Subordination.
|
2.1 Subordination of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt. The Company covenants and agrees, and Subordinated Creditor by its acceptance of the Subordinated Debt Documents (whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment) likewise covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Subordinated Debt Documents, that the payment of any and all of the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinate and subject in right and time of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt is now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained in this Agreement.
2.2 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. In the event of any Proceeding involving the Company:
(a) All Senior Debt shall first be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall be terminated before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to Subordinated Creditor on account of any Subordinated Debt.
(b) Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to Agent (to be held and/or applied by Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents) until all Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated. Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to Agent. Subordinated Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, in the name of Subordinated Creditor, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.
(c) Subordinated Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing the Senior Debt.
(d) Subordinated Creditor agrees that Agent or any Senior Lender may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide financing to Company on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as Agent or such Senior Lender, in its sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, Company may grant to Agent or such Senior Lender liens and security interests upon all of the property of Company, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of all Senior Debt (whether such Senior Debt arose prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by Agent or such Senior Lender during such Proceeding and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the liens and security interests, if any, in favor of Subordinated Creditor on the property of Company. Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the Senior Debt free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims of Subordinated Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if Agent or any Senior Lender has consented to such sale or disposition. Subordinated Creditor agrees not to assert any right it may have to "adequate protection" of Subordinated Creditor's interest in any Collateral in any Proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of Agent or such Senior Lender. Subordinated Creditor waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of Agent's or any Senior Lender's election, in any Proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by Company, as debtor in possession. Subordinated Creditor further agrees that it will not seek to participate or participate on any creditor's committee without Agent's or such Senior Lender's prior written consent. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a "subordination agreement" under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of a Proceeding.
4
(e) Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt requested by Agent in connection with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim and (ii) vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to 15 days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In the event that Agent votes any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, Subordinated Creditor shall not be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.
(f) The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Lenders and Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security interests securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of such holder.

2.3
|
Subordinated Debt Payment Restrictions.
|
(a) Notwithstanding the terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents, the Company hereby agrees that it may not make, and Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that it will not accept, any Distribution with respect to the Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have terminated.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 2.3 to the contrary, the failure of the Company to make any Distribution with respect to the Subordinated Debt by reason of the operation of this Section 2.3 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Subordinated Debt Default under the applicable Subordinated Debt Documents.
2.4 Subordinated Debt Standstill Provisions. Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall be terminated, Subordinated Creditor shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt or the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor may file proofs of claim against the Company in any Proceeding involving the Company. Any Distributions or other proceeds of any Enforcement Action obtained by Subordinated Creditor in violation of the foregoing prohibition shall in any event be held in trust by it for the benefit of Agent and Senior Lenders and promptly paid or delivered to Agent for the benefit of Senior Lenders in the form received until all Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents shall have been terminated.
5
2.5 Incorrect Payments. If any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by the Company or accepted by Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of Agent and Senior Lenders and shall be promptly paid over to Agent for application (in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is paid in full.
2.6 Subordination of Liens and Security Interests; Agreement Not to Contest; Agreement to Release Liens. Until the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all lending commitments under the Senior Debt Documents have terminated, all liens and security interests of Subordinated Creditor in the Collateral shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens and security interests of Agent (for its benefit and the benefit of the Senior Lenders) in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens and security interests. Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Debt, the Senior Debt Documents, or the liens and security interests of Agent in the Collateral securing the Senior Debt. In the event that Agent releases or agrees to release any of its liens or security interests in the Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof or any of the Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, Subordinated Creditor shall (or shall cause its agent) to promptly execute and deliver to Agent such termination statements and releases as Agent shall reasonably request to effect the release of the liens and security interests of Subordinated Creditor in such Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Subordinated Creditor and in the name of Subordinated Creditor or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which Subordinated Creditor may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 2.6.
2.7 Application of Proceeds from Sale or other Disposition of the Collateral. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents or as otherwise consented to by Agent and the Senior Lenders until such time as the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all commitments to lend under the Senior Debt Documents have been terminated.
2.8 Exclusive Enforcement. Until the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all lending commitments under the Senior Debt Documents have terminated, whether or not a Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company, Agent shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of Subordinated Creditor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default under the Senior Debt Documents, Agent may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Debt and the Collateral in such order and manner as it may determine in its sole discretion.

2.10 Use of Subordinated Debt.
