enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. The execution,
delivery and performance by the Corporation of the Transaction Documents and the

the operations, financial condition or prospects of the Corporation,
or
(b) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse
of time, or both) a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, or result in the
creation of any Encumbrance (as defined in Section 3.10 hereof) upon
any of the properties or assets of the Corporation under its
Articles or Bylaws, or any note, indenture, mortgage, lease
agreement or other contract, agreement or instrument to which the
Corporation is a party or by which any of its properties or assets
