(c) Each Obligor has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is party and each such Loan Document is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Obligor, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, including materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
