3.                                      Representations and Warranties.  The Successor Company represents and warrants to each of the Lenders that as of the Effective Date:

a)                  the execution, delivery and performance by the Successor Company of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party are within the Successor Company’s organizational powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and will not (i) violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of the Successor Company in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of the Successor Company’s properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation;

2

b)                  this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Successor Company, enforceable against the Successor Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium 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); and

c)                   after giving effect to the Merger and this Agreement, to the extent required to be Collateral pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Credit Agreement, the Collateral owned by the Successor Company will (a) continue to constitute Collateral under the Security Documents and (b) be subject to a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent.

Each other Loan Party hereby confirms that each Loan Document to which it is a party and all of its Collateral encumbered thereby will continue to guarantee or secure, as the case may be, as and to the extent provided therein, the payment and performance of all “Obligations” under each of the Loan Documents to which is a party (in each case as such terms are defined in the applicable Loan Document).  This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the Effective Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Agreement.
