to effectuate such adjustment. Each such increasing Lender or
acceding Lender on the Effective Date shall (i) be deemed

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.
4
Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Amendment by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
(e) This Amendment may not be amended except in accordance
with the provisions of Section 10.01 of the Credit
Agreement.
(f) If any provision of this Amendment or the other
Amendment Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable, (i) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment and
the other Amendment Documents and Loan Documents shall not be
affected or impaired thereby and (ii) the parties shall
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of
the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity
of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate
or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(g) The Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and
its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and
disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Amendment and the other
Amendment Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers
of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be
consummated).
(h) This Amendment, the BAS Amendment Fee Letter, the Xxxxx
Fargo Amendment Fee Letter and the Notes, and any new lender
agreements or commitment increase agreements executed pursuant
to this Amendment shall constitute Loan Documents.
