Notwithstanding the terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents, without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, no Subordinated Creditor will take, demand, receive or accept from any Obligor, and no Obligor will make to any Subordinated Creditor, any Distribution or any payment of principal, interest, fees or expenses (whether optional, voluntary, mandatory, or otherwise or by set-off, redemption, defeasance, or other payment or distribution) with respect to any Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full other than Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments.

2.04 Subordinated Debt Standstill Provisions. Until the earlier of the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, Subordinated Creditor agrees that it shall not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt or Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies or any other enforcement rights as against any Obligor or its assets.

2.05 Incorrect Payments. If any Distribution or other payment (other than a Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment) is received by any Subordinated Creditor in violation of this Agreement, or any other proceeds (including Collateral and the proceeds thereof) are received by a Subordinated Creditor as a result of any Enforcement Action, Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or other enforcement taken by any Subordinated Creditor in violation of this Agreement, or any Subordinated Creditor otherwise receives any Distributions, payment or other proceeds (including Collateral and the proceeds thereof) (whether as a result of an Enforcement Action, Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise), and, in each case, at the time of receipt thereof such Distribution, payment, Collateral or other proceeds is not permitted to be made by an Obligor or accepted by the Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, such Distribution, payment, Collateral or other proceeds shall be held in trust by Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Senior Creditors and shall be promptly paid over to the Senior Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by any Subordinated Creditor where necessary) (to be applied by the Senior Agent to the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Distributions, Collateral, payment or other proceeds were a payment thereunder until all Senior Debt is Paid in Full). In the event of the failure of the Subordinated Creditor to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Senior Agent, the Senior Agent and any of its officers or agents are hereby irrevocably authorized to make such endorsement or assignment and Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Senior Agent as its lawful attorney in fact for the purpose of enabling the Senior Agent to make such endorsement or assignment in the name of any Subordinated Creditor.

2.06 Subordination of Liens; Agreement Not to Contest; Sale of Collateral; Releases.

(a) Until all of the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, any Liens of any Subordinated Creditor in the Collateral or any other assets of any Obligor which may exist shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the Liens of the Senior Agent and each other Senior Creditor in the Collateral and in such other assets, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such Liens and regardless of the validity, perfection or enforceability of such Liens of the Senior Agent and any Senior Creditor. Subordinated Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Debt Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Agent or the Senior Creditors with respect to the Collateral. Subordinated Creditor waives its right to, and agrees that it will not, at any time contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging) directly or indirectly, whether or not in any Insolvency Proceeding, the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt, any of the Senior Debt Documents, or any of the Liens asserted by the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor in any of the Collateral securing any of the Senior Debt or the validity, priority, enforceability or allowance of any of the claims of the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor or any holder of Senior Debt against any Obligor or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof.

(b) Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not take any action that would interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or other enforcement action undertaken by the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor under the Senior Debt Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any and all rights it may have to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner in which the Senior Agent or Senior Creditors seek to enforce the Liens in any Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Collateral even if any portion of the Liens securing all or any portion of the Senior Debt are avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any Insolvency Proceeding, judicial proceeding or otherwise).

(c) Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Senior Lenders, has been granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Subordinated Creditor has been granted Xxxxx and Subordinated Creditor hereby consents thereto. Subordinated Creditor agrees that it shall not obtain a Lien on any asset or Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt unless concurrently therewith, the Senior Agent obtains a Lien on such asset or Collateral and the parties hereby agree that all such Liens are and will be subject to this Agreement. The Senior Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the other Senior Lenders, acknowledge and agree that the Subordinated Creditor has been granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Senior Agent has been granted Xxxxx and the Senior Agent hereby consents thereto subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The subordination of Liens and claims by the Subordinated Creditor in favor of the Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors shall not be deemed to subordinate any Subordinated Creditor’s Liens or claims to the Liens or claims of any other Person that is not a holder of Senior Debt or a permitted successor or assignee thereof.

(d) The grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents and the Subordinated Debt Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants. Because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the obligations under the Subordinated Debt Documents, to the extent deemed to be “secured claims” within the meaning of Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, are fundamentally different from the obligations under the Senior Debt Documents and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization in an Insolvency Proceeding. The Subordinated Creditor will not, directly or indirectly, seek in an Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the Senior Creditors and will not, directly or indirectly, oppose or contest any pleading by the Senior Creditor seeking separate classification of their respective secured claims. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of any of the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Creditor), the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, expenses and amounts before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Subordinated Creditor, with the Subordinated Creditor hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Agent, on behalf of Senior Creditors, amounts otherwise received or receivable by it to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Subordinated Creditor.

(e) In the event of any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral in connection with a Release Event at any time prior to the date upon which the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt shall have occurred, Subordinated Creditor agrees that such sale or disposition will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Subordinated Debt and, if the sale or other disposition includes equity interests in any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, Subordinated Creditor further agrees that it shall, with such cost and expense incurred in connection therewith being added to the Subordinated Debt, release the Persons whose equity interests are sold or otherwise disposed of from all Subordinated Debt; provided, that (a) the Senior Agent also releases its Liens on such Collateral (and, if the sale or other disposition includes equity interests in any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, the Senior Agent also releases such Persons whose equity interests are sold or otherwise disposed of from all of their obligations in respect of the Senior Debt) and (b) the net cash proceeds from such disposition are applied pursuant to Section 9. Subordinated Creditor agrees that, in connection with any such sale or other disposition, with such cost and expense incurred in connection therewith being added to the Subordinated Debt, (i) the Senior Agent is authorized to file any and all UCC Lien releases and/or terminations of the Liens or foreign law equivalents held by Subordinated Creditor in connection with such a sale or other disposition, and (ii) it will execute any and all Lien releases and releases of Subordinated Debt (including liabilities as borrower or guarantor or surety) or other documents reasonably requested by the Senior Agent in connection therewith and Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Senior Agent as its lawful attorneys in fact to execute any and all such Lien releases, Subordinated Debt releases and other documents.

(f) Upon any disposition in connection with clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of a Release Event or after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding (a “Distressed Disposal”), (I) the Senior Agent is irrevocably authorized (x) if the asset which is disposed of consists of all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of a Credit Party, to release (A) that Credit Party and, if all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of any of its Subsidiaries is disposed of, such Subsidiary, from all or any part of the Other Obligations and (B) any other claims of another Credit Party or a non-Credit Party affiliate over that Credit Party’s assets and/or over the assets of that Subsidiary, on behalf of the relevant Senior Creditors, Subordinated Creditor and Credit Parties, (y) if the asset which is disposed of consists of all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of any Credit Party and the Senior Agent decides to dispose of all or any part of the obligations owed by that Credit Party or, if all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of any of its Subsidiaries is disposed of, such Subsidiary, to execute and deliver or enter into any agreement to dispose of all or part of such obligations on behalf of, in each case, the relevant Senior Creditors, the Subordinated Creditor and the Credit Parties, or (z) if the asset which is disposed of consists of all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of a Credit Party (the “Disposed Credit Party”) and the Senior Agent decides to transfer to another Credit Party (the “Receiving Credit Party”) all or any part of the Disposed Credit Party’s obligations or, if all or substantially all of the shares in the capital of any of its Subsidiaries is disposed of, any obligation of such Subsidiary of the Disposed Credit Party in respect of the obligations of the Credit Parties, to execute and deliver or enter into any agreement to: (1) agree to the transfer of all or part of the obligations in respect of such obligations on behalf of the relevant Credit Parties to which those obligations are owed and on behalf of the Credit Parties which owe those obligations and (2) to accept the transfer of all or part of the obligations in respect of such obligations on behalf of the Receiving Credit Party or Receiving Credit Parties to which the obligations in respect of those obligations to be transferred; and (II) in connection with the dispositions and releases contemplated by clause (I), the Credit Parties shall release the Persons whose equity interests are sold or otherwise disposed of from all Guarantee Liabilities. The Subordinated Creditor and Credit Parties hereby appoint the Senior Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the Senior Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Subordinated Creditor and Credit Parties, as applicable, and in the name of the Subordinated Creditor or Credit Parties, as applicable, or in the Senior Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 2.06(f), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.06(f), including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

2.07 Sale, Transfer or other Disposition of Subordinated Debt.

(a) The Subordinated Creditor shall not assign or otherwise transfer their interests in the Subordinated Debt unless, prior to consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Senior Agent an agreement binding such transferee to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure of any such assignee or transferee to execute or deliver such a joinder, such assignee or transferee shall be bound by this Agreement as a “Subordinated Creditor”.

(b) The subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 13 hereof.

Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 19 hereof, the Subordinated Creditor will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of each Subordinated Debt Document, as well as any renewals or replacements thereof, a legend in substantially the following form:

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

2.09 Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. All rights and interest of the Senior Creditors hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Subordinated Creditor and the Obligors hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any document evidencing any of the Senior Debt;

(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Obligors in respect of the Senior Debt or any Subordinated Creditor in respect of this Agreement.

All of 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 the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the Liens securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, voided, avoided, unperfected, invalidated or disallowed.

3. Modifications.

3.01 Modifications to Senior Debt Documents. Without limiting any of the foregoing, the Senior Creditors, may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any Subordinated Creditor, without incurring liability to any Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment, extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Debt, or amend or restate in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Senior Debt.

5. Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The Senior Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agree to hold or control that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC, other applicable law or foreign law equivalent (such Collateral being referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”), as bailee and as a non-fiduciary agent for the Subordinated Creditor or the Senior Agent, as applicable (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2), 9- 313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC or any foreign law equivalent), solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted on the Collateral under the Subordinated Debt Documents or the Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5. Unless and until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, Subordinated Creditor agrees to promptly notify the Senior Agent of any Pledged Collateral held by it or by Subordinated Creditor, and, promptly upon the request of the Senior Agent, Subordinated Creditor agrees to deliver to the Senior Agent any such Pledged Collateral held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Senior Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral), with such cost and expense incurred in connection therewith shall be added to the Subordinated Debt.

(b) The Senior Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Subordinated Creditor to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any Obligor or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Agent under this Section 5 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and agent in accordance with this Section 5 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt as provided in clause (d) of this Section 5.

(c) The Senior Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5 shall not have by reason of the Senior Debt Documents, the Subordinated Debt Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Subordinated Creditor. The Subordinated Creditor acting pursuant to this Section 5 shall not have by reason of the Senior Debt Documents, the Subordinated Debt Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor.

(d) Upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, the Senior Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Subordinated Creditor to the extent the Subordinated Debt remains outstanding as confirmed in writing by the Subordinated Creditor, and, to the extent that the Subordinated Creditor confirms no Subordinated Debt is outstanding, second, to the Obligors to the extent no Senior Debt and no Subordinated Debt remains outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

(e) Upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, the Senior Agent shall deliver change notices (or similar documents) necessary to transfer control of deposit accounts from the Senior Agent, first, to the Subordinated Creditor to the extent the Subordinated Debt remains outstanding as confirmed in writing by the Subordinated Creditor, and, to the extent that the Subordinated Creditor confirm no Subordinated Debt is outstanding, second, to the Obligors to the extent no Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt remains outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such deposit accounts). Except as expressly set forth in the foregoing sentence and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, the Senior Agent shall have no obligation to (i) assign any deposit account control agreement with a third party to the Subordinated Creditor to the extent that the terms of such deposit account control agreement prohibit any such assignment or otherwise require the consent of such third party that is not granted or (ii) take any action to assist the Subordinated Creditor with respect to the replacement of any such deposit account control agreement that cannot be so assigned.

6. Representations and Warranties.

6.01 Representations and Warranties of Subordinated Creditor. The Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants to the Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors that as of the date hereof: (a) Subordinated Creditor is an entity duly formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation; (b) Subordinated Creditor has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; (c) the execution of this Agreement by the Subordinated Creditor will not violate or conflict with the organizational documents of the Subordinated Creditor, any material agreement binding upon the Subordinated Creditor or any material law, regulation or order or require any consent or approval which has not been obtained; and (d) this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against the Subordinated Creditor in accordance with its terms.

6.02 Representations and Warranties of Senior Agent. Senior Agent hereby represents and warrants to the Subordinated Creditor that as of the date hereof: (a) Senior Agent is an entity duly formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation; (b) it has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation binding the other Senior Creditors for which it is an agent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; and (c) the execution of this Agreement by Senior Agent will not violate or conflict with the organizational documents of Senior Agent, any material agreement binding upon Senior Agent or any material law, regulation or order or require any consent or approval which has not been obtained.

7. Subrogation; Recovery.

(a) After the date of Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, but at no time prior to such date, in the event and to the extent cash, property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall have been applied pursuant to this Agreement to the payment of Senior Debt, then and in each such event, the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies Subordinated Creditor may have under common law or otherwise against the Obligors, be subrogated to the rights of each holder of Senior Debt to receive any further payment or Distribution in respect of or applicable to the Senior Debt, and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment or Distribution to the holders of Senior Debt of any cash, property or securities to which any holder of Subordinated Debt would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the holders of Senior Debt by the holders of the Subordinated Debt shall, as between any Obligor, its creditors other than the Senior Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor, be deemed to be a payment by such Obligor to or on account of Senior Debt. A Distribution made pursuant to this Agreement to the Senior Agent or the Senior Creditors that otherwise would have been made to a Subordinated Creditor is not, as between the Obligors and Subordinated Creditor, a payment by the Obligors to or on account of the Senior Debt for purposes of determining whether a right of subrogation exists hereunder. Senior Agent and the other Senior Creditors shall have no obligation or duty to protect the Subordinated Creditor’s rights or subrogation arising pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable law or otherwise, nor shall Senior Agent or any other Senior Creditor be liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by the Subordinated Creditor. No priority or right of the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors or any other holder of Senior Debt shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or any other Person or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Senior Debt Documents or the Subordinated Debt Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors or any holder of Senior Debt may have.

(b) If any Senior Creditor determines that it is required to disgorge any proceeds of Collateral, payment or other amount received by such Person (whether because such proceeds, payment or other amount is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise) or turn over or otherwise pay any amount (a “Recovery”) to the estate or to any creditor or representative of an Obligor or any other Person, then the applicable Senior Debt shall be reinstated (to the extent of such Recovery) as if such Senior Debt had never been paid and to the extent any Subordinated Creditor has received proceeds, payments or other amounts to which Subordinated Creditor would not have been entitled under this Agreement had such reinstatement occurred prior to receipt of such proceeds, payments or other amounts, upon written demand (specifying the funds that were wrongfully paid to Subordinated Creditor, in reasonable detail) Subordinated Creditor shall turn over such proceeds, payments or other amounts to the Senior Agent (to be held and/or applied by the Senior Agent to the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Distributions were a payment thereunder until all Senior Debt is Paid in Full).

8. Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Subordinated Creditor hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Senior Debt Documents, or the creation or existence of any Senior Debt; (iii) notice of the amount of the Senior Debt; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase any Subordinated Creditor’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Senior Debt Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Senior Debt Documents or otherwise relating to the Senior Debt; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement) and demands to which any Subordinated Creditor might otherwise be entitled.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Subordinated Creditor waives the right by statute or otherwise to require the Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor or any holder of Senior Debt to institute suit against any Obligor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor or any holder of Senior Debt has or may have against any Obligor. Subordinated Creditor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt has occurred (subject to the provisions of Section 7)) of any Obligor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Obligor in respect thereof.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Subordinated Creditor hereby waives: (i) any rights to assert against the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors or any other holder of Senior Debt any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which any Subordinated Creditor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Obligor or any other party liable to the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors, any other holder of Senior Debt; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of any Senior Debt, any Subordinated Debt or any security for either; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors or any other holder of Senior Debt; and (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Subordinated Creditor’s obligations hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Senior Debt shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to any Subordinated Creditor’s obligations hereunder.

(d) Until such time as the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt shall have occurred, (i) Subordinated Creditor hereby waives and postpones any right of subrogation it has or may have as against any Obligor with respect to any Senior Debt; and (ii) in addition, Subordinated Creditor hereby waives and postpones any right to proceed against any Obligor or any other Person, now or hereafter, for contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other suretyship rights and claims (irrespective of whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent), with respect to any Senior Debt.

Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement

- 18 -

(e) Without limiting the generality of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors or any other holder of Senior Debt, even though that election of remedies has destroyed any Subordinated Creditor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any obligor by the operation of any applicable law.

(f) None of the Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor or any other holder of Senior Debt or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisors, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor honors (or fails to honor) a request by the Obligors for an extension of credit pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreements or any of the other Senior Debt Documents, whether the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Debt Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither the Senior Agent nor any Senior Creditor shall have any liability whatsoever to any Subordinated Creditor as a result of such action, omission, or exercise. The Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors will be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents as the Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Agent, each Senior Creditor and each other holder of Senior Debt may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Subordinated Creditor may have in the Collateral or otherwise. Subordinated Creditor agrees that none of the Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor or any other holder of Senior Debt shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof conducted in accordance with applicable law and the terms of this Agreement. The Senior Agent, each Senior Creditor and each holder of Senior Debt may from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with Obligors as they may determine in their sole discretion without impairing any of the subordinations, priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including substituting Collateral, releasing any Lien and releasing any Obligor. Subordinated Creditor waives any and all rights it may have to require the Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor or any holder of Senior Debt to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner or order, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order.
