(b) Each policy for liability insurance shall show the Trustee as an additional insured. (c) Each insurance policy shall provide that at least 30 days' prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Trustee by the insured. (d) Such Grantor shall, if so requested by the Trustee, deliver to the Trustee a copy of each insurance policy. (e) All payments in respect of property insurance if required pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage or any other Note Document to be delivered to the Trustee shall be deposited to the Collateral Account (as provided in Section 4.3), and if there shall be no Collateral Account shall be paid to such Grantor. SECTION 4.6 Transfers and Other Liens.
