Default under each of the Loans.

successful in raising additional funds through a debt offering (not including
warehouse or receivables lines of credit, mortgage liens or any refinancing),

event of default exists or arises pursuant to any loan documents or security
agreements, with respect to any Additional Loans, including, without limitation,

under each of the Loan Documents evidencing the Loans, thereby entitling CSFB to
exercise any and all legal and equitable rights and remedies available to it
thereunder.
