5.             Release.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that:  (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Loan Parties and their Affiliates under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are required to have been performed on or prior to the date hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders wish (and the Loan Parties agree) to eliminate any possibility that any past conditions, acts, omissions, events or circumstances would impair or otherwise adversely affect any of the Agents' and the Lenders' rights, interests, security and/or remedies under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Accordingly, for and in consideration of the agreements contained in this Fifth Amendment and other good and valuable consideration, each Loan Party (for itself and its Affiliates and the successors, assigns, heirs and representatives of each of the foregoing) (collectively, the "Releasors") does hereby fully, finally, unconditionally and irrevocably release and forever discharge each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents (collectively, the "Released Parties") from any and all debts, claims, obligations, damages, costs, attorneys' fees, suits, demands, liabilities, actions, proceedings and causes of action, in each case, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, direct or indirect, and of whatever nature or description, and whether in law or in equity, under contract, tort, statute or otherwise, which any Releasor has heretofore had or now or hereafter can, shall or may have against any Released Party by reason of any act, omission or thing whatsoever done or omitted to be done on or prior to the Fifth Amendment Effective Date directly arising out of, connected with or related to this Fifth Amendment, the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, or the agreements of any Agent or any Lender contained therein, or the possession, use, operation or control of any of the assets of any Loan Party, or the making of any Loans or other advances, or the management of such Loans or advances or the Collateral.


 


6.             Reaffirmation.  The Borrower hereby confirms its grant of a security interest and other obligations under and subject to the terms of the Security Agreement, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Fifth Amendment or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, such grant of security interest and other obligations are not impaired or adversely affected in any manner whatsoever and shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall continue to secure all the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), as amended, increased and/or extended pursuant to this Fifth Amendment.







7.             Miscellaneous.







(a)            Continued Effectiveness of the Financing Agreement and the Other Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Fifth Amendment Effective Date (i) all references in the Financing Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereto", "hereof", "hereunder" or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Fifth Amendment, and (ii) all references in the other Loan Documents to the "Financing Agreement", "thereto", "thereof", "thereunder" or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Fifth Amendment.  To the extent that the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document purports to pledge to the Collateral Agent, or to grant to the Collateral Agent, a security interest or lien, such pledge or grant is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.  Except as expressly provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Fifth Amendment shall not operate as an amendment of any right, power or remedy of the Agents and the Lenders under the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute an amendment of any provision of the Financing Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)           Counterparts.  This Fifth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Fifth Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Fifth Amendment.







(c)            Headings.  Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Fifth Amendment for any other purpose.







(d)           Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all fees, costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Fifth Amendment.







(e)            Fifth Amendment as Loan Document.  Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Fifth Amendment constitutes a "Loan Document" under the Financing Agreement.  Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement if (i) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party under or in connection with this Fifth Amendment, which representation or warranty is (A) subject to a materiality or a Material Adverse Effect qualification, shall have been incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made, or (B) not subject to a materiality or a Material Adverse Effect qualification, shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or (ii) any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Fifth Amendment.







(f)            Severability.   Any provision of this Fifth Amendment that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.







(g)            Governing Law.  This Fifth Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.







(h)           Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.
