Section 5. Adjustment of Maximum Credit Amounts and Applicable Percentages of Lenders. The Lenders have agreed among themselves, in consultation with the Borrower, to reallocate their respective Maximum Credit Amounts, Applicable Percentages and Elected Commitments as set forth on Annex I attached hereto, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby consent to such reallocation. The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower hereby waive (a) any requirement that an Assignment and Assumption or any other documentation be executed in connection with such reallocation, and (b) the payment of any processing and recordation fee to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the reallocation of the Maximum Credit Amounts, Applicable Percentages and Elected Commitments among the Lenders shall be deemed to have been consummated pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Assumption attached as Exhibit G to the Credit Agreement as if the Lenders had executed an Assignment and Assumption (including the Annex 1 attached thereto) with respect to such reallocation. On the Agreement Effective Date, the Maximum Credit Amount, Applicable Percentage and Elected Commitment of each Lender shall be as set forth on Annex I attached to this Agreement.

 

Section 6. Representations and Warranties.

Section 8. Effect of Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consent, waiver and modifications set forth herein shall be limited precisely as set forth above, and nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed (i) to constitute a waiver of compliance or consent to noncompliance by any of the Loan Parties to, or an amendment of, any other term, provision, condition or covenant of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, other than as specifically set forth herein; or (ii) to prejudice any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Upon the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, or words of like import shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement, as affected hereby. This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes.

 

Section 9. Confirmation of Security and Guaranty.

Section 10. Incorporation of Certain Provisions by Reference. The provisions of Section 12.09 of the Credit Agreement captioned “GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; ETC.” and of Section 12.10 of the Credit Agreement captioned “Waiver of Jury Trial” are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, for all purposes.

 

Section 11. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. For purposes of this Amendment, a counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to be treated as an original. The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.

 

Section 12. Entirety. This Amendment and all of the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
