9. REAFFIRMATION
This Amendment shall be incorporated into and made part of the Loan Agreement. Except as
expressly modified by the terms hereof, all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, and
all of the other Loan Documents, are hereby reaffirmed and shall continue in full force and effect
as therein written.
10. RELEASE
As further consideration for the agreement of Bank to enter into this Amendment, each Borrower
hereby waives, releases, and discharges Bank, all affiliates of Bank and all of the directors,
officers, employees, attorneys and agents of Bank and all affiliates of such Persons, from any and
all known claims, demands, actions or causes of action existing as of the date hereof, arising out
of or in any way relating to this Amendment, the Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents and/or any
documents, agreements, instruments, dealings or other matters connected with this Amendment, the
Loan Agreement, the Loan Documents or the administration thereof.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 Integrated Agreement. The Loan Documents and this Amendment shall be construed as
integrated and complementary of each other, and as augmenting and not restricting Bank’s rights,
remedies and security. If, after applying the foregoing, an inconsistency still exists, the
provisions of this Amendment shall control.
11.2 Severability. Any provision hereof, or of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be, as to such jurisdiction,
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
11.3 Non-Waiver. No omission or delay by Bank in exercising any right or power under
this Amendment, or the Loan Documents or any related agreement will impair such right or power or
be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any
single or partial exercise of any such right or power will not preclude other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver will be valid unless in writing and
signed by Bank and then only to the extent specified. Bank’s rights and remedies are cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued singly, successively or together.
11.4 Headings. The headings of any paragraph of this Amendment are for convenience
only and shall not be used to interpret any provision of this
Amendment.
11.5 Survival. All warranties, representations and covenants made by Borrowers herein,
or in any agreement referred to herein or on any certificate, document or other instrument
delivered by it or on its behalf under this Amendment, shall be considered to have been relied upon
by Bank. All statements in any such certificate or other instrument shall constitute warranties and
representations by Borrower hereunder. All warranties, representations, and covenants made by
Borrowers hereunder or under any other agreement or instrument shall be deemed continuing until
the Obligations are indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full.
13
11.6 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of Borrowers and Bank, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that
Borrowers may not assign any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of Bank, and
any such assignment made without such consent will be void.
11.7 Governing Law. This Amendment, the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be
deemed contracts made under the laws of the State of the Jurisdiction and shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of said state (excluding its conflict of laws provisions if
such provisions would require application of the laws of another jurisdiction) except insofar as
the laws of another jurisdiction may, by reason of mandatory provisions of law, govern the
perfection, priority and enforcement of security interests in the Collateral.
11.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH BORROWER BY EXECUTION HEREOF
AND BANK BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR
ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AMENDMENT OR THE LOAN
AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN)
OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO BANK TO
ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AMENDMENT.
11.9 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 an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or pdf shall be
deemed to be an original signature hereto.
