-4-
Section 3.02. No Conflict. The execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a violation of any law; or (b) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound or affected.
Section 3.03. Consents and Approvals. No governmental approvals and no notifications, filings or registrations to or with any governmental authority or any other person is or will be necessary for the valid execution and delivery by Purchaser of this Agreement and the closing documents to which it is a party, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforceability hereof or thereof, other than those which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.
Section 3.04. Litigation. There are no claims pending or, to the knowledge of Purchaser, threatened, and Purchaser has no knowledge of the basis for any claim, which either alone or in the aggregate, seeks to restrain or enjoin the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. There are no judgments or outstanding orders, injunctions, decrees, stipulations or awards against Purchaser which prohibits or restricts, or could reasonably be expected to result in any delay of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and Companies against any and all costs, judgments, fees or awards whatsoever associated with any proceedings, claims, demands, or other actions made against the Companies for time periods prior to Closing.

Section 3.06. Restricted Common Stock. The Purchaser understands that the Seller nor the Companies have registered the Common Stock under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) or the applicable securities laws of any state in reliance on exemptions from registration. The Purchaser further understands that such exemptions depend upon the Purchaser’s investment intent at the time the Purchaser acquires the Common Stock, the Purchaser therefore represents and warrants that the Purchaser is purchasing the Common Stock for its own account for investment and not with a view to distribution, assignment, resale or other transfer of the Common Stock. Except as specifically stated herein, no other person has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Common Stock. Because the Common Stock shares are not registered, the Purchaser is aware that it must hold the Common Stock indefinitely unless such shares are registered under the Act and any applicable state securities laws or it must obtain exemptions from such registration.
Section 3.07. Items Excluded From Purchase. The Purchaser agrees that the automobile and laptop computer currently owned by the Companies and used by Seller shall be excluded from the Purchase and shall be retained by Seller at the Closing.
