Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Buyer agrees that Lender will be entitled to and it consents to immediate relief from the automatic stay imposed by the Code to allow Lender to take any and all actions necessary, desirable or appropriate to enforce any rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the right to possession of the Property, collection of rents, and/or the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose Lender’s liens and security interests. Buyer further agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code which postpones, prevents, delays or otherwise hinders Lender’s efforts to collect the amounts due under the Note or to liquidate any of the collateral therefor shall be deemed to have been filed in bad faith and, therefore, shall be subject to prompt dismissal or conversion to a liquidation case under the Code upon motion therefor by Lender. Further, Buyer agrees that it will not seek, apply for or cause the entry of any order enjoining, staying, or otherwise prohibiting or interfering with Lender’s obtaining an order granting relief from the automatic stay and enforcement of any rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender’s right to possession of the Property, collection of rents and/or the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose Lender’s liens and security interests under the Loan Documents.

Principal further agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code which postpones, prevents, delays or otherwise hinders Lender’s efforts to collect the amounts due under the Note or to liquidate any of the collateral therefor shall be deemed to have been filed in bad faith and, therefore, shall be subject to prompt dismissal or conversion to a liquidation case under the Code upon motion therefor by Lender. Further, Principal agrees that it will not seek, apply for or cause the entry of any order enjoining, staying, or otherwise prohibiting or interfering with Lender’s obtaining an order granting relief from the automatic stay and enforcement of any rights which Lender may have under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender’s right to possession of the Property, collection of rents and/or the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose Lender’s liens and security interests under the Loan Documents.
