(7) Anything else happens that either significantly impairs the value of the Property or, unless controlled by the New Jersey Banking Law, causes Lender to reasonably believe that Lender will have difficulty collecting the Loan.

REMEDIES.   After Borrower defaults, and after Lender gives any legally required notice and opportunity to cure, Lender may at its option use any and all remedies Lender has under state or federal law or in any of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, terminating any commitment or obligation to make additional advances or making all or any part of the amount owing immediately due.

Lender can sue all or any of the Borrowers upon breach of performance.  The duties and benefits of this Loan will bind and benefit the successors and assigns of Borrower and Lender.

Amendment, Integration And Severability.   The Loan Documents may not be amended or modified by oral agreement.  Borrower agrees that any party signing this Agreement as Borrower is authorized to modify the terms of the Loan Documents.  Borrower agrees that Lender may inform any party who guarantees this Loan of any Loan accommodations, renewals, extensions, modification, substitutions, or future advances.  The Loan Documents are the complete and final expression of the understanding between Borrower and Lender.  If any provision of the Loan Documents is unenforceable, then the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining provisions will be enforceable.

Waivers And Consent.   Borrower, to the extent permitted by law, consents to certain actions Lender may take, and generally waives defenses that may be available based on these actions or based on the status of a party to the Loan.  Lender may renew or extend payments on the Loan.  Lender may release any borrower, endorser, guarantor, surety, or any other co-signer.  Lender may release, substitute, or impair any Property securing the Loan.  Lender’s course of dealing, or Lender’s forbearance from, or delay in, the exercise of any of Lender’s rights, remedies, privileges, or right to insist upon Borrower’s strict performance of any provisions contained in the Loan Documents, will not be construed as a waiver by Lender, unless the waiver is in writing and signed by Lender.  Lender may participate or syndicate the Loan and share any information that Lender decides is necessary about Borrower and the Loan with the other participants.

The section headings are for convenience only and are not to be used to interpret or define the terms of this Agreement.  Unless otherwise indicated, the terms of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code.

Notice to one party will be deemed to be notice to all parties.  Time is of the essence.
