Except as modified by this Amendment, the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and this Amendment shall be a Loan Document for all purposes, and references in the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement to “the date hereof” and “the date of this Agreement” and phrases of similar import, shall in all instances be references to, and continue to refer to, May 10, 2004, and not the date of this Amendment. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement not expressly referred to herein and shall not be construed as an amendment, waiver or consent to any action on the part of any Grantor or any other Loan Party that would require an amendment, waiver or consent of any of the Lenders or the Agent except as expressly stated herein.
