4.1

of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified and is authorized to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation,
partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, 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
has not, or could not reasonably be expected to have, individually
or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business,
assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise),
properties, operations or prospects of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken individually and as a whole (a åMaterial
Adverse Effectæ).

ownership thereof, is set forth on Schedule 4.2. For the purpose of
this Agreement, a å Subsidiary æ of any person or
entity means (i) a corporation or other entity whose shares of
stock or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power
(other than stock or other ownership interests having such power
only by reason of the happening of a contingency) to elect a
majority of the directors of such corporation, or other persons or
entities performing similar functions for such person or entity,
are owned, directly or indirectly, by such person or entity or (ii)
a corporation or other entity in which such person or entity owns,
directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the equity interests at
such time.

is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order
or writ, which violation or default, in the case of this clause
(y), has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either

execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this
Agreement and the Related Agreements to which it is a party, and

constitute a default under any such term or provision, or result in
the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture

which has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or any
change in the current equity ownership of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis to
assert any of the foregoing. Neither the Company nor any of its

employed by, or to contract with, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries because of the nature of the business to be conducted

knowledge the continued employment by the Company or any of its

written notice that any of its employees is obligated under any

nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere
