NINTH AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT – Page 5
UNFORESEEN, AND WHETHER OR NOT HERETOFORE ASSERTED (“CLAIMS”), WHICH RELEASOR MAY HAVE OR CLAIM TO HAVE AGAINST ANY OF LENDER GROUP.
(b) Releasor covenants and agrees not to sue any member of Lender Group or in any way assist any other Person in suing Lender Group with respect to any claim released herein, including but not limited to claims arising out of or related to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders’ actions, omissions, statements, requests or demands in administering, enforcing, monitoring, collection or attempting to collect the Obligations of any Loan Party, which Obligations were evidenced by the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

§13. Execution in Counterparts. This Ninth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

This Ninth Amendment shall be deemed to be a contract made under and governed by and continued in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Texas applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within such state, provided that each party shall retain all rights arising under federal law. This Ninth Amendment shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
§15. Headings. Section headings in this Ninth Amendment are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Ninth Amendment for any other purpose.
§16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED BY THIS NINTH AMENDMENT, AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
