Agreement, this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be deemed to
require the consent of such Guarantor to any future consents to the Credit
Agreement.

12.Amendment, Modification and Waiver.  This Agreement may not be amended,
modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and
delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

13.Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter

-20-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings,
both written and verbal, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof.  Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not
by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise
affect the rights and remedies of any party under, the Credit Agreement, nor

obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, all of
which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force
and effect.  It is understood and agreed that each reference in each Credit
Document to the Credit Agreement, whether direct or indirect, shall hereafter be

PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES HEREUNDER.

16.Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired
thereby.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not
invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery by telecopier or other
electronic means of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this

this Agreement.

ANNEX I
TO SECOND AMENDMENT AND INCREMENTAL JOINDER AGREEMENT

See attached.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Schedule 1.1(E)

Stateline Acquisition Indebtedness Terms

 

I.  Terms of Subordinated Seller Note (the “Seller Note”)

 

Borrower:

8point3 Operating Company, LLC

 

Lender:

First Solar Asset Management, LLC or any other wholly-owned subsidiary of First
Solar, Inc. (“Seller”)

 

Principal Note Amount:

Up to $50,000,000

 

Maturity:

6 months after the Maturity Date (the “Note Maturity Date”)

 

Amortization:

No scheduled amortization payments.  The entire outstanding principal balance of
the Seller Note will be due and payable on the Note Maturity Date.

 

Interest Rate:

4% per annum; provided that interest shall accrue at a rate of 6% per annum:

 

      (a)    in respect of all amounts outstanding under the Seller Note upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Note Event of Default (as
defined below); and

 

      (b)    in respect of the amount of any interest payment accrued as a PIK
(as defined below).

 

 

Interest Payments:

Quarterly in arrears, to be paid solely from amounts that would, at such time,
otherwise be permitted to be distributed as a Restricted Junior Payment pursuant
to Section 6.4(c) of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower (“Distributable
Cash”), such amounts, in any Fiscal Quarter, not to exceed the Quarterly
Prepayment Threshold (as defined below) for such Fiscal Quarter; provided that,
to the extent the Borrower does not have sufficient Distributable Cash to pay
any such Interest Payment in cash, the portion thereof not paid in cash shall be
accrued as a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) and added to the outstanding balance of the
Seller Note.  

 

Optional Prepayments:

None

 

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Mandatory Prepayment:

The Seller Note will set forth a schedule of values for each Fiscal Quarter
until the Note Maturity Date (each value, a “Quarterly Prepayment Threshold”)
which, in the case of each such Fiscal Quarter, will not exceed the amount for
such Fiscal Quarter set forth in the table attached at Appendix A to this
Schedule 1.1(E). 

 

Mandatory prepayments will be permitted, without premium or penalty:

 

(a)    at the end of each Fiscal Quarter, on the interest payment date, in an
amount not to exceed the sum of (i) the Quarterly Prepayment Threshold for such
Fiscal Quarter (less the amount of, and only after, interest paid in such Fiscal
Quarter), plus (ii) any portion of the Quarterly Prepayment Threshold for any
previous Fiscal Quarter which Borrower failed to use to pay interest or make a
mandatory prepayment for any reason; provided that all amounts allocated to such
mandatory prepayment constitute Distributable Cash; and

 

(b)    with 100% of any Net Equity Proceeds from the sale or issuance of any
common Equity Interests of the Partnership received by Borrower so long as no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result
therefrom and Borrower is in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants
treating such payment as a Restricted Junior Payment pursuant to Section 6.4(c)
of the Credit Agreement.

 

Any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (a) above may be waived at the
discretion of the Seller, and any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (b)
above may only be waived with the consent of the Required Lenders.

 

Priority of Payments:

No payment shall be made under the Seller Note in respect of any Fiscal Quarter
until all debt service due and payable on the Obligations for such Fiscal
Quarter has been paid in full.

 

Events of Default:

None until the Note Maturity Date, other than any event which would constitute
an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1(f) or 8.1(g) of the Credit
Agreement (each, a “Note Event of Default”).

 

Security:

None

 

Assignments:

Non-transferrable by Seller

 

Use of Proceeds:

The Seller Note may be issued and proceeds of the Seller Note used solely to pay
a portion of the consideration for the acquisition by Borrower, indirectly, of
100% of the Equity Interest of FSAM DS, which will indirectly own an
approximately 34% interest in the Stateline Project.

 

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

II.  Subordination Terms

 

Section 1.Definitions and Rules of Interpretation. Capitalized terms used herein
without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit
Agreement.  The rules of construction set forth in the Credit Agreement shall
apply to this document as if fully set forth herein.  In addition, the following
terms shall have the following meanings:

1.1

“Subordinated Lender” shall mean Seller and any other lender to whom any of the
Subordinated Indebtedness is owed and any holder of any document evidencing such
Subordinated Indebtedness, in each case, solely in such Person’s capacity as
such.

1.2

“Subordinated Indebtedness” shall mean any unsecured indebtedness of the
Borrower under the Seller Note.

1.3

“Termination Date” means the date on which (i) the Obligations (other than
contingent or indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have
been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, (ii) all Commitments shall have
terminated or expired and (iii) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
cancelled (other than Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or
supported by backstop letters of credit in accordance with Section 2.4(i)(ii) of
the Credit Agreement, or as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the
applicable Issuing Bank shall have been made).

Section 2.Ranking of Obligations.

2.1

Until the Termination Date, (i) the Subordinated Lender and the Borrower hereby
agree that all Subordinated Indebtedness is and shall be subordinated in right
of payment and liquidation in relation to all Obligations to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth, (ii) except as provided in Section 2.2 hereof,
no payments or other distributions whatsoever in respect of any part of the
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
part of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and (iii) the Subordinated Lender agrees
that it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or receive from or for the account
of the Borrower (whether directly or indirectly), by set-off or in any other
manner, payments in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any security
therefor, except with the prior written consent of the Required Lenders.

2.2

Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1 above, but without
limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the Credit
Documents, on or following the date of incurrence of the Subordinated
Indebtedness and until the Termination Date, the Borrower may make prepayments
of principal of, and payments of interest on, and other amounts owing in respect
of, the Subordinated Indebtedness solely out of and to the extent of any funds
permitted to be paid out as a dividend by the Borrower in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Documents and the Seller Note.

2.3

Payments of the Subordinated Indebtedness not payable by reason of Section 2.2
above shall be deferred until the date on which such payment may be made in
accordance with the terms hereof; provided that, in the event that the payment
of the Subordinated Indebtedness is so deferred or the conditions to payment
have not been satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof, such delay in
payment shall not constitute a default in respect of the Subordinated
Indebtedness.  Any amounts so deferred shall continue to constitute part of, or
shall be added to, the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated
Indebtedness, and shall accrue interest pursuant to the terms thereof.

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2.4

While the Seller Note remains outstanding, Borrower will not incur additional
Indebtedness to which the Seller Note would be subordinated (other than the
Obligations). 

Section 3.No Payment in Certain Circumstances. Until the Termination Date, and
without limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the
Credit Documents:

3.1

upon any distribution or application of the assets of the Borrower in connection
with any liquidation, dissolution or other proceeding for the winding up of the
Borrower (whether partial or complete) or any proceeding for insolvency or
bankruptcy (whether voluntary or involuntary) or any receivership,
reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, or
any assignment for the benefit of creditors or arrangement with creditors,
whether or not pursuant to the insolvency, bankruptcy or similar laws of any
jurisdiction, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Borrower or any other marshaling of assets and liabilities of the Borrower:

 

3.1.1

the Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification obligations for which
no claim has been made)  shall first be irrevocably and indefeasibly paid in
full in cash to the Secured Parties before the Subordinated Lender shall be
entitled to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness or
any other interests in the Borrower arising from the Subordinated Indebtedness
whether in cash, securities or other assets; and

 

 

3.1.2

any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character
in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness to which the Subordinated Lender
would be entitled if the Subordinated Indebtedness were not subordinated
pursuant to the terms hereof shall be made by the trustee, liquidator or agent
or other Person making such payment or distribution, directly to the Secured
Parties until the Obligations (other than contingent or indemnification
obligations for which no claim has been made) are irrevocably and indefeasibly
paid in full in cash and each of the Subordinated Lenders irrevocably authorizes
and empowers the Collateral Agent, acting for and on behalf of the Secured
Parties, to receive and collect on its behalf any and all such payments or
distributions, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to
any holder of Secured Obligations;

 

3.2

without limitation to the foregoing, in the event any of the conditions to the
Borrower’s ability to pay dividends under the Credit Documents are not
satisfied, then no payment of principal, interest or other amounts owing shall
be made by the Borrower on or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and
the Subordinated Lender agrees that it will not ask, demand, sue for, take or
receive from or for the account of the Borrower (whether directly or
indirectly), by set-off or in any other manner, or retain payment (in whole or
in part) of, the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any security therefor, until
dividend payments are permitted to be made by the Borrower in accordance with
the provisions of the Credit Documents; provided, however, that no Secured Party
or Subordinated Lender shall have any duty to the other party to act or refrain
from acting in a manner that may result in a Note Event of Default;

3.3

if, for any reason whatsoever and whether pursuant to a bankruptcy, liquidation
or similar proceeding or otherwise, the Borrower shall make or the Subordinated
Lender shall receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, securities or other property, on account or in respect of the
Subordinated Indebtedness in contravention of any of the terms set forth herein,
the Subordinated Lender shall hold any such payment or distribution in trust for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the
receipt of such payment or distribution and promptly pay over or deliver such
distribution or payment to the

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Collateral Agent or to any other Person nominated by the Collateral Agent, to
hold for the account of the Secured Parties.  In the event of failure of the
Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or assignment, the Collateral
Agent is irrevocably authorized by the Subordinated Lender to make the same;
provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to restrict any
rights of the Secured Parties to enforce in any manner provided under applicable
Law the obligation of the Subordinated Lender to make any such endorsement or
assignment; and 

3.4

notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Credit
Document, no payment or delivery shall be made to the Subordinated Lender of
securities or other obligations which are issued upon any merger, consolidation,
sale, lease, transfer or other disposal by any Person succeeding to the Borrower
or acquiring the Borrower’s property and assets, unless such securities or
obligations are pledged in favor of the Secured Parties and subordinate and
junior at least to the extent provided herein to the irrevocable and
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and to the payment of
any stock or obligations which are issued in exchange or substitution for any
such obligations.

Section 4.Authorizations to Collateral Agent. Until the Termination Date, and
without limitation to the rights of the Secured Parties under the terms of the
Credit Documents, the Subordinated Lender (i) irrevocably authorizes and
empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Collateral Agent to claim,
enforce, demand, sue for, collect and receive all payments and distributions on
or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness which are required to be paid or
delivered to any Secured Party, as provided herein, and to file and prove all
claims therefor, give receipts and take all such other action, in the name of
the Subordinated Lender or otherwise, necessary or appropriate for the
enforcement of these subordination provisions, (ii) irrevocably authorizes and
empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Collateral Agent to vote the
Subordinated Indebtedness in favor of or in opposition to any matter which may
come before any meeting of creditors of the Borrower generally or in connection
with, or in anticipation of, any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or
any proceeding under any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of
indebtedness, arrangements, reorganizations, compositions or extensions relative
to the Borrower, and (iii) agrees to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
all such further instruments reasonably required confirming the above
authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, assignments of
claim and other instruments, and to take all such other action, as may be
necessary or as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party in order to
enable the Collateral Agent (following the written instructions of the Required
Lenders or all of the Secured Parties, as the case may be) to enforce all claims
upon or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

Section 5.Bankruptcy Matters.

5.1

Bankruptcy.  This Schedule 1.1(E) shall be applicable both before and after the
filing of any petition by or against any Credit Party under the Bankruptcy Code
or any other Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in
respect thereof.  All references in this Schedule 1.1(E) to any Credit Party
will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver, trustee or
other estate representative for such Person in an Insolvency Proceeding.  This
Schedule 1.1(E) is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the
Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding (as
defined below).

5.2

Post-Petition Financing.  Until the irrevocable and indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all Obligations, if an Insolvency Proceeding has commenced, the
Subordinated Lender will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest, or
object to, and will be deemed to have consented to, and hereby consents in
advance to, (1) any use, sale, or lease of “cash collateral” (as defined in

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and (2) the Borrower or any other Credit
Party obtaining DIP Financing (as defined below) if the Secured Parties consent
to such use, sale, or lease, or DIP Financing.  The Subordinated Lender may not,
directly or indirectly, provide or propose, or support any other Person in
providing or proposing, DIP Financing to any other Credit Party (other than any
DIP Financing supported by the Secured Parties). 

5.3

Adequate Protection.  In any Insolvency Proceedings of Borrower, the
Subordinated Lender will not contest, protest, or object to (1) any request by a
Secured Party for “adequate protection” under any Bankruptcy Law, (2) an
objection by a Secured Party to a motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on
a Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection, or (3) any request by
any Secured Party for relief from any stay or other relief based upon a lack of
adequate protection or any other reason.

5.4

Certain Voting Rights.  The Subordinated Lender will not, without the consent of
the Administrative Agent, directly or indirectly propose, support or vote in
favor of any a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan
in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding that provides for treatment of the
Secured Parties, the Obligations or the Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner,
or that is otherwise, inconsistent with this Schedule 1.1(E).

5.5

Reorganization Securities.  Nothing in this Schedule 1.1(E) prohibits or limits
the right of the Subordinated Lender to receive and retain any debt or equity
securities that are issued by a reorganized debtor pursuant to a plan of
reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an
Insolvency Proceeding, provided that any debt or equity securities received
prior to the irrevocable and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all
Obligations on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be unsecured and
subordinated on the same terms as set forth in this Schedule 1.1(E).  

5.6

Post-Petition Interest. The Subordinated Lender shall not oppose or seek to
challenge any claim by any Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency
Proceeding of Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or
expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as the Secured Parties are
receiving payment in cash of all post-petition claims, nothing herein shall
preclude the Subordinated Lender from seeking allowance (but not current
payment) in any Insolvency Proceeding of post-petition interest, fees or
expenses on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

5.7

As used herein, “Insolvency Proceeding” means, as to any Credit Party, any of
the following: (a) any case, action or proceeding before any court or other
Governmental Authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or relief of debtors, or (b)
any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, marshaling of
assets for creditors, or other, similar arrangement in respect of its creditors
generally or any substantial portion of its creditors; in each case in (a) and
(b) above, undertaken under U.S. federal, state or foreign law, including the
Bankruptcy Code; and “DIP Financing” means the obtaining of credit or incurring
debt secured by Liens on all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to
section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar bankruptcy law).

Section 6.Non-Impairment. None of the Obligations shall be impaired by the
Secured Parties:

6.1

agreeing with the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender or any other Person as to
any amendment, variation, assignment, novation, extension or departure (however
substantial or material) of, to or from any Credit Document (including changing
the manner, place or terms of payment of or extending the time of payment of, or
renewing or altering, the Obligations, or otherwise

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

amending or supplementing in any manner the Obligations or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which the Obligations are
outstanding, or any Credit Document) so that any such amendment, variation,
assignment, novation or departure shall, whatever its nature, be binding upon
the Subordinated Lender in all circumstances; 

6.2

releasing, granting any time, any indulgence or any waiver of any kind to, or
composition with, the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender or any other Person
(including, without limitation, the waiver of any preconditions for drawing
under, or of any breach of, the Credit Documents or the exercise or the failure
to exercise any rights against the Borrower and any other Person), or entering
into any transaction or arrangements whatsoever with or in relation to the
Borrower, the Subordinated Lender and/or any other Person;

6.3

taking, accepting, varying, dealing with, exchanging, renewing, enforcing,
failing to enforce, take up or perfect, abstaining from enforcing, surrendering
or releasing any security, right of recourse, set-off or combination or other
right, remedy or interest held by the Secured Parties in connection with the
Secured Obligations or any part thereof, or acting in relation to the Financing
Documents in such manner as it thinks fit;

6.4

failing to present or observe any formality or other requirement in respect of
any
instrument or any failure to realize the full value of any security;

6.5

claiming, proving for, accepting or transferring any payment in respect of the
Obligations in any composition by, or winding up of, the Borrower, the
Subordinated Lender and/or any other Person or abstaining from so claiming,
proving for, accepting or transferring; or

6.6

actually or purportedly assigning all or any portion of the Obligations to any
other Person.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no change of law or
circumstances shall release or diminish any of the Subordinated Lender’s
obligations, liabilities, agreements or duties hereunder, affect the provisions
set forth herein in any way, or afford the Subordinated Lender any recourse
against any of the Secured Parties.

Section 7.Benefit of Subordination Provisions. These subordination provisions
are intended solely to define the relative rights of the Secured Parties, the
Subordinated Lender, and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.  These subordination provisions are made for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, and the Secured Parties are hereby made beneficiaries hereunder as if
named herein as such and may enforce the provisions hereof as if they and/or
each of them were a party hereto.  Nothing contained in these subordination
provisions relating to the  Subordinated Indebtedness is intended to or shall
(as between the Subordinated Lender and the Borrower):

7.1

impair, as among the Borrower and the Subordinated Lender, the obligation of the
Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Subordinated Lender
(subject to the rights of the Secured Parties) the Subordinated Indebtedness as
and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms;

7.2

affect the relative rights of the Subordinated Lender; or

7.3

prevent the Subordinated Lender from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon a Note Event of Default in respect of the Subordinated
Indebtedness, subject to Sections 2 and 3 hereof and the rights, if any, of the
Secured Parties under these subordination provisions

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 7

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to receive the cash, property, securities or other assets of the Borrower
received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 

Section 8.Subordination of Liens. Without limitation of any other provisions of
this Schedule, the Borrower shall not create or suffer to exist any Lien on any
of its Property benefiting the Subordinated Indebtedness. If in contravention of
this Section 8, any such Liens shall now or hereafter secure or benefit the
Subordinated Indebtedness, whether arising by statute, in law or equity or by
contract, then, without limiting any of the Secured Parties’ rights in respect
of such breach, such Lien shall and is hereby expressly subordinated and made
secondary and inferior to the Liens now or hereafter securing or benefiting the
Obligations.

Section 9.Reinstatement. If any payment to any of the Secured Parties by the
Borrower or any other Person in respect of any of the Obligations is held to
constitute a preference or a voidable transfer under applicable Law, or if for
any other reason any Secured Party is required to refund such payment to the
Borrower or to such Person or to pay the amount thereof to any other Person,
such payment to such Secured Party shall not constitute a release of the
Subordinated Lender from any of its liability hereunder, and the Subordinated
Lender agrees and acknowledges that the provisions set forth herein shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, to the
extent of any such payment or payments.

Section 10.Restrictions on Transfers. Neither the Borrower nor the Subordinated
Lender may transfer (by sale, novation or otherwise) any of its rights or
obligations under the Subordinated Indebtedness.

Section 11.Agreements of Subordinated Lenders. The Subordinated Lender shall:

11.1

until the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent or
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), promptly deliver
to the Administrative Agent copies of each amendment or modification to any
agreement relating to the Subordinated Indebtedness agreed to which the
Subordinated Lender is a party;

11.2

until the Obligations have been paid in full (other than contingent or
indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), cause to be
clearly inserted in any instrument which at any time evidences any part of the
Subordinated Indebtedness owing to the Subordinated Lender a statement to the
effect that the payment thereof is subordinated in accordance with the terms of
this Schedule 1.1(E); and

11.3

at its reasonable cost, (to be reimbursed by the Borrower) file all documents or
instruments necessary or advisable and do all things as any Secured Party may
reasonably request in order to carry out more effectively the intent and purpose
of these subordination provisions.

Section 12.Waiver of Subrogation.

12.1

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document,
and without in any way limiting the rights of any Person arising under any
Project Obligation, until the Termination Date, the Subordinated Lender
irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now have or hereafter
acquire against the Borrower or any other Credit Party that arise from the
existence or performance by any such Person of the Secured Obligations including
any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured
Parties against the Borrower or any Credit Party, or any security which the
Secured Parties may now have or hereafter acquire, by any payment made hereunder
or otherwise, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower,

SCHEDULE 1.1(E) - 8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. 

12.2

For the purposes of such waiver of subrogation, any payments or distributions to
the Secured Parties of any cash, property or securities to which the
Subordinated Lender would be entitled except for these provisions shall, as
between the Borrower and the Subordinated Lender and their respective other
creditors, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrower to or on account of the
Secured Obligations.

Section 13.Amendment.  These subordination provisions may not be amended,
modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the Subordinated
Lender and the Required Lenders.
