	4.1.		Upon the effectiveness of Section 1 hereof, on and after the date hereof, each reference to the Credit Agreement in the Credit Agreement (including any reference therein to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring thereto) or in any other Program Document shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
