9.

No Other Modification; Reaffirmation. The amendments set forth in Section 1 are effective only for the express purposes set forth herein, are limited precisely as written and shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment, waiver or modification of, or consent to any deviation from, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, except as expressly set forth herein, and shall not prejudice any right or remedy which any Agent or any Lender may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects, including with respect to any security interest or Lien granted to the Collateral Agent or any Lender pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents.

10.

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law. Any Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to insist at any time upon strict compliance with this Amendment or any other Credit Document or any continued course of such conduct shall not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver by such Agent or such Lender, as applicable, of any of its rights or privileges. A waiver or consent, express or implied, of or to any breach or default by any Credit Party in the performance of its obligations under this Amendment or any other Credit Document shall not constitute or be deemed to be a waiver or consent of or to any other breach or default in the performance by any Credit Party of the same or any other obligations hereunder or thereunder.

11.

Fees and Expenses. The Credit Parties agree and acknowledge that all fees and expenses incurred by the Agents in connection with this Amendment for which the Credit Parties are liable in accordance with and pursuant to Section 13.05 of the Credit Agreement shall be for the account of the Credit Parties.

If any Releasing Party violates the foregoing covenant, each Credit Party, for itself and its successors and assigns, and its present and former members, managers, shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents, legal representatives and other representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation.
