Although Borrower waives any right to receive notice of Lender's actions under this Section, Lender agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Lender's rights hereunder are in addition to any of Lender's other rights or remedies. 8. MISCELLANEOUS 8.1 NOTICES All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be governed by the terms of Section 8.6 of the Master Agreement. 8.2 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES If there shall occur any Event of Default, Lender shall be entitled to recover any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the preservation of rights under, and enforcement of, the Loan Documents, whether or not any lawsuit is commenced, in all such cases, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Reasonable attorneys' fees shall include, without limitation, attorneys' fees -15- and costs incurred in connection with any bankruptcy case or other insolvency proceeding commenced by or against Borrower, including all fees incurred in connection with (a) moving for relief from the automatic stay, to convert or dismiss the case or proceeding, or to appoint a trustee or examiner, or (b) proposing or opposing confirmation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation, in any case without regard to the identity of the prevailing party. 8.3 NO WAIVER No failure or delay on the part of Lender or the holder of the Note in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender or the holder of the Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Lender or any subsequent holder of the Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or shall constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 8.4 ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Transaction Documents represent the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the Loan and the transactions contemplated hereunder and, except as expressly provided herein, shall not be affected by reference to any other documents.
