Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, no payments of principal or interest shall be made on the Subordinated Indebtedness other than Permitted Payments (defined below). In addition, the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subject to the following restrictions:

(a)

Subordinated Lender shall not ask, demand, sue for, accept or receive payment from Borrower or any other Loan Party, by set-off or in any other manner, either in whole or in part, on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness, nor any security therefor without obtaining the prior written consent of Agent; provided, Subordinated Lender may set off under and pursuant to Section 4 of the Subordinated Note;

(b)

In the event of (i) any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of Borrower or any other Loan Party or the proceeds thereof, to creditors of Borrower or such Loan Party by reason of the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s business, or (ii) any sale, receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding by or against Borrower or such Loan Party for any relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, compositions or extensions, Subordinated Lender covenants that any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property that shall be paid or delivered, or payable or deliverable, upon or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness immediately

shall be paid or delivered directly to Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lenders, for application on the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not due, until the Senior Indebtedness first shall have been Paid in Full;

(c)

Until the Senior Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, Subordinated Lender shall not enforce any rights or remedies arising in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (whether pursuant to any contract or applicable law) and shall not seek or obtain any judgment that Subordinated Lender might obtain with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness (including, without limitation, execution, attachment or foreclosure of judgment liens against any assets of Borrower or any other Loan Party) without obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, regardless of whether Borrower or any other Loan Party is in default of any of its obligations to a Subordinated Lender under the Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, Subordinated Lender may set off under and pursuant to Section 4 of the Subordinated Note;

(d)

Subordinated Lender may not subordinate the Subordinated Indebtedness to any other Indebtedness of Borrower; and

(e)

Subordinated Lender shall not place any Lien upon any of the assets or property of Borrower or any other Loan Party; provided, Subordinated Lender may set off under and pursuant to Section 4 of the Subordinated Note;

provided, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, Subordinated Lender may (i) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Borrower arising under either a Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 9 of this Agreement, provided that the Subordinated Lender agrees not to oppose or object to, or support any other party in opposing or objecting to, a sale of assets consented to by the Agent, (ii) take any action to the extent necessary to prevent the running of any applicable statute of limitation or similar restriction on claims, or to assert a compulsory cross‑claim or counterclaim against the Borrower, (iii) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness that are, in each case, not inconsistent with Section 4 or this Agreement and provided that the Subordinated Creditor may not vote in favor of a plan of reorganization which does not pay the Senior Indebtedness in full in cash on the effective date unless such plan has been accepted by the Senior Lenders, (iv) declare an event of default under the Subordinated Note and, if Senior Lenders have elected to accelerate the Loans under the Credit Agreement, the Subordinated Indebtedness may be accelerated, provided that if the Senior Lenders elect to withdraw the acceleration of the Loans, any cross-acceleration of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall automatically be revoked and will no longer be effective, and (v) defend or otherwise contest any attempt to object to or disallow any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

Permitted Payments. Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, no payments (including, without limitation, voluntary or mandatory prepayments) may be made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, provided that, so long as neither an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement) nor a Senior Payment Default (as defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of the Senior Indebtedness at the time of any payment, the

Borrower shall be permitted to pay, and the Subordinated Lender shall be permitted to retain, (a) regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Subordinated Note (on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Subordinated Note in effect as of the date hereof) and (b) all outstanding principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Note upon a Change of Control if the Agent has waived any defaults arising in respect of such Change of Control (collectively, the “Permitted Payments”). A “Senior Payment Default” shall mean the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Senior Indebtedness as and when due and payable under the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents.

Delivery of Payment to Agent and Senior Lenders. If any payment, distribution, security or proceeds thereof (other than Permitted Payments) is received by Subordinated Lender upon or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness prior to Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness by Xxxxxxxx, Subordinated Lender shall receive and hold such payment, distribution, security or proceeds in trust for Senior Lenders and immediately shall deliver the same to Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of Subordinated Lender where necessary), for application to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not due, and until so delivered the same shall be held in trust by Subordinated Lender as property of Senior Lenders. In the event of the failure of Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment, Agent, or any of its officers, employees or agents, hereby irrevocably is constituted and appointed attorney-in-fact of Subordinated Lender with full power to make the same. Subordinated Xxxxxx hereby agrees that Agent, for the benefit of Senior Xxxxxxx, shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance with respect to any violation by Subordinated Lender of the terms hereof.

Subordinated Lender shall not assign or transfer any claim, nor suffer or permit the creation or attachment of any lien, claim or encumbrance, hypothecation or pledge upon any claim, that such Subordinated Lender has or may have against Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of the Subordinated Note while any portion of the Senior Indebtedness remains unpaid, unless (a) such assignment or transfer is made expressly subject to this Agreement and (b) Subordinated Lender has obtained Agent’s prior written consent to such an assignment or transfer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

Proceedings and Distributions. For the purposes of this Section 7, the following terms shall have the following meanings: (a) “Proceeding” means any assignment by Borrower or any other Loan Party for the benefit of creditors, or any filing of a voluntary petition by or involuntary petition against Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to any chapter of the federal bankruptcy act, or any institution of a voluntary proceeding by or involuntary proceeding against Borrower or any other Loan Party under any other federal or state law relating to relief of debtors, or any appointment of a receiver, trustee or liquidator of Borrower or any other Loan Party or of all or a substantial part of such party’s assets, or any liquidation or dissolution of Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any other marshaling of Borrower’s or any other Loan Party’s assets and liabilities; and (b) “Distributions” means, collectively, all cash securities and other properties payable or otherwise distributable on or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness in any Proceeding.

(i)

In any Proceeding, Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lenders, shall have the right, but not the duty, to prepare and file a proof of claim based upon the Subordinated Indebtedness if Subordinated Xxxxxx has not filed such proof of claim on or before the fifth

day next preceding the last day permitted for such filing, and Agent shall have no liability for any matters arising as a result of Agent filing such proof of claim.

(ii)

Agent, for the benefit of Senior Lenders, shall be entitled to receive Distributions in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Senior Indebtedness has been Paid in Full (including, but not limited to, all interest accruing from time to time on the Senior Indebtedness after the commencement of any Proceeding, whether or not a claim for such interest is allowable under such Proceeding). All Distributions (other than cash and bearer instruments) shall be issued in Agent’s name, for the benefit of Senior Lenders, and all Distributions, whatever the form thereof, shall be delivered directly to Agent. No one delivering any Distributions to Agent shall have any responsibility to follow Agent’s application thereof. If, for any reason, Subordinated Lender shall receive any payment of or security for or Distribution in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any part thereof, before the Senior Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, Subordinated Lender shall receive the same in trust and shall deliver the same, in the form received, directly to Agent. Subordinated Xxxxxx shall execute and deliver such endorsements, assignments, transfer powers and other writings in respect of the foregoing as Agent may from time to time reasonably request; and Agent shall have the right to execute and deliver the same for and on behalf of Subordinated Xxxxxx and in Subordinated Xxxxxx’s name whenever Subordinated Xxxxxx omits doing so.

(iii)

In connection with any Proceeding, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms pursuant to Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and all references herein to any Loan Party shall be deemed to apply to such Loan Party as debtor-in-possession and to any trustee or receiver for the estate of such Loan Party.

(iv)

If Agent, any Senior Lender, or Subordinated Lender is required in any Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turnover or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including, without limitation, because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness, as applicable, shall be deemed not to have been paid. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated from the date of such Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.

The Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees not to take any action, or support any other party in taking any action, to contest in any manner the extent, validity or priority of the liens or claims of the Senior Lender or the Agent in respect of the Senior Indebtedness.

10.

prior discussions, agreements, and undertakings of every kind and nature among them with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18.
