VIII. Reaffirmation of Combined Credit Agreements. This Amendment shall be deemed to be an amendment to the Combined Credit Agreements, and the Combined Credit Agreements, as amended hereby, are hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in each and every respect. All references to the Combined Credit Agreements herein and in any other document, instrument, agreement or writing shall hereafter be deemed to refer to the Combined Credit Agreements as amended hereby.

IX. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by telecopy (or other electronic transmission acceptable to the Global Administrative Agent) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

XIII. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that neither the U.S. Borrower nor the Canadian Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Global Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Combined Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by either the U.S. Borrower or the Canadian Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

XIV. No Oral Agreements. THIS AMENDMENT, THE COMBINED CREDIT AGREEMENTS, AS AMENDED HEREBY, AND THE OTHER COMBINED LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN AND AMONG THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
