Section 9.6 BLANKET POLICY. Any party hereto may carry any insurance required to be maintained under this ARTICLE 9 under a "blanket policy" covering other properties of such party and/or Person, provided that the other party shall be furnished evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the protection afforded under such blanket insurance policy is not less than that which would have been obtained under separate policies and that such coverage is consistent with prudent commercial business practices.

Any insurance proceeds or other settlements in lieu thereof ("INSURANCE PROCEEDS") made with respect to the damage or destruction of any land, building(s) or other improvements shall belong to the party upon whose Lot such land, building(s) or other improvements were located, subject to the provisions of any Financing Agreement.
