Except as specifically amended herein, the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms, as amended prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date. Reference to this specific Fourth Amendment need not be made in the Credit Agreement, the Note, the Collateral Documents, the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or with respect to the Credit Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Credit Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

6.9 This Fourth Amendment shall not be construed more strictly against the Bank than against the Borrowers or the Guarantors merely by virtue of the fact that the same has been prepared by counsel for the Bank, it being recognized that the Borrowers, Guarantors and the Bank have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Fourth Amendment, and each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges and waives any claim contesting the existence and the adequacy of the consideration given by the other in entering into this Fourth Amendment.  Moreover, in consideration of the Bank’s agreement to refrain from amending and restating the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to the request of the Borrowers, this Fourth Amendment shall be construed in light most favorable to the Bank and any ambiguity herein shall be resolved in favor of the Bank.  Each of the parties to this Fourth Amendment represents that it has been advised by its respective counsel of the legal and practical effect of this Fourth Amendment, and recognizes that it is executing and delivering this Fourth Amendment, intending thereby to be legally bound by the terms and provisions thereof, of its own free will, without promises or threats or the exertion of duress upon it.  The signatories hereto state that they have read and understand this Fourth Amendment, that they intend to be legally bound by it and that they expressly warrant and represent that they are duly authorized and empowered to execute it.

6.10 Without in any way limiting any provision herein, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby indemnifies and hold harmless the Released Parties from, and shall pay to Lender, on behalf of and for the benefit of itself, or on behalf of and for the benefit of Released Parties, or any one of them, as the case may be, the amount of, or reimburse the Released Parties for, any Loss that the Released Parties or any of them may suffer, sustain, or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, or in any way relating to the pledge of the lost original stock certificate representing Borrower’s ownership of equity interests in The Female Health Company Limited pledged to Midland States Bank, as successor in interest to Heartland Bank, any replacement stock certificate issued in lieu therefor, and the pledge of such replacement stock certificate as Collateral for Borrower’s Obligations.  For the purposes of this Fourth Amendment,  "Loss" shall mean any cost, loss, liability, obligation, claim, cause of action, damage, deficiency, expense (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), fine, penalty, judgment, award, assessment, or diminution of value.

6.11 The recitals and all exhibits and schedules hereto constitute an integral part of this Fourth Amendment, evidencing the intent of the parties in executing this Fourth Amendment and describing the circumstances surrounding its execution.  Accordingly, the recitals, exhibits and schedules are, by this express reference, made a part of the covenants hereof, and this Fourth Amendment shall be construed in the light thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in this Fourth Amendment, capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as such terms have in the Existing Credit Agreement.
