(i) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive, in the case of (a) above, payment of all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Indebtedness and, in the case of subclauses (i) and (ii) of clause (b) above, payment of all amounts due thereon, or provision shall be made for such payment in money or money's worth, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment on account of the principal of or any premium or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Article Eleven or Article Twelve;
(ii) any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Corporation of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders of any of the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Corporation being subordinated to the payment of such Securities, shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by such Securities; and
(iii) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Corporation of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Corporation being subordinated to the payment of such Securities, in respect of principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities or in connection with the repurchase by the Corporation of any of the Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of any of the Securities when such payment or distribution is prohibited pursuant to this Section, such payment or distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

(a) In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in respect of all such Senior Debt and all other amounts due or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities.
(b) In the event of any acceleration of Maturity of the Securities because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount due in respect of all Senior Debt is paid in cash or other form of payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or otherwise), and the Company shall give prompt written notice of such acceleration to such holders of Senior Debt.
(c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligations in respect of, any Senior Debt, unless all such payments due in respect of such Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption, or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued.
(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c), any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust):
(1) after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), then, unless all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor; or
(2) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 5.01(c) above, then, unless the amount of such Senior Debt then due shall have been paid in full, or provision made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived, such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Senior Debt may have been issued, as their interests may appear.
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.
