authorization, approval, consent or other action by, notice to, or filing with,
any governmental authority or other person is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower thereof. In addition, Borrower represents
that after giving effect to this Amendment all representations and warranties
contained in the Original Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true
and correct in all material respects (except that any representation or warranty
that is qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct in all respects)

precisely as written and shall not be deemed (a) to be a consent under or a
waiver of or an amendment to any other term or condition in the Original Credit
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or (b) to prejudice any right or rights
which Administrative Agent now has or may have in the future under or in
connection with the Original Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, each as
amended hereby, or any of the other documents referred to herein or therein. The

payment and performance of the Obligations as described in the Original Credit
Agreement as modified by this Amendment.
9.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
