binding agreements of the Borrower and the Guarantors and are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms. 
 Section 3. Ratification. Except as hereby amended or waived, the Loan Agreement, all other Credit Documents and each provision thereof are hereby ratified and confirmed in every respect and shall continue in full force
and effect, and this Amendment shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of any covenant, term or provision of the Loan Agreement or the other Credit Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing
ratification, by executing this Amendment in the spaces provided below, each of the Guarantors, on a joint and several basis, hereby absolutely and unconditionally (a) reaffirms its obligations under the Guaranty, and (b) absolutely and

limitation, as amended or waived hereby) and the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the performance and observance by the Borrower and each Guarantor of all of its respective agreements, covenants, duties and obligations under the Loan Agreement
