7.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Except as expressly set forth herein, this Ninth Amendment Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers, the Swing Line Lender, the Dutch Swing Line Lender or the Lenders 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 Loan Document, all of which, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified hereby, are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. This Ninth Amendment Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that this Ninth Amendment Agreement constitutes an amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, in each case, made under and in accordance with the terms of Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(b)    Each Guarantor party hereto (i) hereby acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Ninth Amendment Agreement, (ii) affirms all of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) agrees that this Ninth Amendment Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c)    The Borrowers and the Guarantors party hereto hereby represent and warrant as follows:

(i)    Each of the Loan Parties has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Ninth Amendment Agreement.

(ii)    This Ninth Amendment Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and constitutes each of the Loan Parties’ legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (A) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(iii)    No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or governmental authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Ninth Amendment Agreement, other than (A) those that have already been obtained and are in full force and effect, (B) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents, (C) those approvals, consents,

exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices or filings described in the Collateral Documents and (D) those approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices or filings, to the extent that the failure to obtain the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)    The Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Lenders that (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof with the same effect as if made on and as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, if any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, it shall be true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

(e)    This Ninth Amendment Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Ninth Amendment Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as an original and shall constitute a representation that an executed original shall be delivered.

(f)    THIS Ninth Amendment AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The provisions of Section 11.14(b) of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and shall apply to this Ninth Amendment Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby mutatis mutandis.
