14.10. | No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or to constitute such person a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. |
14.11. | Assignment. Neither this Agreement, the Loan Documents nor the proceeds from the Loan will be assigned without the Bank’s prior written consent, and without such consent, there will be no right to designate a payee of the proceeds from the Loan. |
14.12. | Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each provision of the other Loan Documents. |
14.13. | Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in the Loan Documents should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provision or provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby in any other jurisdiction; and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. |
14.14. | Verbal Change. The Loan Documents may not be amended, altered, modified or changed verbally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any amendment, waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. |
14.15. | No Waiver. No advance of the proceeds from the Loan under any of the Loan Documents will constitute a waiver of any of the representations, warranties, conditions or covenants of GRMH, the Borrowers or the Guarantor under the Loan Documents. In the event GRMH, the Borrowers or the Guarantor is unable to satisfy any warranty, condition or covenant contained in the Loan Documents, no advance of the proceeds from the Loan will preclude the Bank from thereafter declaring such inability to be an event of Default. |
