As of the date hereof, each reference in the Commitment Letter to “this Commitment Letter,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import, and each reference in the Fee Letter to the Commitment Letter (including, without limitation, by means of words like “thereunder”, “thereof” and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Commitment Letter, as amended by this amendment letter (this “Amendment Letter”). Except as specifically amended herein, the Commitment Letter shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment Letter shall not operate as a waiver under the Commitment Letter, and nor shall it constitute an amendment of any provision of the Commitment Letter, except as expressly contemplated hereby.
