      SECTION 9.8.      Successor Agent.

      SECTION 11.13.      Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION 11.14.      Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money loaned to the Borrower and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If due to any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations and other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Agent or any Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Indebtedness, until payment in full thereof, so that the actual rate of interest on account of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control every other provision of this Agreement and all agreements among the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders.



-39-


      SECTION 11.15.      Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lenders, supersedes any prior agreements among them, and shall bind and benefit the Borrower, and the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns. In the event that the terms of this Agreement or the Credit Documents conflict with the terms of the Interim Financing Order or the Permanent Financing Order, the terms of such Interim Financing Order or Permanent Financing Order, as applicable, shall govern and control.
