All necessary corporate action has been taken by such Investor with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Corporation and the other Investors, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of, such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles. 5.2.
