(c)    No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or any other action by any Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Applicant of this Amendment except for (a) such consents, authorizations, filings or other actions that have been made or obtained and are in full force and effect and (b) such actions, consents and approvals the failure to be obtained or made which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
