4.             Conditions to this Amendment. This Amendment shall not become effective until the date on which each of the following conditions is satisfied or waived in writing by the Required Lenders:

 

(a)           Counterparts of Amendment.  The Administrative Agent shall have received from each party hereto either (i) a counterpart of this Amendment signed on behalf of such party or (ii) written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include telecopy transmission of a signed signature page of this Amendment) that such party has signed a counterpart of this Amendment.

 

(b)           Fees and Expenses.  The Administrative Agent shall have received all fees and other amounts due and payable on or prior to the date hereof, including, to the extent invoiced, reimbursement or payment of all out-of-pocket expenses required to be reimbursed or paid by the Borrower hereunder.

 

5.             Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Except to the extent specifically amended or waived hereby, the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents and all related documents shall remain in full force and effect.  Whenever the terms or sections amended hereby shall be referred to in the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or such other documents (whether directly or by incorporation into other defined terms), such defined terms shall be deemed to refer to those terms or sections as amended by this Amendment.  The foregoing waivers shall apply solely to the provisions of the Credit Agreement specified herein for the periods and purposes specified herein.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a modification, amendment or waiver of any other term or condition of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all counterparts shall together constitute one instrument.

 

(c)           This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(d)           The Credit Parties agree to pay all reasonable expenses, including legal fees and disbursements incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.
