Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders on the conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall Agent
17
have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, (e) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (f) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.”
(nn) Section 15 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 15.18 immediately following Section 15.17:
“15.18 Parallel Debt. With respect to the Dutch Security Documents,
(a) solely for purposes of Dutch law, Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to WFF an amount equal to the aggregate of all Principal Obligations due and payable but unpaid (the “Parallel Debt”);
(b) the Parallel Debt constitutes obligations and liabilities of Borrower to WFF which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Principal Obligations and the Parallel Debt represents WFF’s own independent right to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from Borrower;
(c) notwithstanding Section 15.18(b), if WFF receives or recovers any amount in respect of (i) the Parallel Debt, the Principal Obligations decrease by that amount as if that amount was received or recovered directly in payment of the Principal Obligations and, for the avoidance of doubt, (ii) the Principal Obligations, the Parallel Debt decreases by that amount as if that amount had been received or recovered directly in payment of the Parallel Debt;
18
(d) the parties acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Section 15.18 shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Principal Obligations under the Loan Documents; and
(e) Borrower shall not repay or prepay Parallel Debt if and as long as it owes Principal Obligations, unless directed to do so by WFF and Borrower is otherwise required to repay or prepay the Principal Obligations hereunder.”

(c) This Amendment, and each other Loan Document to which it is or will be a party, when duly executed and delivered by it, will be the legally valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally.
(d) No injunction, writ, restraining order, or other order of any nature prohibiting, directly or indirectly, the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein has been issued and remains in force by any Governmental Authority against Borrower or any Guarantor.
(e) No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the effectiveness of this Amendment.
(f) The representations and warranties set forth in this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment and after giving effect hereto, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, as though made on such date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date).
7. Covenant. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the Loan Parties shall and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to comply with the following covenants, it being understood that the failure to comply with any such covenant shall constitute an immediate Event of Default:
(a) on or prior to March 31, 2010, Agent shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the Mexican Subsidiaries have been dissolved and the proceeds thereof shall have been distributed to the Loan Parties; and
(b) on or prior to January 31, 2010, Agent shall have received the Dutch Security Documents and the legal opinions in respect thereof, which in each case shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

8. Acknowledgments. Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders, has and shall continue to have valid, enforceable and perfected first-priority liens upon and security interests in substantially all of the assets of Borrower (subject only to Permitted Liens), granted to Agent, for itself and the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that: (i) each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party has been duly executed and delivered to the Agent and the Lenders thereto by Borrower, and each is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (ii) the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in such documents and in this Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and guaranteed indebtedness of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, and as of the date hereof Borrower has no valid defense to the enforcement of the Obligations, and (iii) Agent and each Lender are and shall be entitled to the rights, remedies and benefits provided for in the Loan Documents and under applicable law or at equity.

12. Counterpart Execution. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart.

22
Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a modification or waiver of any right, power, or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The waivers, consents and modifications herein are limited to the specifics hereof (including facts or occurrences on which the same are based), shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall not excuse any non-compliance with the Loan Documents (other than as specified herein), and shall not operate as a consent to any matter under the Loan Documents (other than as specified herein). Except for the amendments to the Credit Agreement expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Except as provided herein, the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of or as an amendment of, any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in effect prior to the date hereof.

To the extent any terms or provisions of this Amendment conflict with those of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.
(b) Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.
(c) To the extent that any terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement as modified or amended hereby.
(d) This Amendment is a Loan Document.
(e) Unless the context of this Amendment clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.
14. Entire Agreement. This Amendment, and terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether express or implied, oral or written.
15. Integration. This Amendment, together with the other Loan Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.
16. Severability. In case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
