3.3    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Lenders do not now waive, nor do they agree that they will waive in the future, any further Default or Event of Default.  Neither this Agreement nor any course of dealing or delay or failure of the Lenders in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in connection with any Event of Default shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or the existence of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of the steps to enforce any such right, remedy, power or privilege (pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, remedy, power or privilege, except to the extent expressly set forth herein.

6.3    Each Loan Party represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, there are no liabilities, claims, suits, debts, liens, losses, causes of action, demands, rights, damages or costs, or expenses of any kind, character or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, fixed or contingent, which any Loan Party may have or claim to have against any Released Party arising with respect to the Obligations, the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

6.4    Each Released Party agrees that nothing set forth in this Section 6 is intended to, nor shall anything set forth in this Section 6 be construed to, terminate any contractual obligations of the Released Parties to the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, which shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 7.    Survival.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier (or electronic mail (in PDF format)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

This Agreement relates only to the specific matters expressly covered herein, shall not be considered to be a waiver of any rights, claims or remedies any Lender may have under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document (except as expressly set forth herein) or under applicable law, and shall not be considered to create a course of dealing or to otherwise obligate in any respect any Lender to execute similar or other amendments or grant any waivers under the same or similar or other circumstances in the future.
Section 13.    Ratification by Guarantors.  Each of the Guarantors acknowledges that its consent to this Agreement is not required, but each of the undersigned nevertheless does hereby agree and consent to this Agreement and to the documents and agreements referred to herein.
