(b) Compliance with Laws, etc. The execution and delivery by the Borrowers of this First Amendment and the performance by the Borrowers of this First Amendment and the Credit Agreement, as amended by this First Amendment, in accordance with their respective terms, does not and will not, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (i) require any approval (other than those already obtained) by any Governmental Authority or violate any law (including any Environmental Law) which is applicable to a Borrower or any Consolidated Party, the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein or therein; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of any Borrower or any Consolidated Party, or any indenture, agreement/or other instrument to which any Borrower or any Consolidated Party is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Borrower or any other Consolidated Party other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders; and
(c) No Default. After giving effect to this First Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.
4. Reaffirmation of Representations. Each Borrower hereby repeats and reaffirms all representations and warranties made by such party to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party on and as of the date hereof (other than any representation or warranty which specifically refers to an earlier date and after giving effect to any amendments or updates made to Schedule 1.01(a), 5.06, 5.09, 5.13(a) and/or 5.13(b)) with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties were set forth in this First Amendment in full except that (a) the representation set forth in subsection (c) of Section 5.05 is made with reference to the financial statements most recently delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 (a), and (b) the representations and warranties contained in subsections (d) and (f) of Section 5.05 are qualified to the extent the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(b) are without footnotes and subject to normal year end adjustments.

6. Certain References. Each reference to the Credit Agreement in any of the Loan Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this First Amendment and this First Amendment shall be deemed a Loan Document for purposes of the application of provisions of the Credit Agreement generally
applicable thereto (including, without limitation, any arbitration provisions or waiver provisions).
7. Successors and Assigns. This First Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement.
8. Default. The failure of the Borrowers to perform any of their respective obligations under this First Amendment or the material falsity of any representation or warranty made herein shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders (as determined in accordance with the Credit Agreement) after expiration of any applicable cure period, constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents.
9. No Novation. The parties hereto intend this First Amendment to evidence the amendments to the terms of the existing indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders as specifically set forth herein and do not intend for such amendments to constitute a novation in any manner whatsoever.
