3. Amendment to Section 6.2.  Section 6.2 is amended by deleting the word “and” at the end of clause (dd) thereof, deleting the period at the end of clause (ee) thereof and replacing it with a “; and” and by adding a new clause (ff) as follows:

5. Representations and Warranties.  The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to this Amendment, (a) all representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as if made again on and as of such date (except for those which by their terms specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (c) the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Amendment) and all other Credit Documents are and remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Credit Parties in accordance with the terms thereof except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

6.

7.

11. Limited Effect.  This Amendment relates only to the specific matters expressly covered herein, shall not be considered to be a waiver of any rights or remedies any Lender or Agent may have under the Credit Agreement or under any other Credit Document, and shall not be considered to create a course of dealing or to otherwise obligate in any respect any Lender or Agent to execute similar or other consents under the same or similar or other circumstances in the future.

12. Ratification by Guarantors.  Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that its consent to this Amendment is not required, but each of the undersigned nevertheless does hereby agree and consent to this Amendment and to the documents and agreements referred to herein.  Each of the Guarantors agrees and acknowledges that (a) notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, such Guarantor’s Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect without modification thereto and (b) nothing herein shall in any way limit any of the terms or provisions of such Guarantor’s Guaranty or any other Credit Document executed by such Guarantor (as the same may be amended from time to time), all of which are hereby ratified, confirmed and affirmed in all respects.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other agreement, instrument, consent or document shall be required to give effect to this Section 12.  Each of the Guarantors hereby further acknowledges that Company, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any Lender may from time to time enter into any further amendments, modifications, terminations and/or waivers of any provision of the Credit Documents without notice to or consent from such Guarantor and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such Guarantor’s Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of such Guarantor’s Guaranty.
