of this Amendment or any of the agreements, instruments and other documents executed in connection herewith.

(d)    This Amendment and the Loan Agreement as amended hereby constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective terms except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity.

(c)    The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as an amendment to any right, power or remedy of the Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or constitute a waiver of or an amendment to any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

(d)    This Amendment constitutes a Loan Document.

SECTION 7.    Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
