SECTION 2. Amendments. (a) On the Effective Date (as defined below), the Definitions Annex referred to in Section 1.02 of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended and restated in the form of the Definitions Annex attached as Exhibit A to this Amendment.
SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties. To induce the other parties hereto to enter into this Amendment, the Borrower represents to each of the Secured Parties, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Instructing Group:
(a) after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Senior Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof with the same effect as if made on the Effective Date, except for such representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date (which representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).
(b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Senior Credit Agreement; and
(c) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
SECTION 4. Effectiveness.

SECTION 5. Effect of the Amendment. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, amend or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of, the Secured Parties, the Senior Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Instructing Group under the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement or any other Senior Loan Document or Second Priority Debt Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement or any other Senior Loan Document or Second Priority Debt Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement or any other Senior Loan Document or Second Priority Debt Document in similar or different circumstances. This Amendment shall apply to and be effective only with respect to the matters expressly referred to herein.

Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.
