2.2 Subordinated Lenders’ Liens.
(a) Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of perfection or attachment of the security interests and liens granted by Borrower to Senior Lender or any Subordinated Lender, and notwithstanding the usual application of the priority provisions of the UCC or any other applicable law or judicial decision, or whether Senior Lender or any Subordinated Lender holds possession of all or any part of the Collateral, Senior Lender shall have a first and prior continuing security interest in and lien on the Collateral, and Subordinated Lender shall have a security interest therein subordinate in priority to the lien and security interest held by Senior Lender.

3
(b) Each Subordinated Lender agrees that such Subordinated Lender will not without Senior Lender’s written permission and in concert with and at the direction of Senior Lender: (a) commence any action or proceeding or otherwise take action against Borrower to recover all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, including any action to foreclose or realize upon any Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt; or (b) commence, or join with any creditor, other than Senior Lender, in commencing, directly or indirectly, or cause Borrower to commence, or assist Borrower in commencing, any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership or similar laws for arrangement of debts of Borrower.
(c) Except as provided in Section 2.2(b) above and subject at all times to Senior Lender’s prior and superior lien in the Collateral, in the event any payment or distribution to any Subordinated Lender is made from any of the Collateral upon or with respect to any of the Subordinated Debt, other than any payments of principal and interest which such Subordinated Lender is permitted to accept and retain hereunder, prior to the time all of the Senior Debt shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid, such Subordinated Lender shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of Senior Lender and shall immediately deliver the same to Senior Lender in precisely the form received for application against the Senior Debt, whether due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Lender as the property of Senior Lender.

In the event of any failure by such Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment, Senior Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized, as attorney-in-fact for the respective Subordinated Lender, to make the same.
3. Further Limitations on Actions of Subordinated Lenders.
3.1 Other than Permitted Subordinated Lender Actions (which Subordinated Lenders may take at any time, but only to the extent permitted by this Agreement and the Subordinated Loan Documents and applicable law), until Senior Lender has received Payment in Full of all Senior Debt, no Subordinated Lender shall enforce or exercise, or seek to enforce or exercise, any right of acceleration or demand, or commence any other action or proceeding (including without limitation the initiation of any legal proceedings) to collect all or any part of the Subordinated Debt.
3.2 Senior Lender hereby approves the execution and delivery of the Subordinated Loan Documents as the same exist as of the date hereof and acknowledges that such execution and delivery shall not constitute an event of default under the Senior Loan Documents.
3.3 Subordinated Lender hereby approves the execution and delivery of the Senior Loan Documents as the same exist as of the date hereof and acknowledges that such execution and delivery shall not constitute an event of default under the Subordinated Loan Documents.
4. Continuing Subordination.

If Borrower shall become subject to a proceeding under the Code, and if the Senior Lender shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral by Borrower or to provide post-petition financing from the Senior Lender to Borrower, each Subordinated Lender agrees as follows: (a) no notice need be provided to any respective Subordinated Lender for such use of cash collateral or such post-petition financing; and (b) no objection will be raised by the Subordinated Lenders to any such use of cash collateral or such post-petition financing from the Senior Lender.
