6.    Representations of Credit Parties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

(a)    Each Credit Party (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Credit Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction where necessary to carry out its business and operations, except in jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, and could not be reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(c)    The execution, delivery, and performance by the Credit Parties of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not and will not: (i) violate in any material respect any provision of any Applicable Laws relating to any Credit Party, any of the Organizational Documents of any Credit Party, or any order, judgment, or decree of any court or other agency of government binding on any Credit Party; or (ii) require, as a condition to the effectiveness thereof, any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority except for (A) those consents, approvals, notices or other actions, the failure of which to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (B) other filings, recordings or consents which have been obtained or made, as applicable.

(d)    After giving effect to this Agreement, those representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.15 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all respects as of the Effective Date.

(e)    The parties executing this Agreement as Guarantors include each Subsidiary of any Credit Party that is required pursuant to Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement to become a Credit Party as of the date hereof.

7.    Release. Each Credit Party hereby releases and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, and their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, attorneys, and Related Parties (each and every of the foregoing, a “Lender Party”) from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, in each case to the extent arising in connection with any of the Credit Documents through the Effective Date, whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which any Credit Party may have or claim to have against any Lender Party.

8.    No Actions, Claims. Each Credit Party represents, warrants, acknowledges, and confirms that, as of the date hereof, it has no knowledge of any action, cause of action, claim, demand, damage, or liability of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, it has against any Lender Party arising from any action by such Persons, or failure of such Persons to act, under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents.

9.    Continuing Effectiveness of Agreement. Except as specifically modified herein, the terms of the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The execution, delivery, and

 

11


effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power, or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or the Lenders under the Credit Documents, or constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Credit Documents, except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement shall constitute a Credit Document.

10.    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and the obligations hereof shall be binding upon the Credit Parties. No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits under this Agreement, other than any non-party Lender Party with respect to Section 7 and Section 8 hereof.

11.    Entirety. This Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the other Credit Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement, the Credit Agreement, and the other Credit Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.

12.    Counterparts/Telecopy. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of executed counterparts of this Agreement by telecopy or other secure electronic format (.pdf) shall be effective as an original.

13.    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The governing law, submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue, service of process, and waiver of jury trial provisions contained in Sections 11.13 and 11.14 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis.

14.    Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver, or to cause to be executed and delivered, all such instruments as may reasonably be requested to effectuate the intent and purposes, and to carry out the terms, of this Agreement.

15.    Miscellaneous. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with, or is inconsistent with, any provision in any Credit Document, then the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.
