Except as expressly set forth herein, each and every term, condition, obligation, covenant and agreement contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document is hereby ratified and reaffirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Guarantor and Borrower reaffirm its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and the validity of the Liens granted by it pursuant to the Loan Documents. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Credit Agreement and from and after the date hereof, all references to the Credit Agreement in any Loan Document and all references in the Credit Agreement to “this Amendment”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall, unless expressly provided otherwise, refer to the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment. Guarantor and Borrower hereby consents to this Amendment and confirm that all obligations of Guarantor or Borrower under the Loan Documents to which Guarantor or Borrower is a party shall continue to apply to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

(i)    Release; No Action, Claims, Etc. In consideration of Agent’s and Lender’s willingness to enter into this Amendment, Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges Agent and Lender and each of Agent’s and Lender’s predecessors, successors, assigns, officers, managers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and affiliates from any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, damages, debts, suits, liabilities, actions and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, in each case to the extent arising in connection with the Loan Documents through the date of this Amendment, whether arising at law or in equity, whether known or unknown, whether liability be direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, whether absolute or contingent, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not heretofore asserted, which Guarantor or Borrower may have or claim to have against Agent and/or Lender.

Receipt by telecopy, facsimile or email transmission of any executed signature page to this Amendment shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page.

(k)    Interpretation. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

(l)    Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

(m)    Entirety. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Amendment and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
