(a) Until the Payment in Full of Loan Document Priority Debt, Xxxxxxx (on behalf of himself and the other Sellers) hereby subordinates the Xxxxxxx Debt and any and all claims now or hereafter owing to it by Borrower or any Guarantor under the Xxxxxxx Documents to any and all claims of Agent and the Lenders in respect of the Loan Document Priority Debt (including, without limitation, interest, fees, or costs on the Loan Document Priority Debt paid or accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and whether or not such claims are deemed allowed or recoverable in such Insolvency Proceeding), and to the payment of or for adequate protection on the Loan Document Priority Debt pursuant to any Insolvency Proceeding, and, agrees that all Loan Document Priority Debt shall be paid in full in cash or otherwise satisfied to the satisfaction of the Lenders, and the Commitments shall be terminated, before any payment may be made on the Xxxxxxx Debt or other claims of Xxxxxxx or any other Seller under the Xxxxxxx Documents, whether of principal or interest or other indebtedness or other obligations; provided, however, that so long as Xxxxxxx has not received a Standstill Notice from Agent, Borrower and the Guarantors may make and Xxxxxxx may receive and retain regularly scheduled principal and interest payments as set forth in the Xxxxxxx Promissory Notes as in effect on the date hereof (the “Permitted Payments”).
(b) Except for the Permitted Payments, Xxxxxxx (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers) agrees not to accept any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash or property other than equity securities in Parent ) upon or in respect of the Xxxxxxx Documents (from Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise), nor make any transfer of the Xxxxxxx Promissory Notes to third parties not party to this Agreement, nor take any other action designed to secure indirectly from Borrower or any Guarantor any payment on account of the Xxxxxxx Documents, without the express, prior written consent of Agent, and Xxxxxxx agrees to pay over to Agent any funds or other distributions that may be received by it from Borrower or any Guarantor (i) as a prepayment at any time or (ii) as a payment or distribution on account of the Xxxxxxx Debt, at any time until the Payment in Full of Loan Document Priority Debt.

SECTION 3. Lien Priorities; Certain Acknowledgment and Agreements.
3.1 Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens in the Collateral securing the Loan Document Priority Debt or of any Liens in the Collateral securing the Xxxxxxx Debt – including, in each case, notwithstanding whether any such Lien is granted (or secures Xxxxxxx Debt or Loan Document Priority Debt relating to the period) before or after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding – and notwithstanding any contrary provision of the UCC or any other applicable law or the Loan Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to attach or perfect, the Liens securing the Xxxxxxx Debt, or any other circumstance whatsoever, Xxxxxxx and Agent hereby agree that: (a) any Lien with respect to the Collateral securing any Loan Document Priority Debt, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of, or created for the benefit of, Xxxxxxx or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien with respect to the Collateral securing any Xxxxxxx Debt and any Excess Loan Document Debt; and (b) any Lien with respect to the Collateral securing any Xxxxxxx Debt, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of, or created for the benefit of, Agent or any other Loan Document Claimholder or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Lien with respect to the Collateral securing any Loan Document Priority Debt and senior in all respects and prior to any Lien with respect to the Collateral securing any Excess Loan Document Debt.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Xxxxxxx may (i) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Loan Document Priority Debt, or the rights of any Loan Document Claimholder to exercise rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral) in order to create or perfect their Liens in and to the Collateral, (ii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding, or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of Xxxxxxx or any other Seller, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, (iii) if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor, file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Xxxxxxx Debt, (iv) vote on any plan of reorganization and make any filings and motions that are, in each case, not in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement, with respect to the Xxxxxxx Debt and the Collateral, or (v) join (but not exercise any control with respect to) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by a Loan Document Claimholder to the extent that any such action could not reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder, limit, delay for any material period or otherwise interfere with such enforcement action by such Loan Document Claimholder (it being understood that neither Xxxxxxx nor any other Seller shall be entitled to receive any proceeds thereof unless otherwise expressly permitted herein).
