acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended as of the date hereof), the Borrowers’ Agent has designated the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to be the successor and replacement facility of Company and that the Collateral Agent consented to and acknowledged the termination of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement by the Administrative Agent.

 

Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, after giving effect to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all of its respective obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents to which it is a party (including, without limitation, under the Domestic Borrowers’ Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, in each case to the extent such Guarantor is party thereto), as such obligations and liabilities have been amended by the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to the incurrence of the Tranche A Term Facility, the Tranche B Term Facility, the Tranche C Term Facility, the Tranche D Facility, the Dollar Revolving Facility, the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, the Domestic Overdraft Agreement and each Offshore Overdraft Agreement) and this Reaffirmation, together with all of its obligations with respect to the Other Lender Guarantied Obligations (including, as of the Closing Date, those specified on Exhibit B of the Intercreditor Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended as of the date hereof)), are in each case reaffirmed, and remain in full force and effect.

 

After giving effect to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, each Guarantor party hereto reaffirms each Lien granted by it to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (including, without limitation, under the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, to the extent such Guarantor is party thereto), which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and shall continue to secure the Obligations (after giving effect to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and including, without limitation, under and with respect to the Tranche A Term Facility, the Tranche B Term Facility, the Tranche C Term Facility, the Tranche D Facility, the Dollar Revolving Facility, the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, the Domestic Overdraft Agreement and each Offshore Overdraft Agreement), together with all of its obligations with respect to the Other Lender Guarantied Obligations (including, as of the Closing Date, those specified on Exhibit B of the Intercreditor Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as amended as of the date hereof)), in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended by the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Nothing in this Reaffirmation shall create or otherwise give rise to any right to consent on the part of the Guarantors party hereto to the extent not required by the express terms of the Loan Documents.

 

This Reaffirmation shall not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or discharge or release or alter the priority of any Loan Document (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) or any other guarantee or security therefor.  Nothing herein shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or any Lien securing the same, and it is the intent of the parties hereto to confirm that all obligations of each Guarantor under the Loan Documents to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect, except to the extent modified hereby, by the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement or by instruments executed concurrently herewith.
