The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and all other documents and agreements contemplated by this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been duly authorized and approved by Company.  This Agreement, and all other documents and agreements contemplated by this Agreement have each been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and each is the valid and binding obligation of, Company enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws or by legal or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally.

Neither the making of the Loan or the application of the proceeds or repayment thereof by the Company, nor the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission there under.

No extension of a statute of limitations relating to taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges is in effect with respect to the Company.  Company is not a party to, and has no obligations under, any written tax sharing agreement or agreement regarding payments in lieu of taxes.  Until payment and satisfaction of all Obligations in full the Company shall pay, when due, (i) all tax assessments, and other governmental charges and levies imposed against it or any of its property and (ii) all lawful claims that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon its property; provided, however, that, unless such tax assessment, charge, levy or claim has become a lien on any of the property of the Company it need not be paid if it is being contested in good faith, by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and an adequate reserve or other appropriate provision shall have been established therefore as required in accordance with GAAP.
