§3. Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is further amended by adding Exhibit 9.3 to the Credit Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 9.3 hereto.

The Credit Agreement and this First Amendment shall be read and construed as a single agreement. All references in the Credit Agreement or any related agreement or instrument to the Credit Agreement shall hereafter refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
§7. No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of, impair or otherwise affect any Obligations, any other obligation of the Borrower or any rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders consequent thereon.
§8. Counterparts. This First Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
