This includes all accounts Borrower holds jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future. However, this does not include any IRA or Keogh accounts, or any trust accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
 
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default (an "Event of Default") under this Agreement:
 
Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the Note or otherwise under or in respect of the Loan.
 
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this Agreement, the Note, or in any of the other Related Documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
 
Default in Favor of Third Parties.

False Statements. Any warranty, representation, or statement made or furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf under this Agreement or the Related Documents is false or misleading in any material respect, either now or at the time made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any lime thereafter.
 
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's, either Bank's, or any other subsidiary of Borrower's existence as a going business (except with respect to a merger of Spectrum with and into Professional complying with the proviso set forth in subparagraph (1) of the "Negative Covenants" section above), the insolvency of Borrower, either Bank, or any other subsidiary of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver or supervisor of or for Borrower, either Bank, any other subsidiary of Borrower, or any part of Borrower's, either Bank's, or any other such subsidiary's property by any court or Bank Regulator, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or financial institution regulatory or supervisory laws by or against Borrower, either Bank, or any other such subsidiary.

Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against any Collateral. This includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this Event of Default shall not apply if there is a good faith dispute by Borrower as to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which is the basis of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the dispute.
 
Events Affecting Guarantor. Any of the preceding events occurs with respect to any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or any Guarantor dies or becomes incompetent, or revokes or disputes the validity of, or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally the obligations arising under the guaranty in a manner satisfactory to Lender, and, in doing so, cure any Event of Default.
 
Change In Ownership. Upon a change of control of Borrower (defined as a change of ownership, in the aggregate, of 51% or more), the Loan shall become immediately due and payable.
 
Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs in Borrower's, either Bank's, or any other subsidiary of Borrower's financial condition.
 
Insecurity. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
 
Right to Cure. If any default, other than a default on indebtedness, is curable and if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, has not been given a notice of a similar default within the preceding twelve (12) months, such default may be cured if Borrower or Grantor, as the case may be, after receiving written notice from Lender demanding cure of such default (1) cures such default within thirty (30) days; or (2) if the cure of such default requires more than thirty (30) days, immediately initiates steps that Lender deems in Lender's sole discretion to be sufficient to cure such default
