6.2 Notice. If any Event of Default shall occur (whether or not any required notice has been given or an applicable grace period has elapsed), Lender shall not be obligated to make any further advances or disbursements until such Event of Default is remedied. Unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, or the Line of Credit Documents, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall give written notice of such occurrence to Borrower as follows:

(a) Monetary Default. In the event of a monetary default for which Borrower is given a cure period, Lender shall give Borrower written notice of the Event of Default and Borrower shall be given an opportunity to cure the default within the applicable cure period.

(b) Nonmonetary Default. In the event of a nonmonetary default for which Borrower is given a cure period, Lender shall give Borrower written notice of the Event of Default and Borrower shall be given an opportunity to cure the default within the applicable cure period. However, if the nonmonetary default cannot reasonably be corrected within the applicable cure period, Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) days to remedy such nonmonetary default if Borrower notifies Lender of the manner in which the nonmonetary default shall be cured, and if appropriate corrective action is instituted within the initial specified cure period and is diligently pursued thereafter. In the event that correction of the default requires action by a Governmental Authority which cannot reasonably be obtained within an additional twenty (20) days, and Borrower has complied with the conditions of the previous sentence, such twenty (20) day cure period shall be extended to some other reasonable amount of time, so long as the Borrower’ Business is not impaired and continues in the ordinary course until the default is cured.

6.3 Election of Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and continue after any required notice and lapse of any applicable grace period, all obligations of Lender under this Agreement and under the Line of Credit Documents shall cease and terminate, and at the election of Lender, the Lender may: (i) declare the outstanding Principal Indebtedness immediately due and payable; (ii) exercise any remedy provided for in the Line of Credit Documents; or (iii) (iv) exercise any other right or remedy available to Lender pursuant to any Line of Credit Document, or as provided at law or in equity.

No delay or failure to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

6.5 Expenses during Default. Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable fees and costs incurred in the preparation of this Agreement and any related documents. If this Agreement is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, by suit or otherwise, or to enforce its collection, the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs of collection including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
