5.3 | Waiver of Default |
The Lender may at any time waive in writing any Default which may have occurred, provided that no such waiver shall extend to, or be taken in any manner whatsoever to affect, any subsequent Default or the rights or remedies resulting therefrom.

The Borrower binds and obliges itself to yield up possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Lender on demand at any time after Default and prior to the satisfaction in full of the Indebtedness and agrees to put no obstacles in the way of, but to facilitate by all legal means, the actions of the Lender hereunder, and not to interfere with the carrying out of the powers hereby granted to it.

6.4 | Lender Entitled to Perform Covenants |
If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant on its part herein contained, the Lender may, in its discretion, perform any of the said covenants capable of being performed by it, and if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, the Lender may make payments or expenditure with its own funds, or with money borrowed by or advanced to it for such purpose, but shall be under no obligation to do so, and all sums so expended or advanced shall be at once payable by the Borrower on demand, shall bear interest at the rate of Twenty-Five percent (25%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, until paid, and shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the Lender in priority to the Indebtedness, but no such performance or payment shall be deemed to relieve the Borrower from any Default hereunder unless and until the Lender is fully reimbursed for all sums advanced hereunder together with interest thereon as herein provided.
6.5 | The Lender as Agent of Borrower and Power of Attorney |
Effective after Default and written notification by the Lender that it intends to enforce its Security, the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender to be its attorney, and in its name and on its behalf, to execute and carry out any deeds, documents, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances, consents and things which the Borrower ought to, or may, sign, execute and do hereunder, and generally to use its name in the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on the Lender, with full power of substitution and revocation. In the exercise of all of its rights hereunder, the Lender shall be, so far as concerns responsibility for its action or inaction, the agent of the Borrower.
6.6 | For the Protection of the Lender |
In realizing upon the Mortgaged Property, the Lender shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by any demand, collection, enforcement, sale or other realization thereof, or the failure to, or delay in, demand, collect, enforce or sell any portion, and the Lender shall not be bound to protect the Mortgaged Property from depreciating in value. Upon any sale or realization of the Mortgaged Property by way of public auction, the Lender may become purchaser free from any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity is expressly waived by the Borrower, and the Lender may, in paying the purchase price, apply so much of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder on account of the purchase price as may be necessary for such purpose.
