The execution and delivery of this Sponsor Support Agreement by Sponsor does not, and the performance by Sponsor of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if Sponsor is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the Organizational Documents of Sponsor or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon Sponsor or Sponsor’s Subject Shares ), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Sponsor of its, his or her obligations under this Sponsor Support Agreement.
(d) Litigation. There are no Actions pending against Sponsor, or to the knowledge of Sponsor threatened against Sponsor, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Sponsor of its obligations under this Sponsor Support Agreement.
