or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

 

(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Second Amendment, the Reaffirmation Agreement, the performance of the Loan Documents, as amended by this Second Amendment, and the use of the Tranche B Term Loans (i) will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).

SECTION 18. Continuing Effect of the Credit Agreement. This Second Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of or consent to any provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents not expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or consent to any action on the part of the Borrower that would require an amendment, waiver or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders except as expressly stated herein. Except as expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
