(f)                 The Revolving Lenders and Issuing Banks party hereto (which constitute all of the Revolving Lenders and Issuing Banks under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to this Amendment on the Second Amendment Effective Date) hereby consent to this Amendment and the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, including the Revolver Repricing and the Other Amendments).

(g)                The (i) Amended Revolving Loans shall constitute “Revolving Loans” and “Loans” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (ii) the Amended Revolving Commitments shall constitute “Revolving Commitments” and “Commitments” for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

section 9.          Governing Law; Etc.
