6.2.Except as specifically amended herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed in all respects. Borrower acknowledges that it has no claims, offsets or defenses with respect to the payment of sums due under the Notes or any other Loan Document.
6.3.The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Agents or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or constitute a waiver of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, except as specifically set forth herein.
7.Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay the fees and expenses of the Agents in connection with this Amendment in accordance with Section 12.2 of the Credit Agreement.
8.Execution in Counterparts. This 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 taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of the signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or electronic means (including as a .pdf or .tif document) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.
9.Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice-of-law rules (other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). If any court of competent jurisdiction in the state of New York determines any provision of this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed severed from the rest, which shall remain in full force and effect as though the invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been a part of the Loan Documents.
10.No Impairment; No Novation. Except as specifically hereby amended, the Loan Documents shall each remain unaffected by this Amendment and all Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. The execution and delivery of this Amendment is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a novation of any Loan Document.
11.Integration. The Loan Documents, including this Amendment: (a) integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned in or incidental to the Loan Documents; (b) supersede all oral negotiations and prior and other writings with respect to their subject matter; and (c) are intended by the parties as the final expression of the agreement with respect to the terms and conditions set forth in those documents and as the complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by the parties. If there is any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment and those of any other agreement or instrument, including any of the other Loan Documents, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment shall prevail.
