    Section 2    Representations and Warranties, No Default. Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders as of the date hereof and as of the date of effectiveness of this Amendment:
 
    (a)   This Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms.
 
    (b)   The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Amendment will not (a) violate any Requirements of Law, (b) result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of any Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries, pursuant to the terms of any material indenture, loan agreement, lease agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other material instrument to which such Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or (c) violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational documents of such Loan Party or any of the Subsidiaries.
    

    (c)   The representations and warranties made by any Loan Party set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof and as of the date of effectiveness of this Amendment with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date.
 
    (d)   At the time of and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

    Section 4    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or electronic “.pdf” file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
 
    Section 5    Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

    Section 7    Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the other Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other provision of either such agreement or any other Loan Document. Each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

This Amendment shall be a Loan Document for all purposes.
