             C. The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment shall
not constitute a waiver of any provision of, or operate as a waiver of any
right, power or remedy of any Agent or any Lender under, the Credit Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents.

         5.2 Fees and Expenses. Each Borrower acknowledges that all costs, fees
and expenses as described in subsection 10.2 of the Credit Agreement incurred by
Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or the Lenders and their respective
