6.Full Force and Effect of Credit Agreement.  This Seventh Amendment is a Credit Document.  Except as expressly consented hereto, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents remain in full force and effect and nothing contained in this Seventh Amendment shall in any way impair the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Credit Documents, or alter, waive, annul, vary, affect, or impair any provisions, conditions, or covenants contained therein or any rights, powers, or remedies granted therein.

10.References.  All references to the “Credit Agreement” in the Credit Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Seventh Amendment.
11.Successors and Assigns.  This Seventh Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Agent and Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Credit Documents, and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3 of the Credit Agreement.
