cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise, before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in
full in cash, which is required to be paid to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall
be held in trust for the benefit of and immediately shall be paid over to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness or the Senior Indebtedness Representative for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in

Indebtedness Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact for such limited purpose;

Indebtedness the right to vote on behalf of any Noteholder in any Insolvency Proceedings.

the provisions thereof, nor shall anything herein, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.4,
prevent the Noteholders or the Noteholder Collateral Agent from exercising all remedies otherwise

pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, be subrogated to the rights of the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company or any Guarantor
made on Senior Indebtedness (and any security therefor) until the Subordinated Obligations shall be
paid in full (and, for this purpose, no such payments or distributions paid or delivered to the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness or to the Senior Indebtedness Representative, or otherwise
applied to the Senior Indebtedness, shall be deemed to have discharged the Subordinated
Obligations), and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness or to the Senior Indebtedness Representative of any cash, assets, stock, or
obligations to which the Noteholders would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article II
shall, as between the Company and the Guarantors, any of their respective creditors (other than the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness), and the Noteholders, be deemed to be a payment by the Company
or any Guarantor to or on account of Senior Indebtedness. The fact that failure to make any
payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations is caused by reason of the operation of any
provision of this Article II shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

Section 2.8 Payments on Senior Indebtedness. In the event that any Noteholder
determines in good faith that evidence is required with respect to the right of any holder of the
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution from such Noteholder
pursuant to this Article II or the amount of such participation, such Noteholder may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of such Noteholder as to the amount of
Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate
in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under
this Article II, and if such evidence is not furnished, such Noteholder may defer any payment to
such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment;
provided that, upon the written request of such Person to such Noteholder, such payment
shall be made to the court having jurisdiction over such judicial determination or to another
Person mutually satisfactory to such Person and such Noteholder, as escrowee, to be held and
invested pending such judicial determination in accordance with such instructions as shall be
mutually satisfactory to such Person and such Noteholder and, upon such judicial determination
becoming final and non-appealable, to be distributed in accordance therewith to the Person entitled
thereto.



Section 2.9 Notice of Acceleration, Enforcement Action.



(a) Each Noteholder agrees that in the event any Event of Default shall occur, and as a result
thereof, any Noteholder accelerates maturity of any NPA Note, then such Noteholder shall give
prompt (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) notice thereof in writing to the Senior
Indebtedness Representative with a copy to the Noteholder Collateral Agent. Neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary may pay the NPA Notes until ten (10) Business Days after the Senior Indebtedness
Representative receives the notice described above and, after that ten (10) Business Day period,
may pay the NPA Notes, and the Noteholders may receive or collect such payment, only if the
provisions of this Article II do not prohibit such payment at that time.



(b) Each Noteholder and the Noteholder Collateral Agent agree that in the event any Event of
Default shall occur and, as a result thereof, such Noteholder or the Noteholder Collateral Agent
intends to commence any Enforcement Action, then such Noteholder or the Noteholder Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, shall first deliver notice thereof in writing to the Senior Indebtedness
Representative (with a copy (x) to the Noteholder Collateral Agent, if such notice is being given
by one or more Noteholders, or (y) to each Noteholder, if such notice is being given by the
Noteholder Collateral Agent) both (i) not less than ten (10) days prior to taking any such
Enforcement Action, and (ii) one (1) Business Day after such Enforcement Action is taken.



Section 2.10 Reinstatement. The provisions of this Article II shall remain in force
and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness and the termination of
all commitments of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to make loans or extensions of credit,
and the expiration, termination or cash-collateralization of all letters of credit issued by any
holder of the Senior Indebtedness. To the extent any payment of or distribution in respect of the
Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as proceeds
of security or enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be paid to the Company or any Subsidiary or any receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then if such payment or
distribution is recovered by, or paid over to, the Company or any Subsidiary or such receiver,
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Senior Indebtedness
or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and
outstanding as if such payment has not occurred and the provisions of this Article II shall
continue to be applicable in respect of said reinstated Senior Indebtedness.


 


12









 





Section 2.11 Rights of Holders of the Senior Indebtedness. The holders of the Senior
Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time subject to the terms of the Senior
Indebtedness, without the consent of or notice to the Noteholders or the Noteholder Collateral
Agent, without incurring responsibility to the Noteholders and without impairing or releasing the
subordination or other benefits provided in this Article II or the obligations hereunder of the
Noteholders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (a)
change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew, increase
(but not in excess of the cap provided for in the definition of “Senior Indebtedness”), alter or
amend, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any covenant or agreement under
which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding or secured or any liability of any obligor thereon; (b)
sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Indebtedness; (c) settle or compromise any Senior Indebtedness or any liability of
any obligor thereon or release any Person liable in any manner for the payment of Senior
Indebtedness; and (d) waive any default under Senior Indebtedness and exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Person. The foregoing
provisions are not intended to permit a change to the definition of “Senior Indebtedness”.



Section 2.12 Liens.



(a) All Liens granted by the Company, or, if applicable, any Guarantor, which at any time
secure the Note Agreement, any NPA Note or any other Note Security Document are hereby made, and
will at all times prior to the full payment or discharge of the Senior Indebtedness be subject and
subordinate to all Liens granted by the Company or any Guarantor which at any time secure the
Senior Indebtedness, which subordination shall be effective whether or not all such Liens securing
Senior Indebtedness have been properly recorded, filed and otherwise perfected prior to all such
Liens securing any NPA Note and regardless of the relative priority of such Liens as determined
without regard to this Article II. The mortgages included in the Bank Loan Documents do (and other
mortgages, security agreements and similar documents may) describe the indebtedness secured thereby
in a manner which might include indebtedness other than the Senior Indebtedness. For so long as
any NPA Note is outstanding, as between the Noteholders and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness,
only the Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by any Liens granted under the Bank Loan
Documents.



(b) Each Noteholder agrees that it will not initiate, join in or prosecute any claim, action
or other proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness or the
Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness.



(c) So long as this Agreement remains in effect, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has
been commenced by or against the Company or any Subsidiary, the parties hereto agree that the
Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to:


 


13









 





(i) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Subordinated
Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure
the Senior Indebtedness (it being understood that, to the extent that the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.12(c)(i) are not complied with for any reason, the Noteholder Collateral Agent and
the Noteholders agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as
a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.12(c)(i) shall be subject to the
penultimate sentence of Section 2.2); or



(ii) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Senior
Indebtedness unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to
secure the Subordinated Obligations.



(d) The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the collateral securing the
Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Obligations be identical. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:



(i) upon request by the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Noteholder Collateral Agent,
to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to
time in order to determine the specific items included in the collateral and the steps taken to
perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under
the Bank Loan Documents and the Note Documents; and



(ii) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the collateral for the Senior
Indebtedness and the Subordinated Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of
documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature of the obligations
thereunder.



Section 2.13 Asset Sales. Each Noteholder agrees that it will not take any action
that would hinder any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property of the Company or any
Subsidiary so long as such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with Section 6.8 of the
Bank Agreement, as in effect on the Date of Closing.




Section 2.14 Purchase of Senior Indebtedness.



The Senior Indebtedness Representative, on behalf of itself and the Banks (and, where
appropriate with regard to the Eligible Swap Agreements, their respective Affiliates), and the
Company hereby agree with the Noteholders that, if the Senior Indebtedness Representative delivers
a Payment Default Notice to the Noteholders, then the Noteholders may (but shall not be obligated
to) purchase the Senior Indebtedness and all of the rights, titles and interests of the Senior
Indebtedness Representative and the Banks under the Bank Loan Documents, by giving notice of one or
more Noteholders’ intent to buy within ten days after delivery of such Payment Default Notice and
consummating such sale within thirty days after the delivery of such Payment Default Notice for a
price in immediately available funds equal to the unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the
Senior Indebtedness, the cash collateralization amount of outstanding letters of credit under the
Bank Loan Agreement at par value plus 5%, all other amounts then due to the Senior Indebtedness
Representative and the Banks under the Bank Loan Agreement and all unpaid amounts and Swap
Termination Value payments due to the Banks (and their respective
Affiliates, where appropriate) of the Eligible Swap Agreements, all subject to documentation
reasonably acceptable to the Senior Indebtedness Representative, the Banks and the Noteholders, but
without any necessity for any consent from the Company or any Guarantor.

ARTICLE III



MISCELLANEOUS




Section 3.1 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and
no action taken by any party to this Agreement pursuant hereto, is intended to constitute or shall
be deemed to constitute the Noteholders and the Banks (or any of them) a partnership, association,
joint venture or other entity.



Section 3.2 Possessory Collateral. The Senior Indebtedness Representative agrees to
hold 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 Uniform Commercial Code (such collateral being the “Pledged
Collateral”), as collateral agent for the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and as bailee for the
Noteholder Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code) solely for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Bank Loan Documents and the Note
Documents, respectively. The parties agree that the Senior Indebtedness Representative shall have
no fiduciary duties to the Noteholder Collateral Agent or the Noteholders with respect to the
Pledged Collateral and that its sole duty to the Noteholder Collateral Agent and the Noteholders
with respect to the Pledged Collateral shall be to use the same degree of care that it uses at the
time with respect to its holding of similar collateral for its own account.




Section 3.3 Notices; Identification of Lenders.



(a) Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests and other communications to any
party hereunder (including, without limitation, those given to the Noteholder Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3) shall be in writing (including overnight delivery service,
facsimile copy or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address or facsimile
number specified on the signature pages hereof, or such other address or facsimile number as such
party may hereafter specify in writing for the purpose by notice to the other parties hereto. All
such notices and other communications shall, when mailed, delivered by overnight delivery service
or transmitted by facsimile, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the overnight
delivery service or transmitted by facsimile with receipt confirmed and with a copy sent by mail or
overnight delivery service, respectively.



(b) Until notified otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3, each party
hereto shall be entitled to assume, for all purposes hereunder, that the name and address of each
other party hereto is as set forth for such other party on the signature pages hereto or to the
applicable Supplement hereto. Upon the request from time to time of the Senior Indebtedness
Representative, the Company shall provide to the Senior Indebtedness Representative, within five
Business Days after such request, a copy of the registry of Noteholders maintained by the Company
in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement.


 


15









 





Section 3.4 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or
waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by (a) the Required
Noteholders, (b) the Senior Indebtedness Representative or the Required Banks, and (c) if the
rights or duties of the Noteholder Collateral Agent are affected thereby, the Noteholder Collateral
Agent.



Section 3.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute a single
agreement, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto were upon the same instrument.



Section 3.6 Benefits. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of and shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their successors or assigns, and no other Person or entity
(other than the Company, but only to the extent expressly set forth herein) shall have any right,
benefit, priority or interest under or by reason of this Agreement. No Noteholder or Bank shall
assign its rights under the Note Documents or the Bank Loan Documents, as the case may be, without
causing the assignee of such rights to execute a joinder agreement in substantially the form of
Attachment A hereto (with appropriate revisions to such form in the case of an assignment
by a Bank). Each Noteholder acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Article II are, and are
intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of the Senior Indebtedness to
make, extend and continue the credit constituting the Senior Indebtedness; and each holder of the
Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied upon the provisions of Article II
in permitting the Company and the Guarantors to incur the Subordinated Obligations and in making,
extending, continuing and/or acquiring such Senior Indebtedness.



Section 3.7 Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect until all Senior Indebtedness
is paid in full and no Bank shall have any commitment to lend or otherwise extend credit under the
Bank Loan Agreement and all letters of credit issued by any holder of Senior Indebtedness have
expired, terminated or become fully collateralized in cash.



Section 3.8 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK EXCEPT THAT THE RIGHTS, DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF ANY SUCCESSOR NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL AGENT
HEREUNDER AS AN AGENT FOR THE NOTEHOLDERS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH SUCH
SUCCESSOR NOTEHOLDER COLLATERAL AGENT HAS ITS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS.
