The Loan Parties represent and warrant that they have no knowledge of any Claim by it against the Released Parties or of any facts or acts or omissions of the Released Parties which on the date hereof would be the basis of a Claim by the Loan Parties against the Released Parties which is not released hereby.

All references in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereto”, “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.
12. Severability. The provisions of this Amendment are severable, and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision in this Amendment in any jurisdiction.
