9.    To the extent that any provision of this Amendment is determined by any court or legislature to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or part either in a particular case or in all cases, such provision or part thereof is to be deemed surplusage. If that occurs, it does not have the effect of rendering any other provision of this Amendment invalid or unenforceable. This Amendment is to be construed and enforced as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or part thereof were omitted.

10.    This Amendment may only be changed or amended by a written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto.

13.    Borrowers agree to pay all attorneys' fees and other costs incurred by Lender or otherwise payable in connection with this Amendment (in addition to those otherwise payable pursuant to the Credit Documents), which fees and costs are to be paid as of the date hereof.

14.    This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed is deemed to be an original and all of which taken together constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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 facsimile or other electronic method of transmission 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.

15.    THE BORROWERS, FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR SUBSIDIARIES (IF ANY) AND THE CREDIT PARTIES AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR THE DEBT AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE EXECUTION OF THIS AMENDMENT.
