The Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency to the extent provided in the documents that create the Obligations Secured.

Section 4.3 Cumulative Remedies; Delay or Omission Not a Waiver

. No remedy or right of the Pari Passu Agent shall be exclusive of, but shall be in addition to, every other remedy or right now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
