6.2Organization and Authority.  Borrower is a solvent corporation and is organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Michigan, has the power to own its property and to conduct its business as is now being conducted, and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect upon Borrower, including, but not by way of limitation, the State of Michigan.

All of the foregoing have been validly issued and are in full force and effect.  To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Borrower, after due investigation, no event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would permit, revocation or termination of any of the foregoing or which has had a Material Adverse Effect, or in the future may (so far as the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) have a Material Adverse Effect, on the rights of the Borrower.

10

 



 

6.6Environmental Compliance.  Except as has been disclosed to Bank in the Environmental Certificate and Environmental Indemnification Agreement dated of even date herewith, the Premises is in full compliance with all Environmental Laws.

6.10Restrictions.  Borrower is not a party to any contract or agreement, or subject to any charter or other  restriction (including, but not without limitation, any agreement among the Company and its shareholders) or any order of any Governmental Agency which would have a Material Adverse Effect on its business, properties or assets, or its condition, financial or otherwise, and the execution and performance of this Agreement will not result in the creation of any encumbrance or charge upon any assets of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of any other agreement or instrument.

6.11Non-Reliance.  The Bank has not undertaken to advise Borrower with respect to the adequacy of the financial accommodations herein set forth, but the financial accommodations are solely the decision of the Bank as to the type and amount of credit it is willing to extend and Borrower has made the decision, exclusive of any statements of the Bank, or any of its officers or employees, to accept the same without inducement and/or reliance upon the Bank and/or any of its officers and employees.

16.4Survival:  If any provision of the Loan Documents shall be held or deemed to be or shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any or all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever.
