5.13 Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. Without the prior written consent of the Lender, the Borrower shall not form any subsidiary, become a general or limited partner in any partnership or become a party to a joint venture. If the Lender grants its consent to the formation or acquisition of a subsidiary Borrower, such entity shall cause each subsidiary to perform and observe all of the covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrower agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in enforcing any obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees. No failure or delay by the Lender in exercising any power or right will operate as a waiver of such power or right, nor will any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other future exercise of such power or right, or the exercise of any other power or right.

6.3 Borrower to Pay Fees and Charges. The Borrower shall pay all fees and charges incurred in the procuring, making and enforcement of the Loan, including without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of Lender’s attorneys, charges for appraisals, the fee of Lender’s inspector and construction consultant, fees and expenses relating to examination of title, title insurance premiums, surveys, and mortgage recording, documentary, transfer or other similar taxes and revenue stamps, loan extension fees, if any, and the Lender’s fees for the Loan.

The foregoing shall not be construed as a waiver by the Borrower of any such rights or claims against the Lender, but any recovery upon any such rights or claims shall be had from the Lender separately, it being the intent of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay, absolutely and unconditionally, all amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.14 No Merger. The Borrower and the Lender expressly agree that the Borrower’s agreement and obligation to pay the Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and all other litigation expenses, shall not be merged into any judgment obtained by the Lender, but shall survive the same and shall not be extinguished by any monetary judgment.
