         Section 8.2.      Severability.

         If any  provision  of  this  Agreement  shall  be  held  invalid  or  unenforceable,  such  invalidity  or
unenforceability  shall  attach  only to such  provision  and shall not in any manner  affect or render  invalid or

         The Secured  Party's  delay or failure at any time or times  hereafter to require  strict  performance  by
