Borrower hereby ratifies and affirms all of its covenants and obligations under the Loan Documents and Forbearance Agreement, as further amended hereby, and further covenants and agrees to perform fully all of such covenants and obligations in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents and Forbearance Agreement, as further amended hereby.
