Each Stockholder represents and warrants, severally and not jointly and on its own account with respect to the Subject Shares, to Parent and Purchaser as to such Stockholder that:

2.1 Authorization; Binding Agreement. If such Stockholder is not an individual, such Stockholder is duly organized and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or constituted and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Stockholder’s entity powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary entity actions on the part of such Stockholder, and such Stockholder has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

2.2 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder nor the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance by such Stockholder with any provisions herein will (a) if such Stockholder is not an individual, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation of any of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other similar charter or organizational documents of such Stockholder, (b) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any supranational, national, foreign, federal, state or local government or subdivision thereof, or governmental, judicial, legislative, executive, administrative or regulatory authority on the part of such Stockholder, except for compliance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other United States or federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (c) contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or result in a default under (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, license, agreement, contract, indenture or other instrument or obligation to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its assets may be bound, (d) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind on any asset of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Purchaser), or (e) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its assets are bound, except as would not, in the case of each of clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e), reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
