lease, or other commitment which might give rise to a claim against Purchaser,
and there is no event of default or other event which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would constitute a default in any material respect under any such

against Purchaser in respect of which Purchaser has not taken adequate steps to
prevent such a default from occurring.
