closing of the Debt Financing, will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Maker does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Maker and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Maker).
