<PAGE>

(g) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is as

described in the Company's most recent periodic report filed with the

Company's stock option plans, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to

employees pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan and

pursuant to the conversion or exercise of outstanding Common Stock

Equivalents. No Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right,

right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the

transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as a result

commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any

Subsidiary (other than Lifestyle Innovations, Inc.) is or may become bound

to issue additional shares of Common Stock, or securities or rights

convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock. The issue and

sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue shares of

Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers)

and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to

adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under such

securities. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company

are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in

compliance with all federal and state securities laws, and none of such

outstanding shares was issued in violation of any preemptive rights or

similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities. No further

the Company or others is required for the issuance and sale of the shares

of Preferred Stock other than Shareholder Approval to comply with rules of

the American Stock Exchange. There are no stockholders agreements, voting

agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Company's

capital stock to which the Company is a party or, to the knowledge of the

Company, between or among any of the Company's stockholders.

Lifestyle Innovations, Inc.) are insured against such losses and risks and

in such amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which

the Company and the Subsidiaries (other than Lifestyle Innovations, Inc.)

are engaged. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (other than Lifestyle

Innovations, Inc.) has any reason to believe that it will not be able to

renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or

to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to

continue its business without a significant increase in cost.

executive officers or directors of the Company and, to the knowledge of

directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement

providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of

real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to

or from any officer, director or such employee or, to the knowledge of the

(r) Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls. The Company is in

material compliance with all provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and the

Subsidiaries (other than Lifestyle Innovations, Inc.) maintain a system of

internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance

that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general

or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to

permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to

maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in

accordance with management's general or specific authorization, and (iv)

the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing

assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with

respect to any differences. The Company has established disclosure

controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and

15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and

procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company,

including its Subsidiaries (other than Lifestyle Innovations, Inc.), is

made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities,

particularly during the period in which the Company's most recently filed

periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being

prepared. The Company's certifying officers have evaluated the

effectiveness of the Company's controls and procedures as of the date

prior to the filing date of the most recently filed periodic report under

the Exchange Act (such date, the "Evaluation Date"). The Company presented

in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the

conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the

disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the

Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant

changes in the Company's internal controls (as such term is defined in

Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) or, to the Company's

knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company's

internal controls.
