full force and effect in accordance with the respective terms thereof.

Loan Documents, not affected by this Amendment are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects, provided that if any provision
of the Loan Documents shall conflict or be inconsistent with this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall supersede and prevail.

and Expenses. Each Loan Party hereby reaffirms its agreement under the Loan Agreement to pay or reimburse Lender on demand for
all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Loan Documents, including without limitation all reasonable fees and
