expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of an Grantor shall not affect Lender’s right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies. 
  
 Should Lender elect to declare Borrower in default in the event and event of default should occur, Lender shall do so in
writing and upon such notice Borrower shall have five (5) days from the date of the notice to cure any monetary default so declared by Lender and fifteen (15) days to cure any non-monetary default so declared by Lender.

 Consent to Loan Participation. Borrower agrees and consents to
Lender’s sale or transfer of this Loan, whether related or unrelated to Lender. Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about
Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy it may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all
notices of any repurchase of such participation interests. Borrower also agrees that the purchasers of any such participation interests will be considered as the absolute owners of such interests in the Loans and will have all the rights granted
under the participation agreement or agreements governing the sale of such participation interests. Borrower further waives all rights of offset or counterclaim that it may have now or later against Lender or against any purchaser of such a
participation interest and unconditionally agrees that either Lender or such purchaser may enforce Borrower’s obligation under the Loans irrespective of the failure or insolvency of any holder of any interest in the Loans. Borrower further

reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, enforcement, modification and collection of this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made pursuant to this Agreement. Lender may pay someone else to help

lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection services. Borrower also will pay any court
costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

Agreement by giving formal written notice to the other parties, specifying that the purpose of the notice is to change the party’s address. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there is more than one Borrower, notice to any Borrower
will constitute notice to all Borrowers. For notice purposes, Borrower will keep Lender informed at all times of Borrower’s current address(es). 
  
 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provisions of this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or
circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstances. If feasible, any such offending provision shall be deemed to be modified to be within the limits of enforceability or validity;
however, if the offending provision cannot be so modified, it shall be stricken and all other provisions of this Agreement in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable. 
  
 Subsidiaries of Borrower. To the extent the context of any provisions of this Agreement makes it appropriate,
including without limitation any representation, warranty or covenant , the word “Borrower” as used herein shall include all subsidiaries of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, under no circumstances shall this Agreement be
construed to require Lender to make any loan or other financial accommodations to any subsidiary of Borrower.

Borrower in this Agreement or in any certificate or other interest therein, without the prior written consent of Lender. 
  
 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. 
  
 Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in
writing and signed by Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a
waiver of Lender’s right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this 
  

 8 








 Agreement. No prior waiver by lender, not any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between
Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s rights or of any obligations of Borrower or of any Grantor as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such
consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent in subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
