2.           Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its execution of this Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed to be a party to the Security Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations of an “Obligor” (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) thereunder as if it had executed the Security Agreement.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Security Agreement.

3.           Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its execution of this Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed to be a party to the Pledge Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations of a “Pledgor” thereunder as if it had executed the Pledge Agreement.  Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Pledge Agreement.

4.           Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledges and confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the schedules and exhibits thereto and each Security Document and the schedules and exhibits thereto.  The information on the schedules to the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents are hereby supplemented (to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement or Security Documents) to reflect the information shown on the attached Schedule A.

5.           The Borrower confirms that the Credit Agreement is, and upon each of the Subsidiary Guarantors becoming a Guarantor, shall continue to be, in full force and effect.  The parties hereto confirm and agree that immediately upon each of the Subsidiary Guarantors becoming a Guarantor the term “Credit Party Obligations,” as used in the Credit Agreement, shall include all obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Credit Agreement and under each other Credit Document.

6.           Each of the Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, it will execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
 
 
 

 

7.           This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one contract.

8.           This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would call for the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  The terms of Sections 9.13, 9.14, and 9.16 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

9.           This Agreement may, upon execution, be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail, which shall be deemed for all purposes to be an original signature.
