‑ 8 ‑
If, prior to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Debt, any Subordinate Party or any Person on its behalf shall receive any payment from or distribution of assets of the Borrower or on account of the Subordinate Debt, other than Permitted Payments, then such Subordinate Party shall, and shall cause such other Person to, receive and hold such payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Senior Parties and promptly pay the same over or deliver to the Agent in precisely the form received by such Subordinate Party or such other Person on its behalf (except for any necessary endorsement or assignment) and such payment or distribution shall be applied by the Agent to the repayment of the Senior Debt.
The Senior Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Senior Security as they see fit and nothing herein shall prevent, restrict or limit the Agent or the Lenders in any manner from exercising all or any part of their rights and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon any default under the Senior Security.

No consent of the Borrower shall be necessary for any amendment to this Agreement by the Senior Parties and the Subordinate Parties in order to have effect as between the Senior Parties and the Subordinate Parties.
Until payment in full to the Senior Parties of the Senior Debt and the Credit Agreement has been terminated, the Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Subordinate Party, hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which the Subordinate Parties may now have or may hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Borrower’s obligations under the Subordinate Debt, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Senior Parties against the Borrower which any Senior Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment of security on account of such claim or other rights.
