This Amendment shall have been duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Lenders, which constitute the “Majority Lenders” as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement;

(b)

Each of the representations and warranties in Section 6 of this Amendment, Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects (unless such representations are already qualified by reference to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all respects on and as of such earlier date; and

(c)

At the time of and after giving effect to this Amendment, no fact or condition exists that constitutes, or with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a Default or Event of Default.

This Amendment and the other Amendment Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action including, if required, approval by all necessary holders of Equity Interests, and duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each of the Amendment Documents when executed and delivered by the Borrower will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and (ii) the application of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6.

Release.

(a)

In consideration of this Amendment and agreements of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower (the “Releasing Party”), on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns and other legal representatives hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives, in each case solely in their capacities relative to the Lenders and not in any other capacity such party may have relative to the Releasing Party (the Administrative Agent, each Lender and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which the Borrower or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the date hereof, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder (any of the foregoing, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”). The Releasing Party expressly acknowledges and agrees, with respect to the Claims, that it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or any principle of U.S. common law, that would otherwise limit a release or discharge of any unknown Claims pursuant to this Section 7.
