5. Release. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that: (a) neither it nor any of its Affiliates has any claim or cause of action against any Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents) and (b) each Agent and each Lender has heretofore properly performed and satisfied in a timely manner all of its obligations to the Loan Parties and their Affiliates under the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are required to have been performed on or prior to the date hereof.

6. Reaffirmation. The Borrower hereby confirms its grant of a security interest and other obligations under and subject to the terms of the Security Agreement, and agrees that, notwithstanding the effectiveness of this Fourth Amendment or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, such grant of security interest and other obligations are not impaired or adversely affected in any manner whatsoever and shall continue to be in full force and effect and shall continue to secure all the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), as amended, increased and/or extended pursuant to this Fourth Amendment.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) Continued Effectiveness of the Financing Agreement and the Other Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (i) all references in the Financing Agreement to "this Agreement", "hereto", "hereof", "hereunder" or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Fourth Amendment, and (ii) all references in the other Loan Documents to the "Financing Agreement", "thereto", "thereof", "thereunder" or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean the Financing Agreement as amended by this Fourth Amendment.

(b) Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Fourth Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Fourth Amendment.
(c) Headings. Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Fourth Amendment for any other purpose.
(d) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all fees, costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Fourth Amendment.
(e) Fourth Amendment as Loan Document. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Fourth Amendment constitutes a "Loan Document" under the Financing Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Financing Agreement if (i) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party under or in connection with this Fourth Amendment, which representation or warranty is (A) subject to a materiality or a Material Adverse Effect qualification, shall have been incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made, or (B) not subject to a materiality or a Material Adverse Effect qualification, shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or (ii) any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Fourth Amendment.
