Liquidity Events of Default If (a) any Liquidity Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) there is a Performing Note Deficiency, the Liquidity Provider may, in its discretion, deliver to the Borrower a Termination Notice, the effect of which shall be to cause (i) the obligation of the Liquidity Provider to make Advances hereunder to expire on the fifth Business Day after the date on which such Termination Notice is received by the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower to promptly request, and the Liquidity Provider to promptly make, a Final Advance in accordance with Section 2.02(d) hereof and Section 3.5(i) of the Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) all other outstanding Advances to be automatically converted into Final Advances for purposes of determining the Applicable Liquidity Rate for interest payable thereon, and (iv) subject to Sections 2.07 and 2.09 hereof, all Advances (including, without limitation, any Provider Advance and Applied Provider Advance), any accrued interest thereon and any other amounts outstanding hereunder to become immediately due and payable to the Liquidity Provider.

Acceleration of the Obligations Upon or at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Revolving Loan Commitments shall, at the option of Agent or Majority Lenders be terminated and/or (ii) Agent or Majority Lenders may declare all or any portion of the Obligations at once due and payable without presentment, demand protest or further notice by Agent or any Lender, and Borrowers shall forthwith pay to Agent, the full amount of such Obligations, provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in subsection 10.1.8 hereof, the Revolving Loan Commitments shall automatically be terminated and all of the Obligations shall become automatically due and payable, in each case without declaration, notice or demand by Agent or any Lender.
Rights Upon Event of Default If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, in its sole discretion, or shall at the direction of the Majority Lenders, direct the Collateral Agent to exercise any of the remedies specified herein in respect of the Collateral and the Collateral Agent shall promptly, solely at the written direction of the Agent or the Majority Lenders, also do one or more of the following (subject to Section 13.9):
(a) institute proceedings in its own name and on behalf of the Secured Parties as Collateral Agent for the collection of all Obligations, whether by declaration or otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Borrower and any other obligor with respect thereto moneys adjudged due, for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in any Transaction Document or in the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Collateral Agent by Applicable Law or any Transaction Document;
(b) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the right and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties which rights and remedies shall be cumulative; and
(c) require the Borrower and the Collateral Manager, at the Collateral Manager’s expense, to (1) assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent (solely at the direction of the Agent) and make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent (solely at the direction of the Agent) that is reasonably convenient to such parties and (2) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at a public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s or the Agent’s offices or elsewhere in accordance with Applicable Law. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent (solely at the direction of the Agent) may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. All cash proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after payment of any amounts incurred in connection with such sale) shall be deposited into the Collection Account and to be applied against all or any part of the outstanding Loans pursuant to Section 4.1 or otherwise in such order as the Collateral Agent shall be directed by the Agent (in its sole discretion). The Agent shall give the Collateral Manager notice of any sale of Collateral following an acceleration of the outstanding Loans. The Collateral Manager and any Affiliates shall be permitted to participate in any such sale. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time before the Collateral Agent has disposed of any of the Collateral or entered into a contract for its disposition under Section 9-610 of the UCC as in effect in New York, in each case as set forth in Section 9-623(c)(2) of the UCC as in effect in New York, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and obtain a release of all Collateral by delivering the full unpaid amount of all its Obligations to the Collateral Agent. Any such party may exercise such right by delivering written notice to the Agent (an “Exercise Notice”) which shall include a proposed purchase price, which Exercise Notice shall set forth evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the Equityholder has access to sufficient capital to consummate such purchase in accordance with this clause (c). Once an Exercise Notice is delivered to the Agent, the delivering party (or its designated Affiliate or managed fund) shall be obligated, irrevocably and unconditionally, to purchase the Collateral, at the price referenced above, for settlement within the normal settlement period for such Collateral; provided that the cash purchase price thereof must be received no later than ten (10) Business Days following delivery of the Exercise Notice. Neither the Collateral Agent, the Agent nor any Lender shall assert any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral, including any right described in Section 13.3(a) or Section 13.10, or cause the removal of the Collateral Manager pursuant to Section 7.02, or cause the liquidation or disposition of the Collateral Obligations to occur, in each case during the time that the Equityholder and its Affiliates are entitled to provide an Exercise Notice and purchase the Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.3(c).
Event of Default; Notice (a) The Guarantee Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default known to the Guarantee Trustee, transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Holders, notice of any such Event of Default known to the Guarantee Trustee, unless such Event of Default has been cured before the giving of such notice, provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of a Guarantee Payment, the Guarantee Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Guarantee Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
(b) The Guarantee Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless the Guarantee Trustee shall have received written notice, or a Responsible Officer charged with the administration of this Guarantee Agreement shall have obtained written notice, of such Event of Default.
Mandatory Prepayments due to Borrowing Base Deficiency In the event that at any time any Borrowing Base Deficiency shall exist, the Borrower shall, within five Business Days after delivery of the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate, prepay the Loans (or provide Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit as contemplated by Section 2.05(k)) or reduce Other Covered Indebtedness in such amounts as shall be necessary so that such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured; provided that, if the Borrower (x) chooses, by written notice to the Administrative Agent within such five (5) Business Day period, to make such repayment by means of a Capital Call (which notice shall include a certification by a Financial Officer that the uncalled capital commitments of the Borrower at such time, excluding uncalled capital commitments of Defaulted Investors, exceed the amount of such Borrowing Base Deficiency), the Borrower shall have thirty (30) Business Days to cure the Borrowing Base Deficiency (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such written notice to the Administrative Agent) and (y) makes the Capital Call to its Investors (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) within ten (10) Business Days of the date of notice to the Administrative Agent (and provides the Administrative Agent with written evidence of the Capital Call notice within two (2) Business Days of such notice being sent); and provided further that (i) the aggregate amount of such prepayment of Loans (and Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit) shall be at least equal to the Revolving Percentage times the aggregate prepayment of the Covered Debt Amount, and (ii) if, within five Business Days after delivery of a Borrowing Base Certificate demonstrating such Borrowing Base Deficiency, the Borrower shall present the Lenders with a reasonably feasible plan (other than the use of a Capital Call as described above) acceptable to the Required Lenders in their sole discretion to enable such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be cured within 30 Business Days (which 30-Business Day period shall include the five (5) Business Days permitted for delivery of such plan), then such prepayment or reduction shall not be required to be effected immediately but may be effected in accordance with such plan (with such modifications as the Borrower may reasonably determine), so long as such Borrowing Base Deficiency is cured within such 30-Business Day period.
