Representations and Warranties. To induce the Lenders to enter into this Consent, each of the Loan Parties represents and warrants that:







(a)    Organization; Power.

Both immediately before and after giving effect to this Consent, the representations and warranties of each Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement or in any other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality) as of such earlier date.

ARTICLE IV







MISCELLANEOUS







Effect of Consent.







(a)    On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Consent. This Consent is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.







(b)    The Credit Agreement, as specifically modified by this Consent, and each of the other Loan Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all of the respective Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, in each case as the Credit Agreement is modified by this Consent.







(c)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Consent shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.







Counterparts. This Consent may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Consent constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Consent shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to the other Loan Documents and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Consent by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Consent.







Section 4.3    Costs and Expenses. As provided in Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, Borrowers shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of this Consent and (b) the preparation, execution and delivery of any other documents, and the taking of any other actions, in connection with this Consent or the release of Liens and Guarantees described in Section 1.2 of this Consent.





















Section 4.4    Governing Law. This Consent shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof to the extent such principles would cause the application of the law of another state.







Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Consent and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Consent.
