and in the name of New Lender or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which New Lender may be required to deliver pursuant to this Section 4.

5.Proceedings and Enforcement Actions.

(a)From and after delivery to New Lender of an Existing Creditor Default Notice (but only so long as the Event of Default giving rise to such Existing Creditor Default Notice has not been waived or cured), any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) received by New Lender which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable out of, from the proceeds of, in lieu of, or in respect of the PA Equity, shall be paid or delivered directly first, to Smoore until the Smoore Indebtedness is satisfied and then to the Noteholder Representative until the Noteholder Indebtedness is satisfied (to be held and/or applied by the Existing Creditors to the repayment of any and all then outstanding Existing Creditor Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Existing Creditor Loan Documents until all Existing Creditor Indebtedness is Paid in Full), and New Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all debtors, debtors-in–possession, receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries, and, subject to the provisions hereof, New Lender also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs each Existing Creditor to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution.

(b)New Lender agrees to execute and deliver to each other Creditor or its representative all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (a).

(c)In the event of a Proceeding, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Creditors in the PA Equity even if all or part of the Liens securing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding.

(d)Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Creditor shall be deemed to have waived or relinquished any rights that it may have with respect to any claims or otherwise in connection with any Proceeding. For purposes of clarification, each Creditor retains its rights, to the extent such Creditor’s actions are at all times consistent with and in compliance with this Agreement, to otherwise act in any Proceeding in its capacity as a holder of Indebtedness to the fullest extent provided by law.

(e)Until the Existing Creditor Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with their terms, New Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of the Existing Creditors, take any Enforcement Action with respect to Xxxxx’x right, title and interest in the PA Equity and the Existing Creditors shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain any such Enforcement Action or otherwise enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off, recoupment and the right to credit bid their debt) and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to such PA Equity. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercising rights and remedies with respect to such PA Equity, the Existing Creditors may enforce the provisions of the Existing Creditor Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the

exercise of their sole discretion in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with any other Creditor and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any other Creditor. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the Existing Creditors, or either of them, to sell or otherwise dispose of such PA Equity upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Additionally, and for the avoidance of doubt, until the Existing Loan Documents have been terminated in accordance with their terms New Lender hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not:

(1)take any action adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the PA Equity securing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness or the rights of the Existing Creditors as provided herein;

(2)make any filings (other than statements of interest) or file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading in any Proceeding, in each case, which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;

(3)vote on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, make other filings, make any arguments and motions, in each case, which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;

(4)credit bid for the PA Equity at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon the PA Equity initiated by an Existing Creditor, or any sale of the PA Equity during a Proceeding; or bid for or purchase the PA Equity at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon the PA Equity initiated by an Existing Creditor, or any sale of the PA Equity during a Proceeding where such bid or purchase would not result in Payment in Full of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness; and

(5)have (and hereby agrees to waive) any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor (including junior lien rights to assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right) or otherwise to object to the manner in which an Existing Creditor seeks to enforce or collect any part of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of an Existing Creditor is adverse to the interest of New Lender, provided nothing herein will prevent any New Lender from seeking adequate protection payments in any Proceeding to the extent an Existing Creditor is also being offered adequate protection payments.

(f)Each Creditor acknowledges and agrees that:

(1)the grants of Liens pursuant to the Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

(2)because of, among other things, their differing rights in the assets of Obligors, the New Lender Indebtedness, the Smoore Indebtedness and the Noteholder Indebtedness each are fundamentally different and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Proceeding.

(g)The Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Obligor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in a Proceeding.

6.Incorrect Payments. If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other property) not expressly permitted under this Agreement is received by New Lender on account of Indebtedness before New Lender is entitled to such payment under the terms of this Agreement, such payment shall be held in trust by New Lender first for the benefit of the Existing Creditors and shall immediately be paid over first, to Smoore until the Smoore Indebtedness is satisfied and then to the Noteholder Representative until the Noteholder Indebtedness is satisfied, or either of their designated representatives, for application to the payment of the applicable Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

7.Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.

0.Xxxx, Transfer. New Lender shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations in respect of the New Lender Indebtedness unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the New Lender Indebtedness shall agree to be bound hereby, in form satisfactory to the Existing Creditors. The Existing Creditors shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of their respective rights and obligations in respect of the Existing Creditor Indebtedness unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, any such transferee or assignee, as a condition to acquiring an interest in the Existing Creditor Indebtedness shall agree to be bound hereby, in form satisfactory to New Lender. Notwithstanding the failure to satisfy the foregoing conditions, such transfer shall be valid, and the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the applicable Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Creditor. Each Creditor, upon the request of another Creditor and at the expense of Borrower, shall reasonably cooperate and promptly execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as such Creditor may reasonably request in order to affect fully the purposes of this Section.

9.Relationship with Existing Intercreditor Agreements. Nothing herein shall amend or modify any provision of the Existing Intercreditor Agreements or any documents evidencing the Existing Creditor Indebtedness and New Lender and the Existing Creditors acknowledge and agree that the relative priorities of the Existing Creditors’ Liens, encumbrances and claims in and to the Collateral, as such exist among the Existing Creditors, will be set forth in the Existing Intercreditor Agreements.

(b)Except as expressly provided in Section 5, each Creditor may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any other Creditor, without incurring liability to any other Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any other Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any Indebtedness, or amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner any Document.

(c)Each Creditor waives any and all rights it may have to require any other Creditor to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order.
