3.2.2.    No Violation; No Consent. Borrower's execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment, and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, as amended by this Amendment, will not (i) contravene any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the Property or Borrower's other assets pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of the Property or Borrower's other assets is bound or may be subject, or (iii) violate any term of Borrower's certificate of incorporation or other documents and agreements governing Borrower's existence, management or operation.

Each Borrower Party (i) is solvent, (ii) is not bankrupt, and (iii) has no outstanding liens, suits, garnishments, bankruptcies or court actions which may render such Borrower Party insolvent or bankrupt.

3.2.5.    No Default. No Event of Default currently exists or would exist after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Amendment.

4.     MISCELLANEOUS.

4.1.    Effect of Amendment. The terms of this Amendment shall be incorporated into and form a part of the Loan Agreement. Except as expressly amended, modified and supplemented by this Amendment, the Loan Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its original stated terms, all of which are hereby reaffirmed in every respect as of the Effective Date. In the event of any irreconcilable inconsistency between the terms of this Amendment and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of this Amendment shall control and govern, and the agreements shall be interpreted so as to carry out and give full effect to the intent of this Amendment. All references to the Loan Agreement appearing in any of the Loan Documents shall hereafter be deemed references to the Loan Agreement as amended, modified and supplemented by this Amendment.

4.2.    No Course of Dealing; Past Acceptance. This Amendment shall not establish a course of dealing or be construed or relied upon as evidence of any willingness on Lender's part to grant any future consent or amendment, should any be requested. Lender acknowledges that Lender and its agents in the past may have

accepted, without exercising the remedies to which Lender was entitled, payments and performance by Borrower that constituted Events of Default under the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that no such acceptance or grace granted by Lender or its agents in the past, or Lender's agreement to the modifications evidenced hereby, has in any manner diminished Lender's right in the future to insist that Borrower Parties strictly comply with the terms of the Loan Documents, as modified by the terms of this Amendment. Furthermore, Borrower specifically acknowledges that any future grace or forgiveness of any Events of Default shall not constitute a waiver or diminishment of any right of Lender with respect to any future Event of Default, whether or not similar to any Event of Default with respect to which Lender has in the past chosen, or may in the future choose, not to exercise all of the rights and remedies granted to it under the Loan Documents.

4.3.    Release. Borrower hereby releases, remises, acquits and forever discharges Lender and any co-lender or loan participant, together with their respective employees, agents, representatives, consultants, attorneys, fiduciaries, servants, officers, directors, partners, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations, and related corporate divisions (all of the foregoing the "Released Parties"), from any and all actions and causes of action, judgments, executions, suits, liens, debts, claims, counterclaims, defenses, demands, liabilities, obligations, damages and expenses of any and every character (collectively, "Claims"), known or unknown, direct or indirect, at law or in equity, of whatsoever kind or nature, whether heretofore or hereafter accruing, for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the Effective Date, and in any way directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way connected to this Amendment or the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions associated therewith, or the Property, including specifically but not limited to claims of usury, lack of consideration, fraudulent transfer and lender liability, that it now has or may hereafter have against any Released Party, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and each other Released Party for all Claims that any Person may bring against any such Released Party that arise under or in connection with the Loan Agreement based on facts existing on or before the Effective Date. THE FOREGOING RELEASE INCLUDES ACTIONS AND CAUSES OF ACTION, JUDGMENTS, EXECUTIONS, SUITS, DEBTS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, DAMAGES AND EXPENSES ARISING AS A RESULT OF THE NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ONE OR MORE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES.

4.4.    Ratification and Affirmation. Borrower hereby acknowledges the terms of this Amendment and ratifies and affirms its obligations under, and acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under, each Loan Document to which it is a party and agrees that each Loan Document to which it is a party remains in full force and effect.

4.5.    No Modification. This Amendment along with the Loan Documents supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous promises and agreements. No modification of this Amendment or any other Loan Document, or any waiver of rights under any of the foregoing, shall be effective unless made by supplemental agreement, in writing, executed by the Parties. The Parties further agree that the Loan Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, may not in any way be explained or supplemented by a prior, existing or future course of dealings between the Parties or by any prior, existing, or future performance between the Parties pursuant to this Amendment, the Loan Agreement or otherwise.

4.6.    Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Amendment are for convenience of reference only and will not affect the scope or meaning of the sections of this Amendment.

4.7.    Applicable Law. This Amendment and the rights and obligations of Borrower and Lender are in all respects governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the Governing Law (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law), except for those terms of the Security Instruments pertaining to the creation, perfections, validity, priority or foreclosure of the liens or security interests on the Property located within the State, which terms will be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State (without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law).

4.8.    Counterparts; Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all signers executed the same instrument. All counterparts of this Amendment must

be construed together and will constitute one instrument. This Amendment is a Loan Document. Time is of the essence with respect to this Amendment. The Parties acknowledge and confirm that each of their respective attorneys has participated or has had the opportunity to participate jointly in the review and revision of this Amendment and that it has not been written solely by counsel for one party. The Parties therefore stipulate and agree that the rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to or may be resolved against the drafting Party will not favor either Party against the other. The terms and provisions of this Amendment are binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns.

4.9.    Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including Attorneys' Fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
