(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.”

Miscellaneous.

(iii) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person with respect to any Contractual Obligation is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of this Amendment other than those that have already been obtained and are in full force and effect or the failure of which to have obtained would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) After giving effect to this Amendment, the Loan Parties represent and warrant to the Lenders that (i) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement and in each other Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) as of the date hereof, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects (unless already qualified by materiality, in which case such representation and warranty is true and correct in all respects) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.05(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to Sections 7.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, respectively and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or an Event of Default.

(e) Each Lender party hereto represents and warrants that, after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties of such Lender set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct as of the First Amendment Effective Date. Each Lender party hereto hereby agrees to comply with the covenants applicable to such Lender set forth in the Credit Agreement.

(f) This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(g) THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(h) The terms of Sections 11.14 and 11.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue and waiver of right to trial by jury are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
