Such increase shall take effect for all purposes of the Credit Agreement on the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) of this Agreement.

2. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Commitments of the Increasing Lender and the other Lenders under the Credit Agreement are several and not joint commitments and obligations of such Lenders.

4. The Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower, and that the Credit Agreement, as supplemented and amended hereby, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.

5. The Administrative Agent and Required Lenders have waived the thirty (30) days' written notice requirement of Section 2.23(a) of the Credit Agreement.

6. Except as supplemented and amended hereby, the Credit Agreement and all other documents executed in connection therewith shall remain in full force and effect. The Credit Agreement, as supplemented and amended hereby, and all rights, powers and obligations created thereby or thereunder and under the Loan Documents and all such other documents executed in connection therewith are in all respects ratified and confirmed.

7. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one contract.
