11.Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which is to be deemed original for all purposes, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.Exculpation.  Section 13.1 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference.

13.Incorporation by Reference.  To the extent that any provisions or defined terms contained in any other Loan Document are used herein or incorporated herein by reference, and such other Loan Document is terminated or otherwise satisfied prior to the termination of this Agreement, then, for the avoidance of doubt, such provisions and/or defined terms shall survive until the payment in full of all of the Obligations under each Loan Document without regard to the fact that the Loan Document originally containing the same has been otherwise terminated or satisfied.

14.Miscellaneous.  The headings used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall be disregarded in interpreting the substantive provisions of this Amendment.  Time is of the essence of each term of the Loan Documents, including this Amendment. If any provision of this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from this Amendment and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable portion had never been a part thereof.  The Loan Documents (as modified by this Amendment), including this Amendment, contain or expressly incorporate by reference the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters contemplated therein and supersede all prior negotiations or agreements, written or oral.  The Loan Documents (as modified by this Amendment) shall not be modified except by written instrument executed by all parties. Any future reference to the Loan Documents shall include any amendments, renewals or extensions now or hereafter approved by Lender in writing.

15.GOVERNING LAW.  Section 14.19 of the Original Loan Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Amendment by reference.
