If
Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan to Borrower, whether under
this
Agreement or under any other agreement, Lender shall have no obligation to

or any Guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or becomes insolvent, files a
petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings, or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C)

affect any of Borrower’s or any Grantor’s property or Borrower’s or any
Grantor’s ability to repay the Loans or perform their respective obligations
under this Agreement or any of the Related Documents.
False
Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to

the
time made or furnished or becomes false of misleading at any time
thereafter.

satisfactory to lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of
Default.
Change

Ownership. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of
the
common stock of Borrower.
