9.
All of the Borrower Collateral (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and the Collateral (as defined in the Mortgage) shall remain in all respects subject to the lien, charge and encumbrance of the Loan Agreement and Mortgage, as the case may be, and nothing herein contained and nothing done pursuant hereto, shall affect or be construed to affect the lien, charge or encumbrance of the Loan Agreement and Mortgage, as the case may be or the priority thereof over all liens, charges or encumbrances, except as expressly provided herein.

10.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Borrower and any subsequent owner of the Collateral or any part thereof (provided, however, that any provisions against sale or transfer contained in the Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect) and shall be binding and inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of the Mortgage or the Loan Documents.

11.
BORROWER, AND ANY SUBSEQUENT ENDORSER, GUARANTOR OR OTHER ACCOMMODATION MAKER, EACH HEREBY WAIVE PRESENTMENT, DEMAND FOR PAYMENT AND NOTICE OF DISHONOR, TOGETHER WITH ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THE NOTE, THE MORTGAGE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THIS AGREEMENT AND AS TO ANY ISSUES ARISING RELATING TO THE NOTE, THE MORTGAGE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THIS AGREEMENT.

12.

14.
This Agreement shall be governed and construed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia, without regard to conflict of law provisions thereof.

15.
As a material inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement, Borrower and Guarantor hereby acknowledge, admit, and agree that, as of the date hereof, there exist no rights of offset, defense, counterclaim, claim, or objection in favor of Borrower or Guarantor against Lender with respect to the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or alternatively, that any and all such rights of offset, defense, counterclaim, claim, or objection which they may have or claim, of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, are hereby expressly and irrevocably waived and released. Borrower and Guarantor hereby release and forever discharge Lender, its directors, officers, employees, administrators, subsidiaries, affiliates, attorneys, agents, successors, and assigns from any and all rights, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, agreements, contracts, judgments, damages, debts, costs, expenses, promises, agreements, duties, liabilities, or obligations, whether in law or in equity, known or unknown, choate or inchoate, which they had, now have, or hereafter may have, arising under or in any manner relating to, whether directly or indirectly, the Note, the Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any transaction contemplated by any Loan Document or this Agreement, from the beginning of time until the date of full execution and delivery hereof.
