Lender shall have the right to require a new Appraisal of the Project to determine the LTV Ratio. Any and all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any new Appraisal shall be paid by Borrower; provided, so long as a default has not occurred, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for more than one new Appraisal more often than once each calendar year.

Lender may at any time sell, transfer, syndicate, grant participations in or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Loan (each such interest so disposed of being herein called a Transferred Interest) to banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions or other Persons acceptable to Lender (hereinafter called Transferees), pursuant to such transfer agreements, co lender agreements, participations agreements and/or agency agreements into which Lender and its Transferees may enter and by which, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall agree in writing to recognize, at no expense to Borrower. In addition, Lender may, at any time and from time to time, in its ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, (i) assign an undivided interest in the Loan to an Affiliate of Lender or to a successor entity by reason of any merger affecting Lender, or (ii) pledge or assign the same to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law. At the request of Lender, in the event of any such sale, assignment, transfer or syndication, Borrower, at no expense to Borrower, shall execute separate new Notes to the Assignor and its assignee, in the amounts of their respective interests in the Loan after said assignment, and shall deliver the same to the assignor and the assignee, in exchange for the assignors existing Note. All such separate new Notes shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits accorded to the Note under the terms of the Loan Documents. No such assignment shall be binding upon Borrower until Lender gives written notice thereof to Borrower. Lender may divulge all information relating to Borrower or the Project which Lender has to any actual or potential Transferee, and Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in connection with the transfer at no expense to Borrower. Borrower agrees that each Transferee shall be entitled to the benefits hereof with respect to its Transferred Interest and that each Transferee may exercise any and all rights of bankers lien, setoff and counterclaim as if such Transferee were a direct lender to Borrower. If Lender makes any assignment to a Transferee, then upon notice to Borrower such Transferee, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), shall become a lender hereunder and shall have all the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder, and Lender shall be released from its duties and obligations under this agreement to the extent of such assignment.
So long as (and only so long as) no Event of Default then exists at the time of a disposition of a Transferred Interest, confidential information regarding Borrower given to such Transferees shall be kept confidential except to the extent such Transferee is required to disclose such information by reason of any applicable law or regulation. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall Borrowers consent be required in connection with any sale, transfer, assignment or syndication of any portion of the Loan or any Lenders interest therein.

7.11 Entire Agreement; No Oral Modifications. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents mentioned herein and executed as of the date hereof set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements with respect thereto. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

7.14 Borrower-Lender Relationship. The relationship between Borrower and Lender created hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall be that of a borrower and a lender only, and in no event shall Lender be deemed to be a partner of, or a joint venturer with, Borrower.
7.15 Swap Transactions. Borrower may enter into one or more Swap Transactions and Swap Contracts with the Swap Counterparty on terms that are acceptable to Swap Counterparty in its sole discretion for the purpose of hedging and protecting against interest rate fluctuation risks with respect to the Loan. Upon the Maturity Date, or such earlier date that the Loan becomes due by reason of an Event of Default, or otherwise, or upon payment of the Loan in full, Lender may direct that all existing Swap Contracts be broken and discontinued, and any and all breakage fees, discontinuance fees, settlement obligations, and any and all other sums, fees and costs with respect to such Swap Transactions and Swap Contracts shall become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the respective Swap Contract, with the Borrower as the sole Defaulting Party as contemplated by the Swap Contract. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Borrower, Lender and Swap Counterparty, Borrowers obligations (including any payment obligations) with respect to any such Swap Contracts provided by or entered into with Swap Counterparty with respect to the Loan shall be secured by the Deed of Trust and all other collateral for the Loan, and any default by Borrower (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period) under any such Swap Contracts shall, at the discretion of the Lender, constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. As additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby transfers, assigns, and conveys to Lender and grants to Lender a security interest in, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, all of Borrowers present and future rights, titles and interests, but not its obligations, duties or liabilities for any breach, in, under and to all Swap Contracts and all Swap Transactions, any and all amounts received by Borrower in connection therewith or to which Borrower is entitled thereunder, and all proceeds of the foregoing. At Lenders option, all net amounts payable to Borrower under the Swap Contract shall be paid to Lender and shall be applied to pay interest or other amounts under the Loan. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of the Swap Contract, Borrower shall not modify or terminate the Swap Contract without the prior written consent of Lender.
Additionally, subject to the terms of the Swap Contract, if there is a default under any Swap Contract, Lender shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower (or its Affiliate) such action as Lender may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Swap Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower (or its Affiliate) or Swap Counterparty thereunder; provided, however, that before the occurrence of or after the cure of an Event of Default under this Agreement, Lender shall give prior written notice to Borrower before taking any such action. Solely for this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, to exercise, at the election of Lender, any and all rights and remedies of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the Swap Contract, including making any payments thereunder and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby, and to take any action that Lender may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, from time to time to institute and prosecute in the name and at the expense of Borrower, or otherwise, but for the benefit of Lender, any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Lender may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any kind, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise, at the election of Lender, any and all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to the Swap Contract, and generally to do all and any such action in relation thereto as Lender shall deem advisable, it being expressly understood and agreed that such Lender right and power of attorney is inoperative and inapplicable until such time as an Event of Default exists or a default exists under the Swap Contract beyond any applicable notice and cure period. Lender shall not incur any liability if any action so taken by Lender or on its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender is not hereby assuming any duties or obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) to make payments to Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract or under any other Loan Document. Such payment duties and obligations remain the responsibility of Borrower (or its Affiliate) notwithstanding any language in this Agreement.
7.16 Automatic Deduction and Credit. At Lenders option, payments owed by Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract may be credited against accrued interest and other payments owed by Borrower under the Loan. Lender will credit the applicable amounts on the dates the foregoing payments become due; provided, however, that if a due date does not fall on a Business Day, Lender will credit the applicable amounts on the first Business Day following such due date.
7.17 Borrower 2822 Waiver. In the event that, at any time, any surety exists that is liable upon only a portion of Borrowers obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower provides partial satisfaction of any such obligation(s), Borrower hereby waives any right it would otherwise have under Section 2822 of the California Civil Code or similar Oklahoma law or otherwise to designate the portion of the obligation to be satisfied. The designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Loan Documents, be made by Lender rather than by Borrower.
7.18 Notices to Ground Lessor. Lender acknowledges that pursuant to Section 6.2(B) of each Ground Lease Ground Lessor is entitled to receive a copy of any notice of default Lender delivers to Borrower. Lender agrees to to use its best efforts to deliver to Ground Lessor copies of any notices of default given to Borrower. Borrower covenants and agrees to deliver to Ground Lessor copies of any notices of default received by Lender promptly following receipt by Borrower.
