Section 14.                                    Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 19.                                    Entire Agreement.  THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE SECURED SWAP AGREEMENTS AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF, AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
