E.    The Credit Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, the IP Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Real Estate Documents and all other documents related thereto, including this Agreement and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), are hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Documents.” The obligations of the Borrower to pay and perform all of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) under the Loan Documents are the “Obligations.” All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, as applicable.

G.    The Borrower previously requested that the Bank forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents with respect to the Existing Default and to make certain amendments to the Loan Documents.
