Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may be repaid and reborrowed at any time prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Advances under this Section 2.1(a) shall be immediately due and payable. Borrower may prepay any Advances without penalty or premium.
(b) Whenever Borrower desires an Advance, Borrower will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no later than 3:30 p.m. Eastern time, on the Business Day that the Advance is to be made. Each such notification shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. Bank is authorized to make Advances under this Agreement, based upon instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank’s discretion such Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount of Advances made under Section 2.1 to Borrower’s deposit account.
2.2 Overadvances. If the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances exceeds the lesser of the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base at any time, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank, in cash, the amount of such excess.
2.3 Interest Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), the Advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding Daily Balance thereof, at a rate equal to one and one half percent (1.50%) above the Prime Rate.
(b) Default Rate. If any payment is not made within ten (10) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay Bank a late fee equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the amount of such unpaid amount or (ii) the maximum amount permitted to be charged under applicable law. All Obligations shall bear interest, from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at a rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the interest rate applicable immediately prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default.
(c) Payments. Borrower promises to pay to the order of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions made by Bank to Borrower hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof. Borrower shall also pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof. Interest hereunder shall be due and
8
payable on the first calendar day of each month during the term hereof. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, Bank shall, at its option, charge such interest, all Bank Expenses, and all Periodic Payments against any of Borrower’s deposit accounts or against the Revolving Line, in which case those amounts shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. Any interest not paid when due shall be compounded by becoming a part of the Obligations, and such interest shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate then applicable hereunder. All payments shall be free and clear of any taxes, withholdings, duties, impositions or other charges, to the end that Bank will receive the entire amount of any Obligations payable hereunder, regardless of source of payment.
(d) Computation. In the event the Prime Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the applicable rate of interest hereunder shall be increased or decreased, effective as of the day the Prime Rate is changed, by an amount equal to such change in the Prime Rate. All interest chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. The Bank shall deliver written notice of any such change in the Prime Rate within 5 days of any such change.
2.4 Crediting Payments. Bank shall credit a wire transfer of funds, check or other item of payment to such deposit account or Obligation as Borrower specifies, provided that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the receipt by Bank of any wire transfer of funds, check, or other item of payment shall be immediately applied to conditionally reduce Obligations, but shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment is of immediately available federal funds or unless and until such check or other item of payment is honored when presented for payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any wire transfer or payment received by Bank after 3:30 p.m. Eastern time shall be deemed to have been received by Bank as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day. Whenever any payment to Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due (except by reason of acceleration) on a date that is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as the case may be, shall accrue and be payable for the period of such extension.
2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank the following:
(a) Facility Fee. A one-time fee equal to $40,000, payable in ten equal monthly installments of $4,000 on the first day of each month, beginning on the first day of the month immediately following the Closing Date, all of which fee shall be nonrefundable; and

Borrower shall direct all customers to mail or deliver all checks or other forms of payment for amounts owing to Borrower in respect of Media Accounts to a post office box designated by Bank, over which Bank shall have exclusive and unrestricted access. Bank shall collect the mail delivered to such post office box, open such mail, and endorse and credit all items to the Lock Box Account. Borrower shall direct all customers or other persons owing money to Borrower in respect of Media Accounts who make payments by electronic transfer of funds to wire such funds directly to the Lock Box Account. Borrower shall hold in trust for Bank all amounts that Borrower receives in respect of Media Accounts despite the direction to make payment to the post office box or Lock Box Account, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the customer, with proper endorsement for deposit into the Lock Box Account. Borrower irrevocably authorizes Bank to transfer to the Lock Box Account any funds received in respect of Media Accounts that have been deposited into any other accounts or that Bank has received by wire transfer, check, cash or otherwise. Bank shall have all right, title and interest in all of the items from time to time in the Lock Box Account and their proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any person claiming through Borrower shall have any right or control over the use of, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Lock Box Account, which shall be under the sole control of Bank. On a daily basis, Bank shall apply all funds in the Lock Box Account to the outstanding balance of Obligations, and shall transfer any remaining balance to Borrower’s operating account with Bank.

Borrower agrees to pay to Bank the amount of such increase in cost, reduction in income or additional expense as and when such cost, reduction or expense is incurred or determined, upon presentation by Bank of a statement of the amount and setting forth Bank’s calculation thereof, all in reasonable detail, which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error.

(e) Set off and apply to the Obligations any and all (i) balances and deposits of Borrower held by Bank, or (ii) indebtedness at any time owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower held by Bank; provided, however, that such right shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement.
(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell (in the manner provided for herein) the Collateral. Bank is hereby granted a license or other right, solely pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank’s benefit;
(g) Dispose of the Collateral by way of one or more contracts or transactions, for cash or on terms, in such manner and at such places (including Borrower’s premises) as Bank determines is commercially reasonable, and apply any proceeds to the Obligations in whatever manner or order Bank deems appropriate;
(h) Bank may credit bid and purchase at any public sale; and
19
(i) Any deficiency that exists after disposition of the Collateral as provided above will be paid immediately by Borrower.
9.2 Power of Attorney.

The appointment of Bank as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and each and every one of Bank’s rights and powers, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until all of the Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions hereunder is terminated.
9.3 Accounts Collection. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Bank may notify any Person owing funds to Borrower of Bank’s security interest in such funds and verify the amount of such Account. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, Borrower shall collect all amounts owing to Borrower for Bank, receive in trust all payments as Bank’s trustee, and immediately deliver such payments to Bank in their original form as received from the account debtor, with proper endorsements for deposit.
9.4 Bank Expenses. If Borrower fails to pay any amounts or furnish any required proof of payment due to third persons or entities, as required under the terms of this Agreement, then Bank may do any or all of the following after reasonable notice to Borrower (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof; (b) set up such reserves under a loan facility in Section 2.1 as Bank deems necessary to protect Bank from the exposure created by such failure; or (c) obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type discussed in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, and take any action with respect to such policies as Bank deems prudent. Any amounts so paid or deposited by Bank shall constitute Bank Expenses, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the then applicable rate hereinabove provided, and shall be secured by the Collateral. Any payments made by Bank shall not constitute an agreement by Bank to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by Bank of any Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices, Bank shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause; (c) any diminution in the value thereof; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other person whomsoever. All risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
9.6 Remedies Cumulative. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. Bank shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by Bank of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by Bank of any Event of Default on Borrower’s part shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by Bank shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. No waiver by Bank shall be effective unless made in a written document signed on behalf of Bank and then shall be effective only in the
20
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.
9.7 Demand: Protest. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by Bank on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
10. NOTICES.

Litigation
Santa Fe Technology v. Argus Networks, Inc. (predecessor to xxxxxxx.xxx, Inc.)
During 1998, in connection with the preparation of a bid on a federal traffic-monitoring contract, the Company was engaged in negotiations to purchase another company and those discussions were subsequently terminated in February 1999. In July 1999, the target company filed a civil suit claiming a right to the lost opportunity represented by the federal contract. Counsel has been engaged and, despite the multiple years that have elapsed since the case was filed, it is still in the discovery stage with some depositions scheduled for January 2004. In connection with this matter, the Company and certain individuals have filed a countersuit.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx v. Mobility Technologies, Inc., et al
In June 2001, the Company’s CEO was terminated. His letter of employment included a negotiated six-month severance. The Company complied with the terms of that letter. Xxxxxxx subsequently filed suit seeking unspecified damages. The court dismissed the suit and noted the arbitration clause that was part of Xxxxxxx’x employment paperwork. An arbitrator has been agreed upon by the parties and discovery requests have been exchanged. Xxxxxxx left the Delaware Valley and returned to Boston to become assistant manager of a television station there in March 2003. We understand that he is no longer employed by that station as of November 2003. The Company’s D&O insurance carrier has been advised of the matter. No accrual has been made in the financial statements.
Newscopters of America, Inc. v. Mobility Technologies, Inc.
In order to support contractual commitments to certain broadcasters in Dallas, TX, the Company entered into an agreement with an aviation service (headquartered in Florida) to provide aerial surveillance, including camera images. The aviation service failed dramatically (unable to fly due to equipment failures, unable to provide camera images or radio transmissions, grounded by the FAA, etc.) and the Company terminated the contract for non-performance. Subsequently, the vendor filed suit in Florida for the full future value of the contract. Significant precedents exist that indicate the suit is without any merit. Counsel was engaged and filed a request for dismissal of the entire matter and for removal to Federal court. In addition, the Company is preparing a countersuit to recover the additional costs incurred to service the contract and for damage to the Company’s reputation as a result of the vendor’s failure to perform. No accrual has been made in the financial statements.
ICI .v. Mobility Technologies, Inc.
During 2002, the Company engaged a computer consultant to provide, install, customize, and make ready for service certain back office software at the corporate headquarters. The vendor failed to meet the contracted deadlines to perform and the vendor abandoned the relationship; however, the vendor filed suit to cause payment of invoices submitted in connection with the project. The invoices were deemed inappropriate, excessive, and outside the terms of the contract by the Company and intentionally not satisfied. Discovery requests have been served on the plaintiff and a court date has been set for March 2004. No accrual has been made in the financial statements.
Xxxx Xxxxxx v. Xxxxxxx.xxx and Xxx XxXxxxxx
During January 2002, an employee of the Company (XxXxxxxx) assigned to the Secaucus, NJ operations center became involved in a traffic accident in New York City while on routine patrol and in search of reportable traffic conditions. The plaintiff claims damages in the amount of $2 million. The defense is being handled by the Company’s insurance carrier.
Xxxxxx Xxxxx v. Xxxxx Xxxx and Sensor Management Systems
During August 1999, an employee of a subsidiary of the Company (Xxxx) assigned to a project in Western Pennsylvania became involved in a traffic accident in a Company truck while returning home at the end of the day. The plaintiff claims damages in the amount of $75,000. The defense is being handled by the Company’s insurance
carrier at this time.
Management does not believe that any of the suits, threats, or other information above will result in a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. Any accruals recorded represent reasonable estimates made by management to anticipate potential expenses attributable to prior periods. Such liabilities are subject to periodic evaluation for continuing applicability. All related expense of counsel is recognized as period cost.

SECOND AMENDMENT
TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement is entered into as of July 8, 2004 (the “Amendment”), by and between COMERICA BANK (“Bank”) and MOBILITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (“Borrower”).
RECITALS
Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 7, 2003, as amended, including without limitation by that certain Waiver and Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 29, 2004 (collectively, the “Agreement”). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. The following defined terms are hereby added to or amended in Section 1.1 of the Agreement to read as follows:
“Borrowing Base” means an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of Eligible Accounts which are Media Accounts as determined by Bank with reference to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower.
“EBITDA” means net income plus interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
“Revolving Line” means a credit extension of up to Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such time as Borrower’s EBITDA has exceeded One Dollar ($1.00) for any calendar month during the term of this Agreement, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension of up to the lesser of (A) Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000) or (B) Trailing Three Month Collections. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, after such time as Borrower’s EBITDA has exceeded One Dollar ($1.00) for any two consecutive calendar months during the term of this Agreement, “Revolving Line” shall mean a credit extension of up to the lesser of (A) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) or (B) Trailing Three Months Collections, but shall in no event be less than Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($8,500,000).
“Trailing Three Month Collections” means the aggregate amount of Borrower’s collections from Eligible Accounts in the three months immediately preceding the date of measurement.
2. A new Section 13 is hereby added to the Agreement to read as follows:
13. REFERENCE PROVISION.
If and only if the jury trial waiver set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement is invalidated for any reason by a court of law, statute or otherwise, the reference provisions set forth below shall be substituted in place of the jury trial waiver. So long as the jury trial waiver remains valid, the reference provisions set forth in this Section shall be inapplicable.
(a) Each controversy, dispute or claim (each, a “Claim”) between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any security agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Bank arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any note executed by Borrower in favor of Bank arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed by Borrower with or in favor of Bank arising out of or relating to this Agreement (collectively in this Section, the “Loan Documents”), other than (i) all matters in connection with nonjudicial foreclosure of security interests in real or personal property; or (ii) the appointment of a receiver or the exercise of other provisional remedies (any of which may be initiated pursuant to applicable law) that are not settled in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date on which a party subject to the Loan Documents gives written notice to all other parties that a Claim exists (the “Claim Date”) shall be resolved by a reference proceeding in California in accordance with the provisions of Section 638 et seq. of the California Code of Civil Procedure, or their successor sections (“CCP”), which shall constitute the exclusive remedy for the resolution of any Claim concerning the Loan Documents, including whether such Claim is subject to the reference proceeding. Except as set forth in this section, the parties waive the right to initiate legal proceedings against each other concerning each such Claim. Venue for these proceedings shall be in the Superior Court in the County where the real property, if any, is located or in a County where venue is otherwise appropriate under state law (the “Court”). By mutual agreement, the parties shall select a retired Judge of the Court to serve as referee, and if they cannot so agree within fifteen (15) days after the Claim Date, the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative) shall promptly select the referee. A request for appointment of a referee may be heard on an ex parte or expedited basis. The referee shall be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all the powers for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon selection should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently enacted Rule). Each party shall have one peremptory challenge pursuant to CCP § 170.6. Upon being selected, the referee shall (a) be requested to set the matter for a status and trial-setting conference within fifteen (15) days after the date of selection and (b) if practicable, try any and all issues of law or fact and report a statement of decision upon them within ninety (90) days of the date of selection. The referee will have power to expand or limit the amount of discovery a party may employ. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final, binding and conclusive, and judgment shall be entered pursuant to CCP §644 in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction. The parties shall complete all discovery no later than fifteen (15) days before the first trial date established by the referee. The referee may extend such period in the event of a party’s refusal to provide requested
2
discovery for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness. No party shall be entitled to “priority” in conducting discovery. Either party may take depositions upon seven (7) days written notice, and shall respond to requests for production or inspection of documents within ten (10) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery which cannot be resolved by the parties shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Pending appointment of the referee as provided herein, the Superior Court is empowered to issue temporary and/or provisional remedies, as appropriate.
(b) Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding is conducted including the time and place of all hearings, the order of presentation of evidence, and all other questions that arise with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. Except for trial, all proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee shall be conducted without a court reporter unless a party requests a court reporter. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter. Subject to the referee’s power to award costs to the prevailing party, the parties shall equally bear the costs of the court reporter at the trial and the referee’s expenses.
(c) The referee shall determine all issues in accordance with existing California case and statutory law. California rules of evidence applicable to proceedings at law will apply to the reference proceeding. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that shall be binding upon the parties. At the close of the reference proceeding, the referee shall issue a single judgment at disposing of all the claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The parties reserve the right (i) to contest or appeal from the final judgment or any appealable order or appealable judgment entered by the referee and (ii) to obtain findings of fact, conclusions of laws, a written statement of decision, and (iii) to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which new trial, if granted, shall be a reference proceeding under this provision.
(d) If the enabling legislation which provides for appointment of a referee is repealed (and no successor statute is enacted), any dispute between the parties that would otherwise be determined by the reference procedure herein described will be resolved and determined by arbitration conducted by a retired judge of the Court, in accordance with the California Arbitration Act § 1280 through § 1294.2 of the CCP as amended from time to time. The limitations with respect to discovery as set forth in this Section shall apply to any such arbitration proceeding.
3. Exhibit C to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety by Exhibit C attached hereto.
4. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of
3
this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any
right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the
date hereof. Borrower ratifies and
reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all promissory notes, guaranties,
security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, environmental agreements, and
all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with
the Agreement.
5. Borrower represents and warrants that the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Amendment, and that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
7. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
(a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;
(b) disbursement instructions, agreement to provide insurance, and auto-debit authorization;
(c) Warrant to Purchase Series E Preferred Stock;
(d) Affirmation of Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement;
(e) a one-time nonrefundable amendment fee equal to $7,500 plus all Bank Expenses incurred through the date of this Amendment; and

FIFTH AMENDMENT
TO
LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
This Fifth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement is entered into as of August 30, 2005 (the "Amendment"), by and between COMERICA BANK ("Bank") and XXXXXXX.XXX, INC. formerly known as Mobility Technologies, Inc. ("Borrower").
Borrower and Bank are parties to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 7, 2003 (as amended, including without limitation by that certain Waiver and Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 29, 2004, that certain Second Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 8, 2004, those certain bilateral letter agreements dated December 6, 2004, February 6, 2005 and March 10, 2005, that certain Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of April 20, 2005 and that certain Fourth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement dated as of July 11, 2005, the "Agreement"). The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Section 6.8 of the Agreement is hereby amended in full to read as follows:
"6.8 Losses/Profits. Borrower shall not suffer a net loss (excluding non-cash accrued warrant expense) for the three month period ending on the following months in excess of the loss set forth opposite such month:
Maximum Net Loss |
3-month Period Ending |

($5,281,000) | July 31, 2005 | |
($6,425,000) | August 31, 2005 | |
($7,743,000) | September 30, 2005 | |
($7,266,000) | October 31, 2005 | |

2. Exhibit D to the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety by Exhibit D attached hereto.
3. Section 8.8 of the Agreement provides that Bank shall not make Credit Extensions prior to the satisfaction or stay of any judgment against Borrower for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, equal to or in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). On August 19, 2005, a judgment for compensatory damages (the "Judgment") in the amount of Six Million One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($6,160,000) was entered against Borrower and in favor of Santa Fe Technologies, Inc. by the Albuquerque District Court in connection with Case Number D-202-CV-9907715. The Judgment has not been satisfied or stayed. Accordingly, the parties agree that Bank currently has no obligation to make Credit Extensions to Borrower. Borrower has requested that Bank continue to make Credit Extensions to it notwithstanding the outstanding nature of the Judgment. Bank is willing to grant the requested accommodation and continue making Credit Extensions provided that Bank retains the right, in its sole discretion and without notice to Borrower, to cease making Credit Extensions in connection with the accommodation requested hereunder.
Bank expressly reserves all of its various rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable laws, including without limitation those arising out of the Judgment.
4. Unless otherwise defined, all initially capitalized terms in this Amendment shall be as defined in the Agreement. The Agreement, as amended hereby, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with its respective terms and hereby is ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly set forth herein, the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of, or as an amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Bank under the Agreement, as in effect prior to the date hereof. Borrower ratifies and reaffirms the continuing effectiveness of all promissory notes, guaranties, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, environmental agreements, and all other instruments, documents and agreements entered into in connection with the Agreement.
5. Borrower represents and warrants that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
7. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Amendment, Bank shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Bank, the following:
(a) this Amendment, duly executed by Borrower;
(b) Affirmation of Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement; and
(c) such other documents, and completion of such other matters, as Bank may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate.
