The Obligors shall give Junior Lender prompt notice of the occurrence of any Senior Default and of any cure, waiver or other termination thereof; provided, that the failure of any Obligor to give any such notice shall not affect the subordination provisions of this Agreement or the relative rights of Senior Lender and Junior Lender under this Agreement.

			would be permitted to accept such payment under Section 2.3 and (ii) such demand does not violate any term of this Agreement other than the standstill provisions provided in this Section 2.4.  




			
	
			
				 2.5

Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, and anything contained in the Junior Debt Documents or any of the Senior Debt Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Junior Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of Senior Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of Senior Lender), agree to any amendment or supplement to, or other modification of, the Junior Debt Documents or the Junior Debt except as provided in Section 4 and amendments that are purely administrative or ministerial in nature and that could not be expected to adversely affect the Borrower or the rights and interests of the Senior Lender.  




			
	
			
				 2.6
			Incorrect Payments.  If any payment or distribution on account of the Junior Debt not permitted to be made by the Obligors or received by Junior Lender under this Agreement is received by Junior Lender before all Senior Debt is Paid in Full (including any proceeds of a Collection Action), such payment or distribution shall be held in trust by Junior Lender for the benefit of all holders of Senior Debt and shall be promptly paid over to Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Senior Lender), or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Senior Financing Agreement or the applicable Permitted Refinancing Loan Document) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.

				 3.1
			Lien Priorities.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Subordination; Etc.  Notwithstanding (i) the time, manner, order or method of grant, creation, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Junior Debt granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the Senior Debt granted on the Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the security interests and Liens granted in favor of Senior Lender on the Collateral, (iii) the date on which any Senior Debt is extended, (iv) any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law, including any rule for determining priority thereunder or under any other law or rule governing the relative priorities of secured creditors, including with respect to real property or fixtures, (v) any provision set forth in any Senior Debt Document (other than this Agreement), (vi) the possession or control by Senior Lender or any bailee of all or any part of any Collateral as of the date hereof or otherwise, or (vii) any other circumstance whatsoever, Senior Lender and Junior Lender hereby agrees that:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			any Lien on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Senior Lender or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the Junior Debt; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Junior Lender or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Debt.




		
			All Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Debt shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Junior Debt for all purposes.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Senior Debt (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class or classes (and separate and distinct claims) from the Junior Debt (and the security therefor) in any Proceeding or otherwise.
		

			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Junior Lender agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Proceeding), (i) the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of Senior Lender in the Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document, or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt granted and/or established in this Agreement or any Senior Debt Document with respect to such Liens; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of Senior Lender to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt as provided in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.2(a).




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			No New Liens.  So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, the parties hereto agree that no Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any property or assets of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries to secure any Junior Debt unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants a Lien on such asset

			or property to secure the Senior Debt; provided that to the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Senior Lender, Junior Lender agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to it pursuant to or as a result of Liens on the Collateral granted in contravention of this Section 3.1(c) shall be subject to Section 3.3(a).




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Effectiveness of Lien Priorities.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Lien priorities provided for in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, on account of:  (i) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Debt Documents; or (ii) any amendment, change or modification of any Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Debt Documents, in each case, in a manner not prohibited by this Agreement.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Similar Liens and Agreements.  The parties hereto agree that the Collateral securing the Junior Debt shall not be more extensive than the Collateral securing the Senior Debt.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Junior Lender agrees, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			upon reasonable request by Senior Lender to cooperate (and to direct their respective counsel to cooperate) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Collateral securing the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt and the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Debt Documents; and




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			that the Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Debt Documents creating Liens on the Collateral shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the priority nature of the Liens created thereunder in such Collateral or as otherwise approved in writing by Senior Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of Senior Lender).




			
	
			
				 3.2
			Exercise of Remedies.    




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			In connection with any Senior Enforcement Action, so long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, whether or not a Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries:




		
			Junior Lender will not (A) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by Senior Lender with respect to, or any other exercise by Senior Lender of any rights and remedies relating to, the Collateral under the respective Senior Debt Documents or otherwise, or (B) object to the forbearance by Senior Lender from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral;
		

		
			Senior Lender shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off and the right to credit bid its debt) and make 
		

		 


		

			SFDOCS01/318383.413Midway – Subordination Agreement

		




 


		

			 

		




		determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of Junior Lender, and Senior Lender shall have no obligation to marshal assets;  
		

		
			In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, Senior Lender may enforce the provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole commercial discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by it to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under all applicable bankruptcy or other laws.
		

			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Junior Lender shall be entitled to do any of the following without the consent or any notice to the Senior Lender (collectively, the “Permitted Non-Blockable Actions”):




		
			make any demand for payment (provided that payment shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement), charge any default rate of interest otherwise permitted hereunder, or deliver notices of default or reservations of rights or any Junior Default Notices;
		

		
			in any Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor or any or its subsidiaries, file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Junior Debt;
		

		
			take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, or the rights of Senior Lender to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;
		

		
			file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of Junior Lender, including without limitation any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement; 
		

		
			file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of any Loan Party or its subsidiaries arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case, except as otherwise specifically prohibited elsewhere in this Agreement and provided that such is not adverse to the prior Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, or the rights of Senior Lender to exercise remedies in respect thereof;
		

		
			
		

		 


		

			SFDOCS01/318383.414Midway – Subordination Agreement

		




 


		

			 

		




		take any action to the extent necessary to prevent the running of any applicable statute of limitation or similar restriction on claims, or to assert a compulsory cross-claim or counterclaim against any Obligor;
		

		
			take any action to seek and obtain specific performance or injunctive relief to compel any Obligor to comply with (or not violate or breach) an obligation under the Junior Debt Documents, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and so long as such action does not require the making of any payments of any Junior Debt or any other monetary payment by any Obligor;
		

		
			vote on any plan of reorganization (including a vote to accept or reject a plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), filing any proof of claim, making other filings and making any arguments and motions that are, in each case, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;  
		

		
			join (but not exercising control over) a judicial foreclosure or Senior Enforcement Action proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the Senior Lender provided, that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere with any Senior Enforcement Action of the Senior Lender, and provided, further, that Junior Lender may not receive any proceeds thereof unless permitted herein;
		

		
			permit the release, discharge or lapse of any lien of Junior Lender;
		

		
			enforce the terms of any subordination agreement with respect to any indebtedness subordinated to the Junior Debt to the extent that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere with any Senior Enforcement Action of the Senior Lender; 
		

		
			with respect to any public disposition of Collateral, credit bid on any Collateral in which Junior Lender has a lien, in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law, so long as such bid includes a cash purchase price component payable at the closing of the sale in an amount that would be sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Senior Debt and any order approving such sale requires such amount to be so applied; or
		

		
			inspecting or appraising the Collateral or requesting information or reports concerning the Collateral pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents.
		

			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Junior Lender agrees that it will not take any action as a secured party that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Senior Debt Documents with 
		

		 


		

			SFDOCS01/318383.415Midway – Subordination Agreement

		






 


		

			 

		




			respect to the Collateral, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Senior Debt Document or subordinate the priority of the Senior Debt or grant the Liens securing the Junior Debt equal ranking to the Liens securing any of the Senior Debt.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			

			
	
			
			Junior Lender hereby waives any and all rights it may have solely in its capacity as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which Senior Lender seeks to enforce or collect the Senior Debt or the Liens granted in any of the Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any of Senior Lender is adverse to the interest of Junior Lender.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			

			
	
			
			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, nothing in this Article 3 shall restrict or otherwise impede the Junior Lender from exercising its rights and remedies as a secured creditor under the Junior Debt Documents so long as the Junior Lender is otherwise complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.




			
	
			
				 (f)
			

			
	
			
			To the extent any payment with respect to any Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of any Loan Party, as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, the Junior Lender, a receiver or similar Person, whether in connection with any Proceeding or otherwise, then the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, for the purposes of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender, be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.  To the extent that any interest, fees, expenses or other charges (including without limitation, post-petition interest) to be paid pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents are disallowed by order of any court, including without limitation by order of a bankruptcy court in any Proceeding, such interest, fees, expenses and charges (including without limitation post-petition interest) shall, as between the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender, be deemed to continue to accrue and be added to the amount to be calculated as the outstanding Senior Debt obligations.




			
	
			
				 3.3
			Payments.  




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, the Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies (including without limitation in connection with any Proceeding involving any Obligor), shall be applied in the following order of priority:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			first, to the Senior Debt (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include all Senior Secured Obligations other than the portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) in excess of the First Lien Loan Cap) and for cash collateral as required under the Senior 
		

		 


		

			SFDOCS01/318383.416Midway – Subordination Agreement

		






 


		

			 

		




			Debt Documents, and in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Debt Documents; 




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			second, to the Junior Debt in such order as specified in the relevant Junior Debt Documents until the Junior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full; and




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			

			
	
			
			third, to remaining Senior Secured Obligations (if any) owing under the Senior Debt Documents until the Senior Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Senior Collateral Agent shall deliver to Junior Lender, without representation or recourse, any items of Collateral in its possession or under its control, any proceeds of Collateral held by it at such time in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by Junior Lender in such order as specified in the relevant Junior Debt Documents.  The foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective lien priorities as between Senior Lender and Junior Lender and shall not impose on Senior Lender any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law.




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, and except for Permitted Junior Debt Payments made in accordance with Section 2.3(a), any payments, from Collateral or any proceeds thereof (or any distribution in respect of the Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) or otherwise, received by Junior Lender, whether in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off or any other Collection Action permitted hereunder) relating to the Collateral (excluding any Reorganization Subordinated Securities) or otherwise, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Senior Lender) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Senior Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for Junior Lender to the extent Junior Lender fails to make any such endorsement within three (3) Business Days of such request by Senior Collateral Agent.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

			the exercise of Senior Lender’s remedies in respect of any Collateral provided for in Section 3.2(a), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral, but

			so long as such sale, lease, exchange or other disposition is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner; or




			
	
			
				 (B)
			

			
	
			
			any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral permitted under both the terms of any Senior Debt Document and the terms of any Junior Debt Document;




		
			Senior Lender releases all of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of Junior Lender on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and Junior Lender, promptly shall execute and deliver to Senior Lender such termination statements, releases and other documents as the relevant Person may request to effectively confirm such release; provided,  however, that each of the Senior Lender’s and the Junior Lender’s liens shall continue to attach to the proceeds of such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition with the same priority as contemplated by this Agreement. The Senior Lender shall promptly apply the proceeds of any such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition in accordance with Section 3.3(a) hereof.
		

			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			Until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, Junior Lender hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Senior Lender and any officer or agent of Senior Lender, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Junior Lender, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.4(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4(a), including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.




			
	
			
				 (iii)
			

			
	
			
			Until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt occurs, to the extent that Senior Lender (a) has released any Lien on Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (b) obtains any new Liens on assets constituting Collateral from any Loan Party or its subsidiaries, then Junior Lender shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral to the extent the Junior Debt Documents contemplate a Lien on such Collateral.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Insurance.  Unless and until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt has occurred, Senior Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of each Loan Party and its subsidiaries under the Senior Debt Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral with regard to any loss suffered in respect of any Collateral covered thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Collateral. So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, all proceeds of any such policy shall first be paid to Senior Lender to the extent required under the Senior Debt Documents before any amount is paid to Junior Lender. Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, if Junior Lender shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall pay such proceeds over to Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Senior Lender) for application in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3.

				 (i)
			

			
	
			
			Senior Collateral Agent 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 UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for Junior Lender and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Senior Debt Documents and the Junior Debt Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4(c); provided,  however, that Senior Lender shall not owe a duty of care to Junior Lender and shall have no responsibility to treat or handle such collateral other than in accordance with its standard practices.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
			

			
	
			
			Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, Senior Lender shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

				 (iii)
			

			
	
			
			Senior Lender, acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall not have by reason of the Senior Debt Documents, the Junior Debt Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship of or any liability to Junior Lender in connection with its holding the Pledged Collateral, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.




			
	
			
				 (iv)
			

			
	
			
			Upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, Senior Collateral Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, (A) first, to Junior Lender to the extent that Junior Debt remains outstanding and (B) second, to the applicable Obligor of the relevant Lien to the extent no Senior Debt or Junior Debt remains outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) and will cooperate with such Person, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by Senior Lender or agent or bailee thereof and without any obligation of Senior Lender to incur expenses) control over any other Pledged Collateral under its control.

			Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any Junior Debt remains outstanding upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, all rights of Senior Lender hereunder and under the Senior Debt Documents (A) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the Collateral, and (B) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of such Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of Junior Lender or Senior Lender, pass to Junior Lender (it being understood that the Junior Lender shall have no obligation to exercise any such rights).

			When Payment in Full of Senior Debt Deemed to Not Have Occurred.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if concurrently with (or immediately after) the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any Senior Debt, then such Senior Debt shall automatically be deemed not to have been Paid in Full for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Senior Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein. 




			
	
			
				 3.5
			Proceedings.




			
	
			
				 (a)
			

			
	
			
			Enforceability and Continuing Priority.   This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof.  The relative rights of Senior Lender and Junior Lender in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Proceeding.  Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.




			
	
			
				 (b)
			

			
	
			
			Financing.  If any Obligor shall be subject to any Proceeding and Senior Lender consents to the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; herein, “Cash Collateral”), on which Senior Lender has a Lien or to permit any Obligor to obtain financing provided by Senior Lender under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (such financing, together with any Cash Collateral use, collectively a “DIP Financing”), then Junior Lender agrees to such Cash Collateral use and will raise no objection to such DIP Financing and to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Debt are discharged, subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, Junior Lender will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing.  Junior Lender agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide, or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Senior Debt.  




			
	
			
				 (c)
			

			
	
			
			Sales.  Junior Lender agrees that it will consent, and will not object or oppose a motion to Dispose of any Collateral free and clear of the Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if Senior Lender has consented to such Disposition of such assets; provided, that, the liens of  Junior Lender shall attach to the proceeds of such Disposition of Collateral and proceeds of such Disposition of any Collateral to be applied to the Senior Debt or the Junior Debt are applied in accordance with Section 3.3(a) hereof.

Junior Lender shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of Senior Lender to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Junior Lender waives any claim it may hereafter have against Senior Lender arising out of the election by Senior Lender of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Senior Lender shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of Junior Lender to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided Junior Lender’s exercise of rights under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code is not in contravention with the terms of this Agreement. 




			
	
			
				 (g)
			

			
	
			
			No Waiver.

				 4.
			Modifications to Senior Debt.

Any amendment, modification or waiver of any representation, covenant or default in the Senior Debt Documents shall automatically be deemed to amend, modify or waive (as applicable) any corresponding representation, covenant or default in the Junior Debt Documents to the extent necessary to ensure that the representations, covenants and defaults set forth in the Junior Debt Documents shall in no event be more restrictive than the representations, covenants and defaults set forth in the Senior Debt Documents.  In the event that all of the Senior Debt then outstanding is refinanced pursuant to a Permitted Refinancing, Junior Lender will enter into an agreement substantively identical to this Agreement with such Person(s).
