EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement immediately will terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrowers, except that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the "Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

In either case, the Indemnitee will pay to the Indemnitor, within 60 days of the Indemnitor making demand therefor, all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements on a full indemnity basis) which result from the defence and appeal of the Action, including the costs of any investigation undertaken by the Indemnitor in connection with the Action.

The obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder will continue after and are not affected in any way by the Indemnitee ceasing to be a director and/or officer of the Indemnitor or ceasing to be a director and/or officer of any entity with which the Indemnitee held a directorship and/or office at the request of the Indemnitor, whether by resignation, removal, death, incapacity, disqualification under applicable law, or otherwise.
