the Agent may accept and rely on facsimile transmissions of executed signature
pages of this Amendment.
(g) Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any

provision of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required hereunder
shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Amendment or any instrument or agreement required
