NO WAIVER; DELAY. To be effective, any waiver by Administrative Agent must be expressed in a writing executed by Administrative Agent. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery and performance of this Supplement shall not act as a waiver of any Default or any right, power or remedy of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document or any other agreements and documents executed in connection herewith or therewith and shall not constitute a waiver of any provision thereof. If Administrative Agent waives any power, right or remedy arising hereunder or under any applicable law, THEN such waiver will not be deemed to be a waiver upon the later occurrence or recurrence of any events giving rise to the earlier waiver. No failure or delay by Administrative Agent to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Supplement or any other Loan Document, or to exercise any right, power or remedy hereunder or thereunder, will constitute a waiver of any such term, condition, covenants or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Administrative Agent from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan 8 Document, Administrative Agent will not be deemed to have waived the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts payable under a Loan Document or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect such prompt payment of any such other amount. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of each other, the remedies provided by law, and/or the remedies provided by the other Loan Documents. 14. MODIFICATION.

SEVERABILITY. If fulfillment of any provision hereof or any transaction related hereto or to the other Loan Documents at the time performance thereof shall be due shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then IPSO FACTO, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity. If any clause or provision herein contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Supplement or the Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be void, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Supplement and the Credit Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, if any such provision pertains to the repayment of any indebtedness under the Loan Documents, THEN the occurrence of any such invalidity shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. 18. COUNTERPARTS. This Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all the signatures on such counterparts appeared on one document; each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 19.
