9
properties owned or leased by it or the operation of its business makes such licensing or qualification necessary or desirable, except to the extent that the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing would not (a) adversely affect the ability of the Seller and Seller Parent to carry out its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements or (b) otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect.
