(ii)    deleting the word "or" at the end of paragraph (g) thereof, (iii) inserting the word "or" at the end of paragraph (h) thereof and (iv) inserting the following new paragraph (i) immediately after paragraph (h) thereof:

            (i)    such acquisition is an acquisition of the SCANVAN Business; provided that the aggregate consideration for such acquisition (including cash and any Indebtedness assumed in connection with such acquisition) does not exceed approximately $24,000,000;

The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or any Agent under any of the Loan Documents. Except as expressly amended herein, all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.
