Agreement to Subordinate The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 10, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.
Agreement to Pay; Subordination In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Security Agent or Administrative Agent (as applicable) to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Guarantors and the Borrower, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation.
Payment Subordination Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all of Junior Lender’s rights to payment of the Junior Loan (including, but not limited to, payment of principal, interest, and prepayment fees) and the obligations evidenced by the Junior Loan Documents are hereby subordinated to all of Senior Lender’s rights to payment by Borrower of the Senior Loan and the obligations secured by the Senior Loan Documents, including any Protective Advances by the Senior Lender. If a Proceeding shall have occurred or a Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then (i) Junior Lender shall not accept or receive payments (including, without limitation, whether in cash or other property and whether received directly, indirectly or by set-off, counterclaim or otherwise) from Borrower, from the Premises or from any other source unless all obligations under the Senior Loan Documents are paid, and (ii) Senior Lender shall be entitled to receive payment and performance in full of all amounts due or owing from Borrower or guarantor before Junior Lender is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Junior Loan. All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Junior Loan which are received by Junior Lender contrary to the provisions of this Agreement shall be received and held in trust by the Junior Lender for the benefit of Senior Lender and shall be paid over to Senior Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied to (in the case of cash), or held as collateral for (in the case of non-cash property or securities), the payment or performance of the Senior Loan in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Junior Lender from making Protective Advances (and adding the amount thereof to the principal balance of the Junior Loan) notwithstanding the existence of a default under the Senior Loan at such time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 9(a), so long as a Proceeding has not occurred or a Continuing Senior Loan Event of Default is not outstanding, Junior Lender may accept payments of any amounts due and payable from time to time that Borrower is obligated to pay to Junior Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Junior Loan Documents and Junior Lender shall have no obligation to pay over to Senior Lender any such amounts. Prior to commencing any Enforcement Action, Junior Lender shall (i) give the Senior Lender written notice of the default which would permit Junior Lender to commence such Enforcement Action, (ii) obtain Senior Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Senior Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to such Enforcement Action, and (iii) provide Senior Lender with copies of any and all material notices, pleadings, agreements, motions and briefs served upon, delivered to or with any party to any Enforcement Action and otherwise keep Senior Lender reasonably apprised as to the status of any Enforcement Action. In the event of a casualty to the buildings or improvements constructed on any portion of the Premises or a condemnation or taking under a power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Premises, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior interest in and to any payments, awards, proceeds, distributions, or consideration arising from any such event (the “Award”). If (x) the amount of the Award is in excess of all amounts owed to Senior Lender under the Senior Loan Documents, however, and (y) either the Senior Loan has been paid in full or Borrower is entitled to a remittance of same under the Senior Loan Documents other than to repair or restore the Premises, such excess Award or portion to be so remitted to Borrower shall, to the extent permitted in the Senior Loan Documents, be paid to or at the direction of Junior Lender, unless other Persons have claimed the right to such Award, in which case Senior Lender shall only be required to provide notice to Junior Lender of such excess Award and of any other claims thereto. In the event of any competing claims for any such excess Award, Senior Lender shall continue to hold such excess Award until Senior Lender receives an agreement signed by all Persons making a claim to the excess Award or a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing Senior Lender as to how and to which Person(s) the excess Award is to be distributed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a casualty or condemnation, Senior Lender shall release the Award from any such event to the Borrower if and to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan Documents in order to repair and restore the Premises in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents. Any portion of the Award made available to the Borrower for the repair or restoration of the Premises shall not be subject to attachment by Junior Lender.
Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions (a) Each Holder by accepting a Security of any series acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article Four or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person.
Covenant to Guarantee Obligations and Give Security Upon (i) the formation or acquisition by any Loan Party of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary), (ii) pursuant to Section 1.09, the addition of any Borrower which was not a Loan Party immediately prior to such addition, (iii) a Subsidiary of any Loan Party ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary or (iv) the acquisition by any Loan Party of any asset (including real property) in respect of which the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements have not theretofore been satisfied (any of the foregoing items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event”) the Borrowers shall, at the Borrowers’ expense, cause the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements applicable thereto to be satisfied (x) with respect to (i) any Guaranty Agreement or any supplement thereto, (ii) Liens on Collateral that may be created by the execution and delivery of a customary personal property security or pledge agreement or any supplement thereto, (iii) Liens on Collateral that may under applicable law be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the UCC or by filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United Stated Copyright Office (or by the making of similar filings in any applicable jurisdiction) and (iv) the perfection of security interests in the capital stock of Holding’s Subsidiaries with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by delivery of certificated securities, within thirty (30) days (as such time may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event and (y) with respect to the creation or perfection of Liens on any other Collateral or any other provision of the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements, within sixty (60) days of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event (or, in the case of clause (h) and (i) (and, to the extent related to such clauses, clause (l) and (m)) of the definition of Collateral and Guaranty Requirements, within ninety (90) days of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event) (as any such time period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Subsidiary of Holdings listed on Schedule 6.11 shall be required to satisfy the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Third Restatement Date (on which date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements shall be required with respect to such Subsidiaries to the same extent otherwise applicable thereto).
Subrogation and Subordination (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by such Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.
(c) If any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.
(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Note Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (including this Section 5) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Subsidiary Guarantor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes (such net value, its “Proportionate Share”), such paying Subsidiary Guarantor shall, subject to Section 5(a) and 5(b), be entitled to contribution from any Subsidiary Guarantor that has not paid its Proportionate Share of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount payable as a contribution under this Section 5(e) shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment is made by such Subsidiary Guarantor seeking contribution and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that the right to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such Subsidiary Guarantor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5(e) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement executed in connection therewith, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
NO SUBORDINATION There is no agreement, indenture, contract or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower may be bound that requires the subordination in right of payment of any of Borrower's obligations subject to this Agreement to any other obligation of Borrower.
Covenant to Guarantee Obligations (a) If at any time on or after the Closing Date, (i) any Subsidiary is or becomes (x) the issuer or co-issuer of, or borrower or guarantor under, any series of U.S. debt securities or any U.S. syndicated credit facility, (y) the guarantor of any series of debt securities or any syndicated credit facilities of Parent or (z) the issuer or co-issuer of, or borrower or guarantor under, any series of debt securities or any syndicated credit facility other than as described in clauses (x) and (y), but only to the extent that, in each case, such Subsidiary is not an Excluded Person or (ii) any Person is or becomes a direct or indirect parent entity of the Company that holds any material assets (other than the Equity Interests of the Company or a parent entity of the Company) or owes any material liabilities, whether by formation, acquisition, redomiciliation or otherwise, Parent shall, at Parent’s expense, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) following (A) in the case of clause (i)(z) above, a written request from the Administrative Agent therefor and (B) otherwise, such Person becoming issuer, co-issuer, borrower or guarantor or such formation, acquisition or redomiciliation, as applicable, to cause such Person to (i) become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent such other customary documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, which in any event will not require the delivery of any documentation other than those that are substantially similar to the applicable documents delivered under Sections 3.01(d), (e), (g) and (h) (and appropriate local counsel opinions substantially similar in scope to those delivered on the Closing Date, if applicable).
(b) At any time after the Closing Date, Parent and the Administrative Agent may agree that any Subsidiary of Parent may guarantee the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder by delivering to such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent such customary documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary or Parent.
Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities The first paragraph of Section 9.02 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, but only in relation to the Notes, as follows: “Without notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, with respect to amending the Indenture as to matters that require the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities of each series that would be affected by such amendment, the Notes and any Additional Notes shall vote together as a single class with any future series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities (unless otherwise provided in the prospectus relating to such future series of senior Debt Securities) and any other series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities then Outstanding which are entitled by their terms to vote on the amendment in question; provided further, that no such supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall: reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at which any Debt Security may or shall be redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of premium, if any, principal of and interest on such Holder’s Debt Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Debt Securities; release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities, other than in accordance with this Indenture; make any change in Section 6.06 or this Section 9.02; or, except as provided in Section 11.02(b) or Section 14.04, release the Subsidiary Guarantors other than as provided in this Indenture or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders.”
