Continuing

A Default is continuing until it is remedied or waived, so a breach that was put right or forgiven no longer counts. Most lender rights, such as a drawstop or acceleration, work only while a Default or Event of Default is continuing. Clause 1.2 · Chapter 5 · Chapter 10

Explained in Chapter 5, Anatomy of a Facility Agreement, of Finance Deals & Syndicated Lending.
