If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company) with respect to this Senior Note occurs and is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes may declare the principal of all Outstanding Senior Notes, and the interest to the date of acceleration, if any, accrued thereon, to be immediately due and payable by notice in writing to the Obligor (and to the Trustee if given by Holders) specifying the Event of Default. If an Event of Default relating to a merger or certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company occurs, then the principal amount of all the Senior Notes then Outstanding and interest accrued thereon, if any, shall become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Senior Notes, to the full extent permitted by applicable law.
