NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements contained herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(c) No Termination Event. No Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing.
(d) Representations and Warranties. As of the Effective Date, the representations and warranties contained in this Amendment, the Credit Agreements and in each other Loan Document (other than with respect to the Specified Events of Default) shall be true and correct in all material respects (or in any respect to the extent such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality) on and as of the Effective Date as if made on and as of the Effective Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (or in any respect to the extent such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality) on and as of such earlier date.
3. Representations and Warranties. To induce the Agents and the Subject Lenders to enter into this Amendment, each Company Party hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof:
(a) Duly Organized. Each Company Party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, and has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform this Amendment.

(c) Binding Obligation. This Amendment constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Company Party, enforceable against such Company Party in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Except as expressly set forth herein, the Forbearance Agreement is and shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, and nothing contained in this Amendment shall, by implication or otherwise, limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights of the Agents or the Subject Lenders, or shall alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Forbearance Agreement.
6. Survival. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
