2\. The Borrower should report suspicious or conflicting payment instructions before sending funds; and

The Borrower shall, at its own expense:
1\. Maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair;
2\. Pay all taxes and other charges relating to the Collateral when due;

8.9 Emergency Injunction and Asset Freeze
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, particularly one involving Bankruptcy, Fraudulent Transfer, or Unauthorised Disposition of Assets:

BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I, the undersigned Borrower, hereby acknowledge and certify that:
1\. I have carefully read and fully understand ALL provisions of this Agreement, including particularly the Events of Default in Article 8, the automatic restrictions on asset disposition upon default, the Lender's remedies, including asset seizure and emergency injunctions, and the provisions regarding Fraudulent Transfers.
2\. I understand that upon any Event of Default, the Lender may accelerate all amounts due, seize or control Collateral within its possession or platform authority, restrict Alta Bank accounts or services, and seek emergency judicial or platform relief to prevent improper disposal of property.
3\. I understand that if I declare Bankruptcy, become Insolvent, default on any other loan, engage in Double-Pledging, make any Fraudulent Transfer, or engage in any fraudulent or criminal activity, the Lender may pursue all remedies available under this Agreement and applicable law, including voiding transfers and recovering assets.
4\. I understand that I may NOT sell, transfer, gift, or otherwise dispose of any assets after an Event of Default without the Lender's prior written consent, and that any such disposition shall be void.
5\. I understand that the Lender is not required to sell seized Collateral and may retain Collateral where permitted. If the Lender sells Collateral, sale proceeds will be applied to enforcement costs and amounts owed, and any remaining surplus will be handled under this Agreement, applicable rules, or court order.
6\. I understand that I am liable for all of the Lender's costs, fees, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with any Event of Default or the enforcement of this Agreement, even if no litigation is filed.
