Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the terms and provisions of this

limited to the extent expressly set forth herein and shall not constitute a
modification of the Credit Agreement or a course of dealing at variance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement (other than as expressly set forth above) so as to
require further notice by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of
them, of its or their intent to require strict adherence to the terms of the
Credit Agreement in the future. All of the terms, conditions, provisions and
covenants of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain

warrants in favor of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, as follows:

the Credit Agreement is hereby restated and affirmed as true and correct in all

fulfilled in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended
hereby, and to the extent relating specifically to the Agreement Date or
otherwise inapplicable;
(ii) The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to
enter into this Amendment and to do all acts and things as are required or
contemplated hereunder to be done, observed and performed by it;

executed and delivered by Authorized Signatories, and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to the
following qualifications: (i) an order of specific performance and an injunction
are discretionary remedies and, in particular, may not be available where
damages are considered an adequate remedy at law, and (ii) enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, reconstruction
and other similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally
(insofar as any such law relates to the bankruptcy, insolvency or similar event
of the Borrower); and
(iv) The execution and delivery of this Amendment and the
Borrower's performance hereunder do not and will not require the consent or
approval of any regulatory authority or governmental authority or agency having
jurisdiction over the Borrower, nor be in contravention of or in conflict with
the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Borrower, or the
provision of any statute, judgment, order, indenture, instrument, agreement, or
undertaking to which the Borrower is party or by which the Borrower's assets or
properties are or may become bound.
