	 	(b)	would also be true if references to the Agreement were construed as references to the Agreement as amended by this letter. 

 Each Repeating Representation and each representation under the Campofrio Security Document is applied to the circumstances existing at the time the
Repeating Representation is made. 
  

	6.	Consents 

 Each Obligor and each Security Provider:

  

	 	(a)	agrees to the amendments and waiver of the Agreement as contemplated by this letter; and
