(a) The SEC Reports (i) at the time filed, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of law and the SEC and (ii) did not, at the time they were filed (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such amended or subsequent filing or, in the case of registration statements, at the effective date thereof) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such SEC Reports or necessary in order to make the statements in such SEC Reports, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
