5.             Limited Effect.  Except as expressly provided hereby, all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect.  The amendments contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for any purpose, except as expressly set forth herein, or a consent to any further or future action on the part of any Credit Party that would require the waiver or consent of the Lenders.  This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
