(b) Authority; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action and do not and will not (i) violate any Law currently in effect (other than violations that, singly or in the aggregate, have not had and are not likely to have a Materially Adverse Effect), or any provision of any of the Company’s or the Restricted Subsidiaries’ respective partnership agreements, charters or by-laws presently in effect; (ii) conflict with or result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, or require any payment to be made under (x) any Contractual Obligation to which the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or their respective properties may be
2

(c) Approvals. No approval or consent of, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by, or enforcement against, the Company or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries of this Amendment.
