(b) Take possession of the Property and let contracts for or otherwise proceed to operate and maintain the same, and all costs of operating and maintaining the Property shall be considered and be an additional loan to the Owner and the repayment thereof, together with interest thereon at the default interest rate set forth in the Note, shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall be repaid within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, and Owner agrees to pay the same. (c) Upon the happening of any Event of Default which may be cured by payment of money, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make such payment from its own funds.

If Lender advances its own funds for such purposes, such funds shall be considered advances under the Note and shall be secured by the Security Documents, notwithstanding that such advances may cause the total amount advanced hereunder to exceed the face amount of the Note or the amount committed to be advanced pursuant to this Agreement, and Owner shall immediately upon demand reimburse 14 Lender with interest at the default interest rate provided for in the Note from the date of such advance until the date of reimbursement. 10.02 APPLICATION OF OTHER FUNDS.

All remedies of Lender provided for herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to any and all other rights and remedies provided in the Note or Security Documents, or provided by law. The exercise of any right or remedy by Lender hereunder shall not in any way constitute a cure or waiver of default hereunder or under the Note or Security Documents, or invalidate any act done pursuant to any notice of default, or prejudice Lender in the exercise of any of its rights hereunder or under the Note or Security Documents unless, in the exercise of said rights, Lender realizes all amounts owed to it under the Note, the Security Documents and hereunder. 10.04 CONTEST OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Owner shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment by any third party, the assertion of which would constitute a default hereunder. Any such contest shall be prosecuted diligently and in a manner not prejudicial to Lender or its rights hereunder. Upon demand by Lender, Owner shall make suitable provision by deposit of funds with Lender, by bond satisfactory to Lender, or by such other device as Lender may approve in writing, for the possibility that the contest will be unsuccessful. Such provision shall be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor and, if made by deposit of funds with Lender, the amount so deposited shall be disbursed in accordance with the resolution of the contest either to Owner or the adverse claimant. 10.05 NO WAIVERS. No waiver by Lender of any default or breach by Owner hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Lender to take action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect any default other than the default in the waiver and it shall be operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Waivers of any covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. ARTICLE XI SURVIVAL OF WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS The warranties, representations, covenants and agreements set forth herein and in the Security Documents shall survive the making of the Loan and the execution and delivery of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect until the indebtedness secured by the Security Documents shall have been paid in full. 15 ARTICLE XII ASSIGNMENT 12.01 OWNER'S ASSIGNMENT.

Owner understands that Lender may transfer and assign its interest in the Loan, this Agreement and the Security Documents, pledge its interest in the Loan, this Agreement and the Security Documents or grant or sell participations in some or all of Owner's indebtedness outstanding under the Loan. In connection with any such transaction, Lender may disclose to each prospective and actual transferee, pledgee, purchaser or participant, any and all documents and information relating to the Loan. Owner shall execute such estoppels and confirmations as Lender may require in order to facilitate such financings or participations.
