This Agreement is limited solely to the matters expressly provided herein, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a consent, release or waiver of any other duty, term, condition or covenant contained in the Credit Agreement, the Sixth Amendment or any other Credit Document with respect to any matter or any other rights or remedies the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement, the Sixth Amendment, the Consent Agreement or any other Credit Documents or under applicable law.

provide copies to the Administrative Agent of) parallel written consents (the "Other Lenders' Consents") from each holder of the Other Designated Indebtedness for which the applicable governing documents require the sale of the assets of FSI for a specified amount by a date certain, such Other Lenders' Consents to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. No such consent or any related agreement may contain or require as a condition to such consent the payment by any Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries of any fee, other amount or other additional consideration (or the acceleration of the date for payment of any existing fee, other amount or other consideration) to any of the holders of the Other Designated Indebtedness.

Section 5.Representations of the Borrowers. Each of the Borrowers represents and

warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows:

(a) It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other documents delivered by it in connection herewith.

(c) 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 it of this Agreement.

(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement or any other document delivered by it in connection herewith 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.

(e) After giving effect to this Agreement, (i) the representations and warranties of the Borrowers set forth in the Credit Agreement and in each other Credit Document are true, accurate and complete in all material respects on and as of the date hereof to the same extent as though made on and as of such date except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which constitutes a Default or Event of Default.

Section 6.Miscellaneous.

(a) The Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Borrowers thereunder and under the other Credit Documents, as modified hereby, are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms. This Agreement shall constitute a Credit Document.

(b) Each Borrower (a) acknowledges and consents to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) affirms all of its obligations under the Credit Documents as modified hereby and (c) agrees that this Agreement and all documents executed in connection herewith do not operate to reduce or discharge its obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein.

(c) Each of the Borrowers, on behalf of its respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, attorneys, successors, assigns and representatives, hereby releases the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, attorneys, consultants, successors and assigns and representatives (collectively, the "Released Parties") from the following, whether arising from or in connection with any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents or otherwise prior to the Effective Date: (i) damages, claims, liabilities, causes of action, contracts, or controversies of any type, kind, nature, description or character; (ii) breaches of contract or duty of any other type of relationship; (iii) acts or omissions, misfeasance or malfeasance; and (iv) commitments or promises of any type made prior to the date hereof (the matters described in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to collectively as the "Claims"), whether or not the Claims are liquidated or unliquidated, which in any way arise out of, or relate to, the Credit Documents or any failure of any of the Released Parties to honor any prior commitment or any documents, agreements or other instruments in any way related to the Credit Documents.

 


 

(d) 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.
