The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its activities and of its properties (both owned and leased) makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions in which failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its business. 2. 3.2 SUBSIDIARIES. The Company does not own or control any equity security or other interest of any other corporation, limited partnership or other business entity. The Company is not a participant in any joint venture, partnership or similar arrangement.

To the Company's knowledge, there are no Liabilities of the Company of any kind whatsoever, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances that could reasonably be expected to result in a Liability of the Company, other than (a) Liabilities reflected in the Financial Statements, (b) Liabilities that have arisen after the date of the Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business (none of which is a Liability for breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement claim or lawsuit) and that, in the aggregate, do not exceed $25,000, and (c) Liabilities that have arisen after the date of the Balance Sheet in connection with the preparation, execution and negotiation of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. 3.6 AGREEMENTS; ACTION. (A) There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, proposed transactions, judgments, orders, writs or decrees to which the Company is a party or to its knowledge by which it is bound which may involve (i) obligations (contingent or otherwise) of, or payments to, the Company in excess of $50,000 (other than obligations of, or payments to, the Company arising from purchase or sale agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business), or (ii) the transfer or license of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right to or from the Company (other than licenses arising from the purchase of "off the shelf" or other standard products), (iii) indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of proprietary rights (other than indemnification obligations arising from purchase or sale or license agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business), or (iv) employment or labor matters (including, without limitation, any severance, "change of control" or other similar payments, obligations or matters).

The execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with the Loan Documents, and the issuance of the Notes pursuant hereto and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, will not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such material violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a material default under any such term, or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties. 3.12 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened in writing against the Company that questions the validity of the Loan Documents, or the right of the Company to enter into any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or which would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any material adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for any of the foregoing. The Company is not a party or, to its knowledge, subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality.

All taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns, any assessments imposed, and to the Company's knowledge all other taxes due and payable by the Company on or before the Closing, have been paid or will be paid prior to the time they become delinquent. The Company has no knowledge of any liability of any tax to be imposed upon its properties or assets as of the date of this Agreement that is not adequately provided for.

The Company has never contributed to any "multi-employer plan" as such term is defined in ERISA. To the Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the Company; and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts with its independent contractors, will not result in any such violation.
