The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.
7. Representations and Warranties of Borrower. To induce Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants that (a) Borrower is the lawful owner of good and indefeasible title to the Property; (b) the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party and this Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws applicable to creditors’ rights or the collection of debtors’ obligations generally; (c) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any deed of trust, deed to secure debt, mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or other contract, agreement or undertaking to which Borrower is a party or by which 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 or regulation to which Borrower is subject; (d) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge there exists no uncured default under the Loan Documents; (e) Borrower has no offsets, claims or defenses under or otherwise with respect to the Loan Documents; and (f) there have been no changes in direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, and no amendments or modifications to the operating agreements, partnership agreements, certificates of formation, articles of organization or other governing agreement, as applicable, of Borrower, Borrower’s members, or the partners or members of Borrower’s members since the date of the closing of the Original Loan, in each case that would require the consent of or notice to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and Borrower is currently duly organized and legally existing under the laws of its state of organization and is qualified to do business in the state where the Property is located. Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender Parties harmless against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred) incurred as a result of any representation or warranty made by Borrower herein proving to be untrue in any material respect.
8. Representations of the Guarantors. To induce Administrative Agent and the Lenders to execute and deliver this Agreement, each Guarantor represents and warrants that (a) the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party and this Agreement constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other laws applicable to creditors’ rights or the collection of debtors’ obligations generally; (b) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Guarantor do not contravene, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any deed of trust, deed to secure debt, mortgage, loan agreement, indenture or other contract, agreement or undertaking to which such Guarantor is a party or by which such Guarantor 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 or regulation to which such Guarantor is subject, in any such case, to the extent such contravention, breach, default or violation would result in a material adverse effect on such Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the Loan Documents as modified hereby; (c) to the best of such Guarantor’s knowledge there exists no uncured default by such Guarantor under the Loan Documents; (d) such Guarantor has no offsets, claims or defenses under or otherwise with respect to the Loan Documents; and (e) there have been no changes to the direct or indirect ownership interests in such Guarantor, and no amendments or modifications to the partnership agreement, operating agreement, bylaws, certificates of formation, articles of organization, articles of incorporation or other governing agreement, as applicable, of such Guarantor or its general partner since the date of the closing of the Original Loan, in each case that would require the consent of or notice to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and such Guarantor is currently duly organized and legally existing under the laws of its state of organization. Guarantors agree, on a joint and several basis, to indemnify and hold Lender Parties harmless against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees actually incurred) incurred as a result of any representation or warranty made by any Guarantor herein proving to be untrue in any material respect.
9. No Recourse Against Partners; Guarantors Liability.
(a) The obligations of a Guarantor under this Agreement are collectible only from the assets of such Guarantor, and in no event will any partner of a Guarantor have any liability for the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder solely as a result of such partners partnership interest in Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations of this Section 9(a) shall not be deemed to (i) limit any liability of any Guarantor under this Agreement or under the Guaranty or any other guaranty or indemnity agreement now or hereafter executed in favor of Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the Loan or (ii) limit the liability of Borrower or any Guarantor in any way.
(b) All liability of any Guarantor under this Agreement shall be joint and several with all other Guarantors.
10. Additional Documentation. Borrower Parties, upon request from Administrative Agent, agree to execute such other and further documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated herein or to perfect the liens and security interests intended to secure the payment of the Loan, provided that such other and further documents do not materially increase the obligations, or dimish the rights, of any of the Borrower Parties.
11. Default. If (i) any representation by any Borrower Party contained herein is false or misleading in any material respect when made or (ii) any Borrower Party shall fail to keep or perform any of the covenants, warranties or agreements contained herein and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after receipt by Borrower and Guarantors of written notice and demand for the performance of such covenant, agreement, warranty or condition (the “Grace Period”); provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall extend the Grace Period up to an additional thirty (30) days (for a total of sixty (60) days from the date of default) if (i) the applicable Borrower Party immediately commences and diligently pursues the cure of such default and delivers (within the Grace Period) to Administrative Agent a written request for more time and (ii) Administrative Agent determines in good faith that (1) such default cannot be cured within the Grace Period but can be cured within sixty (60) days after the default, (2) no Lien or security interest created by the Loan Documents will be impaired prior to completion of such cure, and (3) Administrative Agent’s immediate exercise of any remedies provided under the Loan Documents or by law is not necessary for the protection or preservation of the Property or Administrative Agent’s security interest, then, it shall be deemed an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to exercise any and all of the rights and remedies granted pursuant to the Loan Documents or to which they may otherwise be entitled, whether at law or in equity.
12. Recordation; Loan Title Policy. Contemporaneously herewith, Administrative Agent will deliver this Agreement for recording in the appropriate records of the county where the Property is located at Borrower’s expense, and Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent an endorsement to the Loan Title Policy in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.
13. Ratification of Loan Documents. Except as same are modified by this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and shall remain in full force and effect. The Loan Documents, as modified and amended hereby, are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.
