The Borrower has advised the Banks that the Borrower is currently working on a revised business plan which will include, among other things, a request to restructure the Obligations owing to the Banks on terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Banks. While the Borrower and the Banks have initiated discussions concerning the proposed restructuring of the Obligations, the Borrower acknowledges that the Banks have not agreed to any terms and conditions relating to any restructuring of the Obligations.
