(b) The representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in Article IV of the Loan Agreement, or which are

material adverse effect) on and as of the Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects
if any such representation and warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to material adverse effect) as of such earlier date.
(c) Each Loan Party has the full
power and authority to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this
Agreement, and the performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party, in each case, are within such person’s powers and have been authorized by all necessary corporate action of such
person.
(d) This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by such person and constitutes such person’s legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).
(e) No consent, approval,
authorization or order of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any court or Governmental Authority or third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such person of this Agreement.
(f) The execution and delivery of
this Agreement does not (i) violate, contravene or conflict with any provision of its organization documents or (ii) materially violate, contravene or conflict with any laws applicable to it or its subsidiaries.
(g) The Loan Parties’ obligations
are not reduced or modified by this Agreement and are not subject to any offsets, defenses or counterclaims.
5. Release. As a material part of the consideration for the Lenders entering into this Agreement (this Section 5, the “Release Provision”):
(a) Each Loan Party agrees that
the Lenders, each of their respective affiliates and each of the foregoing persons’ respective officers, managers, members, directors, advisors, sub- advisors, partners, agents and employees, and their respective successors and assigns
(hereinafter all of the above collectively referred to as the “Lender Group”), are irrevocably and unconditionally released, discharged and acquitted from any and all
actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages and liabilities of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected to the extent that any of the foregoing arises from any action or failure to act
under or otherwise arising in connection with the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents on or prior to the date hereof.
2
(b) Each Loan Party hereby
acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Lender Group that:
| (i) |
it has read and understands the effect of the Release Provision. Each Loan Party has had the assistance of independent counsel of its own choice, or has had the opportunity to
retain such independent counsel, in reviewing, discussing, and considering all the terms of the Release Provision; and if counsel was retained, counsel for such Loan Party has read and considered the Release Provision and advised such Loan
Party with respect to the same. Before execution of this Agreement, each Loan Party has had adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry it may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the subject matter of the
Release Provision.
|
| (ii) |
no Loan Party is acting in reliance on any representation, understanding, or agreement not expressly set forth herein. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the Lender Group has not
made any representation with respect to the Release Provision except as expressly set forth herein.
|
| (iii) |
each Loan Party has executed this Agreement and the Release Provision thereof as its free and voluntary act, without any duress, coercion, or undue influence exerted by or on
behalf of any person.
|
| (iv) |
each Loan Party is the sole owner of its respective claims released by the Release Provision, and no Loan Party has heretofore conveyed or assigned any interest in any such claims
to any other Person.
|
(c) The Loan Parties understand that
the Release Provision was a material consideration in the agreement of the Lenders to enter into this Agreement. The Release Provision shall be in addition to any right, privileges and immunities granted to the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) The Loan Agreement, as modified
hereby, and the obligations of the Loan Parties thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms. This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document
under the Loan Agreement.
(b) This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective
as an original and shall constitute a representation that an executed original shall be delivered.
(c) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
