Subsidiary has good title to all other properties and assets
material thereto, used in its business or owned by it (except real
and other properties and assets as are held pursuant to leases or
licenses described in the SEC Documents), free and clear of all
Liens, mortgages, security interests, pledges, charges, and
encumbrances.
(ii) All
accounts and notes receivable reflected in the OIT consolidated

assets owned by OIT or any Subsidiary or leased or licensed thereby
from or to a third party are in good and usable condition
(reasonable wear and tear which is not such as to affect adversely
the operation of the business of OIT and its Subsidiaries
excepted).

the best of the Company’s Knowledge, no real property owned
by OIT or any Subsidiary thereof or leased or licensed thereby from
or to a third party lies in an area which is, or will be, subject
to zoning, use, or building code restrictions which would prohibit,
and, to the best of the Company’s Knowledge, no state of
facts relating to the actions or inaction of another person or
entity or his or its ownership, leasing, or licensing of any real
or personal property exists or will exist which would prevent, the
continued effective ownership, leasing, or licensing of such real
property in the businesses in which OIT and its Subsidiaries is now
engaged or the respective businesses in which it contemplates
engaging. Each of OIT and its Subsidiaries has valid leasehold
interest in all real property and interests in real property leased
by it free and clear of all Liens. There exists no default, or any
event which upon notice or the passage of time, or both, would give
rise to any default, in the performance of the Company or, to the
Knowledge of the Company, by any lessor under any lease of real
property.
(vi) The
properties and assets owned by OIT and its Subsidiaries (other than
those leased or licensed thereby to a third party) or leased or
licensed thereby from a third party constitute all such properties
and assets which are necessary to the respective businesses of OIT
and its Subsidiaries as presently conducted or as it contemplates
conducting.

OIT nor OncoVista has any liability of any nature, accrued or

state, local, or foreign taxes and penalties, interest, and

provisions for Taxes, if any, in the Last OIT Balance Sheet are
sufficient for all accrued and unpaid Taxes of OIT, whether or not
due and payable and whether or not disputed, under tax laws, as in
effect on the date of the Last OIT Balance Sheet or now in effect,
for the period ended on such date and for all fiscal periods prior
thereto. The execution, delivery, and performance of
this Note and the Transaction Documents by OIT and OncoVista, as
applicable, will not cause any Taxes to be payable or cause any
Lien, charge, or encumbrance to secure any Taxes to be created
either immediately or upon the nonpayment of any
Taxes. The Internal Revenue Service has audited and
settled or the statute of limitations has run upon all federal
income tax returns of OIT and OncoVista for all taxable years up to
and including the taxable year ended December 31,
2001. OIT has filed all federal, state, local, and
