(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, going forward from the effective date of this Agreement, Guarantors shall not be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under this Agreement for any Losses to the extent that such Losses are due to the gross negligence, fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct, bad faith, misappropriation, or any criminal act of Guarantors.

4. If any term of this Agreement or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and any other application of such term shall not be affected thereby.
