2. All of the Real Property described in the Mortgage shall remain in all respects subject to the lien and encumbrance of the Mortgage, and nothing herein contained shall affect or be construed to affect the lien or encumbrance of said Mortgage, or the priority thereof over other liens or encumbrances, or, except as expressly provided herein, to release or affect the liability of any party or parties who may now or hereafter be liable under or on account of the Note or the Mortgage; nor shall anything herein contained affect or be construed to affect any other security, if any, held by Mortgagee as security for the Note.

4. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

6. New Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the Mortgage are absolute and unconditional and are valid irrespective of any other agreement or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the Mortgage or to the obligations of others related to it. New Borrower acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, conditions, promises, understandings, representations or warranties exist in regard to the obligations under this Agreement, the Note, or the Mortgage, except those specifically set forth herein and therein.
7. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified, amended, changed or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the modification, amendment, change or termination is sought.
8. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
9. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to create any rights or obligations of partnership, joint venture, or similar association among the parties hereto.

In enforcing its rights and remedies under this Agreement or the Note, Mortgagee will look solely to the Real Property and/or to the Guarantors (as defined in the Mortgage) for the payment of the Debt and for the performance of the provisions hereof or thereof. Mortgagee will not seek a deficiency or other money judgment against New Borrower or any principal, member, director, officer or employee of New Borrower, and will not institute any separate action against New Borrower by reason of any default that may occur in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Note. This agreement on the part of Mortgagee shall not be construed in any way so as to affect or impair the lien of the Mortgage or Mortgagee’s right to foreclose under the terms of the Mortgage as provided by law or construed in any way so as to limit or restrict any of the rights or remedies of the Mortgagee in any foreclosure proceedings or other enforcement of payment of the Debt out of and from the security given therefor, including, without limitation, any Guaranty (as defined in the Mortgage). THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 12 SHALL BE APPLICABLE ONLY UNTIL, AND SHALL BE DEEMED DELETED FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT FROM AND AFTER, THE DATE THAT CVD ACQUIRES ALL OF THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IN NEW BORROWER OR ASSUMES THE OBLIGATIONS OF NEW BORROWER UNDER THE MASTER LEASE, THE NOTE OR THE MORTGAGE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ACCOMMODATION AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE.
