4.3           Certain Corporate Matters. Nicaragua is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in every jurisdiction in which the character of Nicaragua's properties or nature of Nicaragua's business requires it to be so licensed or qualified other than such jurisdictions in which the failure to be so licensed or qualified does not, or insofar as can reasonably be foreseen, in the future will not, have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or business. Nicaragua has full corporate power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to carry on the business in which it is engaged or in which it proposes presently to engage and to own and use the properties owned and used by it. Nicaragua has delivered to Ceelox true, accurate and complete copies of its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws, which reflect all restatements of and amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement. The records of meetings of the stockholders and board of directors of Nicaragua are complete and correct in all material respects.

This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Nicaragua and Sunflower and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Nicaragua and Sunflower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.

4.5           Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for applicable requirements of federal securities laws and state securities or blue-sky laws, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any third party, public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by Nicaragua of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Nicaragua nor the consummation by Nicaragua of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Nicaragua with any of the provisions hereof, will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the charter or bylaws of Nicaragua, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Nicaragua  (as hereinafter defined)  is a party or by which they or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Nicaragua, or any of their respective properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not in the aggregate material to Nicaragua taken as a whole.

SCHEDULE 2

Ceelox hereby represents and warrants to Nicaragua as follows:

2.1           Organization. Ceelox has been duly incorporated, is validly existing as a corporation and is in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and has the requisite power to carry on its business as now conducted.

2.2           Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of Ceelox consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 97,385,813 shares will be issued and outstanding at the Closing and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which none will be issued and outstanding at the Closing. All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Ceelox are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free of preemptive rights.  There are no voting trusts or any other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting of Ceelox's capital stock.

2.3           Certain Corporate Matters. Ceelox is duly qualified to do business as a corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties, the employment of its personnel or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on Ceelox's financial condition, results of operations or business. Ceelox has full corporate power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to carry on the business in which it is engaged and to own and use the properties owned and used by it.

2.4           Authority Relative to this Agreement. Ceelox has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Ceelox and the consummation by Ceelox of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the board of directors of Ceelox and no other actions on the part of Ceelox are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Ceelox and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Ceelox, enforceable against Ceelox in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.

2.5           Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for applicable requirements of federal securities laws and state securities or blue-sky laws, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any third party, public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by Ceelox of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Ceelox nor the consummation by Ceelox of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Ceelox with any of the provisions hereof, will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the charter or bylaws of Ceelox, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Ceelox is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Ceelox, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not individually or in the aggregate material to Ceelox.

2.6           Financial Statements.

   (a)           Ceelox has provided Nicaragua with a copy of the audited balance sheet of Ceelox as at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the two fiscal years then ended, together with the unqualified report thereon see RK’s edit on this of

 
19

 

Rothstein, Kass & Company, P.C. (“RKC”), independent auditors (collectively, “Ceelox’s Audited Financials”).

   (b)           Included in Ceelox’s Audited Financials are the unaudited balance sheet of Ceelox as at September 30, 2009, and the related statement of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, as reviewed by RKC (“Ceelox’s Interim Financials”).

   (c)           Ceelox’s Audited Financials and Ceelox’s Interim Financials (collectively “Ceelox’s Financial Statements”) (i) are in accordance with the books and records of Ceelox, (ii) are correct and complete in all material respects, (iii) fairly present the financial position and results of operations of Ceelox as of the dates indicated, and (iv) are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP (except that (x) unaudited financial statements may not be in accordance with GAAP because of the absence of footnotes normally contained therein, and (y) interim (unaudited) financials are subject to normal year-end audit adjustments that in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on Ceelox, its business, financial condition or results of operations.

   (d)           Ceelox’s Financial Statements constitute all of the financial statements of Ceelox required to be included in the Form 8-K due to be filed with the SEC by Nicaragua within four business days of the Closing Date.

2.7           Tax Matters.

   (a)           Except for an extension to file its 2008 tax return, Ceelox has duly filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns required to be filed by or with respect to it with the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority, and no extensions with respect to such tax returns have been requested or granted.

   (b)           Ceelox has paid, or adequately reserved against in Ceelox’s Financial Statements, all material taxes due, or claimed by any taxing authority to be due, from or with respect to them.

   (c)           To the best knowledge of Ceelox, there has been no material issue raised or material adjustment proposed (and none is pending) by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority in connection with any of Ceelox’s tax returns.

   (d)           No waiver or extension of any statute of limitations as to any material federal, state, local or foreign tax matter has been given by or requested from Ceelox.

   For the purposes of this Section 2.7, a tax is due (and must therefore either be paid or adequately reserved against in Ceelox’s Financial Statements) only on the last date payment of such tax can be made without interest or penalties, whether such payment is due in respect of estimated taxes, withholding taxes, required tax credits or any other tax.

2.8           Books and Records. The books and records of Ceelox delivered to Nicaragua prior to the Closing fully and fairly reflect the transactions to which Ceelox is a party or by which its properties are bound.

2.9           Questionable Payments. Neither Ceelox, nor any employee, agent or representative of Ceelox has, directly or indirectly, made any bribes, kickbacks, illegal payments or illegal political contributions using Company funds or made any payments from Ceelox's funds to governmental officials for improper purposes or made any illegal payments from Ceelox's funds to obtain or retain business.


 
20

 

2. 10        Intellectual Property.  Ceelox has no knowledge of any claim that, or inquiry as to whether, any product, activity or operation of Ceelox infringes upon or involves, or has resulted in the infringement of, any trademarks, trade-names, service marks, patents, copyrights or other proprietary rights of any other person, corporation or other entity; and no such proceedings have been instituted, are pending or are threatened. Ceelox represents that it has granted an exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide license to CIP, LLC with respect to all of its intellectual property.

2.11         Litigation. Ceelox is not subject to any judgment or order of any court or quasijudicial or administrative agency of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, nor is there any charge, complaint, lawsuit or governmental investigation pending against Ceelox. Ceelox is not a plaintiff in any action, domestic or foreign, judicial or administrative. There are no existing actions, suits, proceedings against or investigations of Ceelox, and Ceelox knows of no basis for such actions, suits, proceedings or investigations. There are no unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees or stipulations affecting Ceelox or to which Ceelox is a party.

2.12         Legal Compliance. To the best knowledge of Ceelox, after due investigation, no claim has been filed against Ceelox alleging a violation of any applicable laws or regulations of foreign, federal, state and local governments and all agencies thereof. Ceelox holds all of the material permits, licenses, certificates or other authorizations of foreign, federal, state or local governmental agencies required for the conduct of its business as presently conducted.

2.13         Disclosure. The representations and warranties and statements of fact made by Ceelox in this Agreement are, as applicable, accurate, correct and complete and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements and information contained herein not false or misleading.
