No failure to exercise, or delay by the Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Amendment and the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exhaustive of each other or of any right or remedy provided by law or equity or otherwise.

22. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. The Bank shall not be under any obligation to marshall any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that a payment or payments are made to the Bank or the Bank enforces any of its liens, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Borrowers, or any of them, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of any such restoration, the obligation or part thereof and any lien relating thereto originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement had not occurred.

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

26. Binding Agreement. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrowers and the Bank and their respective heirs, successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrowers may not assign any of their rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Bank.
