"master" or "blanket" policy on the Condominium Project or PUD which is satisfactory to Lender and which provides insurance
coverage in the amounts, for the periods, and against the hazards Lender requires, including fire and hazards included within

the provision is for the express benefit of Lender; (iii) termination of professional management and assumption of self-

related documents, including without lixnitation, the power to sell the Property. All remedies are distinct, .cumulative and not
exclusive, and the Lender is entitled to all remedies provided at law or equity, whether or not expressly set forth. The
acceptance by Lender of any sum in Payment or partial payment on the Secured Debt after the balance is due Or is accelerated or
after foreclosure proceedings are filed shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to require complete cure of any existing
default. By not exercising any rmnedy on Mortgagor's default, Lender does not waive Lender's right to later consider the event
a default if it continues or happens again.
