Each Credit Party hereby (1) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, and each grant of security interests and liens in favor of Agent, under each Loan Document to which it is a party, (2) agrees and acknowledges that such ratification and reaffirmation is not a condition to the continued effectiveness of such Loan Documents, and (3) agrees that neither such ratification and reaffirmation, nor Agent’s or any Lender’s solicitation of such ratification and reaffirmation, constitutes a course of dealing giving rise to any obligation or condition requiring a similar or any other ratification or reaffirmation from such Credit Party with respect to any subsequent modifications to the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Credit Agreement is in all respects ratified and confirmed. Each of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed.

Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain the same.
(i) No Novation or Waiver. Except as specifically set forth in this Amendment, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not (1) limit, impair, constitute a waiver by, or otherwise affect any right, power or remedy of, Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) constitute a waiver of any provision in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or of any Default or Event of Default that may have occurred and be continuing or (3) alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.
