2.1

Company is a corporation duly and properly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified does not and would not have a material adverse effect on the business, properties or assets of Company.
