(M) maintain its organizational documents in conformity with this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its organizational documents in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 6.1(i) of this Agreement;
