As of the date of execution of this Agreement, the only Subordinated Creditor is Xxxx X. Xxxxxx.
(c) "Subordinated Debt" means all of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Debtor to the Subordinated Creditors.
(d) "Subordinated Debt Documents" means each Subordinated Debt Instrument, any other guaranties with respect to the Subordinated Debt and all other documents, agreements and instruments now existing or hereinafter entered into evidencing or pertaining to all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, as permitted hereunder.
(e) "Superior Debt" means all liabilities, indebtedness and obligations of the Debtor to the Agent or any Lender, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, and whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, whether before or after the filing of an insolvency proceeding together with any interest, fees, costs and expenses accruing thereon after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding, without regard to whether or not such interest, fees, costs and expenses are allowed, including, but not limited to, all "Obligations" under and as defined in the Credit Agreement.
2. Subordination.
(a) Subordination of the Subordinated Debt. Each Subordinated Creditor postpones and subordinates to the extent and in the manner provided in this Agreement all of such Subordinated Creditor's Subordinated Debt to the payment of all of the Superior Debt. Except as expressly set forth herein, until the payment in full of the Superior Debt and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement, no payment or distribution of property, claims or interests of any kind or character whatsoever in respect of any Subordinated Debt shall be made by or on behalf of Company or accepted by Subordinated Creditor. Each Subordinated Creditor shall insure that any instrument or document evidencing such Subordinated Creditor's Subordinated Debt shall bear the following legend:
Payment of the indebtedness evidenced by this instrument or document and the rights of the holder hereof are subordinated and subject to the rights of PNC Bank, National Association, as Agent for certain Lenders, to the extent provided in a Subordination Agreement dated as of December 14, 2017, from the payee to said lender.
The Debtor's and each Subordinated Creditor's books shall be marked to evidence subordination of all of the Subordinated Debt to the Superior Debt. The Agent is authorized to examine such books from time to time and to make any notations required by this Agreement. All instruments and documents evidencing the Subordinated Debt shall, upon request, be delivered to the Agent properly assigned or endorsed to the Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the validity of the Subordinated Debt.
| -2- |
(b) Subordination of the Liens Securing the Subordinated Debt. Each Subordinated Creditor (i) acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, such Subordinated Creditor has no lien, security interest in, or other right to, any property of the Debtor, and (ii) covenants that it will not obtain any lien, security interest in, or other right to, any property of the Debtor without the Agent's prior written consent. To the extent that, notwithstanding the foregoing acknowledgment and covenant, any Subordinated Creditor acquires any lien, security interest in, or other right to, any of the Subordinated Creditor Collateral (as hereinafter defined), each Subordinated Creditor expressly subordinates all of its rights in any property of the Debtor, real or personal, now or later securing the Subordinated Debt (the "Subordinated Creditor Collateral"), to all present and future rights of the Agent in any of the Subordinated Creditor Collateral to secure the Superior Debt, without regard to the time or order of attachment or perfection of any security interest, the time or order of filing any financing statement, or the giving or failure to give any notice of the acquisition or expected acquisition of any purchase money security interest. Each Subordinated Creditor consents to the creation and continuance of all present and future security interests of the Agent in the Subordinated Creditor Collateral to secure the Superior Debt and to the enforcement of those security interests, including the removal of the Subordinated Creditor Collateral from the real property of the Debtor. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Superior Debt, the Credit Agreement and related loan documents, or the liens and security interests of the Agent in the collateral securing the Superior Debt. This subordination as to the Subordinated Creditor Collateral is intended to define the rights and duties of the Agent and the Subordinated Creditors; it is not intended that any third party shall benefit from it. If the effect of any provision of this subordination would be to give any third party a priority status to which that party would not otherwise be entitled, that provision shall, to the extent necessary to avoid that priority, be given no effect and the rights and priorities of the Agent and the Subordinated Creditors shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.
3. Payments on Subordinated Debt.
(a) Limitations. Except as permitted by Section 3(c), until all the Superior Debt is paid in full: (i) the Debtor shall not, directly or indirectly, make any payments on account of or (other than the liens securing the Subordinated Creditor Collateral) grant a security interest in, mortgage, assign, or transfer, any properties to secure or satisfy any part of the Subordinated Debt; (ii) no Subordinated Creditor shall demand or accept from the Debtor or any other person any such payment or collateral or cancel, set off or otherwise discharge any part of the Subordinated Debt; and (iii) neither the Debtor nor any Subordinated Creditor shall otherwise take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the Agent's priority position over the Subordinated Creditors created by this Agreement.
(b) Payments Received. If any payment (other than a payment permitted by this Agreement) on account of or any collateral for any part of the Subordinated Debt is received by any Subordinated Creditor, such payment or collateral shall be delivered forthwith to the Agent by such Subordinated Creditor for application to the Superior Debt, in the form received except for the addition of any endorsement or assignment necessary to effect transfer of all rights therein to the Agent. The Agent is irrevocably authorized (but not required), and each Subordinated Creditor does hereby irrevocably appoint the Agent, or any of its officers or employees on behalf of the Agent as the attorney-in-fact for such Subordinated Creditor in connection with the Subordinated Debt, to supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted. Until so delivered any such payment or collateral shall be held by the recipient in trust for the Agent and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of the recipient.
| -3- |
(c) Permitted Payments. The Debtor shall be permitted to make, and the Subordinated Creditors shall be permitted to accept from the Debtor, (i) regularly scheduled interest payments on the Subordinated Debt to the extent paid-in-kind (but not paid in cash), (ii) non-cash principal reductions resulting from the exercise of warrants by the Subordinated Creditors and corresponding conversion of Subordinated Debt into Equity Interests of Debtor, and (iii) cash payments of interest and principal on the Subordinated Debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed $130,000 during any calendar year so long as, in each case, both before and after giving effect to any such payment (A) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result therefrom and (B) Undrawn Availability is greater than or equal to $2,500,000.
4. Collection of the Subordinated Debt, Bankruptcy, Etc. Until all of the Superior Debt is paid in full, no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Agent, take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt. The Agent is irrevocably authorized (but not required), and each Subordinated Creditor does hereby irrevocably appoint the Agent, or any of its officers or employees on behalf of the Agent as the attorney-in-fact for such Subordinated Creditor in connection with the Subordinated Debt, at its option, at any meeting of the creditors of the Debtor or in any such proceeding or any proceeding initiated by the Debtor:
(a) to enforce claims comprising the Subordinated Debt either in its own name or in the name of the Subordinated Creditors, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise;
(b) to collect any assets of the Debtor distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued, on account of the Subordinated Debt and apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same the Agent in its discretion elects to effect, to the Superior Debt until all of the Superior Debt has been paid in full, rendering any surplus to the Subordinated Creditors;
(c) to vote claims comprising the Subordinated Debt to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension; and
(d) to take generally any action in connection with any such meeting or proceeding which any Subordinated Creditor might otherwise take.

5. Warranties and Representations Concerning Subordinated Debt.

Xxxxxx is $1,498,822.01. Until all of the Superior Debt has been paid in full, (i) no Subordinated Creditor shall assign or subordinate any part of the Subordinated Debt except to or in favor of the Agent; and (ii) except as set forth in Section 8 hereof, neither the Debtor nor the Subordinated Creditors shall agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver, or other modification of any of the terms of the Subordinated Debt.
6. Waivers; Subrogation.
(a) The Subordinated Creditors jointly and severally waive (i) any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor by the Agent, (ii) presentment, notice and protest in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing the Superior Debt or the Subordinated Debt to which they may be parties, notice of the acceptance of this Agreement by the Agent, notice of any loans made, increases in the amount of, or interest rate on the Superior Debt, extensions granted or other action taken or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence in connection with the Superior Debt, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor and to the addition or release of any person primarily or secondarily liable thereon and (iii) all rights, if any, to require a marshalling of the Debtor's assets by the Agent or to require that the Agent first resort to some or any portion of any collateral for the Superior Debt before foreclosing upon, selling or otherwise realizing on any other portion thereof. No waiver is made by the Agent of any of its rights hereunder unless the same is in writing, and each waiver, if any, is a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved.
(b) No Subordinated Creditor shall exercise any rights against any Credit Party which such Subordinated Creditor may acquire by way of subrogation or otherwise, until the payment in full of all Superior Debt and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement. If any amount is paid to any Subordinated Creditor on account of subrogation rights under this Agreement at any time prior to the payment in full of all Superior Debt and the termination of all commitments under the Credit Agreement, the amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and Lenders and shall be promptly paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Superior Debt, whether matured, unmatured, absolute or contingent, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement.
7. Duration; Reinstatement.
