Preservation of Existence and Franchises Each Credit Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, rights, franchises and authority. Each Credit Party shall remain qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify and be in good standing could have a Material Adverse Effect.
Corporate Franchises The Borrower will do, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and its material rights, franchises and authority to do business; provided, however, that any transaction permitted by Section 8.02 will not constitute a breach of this Section 7.05.
PERMITS, FRANCHISES Borrower possesses, and will hereafter possess, all permits, consents, approvals, franchises and licenses required and rights to all trademarks, trade names, patents, and fictitious names, if any, necessary to enable it to conduct the business in which it is now engaged in compliance with applicable law.
Rights of Others Affecting the Transactions There are no preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company, as such, to acquire the Securities. No other party has a currently exercisable right of first refusal which would be applicable to any or all of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Limitation of Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries Each Borrower and Guarantor shall not, directly, or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any encumbrance or restriction which prohibits or limits the ability of any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor to (a) pay dividends or make other distributions or pay any Indebtedness owed to such Borrower or Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor; (b) make loans or advances to such Borrower or Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor, (c) transfer any of its properties or assets to such Borrower or Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor; or (d) create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than encumbrances and restrictions arising under (i) applicable law, (ii) this Agreement, (iii) customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest of such Borrower or Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor, (iv) customary restrictions on dispositions of real property interests found in reciprocal easement agreements of such Borrower or Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor, (v) any agreement relating to permitted Indebtedness incurred by a Subsidiary of such Borrower or Guarantor prior to the date on which such Subsidiary was acquired by such Borrower or such Guarantor and outstanding on such acquisition date, and (vi) the extension or continuation of contractual obligations in existence on the date hereof; provided, that, any such encumbrances or restrictions contained in such extension or continuation are no less favorable to Agent and Lenders than those encumbrances and restrictions under or pursuant to the contractual obligations so extended or continued.
Preservation of Existence and Similar Matters Except as otherwise permitted under Section 9.4., the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary to, preserve and maintain its respective existence, rights, franchises, licenses and privileges in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and qualify and remain qualified and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and authorization and where the failure to be so authorized and qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Preservation of Corporate Existence and Related Matters Except as permitted by Section 10.4, preserve and maintain its legal existence and all material rights, franchises, licenses and privileges and qualify and remain qualified as a foreign corporation and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Licenses Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, each Acquiror Company possesses from the appropriate Governmental Authority all licenses, permits, authorizations, approvals, franchises and rights that are necessary for such Acquiror Company to engage in its business as currently conducted and to permit such Acquiror Company to own and use its properties and assets in the manner in which it currently owns and uses such properties and assets (collectively, "Acquiror Permits"). No Acquiror Company has received notice from any Governmental Authority or other Person that there is lacking any license, permit, authorization, approval, franchise or right necessary for such Acquiror Company to engage in its business as currently conducted and to permit such Acquiror Company to own and use its properties and assets in the manner in which it currently owns and uses such properties and assets. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, the Acquiror Permits are valid and in full force and effect. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may (with or without notice or lapse of time): (a) constitute or result, directly or indirectly, in a violation of or a failure to comply with any Acquiror Permit; or (b) result, directly or indirectly, in the revocation, withdrawal, suspension, cancellation or termination of, or any modification to, any Acquiror Permit. No Acquiror Company has received notice from any Governmental Authority or any other Person regarding: (a) any actual, alleged, possible or potential contravention of any Acquiror Permit; or (b) any actual, proposed, possible or potential revocation, withdrawal, suspension, cancellation, termination of, or modification to, any Acquiror Permit. All applications required to have been filed for the renewal of such Company Permits have been duly filed on a timely basis with the appropriate Persons, and all other filings required to have been made with respect to such Acquiror Permits have been duly made on a timely basis with the appropriate Persons. All Acquiror Permits are renewable by their terms or in the ordinary course of business without the need to comply with any special qualification procedures or to pay any amounts other than routine fees or similar charges, all of which have, to the extent due, been duly paid.
Compliance with Laws; Licenses (i) The businesses of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries since the Applicable Date have not been, and are not being, conducted in violation of any applicable federal, state, local, foreign or transnational law, statute or ordinance, common law, or any rule or regulation (collectively, “Laws”) or any order, judgment, injunction, ruling, writ, award or decree of any Governmental Entity (collectively, “Order”), except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has any Governmental Entity indicated an intention to conduct the same, except for such investigations or reviews the outcome of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and its Subsidiaries possess each permit, license, certification, approval, registration, consent, authorization, franchise, concession, variance, exemption and order issued or granted by a Governmental Entity (collectively, “Licenses”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses, since the Applicable Date have been in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Licenses, no such Licenses are subject to any actual or possible revocation, withdrawal, suspension, cancellation, termination or modification, and since the Applicable Date have not received written notice from any Governmental Entity alleging a conflict with or breach of any License. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.1(j) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be covered exclusively by Section 5.1(n) or Environmental Laws, which shall be covered exclusively by Section 5.1(m).
