This provision shall survive and continue in full force and effect whether or not each Loan Party shall satisfy all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including payment in full of all Obligations.

Section 7.Effect; Relationship of Parties.
(a)
Except as expressly modified hereby or in connection herewith, the Financing Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect as originally written, and shall constitute the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Loan Parties to the Agents and Lenders, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Financing Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Financing Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Financing Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Financing Agreement as modified by this Agreement.
(b)
The relationship of the Agents and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, has been and shall continue to be, at all times, that of creditor and debtor and not as joint venturers or partners. Nothing contained in this Agreement, any instrument, document or agreement delivered in connection herewith or in the Financing Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed or construed to create a fiduciary relationship between or among the parties hereto or thereto.
Section 8.Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (any of which may be delivered by email or other electronic transmission), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement via email or other electronic transmission shall, upon the request by Administrative Agent, also deliver a manually executed original to Administrative Agent or its counsel, but the failure to do so does not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of this Agreement. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York
without regard to conflict of laws principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law) thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior oral or written negotiations, agreements and understandings of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 9.Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 10.Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
