In order to effectuate the foregoing, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Exchange Offering Noteholders, has heretofore delivered or concurrently with the delivery hereof is delivering to NW Capital, the original Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the original of the Exchange Offering Indenture Note endorsed in blank, and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, represents and warrants, and by acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have represented and warranted, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, that the original Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the original Exchange Offering Indenture Note delivered to NW Capital as security herein is each the original execution version of such document. If any payment, distribution or security of any character (whether in cash, securities or other property) shall be received by any of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholder out of or in connection with the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture or the Exchange Offering Indenture Note before all of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder shall have been unconditionally paid in full, such payment, distribution or security, as applicable, shall (i) if received by the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, not be commingled with any asset of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be delivered over or immediately delivered and transferred to, NW Capital or its representative, for application to the unconditional payment of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder shall have been unconditionally paid in full, and (ii) if received by any Exchange Offering Noteholder, become Reimbursable Expenditures; provided, however, in furtherance of Section 4(a) of this Agreement, NW Capital hereby grants to the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee a revocable license to receive and apply regularly scheduled payments due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, so long as, at the time of both the receipt and the application of such payments, no Blocking Event has occurred and is continuing. The terms of Exhibits C, D and E are incorporated herein as if fully set forth herein.
(d) Upon the occurrence of a Default Event, the license granted to the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee in Section 4(c) of this Agreement shall automatically be revoked.
(i) NW Capital shall deliver notice (which may be via facsimile or email) to the Cash Management Agent and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee of such Default Event, after which (a) all amounts required to be paid under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note), shall, pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement, be directed by NW Capital to be held by the Cash Management Agent in trust for the benefit of NW Capital, and (b) in the event the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee has received, but has not yet distributed to the Exchange Offering Noteholders, a payment under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note), and written notice is received from NW Capital prior to 12 noon, New York City time on the date of such payment, then Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall immediately transmit such amounts to the Cash Management Agent to be held by the Cash Management Agent in the trust established pursuant to the immediately preceding subclause (a), and, until such transmission, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of NW Capital.
11
Exhibit T3C-3
(ii) NW Capital shall, within one hundred eighty (180) days of the Default Event, deliver written notice (which may be via facsimile or email) to the Cash Management Agent and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, setting forth in such written notice NW Capital’s reasonable estimate (the “NW Capital Estimate”) of all losses, costs, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that NW Capital and/or any Indemnified Party may sustain as a result of the Default Event (the “Potential Default Event Costs”). Upon receipt by the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee of the NW Capital Estimate, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall promptly engage, at the cost and expense of the Borrower, a Qualified Appraiser to separately calculate the estimate of the Potential Default Event Costs (the “Qualified Appraiser Estimate”); provided, that, to be eligible, the Qualified Appraiser selected shall agree to the following terms: (x) the determination with respect to the Qualified Appraiser Estimate will be made in a period of no more than thirty (30) days from the date of execution of the engagement letter, (y) the fee for such determination will be no greater than Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000), and (z) all of the Qualified Appraiser’s fees shall be paid upon the Qualified Appraiser’s demand by the Borrower. In the event that no Qualified Appraiser is able to meet the foregoing terms, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee will promptly request that NW Capital provide a list to the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee of other third party appraisers acceptable to NW Capital; provided, however, if such appraisers are unable to meet the abovementioned terms by failing to agree to the engagement, then the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee will have no further obligation to secure an appraiser for the Qualified Appraiser Estimate, in which event the NW Capital Estimate shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust. The Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall not be required to respond to inquiries from the Qualified Appraiser with respect to its calculations; provided, however, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall (x) deliver to the Qualified Appraiser copies of written documents that the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee has received from the Borrower and/or NW Capital relating to such Default Event, and (y) forward to NW Capital any requests made by the Qualified Appraiser for information regarding such Default Event; provided, further, NW Capital shall be under no obligation to respond to any such information request. The Qualified Appraiser engaged hereunder and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to such Qualified Appraiser’s engagement or report issued in connection with such engagement and the dissemination of any such report is subject to the consent of such Qualified Appraiser. Upon the receipt of the Qualified Appraiser Estimate from the Qualified Appraiser, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall deliver written notice to NW Capital and the Cash Management Agent of the Qualified Appraiser’s determination.
(iii) In the event that the Qualified Appraiser Estimate is within twenty percent (20%) of the NW Capital Estimate, then the quotient of (x) the sum of the Qualified Appraiser Estimate plus the NW Capital Estimate, divided by (y) two (2) (such quotient, the “Average Estimate”), shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust. In the event that the Qualified Appraiser Estimate is less than eighty percent (80%) of the NW Capital Estimate, then the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall promptly seek to engage a second Qualified Appraiser (the “Second Qualified Appraiser”) to separately calculate the estimate of the Potential Noteholder Event Costs (the “Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate”); provided, that, to be eligible, the Qualified Appraiser selected shall agree to the following terms: (x) the determination with respect to the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate will be made in a period of no more than thirty (30) days from the date of execution of the engagement letter, (y) the fee for such determination will be no greater than Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000), and (z) all of the Second Qualified Appraiser’s fees shall be paid upon the Second Qualified
12
Exhibit T3C-3
Appraiser’s demand by the Borrower. In the event that no Qualified Appraiser is able to meet the foregoing terms, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee will promptly request that NW Capital provide a list to the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee of other third party appraisers acceptable to NW Capital; provided, however, if such appraisers are unable to meet the abovementioned terms by failing to agree to the engagement, then the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee will have no further obligation to secure an appraiser for the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate, in which event the NW Capital Estimate shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust. The Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall not be required to respond to inquiries from the Second Qualified Appraiser with respect to its calculations; provided, however, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall (x) deliver to the Qualified Appraiser copies of written documents that the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee has received from the Borrower and/or NW Capital relating to such Default Event, and (y) forward to NW Capital any requests made by the Second Qualified Appraiser for information regarding such Default Event; provided, further, NW Capital shall be under no obligation to respond to any such information request. The Second Qualified Appraiser engaged hereunder and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any claims, liabilities or expenses relating to such Qualified Appraiser’s engagement or report issued in connection with such engagement and the dissemination of any such report is subject to the consent of such Qualified Appraiser. Upon the receipt of the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate from the Second Qualified Appraiser, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall deliver written notice to NW Capital and the Cash Management Agent of the Second Qualified Appraiser’s determination. In the event that the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate is an amount that is between the Qualified Appraiser Estimate and the NW Capital Estimate, then the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust. In the event that the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate is an amount that is less than the Qualified Appraiser Estimate, then the Average Estimate shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust. In the event that the Second Qualified Appraiser Estimate is an amount that is greater than the NW Capital Estimate, then the NW Capital Estimate shall be deemed the Applicable Estimate for purposes of calculating the Holdback Amount in Section 4(d)(iv), and the Cash Management Agent shall continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until the Holdback Amount has been deposited into such trust.
(iv) Until the determination of the Applicable Estimate, NW Capital shall direct the Cash Management Agent to continue to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note), in trust for the benefit of NW Capital. Upon the determination of the Applicable Estimate, then NW Capital shall instruct the Cash Management Agent to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note), in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until such time as an amount equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Estimate multiplied by (b) one hundred fifty percent (150%) (such product, the “Holdback Amount”) has been deposited into such trust. At all times after the occurrence of a Default Event and, until such time as all losses, costs, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that NW Capital and/or any Indemnified Party actually sustain (the “Actual Default Event Costs”) have been funded by amounts in the
13
Exhibit T3C-3
trust established as a result of the Default Event, NW Capital may direct Cash Management Agent to make a distribution of any and all amounts in such trust for the payment of such Actual Default Event Costs.
(v) Once the Holdback Amount is fully funded into trust for the benefit of NW Capital, and so long as no Blocking Event has occurred and is continuing, then the license revoked pursuant to this Section 4(d) shall be reinstated until the occurrence of a subsequent Blocking Event.
(vi) In the event of a Deficiency Event, then (a) the license reinstated in this Section 4(d) shall automatically be revoked, (b) NW Capital shall determine the Deficiency Amount, in its reasonable discretion, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Deficiency Event, (c) NW Capital shall direct the Cash Management Agent to hold all future payments under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note) in trust for the benefit of NW Capital until such time as an amount equal to the Deficiency Amount is deposited into such trust, (d) in the event the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee has received, but has not yet distributed to the Exchange Offering Noteholders, a payment under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including, without limitation, regularly scheduled payments of Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note), then Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall immediately transmit such amounts to the Cash Management Agent to be held by the Cash Management Agent in the trust established pursuant to the immediately preceding subclause (c), and, until such transmission, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of NW Capital, and (e) until fully funded, if the Deficiency Amount is being funded due to a Deficiency Event arising under subclause (ii) of the definition of such term, then the Deficiency Amount shall (x) accrue interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (1) the maximum interest permitted by applicable law, and (2) seventeen percent (17%) per annum, and (y) be part of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding the Assignment by Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf the Exchange Offering Noteholders, of the Subordinate Collateral hereunder, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall remain obligated to perform all of the obligations undertaken by such party under the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, subject to the limitations and conditions set forth herein, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and NW Capital shall have no obligation or liability under the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the Exchange Offering Indenture Note by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or any other document related thereto, nor shall NW Capital be required or obligated in any manner to perform, observe, comply with or fulfill any obligations or requirements of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and/or the Exchange Offering Noteholders thereunder or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or present or file any claim, or, except as expressly set forth in Section 11, take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or enforce any obligation of Borrower which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement and all of the Subordinate Collateral secure the unconditional payment and performance when due of all Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder.
(f) If a commencement, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any case, proceeding or other action against Borrower and/or any Borrower Subsidiary under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors shall have occurred without the express prior written consent of NW Capital (as to any Borrower Entity, a "Proceeding") or there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default under the Senior Documents, NW Capital shall be entitled to receive unconditional payment and performance in full of all amounts due or to become due to NW Capital, Rights Offering Indenture Trustee or any Rights Offering Noteholder before any Exchange Offering Noteholder is entitled to receive any payment on account of the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture
14
Exhibit T3C-3
and the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, including without limitation any Interest otherwise payable in respect of the Exchange Offering Indenture Note. If this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 7 of Exhibit E, then, in the event any of NW Capital, the Rights Offering Indenture Trustee or any Rights Offering Noteholder is required under any bankruptcy or other law to return to any Borrower Entity, the estate in bankruptcy thereof, any third party or any trustee, receiver or other similar representative of such Borrower Entity any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property, in kind or securities, including, without limitation, any Property or any proceeds of the Property previously received by NW Capital or any Rights Offering Noteholder on account of the obligations arising under the Senior Documents (a “Reinstatement Distribution”), then to the maximum extent permitted by law, this Agreement and the subordination of the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the Exchange Offering Indenture Note shall be deemed to be and have remained in full force and effect and/or reinstated with respect to any such Reinstatement Distribution. None of NW Capital, the Rights Offering Indenture Trustee or any Rights Offering Noteholder shall be required to contest its obligation to return such Reinstatement Distribution.
(g) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture and the Exchange Offering Indenture Note which are received by Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and/or any Exchange Offering Noteholder contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any amounts which are in excess of the distributable share of the regularly scheduled Interest (as defined in the Exchange Offering Indenture Note) payments to the Exchange Offering Noteholders under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, shall (i) if received by the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be delivered over or immediately delivered and transferred to, NW Capital or its representative, for application to the unconditional payment of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Obligations and the obligations arising hereunder shall have been unconditionally paid in full, and (ii) if received by any Exchange Offering Noteholder, become Reimbursable Expenditures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NW Capital shall have the right to utilize such amounts for the unconditional payment or performance of the Loan, the Rights Offering Indenture and the Rights Offering Indenture Note in accordance with the terms of the Senior Documents prior to the application to any future payments due to the applicable Interest Holder hereunder.
(h) Until such time as the Loan, the Preferred Equity Shares and the Rights Offering Indenture Note shall have been unconditionally paid in full, together with any and all other amounts which shall be due and payable under the terms of the Senior Documents and this Agreement, none of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholder shall take any of the following actions with respect to the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture or any obligations of Borrower arising thereunder without the prior written consent of NW Capital:
(i) Consent to any amendment or modification of the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture or any obligations of Borrower arising thereunder;

5. Rights of Subrogation; Bankruptcy.
(a) No payment or distribution to NW Capital, Rights Offering Indenture Trustee or any Rights Offering Indenture Noteholder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholder to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof prior to the unconditional payment and performance in full of all of the obligations of Borrower and/or any Borrower Subsidiary arising under the Senior Documents.
(b) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee agrees that, prior to the unconditional payment and performance in full of all of the obligations of Borrower and/or any Borrower Subsidiary arising under the Senior Documents, neither Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee nor any Exchange Offering Noteholder shall acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any lien, estate, right or other interest in any portion of any property owned by Borrower or any Borrower Subsidiary or any other collateral now securing the Loan or the Rights Offering Indenture Note or the proceeds therefrom.
(c) Prior to the unconditional payment and performance in full of all of the obligations of Borrower and any each Borrower Subsidiary arising under the Senior Documents, if Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholder is deemed to be a creditor of any Borrower Entity in any Proceeding, then, other than the filing of proofs of claims in such Proceeding to the extent expressly required under Section 317(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, (i) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that neither it nor any Exchange Offering Noteholder shall make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any Proceeding by or against any Borrower Entity without the prior written consent of NW Capital, which may be granted, conditioned or denied in its sole discretion, (ii) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall take such actions as NW Capital may reasonably request, and (iii) neither Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee nor any Exchange Offering Noteholder shall challenge the validity or amount of any claim submitted in such Proceeding by NW Capital in good faith or any valuations of any property owned by any Borrower Entity or other collateral for the Loan and the Rights Offering Indenture Note submitted by NW Capital in good faith, in such Proceeding or take any other action in such Proceeding, which is adverse to NW Capital's enforcement of its claim or receipt of adequate protection (as that term is defined in the Bankruptcy Code).

6. Actions of NW Capital, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and Exchange Offering Noteholders.
(a) The Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, hereby waives, and by acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have waived, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, any and all claims, causes of action, demands, counterclaims and damages against NW Capital in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by NW Capital in respect of the Loan, the Rights Offering Indenture Note, the Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary and/or any property owned by any Borrower Entity. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, any and all action taken by any Exchange Offering Noteholder and/or the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee in respect of or relating to the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, the Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary and/or any property owned by any Borrower Entity shall be treated as invalid unless such action is taken pursuant to, and in accordance with, the express terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee agrees, and by acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, that any and all Damages of NW Capital resulting from any Default Event shall become Reimbursable Expenditures. NW Capital shall, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, be entitled to rely upon any document referred to in Section 2(d)(vi) and advice of counsel selected by it (and NW Capital shall be entitled to reimbursement for the fees of any such counsel); provided that the foregoing shall not create or imply any right of consent or approval or right to notice on the part of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee. NW Capital may execute, delegate or contract any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects, unless NW Capital has been grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct in connection with selecting such third party. Notwithstanding any term to the contrary contained herein, the respective rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement shall, in all events, be governed by the terms of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and any other agreement to which the parties hereto are a party, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(b) Notices of Default. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall, upon either (x) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee’s actual receipt of written notice of a default by Borrower under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, or (y) the occurrence of a monetary payment default under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, promptly give NW Capital a copy of any default notice received in connection with the Exchange Offering Indenture; provided, however, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall not (i) take any actions set forth in Section 4(h) until such time as the Senior Obligations shall have been unconditionally paid in full, together with any and all other amounts which shall be due and payable under the terms of the Senior Documents and this Agreement, and (ii) take any actions set forth in Sections 4(i)(i) or (ii) of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (x) such time as the Senior Obligations shall have been unconditionally paid in full, together with any and all other amounts which shall be due and payable under the terms of the Senior Documents and this Agreement, and (y) the date that is 365 days after the date upon which a default has occurred and is then continuing under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture or any obligations of Borrower arising thereunder.
7. Limitation on Liability; Injunction.
(a) None of any Interest Holder, NW Capital or Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall have any liability to any other Interest Holder with respect to this Agreement except, (i) in the case of the liability of an Interest Holder other than the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, with respect to acts or omissions caused by or resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement
17
Exhibit T3C-3
on the part of any such Interest Holder; and/or (ii) in the case of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee’s liability, with respect to acts or omissions resulting from the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee.
(b) NW Capital and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, each acknowledge, and by acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have acknowledged, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, (and the Exchange Offering Noteholders shall be deemed to have waived any defense based on a claim) that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy to redress a breach by Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and/or any Exchange Offering Noteholder hereunder and that a breach by Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and/or any Exchange Offering Noteholder hereunder would cause irreparable harm to NW Capital. Accordingly, NW Capital and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee agree that upon a breach of this Agreement by Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and/or any Exchange Offering Noteholder, all remedies available at law and equity, including, without limitation, injunction, declaratory judgment and specific performance, shall be available to NW Capital.
8. No Creation of Partnership. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute among any Interest Holder, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and NW Capital, a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity, nor shall it create a relationship of principal and agent among any of the foregoing.
9. Transfers of Interests.
(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Exchange Offering Indenture Note and the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture, each Exchange Offering Noteholder may Transfer all or any portion of its respective Interest Holder Interest to another Class Member (as defined in Exchange Offering Trust Indenture).
(b) In the event of a Transfer permitted hereunder by an Exchange Offering Noteholder, the transferor shall assign, and the transferee shall assume, all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of all of the obligations of such Interest Holder hereunder and the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture with respect to its Interest Holder Interest.
(c) Each of NW Capital and the Rights Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Rights Offering Noteholders, shall have the right at any time, and in its sole and absolute discretion, to Transfer all or any portion of the Loan, the Rights Offering Indenture Note and/or the Underlying Assets (or, after the occurrence of a Collateral Realization Event, any collateral for the Loan and the Rights Offering Indenture Note owned by any such party), directly or indirectly, to any Person, directly or indirectly, without the consent of any Interest Holder and free and clear of any claims of any Interest Holder, and any transferee shall succeed to all of the rights and obligations of NW Capital, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Rights Offering Indenture Trustee and Rights Offering Noteholders, under this Agreement.
10. Sharing of Losses; Shared Litigation.
(a) The Exchange Offering Noteholders (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”), jointly and severally, shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless NW Capital, its affiliates, members, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives of the foregoing, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), for such Interest Holder’s Share of any Reimbursable Expenditures (other than Reimbursable Expenditures arising from a Protective Advance that is not caused

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event resulting from an event described in either subclause (i) or (iii) of the definition of “Trigger Event”, and, thereafter, the indefeasible and final foreclosure of the Subordinate Collateral, NW Capital agrees that it shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to seek to engage a Delegate to perform the obligations of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee pursuant to and in accordance with the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture. If required by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Delegate shall be required to be qualified under and be subject to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Upon the occurrence of such a Trigger Event as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, and, thereafter, the indefeasible and final foreclosure of the Subordinate Collateral, and the appointment of a Delegate as aforesaid, (x) prior to the occurrence of any default of any Borrower Entity under the Senior Loan Documents or the Senior Obligations and the acceleration by NW Capital of the Senior Obligations, such Delegate shall remit all amounts due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture in the following order: (1) first, to NW Capital, in an amount equal to all losses, costs, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees, and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses that NW Capital and/or any Indemnified Party may sustain as a result of such Trigger Event, and (2) second, any remaining amounts to the Exchange Offering Noteholders existing prior to the foreclosure; and (y) upon the occurrence of any default of any Borrower Entity under the Senior Loan Documents or the Senior Obligations and the acceleration by NW Capital of the Senior Obligations, such Delegate shall remit all amounts due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture in the following order: (1) first, to NW Capital, in an amount sufficient to indefeasibly satisfy in full the Senior Obligations, and (2) second, any remaining amounts to the former Exchange Offering Noteholders. The Exchange Offering Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of an event described in (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Exchange Offering Noteholders’ interest in any portion of the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes shall be, at all times, completely contingent upon (x) the payment in full of the Senior Obligations and (y) the existence of any excess proceeds recovered under a claim by the Delegate against the Borrower for the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes after the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Obligations.
(c) All reasonable costs of providing insurance in favor of NW Capital and the Delegate for NW Capital’s engagement of the Delegate, and the Delegate’s performance of its obligations pursuant to and in accordance with the Engagement Agreement (as hereinafter defined), shall be provided for by the

Exhibit T3C-3
Exchange Offering Noteholders for the entire term of the Engagement Agreement; provided, that, such amounts to be funded by the Exchange Offering Noteholders for such insurance coverage shall only be funded as a reimbursement to the party purchasing such insurance and such reimbursement obligations shall only be funded from any recovery and be limited to an amount that is equal to the product of (i) the percentage of the recovery allocable to the Exchange Offering Noteholders, multiplied by (ii) the reasonable cost of such insurance.
(d) The Exchange Offering Noteholders shall indemnify the Delegate (or any officer, director or employee of the Delegate) and hold each of them harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Delegate or such officers, directors and employees, as the case may be, and arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the obligations of the Delegate under the Engagement Agreement, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by any Exchange Offering Noteholder or any other Person) of liability, but only to the extent of any funds recovered by the Delegate that are allocable to the Exchange Offering Noteholders.

21
Exhibit T3C-3
actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Delegate, and (ii) the Delegate be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the terms of such Engagement Agreement.

In connection with such waiver, the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, covenants and agrees, and by acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, that no such party shall commence any action, cause of action, suit, claim, or demand whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, whether direct or indirect, against NW Capital challenging the priority of the Senior Obligations.
(m) The Engagement Agreement shall provide for the express waiver by the Delegate of any and all claims it may have to challenge the priority of the Senior Obligations and the subordinate nature of the Subordinate Collateral, including, without limitation, any claims of equitable subordination. In connection with such waiver, the Delegate shall covenant and agree that the Delegate shall not commence any action, cause of action, suit, claim, or demand whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, whether direct or indirect, against NW Capital challenging the priority of the Senior Obligations.
(n) The provisions of this Section 11 are intended to be for the benefit of any Delegate as a third party beneficiary, and are intended to be enforceable by any such Delegate in its capacity as a third party beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, the rights and obligations of the Delegate are subject to any applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act.

By acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder, agrees that none of the Exchange Offering Noteholders shall have any right, acting individually outside of the scope of this Agreement, to take any action with respect to the Exchange Offering Indenture Note against any combination of NW Capital, the Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any property owned by any Borrower Entity. By acquiring the Exchange Offering Indenture Notes, each Exchange Offering Noteholder shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, that Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents as NW Capital may reasonably require to evidence such constraint with respect to the rights described in the preceding sentence. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee further acknowledges that any claim any Exchange Offering Noteholder may have under the Exchange Offering Indenture Note or against the Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any property owned by any Borrower Entity in any bankruptcy action with respect to such Exchange Offering Noteholder’s Interest Holder Interest constitutes a single claim which is not separate and apart from any claim held by others with respect to the other Interest Holder Interests and in no event shall any Exchange Offering Noteholder seek to file a separate claim in any bankruptcy case involving the Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any property owned by any Borrower Entity. None of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholders shall have a right to declare a default under the Exchange Offering Trust Indenture or the Exchange Offering Indenture Note, except as expressly permitted by Section 4(i)(i).
13. No Pledge by NW Capital. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in the Loan or any Underlying Asset by NW Capital to Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any Exchange Offering Noteholder. It is the intent of the parties hereto that each Interest Holder be deemed
22
Exhibit T3C-3
the equitable owner of the Interest Holder Interest to the extent of such Interest Holder’s Interest Holder Interest, and that each Interest Holder (in its capacity as such) retain only legal title to such Interest Holder Interest.

Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Subsidiary shall have the right of withdrawal with respect to the IMH Collection Account except with the prior written consent of Agent. Cash Management Agent shall have the
LEGAL_US_E # 92369237.14
-16-
Exhibit T3C-3
obligation to comply with the instructions originated by Agent hereunder or in any other writing furnished by Agent with respect to the disposition of funds in the IMH Collection Account without the further consent of Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any other Person, subject to concurrent written notice to Borrower; provided, that, Agent’s failure to deliver such concurrent written notice to Borrower shall not vitiate Cash Management Agent’s obligation to comply with the written instructions originated by Agent to the extent consistent with this Agreement. Cash Management Agent shall comply with all “entitlement orders” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) and instructions originated by Agent directing transfer or redemptions of any financial asset relating to the IMH Collection Account without further consent by Borrower, any Borrower Subsidiary or any other Person.
Section 4.2 IMH Collection Account Balance. Agent shall undertake reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with an electronic screen-in for purposes of reviewing the activity in the IMH Collection Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to request from Cash Management Agent the balance of the IMH Collection Account for the purpose of ascertaining the amount on deposit in the IMH Collection Account and Cash Management Agent shall promptly respond thereto in writing; provided, however, Borrower’s failure to so obtain the balance of the IMH Collection Account from Cash Management Agent shall in no way affect Borrower’s obligations to Agent for payment or other obligations due under the Loan Agreement and the Trust Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower acknowledges that Borrower is responsible for monitoring the sufficiency of funds deposited in the IMH Collection Account and that Borrower is liable for any deficiency in available funds, irrespective of whether Borrower has received any account statement, notice or demand from Agent or Cash Management Agent.

(iii) the IMH Collection Account, all securities entitlements with respect thereto, and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in the IMH Collection Account, including, without limitation, all deposits or wire transfers made to the IMH Collection Account;

(vi) to the extent not covered by clauses (i) or (ii) above, all “proceeds” (as defined under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”)) of any or all of the foregoing.
(b) Agent and Cash Management Agent, as agent for Agent, shall have with respect to the Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies herein set forth, all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.
Section 5.2 Rights on Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) Agent may (or Agent may direct Cash Management Agent in writing to) liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in the Permitted Investments to the IMH Collection Account or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Agent may reasonably determine are necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Cash Management Agent, as agent for Agent, or Agent to exercise and enforce Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral, and (c) Agent may apply any Collateral to any Obligations in such order of priority as Agent may determine. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Cash Management Agent shall have a reasonable opportunity to act after receipt of notice of an Event of Default, which shall be defined as reasonably promptly, but not less than two (2) Business Days following receipt of such notice.
Section 5.3 Financing Statement; Further Assurances. Simultaneously herewith, Borrower shall deliver to Agent for filing a financing statement or statements in connection with the Collateral in the form required by Agent to properly perfect Agent’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, upon the written request of Cash Management Agent, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Cash Management Agent or Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any

security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Cash Management Agent or Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
Section 5.4 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect from the date hereof and shall continue after the Conversion of the Loan as more particularly described in Article 10 of the Loan Agreement, until such time as the all obligations arising under the Certificate of Designation shall be performed and paid in full by Borrower. Upon payment and performance in full of such obligations arising under the Certificate of Designation, this Agreement shall terminate and Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and Cash Management Agent and/or Agent shall execute such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such termination and the release of the lien hereof.
ARTICLE VI
RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF AGENT AND CASH MANAGEMENT AGENT
Section 6.1 Reasonable Care. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein, neither Cash Management Agent nor Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. Cash Management Agent and Agent each shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Cash Management Agent or Agent accords its own property, it being understood that Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Cash Management Agent or Agent, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Cash Management Agent’s or Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided that nothing in this Article VI shall be deemed to relieve Cash Management Agent from the duties and standard of care which, as a commercial bank, it generally owes to depositors. Neither Agent nor Cash Management Agent shall have any liability for any loss resulting from the investment of funds in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.1.
Section 6.2 Indemnity. Cash Management Agent, in its capacity as agent hereunder, shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no duty shall be implied from any provision hereof. Cash Management Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve it in expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Cash Management Agent shall not be liable or responsible to Agent, Borrower or any other person or entity for any act or failure to act of Agent or its agents, except as set forth in Section 6.1. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Cash Management Agent and Agent, their respective employees and officers harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable and actually incurred attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Cash Management

Exhibit T3C-3
Agent or Agent in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the IMH Collection Account, and Items (as defined in Section 6.6 herein), except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Cash Management Agent’s or Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 6.1 Reliance. Cash Management Agent shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by it to be genuine, and it may be assumed that any person purporting to act on behalf of any Person giving any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Cash Management Agent may consult with counsel, and the written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith, except in the event of Cash Management Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Cash Management Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission done or omitted to be done by Cash Management Agent in reliance upon any instruction, direction or certification received by Cash Management Agent and without gross negligence or willful or reckless misconduct. Cash Management Agent shall not be liable or responsible for consequential, incidental or special damages, even if Cash Management Agent has been advised of the possibility of same. Cash Management Agent shall not be deemed to have any knowledge (imputed or otherwise) of: (a) any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement (other than with respect to terms defined in the Loan Agreement and used in this Agreement) or any document referred to therein or relating to any financing arrangement between the Borrower and the Agent, or any breach thereof, or (b) any occurrence or existence of a default unless notified of such default by Agent in a writing, together with a concurrent written notice to Borrower. Cash Management Agent has no obligation to inform any person of such breach or to take any action in connection with any of the foregoing, except such actions regarding the IMH Collection Account and otherwise as are specified in this Agreement. The provisions of Cash Management Agent’s commercial account or treasury management services agreement and applicable service terms are incorporated except to the extent inconsistent.
Section 6.2 Resignation of Cash Management Agent. Cash Management Agent shall have the right to resign as Cash Management Agent and as deposit bank and securities intermediary with respect to the IMH Collection Account hereunder upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Agent, and in the event of such resignation, Borrower shall appoint a successor Cash Management Agent which must be an Eligible Institution satisfactory in all respects to Agent.

Exhibit T3C-3
establish in its name, as secured party, cash collateral accounts, which shall become the IMH Collection Account for purposes of this Agreement upon the succession of such Cash Management Agent.

Subject to the first sentence hereof, the foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest. If Borrower fails to perform any agreement herein contained and such failure shall continue for ten (10) Business Days after notice of such failure is given to Borrower, Agent may perform or cause performance of any such agreement, and any reasonable and actually incurred expenses of Agent and Cash Management Agent in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower.

-22-
Exhibit T3C-3
or delay by Cash Management Agent or Agent in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under the Loan Documents shall impair or prohibit the exercise of any such rights or remedies in the future or be deemed to constitute a waiver or limitation of any such right or remedy or acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy granted to Cash Management Agent and/or Agent hereunder or by law may be exercised by Cash Management Agent and/or Agent at any time and from time to time, and as often as Cash Management Agent and/or Agent may deem it expedient. Any and all of Cash Management Agent’s and/or Agent’s rights with respect to the lien and security interest granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and Borrower shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or statutes of any state, (b) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Cash Management Agent and/or Agent in the event of any default, with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay or extension of time by Cash Management Agent and/or Agent in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon Borrower by Cash Management Agent and/or Agent, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice Cash Management Agent’s and/or Agent’s right, without notice or demand, to take any action against Borrower or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
Section 8.4 Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and Borrower shall pay to Cash Management Agent and Agent and/or Cash Management Agent’s and Agent’s counsel on demand, from time to time, all reasonable and actually incurred costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable and actually incurred attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and transfer, recording and filing fees, taxes and other such charges) of, or incidental to, the creation or perfection of any lien or security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby, the sale, transfer, collection of or realization on the Collateral, or relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of Cash Management Agent and/or Agent under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the Certificate of Designation.

3.Minimum Notice Period. If, pursuant to applicable laws, prior notice of any action described in Section 1 of this Exhibit D is required to be given to Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby acknowledges that the minimum time required by such applicable laws, or, if no minimum time is specified, twenty (20) calendar days, shall be deemed a reasonable notice period.
4.Sale of Subordinate Collateral. In addition to exercising the foregoing rights, NW Capital may, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, arrange for and conduct the sale of the Subordinate Collateral at a public or private sale (as NW Capital may elect) which sale may be conducted by an employee or representative of NW Capital, and any such sale shall be considered or deemed to be a sale made in a commercially reasonable manner. NW Capital agrees to provide at least twenty (20) calendar days’ prior written notice to Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, specifying the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made and, in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of this Exhibit D, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, agrees that such twenty (20) calendar days’ notice shall constitute reasonable notification (unless a longer notice period shall be required by applicable laws). Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, in dealing with or disposing of the Subordinate Collateral or any part thereof, hereby agrees not to exercise any and all rights, legal and equitable, it may now or hereafter have to require marshaling of assets or to require, upon foreclosure, sales of assets in a particular order. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, also hereby agrees not to exercise the
Exhibit T3C-3
benefit of all laws providing for rights of appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or redemption after foreclosure now or hereafter in force. If NW Capital sells any of the Subordinate Collateral upon credit, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and the Exchange Offering Noteholders will be credited only with unconditional payments actually made by the purchaser and received by NW Capital. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Subordinate Collateral, NW Capital may resell the Subordinate Collateral and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and the Exchange Offering Noteholders shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale. In the event NW Capital shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by applicable laws or this Agreement, NW Capital may bid all or less than the amount of the Senior Obligations and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee’s and the Exchange Offering Noteholders’ obligations hereunder.
5.Sales of Private Securities. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), NW Capital may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Subordinate Collateral constituting “securities”, however defined in the Securities Laws, to limit purchasers to those who are qualified transferees and/or who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Subordinate Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to NW Capital than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, NW Capital shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of the Subordinate Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for public sale.
6.Registration of Securities. If NW Capital shall decide to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Subordinate Collateral, and if, in the opinion of counsel for NW Capital, it is necessary to have such Subordinate Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of any Securities Laws, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, shall execute and deliver, all at the Exchange Offering Noteholders’ expense, all such instruments and documents which, in the opinion of NW Capital, are necessary to register or qualify such Subordinate Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Laws and shall cause any registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of not less than six months from the date of the first public offering of such Subordinate Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and to make all amendments thereto and/or to any related prospectus or similar document which, are necessary, all in conformity with the Securities Laws applicable thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, agrees to comply with the applicable provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any jurisdiction(s) which NW Capital shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act of 1933.
7.Actions Taken by NW Capital. Any action or proceeding to enforce the rights of NW Capital upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event may be taken by NW Capital either in Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee’s and the Exchange Offering Noteholders’ name or in NW Capital’s name, as NW Capital may deem necessary, in its sole discretion.
8.Private Sales; Forgiveness or Extinguishment of Collateral. NW Capital shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Subordinate Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Exhibit D conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with the requirements of applicable Laws, or as a result of any action taken pursuant to Section 1f. of this Exhibit D including, without
Exhibit T3C-3
limitation, any cancellation, forgiveness, or other similar action with respect to the Subordinate Collateral. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby agrees not to exercise any claims against NW Capital arising by reason (i) of the fact that the price at which the Subordinate Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Senior Obligations and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee’s and the Exchange Offering Noteholders’ obligations hereunder, even if NW Capital accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Subordinate Collateral to more than one offeree, provided that such private sale is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable Laws and (ii) any action taken by NW Capital with respect to Subordinate the Collateral pursuant to Section 1f. of this Exhibit D, including, without limitation, any cancellation, forgiveness, or other similar action with respect to the Subordinate Collateral.
9.No Exercise of Rights and Remedies Under Applicable Laws. Except as set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement, Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby agrees that it shall not exercise any rights or remedy of a debtor or grantor under the UCC or other applicable laws, and all formalities prescribed by law relative to the sale or disposition of the Subordinate Collateral (other than notice of sale and any other rights, remedies and formalities that are expressly contemplated by this Agreement) and all other rights and remedies of Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee and the Exchange Offering Noteholders with respect thereto. To the extent that any such rights, remedies or formalities are compulsory under the UCC or other applicable laws, NW Capital agrees to comply and observe such formalities and requirements in accordance with the UCC and applicable laws.
10.Compliance With Limitations and Restrictions. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby agrees that in respect of any sale of the Subordinate Collateral pursuant to the terms hereof, NW Capital is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to comply with applicable laws, or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Exchange Offering Noteholders, further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall NW Capital be liable or accountable to Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee or any of the Exchange Offering Noteholders for any discount allowed by reason of the fact that such Subordinate Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
11.No Impairment of Remedies. Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby agrees that neither the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee nor any Exchange Offering Noteholder shall raise, and the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby agrees not to exercise, any procedural or substantive defense or claim in respect of, or in connection with, any choice or exercise of remedies by NW Capital. In furtherance of the foregoing, if, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, NW Capital shall be limited, delayed or otherwise required to forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including, without limitation, any right to enter a deficiency judgment against Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, any of the Exchange Offering Noteholders or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, then (x) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Exchange Offering Noteholders, shall, in the sole discretion of NW Capital, join NW Capital in, and not oppose, any appeal of any such limitation, delay or forfeiture of any of its rights or remedies, even if such appeal shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which any of the Exchange Offering Noteholders might otherwise have had but for such appeal (it being understood and agreed that such costs of the Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee pursuant to this provision shall be added to any claims the Exchange Offering
Exhibit T3C-3
Indenture Trustee, in its own capacity as Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, may have for payment against the Borrower), and (y) Exchange Offering Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Exchange Offering Noteholders, hereby consents to such action by NW Capital and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, agrees that it shall not exercise any claim based upon such action, even if such action by NW Capital shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation, indemnification or reimbursement which any of the Exchange Offering Noteholders might otherwise have had but for such action by NW Capital or the terms herein.
12.Application of Proceeds.
