The cost and expense of taking Vehicle Perfection Actions shall be borne in each instance solely by the Grantors.
3.5 Amendment to Schedules; Guarantee and Collateral Agreement References.

Each reference in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement to a Schedule or its contents (whether a Schedule to the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the Perfection Certificate) as of the Effective Date is hereby amended to be a reference to such Schedule or its contents as of the First Amendment Effective Date.

Section 5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 Increase of Committed Amount Pursuant to Section 2.05. Pursuant to Section 2.05, the Borrower has previously delivered to the Administrative Agent a Committed Amount Change Certificate requesting that the aggregate Committed Amount be increased to $500,000,000.

17
without any further action (including, without the execution of any Assignment and Assumption or any other documentation or the payment of any processing and recordation fee to the Administrative Agent), become the Commitment specified for such Lender on the attached Schedule 2.01 to the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of the Committed Amount increase described by this Section 5.1 and in respect of the Davison Acquisition, each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Borrower Parties hereby waives noncompliance with all timing requirements for notices to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.05 or the definition of Permitted Acquisition (but not delivery of the notices themselves, which shall be delivered prior to or on the First Amendment Effective Date). Except as expressly waived pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of Section 2.05 and the definition of Permitted Acquisition shall otherwise apply.
5.2 Confirmation. The provisions of the Loan Documents, as amended by this First Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the effectiveness of this First Amendment.
5.3 Ratification and Affirmation; Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower Party hereby (a) ratifies and affirms its obligations under, and acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under, each Loan Document to which it is a party and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party remains in full force and effect, except as expressly amended hereby, notwithstanding the amendments contained herein and (b) represents and warrants to the Lenders that as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the terms of this First Amendment: (i) all of the representations and warranties contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified earlier date as supplemented or subject to such qualifications as are set forth in the applicable Schedule(s) as of the Effective Date (provided, that with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.14, 3.18(a) and 3.20 that are expressly limited to the Effective Date, such representations and warranties are true and correct as of the First Amendment Effective Date without giving effect to such limitation as supplemented or subject to such qualifications as are set forth in the applicable Schedule(s) as of the First Amendment Effective Date) and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing.
5.4 Borrower Parties. All references to the Borrower Parties and Subsidiaries in this First Amendment shall be deemed to be references to the Borrower Parties and Subsidiaries immediately after consummation of the Davison Acquisition. In furtherance of this and for the avoidance of doubt, each reference to the Borrower Parties and the Subsidiaries in this First Amendment shall be deemed to include each Additional Guarantor and each reference to the Subsidiaries shall also be deemed to include each First Amendment Unrestricted Subsidiary, each reference to the Additional Guarantors shall be deemed to include each Acquired Company, and each reference to any assets of any Borrower Party shall be deemed to include any assets acquired by such Borrower Party in connection with the Davison Acquisition or the Port Hudson Acquisition. As of the First Amendment Effective Date, each Additional Guarantor shall be a Borrower Party and Subsidiary as defined in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower represents that (i) each Additional Guarantor is a Restricted Subsidiary as of the First
18
Amendment Effective Date and (ii) after giving effect to the Davison Acquisition, the Subject Assets will be owned by Additional Guarantors or First Amendment Foreign Subsidiaries.
5.5 Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries. Pursuant to the requirements set forth in the definition of Unrestricted Subsidiary in the Credit Agreement, the Borrower hereby designates the First Amendment Unrestricted Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, each of which shall become a Subsidiary on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date. The Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof that none of the First Amendment Unrestricted Subsidiaries (a) has acquired any assets from the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (b) has any Indebtedness, Guarantee obligations or other obligations other than Non-Recourse Obligations, except as expressly permitted pursuant to Sections 5.13(c) and 6.04(g).
5.6 Credit Document. This First Amendment and each agreement, instrument, certificate or document executed by the Borrower Parties or any of their respective officers in connection therewith are Loan Documents as defined and described in the Credit Agreement and all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents relating to other Loan Documents shall apply hereto and thereto.
5.7 Security Document. The Assumption Agreement, Mortgages, Control Agreements, Perfection Certificate, and all other agreements, documents, instruments or certificates executed by the General Partner or any Borrower Party or any of their respective officers in connection with securing the Obligations under the Loan Documents which are delivered pursuant to Section 4 of this First Amendment (including those delivered pursuant to Schedule 5.14) are Security Documents as defined and described in the Credit Agreement and all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents applying to Security Documents shall apply thereto.
5.8 Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of this First Amendment by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
5.9 NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS FIRST AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND THEREWITH REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
5.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS FIRST AMENDMENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE VALIDITY AND ENFORCEABILITY HEREOF) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
