(ii) If Administrative Agent and/or Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower for the Loan obligations: (A) the amount of the indebtedness owed by any other Borrower hereunder may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Administrative Agent and Lenders may collect from any Borrower even if Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower.
(iii) The immediately preceding subparagraphs (i) and (ii) represent unconditional and irrevocable waivers of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the obligations are secured by real property.
(h) Without limiting the foregoing waivers and release contained in this Section 13.23:

(ii) Each Borrower agrees to make no claim on such indebtedness until all obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been fully discharged.
(iii) Each Borrower further agrees not to assign all or any part of any such indebtedness unless Administrative Agent is given prior notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Given all of the above, each Borrower does hereby represent and confirm to Administrative Agent and Lenders that each Borrower is fully informed regarding, and thoroughly understands: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Borrower, and (iv) the legal consequences to Borrower of waiving such defenses. Each Borrower acknowledges that all of the informed waivers herein shall be fully enforceable by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.
