2. Covenants. OpBiz and each PH Party hereby covenants that until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and satisfied in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors, OpBiz shall comply with, and shall cause each Guarantor to comply with, such of the following provisions as are applicable to it.
2.1 Transfers. Any Person who proposes to acquire any right or interest in the License Agreement or the Licensing Obligations shall, prior to acquiring such interest, execute and deliver a counterpart of this Agreement to each other party hereto.
2.2 Subordination Provisions. As an inducement to each of the Mezzanine Investors to (i) consent to the Refinancing and the Prepayment, and (ii) enter into the Investor Rights Agreement and the other Restructuring Documents, notwithstanding any other provision of the License Agreement to the contrary, any Distribution with respect to the Licensing Obligations is and shall be expressly junior and subordinated in right of payment to all amounts due and owing upon all Guaranteed Obligations outstanding from time to time in the manner and to the extent set forth herein.
(a) Payments. OpBiz shall not make any Distribution in respect of the Licensing Obligations until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors; provided, however, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred, any Obligor may pay, and the PH Parties may receive, payments in respect of the Licensing Obligations, as and when due (on a non-accelerated basis), as set forth in the Licensing Agreement. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i) OpBiz shall not make any Distribution in respect of the Licensing Obligations, except that OpBiz shall accrue such amounts as and when such amounts become due and otherwise payable(an “OpBiz Accrual”), and (ii) no PH Party shall be entitled to receive or retain any such Distribution in respect of the Licensing Obligations, provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing restriction, any Obligor may pay and any PH Party shall be entitled to receive and retain any payment in respect of Licensing Obligations that has become due and payable (on a non-accelerated basis) on the earliest to occur of (x) the date on which all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, or (y) payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors.
(b) Limitation on Remedies. Until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors, from and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no PH Party shall be entitled to exercise any remedies or commence any action or proceeding to recover any amounts due, or to become due, in respect to the Licensing Obligations; provided that, for purposes of clarification, nothing in this Section 2.2(b) shall prohibit any PH Party from seeking equitable remedies with respect to any obligations under the Licensing Agreement that are not Licensing Obligations (e.g., enforcement of qualify control standards and the like).
(c) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations in Bankruptcy, etc. In the event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings relative to any Obligor or its property, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in connection
4
therewith, or, in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor or distribution or marshalling of its assets or any composition with, or assignment for the benefit of, the creditors of such Obligor whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or if any Obligor shall cease its operations, call a meeting of its creditors or no longer do business as a going concern (each individually or collectively, an “Event of Insolvency”) then all Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid in full and satisfied in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors before any Distribution may be made on account of the Licensing Obligations. During the pendency of any such Event of Insolvency, OpBiz may continue to accrue the OpBiz Accruals, but no Distributions shall be made to the PH Parties during such Event of Insolvency. Any Distribution in an Event of Insolvency which would, but for the provisions hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Licensing Obligations, shall be paid or delivered directly to the Mezzanine Investors until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors, at which time the Mezzanine Investors shall deliver to the PH Parties any surplus to which they are then entitled.
(d) Acceleration of Guaranteed Obligations. In the event any Guaranteed Obligations become due and payable, whether by acceleration, maturity or otherwise, no Distribution shall thereafter be made on account of the Licensing Obligations until such due and payable Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors, provided, however, that OpBiz shall be permitted to accrue such amounts until such time as such due and payable Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid as set forth herein.
(e) Power of Attorney. To enable the Mezzanine Investors to assert and enforce their rights hereunder in any proceeding referred to in Section 2.2(c) or upon the happening of any Event of Insolvency, the Collateral Agent, with the power to appoint its substitute, is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact for each PH Party (in such capacity, the “Proxy”) with full power to act in the place and stead of such PH Party, including the right to make, present, file and vote such proofs of claim against any Obligor on account of all or any part of the Licensing Obligations as the Proxy may deem advisable and to receive and collect any Distributions other payments made thereon and to apply the same on account of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(c) hereof. Each PH Party will execute and deliver to the Proxy such instruments as may be required by the Mezzanine Investors to enforce their right to receive any and all payments in respect of the Licensing Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(c) hereof, to effectuate the aforesaid power of attorney and to effect collection of any and all Distributions or other payments which may be made at any time on account thereof, and each PH Party hereby irrevocably appoints the Proxy as the lawful attorney and authorizes the Proxy to execute financing statements on behalf of such PH Party and hereby further authorizes the Proxy to file such financing statements in any appropriate public office.
(f) Payments Held in Trust. Should any Distribution or the proceeds thereof, in respect of the Licensing Obligations, be collected or received by any PH Party or any Affiliate (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of Regulation C adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933) of any PH Party at a time when
5
such PH Party is not permitted to receive any such Distribution or proceeds thereof including if the same is collected or received when there is or would be after giving effect to such payment an Event of Default, then such PH Party will forthwith deliver, or cause to be delivered, the same to the Mezzanine Investors until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Mezzanine Investors in precisely the form held by such PH Party (except for any necessary endorsement) and until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such PH Party, or any such Affiliate, as the property of the Mezzanine Investors and shall not be commingled with other property of such PH Party or any such Affiliate.
(g) Scope of Subordination The provisions of this Agreement are solely to define the relative rights of the Mezzanine Investors and the PH Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair, as between OpBiz and the PH Parties the unconditional and absolute obligation of OpBiz to punctually pay, or cause the payment by any other Obligor, of all obligations owing under the Licensing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Investors under this Agreement.
(h) Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, each PH Party further agrees as follows:
(i) the PH Parties shall not be entitled to a claim for rejection damages of any kind upon termination of the License Agreement in a proceeding referred to in Section 2.2(c) hereof, in any Event of Insolvency or otherwise;
(ii) the PH Parties shall consent to the assumption and/or assignment of the License Agreement by or to (x) OpBiz as debtor or debtor-in-possession (or any trustee appointed in respect thereof) and/or the substitution of the Mezzanine Investors for OpBiz under the License Agreement, or (y) EquityCo or any wholly owned subsidiary of EquityCo, or otherwise in connection with a sale of OpBiz, whether in a proceeding referred to in Section 2.2(c) hereof, in connection with any Event of Insolvency or otherwise;
(iii) the PH Parties agree that the term “Lenders” (as defined in the License Agreement) shall mean and be a reference to the Mezzanine Investors, with the effect being that all rights and remedies in the License Agreement reserved for the Lenders will instead be rights and remedies of the Mezzanine Investors (by way of example and not of limitation, the non-competition obligations of OpBiz should not terminate unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full). In furtherance thereof, all references to the terms “Loan Agreement” and “Obligations” in the License Agreement will instead be deemed to be references to “Pledge Agreement” and “Guaranteed Obligations”, respectively (in all cases, as such terms are used and defined in the License Agreement); and
6
(iv) the PH Parties cannot terminate the License Agreement upon commencement of a proceeding referred to in Section 2.2(c) hereof or during an Event of Insolvency.
3. Miscellaneous.
3.1 Legends. From and after the date hereof, each PH Party shall cause the License Agreement to contain a provision to the following effect:
“This Agreement and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of PHII and PHMemo hereunder are and shall be subject in all respects to the Amended and Restated License Subordination Agreement dated as of November 30, 2006 and entered into among the Mezzanine Investors specified therein, PHII, PHMemo and HOTEL JV (the “A&R License Subordination Agreement”). The A&R License Subordination Agreement provides, among other things, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of certain Defaults or Events of Default under the Pledge Agreement, no cash payments may be made by HOTEL JV to PHII or PHMemo in respect of any amounts due and owing pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, in respect of the Continuing Fee, Retail Royalties, liquidated damages pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, or interest on overdue payments pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof.”
Proof of compliance with the foregoing shall be promptly given to the Mezzanine Investors.
3.2 Intentionally Omitted.
3.3 Survival of Rights. The right of the Mezzanine Investors to enforce the provisions of this Agreement shall not be prejudiced or impaired by any act or omitted act of any Obligor or any Mezzanine Investor including forbearance, waiver, consent, compromise, amendment, extension, renewal, or taking or release of security in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or noncompliance by any Obligor with such provisions, regardless of the actual or imputed knowledge of the Mezzanine Investors.
3.4 Receipt of Agreements. Each PH Party hereby acknowledges that it has delivered to the Mezzanine Investors a correct and complete copy of the License Agreement as in effect on the date hereof. Each PH Party hereby acknowledges receipt of a correct and complete copy of each of the Restructuring Documents as in effect on the date hereof.

7
Investors, no Obligor and no PH Party shall enter into any amendment to or modification of the License Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Mezzanine Investors.
3.6 Amendments to Restructuring Documents. Nothing contained in this Agreement, or in any other agreement or instrument binding upon any of the parties hereto, shall in any manner limit or restrict the ability of the Mezzanine Investors from increasing or changing the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Restructuring Documents, or to otherwise waive, amend or modify the terms and conditions of any of the Restructuring Documents, in such manner as the Mezzanine Investors and the Obligors shall mutually determine. Each PH Party hereby consents to any and all such waivers, amendments, modifications and compromises, and any other renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases of collateral or other accommodations granted by the Mezzanine Investors to the Obligors from time to time, and agrees that none of such actions shall in any manner affect or impair the subordination established by this Agreement in respect of the Licensing Obligations.
