novation or an accord and satisfaction but shall constitute an amendment of the Agreement. The
parties hereto agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Agreement as amended by this
Amendment as though such terms and conditions were set forth herein in full. The execution,
delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided in this
Amendment, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Lender nor preclude the future
exercise of any right, power, or privilege available to Lender whether under the Agreement, the
other Loan Documents or otherwise, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Agreement or any
other Loan Document or any other documents, instruments and agreements executed or delivered in
connection therewith or of any Default or Event of Default under any of the foregoing whether
arising before or after the Effective Date or as a result of performance hereunder.

federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of Maryland. By execution

based on lack of jurisdiction, venue or convenience, and (v) agrees that this loan was made in
Maryland, that Lender has accepted in Maryland Loan Documents executed by Borrower and
Nationshealth and has disbursed Advances under the Loan Documents in Maryland. Nothing shall
affect the right of Lender to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right
of Lender to bring proceedings against Borrower and Nationshealth in the courts of any other
jurisdiction having jurisdiction. Any judicial proceedings against Lender involving, directly



4









 




or indirectly, the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement shall be brought only in
a federal or state court located in the State of Maryland. All parties acknowledge that they
participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Amendment and the Loan Documents and that,
accordingly, no party shall move or petition a court construing this Amendment or the Loan
Documents to construe them more stringently against one party than against any other.




     Section 10. Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AMENDMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY
CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM
OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS
AMENDMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.



     Section 11. Headings and Counterparts. The captions in this Amendment are intended
for convenience and reference only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of
this Amendment and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment. This
Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute
but one and the same instrument. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile transmission, which
facsimile signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts for all purposes, and each
party to this Amendment agrees that it will be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it
accepts the facsimile signature of each other party to this Amendment.



     Section 12. Amendments. This Amendment may not be changed, modified, amended,
restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of
dealing or in any other manner other than by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower. This
Amendment shall be considered part of the Agreement for all purposes under the Agreement.

Documents constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the
subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous
or subsequent oral agreements between the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between

words used in the singular number herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural, and vice
versa, and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter and the neuter shall include
the masculine and feminine. This Amendment shall inure to the benefit of Lender, all future
