3.6          Disclosure.  No representation or warranty of Execuserve contained in this Agreement, any financial statement, certificate or document furnished to the Investor contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statement contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.
 
3.7          Non-Contravention.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party by Execuserve, the issuance of the securities, and the consummation by Execuserve of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by Execuserve of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of Execuserve, each as currently in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which Execuserve is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (iii) to its knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over Execuserve or any of its properties or assets, except such conflict, breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
 
3.8          Absence of Certain Changes.  Since December 31, 2008, there has been no Material Adverse Change with respect to Execuserve and it has not (i) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) sold, assigned or transferred any other tangible assets, or canceled any debts owed to the Company by any third party  or claims of the Company against any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (iv) made any increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (v) experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their employment.
 
3.9          Absence of Litigation.  As of the date of this Agreement, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of Execuserve, threatened against or affecting Execuserve before or by any governmental authority or nongovernmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of Execuserve to perform its obligations under, any of the Loan Documents.  Execuserve is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which Execuserve is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 
12

 
 
3.10        Absence of Events of Default.  Except to the extent described on Schedule 3.10, Execuserve is not in default in the performance or observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any material indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement to which it is a party or by which its property is bound, and (ii) no Event of Default (or its equivalent term), as defined in the respective agreement to which Execuserve is a party, and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would become an Event of Default (or its equivalent term) (as so defined in such agreement), has occurred and is continuing, which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
3.11        No Undisclosed Liabilities or Events.  To the best of Execuserve’s knowledge, Execuserve has no liabilities or obligations other than those disclosed in the Loan Documents or financial statements delivered to the Investor or those incurred in the ordinary course of Execuserve’s business since December 31, 2008, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth in Schedule 3.11.  Except for the Merger, there are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of Execuserve which proposal would (x) change its organizational documents as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of Execuserve’s stockholders or (y) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of Execuserve.
 
3.12        Full Disclosure.  To the best of Execuserve’s knowledge, there is no fact known to it that has not been disclosed to the Investor that would reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
