The Company is not in violation or default of any of the provisions of its articles of organization, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents. The Company is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)       Power and Authority. The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has received all necessary approvals for such transactions from its Board of Directors as required under applicable law. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, when executed and delivered by the Company, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and except as the remedy of specific performance and other equitable relief may be unavailable in certain cases.

(c)       No Defaults; No Consents. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transactions Documents to which the Company is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, by the Company will (i) conflict with, result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default under any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any judicial or governmental agency or authority applicable to the Company, any provision of the Company’s articles of organization, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents, or any material contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its assets are bound or subject, or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any material claim or encumbrance of any nature upon any of the assets of the Company or the Shares pursuant to the terms of any of the foregoing or otherwise.
