6. CONTINUING VALIDITY. Borrower (and each guarantor and pledgor signing
below) understands and agrees that in modifying the existing Indebtedness,
Bank is relying upon Borrower's representations, warranties, and agreements,
as set forth in the Existing Loan Documents. Except as expressly modified
pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan
Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank's agreement to
modifications to the existing indebtedness pursuant to this Loan Modification
Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to
the Indebtedness. Nothing in this Loan Modification Agreement shall constitute
a satisfaction of the Indebtedness. It is the intention of Bank and Borrower
to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan
Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing. No
maker, endorser, or guarantor will be released by virtue of this Loan
Modification Agreement. The terms of this Paragraph apply not only to this
Loan Modification Agreement, but also to all subsequent loan modification
agreements.
7. JURISDICTION/VENUE. Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with
its properties, unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state
or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts in any action, suit, or proceeding of any kind against it which
arises out of or by reason of this Loan Modification Agreement; provided,
however, that if for any reason Bank cannot avail itself of the courts of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, then venue shall lie in Santa ▇▇▇▇▇ County,
California.
8. COUNTERSIGNATURE. This Loan Modification Agreement shall become
effective only when it shall have been executed by Borrower and Bank
(provided, however, in no event shall this Loan Modification Agreement become
effective until signed by an officer of Bank in California).
This Loan Modification Agreement is executed as of the date first written
above.
