The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in the Pledge Agreement.
SECTION 10. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Collateral Trustee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Trustee.
