(a)This Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party, in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).  The Credit Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party, in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).
