14.2 Form of Documents.  The form and substance of all documents, instruments, and forms of evidence to be delivered to Lender under the terms of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents shall be subject to Lender’s approval and shall not be modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Lender’s prior written approval.
 
14.3 No Third Parties Benefited.  No Person other than Lender and Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under any of the Loan Documents.
 
14.4 Notices.  All notices, demands, or other communications under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (subject to change from time to time by written notice to all other parties to this Agreement).  All notices, demands or other communications shall be considered as properly given if delivered personally or sent by first class United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid, except that notice of Default may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Overnight Express Mail or by overnight commercial courier service, charges prepaid.  Notices so sent shall be effective three (3) days after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, and otherwise upon receipt; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.
 
14.5 Attorney-in-Fact.  Following an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lender, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Lender’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Lender deems appropriate to protect Lender’s interest under any of the Loan Documents.
 
14.6 Actions.  Borrower agrees that Lender, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Lender or Borrower under the Loan Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property or the Loan Documents, and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Lender upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Lender, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
 
14.7 Right of Contest.  Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment by any Person other than Lender which would constitute a Default if:  (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Lender determines is not prejudicial to Lender, and does not impair the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Lender any funds or other forms of assurance which Lender in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful.  Borrower’s compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default.
 
 
14

 
 
14.8 Relationship of Parties.  The relationship of Borrower and Lender under the Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
14.9 Delay Outside Lender’s Control.  Lender shall not be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Lender’s control.
 
14.10 Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Enforcement.  If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein.
 
14.11 Immediately Available Funds.  Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrower to Lender shall be payable only in United States currency, immediately available funds.
 
14.12 Lender’s Consent.  Wherever in this Agreement there is a requirement for Lender’s consent and/or a document to be provided or an action taken “to the satisfaction of Lender”, it is understood by such phrase that any such action shall not be binding upon Lender unless its consent, right or judgment is exercised in writing in a reasonable manner given the specific facts and circumstance applicable at the time.
 
14.13 Lender’s Agents.  Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of Lender’s rights under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents.  Any reference to Lender in any of the Loan Documents shall include Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors.  Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such Person or to Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.
 
 
15

 
 
14.14 Severability.  If any provision or obligation under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Note or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectability therefore, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lender’s obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower.
 
14.15 Heirs, Successors and Assigns.  Except as otherwise expressly provided under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties.

14.19 Modification, Waiver in Writing.  No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar to other circumstances.
