Except as expressly set forth herein, the amendments, waivers and consents set forth herein shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute an amendment, waiver or consent of, or otherwise affect the rights or remedies of the Lenders or the Agent under the Term Loan Agreement or any other Credit Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Term Loan Agreement or any other Credit Document, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

The amendment, waiver and consent herein shall apply and be effective only with respect to the matters expressly covered thereby.
