voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency, reorganization
or
bankruptcy proceedings;
(iii) any
assignment by Borrower for the benefit of creditors; or
(iv) any
other
marshalling of the assets of Borrower;
all
Bank Debt
(including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such
proceedings and any other sums or premium due) shall first be paid in full
before any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other
property, shall be made on account of any Subordinated Debt or the Subordinated
Loan Documents and any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities
or
other property which would otherwise, but for these subordination provisions,
be
payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Debt or the Subordinated
Loan
Documents shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Bank Debt until
all Bank Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement
of
any such proceedings) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full.
The
Subordinator shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the
filing of claims is required by law, all claims which the Subordinator may
have
against any of the Borrower relating to any Subordinated Debt and will assign
to
the holders of the Bank Debt all rights of the Subordinator thereunder. If
Subordinator does not file any such claim, the holder of the Bank Debt as
attorney-in-fact for Subordinator is hereby authorized to do so in the name
of
Subordinator or, in such holder's discretion, to assign the claim to a nominee
and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such holder's nominee.
The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be
revoked. The holder of the Bank Debt or its nominee shall have the sole right
to
accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other
action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such cases,
whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons
authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the holder of the Bank Debt the amount
payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, the
Subordinator hereby assigns to the holder of the Bank Debt all of the
Subordinator's rights to any such payments or distributions to which the
Subordinator would otherwise be entitled.
(b) If
any
payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property, shall be received by the Subordinator in
contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Bank Debt shall have
been indefeasibly paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall
be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered
and
transferred to, the holder of Bank Debt at the time outstanding for application
to the payment of all Bank Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to
pay
all such Bank Debt in full. In the event of the failure of the Subordinator
to
endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of
Bank Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the
same.
(c)
The Bank
Debt shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holder thereof
shall have indefeasibly received cash in lawful currency of the United States
of
America equal to the amount of Bank Debt then outstanding, together with the
occurrence of Bank Facilities Termination, as defined in the Credit
Agreement.
(d)
The
Subordinator will take such action (including, without limitation, the execution
and filing of a financing statement with respect to this Agreement and including
the execution, verification, delivery and filing of proofs of claim, consents,
assignments or other instructions which the holder of Bank Debt may reasonably
require in order to prove and realize upon any rights or claims pertaining
to
Subordinated Debt and to effectuate the full benefit of the subordination
contained herein) as may, in the opinion of counsel designated by the Agent
Bank, be reasonably necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of
the
subordination effected by these provisions.
(e) The
Subordinator understands and acknowledges by its execution hereof that the
actions of the Lenders in connection with the Bank Debt are being or have been
made in reliance upon the subordination of the Subordinated Debt to Bank Debt
as
set forth herein.
6. Subordination
Legend; Further Assurances.
The
Company and the Subordinator will cause each note and instrument (if any)
evidencing the Subordinated Debt to be endorsed with the following legend or
the
effective equivalent thereof:
"The
Indebtedness evidenced by this instrument is subordinated to the prior payment
in cash in full of all Bank Debt (as defined in the Payment Subordination
Agreement, dated as of _____________, 200__) pursuant to, and to the extent
provided in, the Payment Subordination Agreement by the maker hereof and payee
named herein in favor of the Agent Bank therein named and its successors and
assigns."
The
Company and Subordinator each hereby agree to xxxx its respective books of
account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice of the
effect of this Agreement. The Company and the Subordinator will at their expense
and at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary
or
that the Agent Bank may reasonably request in order to protect any right or
interest granted or purported to be granted hereunder or to enable the Agent
Bank to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
7. Subject
to the terms of the Credit Agreement:
(a) This
Agreement shall continue in effect so long as any Bank Debt shall remain unpaid
and no action that the holder of the Bank Debt or any of the Borrower, with
or
without the written consent of the holder of the Bank Debt, may take or refrain
from taking with respect to any Bank Debt, any instrument representing the
same,
any Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) therefor, or any agreement
or agreements, including guaranties, in connection therewith, shall affect
this
Agreement or the obligations of the Subordinator hereunder.
(b) All
rights and interests of the Banks hereunder, and all agreements and obligations
of the Subordinator and the Company under this Agreement, shall remain in full
force and effect irrespective of:
(i) any
lack
of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Bank Notes or any
other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto;
(ii) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all
or any of the Bank Debt, or any other amendment, modification, revision,
restatement, extension or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Credit
Agreement, the Bank Notes or any other Loan Document;
(iii) any
taking and holding of Collateral or other security or additional guarantees
for
all or any of the Bank Debt; or any amendment, alteration, exchange,
substitution, restatement, transfer, enforcement, waiver, subordination,
termination or release of any Collateral or such guarantees, or any
non-perfection of any Collateral, or any consent to departure from any such
guaranty;
(iv) any
manner of application of Collateral or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the
Bank Debt, or the manner of sale of any Collateral or other
security;
(v) any
consent by any of the Banks or any other Person to the change, restructure
or
termination of the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or the
Subordinator, or any Subsidiary thereof and any corresponding restructure of
the
Bank Debt, or any other restructure or refinancing of the Bank Debt or any
portion thereof;
(vi) any
modification, compounding, compromise, settlement, release by the Banks or
any
of them or any other Person (or by operation of law or otherwise), collection
or
other liquidation of the Bank Debt or of the Collateral or other security in
whole or in part, and any refusal of payment to any Bank in whole or in part,
from any obligor or guarantor in connection with any of the Bank Debt, whether
or not with notice to, or further assent by, or any reservation of rights
against the Subordinator; or
(vii) any
other
circumstance (including, but not limited to, any statute of limitations) which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the
Borrower or the Subordinator.
Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subordinator hereby consents
to
and agrees that the rights of each Bank hereunder, and the enforceability
hereof, shall not be affected by any release of any Collateral or security
from
the liens and security interests created by any of the Loan Documents or any
other agreement whether for purposes of sales or other dispositions of assets
or
for any other purpose. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Bank
Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Bank upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made.
(c) The
Subordinator waives the right to require the Banks to proceed against the
Borrower or any other person liable on the Bank Debt, to proceed against or
exhaust any security held from any Borrower or any other person, or to pursue
any other remedy in the Banks' power whatsoever and the Subordinator waives
the
right to have the property of the Borrower first applied to the discharge of
the
Bank Debt. The Banks may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy they
may have against the Borrower or any security held by the Banks, including,
without limitation, the right to foreclosure upon any such security by one
or
more judicial or nonjudicial sales, without affecting or impairing in any way
the obligations of the Subordinator hereunder, except to the extent the Bank
Debt has been paid, and the Subordinator waives any defense arising out of
the
absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement, contribution or
subrogation or any other right or remedy of the Subordinator against the
Borrower or any such security, whether resulting from such election by the
Banks
or otherwise. The Subordinator waives any defense arising by reason of any
disability or other defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from
any cause whatsoever (including, without limitation, any intervention or
omission by the Lender) of the liability either in whole or in part, of the
Borrower to the Banks for the Bank Debt.
(d) Until
the
Bank Debt is fully and indefeasibly paid, the Subordinator shall not proceed
against the Company for the recovery of all or any portion of the Subordinated
Debt, or proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company or any
other person, or pursue any other right or remedy in the Subordinator's power
whatsoever for the collection of all or any portion of the Subordinated
Debt.
8. In
case
of a breach by the Subordinator of this Agreement, the Subordinator hereby
agrees to be responsible for and to pay all costs and expenses, including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and costs and accountants' fees, incurred
by
the holder of the Bank Debt in connection with the enforcement by the holder
of
the Bank Debt of its rights or the protection of the holder of the Bank Debt
of
its interests as a result of such breach under this Agreement, whether incurred
pre-trial, at trial or on appeal.
9. Time
shall be of the essence of this Agreement.
10. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of
the
State of Nevada. The parties hereto further agree that, subject to the
Arbitration provisions set forth below in paragraph 11, the full and exclusive
forum for the determination of any action relating to this Agreement shall
be
either an appropriate Court of the State of Nevada or the United States District
Court or United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.
11. Arbitration.
(a) Upon
the
request of any party, whether made before or after the institution of any legal
proceeding, any action, dispute, claim or controversy of any kind (e.g., whether
in contract or in tort, statutory or common law, legal or equitable) ("Dispute")
now existing or hereafter arising between the parties in any way arising out
of,
pertaining to or in connection with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, Bank
Notes, Loan Documents or any related agreements, documents, or instruments
(collectively the "Documents"), may, by summary proceedings (e.g., a plea in
abatement or motion to stay further proceedings), bring an action in court
to
compel arbitration of any Dispute.
(b) All
Disputes between the parties shall be resolved by binding arbitration governed
by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction.
(c) No
provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under this arbitration clause
shall
limit the rights of any party, and the parties shall have the right during
any
Dispute, to seek, use and employ ancillary or preliminary remedies, judicial
or
otherwise, for the purposes of realizing upon, preserving, protecting or
foreclosing upon any property, real or personal, which is involved in a Dispute,
or which is subject to, or described in, the Documents, including, without
limitation, rights and remedies relating to: (i) foreclosing against any
real or personal property collateral or other security by the exercise of a
power of sale under the Documents or other security agreement or instrument,
or
applicable law, (ii) exercising self-help remedies (including setoff rights)
or
(iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies such as injunctive relief,
sequestration, attachment, garnishment or the appointment of a receiver from
a
court having jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any
arbitration. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief
or
pursuit of provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self-help remedies
shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the
plaintiff, to submit the Dispute to arbitration nor render inapplicable the
compulsory arbitration provision hereof.
12. Waiver
of Jury Trial.
TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BANKS, THE COMPANY AND SUBORDINATOR EACH

OR
IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF BANKS,
THE COMPANY AND SUBORDINATOR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT
AGREEMENT, THE BANK NOTES OR ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND
IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BANKS, THE COMPANY AND SUBORDINATOR EACH MUTUALLY
AGREE
THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, DEMAND, OR PROCEEDINGS SHALL
BE
DECIDED BY A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE DEFENDING PARTY MAY FILE
AN
ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT OR OTHER TRIBUNAL AS WRITTEN
EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE COMPLAINING PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT
TO
TRIAL BY JURY.
13. In
the
event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should
be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any
way
be affected or impaired thereby.
14. The
Company joins in the execution of this Agreement to evidence its agreement
to
the terms hereof and to be legally bound hereby. This Agreement shall be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and
assigns.
