Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness The Company and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof, agree that (a) the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to each and all the Securities and (b) any other payment in respect of the Securities, including on account of the acquisition or redemption of Securities by the Company, is subordinated, to the extent and in the manner provided in such Security or in the supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Security is issued, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness specified in such Security or in such supplemental indenture. Such subordination provisions shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, any of such Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and any one or more of them may enforce such provisions. In the event that the Company shall default in the payment of any principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by declaration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such default to the Company by the holders of Senior Indebtedness or any trustee therefor, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities. In the event of
(1) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to the Company, its creditors or its property,
(2) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings,
(3) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or
(4) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company, all Senior Indebtedness of the Company (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Securities of any series shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Indebtedness of the Company (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall have been paid in full. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which are subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan or reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company at the time outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Indebtedness of the Company in full. In the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same. No present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be prejudiced in the right to enforce subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company. Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders thereof shall have received cash, securities or other property equal to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company then outstanding. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Holders of Securities of each series shall be subrogated to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness of the Company until the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities of such series shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by such Holders, by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, on the one hand, and such Holders, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and not on account of the Securities of such series. The Trustee and Holders will take such action (including, without limitation, the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect thereto) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions.
