then Lender shall have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the New

failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy under this

not executed, delivered or endorsed in a similar context or on a prior
occasion).

counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be

comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, on the
subject matter hereof.
