Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 5. Assets Wrongly Received. If any Subordinated Creditor receives
any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, securities or other
property) in contravention of this Agreement, it shall hold such payment or
distribution in trust for Senior Creditor, shall segregate the same from all
other cash or assets it holds, and shall immediately deliver the same to Senior

such remedy of specific performance and waives any requirement of the
3
4
posting of any bond which might otherwise be required before such remedy of
specific performance is granted.
Section 7. No Acceleration, Institution of Collection Proceedings or
Interference with Senior Creditor's Collateral. Prior to the Termination Date,
no Subordinated Creditor shall accelerate or collect or attempt to collect any
part of the Subordinated Obligations -- whether through the commencement or
joinder of an action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise) or an Insolvency
Proceeding, the enforcement of any rights against any property of any Related
Person (including any such enforcement by foreclosure, repossession or
sequestration proceedings), or otherwise. This Section 7 shall not limit any
Subordinated Creditor's rights to receive payments as permitted under Section 3
above.
Section 8. Insolvency Proceedings, Power of Attorney.
(a) Upon any distribution of all or any of the assets of any Related
Person, upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such
Related Person (whether or not in any Insolvency Proceeding), or upon an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of such Related Person, then any payment or distribution of any
kind (whether in cash, securities or other property) which otherwise would be
payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations
shall be paid and delivered directly to Senior Creditor to be applied to or, at
Senior Creditor's option held as collateral for, the payment or prepayment of
the Senior Obligations.
(b) During the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to
any Related Person, each Subordinated Creditor shall promptly execute, deliver
and file any documents and instruments which Senior Creditor may from time to
time request in order to (i) file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations in such Insolvency Proceeding, (ii) instruct any
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person
making any payment or distribution in such Insolvency Proceeding to make all
payments which might otherwise be payable or deliverable in respect of the
Subordinated Obligations directly to Senior Creditor, and (iii) otherwise effect
the purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Cumulative of the foregoing, each Subordinated Creditor hereby
grants to Senior Creditor the express power and authority (which power and
authority are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable) to do the
following until the Termination Date in the name of and on behalf of such
Subordinated Creditor:
(i) to file appropriate claims (whether by proofs of claim or
otherwise) in any Insolvency Proceeding and to take such other actions in
such Insolvency Proceeding as may be necessary or desirable to prevent the
waiver or release of any claims for Subordinated Obligations or to enforce
the terms of this Agreement.
(ii) to prosecute and enforce such claims in such Insolvency
Proceeding, to initiate and participate in other proceedings to enforce
such Subordinated Obligations, and to collect and receive any and all such

Obligations which such Subordinated Creditor may have in any
Insolvency Proceeding.

exercise any of the foregoing power and authority, and Senior Creditor may do so
or decline to do so in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 9. Assignment and Marking of Subordinated Obligations. Prior
to the Termination Date, no Subordinated Creditor shall without the prior
consent of Senior Creditor:

Section 3 hereof) otherwise dispose of any right, claim or interest in or
encumber all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations to any Person other

Obligations other than the Senior Obligations.
(c) permit any amendment or modification to the terms of the
Subordinated Obligations or any agreement or document executed in connection

that evidences all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations to bear upon its
face a conspicuous statement or legend to the effect that such instrument and
the indebtedness evidenced thereby are subordinate to the payment of all Senior
Obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and each Subordinated Creditor shall, in
the case of any Subordinated Obligations to which it is a party that is not
evidenced by any instrument, upon Senior Creditor's request, cause such
Subordinated Obligations to be evidenced by an appropriate instrument or
instruments endorsed with such statement or legend.
Section 10. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. No action or
inaction of Senior Creditor or any other Person, and no change of law or
circumstances, shall release or diminish the obligations, liabilities,
agreements or duties hereunder of any Subordinated Creditor, affect this
Agreement in any way, or afford any Person any recourse against Senior Creditor.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of the obligations,
liabilities, agreements and duties of the Subordinated Creditors under this
Agreement shall be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by the
occurrence of any of the following at any time or from time to time, even if
occurring without notice to or without the consent of any or all Subordinated
Creditors (any right of any of the Subordinated Creditors to be so notified or
to require such consent being hereby waived):

Person from its duty to pay any of the Senior Obligations.
(b) any invalidity, deficiency, illegality or unenforceability of
any of the Senior Obligations or the documents and instruments evidencing,
governing or securing the Senior Obligations, in whole or in part, any bar by
any statute of limitations or other law to recovery on any of the Senior
Obligations, or any defense or excuse for failure to perform on account of force
5

majeure, act of God, casualty, impracticability or other defense or excuse with
respect to the Senior Obligations whatsoever.

security for or subordination to any or all of the Senior Obligations.

any terms of the documents and instruments evidencing, governing or securing the
Senior Obligations.
(f) the insolvency, bankruptcy or disability of Related Person or

or other proceeding with respect thereto.
(g) any increase or decrease in the amount of the Senior Obligations
or in the time, manner or terms in accordance with which the Senior Obligations
are to be paid, or any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, waiver or compromise
that may be granted or given with respect to the Senior Obligations.
(h) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Senior
Creditor to take or prosecute any action for the collection of the Senior

any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or part of the Senior
Obligations.

the possession of Senior Creditor or its affiliates.
(j) any judgment, order or decree by any court or governmental
agency or authority that a payment or distribution by any Related Person to
Senior Creditor upon the Senior Obligations is a preference or fraudulent
transfer under applicable bankruptcy or similar laws for the protection of
creditors or is for any other reason required to be refunded by Senior Creditor
or paid by Senior Creditor to any other Person.
(k) any modification of, or waiver of compliance with, any terms of
this Agreement with respect to any party hereto.
(l) any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Senior
Creditor to take or prosecute any action against any Person in connection with
this Agreement.

promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of any Default, notice of
acceleration of any Senior Obligations, and any other notice with respect to any
of the Senior Obligations and this Agreement, and any requirement that Senior

Senior Creditor, or any right to receive contribution or reimbursement from any
other Subordinated Creditor, on account of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.
