C.  Borrower has requested that Bank consent to the Acquisition and suspend certain covenants under the Loan Agreement so long as Borrower agrees that it shall have no further ability to Borrower under the Loan Agreement until such time as Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines otherwise.

D. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, including an indefinite termination of any ability for Borrower to borrow under any of the facilities set forth in the Loan Documents, and in reliance on Borrower’s agreements, acknowledgments, representations, and warranties in this Consent, Bank has agreed to consent to the Acquisition.

3.Reaffirmation of Security Interest in the Collateral.
