Agreement, the Revolving Notes, the Loan Documents, and the documents related
thereto shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the original
terms, and no course of dealing or other action or statement of the Lenders or
any of its officers, directors, agents, employees, legal counsel or other
representative shall amend, or be deemed an amendment of, the Loan Documents,
the Revolving Notes, the Credit Agreement or any of the documents related
thereto.
