RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of September 9, 2010 (as amended or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Consent.

This consent is limited solely to the Foreign License, and nothing contained in this Section 1 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or under applicable law.

(b) Amend, modify or change (or permit the amendment, modification or change of) any of the terms or provisions of the Foreign License Agreement in a manner adverse to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders.
3. Conditions Precedent. This Agreement shall be effective upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:

(b) Each Guarantor (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents as modified hereby and (c) agrees that this Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

 


 

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby represent and warrant as follows:
(i) Each Loan Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
(ii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and constitutes each of the Loan Parties’ legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
