As a result, a notice of intent to foreclose under 1 140690.01068/123323964v.3 Section 9-610 of the UCC by way of public sale on the date hereof was issued by Lender in accordance with the UCC.

This Agreement is an agreement referenced in the final clause of Section 1 of the Certificate of Sale. D.
