Second Modification (collectively “Released Claims”). Without limiting the foregoing, the Released Claims shall include any and all liabilities or claims arising out of or in any manner whatsoever connected with or related to the Loan Documents, the Recitals hereto, any instruments, agreements or documents executed in connection with any of the foregoing or the origination, negotiation, administration, servicing and/or enforcement of any of the foregoing.

Borrower acknowledges that the release contained herein constitutes a material inducement to PFG to enter into this Second Modification, and that PFG would not have done so but for PFG’s expectation that such release is valid and enforceable in all events. Borrower hereby represents and warrants to PFG, and PFG is relying thereon, as follows: (i) except as expressly stated in this Second Modification, neither PFG nor any agent, employee or representative of PFG has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Second Modification, (ii) Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Second Modification and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary, (iii) the terms of this Second Modification are contractual and not a mere recital, (iv) this Second Modification has been carefully read by Borrower, the contents hereof are known and understood by Borrower, and this Second Modification is signed freely, and without duress, by Borrower, and (v) it is the sole and lawful owner of all right, title and interest in and to every claim and every other matter which it releases herein, and that it has not heretofore assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any person, firm or entity any claims or other matters herein released. Borrower shall indemnify PFG, defend and hold it harmless from and against all claims based upon or arising in connection with prior assignments or purported assignments or transfers of any claims or matters released herein.
