4.8Severability.  Any provision of this Seventh Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
4.9Successors and Assigns.  This Seventh Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
4.10Term Loan Document.
