without waiving or releasing any of borrower's Obligations or any Event of
Default hereunder, may at any time or times thereafter (but shall be under no
obligation to do so) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay
such premium and take any other action with respect thereto which Lender deems
advisable. All sums so disbursed by Lender, Including reasonable attorneys'
fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be part
of Borrower's Liabilities, payable by Borrower to Lender on demand.
