Payment and Priority of the Deferred Purchase Price. (a) After the Closing Date the Deferred Purchase Price shall be paid by the Buyer only in accordance with the Waterfall. Each Seller shall be entitled to such Seller’s Share of the Deferred Purchase Price. Interest on the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price shall accrue during each Calculation Period on a daily basis on the amount of the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price outstanding as of each day and at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR in effect for such Calculation Period plus 3.00%; provided that interest on the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price shall accrue during the initial Calculation Period at the rate of 4.635% per annum. Interest shall be calculated during any Calculation Period on the basis of the actual days elapsed and the actual number of days in the calendar year during which such Calculation Period occurs. Interest on the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price shall be capitalized as of the start of each Interest Capitalization Date by increasing the outstanding amount of the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price by the amount of accrued but unpaid interest on the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price as of such time and thereafter deeming such accrued interest paid in full as of such time. Interest shall not accrue on the Variable Deferred Purchase Price. (b) All rights of the Sellers to payment of the Deferred Purchase Price and any amounts owed by the Buyer to the Seller Parties under any Transaction Document (other than pursuant to Section 1.02 hereof) or otherwise (collectively, the “Junior Obligations”) are subordinate and junior in right of payment to (i) the Obligations (excluding the Contingent Interest) owing to the Senior Lender pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including in respect of principal and interest on the Senior Loan (excluding the Contingent Interest), and (ii) all other items above the Fixed Deferred Purchase Price in the priority of payments set forth in the Waterfall (the amounts in clauses (i) and (ii) being, collectively, the “Senior Debt”) to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement and in the Security Agreement. (c) Unless and until all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash in accordance with its terms, the Buyer shall not, directly or indirectly, make or agree to make: (i) any payment (in cash or property, by set-off or otherwise), direct or indirect, of or on account of Junior Obligations (except for payments relating to the Cash Purchase Price Adjustment Amount under Section 1.02(b) or (c) above) and no such payment shall be accepted by any Seller Party; or (ii) any purchase, prepayment or other acquisition, direct or indirect, in respect of the Junior Obligations, and no such payment shall be accepted by any Seller Party. (d) Upon any payment by the Buyer of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the Buyer, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other statutory or common law proceedings or arrangements, then and in any such event all principal and interest and all other amounts due or that become due upon the Senior Debt shall first be paid in full in cash before any Seller Party shall be entitled to retain any amounts so paid in respect of the Junior Obligations and, upon any such dissolution or winding up or liquidation or reorganization, any payment of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which any Seller Party would be entitled, except as otherwise provided herein, shall be paid by the Buyer or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment, or by any Seller Party if received by them, to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with the Waterfall, to the extent necessary to pay all the Senior Debt in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment to or for any holder of the Senior Debt, before any payment is made to any Seller Party on account of the Junior Obligations. (e) Until the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash, each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Senior Lender and its representatives, under the circumstances set forth in paragraph (c) above, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every such payment described therein and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claims in any statutory or nonstatutory proceeding. Each Seller Party shall execute and deliver to the Senior Lender and its representatives all such further instruments confirming the foregoing authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of claim and other instruments, and shall take all such other action as may be requested by the Senior Lender or its representatives in order to enable the Senior Lender to enforce all of its claims upon or in respect of the Junior Obligations. (f) Until the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full in cash, should any payment be collected or received by any Seller Party or should any Seller Party acquire custody, control or possession of all or any portion of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof other than, in each case, pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any such Seller Party shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days) turn over the same to the Collateral Agent in the form received (except for the endorsement or the assignment of any such Seller Party when necessary) and, until so turned over, the same shall be held in trust by any such Seller Party as the property of the Senior Lender. (g) Each Seller Party agrees that it will not at any time, without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party, (i) commence or institute against the Buyer or join with or facilitate any other Person in commencing or instituting against the Buyer, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, dissolution, receivership, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state, or other jurisdiction, bankruptcy or similar law or statute now or hereafter in effect in connection with any obligations relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or (ii) participate in any assignment for benefit of creditors, compositions, or arrangements with respect to the Buyer’s debts. The agreements in this Section 1.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of the Senior Debt. (h) No Seller Party shall have any right to demand payment of, or institute any proceedings in respect of, the Junior Obligations, or exercise any remedies under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or request or instruct the Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent to exercise any such remedies until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash. (i) Application of the foregoing provisions to the Junior Obligations, the subordination effected thereby and the rights of the Senior Lender shall not be affected by (i) any amendment of or addition or supplement to any Transaction Document or the Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement relating thereto or providing collateral security for any Senior Debt, (ii) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of any Transaction Document or the Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement relating thereto, or any release of any collateral securing the Senior Debt or (iii) any waiver, consent, release, indulgence, extension, renewal, modification, delay or any other action, inaction or omission in respect of any Transaction Document or the Senior Debt or any instrument or agreement relating thereto or providing collateral security for the Senior Debt, in each case whether or not any Seller Party shall have had notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing. (j) Each Seller Party hereby waives notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lender upon the provisions hereof, and the Senior Debt shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred or maintained in reliance upon the provisions hereof. (k) The Buyer hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind whatsoever. The non-exercise by any holder of Senior Debt, the Controlling Party or the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document in any particular instance shall not constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance. (l) The subordination provisions contained herein are for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt and their respective successors and assigns and may not be rescinded or cancelled or modified in any way without the prior written consent of the Controlling Party. (m) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Controlling Party nor any holder of Senior Debt shall have any obligation to take the interests of any Seller Party into consideration when making decisions concerning the exercise of any rights or remedies as against the Buyer or in respect of the Collateral. (n) Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, the Contingent Interest and the Variable Deferred Purchase Price will rank pari passu with each other and subordinate to the Senior Debt. (o) In addition, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.03 is intended or will be interpreted as requiring any Seller to return to the Buyer any amounts received by it pursuant to the Waterfall.
