 Any such discharge or release, and any
composition or arrangement which the Guarantor may effect with Borrower shall be deemed to be made subject to the condition that it shall be void if any payment or security which the Lender may previously have received or may thereafter receive from
Borrower or the Guarantor or any other person in respect of the Secured Indebtedness is set aside under any applicable law or proves to have been for any reason invalid. 
  

	2.05	Demand 

 Any demand for payment of the Secured Indebtedness or any part thereof may be
