Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has fulfilled and performed all of its obligations with respect to such Permits, except where the failure to perform such obligations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred which allows, or after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination of any such Permit or has resulted, or after notice or lapse of time would result, in any other material impairment of the rights of the holder of any such Permit, except where such revocation or termination would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or the Subsidiaries has received or has any reason to believe it will receive any notice of any proceeding relating to revocation or modification of any such Permit, except as described in the Time of Sale Document and the Final Offering Memorandum or except where such revocation or modification would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
