4.1 Business, Etc. The Borrower is a corporation organized, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and is registered to do business as a foreign corporation in each state where the Borrower is required to be so registered, including specifically the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Neither the execution and delivery of the Loan

Documents, nor compliance with the terms thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of any provisions of the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s organizational documents or of any agreement to which the Borrower or the Guarantor is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a default under any of the foregoing, or result in the creation of any encumbrance upon any property of the Borrower under the terms of any such agreement.

No civil or criminal action brought pursuant to the provisions of Title I, Subtitle B, Part 5 of ERISA is pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against any fiduciary of any Employee Plan. None of the Employee Plans or any fiduciary thereof has been the direct or indirect subject of an audit, investigation or examination by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency.

4.8.9 All of the Employee Plans comply currently, and have complied in the past, in all material respects both as to form and operation, with their terms and with the provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and all subsequent federal legislation affecting qualified plans generally); all necessary governmental approvals for the Employee Plans have been obtained and a favorable determination as to the qualification under Section 401(a) of such Code of each of the Pension Benefit Plans and each amendment thereto has been made by the Internal Revenue Service and a recognition of exemption from federal income taxation under Section 510(a) of the Code of each of the funded welfare benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA has been made by the Internal Revenue Service, and nothing has occurred since the date of each such determination or recognition letter that would adversely affect such qualification.
