NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00), the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

 

 

 

1.           Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

 

2.           Initially Capitalized Terms. The initially capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to said terms in the Mortgage.

 

3.           Extension of Maturity. This Agreement evidences the extension of the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the Prior Note and the Loan Documents. Borrower has as of even date herewith executed and delivered to Lender its Amended and Restated Promissory Note (as amended, modified, restated, extended, increased, decreased or supplemented at any time or from time to time, the "Replacement Note") in the principal amount of $3,053,199.88, which is payable to the order of Lender, and which Replacement Note is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The Replacement Note shall mature on July 20, 2019, unless the maturity thereof is extended until July 20, 2024, as provided in and upon the terms and conditions of the Replacement Note and the Loan Agreement, as the same has been modified and amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement between Lender and Borrower, dated as of the date hereof (the "Loan Agreement Amendment").

 

4.           Amendment of Mortgage and Other Loan Documents. The Mortgage and other Loan Documents are hereby modified and amended in accordance with, and to reflect, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement. The term "Mortgage" as used in any of the Loan Documents shall mean and include without limitation this Agreement. The terms "Note," "Promissory Note," "Mortgage Note" or other terms of like meaning as used in any of the Loan Documents shall mean and include without limitation the Replacement Note. The term "Loan Agreement" as used in any of the Loan Documents shall mean and include without limitation the Loan Agreement as modified by the Loan Agreement Amendment.

 

5.           Representations and Warranties. Borrower affirms, warrants and represents that all the warranties and representations made by Borrower in the Mortgage and other Loan Documents are true and correct as though made as of the date hereof.

 

6.           Release. Borrower hereby releases Lender and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, of and from any and all past and present claims, demands, damages, causes, losses, expenses, actions and causes of action including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all known and unknown injuries and damages with respect to or arising out of (i) the transactions represented by the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument executed in conjunction with the financings provided for or contemplated in or by the Loan Documents and/or this Agreement and the other documents executed and/or delivered in conjunction with this Agreement (whether one or more, the "Credit Facilities"), (ii) the administration of the Credit Facilities or (iii) all matters in any manner related to the Credit Facilities. Borrower hereby expressly understands and agrees that this release and waiver extends to all claims of every nature whatsoever known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, existing, claiming to exist or which may hereafter arise out of or result from, or be connected with the matters and things covered as described herein relating to the Credit Facilities, in any manner. The rights and defenses being waived and released hereunder include without limitation any claim or defense based on the Lender having charged or collected interest at a rate greater than that allowed to be contracted for by applicable law; provided, however, that in no event shall such waiver and release be deemed a change to, or modify the terms of, the Loan Documents which provide that sums paid or received in excess of the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, as amended from time to time, shall reduce the principal sum due; said provision to be in full force and effect.

 

7.           Ratification. Except as herein modified and amended or as modified and amended by the other Loan Documents, including without limitation the Replacement Note, executed and/or delivered by Borrower in connection with the modifications made herein, the terms and conditions of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are hereby ratified and affirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

8.           No Novation. It is the intent of the parties that this instrument shall not constitute a novation and shall in no way adversely affect the lien priority of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the other Loan Documents create liens or grant security interests. In the event that this Agreement, or any part hereof, shall be construed by a court of competent jurisdiction as operating to affect the lien priority of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents over the claims which would otherwise be subordinate thereto, then to the extent so ruled by such court, and to the extent that third parties acquiring an interest in such property as is encumbered by the Mortgage or such other Loan Documents between the time of execution of the Mortgage and/or the other Loan Documents and the execution hereof are prejudiced thereby, this Agreement, or such portion hereof as shall be so construed, shall be void and of no force and effect and this Agreement shall constitute, as to that portion, a subordinate lien on the collateral described therein, incorporating by reference the terms of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, which then shall be enforced pursuant to the terms therein contained, independent of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto, as between themselves, shall be bound by all terms and conditions hereof until all indebtedness owing from the Borrower to Lender shall have been paid in full.

 

9.           Patriot Act Compliance. Borrower is not a person who at any time: (i) is listed in the Annex to Executive Order No. 13224, 66 Fed.

Reg. 49709 (Sept. 25, 2001) or the Patriot Act. On request from time to time by Lender, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender any such certification or other evidence as Lender shall reasonably require confirming that, to Lender's knowledge, no violation of this paragraph shall have occurred.

 

10.           Costs. Borrower shall pay all costs of the modification made hereby, to include without limitation attorneys' fees and recording fees, as well as the cost of an endorsement to Lender's title insurance policy insuring the lien of the Mortgage after the recording of this Agreement as a valid and subsisting first lien, subject only to such exceptions as are acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

In the event any such notice limiting the principal amount which may be secured by the Mortgage has been recorded, executed or delivered, then this Agreement shall also constitute a rescission of such notice, which notice, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be void and of no further force and effect.
