(b)           This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile, telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

(c)           The failure to comply with the covenants contained herein shall constitute an Event of Default under the Master Agreement; and all obligations included in this Amendment (including, without limitation, all obligations for the payment of principal, interest, fees, and other amounts and expenses) shall constitute obligations under the Master Agreement.
