Credit Agreement, and any default by the Borrowers in the performance or
observance of any provision of this Amendment that continues unremedied after
the grace period described in Section 8.1 of the Credit Agreement shall
constitute an Event of Default under that section as if such provision had been
contained in the Credit Agreement.
