This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and from and after the Second Repricing Date, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement in the Amended Credit Agreement shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Amended Credit Agreement.
