7. Ratification. Except as expressly set forth herein, the terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a modification or waiver of any term or condition of the Loan Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, as amended hereby, and the other Loan Documents are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect and all Collateral encumbered by any of the Loan Documents will continue to secure, to the fullest extent possible, the payment and performance of all Obligations under or in respect of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
