8.                     Acknowledgement of Liens.  The Borrower (a) reaffirms the terms of and its obligations (and the security interests granted by it) under each Security Document to which it is a party, and agrees that each such Security Document will continue in full force and effect to secure the Secured Obligations as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and (b) acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that the liens and security interests granted by it pursuant to the Security Documents are valid, enforceable and subsisting and create a security interest to secure the Secured Obligations.

9.                     Representations and Warranties.  The Borrower hereby represents and warrants that:

(a)                                 after giving effect hereto, the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation and warranty is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such representation and warranty shall be true, correct and complete in all respects as if made on and as of such date) on and as of the date hereof, except that any representation and warranty that by its terms is made only as of an earlier date shall be true and correct as of such earlier date, except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect, which such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects as of such earlier date;

(e)                                  there are no governmental or other third party consents, licenses and approvals required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity and enforceability of this Agreement.

10.                    Loan Documents Remain Effective.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Loan Documents and all of the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, the rights and benefits of the Administrative Agent and Lenders thereunder, and the Liens created thereby remain in full force and effect.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to comply with all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Loan Documents.  This Agreement and the Loan Documents are intended by the Lenders as a final expression of their agreement and are intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms and conditions of that agreement.
