(B)                                this Third Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principals of equity;

 

(C)                                no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists as of the date of this Third Amendment.

counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Third Amendment to produce or account for more than one such counterpart for each of the parties hereto.  Delivery by facsimile by any of the parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Thir Amendment shall be effective as an original executed counterpart hereof and shall be deemed a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

 

(B)                                Headings.  The headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Third Amendment.

(D)                               Severability.  If any provision of any of this Third Amendment is determined to be illegal, invalid or enforceable, such provision shall be fully severable and the remaining provisions shall remain full force and effect and shall be construed without giving effect to the illegal, invalid or enforceable provisions.

(G)                                Continued Effectiveness.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the terms of this Third Amendment are not intended to and do not serve to effect a novation as to the Credit Agreement.  The parties hereto expressly do not intend to extinguish the Credit Agreement in any respect.  Instead, it is the express intention of the parties hereto to reaffirm the indebtedness created under the Credit Agreement and to confirm that the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, remains in full force and effect and is hereby reaffirmed in all respects.
