Lien Priorities.
|
2.1.Relative Priorities.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision in the Prestige Debt Documents to the contrary or the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Prestige Liens or New Lender Liens and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law to the contrary, until the New Lender Debt has been paid in full in cash, the Credit Parties agree that they shall not grant (and Prestige shall not accept) any Liens on any Collateral of any Credit Party, other than the Parent Collateral. In the event any Credit Party, in contravention of the foregoing, grants a Lien to Prestige on any Collateral of any Credit Party, other than the Parent Collateral, then, without limiting, any rights or remedies of the New Lenders and Agent, such Liens shall be subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the Liens of the New Lenders and Agent in such Collateral, regardless of the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any such Liens and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law to the contrary, and Prestige shall promptly execute and deliver to Agent such termination statements and releases as Agent shall reasonably request to effect the release of such Liens. In furtherance of the foregoing, Prestige shall cause to be filed with the Delaware Department of State an amended UCC financing statement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and shall promptly furnish to Agent a filed copy.
3
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in the New Lender Debt Documents to the contrary or the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any New Lender Liens or Prestige Liens and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law to the contrary, until the Prestige Debt has been paid in full in cash, the New Lenders’ and Agent’s Lien on the Parent Collateral shall be and hereby is subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the Liens of Prestige in the Parent Collateral regardless of the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any such Liens and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law to the contrary.
(c) Furthermore, until the Prestige Debt has been paid in full, the New Lenders and Agent shall not enforce their security interest in any of the Parent Collateral except with the written consent of Prestige, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that the foregoing shall not prevent New Lenders and Agent from recovering proceeds from any liquidation of Parent Collateral remaining after payment in full of the Prestige Debt.
2.2. Perfection. The New Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and Prestige, on the other hand, shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of their Liens in the Collateral of the Credit Parties or the Parent Collateral, respectively. The foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the priorities of the Liens as among the Lenders and Agent shall not impose on any Lender or Agent any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Collateral of any Credit Party that would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
2.3. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The New Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and Prestige, on the other hand, agree that they shall not (and hereby waive any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Lien held by Prestige in the Parent Collateral or by any New Lender or Agent in the Collateral of any Credit Party, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the foregoing, shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Lender or Agent to enforce this Agreement.
2.4. Exercise of Collateral Remedies. Until the payment in full of the New Lender Debt, the New Lenders and Agent shall have, and until the payment in full of the Prestige Debt, Prestige shall have, in each case, the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral of any Credit Party (in the case of New Lenders and the Agent) or the Parent Collateral (in the case of Prestige) without any consultation with or the consent of Prestige (in the case of the New Lenders and Agent) or any of the New Lenders or Agent (in the case of Prestige).
4
2.5. Agreement to Release Liens. In the event that Prestige releases or agrees to release any of its Liens in any Parent Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof or any such Parent Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, Agent and each New Lender shall promptly execute and deliver such termination statements and releases as Prestige shall reasonably request to effect the release of the Liens of New Lenders and Agent in such Parent Collateral.
2.6. Sale, Transfer or other Disposition of Prestige Debt or New Lender Debt.
(a) Neither Prestige, on the one hand, nor any New Lender or Agent, on the other hand shall sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Prestige Debt (or any Prestige Debt Document) or New Lender Debt (or any New Lender Debt Document), as applicable, unless such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the applicable terms of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the intercreditor arrangements effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Prestige Debt or New Lender Debt in violation of the foregoing prohibition, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the applicable Lender or Agent, as the case may be.
2.7. Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 14 hereof, Prestige, will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of the Prestige Debt Documents, the following legend:
“This instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are subject to that certain Intercreditor Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) dated as of October 29, 2012 among Prestige Capital Corporation, Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III, LP, individually and as agent, Praesidian Capital Opportunity Fund III-A, LP, Plexus Fund II, LP, Fusion NBS Acquisition Corp., Fusion Telecommunications International, Inc. (“Parent”), and each subsidiary of Parent from time to time party hereto, as such Intercreditor Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.”

Modifications.

3.1. Modifications to Prestige Documents. Prestige may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to New Lenders or Agent, without incurring liability to New Lenders or Agent and without impairing or releasing the obligations of New Lenders or Agent under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or otherwise alter any of the terms of the Prestige Debt, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Prestige Debt, provided however that the maximum principal amount of the Prestige Debt shall not exceed $3,000,000.
3.2. Modifications to New Lender Debt Documents. New Lenders and agent may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Prestige, without incurring liability to Prestige and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Prestige under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or otherwise alter any of the terms of the New Lender Debt, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the New Lender Debt.

Waiver of Certain Rights by Lenders.
|
4.1. Marshaling. Each Lender hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling.

Each New Lender and Agent, hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing Prestige from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Parent Collateral. Prestige, 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 New Lenders and Agent from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral of the Credit Parties. Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) each New Lender and Agent hereby agree that they have no right to direct or object to the manner in which Prestige applies the proceeds of the Parent Collateral resulting from the exercise by Prestige of rights and remedies under the Prestige Debt Documents to the Prestige Debt, and (b) Prestige hereby agrees (i) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which New Lenders and Agent apply the proceeds of the Collateral of the Credit Parties resulting from the exercise by New Lenders and Agent of rights and remedies under the New Lender Debt Documents to the New Lender Debt and (ii) that Agent has not assumed any obligation to act as the agent for Prestige with respect to any of the Collateral of the Credit Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the foregoing, shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Lender or Agent to enforce this Agreement.
