counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have
delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) the same to the Agent at
its address for notice provided for in the Credit Agreement.

         8. From and after the Amendment Effective Date, all references in the
Credit Agreement and each of the Credit Documents to the Credit Agreement shall
be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
