Upon request by Pledgors from time to time, the Company agrees to enter into additional definitive documentation in support of the foregoing to ensure that Pledgors obtain all legal and economic benefits contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, loan documentation on terms substantially similar to the Loan documents.

	
 
	
5.
