(a) In the event of any distribution of the proceeds of any of the Collateral covered by the Senior Loan Documents or Subordinated Loan Documents whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of Borrower, or the application of the assets of Borrower and including without limitation, the payment or liquidation thereof, or as a result of foreclosure of the Collateral, or the dissolution or winding up of Borrower's business or the sale of the Collateral (except in the ordinary course of business) or all or substantially all of Borrower's assets, all distributions of proceeds of said assets or Collateral shall be first made to the Senior Lender(s) pro rata with one another until the Borrower's obligations to the Senior Lender(s) under the Senior Loan Documents only are paid in full, and thereafter to the Subordinated Lender(s) pro rata with one another. All parties to this Agreement agree that should it receive any monies in contravention of this Agreement from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of, or as a result of its loan documents, in any of the Collateral at any time during the term of this Agreement, it will (unless otherwise restricted or prohibited by law) hold the same in trust for and promptly pay over the same to the party(ies) entitled to receive such monies in accordance with the priorities of liens provided hereunder.
(b) Subordinated Debt and the lien(s) of the Subordinated Loan Documents shall, upon the execution hereof, be subject to and subordinate to Senior Debt and liens of the Senior Loan Documents which shall at all times have priority over Subordinated Debt and Subordinated Loan Documents as to:

(ii) All interest, including any default rate interest or late fees, which may become due and owing thereon with respect to the Senior Debt;
(iii) All costs, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred by the Senior Lender(s) in connection with collection efforts as to the Senior Debt or Senior Loan Documents.
Any Subordinated Lender, by executing this Agreement, acknowledges that it has received and reviewed with its counsel this Agreement and fully understands the terms and obligations of the parties hereunder. The Borrower and the Subordinated Lender(s) each acknowledge that a default under the Subordinated Debt shall hereafter constitute a default or Event of Default under the Senior Debt and an event of default under the Senior Debt shall be an event of default under the Subordinated Debt.
(c) Except as herein set forth in this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender(s) shall not receive, accept or demand from the Borrower any pre-payments or payments whatsoever. Provided, further, the Subordinated Lender(s) shall not without the express written permission of the holders of a majority the Senior Debt, exercised in the sole and exclusive discretion of such majority of Senior Lenders, exercise any remedy for failure of Borrower to make any payment including, without limitation, the commencement of a foreclosure action under the Subordinated Loan Documents. In the event that any Subordinated Lender shall accept or receive any funds or payments in contravention of this article, said amounts shall be held in trust and segregated in separate accounts at interest (such interest to be the then applicable savings account or money market rates) by such Subordinated Lender(s) for the benefit of the Senior Lender(s) and shall be paid to the Senior Lender(s) on a pro--rata basis according to an updated list of Senior Lender(s) maintained by Borrower upon written demand therefore together with all interest accrued thereon.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, provided that there is no Event of Default or other occurrence which with the passage of time and/or giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Debt, the Subordinated Lender(s) may receive or accept payments from the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Loan Documents.
8. Conduct of Liquidation. Either the Senior Lender(s) or Subordinated Lender(s), or any of them, including holders of Senior or Subordinated Debt that are insiders or affiliates of the Borrower, may conduct a foreclosure or liquidation of the Collateral in which they have a lien pursuant to their respective loan documents subject, however, to the following:
(a) Any Senior Lender(s) or Subordinated Lender(s) which conducts a foreclosure or liquidation may only do so upon the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Senior Debt and shall provide all holders of Senior and Subordinated Debt with copies of all demands, communications, correspondence and pleadings which relate to such party's conduct of such foreclosure or liquidation.

(e) Any Senior Lender may, in its sole discretion, accelerate or demand payment of the Senior Debt held by such Senior Lender and may, with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Senior Debt, initiate or conduct a liquidation, foreclose upon, realize upon, or exercise any of the Senior Lender's rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral following written notice to but without the consent of the Subordinated Lender(s).
(f) The Subordinated Lender(s), or any of them, shall not have any right to contest any of the procedures or actions taken by any Senior Lender (unless such Senior Lender is engaged in conduct that requires the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Senior Debt and such prior written consent has not been obtained) with respect to the Collateral covered by the Senior Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any price (provided foreclosure sale is held in a commercially reasonable manner) or other terms of sale or disposition of such Collateral.
(g) Senior Lender(s) and Subordinated Lender(s) each hereby waive any and all rights to require the other to marshal the Collateral or any part thereof upon any foreclosure or liquidation of any such Collateral, nor shall the Senior Lender(s) be required to first pursue or otherwise realize upon any other collateral (unconnected to the Collateral) and/or pursue its right under any guarantees of the Senior Debt. The Senior Lender(s) do hereby reserve their right to pursue all remedies afforded to them under the Senior Loan Documents without affecting their rights hereunder.
(h) Any Senior or Subordinated Lender needing the prior written consent of a majority of the holders within its respective class to take any particular action may count its own holdings within such class when tabulating whether a majority has been obtained. In the case of a any Lender (including a Lender that is an insider or affiliate of the Borrower) which individually holds a majority of the outstanding debt of either debt class such Lender need not solicit any consents from any other holders within the class before proceeding with any action that requires majority consent, provided however, all notices and communications required under this Agreement must still be timely delivered when and as required.
