The loan contains various customary events of default, including, among others, nonpayment of principal, interest, or other charges; inaccuracy of representations; violation of covenants; and certain bankruptcy events. If an event of default occurs under the loan, then, subject to the borrower’s specified cure rights, the lender may exercise all available remedies, including declaring the entire outstanding balance of the loan, including all accrued and unpaid interest, any prepayment premium and late charges and other amounts, to be immediately due and payable, or commencing foreclosure proceedings.
