provision of it shall be interpreted or construed for or against a party because such party purportedly prepared or requested such provision, any other provision or this Amendment as a whole. No promise, condition, representation or warranty, express or implied, not set forth in the Relevant Documents shall bind any party hereto, and no such party has relied on any such promise, condition, representation or warranty. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Relevant Documents, no representations, warranties or commitments, express or implied, have been made by any party to any other party in relation to the subject matter hereof or thereof. None of the terms or conditions of this Amendment may be changed, modified, waived or cancelled orally or otherwise, except in writing and in accordance with Section 12.5 (Amendments, Waivers and Consents) of the Credit Agreement. 7. Full Force and Effect of Credit Agreement. This Amendment is a Loan Document (and the Borrower agrees that the "Obligations” secured by the Collateral shall include any and all obligations of the Borrower under this Amendment). Except as expressly modified hereby, all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and nothing contained in this Amendment shall in any way impair the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or the Loan Documents, or alter, waive, annul, vary, affect, or impair any provisions, conditions, or covenants contained therein or any rights, powers, or remedies granted therein. This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or a course of dealing with Agent or the Lenders at variance with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents such as to require further notice by Agent or any Lender to require strict compliance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the future, except in each case as expressly set forth herein. The Borrower acknowledges and expressly agrees that Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to, and do in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (subject to any qualifications set forth therein), as amended herein. 8. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Except as provided in Section 4 above, this Amendment shall become effective when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. This Amendment may be executed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by electronic imaging) all with the same force and effect as if the same was a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.
