(a)all representations and warranties relating to such Obligor contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document are true and correct as of the date hereof as if made again on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent that such representations and warranties were expressly limited to another specific date, in which case they are true and correct as of such specific date);

9.Severability.  If any provision of this Eighth Amendment is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Eighth Amendment and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with legal, valid and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close

AMERICAS/2024667609.2


as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  
10.References.  All references to the “Credit Agreement” in the Credit Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement after giving effect to this Eighth Amendment.
11.Successors and Assigns.  This Eighth Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Agent and Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Credit Documents, and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3 of the Credit Agreement.
