(a) After giving effect to this Amendment, each of the representations and warranties of such Person contained in the Loan Agreement and in the other Loan 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, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date and except for changes therein expressly permitted by the Loan Agreement.


(b) After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof and as of the Effective Date.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by such Person of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of such Person and will not violate any of its Constituent Documents.

Section 4. Affirmation of Guaranties.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby consents to the consummation, execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the extension of the Termination Date as provided herein, and hereby acknowledges and agrees that on and after the Effective Date, all of its obligations under the applicable Loan Documents are reaffirmed and will remain and continue in full force and effect.

(b) As of the Effective Date, each Guarantor reaffirms the Guaranties granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as applicable, under the applicable Loan Documents, which Guaranties shall continue in full force and effect during the term of the Loan Agreement as extended by this Amendment and any amendments, amendments and restatements, renewals or extensions or other modifications thereof and shall continue to secure the Obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
