7.Borrower hereby ratifies, reaffirms, and confirms any and all covenants, agreements, or promises heretofore made by Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan, Note, or other Loan Documents, and all renewals thereof.
8.Xxxxxxxx agrees as a condition precedent to the execution hereof, to pay all fees, costs and expenses of Xxxxxx incurred in connection with the preparation and administration of this Renewal, including attorney’s fees.
9.It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that other parties, if any, who are liable in any part for the Obligations, but who are not hereby executing this Renewal, are in no way released or discharged from such Obligations, nor are Lender’s rights against such persons or entities waived or negatively impacted by the execution of this Renewal.
10.If any provision of this Renewal or application to any party or circumstance shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this
Renewal or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances, other than those as to which it is so determined invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each provision hereof shall be valid and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
