obligation to defend the same. To the extent applicable, the Litchfield
Indemnified Parties covenant not to settle or compromise any Claim under this
section without the written consent of IHS, which consent may not be
unreasonably
7
withheld or delayed under the circumstances. Failure to comply with the
preceding covenant shall be deemed a complete waiver of any rights that the

Documents and any other documents and instruments required to be delivered to
which it is or is to become a party and IHS is duly qualified as
10
a foreign corporation to do business in all jurisdictions in which any of the
Facilities are located or in which failure to so qualify would impair its

Agreement, or any other Transaction Document.

performance by IHS of the Facilities Agreement, the First Amendment, the other

after reasonable inquiry, the execution, delivery and performance of the
Facilities Agreement, the First Amendment, the other Transaction Documents and
all of the documents and instruments contemplated to be executed and delivered
by IHS does not and will not conflict with or violate the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of IHS or any material Law, judgment, order or decree
binding on IHS.
(d) No Litigation. To the best of its Knowledge, there is no
material litigation, arbitration proceeding, governmental investigation,
