(b) Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede any other oral or written agreements or understandings.

(c) Course of Dealing: Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of Bank or its officers, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by Bank, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right. Bank’s failure at any time to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision shall not affect any right of Bank thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Bank.

(d) Legal Effect. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Amendment conflicts with applicable law, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Amendment, and the balance of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect. Unless otherwise defined, all capitalized terms in this Amendment shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.

(e) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
