From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each provision of all leases and claims to which it is a party or under which it occupies or has rights to property if the breach of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

In the event that the Company believes that a notice or communication to a Subscriber contains material, nonpublic information, relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall so indicate to Subscriber prior to delivery of such notice or information. Subscriber will be granted sufficient time to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information. In such case, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscriber. In the absence of any such indication, Subscriber shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries.

The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto (including, but not limited to, the (i) inclusion of a Subscriber in a registration statement and (ii) review by, and consent to, such registration statement by a Subscriber) shall be deemed to constitute the Subscriber as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscriber are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

A Majority in Interest may consent to take or forebear from any action permitted under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, modify any Transaction Document or waive any default or requirement applicable to the Company, Subsidiaries or Subscriber under the Transaction Documents provided the effect of such action does not waive any accrued damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Subscriber to each other remains unchanged.
(i) Equal Treatment. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscriber and their permitted successors and assigns who agree or are deemed to have agreed to such amendment or consent.
(j) Maximum Payments. Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.
