This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

The execution of this Agreement and delivery thereof by facsimile shall be sufficient for all purposes, and shall be binding upon any party who so executes.
Counterparts; Effectiveness This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Integration; Effectiveness This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent or any L/C Issuer, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Subject to Section 3.2.4, the Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders of the Registrable Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.
Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
Filing and Effectiveness The Company shall file a Registration Statement relating to any Demand Registration as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Notice, with the SEC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter and to remain effective for a period of time reasonably required for the disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. If any Demand Registration is requested to be effected as a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act by the Holders demanding such Demand Registration, the Company shall keep the Registration Statement filed in respect thereof effective for a period of six (6) months from the date on which the SEC declares such Registration Statement effective or such shorter period that will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Company shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Demand Notice, notify all other Holders in writing of the receipt of such Demand Notice and each such other Holder shall have the right to have all or a part of such Holder’s Registrable Securities included in such registration thereof by delivering a written notice (a “Participating Notice”) to the Company within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice from the Company (each Holder that delivers a Participating Notice to the Company pursuant to this Section 3(b), a “Participating Demand Holder”). Each Participating Demand Holder shall specify in the Participating Notice the number of Registrable Securities that such Participating Demand Holder elects to include in such registration and the Company shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities requested by the Participating Demand Holders for inclusion as specified in the Participation Notices.
