8. GOVERNING
LAW AND VENUE.
This
agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the
State of Illinois (without giving effect to its laws of conflicts). The Borrower
agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to any of its
obligations under the Note or this agreement may be brought by the Bank in
any
state or federal court located in the State of Illinois, as the Bank in its
sole
discretion may elect. By the execution and delivery of this agreement, the
Borrower submits to and accepts, for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.
The Borrower waives any claim that the State of Illinois is not a convenient
forum or the proper venue for any such suit, action or proceeding. This
agreement binds the Borrower and its successors, and benefits the Bank, its
successors and assigns. The Borrower shall not, however, have the right to
assign the Borrower's rights under this agreement or any interest therein,
without the prior written consent of the Bank.
9. COUNTERPART
EXECUTION.
This
agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when so
executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts, taken
together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
10. NOT
A NOVATION.
This
agreement is a modification only and not a novation. In addition to all amounts
hereafter due under the Note and the Related Documents as they may be modified
herein, all accrued interest evidenced by the Note being modified by this
agreement and all accrued amounts due and payable under the Related Documents
shall continue to be due and payable until paid. Except for the above-quoted
modification(s), the Note, any Related Documents, and all the terms and
conditions thereof, shall be and remain in full force and effect with the
changes herein deemed to be incorporated therein. This agreement is to be
considered attached to the Note and made a part thereof. This agreement shall
not release or affect the liability of any guarantor, surety or endorser of
the
2
Note
or
release any owner of collateral securing the Note. The validity, priority and
enforceability of the Note shall not be impaired hereby. References to the
Related Documents and to other agreements shall not affect or impair the
absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal
and
interest on the Note when due. The Bank reserves all rights against all parties
to the Note.
