shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.



     SECTION 13. Tolling of Statutes of Limitations. The parties hereto agree that the
running of all statutes of limitation or doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of
action that any Forbearing Holder or the Agent may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce
