the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

arrangements, and understandings. No provision of the Credit
Agreement or the other Loan Documents as modified may be changed, discharged,
supplemented, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by Lender and
Borrower.
b. All
references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit
Agreement as hereby modified and amended. This Amendment shall also
constitute a Loan Document and all terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (as modified herein) including, without limitation,
events of default, maturity dates and the miscellaneous provisions set forth
therein, including without limitation, consent to jurisdiction, applicable law,
and waiver of jury are incorporated herein as though set forth in full and
