(b) The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Amendment Documents (i) are all within each Borrower’s and Guarantor’s respective corporate powers and (ii) are not in contravention of law or the terms of any Borrower’s or Guarantor’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documentation, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Borrower or Guarantor is party or by which any Borrower or Guarantor or its property is bound.
(c) No Default or Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing.

To the extent that any provision of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements are inconsistent with the provisions of this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
6. Further Assurances. Borrowers and Guarantors shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional action as may be requested by Agent to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Amendment.
7. Governing Law. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Amendment and the other Financing Agreements (except as otherwise provided therein) and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Illinois.
