The provisions of this paragraph shall survive and continue in effect, notwithstanding any payment of any or all of the amounts, or the transfer or release of any property pursuant to this Agreement.

20.LENDERS’ REMEDIES. Upon: (i) the expiration of the Forbearance Period; or (ii) Obligor’s failure to observe and perform each and every term, covenant and condition of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents from and after the date of this Agreement, Lenders and Agent shall have the option, at their sole discretion, of exercising any of the their rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, instituting litigation against any of the Obligors to collect the outstanding balance of the Loan and other Indebtedness.

Such fees and expenses shall constitute additional Indebtedness under the Loan Documents until paid notwithstanding any failure by the Obligors to comply with any other term of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a Forbearance Termination Event any and all unpaid portions of the unreimbursed expenses outstanding shall be paid forthwith by the Obligors.
