With respect to a Holder that is an entity, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and such Holder’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action on the part of such Holder and no other corporate or similar proceedings on the part of such Holder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or for such Holder to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
