This Second Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) The Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed and are and shall continue to constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Second Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agents or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents.
9. Headings. Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Second Amendment.
10. Severability. In case any provision in this Second Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Second Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

This Second Amendment shall not extinguish the Guaranteed Obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any Loan Document or any guarantee thereof, and the guarantees existing immediately prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a novation of any of the Loan Documents or a substitution or novation, or a payment and reborrowing, or a
termination, of the Guaranteed Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement or instruments guaranteeing the same, which instruments shall remain and continue in full force and effect. Nothing expressed or implied in this Second Amendment or any other document contemplated hereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder, and except as expressly provided herein, such obligations are in all respects continuing with only the terms being modified as provided in this Second Amendment.
