Subordination of Liens Notwithstanding the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens granted to the Second-Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral or of any Liens granted to the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders on the Common Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law or the Second-Priority Documents or the Senior Lender Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Intercreditor Agent or any Senior Lenders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims, (b) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims and (c) with respect to any Second-Priority Claims (and as between the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties), the Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall rank equally and ratably in all respects. All Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Lender Claims are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person.
Subordination of Debt Until senior debt has been paid in full, Debtor will not pay and Creditor will not accept any payment on subordinated debt at any time that an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Facility Agreement) has occurred and is continuing in respect of senior debt. Anything of value received by Creditor on account of subordinated debt in violation of this agreement will be held by Creditor in trust and immediately will be turned over to Lender in the form received to be applied by Lender on senior debt.
Subordination of Junior Financing The Obligations are “Senior Debt,” “Senior Indebtedness,” “Guarantor Senior Debt” or “Senior Secured Financing” (or any comparable term) under, and as defined in, any Junior Financing Documentation.
SUBORDINATION OF NOTES Section 11.01.
Lien Subordination Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to First Lien Agent (or First Lien Co-Agent or any First Lien Lender) or Second Lien Agent (or any Second Lien Lender) in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral, (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of First Lien Agent (or First Lien Co-Agent or any First Lien Lender) or Second Lien Agent (or any Second Lien Lender) in any Collateral, (iii) any provision of the UCC, any other applicable law, any of the First Lien Loan Documents or the Second Lien Loan Documents, (iv) irrespective of whether the Liens securing the First Lien Loan Documents are valid, perfected, enforceable, void, avoidable, subordinated, disputed or allowed, or (v) any other circumstance whatsoever, each of First Lien Agent and First Lien Co-Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Lenders, and Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Lenders, hereby agree that:
(1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Lender that secures all or any portion of the Second Lien Indebtedness, shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to First Lien Agent, First Lien Co-Agent and the First Lien Lenders in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the First Lien Indebtedness, and
(2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of First Lien Agent, First Lien Co-Agent or any First Lien Lender that secures all or any portion of the First Lien Indebtedness shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Lenders in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Second Lien Indebtedness.
Subordination Unimpaired This Indenture may not be amended to alter the subordination of any of the Outstanding Securities without the written consent of each holder of Senior Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.
Subordination of Indebtedness Any indebtedness or other obligation of Borrower now or hereafter held by or owing to Guarantor is hereby subordinated in time and right of payment to all obligations of Borrower to Bank, except as such indebtedness or other obligation is expressly permitted to be paid under the Credit Agreement; and such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor is assigned to Bank as security for this Guaranty, and if Bank so requests shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor in trust for Bank and to be paid over to Bank on account of the Obligations of Borrower to Bank, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Any notes now or hereafter evidencing such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this Guaranty and shall be delivered to Bank.
Subordination Provisions The Sponsor covenants and agrees, and the Servicer, by its acceptance of this Note, likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of all Junior Liabilities is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Liabilities to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this paragraph 7:
(i) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Sponsor, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Sponsor or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Sponsor except pursuant to the Sale and Servicing Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), and (ii) on and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Senior Liabilities shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Servicer shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of the Junior Liabilities. In order to implement the foregoing: (x) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of the Junior Liabilities to which the Servicer would be entitled except for this clause (a) shall be made directly to the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders, and the Insurer); and (y) the Servicer hereby irrevocably agrees that the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of the Noteholders), in the name of the Servicer or otherwise, may demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Servicer relating to the Junior Liabilities, in each case until the Senior Liabilities shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash.
(b) Following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (a)(i) or (ii), in the event that the Servicer receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Sponsor or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of the Junior Liabilities, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Indenture Trustee and shall be turned over by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders, and the Insurer) forthwith. All payments and distributions received by the Indenture Trustee in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer) first to the payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Insurer in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Servicer and the Noteholders and the Insurer, be applied by the Indenture Trustee toward the payment of the Senior Liabilities in a manner determined by the Indenture Trustee to be in accordance with the Indenture; but as between the Sponsor and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Liabilities.
(c) Upon the final payment in full and in cash of all Senior Liabilities, the Servicer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indenture Trustee to receive payments or distributions from the Sponsor that are applicable to the Senior Liabilities until the Junior Liabilities are paid in full.
(d) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Indenture Trustee (on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer), on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Note (subject to paragraph 10 hereof) is intended to or shall impair, as between the Sponsor, its creditors (other than the Noteholders and the Insurer) and the Servicer, the Sponsor’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Junior Liabilities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to paragraph 10 hereof) and of the Sale and Servicing Agreement or to affect the relative rights of the Servicer and creditors of the Sponsor (other than the Noteholders and the Insurer).
(e) The Servicer shall not, until the Senior Liabilities have been finally paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Sponsor, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or thereafter existing, or due or to become due (other than the Senior Liabilities), the Junior Liabilities or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert the Junior Liabilities into an equity interest in the Sponsor, unless, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Servicer shall have received the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer in each case.
(f) The Servicer shall not, except without the advance written consent of the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Sponsor until at least one year and one day have passed since the Termination Date.
(g) If, at any time, any of the payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored or returned by the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders or the Insurer (whether in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.
(h) The Indenture Trustee (on behalf of Noteholders and the Insurer) may, from time to time, with the consent of the Insurer without notice to the Servicer, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Liabilities; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Liabilities, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Liabilities; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify the Sale and Servicing Agreement or any related document; and (v) release its security interest in or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Liabilities, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.
(i) The Servicer hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Noteholders and the Insurer, (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Liabilities; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Liabilities, or any thereof, or any security therefor.
(j) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Sponsor to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Liabilities; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Insurer, and the Indenture Trustee may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
Subordination and Late Payments Subordination 15 Section 5.2 Late Payments by Corporate Taxpayer 15 ARTICLE VI NO DISPUTES; CONSISTENCY; COOPERATION
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.
