deposits. The Bank is hereby authorized to charge any such account or
indebtedness for any amounts due to the Bank. Such right of set-off shall exist
whether or not the Bank shall have made any demand under this Forbearance
Agreement, the KPR Note or any other Loan Document and whether or not the
-19-
KPR Note and the other Obligations are matured or unmatured. The Borrower and
