4. | In consideration of the Lenders agreeing to the amendments set out in this Third Amendment Agreement, the Borrower and the other Obligors each hereby: |

II. | Miscellaneous Provisions. |
1. | In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Third Amendment Agreement, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (i) no Default or Event of Default exists as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined herein) after giving effect to this Third Amendment Agreement and (ii) all of the representations and warranties contained in the Facility Agreement and the other Finance Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the Third Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to this Third Amendment Agreement, with the same effect as though such representation and warranties had been made on and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (it being understood that any representation or warranty that by its terms is made as of a specific date shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date). |
2. | This Third Amendment Agreement is limited precisely as written and shall not be deemed to (i) be a waiver of or a consent to the modification of or deviation from any other term or condition of the Facility Agreement and the other Finance Documents or any of the other instruments or agreements referred to therein except as set forth herein or (ii) prejudice any right or rights which any of the Lenders or the Facility Agent now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Facility Agreement, as amended hereby, the other Finance Documents or any of the other instruments or agreements referred to therein. The Facility Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve all their rights and remedies except as expressly set forth in this Third Amendment Agreement. |
3. | This Third Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Facility Agent. |
4. | THIS THIRD AMENDMENT AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. |

6. | From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, all references in the Facility Agreement and each of the other Finance Documents to the Facility Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Facility Agreement, as modified hereby. From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, this Third Amendment Agreement shall for all purposes constitute a Finance Document. |
7. | By executing this Third Amendment Agreement, the Obligors hereby confirm their agreement to the change to the Facility Agreement set out herein and affirm all its obligations and liabilities contained in the Finance Documents to which each is a party and confirm that all such Finance Documents continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the amendments set out in this Third Amendment Agreement. |
