     B. Lien; Set-off By Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing lien for all indebtedness and other liabilities of Borrower to Lender upon any and all monies, securities, and other property of Borrower and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter held, or received by or in transit to, Lender from or for Borrower whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special) and credits of Borrower and any and all claims of Borrower against Lender, at any time existing. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower to set off, appropriate, and apply any or all items hereinabove referred to against all indebtedness or other liabilities of Borrower to Lender, whether under this Agreement, the Note, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising.

No delay by Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and no indulgence given to Borrower in case of any default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed as having created a course of dealing or performance contrary to the specific provisions of this Agreement or as a waiver of any default by such parties or any acquiescence therein or as a violation of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. No course of dealing between Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver of any of Lender’s rights.
     E. Amendments, Etc.
