manner currently conducted. The Company and each of its subsidiaries is
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in
each jurisdiction in which the nature of the activities conducted by it or the

necessary and the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on
its business.

------------------------------------------
requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform
under, this Agreement, the Rights Agreement and the Warrants and to consummate

without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify the accuracy of any
information furnished to it or to which it had access. The Purchaser is able to
look after its own interests in the transactions contemplated by this agreement
