(n)       a determination by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that a Borrower acted in bad faith or for the primary purpose of delaying or hindering Administrative Agent in connection with a Borrower’s contest of any foreclosure action or any other exercise by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of their remedies following an Event of Default;

Section 4.         Expenses of Enforcement . Guarantor agrees that Guarantor will reimburse Administrative Agent, to the extent that such reimbursement is not made by a Borrower or any other Loan Party, for all expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the collection of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof or with the enforcement of this Guaranty.

Section 5.         Application of Monies . Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, all monies available to Administrative Agent for application in payment or reduction of the Obligations may be applied by Administrative Agent in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order and priority as Administrative Agent may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Obligations as Administrative Agent may elect.

It is further understood, that if a Borrower shall have taken advantage of, or be subject to the protection of, any provision in any Debtor Relief Laws, the effect of which is to prevent or delay Administrative Agent from taking any remedial action against a Borrower, including the exercise of any option Administrative Agent has to declare the Obligations due and payable on the happening of any Event of Default or
