respect to the Specified Default and does not operate with regard to any other prior or future Default or Event of Default. The
waiver set forth in this Section 2 shall not be deemed to establish a course of dealing between the parties or waive any Lender’s
right to withhold its consent to any similar requests in the future, nor shall the waiver set forth in this Section 2 be deemed
to limit, estop or otherwise restrict or prohibit the Lender from exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Credit Agreement
or other Loan Documents, or under applicable laws or principles of equity with respect to the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default other than the Specified Default expressly waived in this Section 2, all of which rights and remedies are specifically
hereby reserved.

Documents (except to the extent any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date,
in which case such representation or warranty is true and correct as of such date), and (b) restates, ratifies and reaffirms each
and every term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents.

		(d)	this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid,
and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar
laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or in law);



 






    3


     


    

 





 


		(e)	the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower hereunder does
not and will not require the consent or approval of any regulatory authority or governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction
over the Borrower, nor be in contravention of or in conflict with the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
documents of the Borrower, or the provision of any statute, or any judgment, order or indenture, instrument, agreement or undertaking,
to which the Borrower is party or by which the assets or properties of the Borrower are or may become bound;



 


		(f)	the Collateral Documents continue to create a valid security interest in, and Lien upon, the Collateral,

contemplated by this Amendment that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default.

each such defense, counterclaim, recoupment, offset or cause of action is hereby waived and released forever.

Document. This Amendment is a Loan Document and is subject to all provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to Loan Documents,
all of which are incorporated in this Amendment by reference the same as if set forth in this Amendment verbatim.
