9. Reaffirmation of Indebtedness. Each Loan Party reaffirms all of its respective obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and each Loan Party acknowledges that it does not have any claims, offsets or defenses with respect to any such Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each Loan Party (a) reaffirms Lender’s rights, following the occurrence of any Forbearance Default, to apply any and all payments made by such Loan Party or otherwise received by Lender with respect to each the applicable Loan to such obligations owing by such Loan Party under the Loan Documents in such order and manner deemed appropriate by Lender in its sole discretion, and (b) expressly waives all of its rights under applicable law or otherwise to direct Lender as to such application or to designate the portion of the obligations to be satisfied.

Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor any past action or inaction of Lender shall constitute, or has constituted, a waiver of the Existing Event of Default, any other Default or Event of Default or of any of Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To the contrary, Lender expressly reserves, and Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that at all times Lender has expressly reserved, all of its rights and remedies in respect of the Existing Event of Default and any other Default or Event of Default. Notwithstanding any previous practice to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that all Obligations shall be due and payable upon the expiration (due to the passage of time) or termination (due to the occurrence of a Forbearance Default) of the Forbearance Period (the date whichever occurs first being referred to in this Agreement as the “Forbearance Termination Date”) and that Lender shall be entitled to exercise its rights and remedies immediately upon the failure of Borrower to pay any amounts as and when due hereunder. If and to the extent that Lender forbears from taking action after the Forbearance Termination Date, Lender will be doing so on a voluntary day-to-day basis in its sole and absolute discretion.
