Borrower and Guarantor each hereby acknowledges that the waiver set forth in the prior sentence was separately bargained for and that such waiver is an essential term and condition of this Amendment (and without which the amendment in Section 1 hereof would not have been agreed to by Administrative Agent and Lenders).

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Amendment shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Amendment.
11. Successors and Assigns.
