2. I have reviewed the terms of the Loan Agreement, and have made, or have caused to be made under my supervision, a review in reasonable detail of the transactions and the financial condition of Borrower, during the immediately preceding fiscal month.
3. I have no knowledge of the existence and continuance on the date hereof, of any condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default, or act, condition or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default, except as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. Described on Schedule I attached hereto are the exceptions known to me, if any, to this Section 3 listing, in detail, the nature of the condition or event, the period during which it has existed and the action which Borrower or any Obligor has taken, is taking, or proposed to take with respect to such condition or event.

(c) | Materially changed the terms upon which it sells goods (including sales on consignment) or provides services, nor has any material vendor or trade supplier to Borrower during or at the end of such period materially adversely changed the terms upon which it supplies goods to Borrower. |
(d) | Permitted or suffered to exist any security interest in or liens on any of its properties, whether real or personal, other than as specifically permitted in the Financing Agreements. |
(e) | Received any notice of, or obtained knowledge of any of the following not previously disclosed to Agent: (i) the occurrence of any event involving the release, spill or discharge of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Law in a material respect or (ii) any investigation, proceeding, complaint, order, directive, claims, citation or notice with respect to: (A) any non-compliance with or violation of any applicable Environmental Law by any Borrower or Guarantor in any material respect or (B) the release, spill or discharge of any Hazardous Material in violation of applicable Environmental Law in a material respect or (C) the generation, use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, handling, production or disposal of any Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Environmental Laws in a material respect or (D) any other environmental, health or safety matter, which has a material adverse effect on Borrower or its business, operations or assets or any properties at which Borrower transported, stored or disposed of any Hazardous Materials. |
(f) | Become aware of, obtained knowledge of, or received notification of, any breach or violation of any material covenant contained in any instrument or agreement in respect of Indebtedness for money borrowed by Borrower. |
5. Attached hereto as Schedule III are the calculations used in determining, as of the end of such fiscal month or quarter, as applicable, whether Borrower were in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 9.17 of the Loan Agreement for such fiscal month or quarter.
