(a) Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company and no further action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) No Conflicts.

(c) Consideration. No consideration has been offered or paid to any party hereto to amend or consent to a waiver, modification, forbearance or otherwise of any provision of any of the Notes, the Credit Documents or the Loan Agreement.
(d) No Defaults. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date hereof.
3. Public Disclosure. On or before 8:30 am (Eastern Time) on the fourth Business Day immediately following the date hereof, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K, disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and attaching this Agreement as an exhibit thereto. A copy of the Form 8-K shall be provided to the Lenders before filing. The Company shall consult with the Lenders in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.
4. Effect on Credit Documents. Except as specifically provided herein, all of the Credit Documents remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. Nothing in this Agreement shall extend to or affect in any way any of the rights or obligations of the Company arising under the Credit Documents. The respective obligations, amendments, agreements of the Lenders hereunder are subject to the following conditions being met: (a) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and (b) the performance by the Company of all if its obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed hereunder and under the Credit Documents.
5. Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties hereto, it being understood that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
6. Independent Nature of Lenders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lenders hereunder, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Lender has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Credit Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Lenders with the same terms and Credit Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Lenders.
