			(b)     The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) this Amendment, the Acknowledgment and any other Credit Documents executed and delivered in connection herewith do not constitute a novation, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Credit Documents) under the Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Amendment Effective Date; (ii) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended hereby) with only the terms thereof being modified to the extent expressly provided in this Amendment; and (iii) the Liens and security interests as granted under the Credit Documents securing payment of such “Obligations” are in all such respects continuing in full force and effect and secure the payment of the “Obligations.”
		

		
			(c)     On and after the Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import, shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement, and this Amendment and the Credit Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument.

			Section 3.5     Counterparts.     This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties to this Amendment in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.
