4.              Ratification of Loan Documents.  Except as amended by this Amendment, all term, covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect as first written. In the event of a conflict between the terms of any of the Loan Documents and this Amendment, the provisions of this Amendment shall govern.
