Section 7.Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts (any by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 8.Severability, Captions; Independence of Provisions. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

The Borrower hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that each of the Loan Documents remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed, in each case, as amended hereby. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this
Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document. The execution of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or Lenders, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations.
