27.       Borrower shall only be obligated to reimburse or make payment to Lender for reasonable costs, expenditures and expenses incurred by Lender; provided, however, that in the event of an enforcement action or proceeding, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse Lender for all costs, expenditures and expenses.

 

28.       A default will not arise in respect of any representations, warranties or covenants made by or binding on Borrower related to compliance with laws, ordinances, rules and regulations unless the Borrower has failed to comply with such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations in a manner that has or could have, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, a material adverse effect on Borrower’s operations or properties.
