5             DEFAULT

(10) days of when due, any of the Liabilities.

perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days following written

or any other document given by Borrower in connection with the Loan or this Agreement shall fail to be true, accurate and complete

    	3



    	 



    

  


(f)          Material
Adverse Change. Lender determines in good
faith that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of Borrower from the financial condition set forth
in the most recent financial statement furnished to Lender, or from the financial condition of Borrower most recently disclosed
to Lender in any manner. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the following events shall constitute a
material adverse change: (i) if Borrower generally is unable to pay debts as they mature; (ii) the filing of any petition for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute by Borrower; (iii) the filing of any petition for relief under
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute against Borrower, which petition is not unconditionally dismissed within
60 days after it is filed; (iv) an application for the appointment of a receiver or custodian for, the making of a general assignment
for the benefit of creditors by, or the insolvency of Borrower; (v) the transfer of assets by Borrower for other than reasonably
equivalent value except for customary charitable and political contributions, family gifts and transfers for estate planning purposes
and (vi) death of a guarantor of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a material adverse change under clause
(vi) above, an Event of Default shall occur only in the event the estate of such guarantor fails to assume and reaffirm the obligations
of such guarantor in writing to Lender within thirty (30) days.


 


5.2          Remedies
of Lender. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender
under the Loan Documents and applicable law, Lender shall have the following rights and remedies:


 


5.2.1           Set-Off.
Lender may set-off any amounts in any individual personal (as opposed to joint or business operating) account or represented by
any certificate with Lender in the name of Borrower or in which Borrower has an interest.


 


5.2.2           Other
Remedies. Lender may pursue such other remedies
provided for in the Loan Documents or permitted by law, which Lender may deem appropriate, it being specifically understood and
agreed that any remedies may be exercised in the alternative or cumulatively in the sole discretion of Lender.


 


5.2.3           Liquidation
Costs. Borrower shall reimburse and pay to
Lender upon demand all Liquidation Costs, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses, advanced, incurred by,
or on behalf of Lender in collecting and enforcing the Liabilities and the Loan Documents. All Liquidation Costs shall bear interest
payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand from the date advanced or incurred until paid in full at a per annum rate of interest
equal the default rate of interest described in the Note.


 


5.2.4           No
Waiver, Etc. No failure or delay by Lender
to insist upon the strict performance of any term, condition, covenant, or agreement of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan
Documents, or to exercise any right, power, or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such term,
condition, covenant, or agreement or of any such breach, or preclude Lender from exercising any such right, power, or remedy at
any later time or times. By accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or under any of the
other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to waive the right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts
payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect such prompt
payment of any such other amount.
