6.Ratification, Reaffirmation and Confirmation of Loan Documents. Borrower agrees to perform each and every obligation under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms and conditions. It is expressly understood that Lender will hereafter require performance of any and all terms, conditions, or requirements of all documents, instruments and agreements executed by Borrower or relating to the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any performance or nonperformance of the Loan Documents prior to the date hereof does not affect or diminish in any way the requirement of compliance with the Loan Documents. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that the validity or priority of the liens and security interests evidenced by any of the Loan Documents are not diminished in any way by this Amendment. The Loan Documents and the agreements and obligations of Borrower thereunder are hereby ratified, brought forward, renewed and extended until the Loan shall have been fully paid and discharged. Borrower hereby ratifies, affirms, reaffirms, acknowledges, confirms and agrees that the Loan Documents represent the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that this Amendment and the other Loan Documents are in full force and effect. Borrower specifically extends the liens and security interests of the Loan Documents and agrees that the Loan Documents (i) shall cover the Loan, and (ii) shall continue to be in full force and effect until the Loan is paid in full and all other obligations under the Loan Documents are fully performed and satisfied. Borrower hereby agrees that this Amendment in no-way acts as a diminishment, impairment, release or relinquishment of the liens, power, title, security interest and rights securing or guaranteeing payment of the Loan. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver of any rights, remedies, or recourses available to Lender with respect to any default by Borrower under this Amendment or any of the Loan Documents, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided herein, Lender hereby preserves all of its rights against Borrower and all collateral securing the Loan.
7.Effect of Amendment. This Amendment shall be deemed to form a part of the Loan Documents, and shall not prejudice any present or future rights, remedies or powers belonging or accruing to Lender under the Loan Documents, nor impair the liens of the security instruments securing the Loan, or the priority thereof.

8.Further Acts and Assurances. Borrower agrees to do any act or execute any additional documents requested by Lender as may reasonably be required by Lender to effectuate the purposes of this Amendment.
9.Governing Law/Severability. This Amendment shall in all respects be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, as if it was a part of the Loan Agreement. In the event one or more provisions of the Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected.
10.No Legal Restrictions on Performance. The execution and delivery of this Amendment and compliance with the provisions hereof, will not conflict with, or constitute a breach of or a default under any document, agreement or other instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.
11.Future Modifications. Neither this Amendment, nor any term or provision hereof, may be changed, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge or termination is sought.
12.Terms Generally. Each definition contained in this Amendment shall apply equally to both the singular and plural form of the term defined. Each pronoun shall include the masculine, the feminine and neuter form, which ever is appropriate to the context. The words "included", "includes" and "including" shall each be deemed to be followed by the phrase, "without limitation." The words, "herein", "hereby", "hereof', and "hereunder" shall each be deemed to refer to this entire Amendment and not to any particular Section hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any law is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term defined in it, such broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment. Where a defined term derives its meaning from a statutory reference, any regulatory definition is broader than the statutory reference and any reference or citation to a statute or regulation shall be deemed to include any amendments to that statue or regulation and judicial and administrative interpretations of it.
13.Documentation Requirements, Sufficiency of Consents and Approvals. Each written instrument required by this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents to be furnished to Lender shall be duly executed by the person or party specified (or where no particular person or party is specified, by such person or party as Lender shall require), duly acknowledged where required by Lender; shall be furnished to Lender in one or more copies as required by Lender; and shall in all respects be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.
14.Evidentiary Requirements. Where evidence of the existence or non-existence of any circumstance or condition is required by this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents to be furnished to Lender, such evidence shall in all respects be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and the duty to furnish such evidence shall not be considered satisfied until Lender shall have acknowledged in writing that it is satisfied therewith.
15.Number, Order and Captions Immaterial. The numbering, order and captions or headings of the several articles, sections and paragraphs of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing such instruments.
16.Countemarts. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in one or more counterparts and on separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original of this Amendment, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Amendment.
