areas within their business and operations, and have developed or are developing
a program to ensure, on a timely basis, that the Software, if containing or
calling on a calendar function including, without limitation, any function
indexed to the CPU clock, and any function providing specific dates or days or
calculating spans of dates or days will, (i) record, store, process, calculate,
present and, where appropriate, insert time and accurate dates and calculations
for calendar dates falling on or after (and, if applicable, spans of time
including) January 1, 2000, (ii) record, store, process, calculate and present
any information and/or data dependent on or relating to such dates in the same
manner, and with the same functionality, data integrity and performance, as the
Software records, stores, processes, calculates and presents calendar dates on
or before December 31, 1999, and in such fashion as to respond to two-digit date
input in

a way that eliminates all ambiguities as to the century of concern, and treats
the year 2000 as a leap-year and correctly and accurately regards and processes
data and information with respect thereto, and (iii) lose no functionality with
respect to the introduction of records, including but not limiting to back-up

proceedings have been instituted or are pending or threatened or, to the
knowledge of GEI and the Sellers, contemplated that challenge the validity of
the ownership by GEI or any Subsidiary of any such intellectual property right.

nor any of the Subsidiaries has licensed anyone to use any of the Software and

conduct of the business of CXI and its Subsidiaries as now operated.

SECTION 4.22.2. CXI and its Subsidiaries have reviewed the
areas within their business and operations, and have developed or are developing
a program to ensure, on a timely basis, that the Software, if containing or
calling on a calendar function including, without limitation, any function
indexed to the CPU clock, and any function providing specific dates or days or
calculating spans of dates or days will, (i) record, store, process, calculate,
present and, where appropriate, insert time and accurate dates and calculations
for calendar dates falling on or after (and, if applicable, spans of time
including) January 1, 2000, (ii) record, store, process, calculate and

present any information and/or data dependent on or relating to such dates in
the same manner, and with the same functionality, data integrity and
performance, as the Software records, stores, processes, calculates and presents
calendar dates on or before December 31, 1999, and in such fashion as to respond
to two-digit date input in a way that eliminates all ambiguities as to the
century of concern, and treats the year 2000 as a leap-year and correctly and
accurately regards and processes data and information with respect thereto, and
(iii) lose no functionality with respect to the introduction of records,
including but not limiting to back-up and archived information and/or data,
containing dates falling on or after January 1, 2000. Based upon such review and

identified on Schedules 4.7.1 and 4.7.2.

SECTION 4.26. NAMES; PRIOR ACQUISITIONS. All names under which CXI and
its Subsidiaries do business as of the date hereof are identified on Schedule
4.26. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.26, neither CXI nor any Subsidiary has
changed its name or used any assumed or fictitious name, or been the surviving
entity in a merger, acquired any business or changed its principal place of
business or chief executive office within three years.

SECTION 4.27. ACCURACY OF INFORMATION FURNISHED BY CXI. Neither any
representation or warranty in this Article IV contains, nor any certificate to
be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, when taken together with such
representations and warranties, shall contain when delivered, any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits or shall omit any material fact necessary
to make the information contained therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

SECTION 4.28. FRANCHISING. Neither CXI nor any of the Subsidiaries is a
franchisor in any franchising relationship or has any franchisees (as such terms

applicable laws, rules and regulations with respect thereto, including any
registration requirements of any state or other jurisdiction.

proportion to their ownership of GEI severally shall, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Article IX, indemnify and hold CXI harmless in respect of the
aggregate of all Indemnifiable Damages CXI.

SECTION 9.1.1. "INDEMNIFIABLE DAMAGES" of CXI means, without
duplication, the aggregate of all expenses, losses, costs, deficiencies,
liabilities and damages (including reasonable related counsel and paralegal fees
and expenses) incurred or suffered by GEI or CXI net of any economic benefit to
the extent (i) resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty
(whether or not so captioned) of the Sellers in or pursuant to Article III or
elsewhere herein; (ii) resulting from any breach of the covenants or agreements
(whether or not so captioned) of GEI or the Sellers in this Agreement; or (iii)
resulting from any inaccuracy in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section
5.2.

SECTION 9.1.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with
respect to the measurement of Indemnifiable Damages, CXI shall have the right to
be put in the same after-tax financial position as they would have been in had
each of the representations and warranties of GEI and the Sellers been true and
complete and had each of the covenants of GEI and the Sellers been performed in
full.

SECTION 9.1.3. Each of the representations and warranties made by GEI
or the Sellers in this Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive for a period
of 36 months after the Initial Closing Date or the Subsequent Closing Date, as
the case may be, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on
behalf of CXI, and upon the expiration of such 36 month period such
representations and warranties shall expire except as follows: (i) the
representations and warranties of GEI and the Sellers contained in Sections 3.6

and CXI to recover Deductible Exempt Damages shall not be affected by the
preceding sentence.

right to control at the Sellers' expense, the audit (and disposition thereof )
of any tax return relating to periods ended on or prior to the Initial Closing
Date and to participate in and approve the disposition of the audit of any tax
return relating to the periods ended after the Initial Closing Date if such
audit or disposition thereof could give rise to a claim for indemnification
hereunder. CXI shall have the right, directly or through its designated
representatives, to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in
the course of audits or appeals thereof to any taxing authority relating to
periods ending on or prior to the Initial Closing Date and to approve the
disposition of any audit adjustment with respect to such periods if such

harmless the Sellers in respect of all Losses of the Sellers. For this purpose,

right to be put in the same after-tax financial position as they would have been
in had each of the representations and warranties of CXI been true and complete
and had each of the covenants of CXI been performed in full.

SECTION 9.2.3. Each of the representations and warranties made by CXI
in this Agreement or pursuant hereto shall survive for a period of 36 months
after the Initial Closing Date or the Subsequent Closing Date, as the case may
be, notwithstanding any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of
Sellers, and upon the expiration of such 36 month period such representations
and warranties shall expire except as follows: (i) the representations and
warranties of CXI contained in Sections 4.6 and 4.21 shall expire at the time

representations and warranties relate; (ii) the representations and warranties
of CXI contained in Sections 4.18, 4.19 and 4.28 shall expire at the time the
