3.1 Effect; Ratification.
(a) Except as specifically set forth above, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(c) Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the limited waiver set forth herein is effective solely for the purposes set forth herein and that the execution and delivery by Agent of this Limited Waiver shall not be deemed (i) except as expressly provided in this Limited Waiver, to be a consent to any amendment, waiver or modification of any term or condition of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document, (ii) to create a course of dealing or otherwise obligate Agent or Lenders to forbear, waive, consent or execute similar amendments under the same or similar circumstances in the future, or (iii) to amend, prejudice, relinquish or impair any right of Agent or Lenders to receive any indemnity or similar payment from any Person or entity as a result of any matter arising from or relating to this Limited Waiver.
3.2 Counterparts and Signatures by Fax. This Limited Waiver may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart constituting an original but all together one and the same instrument. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Limited Waiver by fax shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Limited Waiver.
3.3 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Limited Waiver shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
