SECTION 5.  Reference to and Effect Upon the Revolving Credit Agreement.

(b)On and as of the RCA Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Revolving Credit Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Revolving Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by this RCA Amendment.  


(c)The Revolving Credit Agreement, as specifically amended by this RCA Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.


SECTION 6.  Governing Law.  This RCA Amendment shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. 


SECTION 7.  Counterparts.  This RCA Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
