connection with Section 1.03 of the Agreement.

respects ratified and confirmed.
The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this amendment shall not, except as
expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of
the Lender under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of any of the Loan Documents.
