corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted. The Borrower is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its
ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary and where the failure so to qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect. Material Adverse Effect means any material adverse
effect on the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or on the business, operations, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Borrower.





b.  Each of the Loan Documents has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and is a valid and binding
obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights
generally, and the Borrower has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.





c.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Loan Documents will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of or a
default under any of the terms or provisions of, (A) the Borrowers certificate of incorporation or by-laws, or (B) any material provision of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material agreement or instrument to




2

which the Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or
assets is bound, (ii) result in a violation of any material provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, or any existing applicable decree, judgment or order by any court, Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Borrower, or any of its material properties or assets or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material property or assets of the Borrower or
any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of their property or any of them is subject.





d.  No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental
authority on the part of the Borrower is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Loan Documents.





All representations and warranties made by Borrower under or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loans and issuance and delivery of the Note to Lenders, notwithstanding any investigation made by Lenders
or on Lenders behalf. All statements contained in any certificate or financial statement delivered by Borrower to Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall constitute representations and warranties made by Borrower
hereunder.

persons is in excess of $100,000, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereinafter be created, and such default entitles the holder thereof to declare such indebtedness to be due and payable, and such indebtedness has not been discharged in
full or such acceleration has not been stayed, rescinded or annulled within twelve (12) business days of such acceleration, or (ii) default in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any Indebtedness in excess
of $100,000 or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or
