10. Lien Status. This Amendment shall not release Borrower from any liability under the Loan Documents. This Amendment does not constitute the creation of a new debt or the extinguishment of the debt evidenced by the Note, nor does it in any way affect or impair the lien of the Loan Documents.

16. Counterparts. This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement.
