(v) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall have the right to exercise its rights as owner under each Contract; provided, that Borrower shall not cancel or amend any Contract or do or suffer to be done any act which would impair the security constituted by this assignment without the prior written consent of Lender, which may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion; and

(b) Without limitation, the foregoing indemnities contained in this Section 11 shall apply to Lender with respect to matters which in whole or in part are caused by or arise out of, or are claimed to be caused by or arise out of, the negligence (whether sole, comparative or contributory) or strict liability of Lender. However, such indemnities shall not apply to Lender to the extent that the subject of the indemnification is caused by or arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

During the continuance of any other Event of Default, then and in every such case Lender may do any or all of the following: (i) declare the principal of the Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance, and Loan Expenses and other amounts due to Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to be due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and be due and payable, without notices, demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of payment default, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, protest and notice of protest, and any other notices of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers of the Note, and/or (ii) exercise any or all of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents, and/or (iii) refuse to advance any funds hereunder, including, without limitation, any Interest Reserve, and/or (iv) refuse to release any part of the Collateral for an amount less than the entire amount of the Debt, even if Lender had previously agreed to do so, and/or (v) exercise any or all other rights and remedies available to Lender at law and at equity, including, without limitation, such rights existing under the Uniform Commercial Code. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such power or right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude further exercise of that power or right.
| Loan Agreement Prosper 236, Collin County, Texas | 25 |
(c) If the Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after an Event of Default or failure to pay under the Note, or if all or any part of the Debt represented hereby is proved, established or collected in any court or in any bankruptcy, receivership, debtor relief, probate or other court proceedings, Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of the Note, jointly and severally, agree to pay reasonable attorneys' fees and collection costs to Lender in addition to the principal and interest payable under the Note.
13. Usury Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document:
(a) It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Debt, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Debt, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is the express intent of Borrower and Lender that all amounts charged in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower ay and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note or any other part of the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Debt.
| Loan Agreement Prosper 236, Collin County, Texas | 26 |
(b) To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Highest Lawful Rate payable on the Note or any other part of the Debt, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Highest Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by such applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
14. Indemnity; Release. Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender, upon demand, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements (including reasonable, documented fees of attorneys, accountants, experts and advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever, now existing (in this section, collectively called “Liabilities and Costs”) to the extent actually imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in its capacity as lender hereunder growing out of, resulting from or in any other way associated with (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions and events (including the enforcement or defense thereof) at any time associated therewith or contemplated therein, (b) any claim that the Loan evidenced hereby is contractually usurious, and (c) any use, handling, storage, transportation, or disposal of hazardous or toxic materials on or about the Property.
The foregoing indemnifications shall apply whether or not such Liabilities and Costs are in any way or to any extent owned in whole or in part under any claim or theory of strict liability, or are caused in whole or in part by any negligent act or omission of any kind by Lender;
provided only that Lender shall not be entitled under this section to receive indemnification for that portion, if any, of any Liabilities and Costs which is proximately caused by its own individual gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in a final judgment. If any Person (including Borrower) ever alleges such gross negligence or willful misconduct by Lender, the indemnification provided for in this section shall nonetheless be paid upon demand, subject to later adjustment or reimbursement, until such time as a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final judgment as to the extent and effect of the alleged gross negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this section, the term “Lender” shall refer not only to the Person designated as such in this Agreement but also to each partner, director, officer, attorney, employee, representative and Affiliate of such Person.
For good and valuable consideration set forth herein, including the promises, agreements, covenants, representations and obligations set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby releases and forever discharges, and covenants not to xxx or file any charges or claims against Lender for any and all existing or future claims, demands and causes of action, in contract or in tort, at law or in equity, known or unknown, pending or threatened, for all existing and future damages arising out of or in any way associated with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Loan made pursuant hereto and thereto.
| Loan Agreement Xxxxxxx 000, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx | 00 |
00. No Presumption. Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that they have read and fully understand the terms and provisions hereof, have had an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with legal counsel and have executed this Agreement and the other Loan Documents based on their own judgment. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, the Loan Documents will be construed as if drafted jointly by Borrower and Lender and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of authorship of any provision of the Loan Documents.
16. Set-Off. Borrower hereby gives and confirms to Lender a right of set-off of all moneys, securities and other property of Borrower (whether special, general or limited) and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter delivered to remain with or in transit in any manner to Lender, its correspondents or its agents from or for Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise or coming into possession of Lender in any way, and also, of all other liabilities and obligations now or hereafter owed by Borrower to Lender, contracted with or acquired by Lender, whether joint, several, absolute, contingent, secured, unsecured, matured or unmatured, hereby authorizing Lender at any time after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without prior notice, to apply such balances, credits of claims or any part thereof, to such liabilities in such amounts as it may select, whether contingent, unmatured or otherwise, and whether any collateral security therefor is deemed adequate or not. The rights described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by Borrower.
17. No Third Party Beneficiaries. The benefits of this Agreement and the Loan Documents will not inure to any third party. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Loan Documents or any conduct or course of conduct by Borrower or Lender, before or after the date of this Agreement, this Agreement will not be construed as creating any rights, claims, or causes of action against Lender, or any of its officers, directors, agents or employees, in favor of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier of labor or materials, or any of their respective creditors, or any other person or entity other than Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Advances made to any Person other than Borrower (including, without limitation, any contractor, subcontractor or supplier of labor or materials) will not be deemed recognition by Lender of any third-party beneficiary status claimed by any such person or entity.
18. Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies that Lender is afforded by reason of the Loan Documents are separate and cumulative with respect to Borrower or any of them and otherwise and may be pursued separately, successively, or concurrently, as Lender deems advisable. In addition, all such rights and remedies are non-exclusive and shall in no way limit or prejudice Lender’s ability to pursue any other legal or equitable rights or remedies that may be available to Lender.
19. Notice. Any notice, request or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be given in writing by any of the following methods: (i) registered or certified mail, (ii) delivered personally by courier service, or (iii) delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service; in each case, addressed to the respective parties as follows:

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE
(Prosper 236, Collin County, Texas)
UDF X Xxxx # 0000
| X.X. $9,500,000.00 | July 15, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, PROSPER 236, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Borrower”), as borrower, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of UNITED DEVELOPMENT FUNDING INCOME FUND V, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Lender”), the principal sum of U.S. NINE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($9,500,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced by Lender from time to time hereunder to or for the benefit or account of Borrower, together with interest thereon at the rate of interest hereinafter provided, without right of offset in favor of Borrower.
1. Loan Documents; Security. This Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”) evidences the Loan governed by that certain Loan Agreement dated as of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender (as it may be amended, modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”). This Note is the “Note” as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement, and terms with their initial letters capitalized terms and used in this Note, but not otherwise defined herein, shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. Payment hereof is secured by, among other things, a Deed of Trust executed by Borrower, as grantor for the benefit of Lender, covering certain real property located in Collin County, Texas and that certain Pledge Agreement executed by Pledgor, for the benefit of Lender, covering certain Pledged Collateral, and reference is hereby made to said Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents for a description of the security and the liens therein granted and the rights of Borrower and Lender thereunder.
2. Interest. The outstanding principal amount of this Note shall bear interest on each day outstanding at the Base Rate in effect on such day, unless the Default Rate shall apply. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal amount of this Note shall, at Lender’s option, automatically and without the necessity of notice, bear interest from the date of such Event of Default at the Default Rate, until all such delinquent amounts are paid and such breach or Event of Default has been cured to Lender’s satisfaction as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so cured, and or waived by Lender as confirmed by Lender’s execution of a written agreement specifically acknowledging and describing the Event of Default so waived. “Base Rate” means the lesser of (i) thirteen percent (13%) per annum, accrued at least monthly (on the last day of each calendar month) and compounded annually on the anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate. “Default Rate” means the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18.0%) per annum, accrued at least monthly (on the last day of each calendar month) and compounded annually on the anniversary of the Effective Date, or (ii) the Highest Lawful Rate. “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by Lender in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Texas (or applicable United States federal law, to the extent that it permits Lender to contract or charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law), taking into account all fees and expenses contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Lender in connection with the transaction relating to the Loan Agreement and the Debt evidenced hereby or by the other Loan Documents which are treated as interest under applicable law.
3. Interest and Principal Payments. Except earlier upon any acceleration of this Note:
(a) Borrower promises to pay to Lender monthly Accrued Interest Payments on the last day of each calendar month for interest accrued during such calendar month, unless Lender makes an Interest Reserve Accrual to defer such Accrued Interest Payment, as provided in Section 5(b) of the Loan Agreement;
| Secured Promissory Note Meadowbrook Bridge Loan, Collin County, Texas | 1 |
(b) in addition to the payments required by the provisions of the clause above, concurrently with the Disposition of the Property, Borrower promises to pay Lender, the outstanding principal balance of the Note, together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon, unpaid Loan Expenses and other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents, on or prior to the Maturity Date; and
(c) in addition to the payments required by the provisions of the clauses above, Borrower promises to pay to Lender the outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon, unpaid Loan Expenses and other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents, on or prior to the Maturity Date, which is October 15, 2018.
4. Payments. All amounts are payable to Lender in lawful money of the United States of America at the address for Lender provided in or pursuant to the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement, or at such other address as from time to time may be designated by Lender. Borrower shall make each payment which it owes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Lender in full and in lawful money of the United States, without set-off, deduction or counterclaim. Under no circumstance may Borrower offset any amount owed by Borrower to Lender under this Agreement with an amount owed by Lender to Borrower under any other arrangement. All payments shall be made by cashier's check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Should any such payment become due and payable on a day other than a business day, the date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding business day, and, in the case of a required payment of principal, interest or Loan Expenses or other amounts then due, interest shall accrue and be payable on such amount for the period of such extension. Each such payment must be received by Lender not later than 3:00 p.m., Grapevine, Texas time on the date such payment becomes due and payable. Any payment received by Lender after such time will be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding business day.
5. Default and Remedies.
(a) The happening or occurrence, at any time and from time to time, of any Event of Default as defined in the Loan Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note:
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection 12(a)(v), (vi) or (vii) of the Loan Agreement, all obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without demand, presentment, notice of demand or of dishonor and nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate, declaration or notice of acceleration, or any other notice or declaration of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this Note. During the continuance of any other Event of Default, then and in every such case Lender may do any or all of the following: (i) declare the principal of this Note together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal balance, and Loan Expenses and other amounts due to Lender under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to be due and payable immediately, and the same shall become and be due and payable, without notices, demands for payment, presentations for payment, notices of payment default, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, protest and notice of protest, and any other notices of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower and any and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this Note, and/or (ii) exercise any or all of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents, and/or (iii) refuse to advance any funds hereunder, including, without limitation, any Interest Reserve, and/or (iv) exercise any or all other rights and remedies available to Lender at law and at equity, including, without limitation, such rights existing under the Uniform Commercial Code. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any power under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such power or right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude further exercise of that power or right.
| Secured Promissory Note Meadowbrook Bridge Loan, Collin County, Texas | 2 |
6. Attorneys' Fees and Costs. If Lender retains an attorney-at-law in connection with any Event of Default or at maturity or to collect, enforce, or defend this Note or any part hereof, or any of the other Loan Documents, in any lawsuit or in any probate, reorganization, bankruptcy or other proceeding, or otherwise, Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, including but not limited to, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not any legal action shall be instituted.
7. Usury Savings Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or any other Loan Document:
(a) It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Debt, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Debt, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is the express intent of Borrower and Lender that all amounts charged in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Debt then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Debt shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to this Note or any other part of the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Debt.
| Secured Promissory Note Meadowbrook Bridge Loan, Collin County, Texas | 3 |
(b) To the extent that Lender is relying on Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code to determine the Highest Lawful Rate payable on this Note or any other part of the Debt, Lender will utilize the weekly ceiling from time to time in effect as provided in such Chapter 303, as amended. To the extent United States federal law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, receive or reserve a greater amount of interest than under Texas law, Lender will rely on United States federal law instead of such Chapter 303 for the purpose of determining the Highest Lawful Rate. Additionally, to the extent permitted by applicable law now or hereafter in effect, Lender may, at its option and from time to time, utilize any other method of establishing the Highest Lawful Rate under such Chapter 303 or under other applicable law by giving notice, if required, to Borrower as provided by such applicable law now or hereafter in effect.
8. Waiver. BORROWER AND ANY SURETY, ENDORSER OR GUARANTOR OF THIS NOTE SEVERALLY AND EXPRESSLY (A) WAIVE AND RELINQUISH PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR NONPERFORMANCE, PROTEST, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION, GRACE, DILIGENCE IN COLLECTING THIS NOTE OR ENFORCING ANY SECURITY THEREFOR, OR ANY OTHER NOTICES OR ANY OTHER ACTION, AND (B) CONSENT TO ALL RENEWALS, EXTENSIONS, REARRANGEMENTS AND MODIFICATIONS WHICH FROM TIME TO TIME MAY BE GRANTED BY LENDER WITHOUT NOTICE AND TO ALL PARTIAL PAYMENTS HEREON, WHETHER BEFORE OR AFTER MATURITY, WITHOUT PREJUDICE TO LENDER. LENDER SHALL SIMILARLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEAL IN ANY WAY, AT ANY TIME, WITH ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING PARTIES WITHOUT NOTICE TO ANY OTHER PARTY, AND TO GRANT ANY SUCH PARTY ANY EXTENSIONS OF TIME FOR PAYMENT OF ANY OF SAID INDEBTEDNESS, OR TO GRANT ANY OTHER INDULGENCES OR FORBEARANCES WHATSOEVER, WITHOUT NOTICE TO ANY OTHER PARTY AND WITHOUT IN ANY WAY AFFECTING THE PERSONAL LIABILITY OF ANY PARTY TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
9. Choice of Law. Except to the extent that the validity or perfection of security interests or remedies in respect of any particular Collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the state of Texas, this Note and the other Loan Documents shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the state of Texas, without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
10. Notices. Any notice or demand required or given hereunder shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Note and all the covenants, promises and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, and its successors and assigns.
| Secured Promissory Note Meadowbrook Bridge Loan, Collin County, Texas | 4 |
12. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations of Borrower under this Note.
13. Termination. This Note may not be terminated orally, but only by a discharge in writing signed by Lender at the time such discharge is sought.
14. Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the money, securities or other property of Borrower given to Lender now or in the future that may exist under applicable law, Lender shall have and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a lien upon and a right of setoff after reasonable notice to Borrower against all money, securities and other property of Borrower, now or hereafter in possession of or on deposit with Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit, for safe-keeping or otherwise, and every such lien and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to Borrower. No lien or right of setoff shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part of Lender, or by any neglect to exercise such right of setoff or to enforce such lien, or by any delay in so doing, and every right of setoff and lien shall continue in full force and effect until such right of setoff or lien is specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing executed by Lender.
15. Statement of Unpaid Balance. At any time and from time to time, Borrower will furnish promptly, upon the request of Lender, a written statement or affidavit, in form satisfactory to Lender, stating the unpaid balance of the Debt and that there are no offsets or defenses against full payment of the Debt and the terms hereof, or if there are any such offsets or defenses known by Borrower, specifying them.
16. NO ORAL AGREEMENTS. THIS SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL, ENTIRE AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PRIOR COMMITMENTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED OR VARIED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OR DISCUSSIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO. The provisions hereof and the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Lender.
