 ARTICLE IV 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 4.1 Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not by implication or otherwise limit,

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

 2 








 
and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrowers to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other

administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.

CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE

irrevocably and unconditionally: 
  

	 	(i)	submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; provided that nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Agent from bringing suit or taking
other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

	 	(ii)	consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or
proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 

  

	 	(iii)	agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the applicable

shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 

  

	 	(iv)	agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 


 

	 	(v)	waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in Subsection 11.13(a) of the Credit Agreement any consequential or punitive
damages.
