SECTION 2. Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above written when, and only when the Agent shall have received counterparts of this Amendment executed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, as to any of the Lenders, advice satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender has executed this Amendment. This Amendment is subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the Credit Agreement and the Notes, as amended hereby, are within the Borrowers corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene (i) the Borrowers charter or by-laws or(ii) law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Borrower.
