any applicable law;
WHEREAS,
the SPONSOR has previously invested and is willing to invest certain funds in

use its best efforts to procure within 30 days his/her substitution by a
suitably qualified person acceptable to Sponsor. If such substitute is not

Agreement without further notice, and this shall be Sponsor’s sole remedy
in such circumstances except as further defined in Schedule

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Sponsor hereby represents and
warrants that it has examined the facilities of the Institution and found
them entirely adequate and suitable for the purpose of performance of the
