been disclosed in writing to Lender; (iii) it is not and has no reason to believe it may be named as a party to any judicial or administrative proceeding, litigation or arbitration, and has not received any communication from any person or
entity (whether private or governmental) threatening or indicating the same; (iv) Except as otherwise set forth herein, Lender has made no separate oral or written waiver of any existing or future Default or Event of Default by Borrower under

(ii) exercised undue influence over Borrower or any of its officers, employees or directors, (iii) made any representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party on behalf of Borrower, (iv) entered into any joint venture,
agency relationship, employment relationship, or partnership with Borrower, (v) directed or instructed Borrower on the manner, method, amount, or identity of payee of any payment made to any creditor of Borrower, and further, Borrower warrants
and represents that by entering hereinto with Lender has not, are not and will not have engaged in any of the foregoing. 
 5. Intercreditor
Agreement. Borrower and Lender agree that Borrower’s indebtedness to Lender remains subject to the terms of that certain Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 6, 2008, by and between Borrower, Lender and

08, and the Amendment 08 may be enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. This Amendment 08 shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each party’s respective permitted successors and assigns. This Amendment 08 may
be executed in counterpart originals, all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same original document. No provision of any other document between Lender and Borrower shall limit the effectiveness hereof or the rights and
remedies hereunder of Lender against Borrower. 
 Except as amended hereby, the Loan Documents remain unmodified and unchanged and ratified by
Borrower as though fully set forth herein.
