6. Seller’s Representations and Warranties.  Seller warrants and represents with respect to its sale of its membership interests in the Company to Buyer as follows:
 
(a) To the best of Seller’s knowledge, the attached Schedule A is a true, correct and complete listing of the assets and liabilities, contingent or otherwise, of the Company.  The Company is a North Dakota Limited Liability Company, ID number 22672400, and is active and in good standing in the state of North Dakota.  The Company’s current operating agreement is that Joint Venture Agreement executed by the members of the Company November 16, 2006 and attached hereto as Schedule B (the “JV Agreement”).  To the best of Seller’s knowledge there are currently no unsettled or ongoing disputes or litigation that are or could be material to the Company’s business prospects, operations or assets.
 
(b) Seller has good, valid and marketable title to the membership interests, as set forth in Schedule 1, free and clear of any and all liens, equities, claims, charges or other encumbrances or rights of any third parties of any nature (including, but not limited to, options, rights of first refusal or similar rights, contingent or otherwise).  Seller is conveying to Buyer good, valid and marketable title thereto, free and clear of any and all liens, equities, claims, charges or other encumbrances or rights of any third parties.  The attached Schedule 1 is a true, correct and accurate representation of the Seller’s membership interests.
 
(c) Seller has all requisite legal power to enter into and to perform his obligations under this Agreement.  This Agreement and the membership interests or certificate or powers being delivered concurrently herewith have been duly executed and delivered by Seller.  This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, rehabilitation, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
 
(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under or violation of any term of any agreement, contract or instrument to which he is a party or any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or judgment of any court or governmental authority.
 
(e) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, registration or filing with, or notice to, any domestic or foreign governmental authority, regulatory body or court is required for the execution or delivery of, or the performance by Seller of his obligations under, or compliance by Seller with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder.
 
(f) Seller has obtained all consents, approvals and waivers of third parties that may be required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller has not obtained any consent from other holders of LLC membership interests in the Company as set forth in section 2.05 of the JV Agreement, which provides that members of the Company may not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of LLC membership interests in the Company to a third party, to (1) the sale of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement or (2) Haworth’s acquisition of those membership interests in the Company originally owned by Donbara Group LLC, a California limited liability company, the sole member of which was Haworth.
 
7. Information on AEFI.  Seller has been furnished with or has had access to such information and materials concerning AEFI as have been requested by Seller.  In addition, Seller may have received in writing from AEFI such other information concerning its operations, financial condition prospects and other matters as Seller has requested in writing (such other information is collectively the “Other Written Information”) and considered all factors Seller deems material in deciding on the advisability of acquiring the Shares.
 
8. Information on Seller.  Seller is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 Act (the “1933 Act”), is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased securities of United States publicly-owned companies in private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable Seller to utilize the information made available by AEFI to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed acquisition of shares of AEFI, which represents a speculative investment.  Seller has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own its Shares.  Seller is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.
 
9. Acquisition of Shares.  Seller will acquire its Shares as principal for its own account for investment only and not with a view toward, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or any distribution thereof; provided however, that nothing in this Section 9 negates or impairs Seller’s rights under Section 4 and applicable law.
 
10. Compliance with Securities Act.  Seller understands and agrees that its Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, by reason of their issuance in a transaction that does not require registration under the 1933 Act (based in part on the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Seller contained herein), and that such Shares must be held indefinitely unless a subsequent disposition is registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws or is exempt from such registration as contemplated by Section 4.

11. Legend.
 
(a) The initial certificate evidencing the Shares shall bear the following or similar legend:
 
“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, NOR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY AEFI), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR A PERIOD OF TIME PURSUANT TO AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE SHAREHOLDER NAMED THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE INSPECTED AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE. THE COMPANY WILL NOT REGISTER THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES ON THE BOOKS OF THE COMPANY UNLESS AND UNTIL THE TRANSFER HAS BEEN MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH AGREEMENT OR SUCH RESTRICTIONS HAVE BEEN WAIVED BY THE COMPANY.”
 
(b) The first legend set forth above may be removed and AEFI shall issue a certificate without the first legend to the holder of the Shares upon which it is stamped in order to permit the sale of Shares as contemplated by Section 4
 
(c) if, unless otherwise required by federal or state laws, (i) a registration statement covering registered resales of the Shares has been declared effective under the 33 Act and such registration statement remains effective under the 33 Act, or (ii) in connection with any sale, assignment or other transfer of Shares that is not to be effected pursuant to such registration statement, such holder first provides AEFI with an opinion of counsel acceptable to AEFI, to effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 33 Act and that such legend is no longer required.  The holder shall be responsible for the fees of AEFI’s transfer agent and all broker’s fees associated with such issuance.  In the event a sale, assignment or transfer of the Shares is to be made pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the 33 Act, AEFI shall be responsible for the cost of an opinion of counsel acceptable to AEFI and the prompt delivery of such opinion to the holder.
 
12. Communication of Offer.  The offer to acquire the Shares was directly communicated to Seller by AEFI.  At no time was Seller presented with or solicited by any leaflet, newspaper or magazine article, radio or television advertisement, or any other form of general advertising or solicited or invited to attend a promotional meeting otherwise than in connection and concurrently with such communicated offer.
 
13. Restricted Securities.  Seller understands that the Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and Seller will not sell, offer to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any of the Shares unless pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, or unless an exemption from registration is available.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller may transfer (without restriction and without the need for an opinion of counsel) the Shares to its Affiliates (as defined below) provided that each such Affiliate is an “accredited investor” under Regulation D and such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of any person or entity means any other person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such person or entity.  Affiliate includes each parent or subsidiary of a Party.  For purposes of this definition, “control” means the power to direct the management and policies of such person or firm, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
 
14. No Governmental Review.  Seller understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other governmental or state agency has passed on or made recommendations or endorsement of the Shares or the suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.
