12. SECURITY INTEREST AND SET-OFF.

12.1. Security Interest. Borrower and Guarantor hereby grant to Lender a lien, security interest and right of setoff, as security for all Obligations, and all other obligations and liabilities to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Lender or any entity under the control of Lender, or in transit to any of them.

12.2. Set-Off and Debit. (a) The Borrower grants to the Lender a continuing lien on and security interest in any and all deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Lender to the Borrower any cash, securities, instruments or other property of the Borrower and each endorser and guarantor hereof in the possession of Lender, whether for safekeeping or otherwise, or in transit to or from the Lender (regardless of the reason the Lender had received the same or whether the Lender has conditionally released the same) as security for the full and punctual payment and performance of all of the liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to the Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and such deposits and other sums may be applied or set off against such liabilities and obligations of the Borrower or any endorser or guarantor hereof to the Lender at any time, whether or not such are then due, whether or not demand has been made and whether or not other collateral is then available to the Lender.

Within five (5) Business Days of making any such set off, debit or appropriation and application, Xxxxxx agrees to notify Borrower thereof, provided the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off, debit or appropriation and application. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE LENDER TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE LOAN, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Lender shall also have the right, at its option, upon the occurrence of any event which would entitle Lender to set off or debit as set forth in Section 12.2, to freeze, block or segregate any such deposits, balances and other sums so that Borrower may not access, control or draw upon the same.

13.2. Adjustment of Claims. All insurance claims shall be adjusted by Xxxxxxxx, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but subject to Xxxxxx’s prior written approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that if any Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right to adjust and compromise such claims without the approval of Borrower.

13.3. Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds of insurance shall be paid to Lender and, at Lender’s option, be applied to Borrower’s Obligations or released, in whole or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement (collectively, “Cost To Repair”). In the event any such insurance proceeds shall be used to reduce the Obligations, the same shall be applied by Xxxxxx, after the deduction therefrom and repayment to Lender of any and all costs incurred by Lender in the recovery thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), in any manner it shall designate.

13.4. Conditions To Release of Insurance Proceeds.

In the event that any portion of the condemnation awards or compensation shall be used to reduce the Obligations, the same shall be applied by Lender in any manner it shall designate, in its discretion, including but not limited to, application of such award or compensation to the then unpaid installments of the principal balance due under the Note in the inverse order of their maturity such that the regular payments under the Note shall not be reduced or altered in any manner. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the proceeds of any award or compensation, but shall be entitled to the payment by Borrower of interest at the applicable rate provided for in the Note.
