hereto and thereto, contains the entire and exclusive agreement of the parties
hereto with reference to the matters discussed herein and therein. This

Section 6.2 of the Guaranty.

prohibited by or invalid under any applicable law, such provision shall be

counsel) incurred in connection with the development, preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of this Amendment.

the written request of Lessor, the Guarantor shall, and shall cause Lessee to,
