(g) None of the execution and delivery by the Securityholder of this Agreement or the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby or the compliance by the Securityholder with the Securityholder’s obligations hereunder will violate, contravene, result in any breach of, or be in conflict with, or constitute a default under, or create a state of facts which after notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default under: (i) any Contract to which the Securityholder is a party or by which the Securityholder or any of the property or assets of the Securityholder are bound; (ii) any judgment, decree, order or award of any Governmental Entity; or (iii) any applicable Laws, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Securityholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. (h) No consent, waiver, approval, authorization, order, exemption, registration, licence or declaration of or by, or filing with, or notification to any Governmental Entity which has not been made or obtained is required to be made or obtained by the Securityholder in connection with the execution and delivery by the Securityholder and enforcement against the Securityholder of this Agreement or the performance of the Securityholder’s obligations provided for herein other than any filings under insider or early warning requirements of applicable securities laws (provided that the Securityholder makes no representations or warranties with respect to the consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or declarations of or by, or filings with, or notices to any Governmental Entities or other third parties on the part of Hut or USBTC necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement).
