Upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Company under the United States Bankruptcy Code, then the Outstanding Balance under this Note shall automatically be due immediately without notice of any kind. The Company agrees to pay Holder all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Holder (including attorneys fees) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in relation to this Agreement, including any suit, action, claim or other activity of Holder to collect the Outstanding Balance under this Note or any portion thereof, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
