5. No Waiver. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to (i) constitute a
waiver of any Default or Event of Default that may heretofore or hereafter occur or have
occurred and be continuing or, except as expressly provided herein, to otherwise modify
any provision of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, or (ii) give rise to any
defenses or counterclaims to any Lender’s right to compel payment of the Obligations
when due or to otherwise enforce its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.

Amendment.

8. Counterparts; Etc. This First Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which counterparts
taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart
signed by all parties may be introduced into evidence in any action or proceeding without
having to produce or account for the other counterparts. Likewise, the existence of this

First Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or
other electronic transmission in which the actual signature is evident, shall be treated in all
manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have
the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in
person. At the request of any party hereto, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-
execute original forms hereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto shall
raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission in which the actual
signature is evident to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or
instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or
other electronic transmission in which the actual signature is evident as a defense to the
formation of a contract and each party forever waives such defense.
