For those statements, Registrant claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Seller acknowledges and agrees that by reason of its ownership of the acquired Assets, Seller's officers, directors, and employees have had access to and become informed of "Confidential Information" the disclosure of which would be harmful to the interests of Buyer as the owner and operator of the Assets after the Closing. As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall mean information related to the Assets (i) which derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to, or readily ascertainable by proper means by, other Persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, and (ii) which is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy.

(b) Cooperation. Buyer shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to cause all of the conditions to Seller's obligations under this Agreement within the direct or indirect control of Buyer to be satisfied prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Scope: The License granted herein only confers upon Seller the right to utilize the Licensed Materials for its own internal business purposes on Seller's servers at Seller's Location.

No license is granted under this Agreement to use any other product or proprietary technology of Buyer. 6.5 Piggyback Registration Rights: Buyer hereby grants to Seller "piggyback" registration rights with respect to the restricted shares issued to Seller as the Purchase Price.
