Parallel Debt (a) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents and for the purpose of preserving the initial and continuing validity of the security rights granted and to be granted by the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee, an amount equal to and in the same currency of the obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees from time to time due by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and Guarantees, including for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set out under Section 10.02, shall be owing as a separate and independent joint and several obligation of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof the “Parallel Debt”).
(b) The Co-Issuers, each Guarantor and the Collateral Trustee acknowledge that (i) for this purpose the Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, joint and several obligations and liabilities of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture and the Security Documents which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding obligations under the Notes and Guarantees which the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor has to the Holders and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Trustee’s claims as Collateral Trustee to receive payment of the Parallel Debt; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Notes and Guarantees; provided, further, that the Collateral Trustee shall exercise its rights with respect to the Parallel Debt solely in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.
(c) Every payment of monies made by the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee shall (conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application) be in satisfaction pro tanto of the covenant by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor contained in Section 11.13(a); provided that if any such payment as is mentioned above is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, liquidation or similar laws of general application the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor and the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor shall remain liable to perform the relevant obligation and the relevant liability shall be deemed not to have been discharged.
(d) Subject to the provision in paragraph (c) of this Section 11.13:
(i) the total amount due and payable as Parallel Debt under this Section 11.13 shall be decreased to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Collateral Trustee or to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or any of them to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders otherwise receives any amount in payment of the Notes and the Guarantees; and
(ii) to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Trustee or to the Collateral Trustee under the Parallel Debt or the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall have otherwise received monies in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable under the Notes and the Guarantees shall be decreased as if said amounts were received directly in payment of the Notes and Guarantees.
Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document, any Swap Agreement or any Banking Services Agreement have been terminated. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations. If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrower and the Holders of Guaranteed Obligations have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor.
Intercompany Indebtedness The Company shall not create, incur, assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to any Indebtedness arising from loans from any Subsidiary to the Company unless (a) such Indebtedness is unsecured and (b) such Indebtedness shall be expressly subordinate to the payment in full in cash of the Obligations on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Company Indebtedness The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, timely deliver all notices and take all other administrative actions required to facilitate (i) the termination of commitments, repayment in full of all outstanding loans or other obligations, release of any Liens securing such loans or obligations and guarantees in connection therewith, and replacement of or cash collateralization of any issued letters of credit in respect of the Credit Facility on or before the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Parent, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (it being understood that the Company shall promptly and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date notify Parent in writing of the amount of any such Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred and expected to be outstanding on the Closing Date), repayment in full of all obligations in respect of such Indebtedness and release of any Liens securing such Indebtedness and guarantees in connection therewith, in each case, on the Closing Date. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date payoff letters with respect to the Company Credit Facility and, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any Indebtedness incurred by any of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (each, a “Payoff Letter”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type, from the persons, or the applicable agent on behalf of the persons, to which such Indebtedness is owed, which Payoff Letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide for Liens (and guarantees), if any, granted in connection therewith relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing such Indebtedness and any other obligations secured thereby, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable Payoff Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, to be released and terminated. Upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the Company that the Company has determined, after reasonable consultation with Parent, that it will not at the time of the Real Estate Purchase (and without giving effect to the payment of the Real Estate Purchase Price or any other payment under this Agreement) have sufficient unencumbered and available cash, net of “cage cash”, cash on hand required by any Governmental Entity, the reasonably estimated additional amount of cash necessary to ensure the sound operation of the Company’s business consistent with past practice, and any other restricted cash, to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility, then to the extent of such shortfall Parent will extend an unsecured loan to the Company on the day of the Closing so that, together with such net unencumbered and available cash, the proceeds of such loan are sufficient to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility as may be necessary to release all Liens and obligations in respect thereof at the time of, or immediately prior to, the Real Estate Purchase, and the terms of such loan shall be reasonable for the circumstance as negotiated in good faith by Parent and the Company.

Subordinated Indebtedness The Obligations constitute senior indebtedness which is entitled to the benefits of the subordination provisions of all outstanding Subordinated Indebtedness.
