Initially capitalized terms used without definition herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Loan Agreement.

D. Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to the requested waiver, and amendments in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

4.6 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged, modified or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties required to be a party thereto pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

4.7 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or as a .pdf attachment), and by the different parties hereto on the same or separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original instrument but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile machine, portable document format (“PDF”) or other electronic means shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the applicable signatories. Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature. No party may raise the use of a telecopier, facsimile machine, PDF or other electronic means, or the fact that any signature was transmitted through the use of a telecopier, facsimile machine, PDF or other electronic means, as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement.

4.8 If any term or provision of this Agreement is adjudicated to be invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement which shall be given effect so far as possible.

4.9 THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ANY WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND NOTICE PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT.
