DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder: (a) the failure of the Debtor to pay any of the Obligations when due, declared due, or demanded by LaSalle in accordance with the terms hereof and the Guaranty and such failure is not cured within five (5) calendar days after notice from LaSalle to the Debtor; (b) the failure of any Obligor to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, conditions, promises, agreements or obligations of such Obligor under this Agreement or any of the Other Agreements, which failure continues for five (5) calendar days after notice from LaSalle to Debtor, provided that a failure by Debtor to perform any obligations under any of the following paragraphs of this Agreement shall constitute an immediate Event of Default without Debtor having any notice or cure rights: paragraphs 5(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (m) and (n); and paragraphs 6(a), (b), (m), and (n). (c) the making or furnishing by any Obligor to LaSalle of any representation, warranty, certificate, schedule, report or other communication within or in connection with this Agreement or the Other Agreements or in connection with any other agreement between such Obligor and LaSalle, which is untrue or misleading in any respect, or the failure of any Obligor to perform, keep or observe any of the covenants, conditions, promises, agreement of such Obligor under any other agreement with any Person if such failure has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (d) the creation (whether voluntary or involuntary) of, or any attempt to create, any lien or other encumbrance upon any of the Collateral, other than liens permitted pursuant to paragraph 6(h) and judgment liens which do not constitute an Event of Default under paragraph 7(g) hereof, or the making or any attempt to make any levy, seizure or attachment thereof; (e) the commencement of any proceedings (i) in bankruptcy by or against any Obligor, (ii) for the liquidation or reorganization of any Obligor, (iii) alleging that such Obligor is insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature, or (iv) for the readjustment or arrangement of any Obligor's debts, whether under the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any other law, whether state or federal, now or hereafter existing for the relief of debtors, or the commencement of any analogous statutory or non- statutory proceedings involving any Obligor; provided, however, that if such commencement of proceedings against such Obligor is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such proceedings are not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement of such proceedings; (f) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for any Obligor, for any of the Collateral or for any substantial part of any Obligor's assets or the institution of any proceedings for the dissolution, or the full or partial liquidation, or the merger or consolidation, of any Obligor which is a corporation or a partnership; provided, however, that if such appointment or commencement of proceedings against such Obligor is involuntary, such action shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such appointment is not revoked or such proceedings are not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the commencement of such proceedings; (g) the entry of any judgment or order in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) against any Obligor which remains unsatisfied or undischarged and in effect for thirty (30) days after such entry without a stay of enforcement or execution; (h) the occurrence of an event of default under, or the revocation or termination of, any agreement, instrument or document executed and delivered by the Borrower to LaSalle under or in connection with the Borrower Debt; (i) the occurrence of an event of default under: (i) the Cruttenden Loan; (ii) Seller Debt; (iii) the Imperial Loan; and (iv) any agreement or instrument evidencing indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) executed or delivered by the Debtor or the Borrower or pursuant to which agreement or instrument the Debtor or the Borrower or either of their properties is or may be bound; or (j) the occurrence of any event or condition which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. 8. REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in paragraph 7(e) hereof, all of the Obligations shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice of any kind. Upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, all of the Obligations may, at the option of LaSalle, and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared, and immediately shall become, due and payable. (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, LaSalle may exercise from time to time any rights and remedies available to it under the Uniform Commercial Code and any other applicable law in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights and remedies expressly granted in this Agreement or in any of the Other Agreements and all of LaSalle's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and non-exclusive to the extent permitted by law. In particular, but not by way of limitation of the foregoing, LaSalle may, without notice, demand or legal process of any kind, take possession of any or all of the Collateral (in addition to Collateral of which it already has possession), wherever it may be found, and for that purpose may pursue the same wherever it may be found, and may enter into any of Debtor's premises where any of the Collateral may be, and search for, take possession of, remove, keep and store any of the Collateral until the same shall be sold or otherwise disposed of, and LaSalle shall have the right to store the same at any of Debtor's premises without cost to LaSalle. At LaSalle's request, Debtor shall, at Debtor's expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to LaSalle at one or more places to be designated by LaSalle and reasonably convenient to LaSalle and Debtor. Debtor recognizes that if Debtor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement or the Other Agreements, no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to LaSalle, and Debtor agrees that LaSalle shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages. Any notification of intended disposition of any of the Collateral required by law will be deemed reasonably and properly given if given at least ten (10) calendar days before such disposition. Any proceeds of any disposition by LaSalle of any of the Collateral may be applied by LaSalle to the payment of expenses in connection with the Collateral including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees (both in-house and outside counsel) and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by LaSalle toward the payment of such of the Obligations, and in such order of application, as LaSalle may from time to time elect. 9. INDEMNIFICATION. Debtor agrees to defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to LaSalle), protect, indemnify and hold harmless LaSalle, each affiliate or subsidiary of LaSalle, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each an "Indemnified Party) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, the disbursements and the reasonable fees of counsel for each Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party (whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local laws or regulations including, without limitation, securities, environmental and commercial laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, or based on contract or otherwise) in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Agreement, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making and the management of the Loan or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; provided, however, that Debtor shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Debtor shall satisfy such undertaking to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, cost or expense covered by this indemnity shall be paid to each Indemnified Party on demand, and, failing prompt payment, shall, together with interest thereon at the highest rate then applicable to the Loan hereunder from the date incurred by each Indemnified Party until paid by Debtor, be added to the Obligations of Debtor and be secured by the Collateral. The provisions of this paragraph 9 shall survive the satisfaction and payment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 10. NOTICES.
