In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower, or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the agreements evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by each Guarantor.
