part of such Borrower which is a party hereto and thereto and, if necessary, its
stockholders, and is in full force and effect as of the date hereof, as the case

creditors' rights and (b) the application of general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in

required in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance of this
Fifth Amendment other than the filing of a Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the
Exchange Act.
3.3. No Event of Default. No Event of Default, and no
condition or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both,
would constitute an Event of

Default, exists or has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to the
provisions of this Fifth Amendment. All of the representations and warranties
set forth in the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, are true and
correct in all respects on and as of the date hereof as if made on the date
hereof, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is made as of a
specified date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been
true and correct as of such date.
Section 4. Conditions Precedent. This Fifth Amendment shall be
effective as of the date hereof but only upon the satisfaction of each of the
following conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to Agent:
4.1. Agent shall have received an original of this Fifth

which shall be satisfactory to Agent;
4.3. the Working Capital Agent and the Working Capital Lenders
shall have consented to this Fifth Amendment and the amendments to the Loan
Agreement set forth herein;

Capital Lenders, and consent thereto for all purposes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.9(e)(v) of the Loan Agreement.
Section 6. Additional Events of Default. The parties hereto
acknowledge, confirm and agree that the failure of any Borrower to comply with
the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein or in any other
agreement, document or instrument at any time executed by any Borrower in
connection herewith shall in each case constitute an Event of Default under the
Financing Agreements.
Section 7. Miscellaneous.
7.1. Effect of this Fifth Amendment. Except as modified
pursuant hereto, no other changes or modifications to the Financing Agreements
are intended or implied and in all other respects the Financing Agreements are
hereby specifically ratified, restated and confirmed by all parties hereto as of

each of the parties hereto shall be governed by and interpreted and determined
in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York but excluding any
principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the
application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of
New York.
7.3. Binding Effect. This Fifth Amendment shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns.

but one and the same agreement. In making proof of this Fifth Amendment, it
shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one counterpart
hereof signed by each of the parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of this Fifth Amendment by facsimile or electronic mail shall have the same
force and effect as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Fifth
Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Fifth Amendment
by facsimile or electronic mail also shall deliver an original executed
counterpart of this Fifth Amendment, but the failure to deliver an original
executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding
effect of this Fifth Amendment as to such party or any other party hereto.
