In the event any Person, other than Agent, shall at any time exercise for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of any Existing Defaults, any other present or future Event of Default, or otherwise) any of its rights or remedies against Borrower or any obligor providing credit support for Borrowers obligations to such other Person, or against Borrowers or such obligors properties or assets, such event shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing does not apply to (a) commercial disputes with respect to the Ulticom Matter that have not resulted in a judgment or (b) commercial disputes other than the Ulticom Matter initiated by a third party against Borrower that arise in the ordinary course of business and which Borrower reasonably disputes in good faith that (i) are with respect to amounts not in excess of $50,000 or (ii) remain outstanding for three (3) Business Days after Borrower becomes aware thereof.
