Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, to the extent applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and in good standing, to the extent applicable, to do business as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except in each case where the failure to so qualify would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Organizational Documents. 
(b)Authority.  The Company has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this 











Agreement and the Note, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the Sale.

This Agreement and the Note, when executed and delivered by the Company and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors generally or by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).  The Board of Directors of the Company has determined, at a duly convened meeting or pursuant to a unanimous written consent, that the consummation of the Sale (including without limitation the issuance of the Conversion Shares), are in the best interests of the Company.
