This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

6

(g) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power, privilege, immunity, indemnity, limitation of liability, protection, or remedy of any party or person under any of the Relevant Agreements (as amended hereby), the Operative Agreements, or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, nor constitute a waiver of any provision contained therein.
(h) This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns or any other entity into which WTNA, as the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, and/or the Loan Trustee, may be merged or converted or with which it or they may be consolidated, or any corporation, association, or any other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which WTNA, as the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, and/or the Loan Trustee, shall be a party, or any entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust assets or business of WTNA, as the Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Facility Agent, the Mortgagee, the Subordination Agent, and/or the Loan Trustee, as applicable, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto and without the consent of any other party hereto.
