Schedule 2.07 The only pending or threatened legal action asserted against ASCR is the matter of Boop v. American Scooter and Cycle Rental, Inc., San Francisco Superior Court Action No. 998587. The suit involves a claim by a customer who rented a motor scooter and sustained personal injuries as the result of a vehicular accident. The matter is covered by ASCR's liability insurance. Recently a court appointed arbitrator awarded the plaintiff the sum of $50,000, a sum that is well within the policy limits. The matter is expected to settle without any exposure to ASCR. Aside from the foregoing matter, ASCR is unaware of any other material claims, actions, proceedings or investigations pending, asserted or threatened against, or involving the Business or the Assets. Schedule 2.09 ASCR is not in default in any material respect under any agreement, contract, lease or other material document relating to the Business or the Assets. There have been no claims of such material defaults and, to the best of ASCR's knowledge, information and belief, there are no facts or conditions which can reasonably be expected to result in such a material default by ASCR. Schedule 2.11 No claims have been threatened or asserted by any person that the manner in which ASCR conducts its business is in violation of any license held by ASCR or that ASCR's use of Intellectual Property infringes any proprietary right or interest of any third party. ASCR makes no warranties or representations whatsoever concerning its ownership or right to use any particular intellectual property.
