7.    This Agreement shall in no way adversely affect or impair the lien priority of the Deed of Trust or the other Loan Documents.

11.    No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement or under any document delivered by Borrower pursuant hereto or heretofore pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby shall impair any right, power or remedy which Lender may have, nor shall any such delay be construed to be a waiver of any of such rights, powers or remedies, or an acquiescence in any breach or default under this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, nor shall any waiver of any breach or default of Borrower be deemed a waiver of any default or breach subsequently occurring.
 




12.    If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
