6.Borrowers’ Representations and Warranties. Each Borrower hereby reaffirms all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents to be true, accurate and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement to the extent such representations and warranties are not matters which, by their nature, can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time, and
2
except for changes in circumstances arising from actions or events occurring after the date of the Loan Agreement that do not otherwise constitute a Default thereunder, including, without limitation, the execution of new Leases or new contracts that are not prohibited by the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower further represents and warrants that as of the Effective Date (a) the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification, if applicable, is true and correct in all respects; (b) to each Borrower’s knowledge, no Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing; (c) each Borrower is a limited liability company which is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; (d) there have been no material changes in formation documents of any Borrower since the inception of the Loan; (e) the execution and delivery of this Agreement do not contravene, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or other contract or agreement to which any Borrower is a party or by which any Borrower or any of its properties may be bound (nor would such execution and delivery constitute such a default with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both), and do not violate or contravene any law, order, decree, rule, regulation or restriction to which any Borrower or any Property is subject; (f) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Borrower enforceable in accordance with its terms; (g) the execution and delivery of, and performance under, this Agreement are within each Borrower’s power and authority without the joinder or consent of any other party and have been duly authorized by all requisite action, and are not in contravention of any law, or of any Borrower’s articles of organization or operating agreement or of any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which any Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.
7.Release.
(a)Borrowers and Guarantor, for themselves and for each of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby release and waive all claims and/or defenses they now may have against Administrative Agent, Xxxxxxx and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) on account of any occurrence relating to the Loan, the Loan Documents and/or the property encumbered by the Security Instruments which accrued prior to the date hereof, including, but not limited to, any claim that Administrative Agent or any Lender (a) breached any obligation to Borrowers and/or Guarantor in connection with the Loan, (b) was or is in any way involved with Borrowers and/or Guarantor as a partner, joint venturer, or in any other capacity whatsoever other than as a lender, (c) failed to fund any portion of the Loan or any other sums as required under any document or agreement in reference thereto, or (d) failed to timely respond to any offers to cure any defaults under any document or agreement executed by Borrowers, Guarantor or any third party or parties in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lender (collectively, the “Released Claims”). This release and waiver shall be effective as of the date of this Agreement and shall be binding upon Borrowers and Guarantor and each of their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, Xxxxxxx and their respective successors and assigns. The term “Released Parties” as used herein shall include, but shall not be limited to, the present and former officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys of Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(b)Borrowers and Guarantor each agree and acknowledge that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true regarding the Released Claims and agree that the foregoing releases shall remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the existence or nature of any such different or additional facts.
(c)Xxxxxxxxx and Guarantor, each having consulted with counsel, is aware of the contents of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California. Section 1542 reads as follows:
Section 1542. (General Release – Claims Extinguished.) A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES
3
NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
Borrowers and Guarantor each expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law or legal principle of similar effect in any jurisdiction, with respect to the Released Claims. Borrowers and Guarantor have executed this Agreement voluntarily, with full knowledge of its significance, and with the express intention of effecting the legal consequences provided by a waiver of California Civil Code Section 1542.
8.Course of Dealing. Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that at no time shall any prior or subsequent course of conduct by Borrowers, Administrative Agent or any Lender directly or indirectly limit, impair or otherwise adversely affect any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, interests or remedies in connection with the Loan and the Loan Documents or obligate Administrative Agent or any Lender to agree to, or to negotiate or consider an agreement to, any waiver of any obligation or default by Borrowers under any Loan Document or any amendment to any term or condition of any Loan Document.
9.Renewal; Lien Continuation; No Novation. Borrowers hereby renew the Obligations and promises to pay and perform all Obligations as modified by this Agreement. The Liens are hereby ratified and confirmed as valid, subsisting and continuing to secure the Obligations, as modified hereby. Nothing herein shall in any manner diminish, impair, waive or extinguish the Note, the Obligations or the Liens. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute a novation of the debt evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.
10.Default. A default under this Agreement shall constitute a default under the Note and other Loan Documents, subject to any applicable notice and cure or grace period expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.
11.Miscellaneous. To the extent of any conflict between the Loan Documents and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control. Unless specifically modified hereby, all terms of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect. This Agreement (a) shall bind and benefit the parties hereto and their respective heirs, beneficiaries, administrators, executors, receivers, trustees, successors and assigns; (b) shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and United States federal law; and (c) may be executed in several counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, and each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall constitute an original agreement enforceable against all who signed it without production of or accounting for any other counterpart, and all separate counterparts shall constitute the same agreement.
12.Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Guarantor, by signature below as such, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, hereby consents to and joins in this Agreement and hereby declares to and agrees with Administrative Agent and Lenders that the Guaranty is and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations, as amended by this Agreement, that there are no offsets, claims, counterclaims, cross-claims or defenses of Guarantor with respect to the Guaranty nor, to Guarantor’s knowledge, with respect to the Obligations, that the Guaranty is not released, diminished or impaired in any way by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and that the Guaranty is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Guarantor hereby reaffirms all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Guaranty, except to the extent such representations and warranties are matters which, by their nature, can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time, and except for changes in circumstances arising from actions or events occurring after the date of the Guaranty that do not otherwise constitute a Default
4
thereunder. Guarantor acknowledges that without this consent and reaffirmation, Administrative Agent and Lenders would not execute this Agreement or otherwise consent to its terms.
13.Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (including, without limitation, facsimile and .pdf) and shall be considered an original, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time. Borrowers and Guarantor hereby agree that as soon as reasonably possible, Borrowers and Guarantor will provide an original of this Agreement to Administrative Agent that will include the wet signatures of Borrowers and Guarantor next to any Electronic Signatures.
13.Limited Recourse Provision. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any recourse against, nor shall there be any personal liability to, the members, shareholders, partners, beneficial interest holders or any other entity or person in the ownership (directly or indirectly) of any Borrower with respect to the obligations of any Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect any Borrower’s liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor’s liability or obligations under the Guaranty, or Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.
