(a) this Third Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and each of this Third Amendment and the Credit Agreement (as modified by this Third Amendment) constitute its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general applicability relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and

(b) all representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein) with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the Third Amendment Effective Date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier therein) only as of such specified date).

SECTION 7. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.
