INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.23
RE: | SUBCONTRACTING CONCEPTS, INC. |
The subject company, Subcontracting Concepts, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Debtor”) from time to time incurs obligations direct, indirect and/or contingent to North Fork Bank (“North Fork”) and Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), a Cayman Islands company, having an office located at c/o Laurus Capital Management, LLC, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (hereinafter sometimes each referred to as a Creditor and collectively as “Creditors”), some or all of which obligations are or may be secured, either wholly or partially, by Collateral. The Creditors desire to agree among themselves as to the relative priority of their respective security interests in Collateral. It is hereby agreed:
1. “Collateral” means all personal property and fixtures of the Debtor, whether now or hereafter existing or now owned or hereinafter acquired and wherever located, of every kind and description, tangible or intangible, including, but not limited to, all goods, equipment, inventory, documents, instruments, chattel paper, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles and all possessory collateral, and including the products and proceeds thereof and accessions thereto, constituting security of obligations of the Debtor, direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent.
2. “General Security Interest” is any perfected (by filing financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise) and enforceable security interest of a Creditor in any Collateral however arising, including purchase money security interests.
3. North Fork Bank shall be secured by a General Security Interest in cash collateral or a Certificate of Deposit pledged to North Fork by the Debtor in the amount of $1,500,000.00 (the “Collateral Pledge”). Laurus shall be secured by a General Security Interest in the Debtor’s Collateral. The lien of Laurus with respect to the Collateral Pledge shall be subject and subordinate to North Fork’s lien. North Fork shall have no General Security Interest in any Collateral of the Debtor other than with respect to the Collateral Pledge. Any Collateral, or proceeds thereof, received at any time or from time to time by a Creditor shall be applied to the payment of the then outstanding obligation due to such Creditor from the Debtor, or, in the case
of the obligation owed to Laurus, from the Debtor or Coach Industries Group, Inc. (“Coach”).
4. Following the occurrence of an event that results in liquidation of the Collateral Pledge, including, but not limited to an event referred to in Paragraph 5 below, North Fork shall apply the proceeds of the Collateral Pledge to satisfy all obligations owing by Debtor to North Fork, and the balance of the proceeds of the Collateral Pledge, if any, shall be turned over to Laurus and shall be, in the sole discretion of Laurus, either held as collateral by Laurus or applied towards reduction of any indebtedness owed by Debtor and/or Coach to Laurus.
5. Following the occurrence of an event of default with respect to the indebtedness owed by Coach to Laurus, Laurus may accelerate all other indebtedness owed by Debtor to Laurus and notify North Fork and the Debtor, in writing, and direct North Fork to terminate its ACH credit facility with the Debtor and liquidate the Collateral Pledge, the proceeds of which shall be applied in accordance with Paragraph 4 above.
6. The priorities specified herein are applicable irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of security interests or the time or order of filing of financing statements or the giving or failure to give notice of the acquisition of purchase money or other security interests.
7. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, priority shall be determined in accordance with law.
8. North Fork acknowledges that the aggregate amount of obligations of the Debtor to North Fork outstanding at any time shall not exceed the principal sum of $1,500,000.00, plus interest and other charges, including reasonable attorney’s fees, due by the Debtor to North Fork.
9. In the event that any Creditor sends a written notice to the Debtor which declares the Debtor’s obligations to such Creditor to be due and payable prior to their scheduled maturity, such Creditor shall, concurrently with sending a copy of such notice to the Debtor, send a copy of such notice to the other Creditor.
10. This Agreement cannot be amended, modified or terminated without the written consent of each of the Creditors. Termination shall not impair any General Security Interest theretofore acquired by any Creditor or affect the priorities thereof.
