We refer to the Loan Agreement.

3 Representations and Warranties. The Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to the Lender that:

 

(a) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Agreement are true and correct on the date of this letter as if all references therein to “this Agreement” were references to the Loan Agreement as supplemented by this Letter; and

 

(b) this letter comprises the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

4 Amendment Fee. The approval and consent of the Lender to the arrangements set out in this Letter is subject to the payment by the Borrowers to the Lender on the date of this Letter of an a non-refundable arrangement fee of $30,000.

 

5 Notices. Clause 27 (Notices) of the Loan Agreement shall extend and apply to this letter as if the same was (mutatis mutandis) herein expressly set forth.

 

6 Law and Jurisdiction This letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law and Clause 29 (Law and Jurisdiction) of the Loan Agreement shall extend and apply to this letter as if the same were (mutatis mutandis) herein expressly set forth.
