Lender hereby consents to, acknowledges and approves the Requested Action such that it shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. The foregoing consent is also expressly limited to the Requested Action and shall not affect any breach of any Loan Documents related to any action not described in this Amendment. Upon receipt of the Borrower’s countersignature hereto and compliance with the terms and conditions of this Amendment, Withdrawing Borrower shall be released from all Obligations under the Loan Documents and Lender agrees to file UCC Termination Statements for all liens of record against Withdrawing Borrower.
