violate any order, writ, judgment or decree to which JBSI or any JBSI

Material Contracts listed in items B. 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 19 of

default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the
performance required by, or result in the creation of any lien,
security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or
assets of JBSI or any JBSI Subsidiary under any of the terms,

other agreement or other instrument or obligation to which JBSI or any
JBSI Subsidiary is bound or by which JBSI or any JBSI Subsidiary or any
of its properties or assets may be bound except, in the case of this
clause (c), where such conflict, violation, default, termination,
cancellation or acceleration would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on JBSI.

remains in full force and effect.
