12. Reaffirmation. Except as expressly amended hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally ratifies its guarantee of the Obligations and grant of security interest and pledge under the Guaranty and Security Agreement and each Loan Document and confirms that the liens, security interests and pledges granted thereunder continue to secure the Obligations, including, without limitation, any additional Obligations resulting from or incurred pursuant to this Amendment. Each of the Loan Parties hereto, as debtor, grantor, mortgagor, pledger, guarantor, assignor, or in any other similar capacity in which such Loan Party grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party, guarantor, or indemnitor, as the case may be, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto) and (ii) to the extent such Loan Party granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Loan Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Obligations under or with respect to the Loan Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interest and liens and confirms and agrees that such guarantee includes, and such security interests and liens hereafter secure, all of the Obligations as amended hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the ratification and reaffirmation by the Loan Parties in this Section 12 shall not constitute a new grant of security interests and (ii) the consent of the Loan Parties (other than the Borrower) is not required for this Amendment. 13. Lender Direction. Pursuant to Sections 11.1 and 12.5 of the Existing Credit Agreement, the undersigned Lenders, which constitute all Lenders, hereby instruct the Agent, not in its individual capacity, but solely as Agent, to execute this Amendment, consent to the Sale Leaseback Transaction and to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments contemplated hereby or as otherwise reasonably requested by the Loan Parties in connection herewith.
