Section 3.03 Lien Subordination. Any and all Liens now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of any Subordinated Party securing Subordinated Obligations, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, are expressly junior and subordinate in priority, operation and effect to any and all Liens now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of any Senior Secured Party securing the Senior Secured Debt Obligations, notwithstanding (a) anything to the contrary contained in any agreement or filing to which any Subordinated Party may now or hereafter be a party, and regardless of the time, order or method of grant, attachment, recording or perfection of any

Section 3.04 Permitted Payments. Subject to Section 3.02 hereof and receipt by the Senior Collateral Agent of evidence reasonably acceptable to the Senior Collateral Agent that such payments are otherwise permitted pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Documents, the Subordinated Lender may accept and retain (a) payment-in-kind interest provided for in the Subordinated Note without restriction of any kind hereunder or otherwise and (b) scheduled payments of principal and interest due and payable from time to time (including at maturity) which are required to be paid to the Subordinated Lender, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Note and Subordinated Lender shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts over to the Senior Collateral Agent.

Section 3.05 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The Senior Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Senior Secured Party, shall have no obligation to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Subordinated Lender’s Lien on each item constituting the Subordinated Collateral. The Subordinated Lender shall have no obligation to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Senior Collateral Agent’s Lien on each item constituting the Senior Secured Collateral. This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective Lien and payment

priorities as between the Senior Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Subordinated Lender, on the other hand, and no Subordinated Lender shall impose on the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds or foreclosure of any Collateral which would conflict with prior claims thereon in favor of the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. The Subordinated Lender, agrees that it will not at any time directly or indirectly object to, contest or support any other Person in objecting to or contesting in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations, the Senior Secured Debt Documents, or the Liens and security interests of the Senior Collateral Agent in the Senior Secured Collateral.

Notwithstanding any failure by the Senior Collateral Agent, the Subordinated Lender, any Senior Secured Party or the Subordinated Lender to perfect its security interests in the Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the Collateral granted to any of the foregoing, the priority and rights as between the Senior Collateral Agent, Subordinated Lender, Senior Secured Parties and Subordinated Lender with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Secured Party, or the Subordinated Lender to enforce this Agreement.

Section 3.06 Authorizations to Senior Collateral Agent and Senior Secured Parties. Each Subordinated Lender hereby (a) irrevocably authorizes and empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Senior Collateral Agent to demand, xxx for, collect and receive all payments and distributions on or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations that are required to be paid or delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent provided herein, and to file and prove all claims therefor and take all such other actions, in the name of such Subordinated Lender, or otherwise, as the Senior Collateral Agent may determine to be necessary or appropriate for the enforcement of these subordination provisions (other than the exercise of the Subordinated Lender’s voting rights in respect of its claim in any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Debtors), and (b) agrees to execute and deliver to the Senior Collateral Agent all such further instruments confirming the above authorization, and all such powers of attorney and other instruments and to take all such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Senior Collateral Agent in order to enable the Senior Collateral Agent to enforce all claims upon or in respect of such Senior Secured Debt Obligations.

Any such action may be taken by the Senior Collateral Agent without any consultation with or the consent of the Subordinated Lender. In the event that the Senior Collateral Agent releases or agrees to release any of its Liens or security interests in any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof, or any of the Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, the Subordinated Lender shall be deemed to consent to such sale or other disposition and the Subordinated Lender’s Liens on and security interest in the Collateral to be sold or retained may be released without the need for any further consent or action from the Subordinated Lender. In the event of any sale, transfer, or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Debt Documents until such time as the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full and thereafter shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Note Documents until such time as the Subordinated Obligations have been paid in full.

Section 3.10 No New Liens.

(a) The Subordinated Lender agrees that no Subordinated Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of the Debtors securing any Subordinated Obligation which assets are not also made part of the Senior Secured Collateral and subject to this Agreement. If any Subordinated Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of the Debtors securing any Subordinated Obligation which assets are not also made part of the Senior Secured Collateral and subject to this Agreement, they shall, without the need for further consent of any other party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other

document (a) be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Senior Collateral Agent as security for the Senior Secured Debt Obligations (such Lien to have the priority set forth in this Article III) and shall assign such Lien to the Senior Collateral Agent or (b) if (i) such Lien is held by the Subordinated Lender and (ii) the Senior Collateral Agent is not able to obtain a prior perfected Lien on the applicable assets and (iii) the Senior Collateral Agent so requests, release such Lien.

Section 3.11 Limitation on Duties and Obligations.

(a) Until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced against the Debtors, the Senior Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to take or continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral or any other assets of the Debtors, including the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce (or not enforce) the terms of the Senior Secured Debt Documents with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder in such order and manner as it may determine in its sole discretion (in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Senior Secured Debt Documents), including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Collateral and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral, without any consultation with or the consent of the Subordinated Lender. In that regard, no Subordinated Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent (i) take or continue any Enforcement Action, (ii) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (iii) contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought with respect to the Collateral by the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the Senior Secured Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations, or (iv) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement Action or other action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral in respect of Senior Secured Debt Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender may, subject to Section 8.02, file and defend proofs of claim against the Debtors in any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Debtors.

(b) The Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees it shall not, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, directly or indirectly bid, or work in concert with any prospective bidder, in any sale or disposition of any assets of AGMIT (including any credit bid) unless such bid (i) contains a cash component sufficient to Pay in Full in cash the Senior Secured Debt Obligations and (ii) requires, and is expressly conditioned upon the court approving, such payment being made in closing of the transaction. None of the Senior Secured Parties shall have any liability to any Subordinated Party in respect of any failure by any of the Senior Secured Parties to obtain repayment in full of the Subordinated Obligations.

Section 4.02 Standstills and Waivers. The Subordinated Lender agrees that until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations are Paid in Full, the Subordinated Lender:

(a) will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of any Subordinated Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or to give any Subordinated Lender any preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the Senior Secured Debt Obligations or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to any of the Collateral;

(b) will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding by or against the Debtors or any of their assets) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by or for the benefit of the Senior Collateral Agent or any other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf of any Senior Secured Party;

(c) has no right to (i) direct any Senior Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Documents or (ii) have its consent required for or object to the exercise by any Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a junior lien creditor, unsecured creditor or otherwise, each such Person hereby irrevocably waives such right);

(d) will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and neither the Senior Collateral Agent nor any Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Documents;

(e) will not commence any Enforcement Action;

(f) will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or realize upon, the Collateral or the Subordinated Note Documents; and

(g) will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have the Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral.

ARTICLE V
Payments.

Section 5.01 Application of Collateral Proceeds. If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Secured Debt Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, so long as the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have not been Paid in Full and whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Debtors, the Collateral and any proceeds received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the Senior Collateral Agent to the Senior Secured Debt Obligations in such order as specified in the Senior Secured Debt Documents until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. Notwithstanding Section 5.01 of that certain Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of April 10, 2020, by and among AG REIT Management LLC, the Debtors, and Wilmington Trust, National Association (as amended from time to time thereafter, the “Participating Counterparties Intercreditor Agreement”), when the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Senior Collateral Agent shall, if the Subordinated Obligations have not been otherwise satisfied, deliver promptly to the Subordinated Lender (not AG REIT Management LLC) any Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Subordinated Lender to the Subordinated Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Subordinated Note Document.

Section 5.02 Payments Over. Unless and until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full and whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Debtors, the Collateral and any proceeds thereof received by the Subordinated Lender in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Collateral, in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of, and immediately paid over to, the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Senior

Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Subordinated Lender. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

ARTICLE VI
Modifications and Amendments.

Section 6.01 Modifications to Senior Secured Debt Documents. The Senior Collateral Agent and Senior Secured Parties may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to the Subordinated Lender, without incurring liability to the Subordinated Lender and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Subordinated Lender under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment, or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations (including any increase in the amount thereof), or amend in any manner any Senior Secured Debt Document.

Section 6.02 Modifications to Subordinated Note Documents. Until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Note Documents, the Subordinated Lender agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent, agree to any amendment, modification, or supplement to the Subordinated Note Documents if such amendment, modification or supplement would add or change any terms in a manner adverse to the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any addition of any Event of Default under the Subordinated Note Documents not existing on the date hereof), or shorten the final maturity of the Subordinated Obligations, require any payment to be made sooner than originally scheduled, increase the interest rate applicable thereto or subject the Debtors to any prohibitions or limitations on the making of payments on the Senior Secured Debt Obligations.

ARTICLE VII
Waiver of Certain Rights over Collateral by Subordinated Lender.

Section 7.01 Marshalling. The Subordinated Lender hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshalling or to otherwise require the Senior Collateral Agent to marshal any property of the Debtors for the benefit of the Subordinated Parties.

Section 7.02 Rights Relating to Senior Collateral Agent’s Actions Regarding the Collateral. The Subordinated Lender hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing the Senior Collateral Agent from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender hereby agrees (a) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which the Senior

Collateral Agent applies the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by the Senior Collateral Agent of rights and remedies under the Senior Secured Debt Documents and (b) that the Senior Collateral Agent has not assumed any obligation to act as the agent for the Subordinated Lender with respect to the Collateral. The Senior Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Collateral Agent may enforce the provisions of the Senior Secured Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC. In conducting any public or private sale under the UCC, the Senior Collateral Agent shall give the Subordinated Lender written notice of such sale; provided, however, that ten (10) days’ notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice; provided, further, that the Subordinated Lender may waive the number of days required to provide notice.

Section 7.03 Preservation of Rights. The Senior Collateral Agent shall have no duty to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Collateral in its possession and the Senior Collateral Agent shall not have any liability to the Subordinated Lender for any claims and liabilities at any time arising with respect to the Collateral in its possession.

Section 7.04 Bailee/Agent for Perfection. Each of the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees that to the extent that it (or its agent) retains physical possession or control of any of the Collateral or has control of any Collateral consisting of deposit accounts or securities accounts, it (or its agent) shall hold such Collateral or have such control on behalf of the others so that for purposes of perfecting any Lien in any Collateral it acts and holds such Collateral on behalf of the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lender. Nothing in this Section 7.04 shall affect the relative priorities in and to the Collateral, all of which shall be governed by Article III.

ARTICLE VIII
Insolvency Proceedings.

Section 8.01 Subordination Agreement. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to the Borrower shall include the Borrower as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Borrower in any Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 8.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving the Debtors:

(a) All Senior Secured Debt Obligations shall first be Paid in Full before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Subordinated Party on account of any Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Obligations shall be delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent, and applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Secured Debt Documents.

(c) The Subordinated Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs any debtor, debtor-in-possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to the Senior Collateral Agent as set forth above. The Subordinated Lender also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Collateral Agent, in the name of the Subordinated Lender, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.

(d) The Subordinated Lender agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of any portion of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations or any Liens and security interests securing any portion of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations.

(e) The Subordinated Lender agrees that the Senior Secured Parties may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide debtor-in-possession financing to the Borrower, on such terms and conditions as the Senior Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, may decide _ and, in connection therewith, the Borrower may grant to the Senior Collateral Agent liens and security interests upon all of the property of the Borrower, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of all Senior Secured Debt Obligations owing to the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties (whether such Senior Secured Debt Obligations arose prior to the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by the Senior Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties) and the Senior Secured Parties during such Insolvency Proceeding and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the Liens in favor of the Subordinated Lender on the property of the Debtors. The Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not object to or oppose any such cash collateral usage or debtor-in-possession financing or any sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations free and clear of security interests, liens, or other claims of any Subordinated Party under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the Senior Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition. The Subordinated Lender agrees not to assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of its interest in any Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent; provided that, the Senior Collateral Agent will not object

to any request by the Subordinated Lender for adequate protection replacement liens on all pre-petition and post-petition property of the Debtors upon which the Senior Collateral Agent is also granted adequate protection replacement liens, with such liens in favor of the Subordinated Lender being subject in all respects to this Agreement; provided, further that, other than such replacement liens the Subordinated Lender will not seek any other form of adequate protection. The Subordinated Lender waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Senior Collateral Agent and any Senior Secured Party arising out of the election of any of them of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding. The Subordinated Lender agrees that it and they will not provide, or offer to provide, any debtor-in-possession financing to the Debtors without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent unless any such debtor-in-possession financing will be utilized to Pay in Full the Senior Secured Debt Obligations .

(f) The Subordinated Lender agrees to execute, verify, deliver, and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations reasonably requested by the Senior Collateral Agent in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Senior Collateral Agent to file such proofs of claim upon the failure of the Subordinated Lender to do so by the date that is three (3) Business Days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim; provided, however, that the Senior Collateral Agent shall not be permitted to vote such claim and all voting rights with respect thereto shall be retained by the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees not to vote for any plan of reorganization that does not provide for the Senior Secured Debt Obligations to be Paid in Full or otherwise vote its claims or interests in any Insolvency Proceeding (including voting for, or supporting, confirmation of any plans of reorganization) in a manner that would be inconsistent with the covenants and agreements of the Subordinated Lender contained herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Collateral Agent shall have no affirmative obligation to file any such proof of claim on behalf of the Subordinated Lender.

(g) The Senior Secured Debt Obligations shall continue to be treated as Senior Secured Debt Obligations and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Parties even if all or part of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations or the Liens or security interests securing the Senior Secured Debt Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated, or disallowed in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding. This Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Secured Debt Obligations or any representative of such holder.

(h) Each of the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lender acknowledges and agrees with respect to the Collateral that (i) the grants of Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Senior Secured Debt Documents and the Subordinated Note Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior Secured Debt Obligations and the Subordinated Obligations are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding of the Debtors. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lender in respect of any Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such liquidation or Insolvency Proceeding, before any Distribution from, or in respect of, any such Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the Senior Collateral Agent amounts otherwise received or receivable by it to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, regardless of whether such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Subordinated Lender.

ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous.

Section 9.01 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of the Subordinated Note Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. The Senior Collateral Agent and the Senior Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent of any conflict between Section 5.01 of this Agreement and Section 5.01 of the Participating Counterparties Intercreditor Agreement, Section 5.01 of this Agreement shall control, and neither Senior Collateral Agent nor any Senior Secured Parties shall be deemed to be in breach of Section 5.01 of the Participating Counterparties Intercreditor Agreement to the extent any action taken by the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party complies with Section 5.01 of this Agreement.

Section 9.02 Continuing Subordination; Termination of Agreement. This is a continuing agreement of subordination and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time

Section 9.03 Amendments; Modifications. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by the Senior Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Lender, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; provided, however, that no such amendment shall be effective without the consent of the Debtors to the extent such amendment is adverse to the Debtors or imposes additional obligations or otherwise changes the Debtors’ obligations under this Agreement. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.

Section 9.04 No Subrogation. The Subordinated Lender shall not be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Collateral Agent with respect to receipt of Distributions on account of the Subordinated Obligations unless and until all of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full. For the purposes of such subrogation, no Distributions made to the holders of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations to which the Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for this Agreement, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the Senior Collateral Agent or any other Senior Secured Party by such Subordinated Lender shall, as among the Debtors, their creditors and such Subordinated Lender, be deemed to be a payment by the Debtors to or on account of the Senior Secured Obligations. The Subordinated Lender agrees that in the event that all or any part of a payment made with respect to the Senior Secured Debt Obligations is recovered from the holders of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution received by the Subordinated Lender with respect to the Subordinated Obligations at any time after the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been received by the Subordinated Lender in trust as property of the holders of the Senior Secured Debt Obligations and the Subordinated Lender, as the case may be, shall forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Collateral Agent for application to the Senior Secured Debt Obligations, until the Senior Secured Debt Obligations have been Paid in Full.

Section 9.05 No Impairment. No right of the Senior Secured Parties to enforce the provisions hereof shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act taken in

good faith, or failure to act, which failure to act is in good faith, by the Senior Secured Parties or by any non-compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions and covenants herein. The Subordinated Lender agrees not to take any action to avoid or to seek to avoid the observance and performance of the terms and conditions hereof, and shall at all times in good faith carry out all such terms and conditions.

Section 9.06 Subordinated Obligations Not Affected. The subordination provisions of this Agreement as relates to the Subordinated Obligations relative to the Senior Secured Debt Obligations are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender, on the one hand, and the Senior Secured Parties, on the other hand, as among themselves. Subject to this Agreement, as between the Debtors and the Subordinated Lender, nothing contained herein shall impair the obligation of the Debtors to the Subordinated Lender to pay the Subordinated Obligations as they become due and payable. No Person other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lender and their respective successors and assigns shall have any rights hereunder with respect to such subordination provisions.

Section 9.08 Senior Secured Rights and Remedies. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Senior Secured Parties hereunder (hereinafter, the “Senior Secured Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by any Senior Secured Party in exercising or enforcing any of the Senior Secured Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by any Senior Secured Party of any of the Senior Secured Rights and Remedies or of any default or remedy under any other agreement with the Borrower or any Subordinated Party shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or thereunder. No exercise of the Senior

Secured Rights and Remedies at any time shall preclude any other or further exercise of the Senior Secured Rights and Remedies. No waiver by any Senior Secured Party of any of the Senior Secured Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the Senior Secured Rights and Remedies and all of the Senior Secured Parties’ rights, remedies, powers and privileges under any other agreement with any Subordinated Party and/or the Debtors shall be cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Senior Secured Parties at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Senior Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine.
