1.3 Each of Body Shop and CV hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for the all the Obligations under the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Agreement to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if each of Body Shop and CV had originally been a Borrower under the Financing Agreement and had originally executed the same as a Borrower.

2.1 Parent, pursuant to the Financing Agreement, is liable for all of the obligations as the Borrower under the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Document. From and after the date hereof, Administrative Agent, each Lender, Parent and each other Loan Party hereby agree that Parent shall hereafter be a Guarantor, and not the Borrower, and bound solely as a Guarantor under the terms of the Financing Agreement and each other Loan Document, as if it had been an original signatory as a Guarantor under such Loan Documents.

2.4 Each of Parent and Rinzi hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for the all the Guaranteed Obligations under the Financing Agreement to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if Parent and Rinzi had originally been a Guarantor under the Financing Agreement and had originally executed the same as such a Guarantor.
3. Reaffirmation. Each Loan Party, as debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other similar capacities in which such Person grants liens or security interests in its properties or otherwise acts as an accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, in any case under the Existing Loan Documents, hereby ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment, performance and observance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each Existing Loan Document and, to the extent such Person granted liens on or security interests in any of its properties pursuant to any such Existing Loan Document as security for the Borrower’s obligations under or with respect to the Financing Agreement, or its own obligations arising under any Existing Loan Document, hereby ratifies and reaffirms such grant of liens and security interests and confirms and agrees that such liens and security interests hereafter secure all of the Obligations, including, without limitation, all additional Obligations resulting from the Financing Agreement, in each case as if each reference in such Existing Loan Documents to the obligations secured thereby are construed to hereafter mean and refer to such Obligations after giving effect to the Financing Agreement. Each of the Loan Parties hereby consents to the terms and conditions of the Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, all additional Obligations resulting from the Financing Agreement), subject to the limitations, if any, set forth therein. Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that each of the Existing Loan Documents remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

4. Representations and Warranties.
