SECTION 5.2Loan Document Pursuant to Loan Agreement.

SECTION 5.5Execution in Counterparts.

No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of signature delivered or provided in that manner as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
SECTION 5.6Entire Agreement. This Amendment, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether express or implied, oral or written.
