Section 4. Grantors Remain Liable. Each Grantor hereby agrees that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Grantor shall assume full and complete responsibility for the prosecution, defense, enforcement or any other necessary or desirable actions in connection with its trademarks subject to a security interest hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument, and any party hereto may execute this Amendment by signing and delivering one or more counterparts.
Section 6. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles (but giving effect to federal laws relating to national banks).
