Any failure by the Borrower to comply with the mortgage requirements of Section 27.1 of this Ninth Amendment shall constitute an immediate Event of Default.  Any failure by the Borrower to comply with the title requirements of Section 27.2 of this Ninth Amendment shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, but instead the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as determined by the Required Lenders pursuant to Section 8.13(c).

Section 28.Representations and Warranties; Etc.  Each Obligor hereby affirms:  (a) that as of the date of execution and delivery of this Ninth Amendment, after giving effect to the terms of this Ninth Amendment, all of the representations and warranties made by it contained in each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects as though made on and as of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date (unless made as of a specific earlier date, in which case, was true and correct in all material respects as of such date); and (b) that after giving effect to this Ninth Amendment and to the transactions contemplated hereby, no Default exists or will exist under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

Any provision of this Ninth Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

29.5Successors and Assigns.  This Ninth Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
