The Borrower further agrees to pay to the Agent (with funds provided by the Advances or by the Lessee for such purpose in accordance with the terms of the Operative Agreements) on demand all costs and expenses incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, recording, filing and re-filing of any such document and all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements the Agent shall reasonably require. The filing of any financing or continuation statements in the records relating to personal property or chattels shall not be construed as in any way impairing the right of the Agent to proceed against any property encumbered by this Security Agreement.

      (b) No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one (1) occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion.
 
      (c) The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 17. Section Headings.

 20. GOVERNING LAW.

     EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 12(a) HEREOF, THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ARE REQUIRED TO APPLY.

 21. Obligations Are Without Recourse.

     The provisions of the Participation Agreement relating to limitations on liability are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

 22. Partial Release; Full Release.

     The Agent may (subject to the applicable provisions of the Operative Agreements) release for such consideration as it may require any portion of the Security Assets without (as to the remainder of the Security Assets) in any way impairing or affecting the Lien, security interest and priority herein provided for the Agent compared to any other Lien holder or secured party. Further, the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents and instruments as may be required to release the Lien and security interest created by this Security Agreement with respect to the Property as provided in Section 8.8 of the Participation Agreement or to grant the easements and permit the other matters provided for in Section 8.5 of the Participation Agreement.

 23. Miscellaneous.

      (a) This Security Agreement is one (1) of the documents which create Liens and security interests that secure payment and performance of the Obligations. The Agent, at its election, may commence or consolidate in a single action all proceedings to realize upon all such Liens and security interests. The Borrower hereby waives (i) any objections to the commencement or continuation of an action to foreclose the Lien of this Security Agreement or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on any action

11


 

 being prosecuted or any judgment entered with respect to the Obligations or any Liens or security interests that secure payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in any such other action based on any action or judgment connected to this Security Agreement.
