(b) the words “, and (ii) confirming the calculations set forth in the officer’s certificate delivered simultaneously therewith pursuant to clause (d) above” appearing at the end thereof.

 

SECTION 2.                                Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective when, and only when, and as of the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (a) the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Required Banks or, as to any of the Required Banks, advice satisfactory to the Agent that such Bank Party has executed this Amendment, (b) the Agent shall have received payment of all accrued fees and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable and accrued fees of counsel to the Agent invoiced on or prior to the date hereof), (c) the Agent shall have received a favorable opinion of the Counsel of the Borrower regarding the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Amendment and other matters reasonably requested by the Agent and (d) the Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower dated the Effective Date, to the effect that, after giving effect to this Amendment: (i) the representations and warranties contained in each of the Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date as though made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

This Amendment is subject to the provisions of Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.                                Representations and Warranties. The Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

 

(a)                                  The representations and warranties contained in each of the Financing Documents, after giving effect to this Amendment, are correct in all material respects on and as of the date of this Amendment, as though made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).

(b)                                 The Credit Agreement, the Notes and each of the other Financing Documents, as specifically modified by this Amendment, are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.

(c)                                  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Banks, nor constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

 

SECTION 5.                                Affirmation of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby consents to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected hereby, and hereby confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor contained in Article IX of the Credit Agreement or in any other Financing Documents to which it is a party are, and shall remain, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that, on and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in Article IX of the Credit Agreement and in each of the other Financing Documents to “the Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as modified by this Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party and all of the Collateral described therein do, and shall continue to secure, payment of all of the Secured Obligations (in each case, as defined therein).

 

SECTION 6.                                GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
