(d)                                 Unless and until otherwise directed in writing by the Bank after the occurrence of an event of default and only during the continuation of such event of default (and presuming that the Bank has not accelerated the maturity of the Obligation involved), the Borrower shall have the right to make and retain all collections from time to time coming due on CRE Mortgage Collateral, to execute and deliver satisfactions of or releases of such CRE Mortgage Collateral paid in full, and to take all necessary legal action to enforce collection of delinquent payments, including foreclosure, without disclosing this security arrangement and trust, and to use all collections so made by the Borrower in its ordinary course of business.

At the Bank’s demand, the Borrower will physically deliver to the Bank any such insurance policies. The Bank may cause any such mortgaged property to be insured if the Borrower fails to do so, and any such expense shall be an additional Obligation hereunder.

 

(g)                                 Borrower shall at all times ensure that all CRE Mortgage Collateral that Borrower has certified, listed or otherwise represented or warranted to the Bank is Eligible Mortgage Collateral complies with minimum underwriting, credit administration, loan to value ratio, appraisal, documentation and other requirements for such Eligible CRE Mortgage Collateral provided in the Supplemental Collateral Guide.
