If the lien, security interest, validity, enforceability or priority of any Security Instrument, or if title or any of the rights of Borrower or Lender in or to the Property, shall be endangered or questioned, or shall be attacked directly or indirectly, or if any action or proceeding is instituted against Borrower or Lender with respect thereto, Borrower will promptly notify Lender thereof and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cure any defect which may be developed or claimed, and will take all necessary and proper steps for the defense of such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel, the making of a demand for such defense under Borrower's title insurance policy, the prosecution or defense of litigation and, subject to Lender's prior written approval, the compromise, release or discharge of any and all adverse claims.  Lender (whether or not named as a party to such actions or proceedings) is hereby authorized and empowered (but shall not be obligated) to take such additional steps as it may deem necessary or proper for the defense of any such action or proceeding for the protection of the lien, security interest, validity, enforceability or priority of the Security Instrument or of such title or rights, including the employment of counsel, the prosecution or defense of litigation, the compromise, release or discharge of such adverse claims, the purchase of any tax title and the removal of such prior liens and security interests.  Borrower shall, on demand, pay or reimburse Lender for all documented expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) actually incurred by it in connection with the foregoing matters.  All such costs and expenses of Lender, until paid or reimbursed by Borrower, shall be part of the Obligations and shall be and shall be deemed to be secured by the Security Instruments.  It is further agreed that Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact with respect to matters arising under this Section 2.1(e) , which appointment is irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest, with respect to the taking of such steps as may be necessary or proper in the sole discretion of Lender with respect to the matters referred to in this Section 2.1(e) .
