To the extent an Event of Default based on a failure to meet the March AQR Covenant occurs, Borrowers have requested that Bank forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against Borrowers with respect to the March AQR Covenant during the Forbearance Period (as defined in Section 2.1 below). Although Bank is under no obligation to do so, Bank is willing to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies against Borrowers with respect to the March AQR Covenant through the Forbearance Period on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, so long as Borrowers comply with the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
