2. Consent to Loans. Lender hereby consents to Borrower entering into the agreements evidencing the Summit Financing. Lender waives any provision in any agreement between Lender and Borrower which prohibits, restricts, or limits the right of Borrower to enter into the agreements evidencing the Summit Financing.
3. Priority of Encumbrances. Irrespective of the time, order, manner, or method of creation, attachment or perfection of the Encumbrances granted to Summit or Lender, the time, place or manner of the filing of their respective financing statements or other method of perfection, the time, place or manner of recording of any instrument, whether Summit or Lender or any bailee or agent thereof holds possession of any or all of the property or assets of Borrower, the dating, execution or delivery of any agreement, documents or instrument granting Summit or Lender the Encumbrance, the giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition of any purchase money security interest or other Encumbrance, and any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable statute or common law to the contrary:
Any and all Encumbrances in favor of Summit in or on any Summit Collateral, now existing or hereafter created, shall have priority over any and all Encumbrances in favor of Lender in or on any Summit Collateral, now existing or hereafter created. Lender hereby subordinates any and all Encumbrances in favor of Lender in or on any Summit Collateral, now existing or hereafter created, to any and all Encumbrances in favor of Summit in or on any Summit Collateral, now existing or hereafter created. In the event Lender receives any payments constituting Summit Collateral, Lender shall forward such payments to Summit within five (5) business days after receipt of the same.
4. Exercise of Default Rights and Remedies. Lender agrees that it will not exercise any Default Rights and Remedies concerning the Lender Financing without first giving Summit at least ninety (90) days written notice of the default on the Lender Financing, which notice shall specify the nature and terms of the default on the Lender Financing.
5. No Waiver of Other Rights. This Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Summit and Lender and nothing contained herein is intended to nor shall impair the obligations of Borrower, any guarantor, or any other obligors, to pay Summit or Lender, as the case may be, the principal and interest on the Summit Financing and the Lender Financing as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, subject to the rights of Summit created by this Intercreditor Agreement.
6. Nonavoidability and Perfection. The subordinations and priorities provided herein are applicable regardless of whether the Encumbrance to which another Encumbrance is subordinated is perfected or is voidable for any reason.
