     2.1. It is anticipated that, following the Rexair Sale described above and the application of the net proceeds thereof, all Obligations under the Term Loan B will be repaid in full. If, and only if, the Term Loan B Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders receive payment in full in cash of all outstanding Obligations owing to them from the net proceeds of the Rexair Sale (including, without limitation, any prepayment fees payable to the Term Loan B Lenders), then, upon such receipt of payment, the Term Loan B Agent and the Term Loan B Lenders shall no longer have any rights or obligations under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to such provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents that expressly survive the payment in full of the Obligations and/or the termination of the Loan Agreement.

     2.2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection 3.4.2 of the Credit Agreement, if any Net Asset Sale Proceeds from the Rexair Sale described above remain after application to repay the Term Loan B in full and to pay down to $0 the then outstanding Swing Line Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans, such remaining Net Asset Sale Proceeds shall not be applied to cash collateralize any then issued and outstanding Letters of Credit, Acceptance and LC Guaranties so long as the amount of the Borrowing Base at the time of such application exceeds the LC and Acceptance Amount.

     2.3. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents (including without limitation, the Guaranty Agreement), upon the consummation of the Rexair Sale, each of Rexair and Rexair Holdings shall be released and discharged from any and all liability it may incur or have incurred for the performance of any obligations of any Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

3. Representations and Warranties.

     3.1. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the Rexair Sale have been or will be duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other relevant action and do not and will not (i) contravene the charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association, partnership agreement, certificate of formation, by-laws, limited liability agreement, operating agreement or other organizational documents (as the case may be) of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) violate, or cause any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to be in default under, any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award in effect having applicability to any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement, including, without limitation, the New Senior Secured Notes Indenture, or any other agreement, lease or instrument to which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its Properties may be bound or affected, the breach of or default under which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (iv) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon or with respect to any of the Properties now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

     3.2. This Amendment is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party hereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its respective

     5.2.
