WHEREAS, the Lenders and the Agent have agreed to such amendments as set forth herein and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, the terms and conditions contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that all capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement, and further agree as follows:

2.                                       No other Amendments. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided above, operate as an amendment or waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent or Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, nor constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Except for the amendments and waiver expressly set forth above, the text of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and Borrower hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations thereunder. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or a course of dealing with Agent or Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement such as to require further notice by Agent or Lenders to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future.

 

3.                                       Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof when, and only when, Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to it, the following:

b.                                      Except for approvals which have been obtained, no authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body, is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Borrower or any Guarantor of this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents, as amended hereby, to which such Person is or will be a party;

 

c.                                       This Amendment and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended hereby, to which Borrower and each Guarantor is a party, respectively, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of each such party, enforceable against such Person in accordance with their respective terms, provided that enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, reconstruction and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditor’s rights generally; and
