8.         Indulgences
Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of Senior Lender or Seller Creditors, as applicable, to exercise
any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any instruments, documents or agreements evidencing or relating to the
Senior Debt or the Seller Debt, as applicable, will operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be construed as
an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege
with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence.
No consent or waiver by a party hereunder will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party making the consent
or waiver, and then only to the extent specifically stated in that writing.


 


9.         Duration
and Termination. This Agreement constitutes a continuing agreement of subordination and will terminate only upon Payment in
Full of the Senior Debt. Neither the dissolution nor the bankruptcy of any Seller Creditor will effect a termination hereof.

priorities as between the Senior Lender on the one hand, and the Affiliated Lenders on the other hand. To the extent this Agreement
and the Intercreditor Agreement contain provisions dealing with the same matter or issue, the terms of the Intercreditor agreement
will govern and control vis-à-vis the Senior Lender and the Affiliate Lenders.


 


12.       Waiver
of Certain Rights. So long as the Senior Debt is outstanding, Seller Creditors hereby expressly waive any and all rights that
they otherwise might have to (a) require Senior Lender to marshal any property or assets of the Borrowers or to resort to any of
the Senior Collateral in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute, (b) require Senior Lenders
to enforce any guaranty or any Lien given by any other Person or entity other than the Borrowers to secure the payment of any or

of any of the Senior Collateral.
