15. Continued Effectiveness of the Loan Agreement.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Loan Agreement and the other

like import referring to the Loan Agreement shall mean the Loan Agreement as amended by this
Amendment and (ii) all references in the other Loan Documents to the “Loan Agreement”, “thereto”,
“thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Loan Agreement shall mean the Loan
Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

(b) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Amendment constitutes a
“Loan Document” under the Loan Agreement. Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the
Loan Agreement if any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party under or in connection with
this Amendment shall have been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect when made.

their respective Affiliates and each of the officers, directors, employees, and agents of each
Lender, each Agent and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Releasees”), from
any and all claims, suits, investigations, proceedings, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes
of action, damages, losses, costs and expenses, whether based in contract, tort, implied or express
warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law of any kind or character, known
or unknown, past or present, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected, which each Loan
Party ever had from the beginning of the world, or now has against any such Releasee which relates,
directly or indirectly to the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions
of any such Releasee, except for the duties and obligations set forth in this Amendment or the
other Loan Documents. As to each and every claim released hereunder, each Loan Party hereby
represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained
herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section
1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO
EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM, MUST HAVE
MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

As to each and every claim released hereunder, each Loan Party also waives the benefit of each
other similar provision of applicable federal or state law (including without limitation the laws
of the state of New York), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its
legal counsel with respect thereto.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a) This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different
parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile shall be equally as effective as delivery of an
original executed counterpart of this Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of
this Amendment by telefacsimile also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this
Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

only and shall not constitute a part of this Amendment for any other purpose.

(c) This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws
