Section 14.            Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 15.            Electronic Execution of Assignments.  Loan Documents may be signed electronically. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or an amendment or other modification thereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms and shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

Section 16.            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery by fax or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by fax or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by fax or other electronic transmission.

 

Section 17.            No Waiver.  Except for and to the extent of the forbearance provided in Section 3 of this Agreement the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any Default of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents nor constitute a waiver of (or consent to departure from) any terms, provisions, covenants, warranties or agreements of any of the Loan Documents.  The parties hereto reserve the right to exercise any rights and remedies available to them in connection with any present or future breaches or defaults with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other provision of any Loan Document (other than the Anticipated Events of Default during the Forbearance Period).

 

Section 18.            Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and permitted assigns and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of each Secured Party hereunder, to the benefit of each Secured Party and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

 

Section 19.            Entire Agreement.  THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND ANY SEPARATE LETTER AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FEES PAYABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL

 

14
