5

SECTION 2.                                                 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

 

The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:

 

2.1.                              The Debtor and the Secured Party shall have executed and delivered this Amendment.

 

2.2.                              Legal matters incident to the execution and delivery of this Amendment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party and its counsel.

 

SECTION 3.                                                 REPRESENTATIONS.

 

In order to induce the Secured Party to execute and deliver this Amendment, the Debtor hereby represents to the Secured Party that as of the date hereof all representations and warranties set forth in Security Agreement are and shall be and remain true and correct or, to the extent such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, that such representations and warranties were true and correct as of such earlier date, and no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Security Agreement or shall result after giving effect to this Amendment.

 

SECTION 4.                                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

 

4.1.                              In order to secure the payment and performance of the Obligations, the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party a lien on and security interest in, and acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Party has and shall continue to have a continuing lien on and security interest in, all right, title and interest, whether now owned or existing or hereafter created, acquired or arising, in and to all of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement as amended hereby).  The foregoing grant of a lien and security interest is in addition to and supplemental of and not in substitution for the grants already made under the Security Agreement.  This Amendment confirms and assures the liens and continuing security interests heretofore granted in favor of the Secured Party under the Security Agreement, and nothing contained herein shall in any manner impair the priority of such liens and security interests.

 

4.2.                              Except as specifically amended herein, the Security Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms.  Reference to this specific Amendment need not be made in the Security Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or
