(c) On and as of the Incremental Effective Date, before and after giving effect to this Agreement, no Default has occurred and is continuing.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the Incremental Effective Date, and such notice shall be conclusive and binding.
SECTION 5.     Effect of this Agreement. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to any other consent to, or any other waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement in similar or different circumstances.
(b) On and after the Incremental Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
