(c)agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to its address set forth in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
(d)agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders retain the right to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any Security Document or the enforcement of any judgment;

This Amendment shall apply and be effective only with respect to the provision of the Credit Agreement specifically referred to herein.
