Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each reference in the Loan Documents to the “Note”, the “Credit Agreement”, or any other “Loan Documents” shall be deemed to be references to said documents, as amended hereby. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the Loan Documents and the Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, and all of the remaining terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and the Guaranty are hereby ratified and confirmed. Borrower agrees that the Loan Documents shall continue to evidence, secure, guarantee or relate to, as the case may be, the Loans. Guarantor agrees that the Guaranty shall continue to secure the Loan.

Reference to and Effect on Credit Agreement. Except as specifically modified herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are each hereby ratified and confirmed. This Agreement shall be considered a Loan Document from and after the date hereof. The Borrower intend for the amendments to the Loan Documents set forth herein to evidence an amendment to the terms of the existing indebtedness of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and do not intend for such amendments to constitute a novation in any manner whatsoever.

As a condition to the Lender entering into this Amendment, the Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably confirm and agree that each Security Document and each of the other Loan Documents executed by the Borrower and/or any Guarantor, and all guaranties, grants of security, debentures, mortgages, liens, deeds, pledges and rights thereunder, are hereby ratified and confirmed, remain in full force and effect, remain fully perfected, and apply to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby and the entirety of the Loan (including any additional amounts advanced pursuant to this Amendment), notwithstanding any partial assignment of the Loan, to remain in effect securing the portion of the Note retained by Lender until the full amount of the Loan has been assigned and Lender has no further interest in the Loan.

Loan Document. This Amendment and each agreement, instrument, certificate or document executed by the Borrower and/or the Guarantors, as applicable, or any of their respective officers in connection therewith are “Loan Documents” as defined and described in the Credit Agreement and all of the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents relating to other Loan Documents shall apply hereto and thereto.

This Amendment is a Loan Document. The Loan Agreement as amended by this Amendment is hereby ratified, approved, confirmed, and continued in each and every respect, and the parties hereto agree that the Loan Agreement remains in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to release, terminate or act as a novation of, in whole or in part, any Loan Document or any guaranty, lien, mortgage, deed, debenture, indenture, pledge or security interest granted pursuant thereto. All references to the Loan Agreement in each of the Loan Documents and in any other document or instrument shall hereafter be deemed to refer to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby. The Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect, except as provided in this Amendment or in any agreement executed and delivered by the Lender in connection herewith, and the Loan Documents are hereby ratified, confirmed, and continued in full force and effect in all respects. This Amendment shall not be construed as a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or for any purpose, except as expressly set forth herein, or a consent to any other, further or future action on the part of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties that would require the waiver or consent of the Lender.

All references in the Loan Documents to the Credit Agreement and Guaranty shall henceforth include references to the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty, as modified and amended hereby, and as may, from time to time, be further amended, modified, extended, renewed, and/or increased.

Each Loan Document, after giving effect to this Amendment, is and shall continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed, except that, on and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in each of the Loan Documents to the "Credit Agreement", "thereunder", "thereof" or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as amended by, and after giving effect to, this Amendment.

Reaffirmation of Loan Documents. All of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, except as expressly amended and modified hereby, remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed by the Company, as amended. This Amendment is a Loan Document. Following the Amendment Effective Date, any reference to the Credit Agreement in the Loan Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended or supplemented hereby. Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Company to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents in similar or different circumstances.

Except as expressly modified herein, the Loan Documents, as amended, are and remain in full force and effect. The Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed as the continuing obligation of Borrower. Nothing contained herein will be construed as waiving any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents or will affect or impair any right, power or remedy of Lender under or with respect to the Loan Documents, as amended, or any agreement or instrument guaranteeing, securing or otherwise relating to any of the Obligations.
