AGREEMENT
NOW,
THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Each Creditor
subordinates to Agent any security interest or lien that such
Creditor may have in any property of any Borrower. Notwithstanding
the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security
interest of a Creditor and the security interest of Agent, the
security interest of Agent in the Collateral, as defined in the
Loan Agreement, shall at all times be prior to the security
interest of such Creditor. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the same meaning as in the Loan
Agreement.
2. Except as expressly
set forth in Section 3, all Subordinated Debt is subordinated in
right of payment to all obligations of any Borrower to Agent and
Lender now existing or hereafter arising, together with all costs
of collecting such obligations (including attorneys’ fees),
including, without limitation, all interest accruing after the
commencement by or against any Borrower of any Bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding, and all obligations under the
Loan Agreement (the “Senior
Debt”).
1
3. No Creditor will
demand or receive from any Borrower (and no Borrower will pay to
such Creditor) all or any part of the Subordinated Debt, by way of
payment, prepayment, setoff, lawsuit or otherwise, nor will such
Creditor exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral, nor
will such Creditor commence, or cause to commence, prosecute or
participate in any administrative, legal or equitable action
against any Borrower, for so long as any portion of the Senior Debt
remains outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Creditors shall
be permitted to receive, and Borrowers shall be permitted to pay,
the following payments:
a.
If an Advance has
been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, regularly
scheduled payments as set forth in the Subordinated Notes in the
form attached hereto, but only if no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing as of the date of such payment and no Event of
Default would result from such payment.
b.
If no Advance has
been made pursuant to Tranche III of the Loan Agreement, (a)
regularly scheduled payments of interest as set forth in the
Subordinated Notes in the form attached hereto, but only if no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of
such payment and no Event of Default would result from such
payment, and (b) regularly scheduled payments of principal as set
forth in the Subordinated Notes in the form attached hereto, but
only if (i) after giving pro forma effect to such payment,
Borrowers would have cash in Deposit Accounts or Investment
Accounts subject to Account Control Agreements (as such terms are
defined in the Loan Agreement) in favor of Agent in an amount not
less than $7,500,000, on a consolidated basis, or (ii) as of the
end of the last fiscal quarter for which financial statements were
required to be delivered to Agent pursuant to the Loan Agreement,
Parent maintained Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan
Agreement) for the twelve month period ended as of such date, of
not less than $2,000,000.
For
purposes of the foregoing determinations, amounts of permitted
payments shall be determined in the aggregate for all Subordinated
Notes and taking into account the aggregate payments due in respect
of the Subordinated Notes.
4. Each Creditor shall
promptly deliver to Agent in the form received (except for
endorsement or assignment by such Creditor where required by Agent)
for application to the Senior Debt any payment, distribution,
security or proceeds received by such Creditor with respect to the
Subordinated Debt other than in accordance with this
Agreement.
5. In the event of any
Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding under any Bankruptcy or insolvency law or laws relating
to the relief of debtors, these provisions shall remain in full
force and effect, and Agent’s and Lender’s claims
against such Borrower shall be paid in full before any payment is
made to any Creditor.
6. For so long as any
of the Senior Debt remains unpaid, each Creditor irrevocably
appoints Agent as such Creditor’s attorney-in-fact, and
grants to Agent a power of attorney with full power of
substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of Agent,
for the use and benefit of Agent, without notice to such Creditor,
to perform at Agent’s option the following acts in any
Bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving a
Borrower:
(a)
To file the
appropriate claim or claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on
behalf of such Creditor if such Creditor does not do so prior to 30
days before the expiration of the time to file claims in such
proceeding and if Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to file
such claim or claims; or
2
(b)
To accept or reject
any plan of reorganization or arrangement on behalf of such
Creditor and to otherwise vote such Creditor’s claims in
respect of any Subordinated Debt in any manner that Agent deems
appropriate for the enforcement of its rights
hereunder.
7. In the event of a
Borrower’s insolvency, reorganization or any case or
proceeding, arrangement or transaction under any federal or state
bankruptcy or insolvency law or similar laws or proceedings
involving a Borrower, for so long as any of the Senior Debt remains
unpaid, if Agent, Lender or any of them shall seek to provide a
Borrower or any other Loan Party with any financing under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code , or Agent or Lender
support or consent to such financing provided by a third party, or
consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a
“DIP
Financing” or “Cash Collateral Use”),
with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use to be secured by all
or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for
the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any
similar provision of any foreign laws relating to the relief of
debtors) would be Collateral), then each Creditor agrees that it
will raise no objection and will not support, directly or
indirectly, any objection to such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral
Use nor object to the liens or claims granted in connection
therewith on any grounds, including a failure to provide
“adequate protection” for the liens, if any, securing
any Subordinated Debt (and will not request any adequate protection
as a result of such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral Use, and will
not support any debtor-in-possession financing or Cash Collateral
Use which would compete with such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral
Use which is provided to or consented to by Agent or Lender). In
addition, each Creditor agrees that it will not provide nor seek to
provide or support any debtor-in-possession financing without the
prior written consent of Agent.
8. Each Creditor shall
immediately affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the
Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the
terms of this Agreement. No amendment of the documents evidencing
or relating to the Subordinated Debt shall directly or indirectly
modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might
terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or
the subordination of the security interest or lien that such
Creditor may have in any property of a Borrower. In addition, such
instruments shall not be amended to (i) increase the rate of
interest with respect to the Subordinated Debt, or
(ii) accelerate the payment of the principal or interest or
any other portion of the Subordinated Debt. Each Creditor
represents and warrants that a true copy of the Subordinated Note,
as in effect as of the date hereof is attached as Exhibit A hereto, and that no
Subordinated Note has been assigned to any other
person.
9. This Agreement
shall remain effective for so long as Agent or Lender has any
obligation to make credit extensions to a Borrower or any Borrower
owes any amounts to Agent or Lender under the Loan Agreement or
otherwise. If, at any time after payment in full of the Senior Debt
any payments of the Senior Debt must be disgorged by Agent or
Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the
Bankruptcy of a Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights
and priorities set forth herein shall be reinstated as to all such
disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made and
each Creditor shall immediately pay over to Agent all payments
received with respect to the Subordinated Debt to the extent that
such payments would have been prohibited hereunder. At any time and
from time to time, without notice to Creditors, Agent or Lender may
take such actions with respect to the Senior Debt as Agent and
Lender, respectively, in its sole discretion, may deem appropriate,
including, without limitation, terminating advances to a Borrower,
increasing the principal amount (which may include any DIP
Financing), extending the time of payment, increasing applicable
interest rates, renewing, compromising or otherwise amending the
terms of any documents affecting the Senior Debt and any collateral
securing the Senior Debt, and enforcing or failing to enforce any
rights against a Borrower or any other person. No such action or
inaction shall impair or otherwise affect Agent’s or
Lender’s rights hereunder.
10. This Agreement
shall bind any successors or assignees of a Creditor and shall
benefit any successors or assigns of Agent. This Agreement is
solely for the benefit of each Creditor, Agent and Lender and not
for the benefit of any Borrower or any other party. Each Creditor
further agrees that if a Borrower is in the process of refinancing
a portion of the Senior Debt with a new lender, and if Agent makes
a request of such Creditor, such Creditor shall agree to enter into
a new subordination agreement with the new lender on substantially
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
3
11. This Agreement may
be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.
12. This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
internal laws of the State of California, without regard to
principles of conflicts of law. Jurisdiction shall lie in the State
of California. THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE RIGHT TO TRIAL
BY JURY IS A CONSTITUTIONAL ONE, BUT THAT IT MAY BE WAIVED UNDER
CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY,
AFTER CONSULTING (OR HAVING HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT) WITH
COUNSEL OF ITS, HIS OR HER CHOICE, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND
FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL PARTIES, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE UNDERSIGNED PARTIES. If the jury waiver set forth in this
Section is not enforceable, then any dispute, controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
transactions contemplated herein shall be resolved by judicial
reference pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et
seq before a mutually acceptable referee or, if none is selected,
then a referee chosen by the Presiding Judge of the California
Superior Court for Santa Xxxxx County, provided this provision
shall not restrict any party from seeking to enforce any
prejudgment remedies.
13. This Agreement
represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and
commitments. No Creditor is relying on any representations by
Agent, Lender or any Borrower in entering into this Agreement, and
each Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully
apprised of the financial and other condition of a Borrower. This
Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by each
Creditor, Agent and Borrowers.
14. In the event of any
legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement,
the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition
to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in
such action.
