(a) the execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of this Amendment and the Revolving Note are within the corporate powers of Borrower, have been duly authorized by all corporate action and require no action by or in respect of, consent of or filing or recording with, any governmental or regulatory body, agency or official or any other Person;

 

(b) the execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower of this Amendment and the Revolving Note do not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under or result in any violation of, the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation, Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws of such Borrower, any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory agency or instrumentality or any agreement, document or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or any of its Property or assets is bound or to which such Borrower or any of its Property or assets is subject;

 

-2-
 

  

(c) this Amendment and the Revolving Note have been duly executed and delivered by such Borrower and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and

12. ORAL OR UNEXECUTED AGREEMENTS OR COMMITMENTS TO LOAN MONEY, EXTEND CREDIT OR TO FORBEAR FROM ENFORCING REPAYMENT OF A DEBT INCLUDING PROMISES TO EXTEND OR RENEW SUCH DEBT ARE NOT ENFORCEABLE, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH IT IS BASED THAT IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. TO PROTECT YOU (BORROWER(S)) AND US (CREDITOR) FROM MISUNDERSTANDING OR DISAPPOINTMENT, ANY AGREEMENTS WE REACH COVERING SUCH MATTERS ARE CONTAINED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AS AMENDED BY THIS AMENDMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, WHICH ARE THE COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE STATEMENT OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN US, EXCEPT AS WE MAY LATER AGREE IN WRITING TO MODIFY THEM.

 

13. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Amendment to the contrary, this Amendment shall not be effective unless and until Bank shall have received:

 

(a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrowers; and

 

(b) such other agreements and other documents reasonably requested by Bank to complete the transactions contemplated herein.
