If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order that the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will promptly take or cause to be taken all reasonable steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. The Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act (in all material respects) and shall promptly advise the Agent in writing in the event that the Borrower shall determine that any investors in the Borrower are in violation of such act.
