(c)  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

 

(d)  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of compliance with any term or condition contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or constitute a course of conduct or dealing among the parties.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve all rights, privileges and remedies under the Loan Documents and require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
