Management, Ownership The Company shall not materially change its ownership, executive staff or management without the prior written consent of the Secured Party. The ownership, executive staff and management of the Company are material factors in the Secured Party's willingness to institute and maintain a lending relationship with the Company.
Property Ownership Except as set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in the SEC Documents and except as would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns its property and assets free and clear of all Liens, except such Liens which arise in the ordinary course of business and do not impair its ownership or use of such property or assets, and (ii) with respect to the property and assets it leases, if any, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with such leases and, to its knowledge, holds a valid leasehold interest free of any Liens except as set forth under the terms of the lease.
Company Ownership of Other Entities The Company does not own an interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity.
Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Company’s Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries as of the Execution Date, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization and, with respect to each Material Subsidiary, the percentage of shares of each class of its Capital Stock outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary.
(b) All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).
(c) Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.
(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting its ability to make Restricted Payments to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, except for such restrictions that do not impair the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to make payments hereunder and under the Notes.
Independent Entities None of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to create, nor shall any be construed to create, any relationship between the Parties other than that of independent entities contracting with each other solely to effectuate the provisions of the Agreement.
