Furthermore, this Paragraph 8 and the subordinations contained herein shall apply notwithstanding the fact that all or any part of the Senior Debt or any claim for or with respect to all of any part of the Senior Debt is subordinated, avoided or disallowed, in whole or in part, in any Insolvency Proceeding or other applicable federal, state or foreign law. Without limiting the foregoing, by acceptance of this Subordinated Deficiency Note, each holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness expressly covenants and agrees that this Subordinated Deficiency Note is enforceable under applicable bankruptcy law and should be enforced under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Until such time as the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and Senior Lenders have no further obligation to make any advances which would constitute Senior Debt, the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall not, and shall not solicit any person or entity to: (i) seek, commence, file, institute, consent to or acquiesce in any Involuntary Proceeding with respect to any Obligor or the Collateral; (ii) seek to consolidate any Obligor with any other person or entity in any Insolvency Proceeding; or (iii) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

(n) Each holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness hereby agrees that it shall not challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Insolvency Proceeding by the Agents, or either of them, or the Senior Lenders, or any of them, or any valuations of the Collateral submitted by the Agents, or either of them, or the Senior Lenders, or any of them, in such Insolvency Proceeding or take any other action in such Insolvency Proceeding, which is adverse to their enforcement of any claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code).

(o) To the extent any transfer, payment or distribution of assets with respect to all or any portion of the Senior Debt (whether in cash, property or securities and whether by or on behalf of any Obligor as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any Obligor, the estate in bankruptcy thereof, any third party, or a trustee, receiver or other similar party under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, then if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, any Obligor, the estate in bankruptcy thereof, any third party, or such trustee, receiver or other similar party, the Senior Debt or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment or distribution had not occurred, and this Paragraph 8 and the agreements and subordination contained herein shall be reinstated with respect to any such transfer, payment or distribution. No Agent shall be required to contest any such declaration or obligation to return such payment or distribution.

(p) Each holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness intentionally and unconditionally waives and relinquishes any right to challenge the validity, enforceability and binding effect of any of the Senior Security Documents or the other Senior Loan Documents, and any lien, encumbrance, claim or security interest now or hereafter created thereunder, or the attachment, perfection or priority thereof, regardless of the order of recording or filing of any thereof, or compliance by the Agents, or either of them, or the Senior Lenders, or any of them, with the terms of any of the Senior Security Documents or any of the other Senior Loan Documents, by reason of any matter, cause or thing now or hereafter occurring, nor shall the holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness raise any such matter, cause or thing as a defense to the enforcement thereof.

(q) Each holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness agrees that it will not in any manner challenge, oppose, object to, interfere with or delay (i) the validity or enforceability of this Subordinated Deficiency Note, including without limitation, any provisions regarding the relative priority of the rights and duties of the Agents, or either of them, and Senior Lenders, or any of them, and the holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or (ii) any Agent’s or any Senior Lender’s security interest in, liens on and rights as to the Obligors, and any Collateral or any other property or assets of any Obligor (with the exception of the Wachovia Collateral), or any Enforcement Actions of the Agents, or either of them, or the Senior Lenders, or any of them, (including, without limitation, any efforts by the Agents, or either of them, to obtain relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code).
