Subordination Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.07.
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 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 Claims The Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture are obligations solely of the Issuer and will not constitute a claim against the Seller to the extent that the Issuer does not have funds sufficient to make payment of such obligations. In furtherance of and not in derogation of the foregoing, each of the Owner Trustee (in its individual capacity and as the Owner Trustee), by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate, and the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary, by entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder and Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person has no right, title or interest in or to the Other Assets of the Seller. To the extent that, notwithstanding the agreements and provisions contained in the preceding sentence, each of the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Intermediary, each Noteholder or Note Owner and the Certificateholder either (i) asserts an interest or claim to, or benefit from, Other Assets, or (ii) is deemed to have any such interest, claim to, or benefit in or from Other Assets, whether by operation of law, legal process, pursuant to applicable provisions of insolvency laws or otherwise (including by virtue of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision having similar effect under the Bankruptcy Code), then such Person further acknowledges and agrees that any such interest, claim or benefit in or from Other Assets is and will be expressly subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full, which, under the terms of the relevant documents relating to the securitization or conveyance of such Other Assets, are entitled to be paid from, entitled to the benefits of, or otherwise secured by such Other Assets (whether or not any such entitlement or security interest is legally perfected or otherwise entitled to a priority of distributions or application under applicable law, including insolvency laws, and whether or not asserted against the Seller), including the payment of post-petition interest on such other obligations and liabilities. This subordination agreement will be deemed a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the Indenture Trustee and the Securities Intermediary, by entering into or accepting this Indenture, the Certificateholder, by accepting the Certificate, and the Owner Trustee, and each Noteholder or Note Owner, by accepting the benefits of this Indenture, hereby further acknowledges and agrees that no adequate remedy at law exists for a breach of this Section 11.19 and the terms of this Section 11.19 may be enforced by an action for specific performance. The provisions of this Section 11.19 will be for the third party benefit of those entitled to rely thereon and will survive the termination of this Indenture.
Subordination Terms The payment by the Company of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any series of Securities issued hereunder shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in an indenture supplemental hereto relating to such series.
Subrogation; Subordination Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 7.03(b)(ii) or 7.03(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.
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.
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.
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 Agreement Each of (i) the subordination of interest payments to the Noteholders of the Class B Notes to the payment of any First Priority Principal Payment to the Noteholders of the Class A Notes and (ii) the subordination of interest payments to the Noteholders of the Class C Notes to the payment of any Second Priority Principal Payment to the Noteholders of the Class A Notes and the Class B Notes under Section 8.2(c) is a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
