(f) the Parent Guarantor may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire shares of capital stock issued by it provided that with respect to this clause (f) the aggregate price paid for all such purchased, redeemed, or otherwise acquired shares of capital stock may not exceed, on a cumulative basis, $15,000,000;

provided that, in the case of any Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (b), (d) and (f) above, no Default under Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(h) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time thereof or would result therefrom.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties.

Section 4. Effect on Credit Documents. Except as amended herein, the Credit Agreement and all other Credit Documents remain in full force and effect as originally executed. Nothing herein shall act as a waiver of any of the Revolving Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under the Credit Documents as amended, including the waiver of any default or event of default, however denominated.
