<br />person as a consequence of the exercise of the powers granted to Lender in this
<br />Assignment, or as a result of Lender's exercise of Lender's rights in the event of a
<br />Default, and no such liability shall be asserted or enforced against Lender, all such

<br />demands, the amount of such liability, loss, damage, cost, expense, and reasonable

<br />damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) that a court of
<br />competent jurisdiction determines is caused by the gross negligence or willful
<br />misconduct of the Lender. Upon failure of Borrower to so pay Lender, Lender may, at
<br />Lender's option, declare all sums secured by this Assignment and the Loan Documents
