Adverse Effect as defined in Section 4.1(f).

principles. The Company has the absolute and unrestricted right, power,
authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and any agreement
executed by it in connection herewith and to perform its obligations hereunder

statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
