Section 4.          Ratification. Except as hereby amended or waived, the Loan Agreement, all other Loan Documents and each provision thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall continue in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any Default or of any covenant, term or provision of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that all ongoing obligations under the various Side Letters entered into in connection with, and as defined in, the Waiver, shall continue in full force and effect. In furtherance of the foregoing ratification, by executing this Amendment in the spaces provided below, each of the Guarantors, on a joint and several basis, hereby absolutely and unconditionally (a) reaffirms its obligations under the Guaranties, and (b) absolutely and unconditionally consents to (i) the execution and delivery by the Borrowers of this Amendment, (ii) the continued implementation and consummation of arrangements and transactions contemplated by the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, as amended or waived hereby) and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the performance and observance by each Borrower and each Guarantor of all of its respective agreements, covenants, duties and obligations under the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents.

Section 5.          Counterparts.

Section 9.          Headings. Section headings in this Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

Section 10.        Expenses. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to promptly reimburse the Administrative Agent and any of the Lenders for all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of Nutter and LM+Co, that such Person has heretofore or hereafter incurred or incurs in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Amendment and all other instruments, documents and agreements executed and delivered in connection with this Amendment.

Section 11.        Integration.

This Amendment supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements and representations of every nature whatsoever with respect to the matters referred to in this Amendment, all of which have become merged and finally integrated into this Amendment. Each of the parties hereto understands that in the event of any subsequent litigation, controversy or dispute concerning any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Amendment, no party shall be entitled to offer or introduce into evidence any oral promises or oral agreements between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Amendment not included or referred to herein and not reflected by a writing included or referred to herein.

Section 12.        No Course of Dealing. The Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have entered into this Amendment on the express understanding with the Borrowers and the Guarantors that, in entering into this Amendment, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders are establishing any course of dealing with the Borrowers or the Guarantors. The Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to require strict performance with all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not in any way be impaired by the execution of this Amendment. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be obligated in any manner to execute any further amendments or waivers and if such amendments or waivers are requested by the Borrowers and/or the Guarantors in the future, assuming the terms and conditions thereof are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may require the payment of fees in connection therewith. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors agree that none of the waivers or amendments set forth herein constitute a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that requires a similar or any other waiver or amendment with respect to the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 13.        Jury Trial Waiver. THE BORROWERS, THE GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AMENDMENT, MUTUALLY HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE LOAN OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, ARISING OUT OF TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, CONTRACT OR ANY OTHER LAW, AND AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.
