Nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed to:
(a) Constitute a waiver of compliance by the Borrower with respect to any other term, provision, or condition of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein; or
(b) Prejudice any right or remedy that the Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein.

(d) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes a legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or in law);
(e) the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the performance by the Borrower hereunder does not and will not require the consent or approval of any regulatory authority or governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Borrower, nor be in contravention of or in conflict with the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational
documents of the Borrower, or the provision of any statute, or any judgment, order or indenture, instrument, agreement or undertaking, to which the Borrower is party or by which the assets or properties of the Borrower are or may become bound;
