necessary governmental approvals to own, lease, and operate its properties and
to carry on its business as now being conducted except where failure to be so

effect on Buyer. Buyer is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property owned, leased, or

transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement, and the consummation of the Agreement and the other transactions

assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller,
constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against it

in law).

Schedule 4.3, and except for filings, permits, authorizations, consents, and
approvals as may be required under, and other applicable requirements of, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or the Securities

provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws of Buyer, (ii) require
any filing with, or permit authorization, consent, or approval of any court,
arbitral tribunal, administrative agency or commission, or other governmental or
other regulatory authority or agency (a "Governmental Entity"), except where the
failure to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents or approvals or to make
such filings would not have a material adverse effect on Buyer, (iii) result in
a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, amendment,
cancellation, or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions, or
provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract,
agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which Buyer is a party or by
which Buyer or its properties or assets may be bound, or (iv) violate any order,
writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to Buyer or

licenses, variances, exemptions, orders, and approvals of all Governmental
Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of its business (the "Buyer Permits"),
except for failures to hold such permits, licenses, variances, exemptions,

failure so to comply would not have a material adverse effect on Buyer. To the
best knowledge of Buyer, the business of Buyer is not being conducted in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except
for possible violations that do not, and, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen,
in the future will not, have a material adverse effect on Buyer. Except as set
forth in Schedule 4.4, as of the date of this Agreement no investigation or
review by any Governmental Entity with respect to Buyer is pending or, to the
best knowledge of Buyer, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated
an intention to conduct the same other than, in each case, those the outcome of
which, as far as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future will not have a
material adverse effect on Buyer.

warranties of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or in the attached exhibits and
schedules, notwithstanding any investigation thereof by Seller, contains or will
contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit the
