F.           In the letter dated February 11, 2009, Lender declared a Default by Borrower.

 

G.           Borrower acknowledges that Lender has determined that one or more defaults of the Master Agreement remain uncured, and that while Lender is not availing itself of remedies and actions that it is entitled to, the Lender does not waive its right to take such other and further action the Lender may deem necessary at any time, now or in the future.
