Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an

triggers or may trigger repayment obligations under the express
terms of certain instruments and agreements relating to direct
financial obligations of the Debtor or obligations under
off-balance sheet arrangements (the Debt Documents). As a result
of such an event of default or triggering event, all obligations
under the Debt Documents, by the terms of the Debt Documents,
