such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct as of such specified
earlier date, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (iii) no event
or events have occurred which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.



     5.5 Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed by one or more of the parties
hereto in any number of separate counterparts, and all of such counterparts taken together shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of this First Amendment by facsimile
transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.



     5.6 No Oral Agreement. This First Amendment, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents executed in connection herewith and therewith represent the final agreement between the
parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or
unwritten oral agreements of the parties. There are no subsequent oral agreements between the
parties.
