| 2 |
(b) Annex ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ A to the Existing Credit Agreement containing the Commitment Annex is hereby amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit B attached to and made a part of this Amendment.
(c) Certain Schedules. Schedules 3.4, 3.17, 3.19, 5.1, 5.14 and 9.2 to the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated as set forth on Exhibit C attached to and made a part of this Amendment, and shall be deemed to be given as of the date of this Amendment.
4. Confirmation of Representations and Warranties; Reaffirmation of Security Interest.
(a) Each Borrower, including, without limitation, each New Borrower, hereby confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with respect to such Borrower as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, and covenants to perform its respective obligations under the Credit Agreement. To induce Agent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to enter into this Agreement, Borrowers and Parent further represent and warrant that:
(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing as of the date hereof, which has not been waived in writing by the Agent;
(ii) as of the date hereof and, immediately after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, the representations and warranties of Borrowers contained in the Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects (or if any representation or warranty is qualified with respect to materiality, in all respects) on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of such date except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date; and
(iii) the execution, delivery and performance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Parent of this Amendment are within each of its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and this Amendment is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrowers and Parent enforceable against Borrowers and Parent in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, and neither the execution, delivery or performance by Borrowers and Parent of this Agreement (A) violates any Law, or any other rule or decree of any Governmental Authority, (B) conflicts with or results in the breach or termination of, constitutes a default under or accelerates any performance required by, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease, agreement or other instrument to which Borrowers or Parent is a party or by which Borrowers or Parent or any of its property is bound, except for such conflicts, breaches, terminations, defaults or accelerations that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (C) results in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Collateral, (D) violates or conflicts with the by-laws or other organizational documents of Borrowers and Parent, or (E) requires the consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration or filing with, any other Person, except for those already duly obtained.
(b) Each Borrower and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ confirms and agrees that all security interests and ▇▇▇▇▇ granted to Agent continue in full force and effect, and all Collateral remains free and clear of any Liens, other than those granted to Agent and Permitted Liens. Nothing herein is intended to impair or limit the validity, priority or extent of Agent’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Collateral secures repayment of the Obligations and the Affiliated Obligations, and in furtherance thereof, Borrowers and Parent hereby reaffirm the grant to Agent, for the benefit of itself and Lenders, of a continuing first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) on and security interest in all of the Collateral as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and for the payment and performance of all obligations under the Affiliated Financing Documents.
5. Enforceability. This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and Parent, and is enforceable against each Borrower and Parent in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

The unpaid amount of the Modification Fee as of the date hereof is $135,000,000. Furthermore, Borrowers shall be responsible for the payment of all reasonable costs and fees of Agent’s counsel incurred in connection with the preparation of this Amendment and any related documents. If Agent or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ uses in-house counsel for any of these purposes, Borrowers further agree that the Obligations include reasonable charges for such work commensurate with the fees that would otherwise be charged by outside legal counsel selected by Agent or such Lender for the work performed. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent to deduct all of such fees set forth in this Section 7 from the proceeds of one or more Revolving Loans made under the Credit Agreement.
