By this Note Modification Agreement, all liens, security interests, assignments, superior titles and priorities securing the Note are hereby ratified and confirmed as valid and subsisting and continue to secure the Note as modified herein. Nothing in this Note Modification Agreement shall in any manner impair, diminish or extinguish any of the liens or any covenant, condition, agreement or stipulation in the Note or any pledge and/or security agreement, and the same except as herein modified shall continue in full force and effect.
Except as hereby specifically amended, modified or supplemented, the Note is hereby confirmed and ratified in all respects and remains in full force and effect according to its respective terms. This Note Modification Agreement does not constitute a novation of the Note. When executed by Lender and Borrower, this Agreement shall be attached to and become a part of the Note.
This Note Modification Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto.
