Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each of the other agreements contemplated hereby to be entered into by it and to perform its obligations hereunder and there under. Seller is duly authorized, qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which its right, title or interest in or to any of the Assets held by it requires such authorization, qualification or licensing, except where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the operation or use of the Assets, or on the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby (a "Material Adverse Effect").
(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of this Agreement and any other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validity authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Seller.

except for such violations the occurrence of which, and such consents, approvals, filings or notices the failure of which to obtain or make, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or result in the creation of a lien, charge or encumbrance upon any Asset.
(d) Condition of Assets; Assignment of Warranties. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, all tangible Assets are in good operating condition and state of repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and are suitable for the purposes for which they are currently used by Seller.

(f) Litigation. There is no claim, suit, arbitration, action or proceeding pending or, to Seller's knowledge, threatened, against or affecting Seller or the Assets which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any judgment, decree, order, injunction, writ or ruling of any court or other governmental authority or any arbitrator outstanding against Seller which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Intellectual Property Defense. Seller agrees that the intellectual property indemnification provision contained in Section 19 of the MSA applies and is incorporated herein by reference with respect to any intellectual property that may be contained in or associated with any of the Assets.
