(iv)      such documents and certifications as Agent may reasonably require to evidence that each Loan Party is duly organized or formed, and that each Loan Party is validly existing, in good standing (if such Loan Party is a corporation) and qualified to engage in business in each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(v)      a favorable opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties acceptable to Agent addressed to Agent and each Lender, as to the matters set forth concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan Documents in form and substance satisfactory to Agent;
(vi)      a certificate of a Responsible Officer of each Loan Party either (A) attaching copies of all consents, licenses and approvals required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Loan Party and the validity against such Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and such consents, licenses and approvals shall be in full force and effect, or (B) stating that no such consents, licenses or approvals are so required; and

(c)    Unless waived by Agent, Borrower has paid all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to Agent (directly to such counsel if requested by Agent) to the extent invoiced prior to or on the Closing Date, plus such additional amounts of such fees, charges and disbursements as shall constitute its reasonable estimate of such fees, charges and disbursements incurred or to be incurred by it through the closing proceedings (provided that such estimate shall not thereafter preclude a final settling of accounts between Borrower and Agent).
Section 5.  Miscellaneous.

5.1  This Amendment amends the Credit Agreement and accords with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.  This Amendment is a part of the Credit Agreement and will (unless otherwise expressly indicated in this Amendment) be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.

5.2  Neither the execution by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of this Amendment, nor any other act or omission by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their officers in connection with this Amendment, shall be deemed a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any defaults which may exist or which may occur in the future under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any future defaults of the same provision waived under this Amendment (collectively "Violations"). Similarly, nothing contained in this Amendment shall directly or indirectly in any way whatsoever either: (a) impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right at any time to exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with the Loan Documents with respect to any Violations; (b) except as expressly stated in this Amendment, amend or alter any provision of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other contract or instrument; or (c) constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of the Borrower or any right, privilege or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other contract or instrument. Nothing in this Amendment shall be construed to be a consent by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Violations.

5.3  Guarantor acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and reaffirms its obligations under the Guaranty.  Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranty remains in full force and effect, without defense, offset, or counterclaim, and that the Guaranty applies to the Obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.  Although Guarantor has been informed of the terms of this Amendment, Guarantor understands and agrees that Agent and Lenders have no duty to so notify Guarantor or to seek from Guarantor this or any future acknowledgment, consent or reaffirmation, and nothing contained in this Amendment shall create or imply any such duty as to any transactions, past or future.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
