SECTION 3. Independent Investigation. Each Committing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Amendment and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the business, affairs and financial condition of the Borrower.

SECTION 4. Conditions to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective when, and only when, and as of the date (the “Effective Date”) on which (a) the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, each of the Revolving Fronting Banks listed on the signature pages hereto and each of the Committing Banks or, as to any of the Committing Banks, advice satisfactory to the Agent that such Committing Bank has executed this Amendment, (b) the Agent shall have received payment of all accrued fees and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable and accrued fees of counsel to the Agent invoiced on or prior to the date hereof), (c) the Agent shall have received a favorable opinion of the Counsel of the Borrower regarding the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Amendment and other matters reasonably requested by the Agent, (d) the Agent shall have received a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower dated the Effective Date, to the effect that, after giving effect to this Amendment: (i) the representations and warranties contained in each of the Financing Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date as though made on and as of such date (unless stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing, (e) the Agent shall have received certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) of the Loan Parties approving the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment Increase and this Amendment and (f) no Revolving Credit Loans shall be outstanding.

(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 the Credit Agreement or the other Financing Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Financing Documents.

SECTION 7. Affirmation of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby consents to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected hereby, and hereby confirms and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Amendment, the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor contained in Article IX of the Credit Agreement or in any other Financing Documents to which it is a party are, and shall remain, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that, on and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in Article IX of the Credit Agreement and in each of the other Financing Documents to “the Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as modified by this Amendment.
