3. At any time while not in default under this Agreement, the Borrower may pay the outstanding balance then owing under this Agreement to the Lender without penalty.
Representations and Covenants of the Borrower

(b) it will not create, incur, assume or suffer to exist, contingently or otherwise, any indebtedness for borrowed money that is either pari passu or senior in right of payment to this Loan.
(c) it is the legal and beneficial owner and will continue to be the legal and beneficial owner of all of the Collateral (as defined below) free of all liens, charges, security interests, mortgages and other encumbrances and it shall defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time charging the same or any interest therein;
(d) it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Lender, create, permit, assume, have outstanding or suffer to exist, any assignment, mortgage, lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance on the Collateral, or any part thereof, ranking or purporting to rank prior to or pari passu with the charge and security interest created by this Agreement.
Default

Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder:
(a) Borrower fails to pay timely any of the amounts due under this Agreement on the date the same becomes due and payable;
(b) Borrower is in breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants herein applicable to it;
(c) if an encumbrancer, whether permitted or otherwise, takes possession of any part of the Collateral, or if any process of a court, execution, distress, or analogous process becomes enforceable or is enforced against any of the Collateral, the validity of which is not being diligently contested in good faith at the time by Borrower by proper legal proceedings provided that such proceedings effectively postpone enforcement of same and provided further that same is vacated or lifted within 30 days of Borrower becoming aware of or receiving notice thereof; or
(d) Borrower shall commence, or have commenced involuntarily against it, any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, liquidation or dissolution under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors or seeking an appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its property.
