performance of all "Obligations," "Guarantied Obligations" and
"Secured Obligations," as the case may be (in each case as
such terms are defined in the applicable Collateral Document),
including without limitation the payment and performance of
all such "Obligations," "Guarantied Obligations" or "Secured
Obligations," as the case may be, in respect of the
Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under or
in respect of the Amended Agreement and the Notes.
Each Credit Support Party acknowledges and agrees
that any of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party or
otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect and
that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and
enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the
execution or effectiveness of this Amendment. Each Credit
Support Party represents and warrants that all representations
and warranties contained in the Amended Agreement and the
Collateral Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound
are true, correct and complete in all material respects on and
as of the Second Amendment Effective Date to the same extent
as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent
such representations and warranties specifically relate to an
earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and
complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier
date.
Each Credit Support Party (other than the Borrower)
acknowledges and agrees that (i) notwithstanding the
conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment, such
Credit Support Party is not required by the terms of the
Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to consent to the
amendments to the Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this
Amendment and (ii) nothing in the Credit Agreement, this
Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to
