Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall apply to all extensions, renewals, refinancings or modifications, if any, of the Loans. The Administrative Agent agrees to record, no later than thirty (30) days after the termination of this Agreement, a satisfaction of this Agreement (in form and substance acceptable to Company) with the Racine County Register of Deeds.

9. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may only be amended by a writing executed by both the Company and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which when taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
