Except as herein specifically agreed, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect according to their terms.

This Amendment shall not constitute a course of dealing with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by such Person to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future. The Borrower acknowledges and expressly agrees that the Administrative Agent and each Lender reserves the right to, and does in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement (as expressly modified by this Amendment) and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Amendment shall become effective as provided in Section 2 hereof and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy or other


4


electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(d)    Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto and thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any prior agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto are superseded hereby.

(e)    Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Amendment held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(f)     Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement.

(g)    Construction. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Amendment shall not be construed more favorably in favor of any party hereto based upon which party drafted the same, it being acknowledged that all parties hereto contributed substantially to the negotiation of this Amendment.
