4.                                       Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers.

 

Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lenders and the Agent (both before and after giving effect to this Third Amendment) that:

 

a.                                       Each of the Borrowers has the corporate power and authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and perform this Third Amendment.

 

b.                                      Each of the Borrowers has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Third Amendment.

 

c.                                       No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by, or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with this Third Amendment or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Third Amendment, or the performance, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement except consents, authorizations, filings and notices which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.

 

d.                                      This Third Amendment has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrowers.  This Third Amendment and the Credit Agreement as amended and supplemented thereby constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers and are enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with their terms except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

e.                                       Subject to the effectiveness of the waivers in Section 2 hereof, and the amendments in Section 3 hereof, neither an Event of Default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, nor any event which with the lapse of time or notice or both could become an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.

 

3

 

f.                                         Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Borrower of the Third Amendment nor the consummation of any transactions contemplated therein will conflict with, violate, constitute a breach of or a default (with the passage of time or otherwise) under, require the consent of any Person (other than consents already obtained and in full force and effect) under, or result in the imposition of (or the obligation to create) a Lien on any assets of any Borrower (except for existing Liens pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and the Senior Note Documents) under or pursuant to the Organizational Documents of such Borrower, any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, law (including, without limitation, common law) or ordinance, or any judgment, decree, rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority application to such Borrower or any of its properties or any Applicable Agreement, except for such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, lack of any consents or imposition of Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Entry by the Borrowers into and performance by the Borrowers of the Third Amendment will not result in a default under any Senior Note Document.

 

g.                                      Each of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement is true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, except (i) any such representations and warranties which explicitly relate to an earlier date, which such representations and warranties were true and correct as of such date in all material respects and (ii) as disclosed in any filings by Parent with the Commission or any reports delivered by the Parent pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Credit Agreement.
