4.   CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower understands and agrees that in conditionally modifying the existing Obligations, PFG is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties and agreements as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Fourth Modification, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. PFG's agreement to modify the existing Obligations in no way shall obligate PFG to give any future consents or waivers or make any future modifications to the Obligations. Nothing in this Fourth Modification shall constitute a satisfaction of the Obligations or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default under the Existing Loan Documents. It is the intention of PFG and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers, if any, of the Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by PFG in writing. Unless expressly released herein, no maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Fourth Modification. The terms of this paragraph apply not only to this Fourth Modification, but also to all subsequent loan modification agreements.

(d)     this Fourth Modification has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and (i) constitutes the binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, moratorium or other similar laws of general application and equitable principles relating to or affecting creditors’ rights; (ii) does not conflict with any law or regulation or judgment or the Constitutional Documents of Borrower, or any agreement or document to which Borrower is a party or which is binding upon it or any of this assets; and (iii) does not require any authorization, approval, consent (including stockholder or member consent) of any Person, or any license or registration in any jurisdiction, for its lawful authorization, execution, performance, validity or enforceability, except to the extent such authorization, approval, consent (including stockholder or member consent) of any Person, license or registration is secured on or prior to the Fourth Modification Effective Date and provided to PFG;


 


(e)     as of the date hereof, with Knowledge that PFG is relying on Borrower’s representations and warranties herein (including the Representations) as a basis for entering into this Fourth Modification at Borrower’s request, Borrower has no defenses against its obligation to repay the Obligations and it has no claims of any kind against PFG.

(h)     Borrower hereby ratifies, confirms and reaffirms, all and singular, the terms and disclosures contained in the Representations dated as of the Fourth Modification Effective Date;


 


(i)     as of the Fourth Modification Effective Date, Borrower has not asserted any commercial tort claims against any Person and has no Knowledge of any basis for so doing; and


 


(j)     Except as expressly stated in this Fourth Modification, neither PFG nor any agent, employee or representative of PFG has made any statement or representation to Borrower regarding any fact relied upon by Borrower in entering into this Fourth Modification, (ii) Borrower has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Fourth Modification and all of the matters appertaining thereto, as it deems necessary, and (iii) the terms of this Fourth Modification are contractual and not a mere recital.
