4

f. such certificates of good standing (to the extent such concept exists) from the applicable secretary of state of the state of organization of each Loan Party, certificates of resolutions or other action, incumbency certificates and/or other certificates of Responsible Officers of each Loan Party as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require evidencing the identity, authority and capacity of each Responsible Officer thereof authorized to act as a Responsible Officer in connection with this Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or is to be a party on the First Amendment Effective Date;

g. a legal opinion from Fried, Frank, Harris, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, New York and Delaware counsel to the Loan Parties;

5

4.1.4 The Specified Representations shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date; provided that, to the extent that any Specified Representation specifically refers to an earlier date, it shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date.

4.1.5 The following representation shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date:
