any such Contractual Obligation. Upon request by counsel for the Investors, the
Company will, prior to each Closing, furnish to counsel for the Investors true
and correct copies of all Contractual Obligations listed in Schedule 3.9.
3.10 Insurance. The Company has insurance policies in full force and
effect, written by reputable insurers licensed to write insurance in the states
in which the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct business, which insurance
contracts provide for coverages which are usual and customary in its business as
to amount and scope. Schedule 3.10 contains a correct and complete list and
description of all insurance policies owned by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, correct and complete copies of which have previously been made
available to the Investors. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is
in default under any of its insurance policies, nor has the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries received any notice of cancellation or intent to cancel or
increase premiums with respect to present insurance policies. Schedule 3.10 also
contains a list of all pending claims with any insurance company and any
instances of a denial of coverage of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by
any insurance company.
3.11 Transactions with Affiliates. Other than as set forth in Schedule
3.11, no Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary is a customer or supplier
of, or is party to any Contractual Obligation with, the Company or any
Subsidiary.
3.12 Conformity With Legal Requirements. The operations of the Company
and its Subsidiaries as now conducted are not in violation of, nor is the
Company or any Subsidiary in default under, any Legal Requirements presently in
effect or the Company's or any Subsidiary's Charter or By-Laws. The Company and
its Subsidiaries have all franchises, licenses, permits or other authority
presently necessary for the conduct of their businesses as now conducted.
3.13 Benefit Plans. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a complete list of all
Employee Benefit Plans and all Welfare Plans applicable to the employees of the
Company and its Subsidiaries. Each Employee Benefit Plan and Welfare Plan has
been administered in substantial compliance with its terms and all applicable
laws, including the Code and ERISA. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13,
neither Company nor any Subsidiary has any obligation under any Welfare Plan to
provide for the continuation of benefits (other than disability payments and
medical benefits incurred for illness arising in the course of employment) for
more than one year after retirement or other termination of employment. No
"reportable events" within the meaning of section 4043 of ERISA have occurred
with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. No Pension Plan is a "multiemployer
plan" as defined in ERISA. The present value of benefits liabilities as
described in Title IV of ERISA of Employee Benefit Plans does not exceed the
current value of such Employee Benefit Plans assets allocable to such benefits
liabilities by more than $50,000.
3.14 Employees. None of the employees of the Company or any Subsidiary
is presently represented by a labor union, and no petition has been filed or
proceedings instituted by any employee or group of employees with any labor
relations board seeking recognition of a bargaining representative. Except as
set forth in Schedule 3.14, no controversies or disputes are pending between the
9
Company or any Subsidiary and any of its employees. To the Company's knowledge,
no employee of the Company or any Subsidiary is in violation of any term of any
Contractual Obligation with a former employer relating to the right of any such
employee to be employed by the Company or such Subsidiary because of the nature
of the Company's or such Subsidiary's business or the use of any trade secrets
or proprietary information. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14, each employee
of the Company and its Subsidiaries is an "employee at will" and may be
terminated by the Company or such Subsidiary without payment of any amounts
other than accrued wages.
3.15 Taxes. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all
federal, state and local tax and information returns which are required to be
filed by it and such returns are true and correct. The Company and each of its
Subsidiaries have paid all taxes, interest and penalties, if any, reflected in
such tax returns or otherwise due and payable by it. The Company has no
knowledge of any material additional assessments or any basis therefor. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the balance sheet of the Company as of the
Balance Sheet Date in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are
adequate in amount for the payment of all liabilities for such taxes or other
governmental charges. The Company and its Subsidiaries have withheld or
collected from each payment made to its employees the amount of all taxes
required to be withheld or collected therefrom and has paid over such amounts to
the appropriate taxing authorities. Any deficiencies proposed as a result of any
governmental audits of such tax returns have been paid or settled or are being
contested in good faith, and there are no present disputes as to taxes payable
by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
3.16 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16, No litigation or
proceeding before, or investigation by, any foreign, federal, state or municipal
board or other governmental or administrative agency or any arbitrator is
pending or, to the Company's knowledge, threatened (nor to the Company's
knowledge, does any basis exist therefor) against the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or, to the Company's knowledge, any officer of the Company or any
Subsidiary, which individually or in the aggregate could result in any material
liability or which may otherwise result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which
seeks rescission of, seeks to enjoin the consummation of, or which questions the
validity of, this Agreement or any other Related Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Investors severally represents and warrants to the Company that:

investors" for purposes of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

applicable closing, subject to the terms hereof and related contemporaneous
agreements, for investment for his or its own account and not with a view to, or
for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and that such Investor
has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise
distributing the same; provided, however, that the disposition of the Investors'
property shall at all times remain in the Investors' control. By executing this
Agreement, each Investor further represents and warrants that such Investor does
not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to
sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person,
