(a) This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment of any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document not referred to herein and shall not be construed as a waiver or consent to any further or future action on the part of the Borrower that would require a waiver or consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.  Except as expressly amended hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents are and shall remain in full force and effect and the Borrower agrees, with respect to each Loan Document to which it is a party, that all of its obligations, liabilities and indebtedness under such Loan Document, as amended hereby, including guarantees and grants of security interests, shall remain in full force and effect. This Amendment and the Acknowledgment and Confirmation shall each constitute a Loan Document for the purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  This Amendment may not be amended, nor may any provision hereof be waived, amended or modified except in writing signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement (assuming this Amendment were the Credit Agreement) and such Section 10.01 shall apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis on such basis.
