Since the date of the Latest Financials, there has been no change to such Additional Company’s financial condition which has had a Material Adverse Effect.

There is no pending or, to such Company’s knowledge, threatened action, suit, investigation, litigation or proceeding before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
