13.5 The Administrative Agent shall have received the other items set forth on the closing checklist attached hereto as Attachment A; and

13.6 There shall not have occurred and be continuing any Default.

14. Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent as of the date of this Amendment that: (i) no Default is in existence or will result from the execution and delivery of this Amendment or the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) each of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers and the Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents is true and correct in all material respects on the effective date of this Amendment (except for representations and warranties limited as to time or with respect to a specific event, which representations and warranties shall continue to be limited to such time or event) and (iii) this Amendment, the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and the other Loan Documents are legal, valid and binding agreements of the Borrowers and the Guarantor and are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms.

15. Ratification. Except as hereby amended, the Credit Agreement, all other Loan Documents and each provision thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall continue in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any Default or of any covenant, term or provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing ratification, by executing this Amendment in the space provided below, the Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally (i) reaffirms its obligations under the Guaranty, and (ii) absolutely and unconditionally consents to (a) the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of this Amendment, (b) the continued implementation and consummation of arrangements and transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents, and (c) the performance and observance by each Borrower and the Guarantor of all of its respective agreements, covenants, duties and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents.

16. Usury Savings Clause. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and all Lenders at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits a Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve, or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section shall control every other covenant and agreement in this Amendment and the other Loan Documents. If applicable state or federal law should at any time be judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Notes or under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to the Loan, or if the Administrative Agent’s exercise of the option to accelerate the Maturity Date, or if any prepayment by the Borrowers results in the Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Notes and all other indebtedness and the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new documents, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder or thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

17. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures on each counterpart were upon the same instrument.

18. Amendment as Loan Document. Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.

19. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES); PROVIDED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS ARISING UNDER FEDERAL LAW.

20. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

21. Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

22. Expenses. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside legal counsel, it has heretofore incurred or hereafter incurs in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and all other instruments, documents and agreements executed and delivered in connection with this Amendment.

23. Integration. This Amendment contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter contained herein. This Amendment supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements and representations of every nature whatsoever with respect to the matters referred to in this Amendment, all of which have become merged and finally integrated into this Amendment. Each of the parties hereto understands that in the event of any subsequent litigation, controversy or dispute concerning any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Amendment, no party shall be entitled to offer or introduce into evidence any oral promises or oral agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Amendment not included or referred to herein and not reflected by a writing included or referred to herein.

24. Further Assurances. The parties hereto shall execute such other documents as may be necessary or as may be required, in the opinion of counsel to the Administrative Agent, to effect the transactions contemplated hereby and to extend the liens and/or security interests of all other collateral instruments, as modified by this Amendment, including, without limitation, any modifications to, or re-filing of any financing statements previously filed by the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers also agree to provide to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, such other documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent reasonably may request in connection with the modification of the Loan effected hereby.

25. No Course of Dealing. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders have entered into this Amendment on the express understanding with each Borrower and the Guarantor that in entering into this Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are not establishing any course of dealing with the Borrowers or the Guarantor. The Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to require strict performance with all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any way be impaired by the execution of this Amendment. None of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be obligated in any manner to execute any further amendments or waivers and if such waivers or amendments are requested in the future, assuming the terms and conditions thereof are satisfactory to them, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may require the payment of fees in connection therewith. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantor agrees that none of the ratifications and reaffirmations set forth herein, nor the Administrative Agent’s nor any Lender’s solicitation of such ratifications and reaffirmations, constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or any other ratification or reaffirmation from the Borrowers or the Guarantor with respect to any subsequent modification, consent or waiver with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

26. Jury Trial Waiver. THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AMENDMENT MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
