conflict with, or in default under, any of the foregoing except as would not
reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The business of the Subsidiary is not being conducted in
violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except
for possible violations that either singly or in the aggregate would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(m) No Undisclosed Liabilities. The Subsidiary has no liabilities or
obligations, known or unknown, absolute or otherwise (individually or in the
aggregate), which have not been disclosed in writing to the Secured Party or
otherwise publicly announced, or as incurred in the ordinary course of the
Subsidiary's business since January 1, 1999, or which, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Litigation and Other Proceedings. There are no lawsuits or
proceedings pending or to the knowledge of the Debtor and/or Subsidiary
threatened, against the Subsidiary, nor has the Debtor and Subsidiary received
any written or oral notice of any such action, suit, proceeding or
investigation, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. No judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree or award has been issued
by or, so far as is known by the Debtor and Subsidiary, requested of any court,
arbitrator or governmental agency which would be reasonably expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.

dispute, nor, to the knowledge of the Debtor and Subsidiary, is any such dispute
threatened which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
None of the Subsidiary's employees is a member of a union and the Debtor and
Subsidiary believe that Subsidiary's relations with its employees are good.
(p) Insurance. The Subsidiary is insured by insurers of recognized
financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as
management of the Debtor and Subsidiary believe to be prudent and customary in
the businesses in which the Subsidiary is engaged. The Debtor and Subsidiary
have no notice to believe that the Subsidiary will not be able to renew its
existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires, or obtain similar
coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a
cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(q) Patents and Trademarks. The Subsidiary has, or has rights to
use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications,
service marks, trade names, copyrights, licenses, trade secrets and other
intellectual property rights which are necessary for use in connection with its
business or which the failure to so have would have a Material Adverse Effect
(collectively, the "Intellectual Property Rights"). To the best knowledge of the
Subsidiary, none of the Intellectual Property Rights is infringing, or will
infringe on any trademark, trade name, patent right, copyright, license, trade
secret or other similar right of others currently in existence rights of any
other Person, and the Subsidiary either owns or has duly licensed or otherwise
acquired all necessary rights with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights.
The Subsidiary has not received any notice from any third party of any claim of
infringement by the Subsidiary of any of the Intellectual Property Rights, and
has no reason to believe there is any basis for any such claim. To the best
knowledge of the Subsidiary, there is no existing infringement by another Person
on any of the Intellectual Property Rights.
(r) Permits; Compliance. Subsidiary is in possession of and
operating in compliance with all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and
orders necessary to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the "Subsidiary Permits")
all of which are valid and in full force and effect, and there is no action
pending or, to the knowledge of the Subsidiary, threatened regarding the
suspension or cancellation of any of the Subsidiary Permits except for such
Subsidiary Permits, the failure of which to possess, or the cancellation, or
suspension of which, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the Debtor and/or Subsidiary's knowledge, the
Subsidiary is in material conflict with, or in material default or material
violation of, any of the Subsidiary Permits. Since January 1, 1999 the
Subsidiary has not received any notification with respect to possible material
conflicts, material defaults or material violations of applicable laws.
(s) Taxes. All federal, state, city and other tax returns, reports
and declarations required to be filed by or on behalf of the Subsidiary have
been filed and such
returns are complete and accurate and disclose all taxes (whether based upon
income, operations, purchases, sales, payroll, licenses, compensation, business,
capital, properties or assets or otherwise) required to be paid in the periods
covered thereby.
(t) No Bankruptcy. Debtor and Subsidiary are aware of no facts or
claims against it that would, and the Debtor and/or Subsidiary has no present
intention to, liquidate the assets of the Subsidiary and/or seek bankruptcy
protection either voluntarily or involuntarily.
(u) No Default. Subsidiary is not in default in the performance or
observance of any material obligation, agreement, covenant or condition
contained in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other material instrument
or agreement to which it is a party or by which it is or its property is bound
(v) Title to Assets. Subsidiary has good and marketable title to all
properties and material assets as owned by it, free and clear of any pledge,
lien, security interest, encumbrance, claim or equitable interest other than
such as are not material to the business of Subsidiary.
(w) Organization of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is a corporation
duly incorporated and existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has all requisite corporate authority to own its properties and to
carry on its business as now being conducted. The Subsidiary is duly qualified
as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by
it makes such qualification necessary, other than those (individually or in the
aggregate) in which the failure so to qualify would not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Subsidiary is not in violation of any
material terms of its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws.
(x) Authority. (i) The Subsidiary has the requisite corporate power
and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement,
(ii) the execution, issuance and delivery of this Agreement by the Subsidiary
and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been

encumbrances other than those created hereunder or by the actions of the Secured
Party.
