validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
possesses full corporate power and corporate capacity to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby and is authorized to conduct business in all
jurisdictions wherein the nature of its activities requires such except where

Guaranty and all other documents to be executed by the Guarantor in connection
therewith, when executed and delivered by the respective parties thereto, will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantor. The execution and
delivery by the Guarantor of the Financing Documents to which it is a party
and
the performance thereof by the Guarantor (1) have been authorized by all
necessary corporate action and (2) do not and will not conflict with, or result
in any breach of, or constitute a default under the Guarantor’s articles of
incorporation or by-laws or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan
or
credit agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which the Guarantor
is
a party or by which the Guarantor or any of its Property may be bound for which
a valid consent has not been secured except where the failure to do so would
not

of
any Lien (other than that created by the Financing Documents) upon or with
respect to any Property of the Guarantor.

approval or other action by any Governmental Authority is required in connection

date hereof, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity,
or
before or by any Governmental Authority, pending or, to the knowledge of the

likely to materially adversely affect the financial condition of the Guarantor
and of the Company taken as a whole or involving the validity or enforceability
of the Financing Documents to which it is a party or the priority of the Liens
thereof, and to the Guarantor’s knowledge it is not in default with respect to
any material order, writ, judgment, decree or demand of any court or any
Governmental Authority.
SECTION
1.5. NO DEFAULTS. No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon
the
execution of this Guaranty, would constitute an Event of Default under Article

and other reports and documents required to have been filed by the Guarantor
have been filed and the Guarantor has paid all fees and taxes indicated as
