In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Amendment, Borrowers hereby represent and warrant that (a) the representations, warranties and agreements contained in Article 5 of the Credit Agreement, are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof, after giving effect to this Amendment (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date); (b) no Event of Default or Potential Default exists on the date hereof, both before and after giving effect to this Amendment; and (c) the execution, delivery and performance by Borrowers of this Amendment have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action and do not and will not require any registration with, amendment or approval of, notice to or action by, any Person (including any federal, foreign, state or local governmental authority) in order to be effective and enforceable.

The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree that Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.    Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF OHIO WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
9.    Construction. The words “hereof”, “herein”, and “hereunder”, and other words of a similar import refer to this Amendment as a whole and not to the individual Sections in which such terms are used. References to Sections and other subdivisions of this Amendment are to the designated Sections and other subdivisions of this Amendment as originally executed. The headings of this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions hereof. Where the context so requires, words used in singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall include all other genders.
