(a) No Default or Event of Default, nor any act, event, condition or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice,
or both, would constitute an Event of Default, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document has occurred and is continuing unwaived by the Banks on the date hereof. 
 
(b) The Borrower and Guarantors have the power and authority to enter into this Amendment and to do all acts
and things as are required or contemplated hereunder to be done, observed and performed by them. 
 
(c) This Amendment has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by one or more authorized officers of the Borrower and Guarantors and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Borrower and Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, provided that such enforceability is subject to general principles of equity. 
 
(d) The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower and Guarantors hereunder
do not and will not require the consent or approval of any regulatory authority or governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Borrower, either European Subsidiary or either Guarantor, nor be in contravention of or in conflict with
the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Borrower, either European Subsidiary or Channelmax, Inc., the articles of organization or operating agreement of 4100 Quest, LLC or the provision of any statute, or any
judgment, order or indenture, instrument, agreement or undertaking, to which the Borrower, either European Subsidiary or any Guarantor is party or by which the assets or properties of the Borrower, either European Subsidiary and Guarantors are or
