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

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

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

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
