Section 6.        No Other Amendments.

Except for the amendments set forth herein, the text of all other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and the Credit Parties hereby ratify and confirm their respective obligations thereunder.

This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

This Amendment represents the final agreement between the Borrowers, the other Credit Parties, Agent, Co-Collateral Agents and the Lenders as to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties. The Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.
Section 10.    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
