If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party hereto has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party hereto is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
(j) The Company has also retained the Trustee to serve as its stock transfer agent and warrant agent and shall pay the fees set forth in Schedule A for such services. Additionally, the Trustee has agreed to provide all services, including, but not limited to: the mailing of proxy or tender documents to registered holders, all wires in connection with an Initial Business Transaction and maintaining the official record of the exercise of redemption rights and stockholder voting (if applicable).
