over the aggregate amount of any Accelerated Amortization
Payments payable in respect of each of the two Test Periods

an amount not in excess of a cash contribution to the common
equity of the Borrower by the Investors made contemporaneously
with such payment.
(c) No Event of Default which existed on the date any Default
Blockage Notice was given shall be the basis for giving any subsequent Default
Blockage Notice, unless such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived or
otherwise ceased to exist for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days
after the date such Default Blockage Notice was given.
(d) No more than one Default Blockage Notice may be given

any payment or distribution is made with respect to the Subordinated
Obligations; and

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event or proceeding described
in clause (1) or (2) of the definition of "Insolvency Event" commenced by or
against the Borrower:
(1) each Subordinated Holder irrevocably authorizes and
empowers the Agent (A) to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or
distribution on account of the Subordinated Obligations payable or deliverable
in connection with such event or proceeding and give acquittance therefor, and
(B) to file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or non-statutory
proceeding and take such other actions (but excluding the right to vote any
claim of any Subordinated Holder in any such proceeding), in its own name as
Agent, or in the name of the Subordinated Holders or otherwise, as the Agent may
deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment
imposes no obligation on the Agent to take any such action, and provided,
further, however, that if the Agent shall take such action, the Agent shall use
its reasonable efforts to keep the Subordinated Holders reasonably informed in
connection with such action;
(2) each Subordinated Holder shall take such action, duly
and promptly, as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time (A) to
collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Senior Lenders and
(B) to file appropriate proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated
Obligations; and
(3) each Subordinated Holder shall execute and deliver
such powers of attorney, assignments or proofs of claim or other instruments as
the Agent may reasonably request to enable the Agent to enforce any and all
claims in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and to collect and receive any
and all payments and distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any
time upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.
(c) If any payment or distribution, whether consisting of
money, property or securities, be collected or received by any Subordinated
Holder in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, except payments permitted to
be made at the time of payment as provided in paragraph 2(b), such Subordinated
Holder forthwith shall deliver the same to the Agent for the account of the
Senior Lenders, in the form received, duly endorsed to the Agent, if required,
to be applied to the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the

distribution shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Holder as the property
of the Senior Lenders, segregated from other funds and property held by such
Subordinated Holder.
4. Subrogation. Subject to the prior payment in full of the
Senior Obligations, the Subordinated Holders shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Senior Lenders to receive payments or distributions of assets of the
Borrower in respect of the Senior Obligations. For the purposes of such
subrogation, payments or distributions to the Agent, for the account of the
Senior Lenders, of any money, property or securities to which any Subordinated
Holder would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed, as between the Borrower and its creditors other than the Senior Lenders
and such Subordinated Holder, to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account
of Subordinated Obligations, it being understood that the provisions of this
Agreement are, and are intended
-7-

solely, for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated
Holders, on the one hand, and the Senior Lenders, on the other hand.
5. Consent of Subordinated Holders.
(a) Each Subordinated Holder consents, notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents, to the
execution, delivery and performance of the Senior Loan Documents and to the
incurrence and existence of the Senior Obligations.

necessity of any reservation of rights against any Subordinated Holder, and
without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Holder:
(1) any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations made
by the Agent or any Senior Lender may be rescinded in whole or in part by the
Agent or any such Senior Lender, and any Senior Obligation may be continued, and
the Senior Obligations, or the liability of the Borrower or any co-obligor or
any other party upon or for any part thereof, or right of offset with respect
thereto, or any obligation or liability of the Borrower or any other party under
the Senior Credit Agreements or any other agreement, may, from time to time, in
whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised,
waived, surrendered, or released by the Agent or any Senior Lender; and
(2) the Senior Credit Agreements, the Senior Notes and any
other Senior Loan Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated,
in whole or in part, as the Agent or any Senior Lender may deem advisable from
time to time, provided, that no such amendment, supplement or other modification
shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the Commitments or Loans
available and outstanding thereunder, or increase the interest rate thereon,
in each case all without notice to or further assent by any Subordinated Holder,
which will remain bound under this Agreement, and all without impairing,
abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein.
(c) Each Subordinated Holder waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and
notice of or proof of reliance by the Senior Lenders upon this Agreement. The
Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall be deemed conclusively to have been
created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and all
dealings between the Borrower and the Senior Lenders shall be deemed to have
been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Subordinated Holder
acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Lenders have relied upon the
subordination provided for herein in entering into the Senior Credit Agreements
and in making funds available to the Borrower thereunder. Each Subordinated
Holder waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Agreement and protest,
demand for payment and notice of default.

long as any of the Senior Obligations shall remain outstanding, no Subordinated
Holder shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent:
(i) sell, assign, or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part,
the Subordinated Obligations or any interest therein to any other Person (a
