Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) agrees that it has no defenses against the obligations to pay any amounts under the Indebtedness. 7. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness, Lender is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements, as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Lender's agreement to modifications to the existing Indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Lender to make any future modifications to the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Lender and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Lender in writing. No maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan Modification Agreement. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements. 8. CONDITIONS. The effectiveness of this Loan Modification Agreement is conditioned upon the following: 1. Borrower's payment of the Loan Fee; 2. Lender receives an Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note issued and delivered by Borrower in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference payable to the order of Lender in the maximum principal amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (which Amended and Restated Revolving Promissory Note is sometimes referred to herein as the "Replacement Promissory Note"); and 3. Borrower's delivery to Lender of such other documents deemed necessary by Lender. 9. REPLACEMENT PROMISSORY NOTE. (a) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender on the date hereof the Replacement Promissory Note in substitution for and not satisfaction of, the issued and outstanding Revolving Promissory Note and the Replacement Promissory Note shall be the "Revolving Promissory Note" for all purposes of the Loan Documents. The Replacement Promissory Note shall not operate as a novation of the Obligations of Borrower, or nullify, discharge, or release any such Obligations or the continuing contractual relationship of the Borrower in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. All references in the Loan Documents to the "Revolving Promissory Note" shall be deemed to refer to the Replacement Promissory Note. 2 This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written above.
