SECTION 6. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Standstill

Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and all of
the Standstill Lenders the following:
(a) The execution, delivery and performance by each Standstill Party
of the Amendment and the Loan Documents to which it is a party, as amended
hereby, are within such Standstill Party's corporate powers, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not (i) contravene such

injunction, decree, determination or award or in breach of any such contract,
loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other instrument,
the violation or breach of which is reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(b) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to
or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third
party is required to be obtained by the Standstill Parties in connection with
the execution and delivery, or performance by any Standstill Party of any of its
obligations under the Amendment and the Standstill Agreement, as amended hereby.
(c) The Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each

its terms except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights or by
equitable principles generally.
(d) No Standstill Party has an existing claim against any Standstill
Lender arising out of, relating to or in connection with the Loan Documents.

under, the DM Agreement, and no Foreign Subsidiary is in breach of, or in
default under, any other Contractual
4
Obligation, binding on or affecting any Foreign Subsidiary or any of their
properties, where the consequence of such default is to confer rights upon any
person against such Foreign Subsidiary which, if exercised, can be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) The representations and warranties made by each of the Standstill
Parties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on
and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to the effectiveness of this
Amendment, as if made on and as of the date hereof.

any such Loan Document expressly limited to a specific date).
SECTION 7. Reference to and Effect on the Loan Documents.
(a) On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Standstill
Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of like import
referring to the Standstill Agreement and each reference in the Credit Agreement

(b) The Standstill Agreement, the Credit Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents, except to the extent of the amendments, covenants and
other modifications specifically provided above, are and shall continue to be in
full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right,
power or remedy of any Standstill Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan
Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan
Documents.
(d) This Amendment is and shall be a Loan Document.
SECTION 8. Affirmation of Loan Documents. Each Standstill Party, in
its capacity as a Guarantor or otherwise, hereby consents to the modification of
the Standstill Agreement, effected hereby and hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the terms of this Amendment shall not affect in any way its duties,
