The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made for purposes of the APA and GPA are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed by the respective parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the APA and GPA. In addition, certain representations and warranties were made as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the respective parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

The completion of the transaction is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the sale of the Company's facility at 3120 Forrer Street, Cincinnati ("Forrer Property").

    The Agreement of Sale requires K&B to make an initial deposit of $100,000 and provides for a 60 day due diligence period within which K&B may elect to terminate the Agreement of Sale for any reason and reclaim the deposit.
