(a) Legal Existence and Power.

and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is now conducted except where the failure to have such licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Seller is duly qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every other jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Entity and Governmental Authorization; Contravention.

(c) Binding Effect. The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(d) Solvency. Such Seller is not insolvent, does not have unreasonably small capital with which to carry on its business, is able to pay its debts generally as they become due and payable, and its liabilities do not exceed its assets. TriMas Corp. is, and TriMas Corp. and its Subsidiaries are, on a consolidated basis, solvent.
(e) Consents, Licenses, Approvals, Etc. No consents, including, without limitation, consents under loan agreements and indentures to which any Seller or its Affiliates are parties, licenses or approvals are required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Amendment, or the validity and enforceability against such Seller of this Amendment except such consents, licenses and approvals as have already been obtained and that remain in full force and effect on the date hereof.

(f) No Litigation. There is no pending or, to its knowledge after due inquiry, threatened action or proceeding affecting such Seller or any of its Subsidiaries before any Official Body that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 4.2 shall affect the right of the Purchaser to bring any other action or proceeding against any of the Sellers or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.
4.3. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts thereof (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
