2.The term “Subordinated Indebtedness” shall mean all existing and hereafter arising indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Subordinated Lender, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct, indirect or contingent, and all claims, rights, causes of action, judgments and decrees in respect of the foregoing, including, without limitation, arising out of, or in connection with, the Subordinated Loan or the Subordinated Loan Documents.
3.Subordinated Lender represents and warrants that as of the date of this Agreement, the aggregate Subordinated Indebtedness owing by Borrower to Subordinated Lender is $______________.
4.(a) Anything in the instruments or agreements evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 4(b) below with respect to Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments (as defined in Section 4(b) below), the payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness is and shall be expressly subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Indebtedness. No payments or other distributions whatsoever in respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made, nor shall any property or assets of the Borrower be applied to the purchase or other acquisition or retirement of any Subordinated Indebtedness, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full in cash. In addition, anything in the instruments or agreements evidencing Subordinated Indebtedness to the contrary notwithstanding, Subordinated Lender hereby subordinates all security interests that have been, or may be, granted by the Borrower to such Subordinated Lender in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any other indebtedness of Borrower to Subordinated Lender and any security interests granted to Subordinated Lender by operation of law or otherwise, to the security interests granted by the Borrower to the Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Indebtedness. Furthermore, Subordinated Lender will not in any manner challenge, contest or otherwise interfere with the security interests in and liens on the Collateral in favor of Senior Lender.
(b)The Subordinated Lender shall have the right to receive from the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments (defined below) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Lender Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the payment of any Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments will not cause an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If Subordinated Lender receives any Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments (or any other amounts) after the occurrence of an Event of Default or if the payment of any Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments will cause an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Subordinated Lender shall immediately pay such amounts over to Senior Lender for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash. As used herein, “Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments” means the regularly scheduled payments of principal and interest as more particularly set forth in the documents listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto.

6.Except for Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments which are allowed in accordance with Section 4(b) above, all of the Senior Indebtedness shall first be indefeasibly paid in full in cash before any payment on account of principal, premium or interest or otherwise is made upon or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Lender for application in payment of the Senior Indebtedness, unless and until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full in cash and Senior Xxxxxx advises Subordinated Lender in writing that Borrower has indefeasibly satisfied in full in cash, the Senior Indebtedness and that Senior Lender has terminated its security interests in and liens on the Collateral. Except for Subordinated Lender Permitted Payments which are allowed in accordance with Section 4(b) above, in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of Borrower shall be received by the Subordinated Lender before all Senior Indebtedness is indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be immediately paid over to Senior Lender, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
7.Until all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full, Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, Senior Lender as such Subordinated Xxxxxx’s true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Subordinated Lender, Senior Lender or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Senior Lender, to the extent permitted by law, to prove all claims relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness, either in the name of Senior Lender or in the name of Subordinated Lender, by proof of debt, proof of claim, suit or otherwise, to collect any assets of Borrower that secures the Senior Indebtedness and to receive and collect all distributions, securities, property and payments to which the Subordinated Lender would be otherwise entitled in a case under either under Chapter 11 or under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (a “Bankruptcy Case”).
8.Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees that it will not take any action that will impede, interfere with or restrict or restrain the exercise by Senior Lender of rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and will take such commercially reasonable actions as the holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Agreement. In furtherance thereof, the Subordinated Xxxxxx hereby agrees not to oppose Senior Xxxxxx’s relief from the automatic stay in any Bankruptcy Case and the exercise of any remedy by Senior Lender in any Bankruptcy Case, or for adequate protection in respect of the Senior Indebtedness, or other relief supported, by Senior Lender in any Bankruptcy Case.
9.Until all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full, Subordinated Lender shall have no right to participate in the adjustment or settlement of any insurance losses or condemnation claims with respect to the Collateral. Subordinated Xxxxxx hereby agrees to endorse in favor of Senior Lender any and all checks payable to Subordinated Lender which represent insurance and/or condemnation proceeds paid for claims relating to the Collateral in any manner. Until all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full, Subordinated Xxxxxx agrees, upon
3
request by Senior Xxxxxx, to assign to Senior Lender any and all insurance proceeds and condemnation awards payable to Subordinated Lender for claims relating to the Collateral. Until all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full, Subordinated Lender hereby appoints Senior Lender as Subordinated Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact to settle all insurance and/or condemnation claims relating to the Collateral and to receive all payments and endorse all checks with respect to such claims to the full extent of the Senior Indebtedness. Subordinated Lender shall have no right to possession of any portion of the Collateral or to foreclose upon any portion of the Collateral, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, in cash.
10.Subordinated Lender, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby expressly waives any right that it otherwise might have to require Senior Lender to marshal any of the property of Xxxxxxxx, to resort to Collateral in any particular order or manner, whether provided for by common law or statute, or to enforce any Lien given by Borrower as a condition precedent or concurrent to the exercise of any of its remedies.
11.Subordinated Lender expressly agrees that Senior Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, without notice to or consent of Subordinated Lender and without in any way releasing, affecting or impairing the obligations and liabilities of such Subordinated Lender or holder hereunder: (a) waive compliance with, or any default under, or grant any other indulgences with respect to, the Loan Documents; (b) modify, amend or change any provisions of the Loan Documents; (c) grant extensions or renewals of or with respect to the Loan Documents, and/or effect any release, compromise or settlement in connection therewith; (d) agree to the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of Borrower, or of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness (whether or not anything or any amount is received in return therefor); (e) make advances for the purpose of performing any term or covenant contained in the Loan Documents, with respect to which Borrower shall be in default; (f) assign or otherwise transfer the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Agreement, or any interest therein; and (g) deal in all respects with Borrower, the Senior Indebtedness or any Collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness as if this Agreement were not in effect. The obligations of Borrower and Subordinated Lender under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or priority of the Loan Documents or any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. No exercise or non-exercise by Senior Lender of any right given to it hereunder or under the Loan Documents, and no change, impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of Senior Lender, shall in any way affect any of Subordinated Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder or give Subordinated Lender any recourse against Senior Lender. No right of any current or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower; by any act or failure to act by any such holder, by any act or failure to act by any other holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or by any noncompliance by Borrower with the terms hereof, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
12.This Agreement is intended to be enforceable as a subordination agreement under Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.
4
13.The Subordinated Lender will execute such further documents or instruments and take such further action as the Senior Lender may request from time to time request to carry out the intent of this Agreement.
14.The Senior Lender may, from time to time, whether before or after any discontinuance of this Agreement, in its sole discretion and without notice to Subordinated Lender, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Indebtedness or any interest in the Senior Indebtedness; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer of the Senior Indebtedness, such Senior Indebtedness shall be and remain Senior Indebtedness for the purposes of this Agreement, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Indebtedness or of any interest in the Senior Indebtedness shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Indebtedness, be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the Senior Lender, as applicable; provided, however, that, unless the Senior Lender shall otherwise consent in writing, the Senior Lender shall have an unimpaired right, prior and superior to that of any such assignee or transferee, to enforce this Agreement, for the benefit of the Senior Lender, as to those of the Senior Indebtedness which the Senior Lender has not assigned or transferred.
15.Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness except with the prior written consent of Senior Lender and except to a Person who agrees in advance in writing, pursuant to an agreement in form acceptable to Senior Lender, to become a party hereto. Subordinated Lender shall give Senior Lender at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such proposed transfer stating the identity of the transferee and providing such other information as Senior Lender shall require.
00.Xx delay on the part of the Senior Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, and no single or partial exercise by the Senior Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise of such right or remedy or the exercise of any other right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement be binding upon the Senior Lender except as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered on behalf of the Senior Lender.
17.This Agreement shall be binding upon Subordinated Xxxxxx and upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of Subordinated Xxxxxx and the successors and assigns of the Senior Lender.
