SECTION 7.  Counterparts.  This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

 

SECTION 8.  Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall be effective as of the date hereof when the Administrative Agent shall have received from the Borrower and each of the Lenders a counterpart hereof signed by such party or facsimile or other written confirmation (in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) that such party has signed a counterpart hereof.
