security interest in and to all Collateral as collateral security for the prompt
payment and performance in full when due of the "Obligations" under each of the
Credit Support Documents to which it is a party (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise).
Each Credit Support Party acknowledges and agrees that any of the
Credit Support Documents to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall
continue in full force and effect and that all of its obligations thereunder
shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the
execution or effectiveness of this Amendment. Each Credit Support Party
represents and warrants that all representations and warranties contained in the

notwithstanding the conditions to effectiveness set forth in this Amendment,
such Credit Support Party is not required by the terms of the Credit Agreement
or any other Credit Document to consent to the amendments to the Credit
Agreement effected pursuant to this Amendment and (ii) nothing in
14

deemed to require the consent of such Credit Support Party to any future
amendments to the Credit Agreement.
