As a material inducement to Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Amendment, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall, except as expressly provided herein, in no way release, diminish, impair, reduce, or otherwise affect the obligations of such Person under the Loan Documents to which such Person is a party, (b) each Loan Document to which such Person is a party shall remain in full force and effect and shall each continue to be the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, and (c) it has no claims or offsets against, or defenses or counterclaims to, any of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7. Effect of Amendment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consent, waiver and modifications set forth herein shall be limited precisely as set forth above, and nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed (i) to constitute a waiver of compliance or consent to noncompliance by any of the Loan Parties to, or an amendment of, any other term, provision, condition or covenant of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents, other than as specifically set forth herein; or

(ii) to prejudice any right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may now have or may have in the future under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10. Execution in Counterparts. This 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 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. The signature of such Person thereon, for purposes hereof, is to be considered as an original signature, and the counterpart (or signature page thereto) so transmitted is to be considered to have the same binding effect as an original signature on an original document.

 

Section 11. Entirety. This Amendment and all of the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
