AND THE APTI MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS
 
Except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered to CCHI concurrently with the execution hereof (the “APTI Disclosure Letter”), or as disclosed with reasonable specificity in the APTI Financial Statements, APTI and the APTI Majority Shareholders represent and warrant to CCHI that:
 
Section 4.1  EXISTENCE; GOOD STANDING; CORPORATE AUTHORITY.  APTI is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. APTI is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have, individually or in the aggregate, an APTI Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 9.9). APTI has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted. The copies of APTI’s articles of incorporation and bylaws previously made available to CCHI and PTNI are true and correct and contain all amendments as of the date of this Agreement.
 
Section 4.2  AUTHORIZATION, VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF AGREEMENTS.  APTI has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and all other agreements and documents contemplated hereby to which it is a party. The consummation by APTI of the transactions contemplated hereby has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action, other than the approval of the Transaction by APTI’s shareholders. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of APTI, PTNI and CCHI, this Agreement constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of APTI, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.
 
Section 4.3  CAPITALIZATION.  The authorized capital stock of APTI consists of 50,000,000 shares of common stock (“APTI Common Stock”) and 1,000,000 shares of APTI’s preferred stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (“APTI Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement, there were (a)36,466,600 shares of APTI Common Stock issued and outstanding, and (b) no shares of APTI Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.  All issued and outstanding shares of APTI Common Stock (i) are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, (ii) were not issued in violation of the terms of any agreement or other understanding binding upon APTI and (iii) were
 
10

 
issued in compliance with all applicable charter documents of APTI and all applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations. Except (i) as set forth in this Section 4.3, (ii) for any shares of APTI Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of options or other awards referred to in subsection (c) above, and (iii) for shares of APTI Common Stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of such options, there are no outstanding shares of capital stock and there are no options, warrants, calls, subscriptions, shareholder rights plans or similar instruments, convertible securities, or other rights, agreements or commitments which obligate APTI or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer or sell any shares of capital stock or other voting securities of APTI or any of its Subsidiaries. APTI has no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the shareholders of APTI on any matter.
 
Section 4.4  SUBSIDIARIES.  Each of APTI’s Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (where applicable) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing (where applicable) in each jurisdiction in which the ownership, operation or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except for jurisdictions in which such failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing would not have, individually or in the aggregate, an APTI Material Adverse Effect. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other ownership interests in, each of APTI’s Subsidiaries is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and is owned, directly or indirectly, by APTI free and clear of all Liens. Schedule 4.4 of the APTI Disclosure Letter sets forth for each Subsidiary of APTI its name and jurisdiction of incorporation or organization.
 
Section 4.5  NO VIOLATION.  Neither APTI nor any of its Subsidiaries is, or has received notice that it is or would be with the passage of time, in violation of any term, condition or provision of (a) its charter documents or bylaws, (b) any loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license or other instrument or (c) any order of any court, governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal, or any law, ordinance, governmental rule or regulation to which APTI or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets is subject, or is delinquent with respect to any report required to be filed with any governmental entity, except, in the case of matters described in clause (b) or (c), as would not have, individually or in the aggregate, an APTI Material Adverse Effect.

No investigation by any governmental authority with respect to APTI or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the knowledge of APTI, threatened, other than those that would not have, individually or in the aggregate, an APTI Material Adverse Effect.
 
Section 4.6  NO CONFLICT.

(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (i) result in or constitute the satisfaction of a condition to (whether or not there be any additional condition to) any payment from APTI or its Subsidiaries (including severance, unemployment compensation, parachute payment, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, employee or independent contractor of APTI or any of its Subsidiaries under any APTI Plan (as defined in Section 4.11) or otherwise; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any APTI Plan or otherwise; or (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.
