(d) | the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) violate any provision of any organizational or governance document of such Party, (ii) require such Party to obtain any consent, approval or action of, or make any filing with or give any notice to, any Governmental Authority in such Party's country of organization or any other Person pursuant to any instrument, contract or other agreement to which such Party is a party or by which such Party is bound, other than any such consent, approval, action or filing that has already been duly obtained or made or otherwise explicitly required hereunder, (iii) conflict with or result in any breach or violation of any of the terms and conditions of, or constitute (or with notice or lapse of time or both constitute) a default under, any instrument, contract or other agreement to which such Party is a party or by which such Party is bound, or (iv) violate any law. |
