ARTICLE III

Miscellaneous

SECTION 3.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Reaffirming Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 3.02. Loan Document. This Ratification Agreement is a Loan Document executed pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.

SECTION 3.03. Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Ratification Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Ratification Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Ratification Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Ratification Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Ratification Agreement.

SECTION 3.04. No Novation. This Ratification Agreement shall not extinguish the Obligations or Secured Obligations or discharge or release the priority of any Loan Document or any other security therefor. Nothing herein shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations, Secured Obligations or of any other obligations under any Loan Document, which shall remain in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall constitute a novation of the Credit Agreement or of any other Loan Document. Nothing in or implied by this Ratification Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder. Each of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Ratification Agreement.

SECTION 3.05. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The governing law, submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue, service of process and waiver of jury trial provisions set forth in Sections 10.14 and 10.15 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated herein mutatis mutandis with all references to the “Agreement” therein being deemed references to this Ratification Agreement and all references to the “Borrower” therein being deemed references to the Reaffirming Parties.

SECTION 3.06. Severability. Any provision of this Ratification Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
