Such an Advance shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds at Bank’s address referred to in Section 10.4.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Advances under the Loan in excess of the original principal amount of the Note, and all such amounts shall (i) be part of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Note, (ii) bear interest as provided herein, (iii) be payable upon demand by Bank, and (iv) be entitled to all rights and security as provided under the Loan Documents.

Each of Borrower and the Surety is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly qualified or licensed to transact business in all places where the failure to be so qualified would have a Material Adverse Effect on it. Each of Borrower and each other Person which is a party to any Loan Document (other than Bank) has the power to make and perform the Loan Documents executed by it and all such instruments will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Person, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to bankruptcy and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

The execution, delivery and performance thereof by Borrower and each other Person (other than Bank) executing any Loan Document have been duly authorized by all necessary action of such Person, and do not and will not violate any provision of law or regulation, or any writ, order or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory authority or agency or any provision of the governing instruments of such Person, and do not and will not, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, result in a breach of, or constitute a default or require any consent under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any property or assets of such Person pursuant to, any law, regulation, instrument or agreement to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or its respective properties may be subject, bound or affected.
4.3. Financial Condition. Other than as disclosed in financial statements delivered on or prior to the date hereof to Bank, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor (to the knowledge of Borrower) any Surety has any direct or contingent obligations or liabilities (including any guarantees or leases) or any material unrealized or anticipated losses from any commitments of such Person. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the financial condition of Borrower, Subsidiary or Surety, as the case may be, as of the date thereof. Borrower is not aware of any material adverse fact (other than facts which are generally available to the public and not particular to Borrower, such as general economic or industry trends) concerning the conditions or future prospects of Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Surety which has not been fully disclosed to Bank, including any adverse change in the operations or financial condition of such Person since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered to Bank. Each of Borrower and the Surety is Solvent, and after consummation of the transactions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan documents, Borrower and the Surety will be Solvent.

There are no suits or proceedings pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened, before any court or by or before any governmental or regulatory authority, commission, bureau or agency or public regulatory body against or affecting Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Surety, or their assets, which if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect on the financial condition or business of Borrower, such Subsidiary or such Surety.
4.5. Agreements, Etc. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, governmental decree or any charter or other corporate restriction, adversely affecting its business, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise), nor is any such Person in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party, or any law, regulation, decree, order or the like.

Except as noted herein, no approval, consent or authorization of, or filing or registration with, any governmental commission, bureau or other regulatory authority or agency is required with respect to the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document.
4.7. Intentionally Omitted.
