(a)          The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment (i) have been duly authorized by each Company, (ii) are not in contravention of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, certificate of formation or operating agreement of any Company or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Company is a party or by which any Company is bound and (iii) are within each Company’s powers.

(c)          The representations and warranties of each Company contained in the Note Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements are and will be true, correct and complete 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 that such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case they were true, correct and complete as of such earlier date.
