          Section 5.21. Affiliate Transaction. Borrower shall disclose any Affiliate Transaction to Lender.

The Policies shall designate Lender as first mortgagee, except as to general liability and umbrella liability under which Lender shall be named as an additional insured.
               (c) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
          (i) No act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned.
          (ii) The Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured and there shall be no exculpation for the carrier’s failure to notify Lender.
          (iii) Each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed thirty (30) days prior to its expiration and there shall be no carrier exculpation for the carrier’s failure to notify Lender.

               (f) If the Property or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower shall, regardless of whether Insurance Proceeds are available promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, all to be effected in accordance with applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.

               (g) Borrower shall comply with all insurance requirements of any insurer of the Property or any portion thereof and shall not bring or keep or permit to be brought or kept any article upon any of the Property or any portion thereof or cause or permit any condition to exist thereon which would be prohibited by an insurance requirement, or would invalidate any Policies then in effect or any of the insurance coverage required hereunder to be maintained by Borrower on or with respect to any part of the Property pursuant to this Agreement.
               (h) Any reimbursement due to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1.1 must be paid within thirty (30) days (or sooner if required), or such amount shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until paid to Lender.
          6.1.2. Casualty and Application of Proceeds.
               (a) In case of loss or damages covered by any of the Policies, the following provisions shall apply:
          (i) In the event of a Casualty that is less than $1,000,000 Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Lender and retain the proceeds thereof; however, Borrower shall give notice to Lender of each such Casualty and of the settlement thereof.
          (ii) In the event of a Casualty in the amount of $1,000,000 or more, if each of the following is true at all times: (A) the Insurance Proceeds are sufficient to pay for the Restoration as reasonably determined by Lender; (B) after such Restoration the Property will adequately secure the outstanding balance of the Loan; (C) no Default or Event of Default exists; (D) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be

12


 

completed on or before the earliest of (i) prior to the Maturity Date, (ii) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the Casualty; (E) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements; and (F) the Casualty does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements, then the Insurance Proceeds shall be deposited with Lender and after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender, such Insurance Proceeds shall be maintained and applied to pay for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property or part thereof subject to the Casualty (“Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such Restoration; provided that: (A) Borrower shall pay all costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such Restoration in excess of the net Insurance Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms hereof; (B) the Restoration shall be done in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (C) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after settlement with the applicable insurance carrier regarding the Insurance Proceeds arising from the Casualty) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (D) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including any applicable Environmental Laws; and (E) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, during the period of the Restoration, the sum of (A) income derived from the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, plus (B) proceeds of rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance, if any, to be paid, will equal or exceed the sum of (1) expenses in connection with the operation of the Property, (2) the required payments of principal and interest on the Loan, and (3) the other payments required pursuant to this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
               (b) Except as provided above in Section 6.1.2(a)(ii), the Insurance Proceeds collected upon any Casualty shall be deposited with Lender and at Lender’s option (in its sole discretion), be applied to the payment of the Debt after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender or, if Lender so elects (without any obligation to do so), after reimbursement of any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender, Lender shall hold such amount and such proceeds shall be maintained and applied in accordance with the Loan Documents to pay for the cost of any Restoration in the manner set forth herein. Any such application to the Debt shall be without prepayment premium, but shall otherwise be at Lender’s sole discretion, except as specifically provided herein to the contrary, and shall be applied to those payments of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) in inverse order, due under the Note or as otherwise determined by Lender and shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents or otherwise determined by Lender.
          6.1.3. Condemnation.
               (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding against the Property or the Improvements or any part thereof (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served by or on or received by Borrower in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether

13


 

an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation, all to be effected in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
               (b) Notwithstanding any taking in connection with a Condemnation by any public or quasi-public authority (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. During the occurrence of any uncured Event of Default, Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender.
               (c) During the occurrence of any uncured Event of default, the proceeds of any amount collected upon any Condemnation (“Award”) shall be deposited directly with Lender pursuant to Section 6.1.3(b) and at Lender’s option (in its sole discretion), shall be applied to the payment of the Debt (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender) or, if Lender so elects (without any obligation to do so), (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), Lender shall hold such amount and such proceeds shall be maintained and applied in accordance with the Loan Documents to pay for the cost of any Restoration in the manner set forth herein. Any such application to the Debt shall be without prepayment premium, but shall otherwise be at Lender’s sole discretion and shall be applied to those payments of principal and interest (including any Additional Interest) in inverse order due under the Note or as otherwise determined by Lender and shall not postpone or reduce any payments otherwise required pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, if there is a deficiency judgment to receive all or a portion of said Award sufficient to pay the outstanding balance of the Debt.
               (d) If such Condemnation affects less than sixty-five percent (65%) of the gross square footage of the Improvements, the Condemnation Proceeds shall be deposited with Lender and maintained and applied to pay for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing, or rebuilding the Property or the part thereof subject to Condemnation, and such Condemnation and the Condemnation Proceeds resulting therefrom shall be treated as a Restoration under Section 6.1.2(a)(ii) hereof.
          Section 6.2. Tax Escrow. Upon an uncured Event of Default, Borrower shall establish and maintain a tax escrow account with Lender. In such event, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Scheduled Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates (the “Tax Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.2 and under the other Loan Documents. Any amount remaining in the Tax Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

          Section 7.2. Remedies.
               (a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, subject to section 7.2(g) below, Lender may take such action, without notice, demand presentment, protest or other requirements of any kind (all of which are expressly waived by Borrower), as Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights and remedies against Borrower and/or Guarantor and in and to the Property, including the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
          (i) declare the entire Debt to be immediately due and payable;
          (ii) exercise any of the rights or remedies specified in the Security Instrument;
          (iii) apply any sums then deposited with Lender or other third party under the control of Lender and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in Lender’s sole discretion: (i) Taxes and Other Charges; (ii) Insurance Premiums; (iii) interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; (iv) amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; and (v) all other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;
          (iv) pursue such other rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity or under the Uniform Commercial Code including the right to receive all Rents, proceeds from the Intangibles (as defined in the Security Instrument) and any other receivables or rights to payments of Borrower relating to the Property;
          (v) with or without actual or threatened waste to the Property, Lender shall, at Lender’s sole, absolute and unfettered option and discretion, be entitled, and is hereby expressly and irrevocably authorized, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, without notice to Borrower, or any other party (any and all such notice being waived hereby) and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Debt or the solvency of Borrower or any other party liable for payment of the Debt, to appoint a receiver(s), on an emergency and ex parte basis or otherwise, to take possession of and to operate the Property, and at Lender’s option, to collect the Rents, or to take such other actions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem appropriate with respect to the Property. Borrower specifically waives any bond requirement for any Receiver appointed pursuant to the Loan Documents. Borrower irrevocably waives all notice of and defenses and objections to the appointment of such receiver. Borrower further irrevocably agrees that the occurrence of any Event of Default per se would create an emergency and the necessity for immediate actions; and
          (vi) pursue any other right or remedy allowed by any Loan Document or applicable law.
               (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by

17


 

law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This subsection shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default; the acceptance of any payment of by Lender shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite any payments made to Lender after the occurrence of such Event of Default.
               (c) Lender may resort to any remedies and the security given by any of the Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Lender in its sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Note, the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Lender to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in any of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Lender of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Lender of any obligation for which Borrower is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default, or Borrower’s liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Lender, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Debt or any other indulgence given by Lender to Borrower, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Lender in the remaining Property or the liability of Borrower to pay the Debt. No waiver by Lender shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated.
               (d) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof or decline to do so, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion.
               (e) Additionally, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default or if Guarantor fails to make any payment or to do any act as required in any of the Loan Documents, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to, or demand on, Guarantor and without releasing Guarantor from any obligation under the Loan Documents, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose the Loan Documents or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), with interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note) for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.

18


 

               (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Security Instrument to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents or any other collateral.
               (g) Borrower shall have Three (3) Business Days after notice from Lender to cure any monetary or payment Event of Default. Upon notice by Lender, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days from the date of said notice to cure any non-monetary Event of Default. Provided, however, in the event of a non-monetary event of default, if Borrower is diligently attempting to remedy the non monetary event of default, Lender shall reasonably extend the time for Borrower, not to exceed one-hundred twenty (120) days, to come into conformance with its obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents.
          Section 7.3. Right of Entry. In addition to any other rights or remedies granted under this Agreement, Lender and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property at any reasonable time during the term of the Loan upon two (2) business days notice to Borrower. If Lender’s entry and inspection of the Property reveals a Borrower Event of Default the cost of such inspections or audits, including the cost of all follow up or additional investigations or inquiries deemed reasonably necessary by Lender, shall be borne by Borrower. The cost of such inspections, to the extent payable by Borrower, if not paid for by Borrower following demand, may, at Lender’s option, be added to the principal balance of the sums due under the Note and shall bear interest thereafter until paid at the Default Rate.
          Section 7.4. Costs of Enforcement. In the event of the (i) exercise of any remedy by Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or subsequent to the Security Instrument in which proceeding Lender is made a party, (iii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, rehabilitation, liquidation or other similar proceeding in respect of Guarantor or an assignment by Guarantor for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) enforcement of any obligations of or collection of any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property, or (v) incurring of any costs or expenses by Lender in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out”, then Borrower and/or Borrower, its successors or assigns, shall pay to Lender on demand any and all expenses, including legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Lender in protecting Lender’s interest in the Property or in collecting any amount payable hereunder or in enforcing Lender’s rights hereunder with respect to the Property, whether or not any legal proceeding is commenced hereunder or thereunder and whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid or incurred by Lender until such expenses are paid by Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
          Section 7.5. Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or

19


 

Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Any and all amounts collected or retained by Lender after an Event of Default has occurred, including interest at the Default Rate, late charges or any escrowed amount, may be applied by Lender to payment of the Debt in any order or priority that Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect.
ARTICLE VIII INDEMNIFICATION.
          Section 8.1. General Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnifications provided herein or in the other Loan Documents, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party, Borrower and Guarantor shall, at its sole cost and expense to the maximum extent allowed by law, including as a result of any act or inaction of an Indemnified Party, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon, or incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of, or in any way relating to or connected with, any one or more of the following: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of, or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (b) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (d) any failure of the Property to be in compliance with any Legal Requirements; (e) any failure of the Property to comply with any Access Laws; (f) any representation or warranty made in any of the Loan Documents being false or misleading in any material respect as of the date such representation or warranty was made or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; (g) any claim by brokers, finders or similar Persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with the Loan (other than one claiming to have dealt exclusively with, or for the sole benefit of, Lender) or any Lease or other transaction including any sale of any condominium unit involving the Property; and (h) the claims of any Tenant and not applied in accordance with the Loan Documents (except any claims of Tenants first accruing after the date Lender or Lender’s Affiliate takes title to the Property). Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this paragraph shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall become immediately due and payable and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of demand until paid. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 8.1 shall survive termination, satisfaction, or assignment of this Agreement, the repayment of the Debt and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

20


 

          Section 8.2. Duty to Defend; Attorneys’ Fees and Other Fees and Expenses. Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals reasonably approved by the Indemnified Parties.
          Section 8.3. Changes in Laws Regarding Taxation. If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
ARTICLE IX WAIVERS
          Section 9.1. Waiver of Counterclaim. All amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff or any deduction whatsoever.
          Section 9.2. Marshalling and Other Matters. Borrower hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale hereunder of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein and the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of the Obligations. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every Person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of this Agreement and on behalf of all Persons to the extent permitted by applicable law. Borrower hereby waives and renounces all homestead and exemption rights provided by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Debt, or any part thereof. As provided by Iowa Code 561.22, I understand that homestead property is in many cases protected from the claims of creditors and exempt from judicial sale; and that by signing this contract, I voluntarily give up the right to this protection for this property with respect to claims based on this contract. The interests and rights of Lender under the Note, the Security Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Lender may grant with respect to any of the Debt, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Lender may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, Obligor or surety of any of the Debt.

Borrower shall not be entitled to, and hereby waives the right to receive, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

21


 

          Section 9.4. Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO DEMAND A JURY TRIAL IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INVOLVING THIS AGREEMENT OR LOAN DOCUMENTS. BORROWER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVERS WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS SECTION MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS
          Section 10.1. Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant to any of the Loan Documents shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
          Section 10.2. Governing Law/Venue/Jurisdiction. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND INTERPRETED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF IOWA.

          Section 10.3. Modification; Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent by Lender to any departure by Borrower from the Obligations, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the Person against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
          Section 10.4. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance or compliance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, nor Lender’s delay in exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be

22
