jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any
other jurisdiction. The section and subsection headings used in this Amendment
are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction

waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the Borrower
that would require a waiver or consent of the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent. Except as expressly amended, modified or supplemented hereby, the
