Section 5. Subordination in the Event of Insolvency, etc. In
the event and during the continuance of any Proceeding, all Senior
Debt shall first be finally and irrevocably paid in full in cash
before any payment, transfer of any collateral, guarantee of any

and on behalf of the holders of the Subordinate Debt relating to the
Subordinate Debt if they or any of them do not file, and there is
not otherwise filed on behalf of the holders of the Subordinate
Debt, a proper claim or proof of claim in the form required in any
-4-
such Proceeding prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of
the time to file such claim or claims. Subordinate Creditor hereby
further agrees to take any action in connection with any Proceeding
as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by Senior
Creditor in respect of the Subordinate Debt in order to enable the
holders of the Senior Debt to enforce the rights described above in
this Section 5 in any of such Proceedings and to otherwise cooperate
with the holders of the Senior Debt in any manner as shall be
reasonably requested from time to time by the holders of the Senior
Debt in order to enable the holders of the Senior Debt to enforce
the rights described above in this Section 5 in any of such
Proceedings.
Section 6. Standstill. Subordinate Creditor agrees to
promptly send to Senior Creditor a copy of any notice of default
under the Subordinate Debt sent to any Loan Party and further agrees
that Subordinate Creditor shall not exercise any rights or remedies
or take any enforcement action available upon the occurrence of a
default or an event of default or otherwise under the Subordinate
Loan Documents or take any action toward the collection of any
Subordinate Debt until the earliest of (a) the occurrence of a
Proceeding, or (b) all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in
full in cash and all commitments of Senior Creditor to lend under
the Senior Loan Agreement shall have been terminated.
Section 7. Payments Notwithstanding. No payment or
distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other
property to which Subordinate Creditor would have been entitled in
connection with the Subordinate Debt, except as otherwise provided
for under the provisions of this Agreement and that shall have been
made to or for the account of Senior Creditor shall, as between each
Loan Party and its creditors (other than Senior Creditor), be deemed
to be a payment or distribution by such Loan Party to or for the
account of Senior Creditor, and from and after the payment in full
in cash of all Senior Debt and termination of all commitments to
lend of Senior Creditor under the Senior Loan Agreement, Subordinate
Creditor shall be subrogated to all rights of Senior Creditor to
receive any further payments or distribution applicable to the
Senior Debt until the principal of and interest on the Subordinate
Debt shall be paid in full, and no such payment or distribution made
pursuant to such rights of subrogation to Subordinate Creditor that
otherwise would be payable or distributable to or for the account of
Senior Creditor shall, as between each Loan Party and its creditors
(other than Subordinate Creditor), be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by such Loan Party to Subordinate Creditor or on
account of the Subordinate Debt.
Section 8. No Prejudice or Impairment. The provisions of
this Agreement are solely for the purposes of defining the relative
rights of Senior Creditor, on the one hand, and Subordinate
Creditor, on the other hand. Senior Creditor shall not be
prejudiced in the right to enforce subordination of the Subordinate
Debt by any act or failure to act by any Loan Party or anyone in
custody of its assets or property. Nothing herein shall impair, as
between each Loan Party and Subordinate Creditor, the obligation of
such Loan Party to pay to Subordinate Creditor the principal of and
interest on the Subordinate Debt as and when the same shall become
due in accordance with their terms, nor shall anything herein
prevent Subordinate Creditor from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under the Subordinate Loan
Documents, subject, however, to the provisions of this Agreement and
the rights of Senior Creditor to the extent provided herein.
-5-
Section 9. Turnover of Payments. If any payment,
distribution or security, or the proceeds of any thereof, shall be
collected or received by Subordinate Creditor in connection with the
Subordinate Debt in contravention of any of the terms of this
Agreement and prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of
all Senior Debt, the holder thereof will forthwith deliver such
payment, distribution, security or proceeds to Senior Creditor and,
until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such holder
as the property of Senior Creditor.
Section 10. Priorities Regarding Collateral; Management of
Collateral; Limitation of Remedies of Subordinate Creditor as to
Collateral.
(a) Any and every lien and security interest in the
Collateral in favor of or held for the benefit of Senior
Creditor have and shall have priority over any lien or security
interest that Subordinate Creditor now has or may hereafter
acquire in the Collateral, whether by contract, operation or
rule of law or otherwise, notwithstanding any statement or
provision contained in the Subordinate Loan Documents or
otherwise to the contrary and irrespective of the time or order
of filing or recording of financing statements, deeds of trust,
mortgages or other notices of security interests, liens or
assignments granted pursuant thereto, and irrespective of
anything contained in any filing or agreement to which any
party hereto or its respective successors and assigns may now
or hereafter be a party, and irrespective of the ordinary rules
for determining priorities under the UCC or under any other law
governing the relative priorities of secured creditors. At any
time during which all or any part of the Senior Debt remains
outstanding, and whether or not the same is then due and
payable, the Proceeds of any sale, disposition or other
realization by Senior Creditor or (or any agent therefor) upon
all or any part of the Collateral after the occurrence of an
Event of Default that is continuing shall be applied in the
following order of priorities irrespective of the application
of any rule of law or the defect or impairment of any Senior
Loan Document, Subordinate Loan Document or security interest,
lien or assignment thereunder:
first, to the payment of all costs and expenses
of Senior Creditor and/or its agent or
agents (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel and
other agents) incurred in connection with the
collection of such Proceeds or the protection of the
rights and interests of Senior Creditor therein;
second, to the payment in full of all Senior
Debt in the manner provided in the Senior Loan
Documents;
third, to the payment in full of all Subordinate Debt
or to such other parties as their interest
lawfully appears, in such order as Subordinate
Creditor shall determine, in its sole
discretion; and
finally, to pay any surplus then remaining to the owner
of the Collateral or its successors or assigns
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
direct.
-6-
In the event any party to this Agreement receives Proceeds of
the Collateral to which it is not entitled under this Section
10, such party shall be deemed to hold all of such Proceeds in
trust for the benefit party entitled thereto under this Section
10.
(b) Senior Creditor shall have the exclusive right to
manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Senior Loan
Documents with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and
enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its
discretion and the exercise of its business judgment including,
but not limited to, the exclusive right to take or retake
possession of the Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale,
process, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate the Collateral,
pursuant to a foreclosure or otherwise. Even if Subordinate
Creditor is otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 6 hereof to
exercise rights and remedies and take enforcement action with
respect to Borrower, until all Senior Debt is irrevocably paid
in full in cash and all commitments of Senior Creditor to lend
under the Senior Loan Agreement have terminated, Subordinate
Creditor shall not take or attempt to take any action or
exercise or attempt to exercise any rights and remedies against
all or any portion of the Collateral, except to the extent, and
only to the extent, such action is necessary to toll any
applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in any document, instrument or agreement
evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with
the incurrence of the Subordinate Debt, only the Senior
Creditor shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve
or disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition, by
Borrower or otherwise, of Collateral. Should Senior Creditor
elect to exercise their rights and remedies with respect to any
of the Collateral, Senior Creditor may proceed to do so without
regard to any interest of Subordinate Creditor, and Subordinate
Creditor waives any claims that it may have against Senior
Creditor for any disposition of the Collateral.
(c) Subordinate Creditor shall not contest (and hereby
waives any right to contest) or support any other person or
entity in contesting, in any action or Proceeding or otherwise,
the priority, validity or enforceability of any liens or
security interests of Senior Creditor in the Collateral or of
any claims made by the holders of the Senior Debt pursuant to
the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.
Section 11. Benefit of Agreement; Amendments of Certain
Documents; etc. This Agreement shall constitute a continuing offer
to all persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become a
Senior Creditor, and such provisions are made for the benefit of
Senior Creditor and Senior Creditor may enforce such provisions.
Subordinate Creditor shall not amend the payment, prepayment or
interest rate provisions of the Subordinate Debt nor amend any of
the covenants or events of default thereunder in a manner more
restrictive on or to Borrower nor amend or modify the provisions of
the Subordinate Loan Documents in any respect which adversely
affects Senior Creditor or violates the terms of the Senior Loan
Agreement as such document is in effect on the date hereof, without
the prior written consent of all holders of Senior Debt so affected.
Neither Senior Creditor nor Subordinate Creditor shall have any
obligation to preserve rights in the Collateral against any prior
parties or to marshal any of the Collateral for the benefit of any
person or entity. No failure to exercise, and no delay in
exercising on the part of any party hereto, any right, power or
-7-
privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are
cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law. Any agreements, documents or instruments which at
any time evidence the Subordinate Debt or any part thereof shall be
marked with a legend stating that payment hereunder is subject to
the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Subordinate Creditor
hereby consents to the execution and delivery of the Senior Loan
Documents and agrees that the performance (including, without
limitation, the making of future borrowings and the granting by
Borrower to Senior Creditor a mortgage, which shall be senior in
priority to the Subordinate Mortgage) by Borrower of its obligations
under the Senior Loan Documents will not constitute a default or an
event of default under the Subordinate Loan Documents. The
Subordinate Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the Senior
Creditor has relied upon the subordination and consent provided for
herein in entering in to the Senior Loan Documents and in providing
for the credit facilities described therein.
Section 12. Representations and Warranties. Each of the
parties hereto hereby represents and warrants that (a) it has full
power, authority and legal right to make and perform this Agreement,
and (b) this Agreement is its legal, valid and binding obligation,
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
Section 13. Amendment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the
terms hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated unless
such amendment, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing
signed by Senior Creditor and Subordinate Creditor.
Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, and the
terms, covenants and conditions hereof, shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective
successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have any
right, benefit, priority or other interest under, or because of the
existence of, this Agreement.
Section 15. Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed
in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of Texas.
Section 16. Notices. Whenever it is provided herein that any
notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other
communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the
parties by another, or whenever any of the parties desires to give
or serve upon another any such communication with respect to this
Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval,
