This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreement and understanding between the parties.

Notice Required by Section 432.047 R.S. Mo. ORAL AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THIS WRITING, WHICH IS THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY IT.

     15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

     16. Consent. Borrower hereby consents to Assignor’s assignment of the Term Loans, the Loan Agreement, the Term Notes, and the other Transaction Documents to Assignee pursuant to terms and conditions hereof.

     17. Further Assurances. All parties hereto shall fully cooperate with each other, and shall promptly execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as is reasonably requested of it for the purposes of evidencing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
