          Agreement, hereunder, hereof, herein,

          related to creditors rights generally or by the application of equity
          principles, (iv) all of the representations and warranties contained in the
          Loan Agreement are true and correct in all material respects with the same force
          and effect as if made on and as of the date of this Amendment, except that with
          respect to the representations and warranties made regarding financial data in
          the Loan Agreement, such representations and warranties are hereby made with
          respect to the most recent financial statements and the other financial data (in
          the form required by the Loan Agreement) delivered by Borrower to Lender, and
