  (2)Motorsport Network and Motorsport Games hereby agree that the Cash Advance and any and all future advances (collectively, the “Advances”) under the $12 million Line of Credit shall be, in terms of payment priority, senior indebtedness of Motorsport Games and, unless Motorsport Network otherwise agrees in writing, any other indebtedness hereafter incurred, issued, assumed or permitted to exist by Motorsport Games shall be unsecured and subordinated and otherwise junior in right of payment to the Advances on terms acceptable to Motorsport Network, except as may be required by applicable law (such as in the case of claims in favor of employees, landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers or for taxes); and

The entire aggregate principal amount of the Cash Advance and the other Advances, together with interest accrued but unpaid thereon, shall also become immediately and automatically due and payable, and the $12 million Line of Credit shall immediately and automatically terminate, in each case without any action required by Motorsport Network, if (i) Motorsport Games experience an event of default under any other debt instrument, agreement or arrangement; or (ii) any final judgment or final judgments for the payment of money in excess (net of amounts covered by third-party insurance with insurance carriers who have not disclaimed liability with respect to such judgment or judgments) of $500,000 or its foreign currency equivalent is entered against Motorsport Games or any subsidiary and is not discharged and either (a) an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree or (b) there is a period of 60 days following the entry of such judgment or decree during which such judgment or decree is not discharged, waived or the execution thereof stayed and, in the case of (b), such default continues for 60 consecutive days; and
