If such Delivery Default remains unremedied on May 31, 2019, it would constitute an event of default under Section 7.01(c)(ii) of the AMH RBL. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any of the above-described events of default under the AMH RBL, if one arises, the administrative agent shall at the request, or may with the consent of a majority of the lenders, by notice to AMH (i) declare all lender obligations to make extensions of credit to be terminated and (ii) declare all principal, interest, fees, reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts payable under the AMH RBL due and payable.
