Any failure of Lender at any time to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision shall not affect any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance. Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by an officer of Lender.

V. Integration Clause.

The Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, and each of the other Loan Documents taken together constitute and contain the entire agreement among Borrowers and Lender and supersede any and all prior agreements, negotiations, correspondence, understandings and communications between the parties, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter hereof. NONE OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 MAY BE MODIFIED EXCEPT BY A WRITING SIGNED BY THE LENDER AND BORROWERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOAN AGREEMENT. Each provision hereof shall be severable from every other provision when determining its legal enforceability under this Amendment No. 1 and the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment No. 1, may be enforced to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. This Amendment No. 1 shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each party’s respective permitted successors and assigns. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in counterpart originals, all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same original document. In the event of any contradiction or inconsistency among the terms and conditions of this Amendment No. 1 or the Loan Agreement the terms and conditions of this Amendment No. 1 shall prevail.

VI. Miscellaneous.

Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment No. 1 shall be as defined in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment No. 1 shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Lender under the Loan Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. Except as amended hereby, the Loan Agreement remains unmodified and unchanged. This Amendment No. 1 may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Amendment No. 1 and any amendments or waivers hereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of facsimile, photocopy, scan by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, or any electronic signature valid under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. § 7001, et. seq such as DocuSign shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of signature delivered or provided in that manner as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense. The terms of Sections 10.14 (Governing Law) and 10.15 (Waivers and Jurisdiction) of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.
