(b)  The representations and warranties of each Loan Party set forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date;  provided that (i) to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, they are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date and (ii) any representation and warranty that is qualified by “materiality”,  “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language is true and correct in all respects on and as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date or as of such earlier date, as the case may be;  provided,  further, that, for purposes of this clause (b), the term “Effective Date” set forth in Section 3.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

(b)  The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate, dated the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and signed on behalf of Holdings and the Borrower by a Responsible Officer thereof, confirming the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2 hereof as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.
