F.     Each Loan Party listed on the signatures pages hereof consents to the terms hereof and hereby acknowledges and agrees that any Loan Document to which it is a party or otherwise bound shall continue in full force and effect (including, without limitation, the pledge and security interest in the Collateral granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents). Each of the Loan Parties party hereto (in its capacity as debtor, grantor, pledger, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Loan Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be) hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that this Third Amendment does not constitute a novation or termination of the “Secured Obligations” under the Collateral Agreement or other Loan Documents as in effect prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date and which remain outstanding as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that the “Secured Obligations” under the Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as amended hereby) are in all respects continuing, (iii) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto), (iv) to the extent such Loan Party granted Liens on any of its Collateral pursuant to any such Loan Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Borrower’s Secured Obligations under or with respect to the Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interests and Liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and Liens are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect and shall continue to secure all of the “Secured Obligations” under the Collateral Agreement or other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all of the Secured Obligations as amended hereby and (v) agrees that this Third Amendment shall in no manner impair or otherwise adversely affect any of such Liens.

Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that nothing in the Credit Agreement, this Third Amendment or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to require the consent of such Loan Party to any future waiver of the terms of the Credit Agreement.

G.     From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the “Credit Agreement,” shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by this Third Amendment.
