foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date

standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the
requisite limited liability power to own its properties and to carry on its
business. Issuer is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in

to general principles of equity. Issuer has full corporate power and authority
necessary to enter into and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its
obligations thereunder.

4
(e) No Violation or
Conflict. Assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscriber
in Section 4 are true and correct, neither the issuance and sale of the
Securities nor the performance of Issuer’s obligations under this Agreement and
all other agreements entered into by the Issuers relating thereto by the Issuers
will violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or

reasonably likely to constitute a default in any material respect) of a material
nature under (A) the articles or certificate of incorporation, charter or bylaws
of Issuer, (B) any decree, judgment, order, law, treaty, rule, regulation or

body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over Issuer or over the properties or
assets of Issuer or any of its Affiliates, or (C) the terms of any bond,
debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness, or any agreement, stock
option or other similar plan, indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument to which the Issuers or any of its Affiliates is a party, by which
Issuer or any of its Affiliates is bound, or to which any of the properties of
Issuer or any of its Affiliates is subject, except, in the case of (C), the
violation, conflict, breach, or default of which would not have a Material
Adverse Effect and which would not serve as a basis for any rescission of the
issuance of the Securities.
(f) The Securities. The
Securities, and any other securities issuable upon conversion or exercise
thereof, upon issuance:
(i) are,
or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other

no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Issuers, threatened action, suit,
proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or
arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Issuers that would affect the execution
by Issuer or the performance by the Issuers of its obligations under the
Transaction Documents.
(h) Defaults. Issuer is
not in violation of its articles of organization or operating agreement. Issuer
is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are

Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator

or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a
Material Adverse Effect.
