Although Bank is under no obligation to do so, Bank is willing to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against Borrower through the Forbearance Period on the terms and conditions set forth in this Forbearance, so long as Borrower complies with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Forbearance in a timely manner.
