4.                                       LENDER’S GENERAL POWERS:

 

Lender may take any of the following actions at any time, without notice, without Guarantor’s consent, and without making demand upon Guarantor:

 

A.    Modify the terms of the Note or any other Loan Document except to increase the amounts due under the Note;

B.    Refrain from taking any action on the Note, the Collateral, or any guarantee;

C.    Release any Borrower or any guarantor of the Note;

D.    Compromise or settle with the Borrower or any guarantor of the Note;

E.     Substitute or release any of the Collateral, whether or not Lender receives anything in return;

G.    Bid or buy at any sale of Collateral by Lender or any other lienholder, at any price Lender chooses; and

H.    Exercise any rights it has, including those in the Note and other Documents.

 

These actions will not release or reduce the obligations of Guarantor or create any rights or claims against Lender.

 

5.                                       FEDERAL LAW:

 

When SBA is the holder, the Note and this Guarantee will be construed and enforced under federal law, including SBA regulations.  Lender or SBA may use state or local procedures for filing papers, recording documents, giving notice, foreclosing liens, and other purposes.  By using such procedures, SBA does not waive any federal immunity from state or local control, penalty, tax, or liability.  As to this Guarantee, Guarantor may not claim or assert any local or state law against SBA to deny any obligation, defeat any claim of SBA, or preempt federal law.
