(d)     No Conflicts. The execution and delivery by Onramp of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not: (i) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any law, rule, regulation, order or decree applicable to Onramp; (ii) conflict with or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, any contract to which Onramp is a party; (iii) except as set forth in this Agreement or as required by the federal securities laws, require Onramp to obtain any consent, approval or action of, make any filing with or give any notice to any person as a result or under the terms of any contract to which Onramp is a party; or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any lien or other encumbrance upon the Shares.
