A default under any loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such default involves indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 and would materially affect Borrower’s property or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loans or perform its obligations under the Business Loan Agreement or any other Related Document.

29. A default will not arise in respect of any representations, warranties or covenants made by or binding on Borrower related to compliance with laws, ordinances, rules and regulations unless the Borrower has failed to comply with such laws, ordinances, rules and regulations in a manner that has or could have, in the reasonable opinion of the Lender, a material adverse effect on Borrower’s operations or properties.

(a) it is understood that all references to a “Restated Agreement” contained in the Business Loan Agreement are references to the Business Loan Agreement dated as of December 18, 2019 and all references to an “Existing Agreement” contained in the Business Loan Agreement are references to the Business Loan Agreement dated as of December 18, 2018, and the Restated Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Agreement;
