(a)    The Lender may determine in its sole discretion which Remedy or Remedies to pursue and the Lender may pursue any one or more of the Remedies without prejudice to the right of the Lender to pursue any other Remedy.
 
(b)    All sums received by the Lender through pursuit of any one or more Remedies shall not prejudice the right of the Lender to receive payment of sums through pursuit of any other Remedy (except only that money collected and applied to the Debt will reduce its unpaid balance pro tanto).
 
(c)     Realization upon the collateral security or guarantees and the other obligations provided for in any Credit Document and application of the proceeds thereof to reduce the Debt shall not affect or impair the Lender’s right until the entire Debt is paid to seek enforcement of any other Credit Document in accordance with its terms.
 
 
24

 
 
(d)    The Lender may apply any sums realized through pursuit of any Remedy toward payment of principal, interest and other expenses owing by the Borrower in such order of priority and manner that the Lender may elect in its sole discretion.
 
Section 6.4       Lender’s Options Concerning Managers.  If the Lender shall exercise its rights under Section 6.2(b) hereof, the Lender shall be authorized, at its option, to discontinue the services of any Manager, and to employ one or more independent managers to manage the Premises and the Lender shall have no liability or responsibility to the Borrower or any other Person with respect to its or their management of the Premises so long as the Lender exercises good faith in the selection of such manager or managers.
 
Section 6.5       Commitments Lapse.  In addition to the rights and remedies of the Lender set forth in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Default, the commitment of the Lender (if then outstanding) to make advances against the Note or otherwise shall cease until the Lender shall declare that all such Defaults have been cured to the satisfaction of the Lender, or until the Lender shall have waived same; but the Lender may, at its option, continue or at any time commence making one or more advances and in any case all advances by the Lender shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to commitment (as such term is used and defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in force in the State of Texas) and pursuant to this Agreement.
 
Section 6.6        Costs Paid are Sums Lent.  All costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in exercising its rights under Section 6.2 hereof shall, as paid, be deemed to be an advance of Loan proceeds against the Note or at the option of the Lender (notwithstanding any contrary provision of Section 2.l or 2.2 of this Agreement), shall constitute indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender payable on demand, bearing interest at the Past Due Rate from the date paid by the Lender.  All such demand indebtedness shall constitute a part of the Debt and shall be secured by all liens and security interests of the Credit Documents.
 
Section 6.7        Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  All powers, rights and remedies of the Lender set forth in this Article VI shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other power, right or remedy available to the Lender under this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or the law to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and no delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any power, right or remedy accruing to the Lender shall impair any such power, right or remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of the right to exercise any such power, right or remedy.  Every power, right and remedy of the Lender set forth in this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or afforded by law may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Lender.
 
Section 6.8        Termination.  This Agreement shall not terminate until payment of the Debt in full, complete performance of all of the obligations of the Obligors under the Credit Documents and final termination of Lender’s obligation – if any – to make further advances under the Note or to provide any other financial accommodations to any Obligor.

ARTICLE 7
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 7.1        Documentation Requirements; Sufficiency of Consents and Approvals.  Each written instrument and Credit Document required by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to be furnished to the Lender shall be duly executed by the Person or Persons specified (or where no particular Person is specified, by such Person as the Lender shall require), duly acknowledged where required by the Lender and, in the case of affidavits and similar sworn instruments, duly sworn to and subscribed before a notary public duly authorized to act in the premises by Governmental Authority; shall be furnished to the Lender in one or more copies as required by the Lender; and shall in all respects be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and to its legal counsel.  All title policies, surveys, appraisals and other evidence, information or documentation required by the Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and its legal counsel in all respects.
 
Section 7.2        Usury Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Credit Documents, it is expressly provided that in no case or event shall the aggregate of (a) all interest on the unpaid balance of the Note, accrued or paid from the date hereof and (b) the aggregate of any other amounts accrued or paid pursuant to the Note or any of the other Credit Documents, which under applicable laws are or may be deemed to constitute interest upon the Debt from the date hereof, ever exceed the Ceiling Rate.  In this connection, it is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intent of the Borrower and the Lender to contract in strict compliance with the applicable usury laws of the State of Texas and of the United States (whichever permit the higher rate of interest) from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Ceiling Rate.  The Obligors or other Persons now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Debt shall never be liable for interest in excess of the Ceiling Rate.  If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on the Debt include amounts which by law are deemed interest which would exceed the Ceiling Rate, the Borrower stipulates that such amounts will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on the part of the Borrower, the Lender, and the Person receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Person making such payment, refund the amount of such excess or, at the Lender’s option, credit such excess against the unpaid principal balance of the Debt.  In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder or holders of the Debt for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent required to avoid or minimize usury and to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Debt so that the interest rate does not exceed the Ceiling Rate.  The provisions of this Section shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, among the Borrower, and the Lender.
 
Section 7.3       Rights and Remedies are Cumulative; Loan Agreement Controls.  The benefits, rights and remedies of the Lender and the security contained herein or provided for in any of the other Credit Documents are cumulative; provided, however, that to the extent of any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision contained in any of the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
 
 
26

 
 
Section 7.4       Evidentiary Requirements.  Where evidence of the existence or non-existence of any circumstance or condition is required by this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to be furnished to the Lender, such evidence shall in all respects be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.
 
Section 7.5       Unlawful Provisions.  If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents is declared or adjudged by any Governmental Authority to be unenforceable or unlawful, then each such unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be deemed excised herefrom or therefrom, and the remainder of the Credit Document so affected, together with all rights and remedies granted thereby, shall continue and remain in full force and effect.
 
Section 7.6        No Waiver.  No course of dealing between the Lender and any Obligor or other Person, nor any delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any rights hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents, nor any failure of the Lender at any time to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall operate as a waiver of any rights of the Lender, except to the extent, if any, expressly waived in writing by the Lender.
 
Section 7.7       Survival, Republication and Binding Effect of Covenants, Representations and Warranties.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any Obligor in this Agreement, the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Credit Documents, and in any certificates or other documents or instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any advances of Loan proceeds made by the Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Debt is paid in full.  All such covenants, agreements, representations and warranties shall be binding upon any successors and assigns of the Borrower.
 
Section 7.8       Notices.  Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:
