(d) neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Third Amendment or the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby, nor the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein or therein, will violate any Law or conflict with any Organization Documents of the Borrower, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any of it property is subject; and
(e) no authorization, approval, consent, or other action by, notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person not previously obtained is required for (i) the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower, of this Third Amendment or (ii) the acknowledgement by each Guarantor of this Third Amendment.

7. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. For purposes of this Third Amendment, a counterpart hereof (or signature page thereto) signed and transmitted by any Person party hereto to the Administrative Agent (or its counsel) by facsimile machine, telecopier or electronic mail is to be treated as an original.
