(b) Except as otherwise provided in the Waiver, the representations and warranties contained herein and in the Credit Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof as if made on the date hereof (except for those which by their terms specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date).
(c) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing after giving effect to this Amendment.

This Amendment shall constitute a Credit Document.
9. Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
12. Limited Effect. This Amendment relates only to the specific matters expressly covered herein, shall not be considered to be a waiver of any rights or remedies any Lender or Agent may have under the Credit Agreement or under any other Credit Document, and shall not be considered to create a course of dealing or to otherwise obligate in any respect any Lender or Agent to execute similar or other consents under the same or similar or other circumstances in the future.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees and acknowledges that no other agreement, instrument, consent or document shall be required to give effect to this Section 13. Each of the Guarantors hereby further acknowledges that Company, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and any Lender may from time to time enter into any further amendments, modifications, terminations and/or waivers of any provision of the Credit Documents without notice to or consent from such Guarantor and without affecting the validity or enforceability of such Guarantor’s Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of such Guarantor’s Guaranty.
