The Amendment Documents each Borrower Party executes or under which such Borrower Party is obligated constitute such Borrower Party's legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as amended by the Amendment Documents, subject to (i) the effect of any Applicable Bankruptcy Law, or (ii) general principles of equity.

 

3.2.2.     No Violation; No Consent. Each Borrower Party's execution, delivery and performance of the Amendment Documents, and compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, as amended by the Amendment Documents, will not (i) contravene any Applicable Law, (ii) conflict or be inconsistent with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the Property or such Borrower Party's other assets pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which such Borrower Party is a party or by which such Borrower Party or any of the Property or such Borrower Party's other assets is bound or may be subject, or (iii) violate any term of any Borrower Party's certificate of incorporation or other documents and agreements governing such Borrower Party's existence, management or operation.

Borrower has not received notice from any Governmental Authority alleging that any Borrower Party or the Property is violating any Applicable Law.
