Except as set forth in the CYRB SEC Documents (excluding all disclosures included in the Seller SEC Documents contained under the headings “Risk Factors,” “Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements” or “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”, or in any other sections to the extent such disclosures are prospective or forward-looking statements or cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature); provided, that nothing disclosed in the Seller SEC Documents shall be deemed to be a qualification of, or modification to, the representations and warranties in this Article VI), or the corresponding sections of the disclosure letter delivered by CYRB to Proton Green and the Members together with this Agreement (the “CYRB Disclosure Letter”), it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any schedule or section of the CYRB Disclosure Letter (whether or not an explicit cross reference appears herein) shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to any other section to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent, CYRB represents and warrants to Proton Green and the Members, that:

CYRB is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification necessary and where the failure to so qualify would reasonably be expected to have a CYRB Material Adverse Effect. CYRB has delivered to Proton Green true and complete copies of the CYRB Articles of Incorporation and the CYRB Bylaws, as amended through date of this Agreement.
6.2. Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. CYRB does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other equity interest in any Person.

6.6. No Conflicts; Consents.
(a) The execution and delivery by CYRB of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, contravene, conflict with or result in any Default under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any Person under, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of CYRB under, any provision of (i) the CYRB Articles of Incorporation or CYRB Bylaws, (ii) any material Contract to which CYRB is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 6.6(b), any material Governmental Order or material Law applicable to CYRB or its properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a CYRB Material Adverse Effect.
