4.No Waiver.

9.No Defenses. Borrowers acknowledge, confirm, and warrant to Agent and the Lenders that as of the date hereof Borrowers have absolutely no defenses, claims, rights of set-off, or counterclaims against Agent and/or the Lenders under, arising out of, or in connection with this Amendment, the Agreement, the Loan Documents and/or the Indebtedness.
10.Expenses. Borrowers shall promptly pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs, charges, expenses, and disbursements of Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of this Amendment, and the other documents contemplated by this Amendment.
11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
