all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets,
information, proprietary rights and processes necessary for its business as now

infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options,
licenses, or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing, nor is WI bound
by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of any kind with respect to

administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best
efforts to promote the interests of WI or that would conflict with WI's business
as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor
delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of WI's business by the
employees of WI, nor the conduct of WI's business as presently conducted or
proposed to be conducted, will, to the best of WI's knowledge, conflict with or
result in a breach of the

knowledge, of any provision of any federal or state statute, rule or regulation
applicable to WI. The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and TRW' Rights Agreement,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or
without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any
such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an

assets of WI or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or
nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval
applicable to WI, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.

or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which WI is
affiliated or with which WI has a business relationship, or any firm or
corporation that competes with WI, except that employees, officers, or directors
of WI and members of their immediate families may own stock in publicly traded
companies that compete with WI. No member of the immediate family of any officer
or director of WI is directly or indirectly interested in any material contract
with WI.
(q) Permits. WI has all franchises, permits, licenses, and any similar
authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by
it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business,
properties, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of WI, and

in default in any material respect under any of such franchises, permits,
licenses, or other similar authority.
(r) Environmental and Safety Laws. To the best of its knowledge, WI is
not in violation of any applicable statute, law or regulation relating to the

to the best of its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any
liens, claims or encumbrances.
(v) Financial Statements.
(a) WI has delivered to TRW its unaudited financial statements

and statement of cash flows, including notes thereto) at December 31, 1998 and
for the fiscal year then ended, and its unaudited financial statements (balance
sheet and profit and loss statement) as at and for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 (the "Financial Statements") (i) the pro forma consolidated
balance sheet of WI and its Subsidiaries as at September 30, 1999 and the pro
forma combined historical income statements dated September 30, 1999, each such
balance sheets and income statements taking into account all transactions
contemplated hereby and by the Related Agreements, such balance sheet and income
statements being attached hereto as Schedule 2.22(a)(ii); and (iii) the
projections of the future performance of WI and its Subsidiaries for the
five-year period following the Closing Date, on a consolidated basis, including
income, net profits, and cash flows, as attached hereto as Schedule 2.22(a)(iii)
(the "Projections"). The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis
throughout the periods indicated and with each other, except that unaudited
Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles applicable to audited annual financial
statements. The Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition and
operating results of WI as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein,
subject in the case of unaudited Financial Statements to normal year-end audit
adjustments. Except as set forth in the Financial Statements, WI has no material
liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the
ordinary course of business subsequent to September 30, 1999 and (ii)
obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of
business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be
reflected in the Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in
the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results
of WI. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, WI is not a guarantor or
indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other
30
person, firm or corporation. WI maintains and will continue to maintain a
standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with

Subsidiaries and the pro forma consolidated income statements referred to in

basis, taking into consideration the effect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the Related Agreements, and WI is not aware of any fact which
casts any doubt on the accuracy or completeness thereof. After giving effect to
the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Related Agreements, WI and its
Subsidiaries will have no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, which
are not referred to in such balance sheet or in the notes thereto.
(c) The Projections constitute a reasonable basis for the

consolidated basis, during the periods indicated therein, and all material
assumptions used in the preparation of the Projections are set forth in the
notes thereto.

operating results of WI from that reflected in the Financial Statements, except

owed to it;

statute of limitations on the assessment or collection of any tax or
governmental charge.
None of WI's federal income tax returns and none of its state income or

charges with respect to its business, properties and operations for such period.
WI has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its employees,

the proper tax receiving officers or authorized depositaries.
(z) Insurance. WI has in full force and effect fire and casualty
insurance policies, with extended coverage, sufficient in amount (subject to
reasonable deductibles) to allow it to replace any of its properties that might

oral, express or implied, contract, commitment or arrangement with any labor
union, and no labor union has requested or, to the best of WI's knowledge, has
sought to represent any of the employees, representatives or agents of WI. There
is no strike or other labor dispute involving WI pending, or to the best of WI's
knowledge, threatened, that could have a material adverse effect on the assets,
properties, financial condition, operating results, or business of WI (as such
business is presently conducted and as it is proposed to be conducted), nor is
WI aware of any labor organization activity involving its employees. WI is not
aware that any officer or key employee, or that any group of key employees,
intends to terminate their employment with WI, nor does WI have a present
intention to terminate the employment of any of the foregoing. The employment of
each officer and employee of WI is terminable at the will of WI. To the best of
its knowledge, WI has complied in all material respects with all applicable
state and federal equal employment opportunity and other laws related to
employment.

the transactions contemplated hereby, WI is solvent, has tangible and intangible
assets having a fair value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable
liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured, and has
access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to
pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts
mature.
(ff) Defaults. No Default or Event of Default exists on the date
hereof. WI is not in default under any provisions of its Articles or under any

instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its property is bound or in
material violation of any law, judgment, decree or governmental order, rule or
regulation.
(gg) Year 2000. To WI's knowledge, all hardware and software products
used by WI in the administration and the business operations of WI will be able

comparing and sequencing) from, into and between the twentieth century (through
year 1999), the year 2000 and the twenty-first century, including leap year
calculations, when used in accordance with the product documentation
accompanying such hardware and software products. Undefined capitalized terms
