5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrowers jointly and severally represent and warrant as follows:

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Each Borrower is duly existing and in good standing in its jurisdiction of formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. In connection with this Agreement, Borrowers have delivered to Bank completed certificates signed by each Borrower and Guarantor, each entitled “Perfection Certificate.” Borrowers represent and warrant to Bank that, except as Borrowers may hereafter disclose to Bank pursuant to Section 7.2, (a) each Borrower’s exact legal name is indicated on the applicable Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) each Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the applicable Perfection Certificate; (c) each Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the applicable Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Borrower has none; (d) each Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth the applicable Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as such Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) no Borrower (nor any predecessors of any Borrower) has, in the past 5 years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificates pertaining to any Borrower and their Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrowers may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificates after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If a Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrowers shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank with such Borrower’s organizational identification number.

The execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of such Borrower’s organizational documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which any Borrower or any of Borrowers’ Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect) or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which any Borrower is bound. Neither Borrower is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2 Collateral. Borrowers have good title to, have rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which they purport to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrowers have no deposit accounts other than the deposit accounts with Bank, the deposit accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Bank in connection herewith, or of which Borrowers have given Bank written notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Bank a perfected security interest therein, and the Excluded Collateral Accounts. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse), except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate and fully insured goods in transit in the ordinary course of business. Except as hereafter disclosed to Bank in writing by Borrowers, none of the components of the Collateral shall be maintained at locations other than (a) as provided in the Perfection Certificate, (b) fully insured components of the Collateral that may be located in transit between Borrower’s locations in Belgium, Italy and Hong Kong or (c) the following locations at which no more than $100,000 in the aggregate of Collateral may be located at any time: (i) mobile equipment, including computers with employees and consultants at various locations, (ii) Collateral at locations Bank has been notified of pursuant to Section 7.2, (iii) Collateral at temporary locations for sales, testing or demonstration purposes and (iv) other locations. In the event that Borrowers, after the date hereof, intend to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee, then Borrowers will first receive the written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank. The foregoing requirement for a written acknowledgement shall not apply with respect to any bailee that (i) does not have an established course of business with any Borrower and (ii) holds Collateral solely as part of a “start-up” testing regimen to establish such bailee as a regular part of the Borrower’s supply chain, provided that the exception to the written acknowledgement requirement contained in this sentence shall only apply until such bailee has entered into a formal agreement with one or more of the Borrowers. The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors. Except for Inventory with an aggregate value, at any time, of not more than $200,000, all Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable quality, free from material defects. Borrowers are the sole legal and beneficial owners of their Intellectual Property, except for (a) non-exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property granted to third parties in the ordinary course of business, (b) exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property that could not result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property that are exclusive only in respects other than territory or exclusive as to territory only as to discreet geographical areas outside of the United States or (c) other non-exclusive licenses of Intellectual Property that could not result in a legal transfer of title of the licensed property. Each patent that is material to Borrowers’ business is valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property that is material to Borrowers’ business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best of Borrowers knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party.
