C. In connection with the Monterey Transactions, the Borrower has requested that Monterey be released from its obligations as a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Security Agreement and that certain amendments to the Credit Agreement be made as set forth herein. The Lenders are willing to release Monterey and to amend the Credit Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(b) Effective upon the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date (as defined below), the Lenders and the Collateral Agent hereby release Monterey from all of its obligations as a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the Security Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which it is a party.
