ARTICLE IV

SUBORDINATION

4.1 Subordination to Senior Debt. Anything in this agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Lender’s right to repayment of Junior Debt shall be unsecured and
subordinated and junior in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided below, to the
final payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt, whether incurred prior to or arising after the
date of this Agreement.

(a) In the event of (i) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative
to the Borrower or to its assets, or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the
Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy,
or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshalling of assets and liabilities
of the Borrower (the foregoing being a “Proceeding”) then and in any such event the Senior
Creditors shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt before any of the
Junior Debt shall be paid, and to that end, the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive, for
application to the payment of the Senior Debt, any payment or distribution of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect
of the Junior Debt in any Proceeding.

(b) The Lender agrees that the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to receive payment in full
in cash of all amounts due or to become due in respect of all Senior Debt before the Lender is
entitled to receive any payment by the Borrower on account of the Junior Debt, provided that the
foregoing shall not prevent the issuance of additional Loans in payment of interest on the
outstanding Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(c) The Lender further agrees that in the event and during the continuance of any Event of
Default under Article V of this Agreement it will not, without the prior written consent of the
Trustee, take any action to accelerate or declare to be due and payable any Junior Debt or to
enforce any remedies against the Borrower prior to the final payment in full in cash of all Senior
Debt. Notwithstanding the restriction in the foregoing, (i) the Lender may file proofs of claim in
respect of the Junior Debt against the Borrower and exercise all voting rights in respect of the
Junior Debt in any Proceeding involving the Borrower, (ii) the Lender may accelerate the Junior
Debt if the Senior Debt shall have been accelerated and (iii) to the extent necessary (but only to
such extent) that the commencement of a legal action may be required in order to toll the running
of any applicable statute of limitation that might otherwise prevent the Lender from making claims
in respect of the Junior Debt it otherwise could, there shall be no restriction on the Lender
taking any of the actions referred to in this Section 4.1(c) but in such an event the Lender shall
give prior written notice to the Trustee and any cash, securities or other amounts received by the
Lender in connection with any such legal action shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this Article IV.

4.2 Payment to Trustee of Certain Amounts Received by the Lender. In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any distribution of assets by the Borrower or payment by or on
behalf of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, to
which the Lender would be entitled but for the provisions of this Article IV, shall be received by
the Lender before all Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash, such distribution or payment shall
be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall, immediately upon receipt thereof, be paid over or
delivered to the Trustee for application to the payment of the Senior Debt.

 

6

 

4.3 Prepayment or Amendment of Junior Debt. Whether or not an Event of Default shall
exist with respect to the Senior Debt, the Lender agrees that without the prior written consent of
the Trustee, it will not (i) commence any Proceeding; (ii) take any collateral security for any
Loan or accrued and unpaid interest thereunder and (iii) assign or transfer the Junior Debt unless
such assignment or transfer is expressly subject to the subordination provisions of this Article IV
and shall have been so acknowledged in writing by the assignee or transferee.

4.4 Authorization to the Senior Creditors. The Lender irrevocably authorizes and
empowers (without imposing any obligation on) the Senior Creditors to file and prove all claims for
the Loans and accrued and unpaid interest thereunder if the Lenders shall not have filed or proved
such claims at least 30 days prior to the applicable deadline and upon at least 10 days’ prior
notice to the Lender, take all such other action, in the name of the Lender, as may be necessary or
appropriate for the enforcement of this Article IV and has not been taken by the Lender; and (b)
agrees to execute and deliver to the Senior Creditors all such further instruments confirming the
above authorization, and all such powers of attorney, proofs of claim, and other instruments, as
may be reasonably requested by the Senior Creditors.

4.5 Notice. The Lender agrees, for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, it shall give
prompt notice of any Event of Default hereunder in writing to the Trustee.

4.6 No Waiver. No right of the Senior Creditors to enforce subordination as herein
provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the
part of the Borrower or by an act or failure to act, in good faith, by the Senior Creditors, or by
any noncompliance by the Borrower with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Creditors may have or be otherwise charged
with. The Senior Creditors may at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion
consistent with the terms of the Indenture, change the manner, place or terms of payment, change or
extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any such Senior Debt or amend or supplement any
instrument pursuant to which any such Senior Debt is issued or by which they may be secured, or
release any security therefor, or exercise or refrain from the exercise of any other of their
rights under the Senior Debt including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder, all
without notice to or assent from the Lender and without affecting the obligations of the Borrower
and the Lender under this Agreement.

4.7 No Subrogation. The Lender shall not be subrogated to the rights of the Senior
Creditors to receive distribution of assets of the Borrower, or payments by or on behalf of the
Borrower, made on the Senior Debt, until all the Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash.

4.8 No Impairment. Nothing continued in this Article IV is intended to or shall
impair, as between the Lender and the Borrower, the obligations of the Borrower, which are absolute
and unconditional, to pay the Lender the amounts of the Loans and accrued and unpaid interest
hereunder as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and covenants
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

	1.	 	Definitions.

(a) Additional Definitions.

(i) As used herein or in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the term
“Amendment No. 1” shall mean Amendment No. 1 to Loan and Security Agreement by and among Agent,
Required Lenders, Borrowers and Guarantors, as the same now
exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or
replaced, and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed and are hereby
amended to include, in addition and not in limitation, such definition.

(ii) The following new definitions are added to Section 1 of the Loan Agreement:

 

 

 

“AMH II Intercompany Loans” shall mean, collectively, the subordinated intercompany loans from
Associated to AMH II in a maximum aggregate original principal amount of $33,000,000, due on May 1,
2015, accruing interest at a rate of 3% per annum, payable only “in kind” by the addition to
principal of such loans, pursuant to the AMH II Loan Agreement, as the same now exist and may
hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced;
individually, each, an “AMH II Intercompany Loan”.

“AMI New Notes” shall mean, collectively, the new subordinated notes, in an aggregate original
principal amount of $20,000,000 issued by Associated to the holders of the Holdings II Notes;
individually, each, an “AMI New Note”.

nonrecurring gains, losses and charges shall not exceed $2,500,000 (exclusive of up to an
additional $5,000,000 of nonrecurring losses and charges, to the extent actually incurred, with
respect to the making of the AMH II Intercompany Loans, the issuance of the AMI New Notes and the
transactions related thereto), during any period of twelve (12) consecutive months and such amount
is identified in the public filings of Parent or its Affiliates and consistent with the historical
practices of Borrowers and Guarantors”.

(b) The definition of “Permitted Investments” in Section 1.153 of the Loan Agreement is
amended by deleting clause (o) thereof in its entirety and substituting the following therefor:

	2.	 	Acknowledgment of Permitted Debt. The parties hereto acknowledge that the AMI New
Notes are permitted pursuant to Section 10.3(f) of the Loan Agreement (subject to the
Borrowers’ representation in Section 4(d) of this Amendment and subject to Agent’s
confirmation that the requirements of subclauses (i) and (ii) of such Section 10.3(f) are
satisfied, which confirmation Agent hereby gives) and further acknowledge for purposes
of subclause (iv) of Section 10.3(f), that the proceeds of the AMI New Notes will be applied
by Agent to the Obligations in such order and manner as it may elect (but not be held as
cash collateral therefor); provided that it is agreed that the AMI New Notes are only
approved pursuant to Section 10.2(f) of the Loan Agreement to the extent they are issued on
or prior to July 15, 2009. Borrowers and Guarantors shall not, directly or indirectly,
redeem, retire, defease, purchase or otherwise acquire such Indebtedness, or set aside or
otherwise deposit or invest any sums for such purpose, except as permitted by Section
10.9(e) of the Loan Agreement.

	3.	 	Amendment to Affiliate Transactions Covenant. Section 10.06 of the Loan Agreement is
amended by deleting “and” at the end of clause (f) thereof, deleting “.” at the end of clause
(g) thereof, substituting “; and” therefor and adding the following new clause (h):

“(h) the AMH II Intercompany Loans made in accordance with the AMH II Loan Agreement as in
effect on the date of Amendment No. 1.”
