written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof (which must be

and performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or cause a breach or

default, or an event that with or without the passage of time or notice, shall

constitute a breach or default, under any agreement to which the Company is a

party or by which the Company is bound. No consent (including, without

limitation, from stock holders or creditors of the Company) is required for the
