remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents, and
shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms,
conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Loan
Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall
continue in full force and effect except that, on and after the effectiveness of
this Amendment, each reference to the Credit Agreement in any of the Loan
Documents shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by
this Amendment.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to a

consideration in interpreting, this Amendment.

 

Section 6.4.                                 Severability.  In the event any one
or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment should be held invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties

unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.
