Except as expressly modified pursuant to this EXIM Loan Modification Agreement, the terms of the Existing Loan Documents remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Bank may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the loan.
