    3.3              Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.   Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder.  Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, except the filings referred to in Section 3.16.  Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party thereto.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).
 
    3.4              No Legal Bar.   The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents).  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority; governmental actions; inability to obtain labor, material, equipment or transportation.  In no event shall the Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect or consequential damages, even if the Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.  The Agent shall not incur any liability in connection with refusing to act based upon an oral instruction.  The permissive authorizations, entitlements, powers and rights granted to the Agent herein (including the right to (i) request any documentation, (ii) request the taking of any action and (iii) exercise any remedies) shall not be construed as duties.
 
    8.4              Reliance by Agent.   The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.  The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. Phrases such as "satisfactory to the Agent", "approved by the Agent", "acceptable to the Agent", "as determined by the Agent", "in the Agent's discretion", "selected by the Agent", “as requested by the Agent” and phrases of similar import authorize and permit the Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion, it being understood that the Agent in exercising such discretion, hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, shall be acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and shall be fully protected in, and shall incur no liability in connection with, acting (or failing to act) pursuant to such instructions. With regards to any action or refusal to act that involves discretion, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) and shall not be liable for any such delay in acting.  If at any time the Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process which in any way affects the Collateral (including, but not limited to, orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of the Collateral), the Agent (a) shall furnish to the Borrowers prompt written notice thereof and (b) is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate; and if the Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, the Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other person or entity even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.
 
30
 
 
    8.5              Notice of Default.   The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
 
    8.6              Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.   Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
 
31
 
 
    8.7              Indemnification.   The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective holding of the outstanding Loans in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.7, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including the cost of successfully defending itself against a claim brought by a party hereto) that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section 8.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the resignation or removal of the Agent.
 
    8.8              Agent in Its Individual Capacity.   The Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though the Agent were not an Agent.  The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
 
    8.9              Successor Agent.   The Agent may resign as Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Additionally, if a conflict arises (in the sole and reasonable discretion of the Agent) in regards to the Agent acting as Agent for both the holders of the Tranche B Loans and the Non-Tranche B Loans, the Agent shall be entitled, in addition to the right of resignation set forth above, to resign as Agent under either the Tranche B Loans or the Non-Tranche B Loans (pursuant to the same process set forth above for resignation as Agent for all Loans) and all parties hereto agree to amend the documents as necessary to accommodate such resignation. Any corporation or other company into which the Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other company succeeding to the business of the Agent shall be the successor of the Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

    9.1              Amendments and Waivers.   Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1.  The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Agent, the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that, in the case of clause (a) and clause (b) hereof, no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrowers of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or amend, modify or waive the last paragraph of Section 7 or Section 5.5 of the Security Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (v) amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of the Security Agreement (other than Section 5.5), or amend, modify or waive any of the provisions of Section 2.6, Section 3.7, Section 3.16, Section 3.18, Section 5.9, Section 6.4, Section 6.8 or Section 6.15 or any of the definitions relating to any of the foregoing, in each case without the written consent of the Required Lenders; or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 9 without the written consent of the Agent.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, modification or waiver shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Agent.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

    provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.
 
    The Agent shall confirm each funds transfer instruction received in the name of a party by means of the security procedure selected by such party and communicated to the Agent through a signed certificate in the form of Schedule 1 attached hereto, which upon receipt by the Agent shall become a part of this Agreement.  Once delivered to the Agent, Schedule 1 may be revised or rescinded only by a writing signed by an authorized representative of the party.  Such revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such period of time as may be necessary to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it.  If a revised Schedule 1 or a rescission of an existing Schedule 1 is delivered to the Agent by an entity that is a successor-in-interest to a party, such document shall be accompanied by additional documentation satisfactory to the Agent showing that such entity has succeeded to the rights and responsibilities of the party under this Agreement.
 
35
 
 
    The parties understand that the Agent’s inability to receive or confirm funds transfer instructions pursuant to the security procedure selected by such party may result in a delay in accomplishing such funds transfer, and agree that the Agent shall not be liable for any loss caused by any such delay.
 
    Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it;
 
provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
 
    9.3              No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.   No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
 
    9.4              Survival of Representations and Warranties.   All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.
 
    9.5              Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification.   The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all its out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Restatement Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Restatement Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold the each Lender and the Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Loan Party or any of the Mortgaged Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (including the cost of successfully defending itself against a claim brought by a party hereto) (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the resignation or removal of the Agent
 
36
 
 
    9.6              Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations.
 
(a)           The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) the Lenders may not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except to an assignee (“Assignee”).  Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to this Section 9.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.5).  The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent, and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), and any written consent to such assignment required by this Section 9.6, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
37
 
 
(b)           Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to one or more entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the loan participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (x) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 9.1 and (y) directly affects such loan participant.
 
    9.7              Surety Waivers.   This paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Agreement or to any of the Obligations, or that CRE is a guarantor hereunder.  As used in this paragraph, any reference to “the principal” includes Cadiz, and any reference to “the creditor” includes the Agent and the Lenders.  In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code:  (a) CRE unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code; and (b) CRE unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights and defenses available to it by reason of the Obligation being secured by real property or otherwise, including without limitation, any rights and defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or other law, which means, among other things, (1) the creditor may collect from CRE without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the principal, (2) if the creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the principal, (A) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (B) the creditor may collect from CRE even if the creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right CRE may have to collect from the principal, and (3) CRE is waiving all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed CRE’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise, and even though that election of remedies by the creditor, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Obligations, has destroyed CRE’s rights of contribution against any other guarantor.  No other provision of this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and waivers set forth in this paragraph.
 
38
 
 
    9.8              Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Agent.
 
    9.9              Severability.   Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
    9.10              Integration.   This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any such party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.
 
    9.11              Governing Law.   THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
    9.12              Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers.   Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
 
(a)           submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;
 
(b)           consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;
 
39
 
 
(c)           agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Borrowers at its address set forth in Section 9.2 or at such other address of which the Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;
 
(d)           agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and
 
(e)           waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
 
    9.13              Acknowledgments.   Each of the Borrowers hereby acknowledges that:

To
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 30, 2013 by and among Cadiz Inc., Cadiz Real Estate, LLC, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) and the lenders party thereto (the “Agreement”)


I hereby certify that I am authorized to deliver this Schedule 1 on behalf of ___________________ (the “Organization”), and hereby further certify that the names, titles, telephone numbers, email addresses and specimen signatures set forth below identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of the Organization, and that the option checked in Part C of this Schedule 1 is the security procedure selected by the Organization for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Bank is that of the Organization.
 
The Organization has reviewed each of these security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part C of this Schedule 1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Bank.  By selecting the security procedure specified in Part C of this Schedule 1, the Organization acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described below and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Bank in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by the Organization.
 
NOTICE:  The security procedure selected by the Organization will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by the Organization.  If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary.  If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution.  Therefore, it is important that the Organization take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Bank.

Schedule 1-2
 
 
Part C

 
Means for delivery of instructions and/or confirmations

 
The security procedure to be used with respect to funds transfer instructions is checked below:

o
Option 1.  Confirmation by telephone call-back.  The Bank shall confirm funds transfer instructions by telephone call-back to a person at the telephone number designated on Part B above.  The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts A and B of this Schedule 1.
 
  o 
CHECK box, if applicable:
If the Bank is unable to obtain confirmation by telephone call-back, the Bank may, at its discretion, confirm by email, as described in Option 2.
 
 
o
Option 2.  Confirmation by email.  The Bank shall confirm funds transfer instructions by email to a person at the email address specified for such person in Part B of this Schedule.  The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts A and B of this Schedule 1.  The Organization understands the risks associated with communicating sensitive matters, including time sensitive matters, by email.  The Organization further acknowledges that instructions and data sent by email may be less confidential or secure than instructions or data transmitted by other methods. The Bank shall not be liable for any loss of the confidentiality of instructions and data prior to receipt by the Bank.
 
  o 
CHECK box, if applicable:
If the Bank is unable to obtain confirmation by email, the Bank may, at its discretion, confirm by telephone call-back, as described in Option 1.

o
Option 3. Delivery of funds transfer instructions by password protected file transfer system only - no confirmation.  The Bank offers the option to deliver funds transfer instructions through a password protected file transfer system. If the Organization wishes to use the password protected file transfer system, further instructions will be provided by the Bank.  If the Organization chooses this Option 3, it agrees that no further confirmation of funds transfer instructions will be performed by the Bank.

o
Option 4.  Delivery of funds transfer instructions by password protected file transfer system with confirmation.  Same as Option 3 above, but the Bank shall confirm funds transfer instructions by otelephone call-back or o  email (must check at least one, may check both) to a person at the telephone number or email address designated on Part B above.  By checking a box in the prior sentence, the party shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms of such confirmation option as more fully described in Option 1 and Option 2 above.

Dated this ____ day of ___________, 20__.

    ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT”) is entered into as of [DATE] between [NAME OF ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”) and [NAME OF ASSIGNEE] (the “Assignee”).  Reference is made to the credit agreement described in Annex I hereto (the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
 
    1.           In accordance with the terms and conditions of section 9.6 of the Credit Agreement, the Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor without recourse and without representation or warranty (except as provided in this Assignment Agreement), that interest in and to the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents as of the date hereof with respect to the Obligations owing to the Assignor to the extent specified on Annex I.
 
    2.           The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim and (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) any statements, representations or warranties made in or in connection with the Loan Documents, or (ii) the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (c) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, and (d) represents and warrants that the amount set forth as the Purchase Price on Annex I represents the amount owed by Borrower to Assignor with respect to Assignor’s share of the Loans assigned hereunder, as reflected on the Assignor’s books and records.
 
    3.           The Assignee represents and warrants that (a) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) that this Assignment Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Assignee and that this Assignment Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Assignee, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.
 
Exhibit A-2
 
 
    4.           The Assignee (a) confirms that it has received copies of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement and that it is not relying upon any representation, warranty or statement (except any such representation, warranty or statement expressly set forth in this Assignment Agreement); (b) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, Assignor or any other Lender based upon such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Loan Documents; (c) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (d) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender; and (e) and attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the Assignee’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to the Assignee under the Credit Agreement or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such rates at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty.  The Assignor shall have no duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Assignee or to provide the Assignee with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the initial extension of credit under the Credit Agreement or at any time or times thereafter.
 
    5.           Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement by the Assignor and Assignee, the Assignor will deliver this Assignment Agreement to the Agent for recording by the Agent.  The effective date of this Assignment (the “Settlement Date”) shall be the later to occur of (a) the date of the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor and the Assignee, and (b) the date specified in Annex I.
 
    6.           As of the Settlement Date (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of the Lender thereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (b) the Assignor shall, to the extent of the interest assigned pursuant to this Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
    7.           Upon the Settlement Date, Assignee shall pay to Assignor the Purchase Price (as set forth in Annex 1). From and after the Settlement Date, the Agent shall make all payments in respect of the assigned interest (including payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts) to the relevant Assignee whether such amounts have accrued prior to, on or after the Settlement Date. The Assignor and the Assignee shall make all appropriate adjustments in payments by the Agent for periods prior to the Settlement Date, or with respect to the making of this assignment, directly between themselves.
 
    8.           This Assignment Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Assignment Agreement may be executed and delivered by telecopier or other facsimile transmission all with the same force and effect as if the same were a fully executed and delivered original manual counterpart.

    6.3  Pledged Stock.   Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall have given notice to the relevant Loan Party of the intent of the Agent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 5.3 each Loan Party shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other organizational rights with respect to the Investment Property; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, would materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties, (i) the Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property and make application thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof and (ii) any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Agent or its nominee, and the Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other organizational structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Loan Party or the Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Agent shall have no duty to any Loan Party to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing and if it does do so, shall have no liability to the Loan Parties for the sufficiency thereof.  Each Loan Party hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Loan Party hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Loan Party, and each Loan Party agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5 hereof.

    6.4  Proceeds to Be Turned Over to Agent.    In addition to the rights of the Agent specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds received by any Loan Party consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Loan Party in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of such Loan Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Loan Party, be turned over to the Agent in the exact form received by such Loan Party (duly indorsed by such Loan Party to the Agent, if required).  All Proceeds received by the Agent hereunder shall be held by the Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control.  All Proceeds while held by the Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Loan Party in trust for the Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.
 
    6.5  Application of Proceeds.    At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (x) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrower, automatically, (y) if such event is an Event of Default specified in paragraph (j) of Section 7 of the Credit Agreement, at any time as the Agent may be so directed by any Lender or (z) if such event is any other Event of Default, at any time as the Agent may be so directed by the Required Lenders, the Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Obligations in the following order:  first, to any costs, fees, expenses and other amounts incurred by the Agent in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations (including the reasonable costs, fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise by the Agent of any right or remedy under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document); second, to the ratable satisfaction of the Obligations; and third, any balance of remaining Proceeds to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.  Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
 
    6.6  Code and Other Remedies.   If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of the Agent under the New York UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk.

The Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Loan Party further agrees, at the Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Loan Party’s premises or elsewhere.  The Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the order as set forth in Section 5.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the New York UCC, need the Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Loan Party.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Agent arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Each Loan Party recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof.  Each Loan Party also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private and each Loan Party waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any claims against Agent and the Lenders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree; provided that such private sale is conducted in accordance with this Agreement.  The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Loan Party or the issuer of any Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Loan Party and the issuer would agree to do so.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of any of the Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, the Agent is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any governmental authority, and each Loan Party further agrees that such compliance shall not, in and of itself, result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall Agent be liable or accountable to any Loan Party for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
 
    6.7  Deficiency.   Each Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Agent to collect such deficiency.

    7.3  No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies.   The Agent shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 6.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default.  No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
 
    7.4  Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.   Each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such liabilities were caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as determined by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Each Loan Party jointly and severally agrees to pay, and to save the Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement.  The agreements in this Section 6.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the resignation or removal of the Agent.
 
    7.5  Successors and Assigns.   This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Loan Party and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and its successors and assigns; provided that no Loan Party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent.

    7.6  Set-off.   Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Loan Party or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Loan Party, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Agent to or for the credit or the account of such Loan Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Agent may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Loan Party to the Agent hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Agent against such Loan Party, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the Agent may elect, whether or not the Agent has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured.  The Agent shall notify such Loan Party promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Agent of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Agent under this Section 6.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Agent may have.
 
    7.7  Counterparts.   This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
 
    7.8  Severability.   Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
    7.9  Section Headings.   The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
 
    7.10  Integration.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Loan Parties and the Agent with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Agent relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the other Loan Documents.

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

    7.13  Acknowledgments.   Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that:
 
(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;
 
(b) the Agent has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
