(d)    The representations, warranties and certifications made by Original Borrower and Borrower set forth herein are given to induce Lender to grant the consent set forth in Paragraph 4 above, with the knowledge that Lender will rely upon the truth of the statements made herein.
7.    Further Assurances. Original Borrower and Borrower, upon request from Lender, agree to execute such other and further documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated herein or to perfect the liens and security interests intended to secure the payment of the Loan evidenced by the Note; provided that no such other and/or further documents shall increase the obligations of Original Borrower and/or Borrower or decrease the rights of Original Borrower and/or Borrower. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, at any time and from time to time, to file such financing statements and/or financing statement amendments on behalf of Borrower without Borrower's signature as Lender, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable.
8.    Remedies. Original Borrower and Borrower each agree to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred as a result of any representation or warranty made by Original Borrower or Borrower (each as to itself only) herein proving to be untrue in any material respect. If Borrower shall fail to keep or perform any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or if any statement, representation or warranty by Borrower contained herein is false, misleading or erroneous in any material respect, Borrower shall be deemed to be in default under the Mortgage, and Lender shall be entitled at its option to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or any of the other Loan Documents or Assumption Documents or to which Lender may otherwise be entitled, whether at law or in equity.
9.    Title Insurance. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery hereof, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Lender a (i) Modification Endorsement and (ii) Date Down




Endorsement of Loan Policy of Title Insurance No. 102121 insuring the lien of the Mortgage and otherwise being in form and content acceptable to Lender.
10.    Other Provisions Unchanged. Except as specifically provided herein, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect. Any modification herein of the Loan Documents shall in no way affect the security of the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents for the payment of the Note. The Loan Documents as modified and amended hereby are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. All liens, security interests, mortgages and assignments granted or created by or existing under the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents remain unchanged and continue, unabated, in full force and effect, to secure Borrower's obligation to repay the Note.
11.    Lien Status. Original Borrower and Borrower each hereby acknowledge and agree that the security title, liens, security interests and assignments created and evidenced by the Mortgage and the assignment created by the Assignment of Leases are valid and subsisting and further acknowledge and agree that there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases or any of the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the Indemnity shall each be deemed to be a Loan Document.
12.    Acknowledgement of Assignment of Leases. Original Borrower and Borrower each hereby acknowledge and agree that Lender may exercise its rights relating to the Rents (as defined in the Assignment of Leases), in Lender's sole discretion and without prejudice to any particular remedy, otherwise allowed by applicable law.
13.    Merger. This Agreement supersedes and merges all prior and contemporaneous promises, representations and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. No modification of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases, the Indemnity or any of the other Loan Documents or Assumption Documents, or any waiver of rights under any of the foregoing, shall be effective unless made by supplemental agreement, in writing, executed by Lender and Borrower. Lender, Original Borrower and Borrower further agree that this Agreement 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 Agreement or otherwise.
14.    Notices. All notices, reports, requests or other written instruments required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, signed by the party giving or making the same, and shall be sent hand-delivered, effective upon receipt, sent by United States Express Mail or by a nationally recognized overnight courier, effective upon receipt, or sent by United States registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested, deemed effective on the earlier of the day of actual delivery as shown by the addressee's return receipt or the expiration of three (3) business days after the date of mailing, addressed to the party intended to receive the same at the address set forth below or at such other address as shall be given in writing by any party to another:

21.    Governing Law.
