Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank shall be referred to as the “Obligations.”

 

2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Obligations is secured by the Collateral as described in the Loan Agreement and in an Intellectual Property Security Agreement.

 

Hereinafter, the above-described security documents and guaranties, together with all other documents securing repayment of the Obligations shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”.

Except as expressly modified pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Bank’s agreement to modifications to the existing Obligations pursuant to this Loan Modification Agreement in no way shall obligate Bank to make any future modifications to the Obligations.

It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to retain as liable parties all makers and endorsers of Existing Loan Documents, unless the party is expressly released by Bank in writing.
