(c)After giving effect to this Third Amendment, each Loan Party reaffirms each Lien granted by it to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors under each of the Security Documents to which it is a party, which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Third Amendment), and shall continue to secure the Secured Obligations (after giving effect to this Third Amendment), in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement (as amended by this Third Amendment), and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 7. Execution in Counterparts. This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.
SECTION 8. Successors. The terms of this Third Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure for the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 9. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS Third AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Section 12.08 of the Credit Agreement is incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.
