hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.  The Loan Documents, as they may
be amended or affected by the various Amendment Documents, are hereby ratified
and confirmed in all respects. Any reference to the Existing Credit Agreement in
any Loan Document shall be deemed to be a reference to the Existing Credit
Agreement as hereby amended.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this
Amendment and the other Amendment Documents shall not, except as expressly
provided herein or therein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of
Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, the Notes, or any other Loan
Document nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Credit
Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral

of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this
Amendment.

 

Paragraph 5.2                            Survival of Agreements. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower and the

Documents, is a Loan Document, and all provisions in the Credit Agreement
pertaining to Loan Documents apply hereto and thereto.

 

Paragraph 5.4                Governing Law.  This Amendment shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and any
applicable laws of the United States of America in all respects, including

Paragraph 5.5  Miscellaneous. This Amendment is a “Loan Document” referred to in
the Credit Agreement.  The provisions relating to Loan Documents in Article X of
the Credit Agreement are incorporated in this Amendment by reference.  Unless
stated otherwise (a) the singular number includes the plural and vice versa and
words of any gender include each other gender, in each case, as appropriate,
(b) headings and captions may not be construed in interpreting provisions and
(c) if any part of this Amendment is for any reason found to be unenforceable,
all other portions of it nevertheless remain enforceable.

 

Paragraph 5.6  Release.  As additional consideration for the execution, delivery
and performance of this Amendment by the parties hereto and to induce the
Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and the Lenders to enter
into this Amendment, the Borrower warrants and represents to the Administrative
Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender and the Lenders that to its knowledge no
facts, events, statuses or conditions exist or have existed which, either now or
with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, constitute or will
constitute a basis for any claim or cause of action against the Administrative
Agent, Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or any Lender or any defense to (i) the
payment of the Obligations under the Notes and/or the Loan Documents, or
(ii) the performance of any of its obligations with respect to the Notes and/or
the Loan Documents.  In the event any such facts, events, statuses or conditions
exist or have existed, Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably hereby RELEASES,
RELINQUISHES and forever DISCHARGES Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank,
Swingline Lender and the Lenders, as well as their predecessors, successors,
assigns, agents, officers, directors, shareholders, employees and
representatives, of and from any and all claims, demands, actions and causes of
action of any and every kind or character, past or present, which Borrower may
have against any of them or their predecessors, successors, assigns, agents,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees and representatives arising out of
or with respect to (a) any right or power to bring any claim for usury or to
pursue any cause of action based on any claim of usury, and (b) any and all
transactions relating to the Loan Documents occurring prior to the date hereof,
including any loss, cost or damage, of any kind or character, arising out of or
in any way connected with or in any way resulting from the acts, actions or
omissions of any of them, and their predecessors, successors, assigns, agents,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees and representatives, including any
breach of fiduciary duty, breach of any duty of fair dealing, breach of
confidence, breach of funding commitment, undue influence, duress, economic
coercion, conflict of interest, negligence, bad faith, malpractice, intentional
or negligent infliction of mental distress, tortious interference with
contractual relations, tortious interference with corporate governance or
prospective business advantage, breach of contract, deceptive trade practices,
libel, slander or conspiracy, but in each case only to the extent permitted by
applicable Law.

 

Paragraph 5.7                Counterparts; Fax.  This Amendment may be
separately executed in counterparts and by the different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
constitute one and the same Amendment.  This Amendment and the other Amendment
Documents may be validly executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by
facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
