13. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Amendment shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Amendment.
14. Reaffirmation. Each Obligor as debtor, grantor, pledgor, guarantor, assignor, or in other any other similar capacity in which such Obligor grants liens or security interests in its property or otherwise acts as accommodation party or guarantor, as the case may be, hereby (i) ratifies and reaffirms all of its payment and performance obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party (after giving effect hereto) and (ii) to the extent such Obligor granted liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Transaction Document as security for or otherwise guaranteed the Obligations under or with respect to the Transaction Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such guarantee and grant of security interests and liens and confirms and agrees that such security interests and liens hereafter secure all of the Obligations as amended hereby. Each Obligor hereby consents to this Amendment and acknowledges that each of the Transaction Documents remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Agent or Purchasers, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents or serve to effect a novation of the Obligations.
15. Waiver of Claims. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has no offsets, defenses, causes of action, suits, damages, claims, or counterclaims against Agent, any Purchaser, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) with respect to the Obligations, the Transaction Documents, any Collateral for the Obligations, or any contracts, promises, commitments or other agreements related to the Transaction Documents, and that if any Obligor now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, causes of action, suits, damages, claims, or counterclaims against one or more of the Released Parties, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, from the beginning of the world through this date and through the time of execution of this Amendment, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED, and each Obligor and the Company hereby RELEASES the Released Parties from any liability therefor.
