B. Modifications. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, the Credit Agreement shall be, without further act or deed, modified and amended as follows:

1. Section 1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby modified and amended as follows:

 

  (a)

The definition of “Mortgage” is hereby deleted and restated in its entirety as follows:

3. Exhibit “A” to the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof.

C. Representations and Warranties. Obligors hereby represents and warrants that no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, or would exist with notice or the lapse of time or both, under any of the Transaction Documents, and that all representations and warranties herein and in the other Transaction Documents are true and correct in all material respects.

IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED by and between the parties hereto that this Amendment shall become a part of the Credit Agreement by reference and that nothing herein contained shall impair the security now held for said indebtedness, nor shall waive, annul, vary or affect any provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in the Credit Agreement, except as herein amended, nor affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies under the Credit Agreement, as hereby amended. Furthermore, Bank does hereby reserve all rights and remedies it may have against all parties who may be or may hereafter become primarily or secondarily liable for the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents in addition to any other rights and remedies Bank may have under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Each Obligor promises and agrees to pay and perform all of its requirements, conditions and obligations under the terms of the Transaction Documents and the Credit Agreement, as hereby modified and amended, said documents being hereby ratified and affirmed. The execution and delivery hereof shall not constitute a novation or modification of the lien, encumbrance or security title of any of the Security Instruments, which Security Instruments shall retain their priority as originally filed for record. Each Obligor expressly agrees that the Transaction Documents and the Credit Agreement are in full force and effect and that it has no right to setoff, counterclaim or defense to the payment thereof. Any reference contained in the Credit Agreement, as amended herein, or in any of the Transaction Documents to the Credit Agreement shall hereinafter be deemed to be a reference to such document as amended hereby.

This Amendment shall be closed without cost to Bank and all expenses incurred in connection with this closing (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees) are to be paid by Borrower. Bank is not providing legal advice or services to Obligors.

This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

This Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any assignee or the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
