(b) The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby will not conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser is bound.
