Schedule 1
PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO
QUALIFIED SUBORDINATED DEBT
(a) Qualified Subordinated Debt shall at all times be
wholly subordinate and junior in right of payment to indebtedness of
Tenant which in all events must include payments of Rent under the Lease
(herein called "Superior Indebtedness"), upon substantially the
following terms and conditions or such other terms and conditions as may
be reasonably approved by Landlord and Lender (and Landlord in all
events must be defined to be a "holder" of Superior Indebtedness):
(1) In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of Tenant, or of any execution,
sale, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation,
readjustment, reorganization or other similar proceeding
relative to Tenant or its property, all principal and
interest owing on, or payments of rent in respect of, all
Superior Indebtedness shall first be irrevocably paid in
full before any payment is made upon the indebtedness
evidenced by the subordinated notes; and in any such event
any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities (other than in
securities, including equity securities, or other evidences
of indebtedness, the payment of which is subordinated to the
payment of all Superior Indebtedness which may at the time
be outstanding) which shall be made upon or in respect of
the subordinated notes shall be paid over to the holders of
such Superior Indebtedness, pro rata, for application in
payment thereof unless and until such Superior Indebtedness
shall have been paid or satisfied in full;
(2) In the event that either (A) the maturity
of any Superior Indebtedness is accelerated or Landlord has
given notice to Tenant of its intention to terminate the
Lease or require Tenant to make an irrevocable offer to
terminate the Lease followng an Event of Default thereunder
or (B) the subordinated notes are declared or become due and
payable because of the occurrence of any event of default
thereunder (or under the agreement or indenture, as
appropriate) or otherwise than at the option of Tenant, in
either case, under circumstances when the foregoing
clause (1) shall not be applicable, the holders of the
subordinated notes shall be entitled to payments only after
there shall first have been paid in full all Superior
Indebtedness outstanding at the time of the occurrence of
the events specified in subclauses (A) or (B) above, or
payment shall have been provided for in a manner
satisfactory to the holders of such Superior Indebtedness;
and
(3) During the continuance of (A) any default with
respect to any Superior Indebtedness, or (B) any Event of
Default under the Lease, which would permit the holders
thereof to accelerate the maturity of such Superior
Indebtedness, no payment of principal, premium or interest
shall be made on the subordinated notes, if written notice
of such default (a "Default Notice") has been given to
Tenant by any holder or holders of any Superior
Indebtedness, for a period of not less than one hundred
eighty (180) days following receipt of any Default Notice.
Upon receipt of any Default Notice from the holders of
Superior Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (3), Tenant
shall forthwith send a copy thereof to each holder of the
subordinated notes at the time outstanding. Any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities made with respect to any subordinated
note after receipt by Tenant of a Default Notice shall be
held by the holder of such subordinated note in trust for
the benefit of, and shall be paid over to, the holders of
such Superior Indebtedness for application on a pro rata
basis to the payment of such Superior Indebtedness unless
and until such Superior Indebtedness shall have been paid or
satisfied in full.
(b) No right of any holder of any Superior
Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided
shall at any time or in any way be affected or impaired by
any failure to act on the part of Tenant or the holders of
Superior Indebtedness, or by any noncompliance by Tenant
with any of the terms, provisions and covenants of the
subordinated notes or the agreement under which they are
issued, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such
holder of Superior Indebtedness may have or be otherwise
charged with.
(c) Tenant agrees, for the benefit of the holders of Superior
Indebtedness, that in the event that any subordinated note is declared
due and payable before its expressed maturity because of the occurrence
of a default hereunder, Tenant will give prompt notice in writing of
such happening to the holders of Superior Indebtedness.
(d) The foregoing provisions are solely for the purpose of
defining the relative rights of the holders of Superior Indebtedness on
the one hand, and the holders of the subordinated notes on the other
hand, and nothing herein shall impair, as between Tenant and the holders
of the subordinated notes, the obligation of Tenant which is
unconditional and absolute, to pay the principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the subordinated notes in accordance with their terms, nor
shall anything herein prevent the holders of the subordinated notes from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or
hereunder upon default hereunder, subject to the rights of the holders
of Superior Indebtedness as herein provided for.
