legal,  valid and binding  obligation of the  Borrower,  and is  enforceable  in
accordance  with its terms;  (ii) the Borrower is not in default  under the Loan

compliance with all of the terms and conditions thereof;  (iii) no event exists,
or is likely to exist in the future,  which with the passage of time, notice, or
both,  will  constitute a default  under the Loan  Agreement or any of the other


Loan Documents; and (iv) there have been no material adverse changes in the Borrower's financial condition or operations which would cause the Borrower to be in default under any of the financial covenants contained in the Loan Documents. 4.

Any past, present or future delay or failure of the Agent and the Lenders to demand or enforce strict performance of each term and condition of the Loan Agreement and Loan Documents, and any past, present or future delay or failure of the Agent or the Lenders to exercise any right, power or privilege shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver with respect to the same or any other matter, or preclude the future exercise of such right, power or privilege, or be construed or deemed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such default. 5.
