REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

SECTION 3.1 Consents. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against any Grantor or any Issuer of this Agreement, except (a) as may be required by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally, (b) filings with the United States Copyright Office and/or the United States Patent and Trademark Office and (c) filings under the UCC.

SECTION 3.2 Perfected Liens. Each financing statement naming any Grantor as a debtor is in appropriate form for filing in the appropriate filing offices of the states specified on Schedule 3.3. The Security Interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) constitute valid security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Obligations, and (b): (1) when UCC financing statements containing an adequate description of the Collateral shall have been filed in the offices specified in Schedule 3.3, the Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such Grantor in the Collateral to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior to all other Liens and rights of others therein except for Permitted Liens; (2) when each Copyright security agreement has been filed with the United States Copyright Office, the Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of such Grantor in the Intellectual Property therein described, prior to all other Liens and rights of others therein except for Permitted Liens; and (3) when each control agreement has been duly executed by the applicable depository bank or Securities Intermediary (as applicable) and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of the Grantors in the Deposit Accounts (other than the Excluded Deposit Accounts) and Securities Accounts, as applicable, subject thereto, prior to all other Liens and rights of others therein and subject to no adverse claims except for Permitted Liens.

No Grantor has, during the five (5) years prior to the date of this Agreement, been known by or used any other corporate or fictitious name or been a party to any merger or consolidation, or acquired all or substantially all of the assets of any Person, or acquired any of its property or assets out of the ordinary course of business, except as set forth on Schedule 3.3.

The amount represented by each Grantor to the Administrative Agent as owing by each Account Debtor is, or will be, the correct amount actually and unconditionally owing, except for ordinary course cash discounts and allowances where applicable. There are no setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect to any Account, if in the aggregate with all other Accounts, the same exceed $500,000.
