Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Term Notes and the Warrants to be issued in connection with this Agreement, (iii) the Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of the date hereof made by certain Subsidiaries of the Company (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Subsidiary Guaranty”) substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, (iv) the Escrow Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Company, the Purchaser and the escrow agent referred to therein, substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Escrow Agreement”), (v) the Put Option and Call Right Agreement dated as of the date hereof, (vii) the Term Note Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof, (viii) the Stock Pledge Agreement, and (ix) all other agreements related to this Agreement and the Term Notes and referred to herein (the preceding clauses (ii) through (vi), collectively, the “Related Agreements”), to issue and sell the Term Notes, to issue and sell the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, and to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, in all jurisdictions in which the nature of their activities and properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so has not, or would not reasonably be expected to individually or in the aggregate, result in a reduction in value of the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), properties, or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries of fifteen percent (15%) or greater, as determined by an independent third party selected by the Purchaser and the Company together (a “Material Adverse Effect”).

4.2 Subsidiaries. (i) Each direct and indirect Subsidiary of the Company, the direct owner of such Subsidiary and its percentage ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 4.2. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “Subsidiary” of any person or entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (other than stock or other ownership interests having such power only by reason of the happening of a contingency) to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation, or other persons or entities performing similar functions for such person or entity, are owned,

directly or indirectly, by such person or entity, or (ii) a corporation or other entity in which such person or entity owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests at such time. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term the “Company” shall be deemed to include its subsidiaries.

4.3 Capitalization; Voting Rights.

Neither the offer, issuance or sale of any of the Term Notes or the Warrants, or Warrant Shares, nor the consummation of any transaction contemplated hereby will result in a change in the price or number of any securities of the Company outstanding, under anti-dilution or other similar provisions contained in or affecting any such securities.

(c) All issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Capital Stock: (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; and (ii) were issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable state and federal laws concerning the issuance of securities.

(a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights; and

The sale of the Term Notes is not and will not be subject to any preemptive rights or rights of first refusal that have not been properly waived or complied with.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has all material franchises, permits, licenses and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which would, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
