Credit Agreement are expressly incorporated herein by reference.

and by the parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, and each such
counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Amendment.
Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other
electronic method of transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

other provision of this Amendment for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.
