(C) Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors shall not deliver more than three (3) Senior Default Notices, in the aggregate, prior to the termination of this Agreement.
The provisions of thissubsection 2.2 shall not apply to any payment with respect to whichsubsection 2.3 would be applicable.

The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Agent, Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set

2.4Incorrect Payments. If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other Property) not permitted to be accepted by Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is received by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such Person, shall be held in trust by such Person for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors and shall be paid over to Senior Agent, or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Senior Purchase Agreement or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, as the case may be) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full.

The Subordinated Creditor shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness unless following such sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, there shall either be (i) no more than two (2) holders of Subordinated Indebtedness (provided, that each holder of Subordinated Indebtedness and its respective affiliates and Related Funds shall be counted as a single holder for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing limitation), or (ii) one Person acting as agent for all holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Senior Agent such that any Senior Default Notices and other notices and communications to be delivered to the Subordinated Creditor hereunder and any consents required by the Subordinated Creditor shall be made to or obtained from such agent and shall be binding on the Subordinated Creditor as if directly delivered to or obtained from such Subordinated Creditor. In the event of a permitted sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Senior Agent a joinder to this Agreement, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, in either case providing for the continued subordination and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Creditor, as provided inSection 10 below. The Subordinated Agent shall not be required to take any action in furtherance of this Section 2.5.

Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Agent, take Enforcement Actions;provided, that no such notice shall be required in the case of any Enforcement Action permitted to be taken underclauses (ii) or(iii) of thissubsection 2.7(b).

The execution, delivery and carrying out of the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of such Person pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement. No pending or, to the best of such Person’s knowledge, threatened, litigation,
-12-
arbitration or other proceedings if adversely determined would in any way prevent the performance of the terms of this Agreement.

Any failure or delay on the part of Senior Agent or Senior Creditors in exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance among the parties hereto.
6. Modification. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor, Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor therefrom, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and the holders of the Subordinated Notes, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

12. Defines Rights of Creditors; Subrogation.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor, on the one hand, and Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, on the other hand, and shall not be deemed to create any rights or priorities in favor of any other Person, including, without limitation, any Obligor. The failure of any Obligor to make any payment to the Subordinated Creditor due to the operation of this Agreement shall not be construed as prohibiting the occurrence of a Subordinated Default.
(b) Subject to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, in the event and to the extent cash, Property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have been applied pursuant to this Agreement to the payment of Senior Indebtedness, then and in each such event, the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subrogated to the rights of each holder of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payment or distribution in respect of or applicable to the Senior Indebtedness (provided, that if, after Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor takes action against an Obligor for any indemnity obligations owing to Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor under the Basic Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that its rights of subrogation hereunder shall be suspended during such period of time that Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor is taking any such action to enforce any such indemnity obligations under the Basic Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that it shall not be permitted to receive or retain any payment or distribution made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities and payments to the Subordinated Agent permitted bysubsection 2.1) during such period); and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, Property or securities to which any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall, as between any Obligor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness, be deemed to be a payment by such Obligor to or on account of Senior Indebtedness.
13. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. For purposes of thisSection 13, to the extent that any provisions of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents provide rights, remedies and benefits to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors that exceed the rights, remedies and benefits provided to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors under this Agreement, such provisions of the applicable Subordinated Indebtedness Documents shall be deemed to supplement (and not to conflict with) the provisions hereof.
14.Statement of Indebtedness to the Subordinated Creditor. The Company will furnish to Senior Agent, upon demand, a statement of the indebtedness owing from Obligors to Subordinated Creditor, and will give Senior Agent access to the books of Obligors in accordance with the Senior Purchase Agreement so that Senior Agent can make a full examination of the status of such indebtedness. The Company will furnish to the Subordinated Creditor, upon
-16-
demand, a statement of the indebtedness owing from Obligors to Senior Creditors, and will give the Subordinated Creditor access to the books of Obligors in accordance with the Subordinated Purchase Agreement so that the Subordinated Creditor can make a full examination of the status of such indebtedness.
15. Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
16. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.
17. Subordinated Default Notice.

THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
19. JURISDICTION AND VENUE.

22.Notice to Subordinated Agent.
The Subordinated Creditor and the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Subordinated Agent of any fact known to the Subordinated Creditor or the Company, respectively, which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Subordinated Agent in respect of the Subordinated Notes. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Subordinated Notes to Senior Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other provision of this Agreement, the Subordinated Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Subordinated Agent in respect of the Subordinated Notes, unless and until the Subordinated Agent shall have received written notice thereof at the address specified in Section 8 from the Subordinated Creditor or the Company; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Subordinated Agent shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;provided,however, that if a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Indenture) of the Subordinated Agent shall not have received, at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms of the Indenture any such money may become payable for any purpose, the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 22, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subordinated Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The Subordinated Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself to be a representative of the Subordinated
-18-
Creditor or the Company to establish that such notice has been given by a representative of the Subordinated Creditor or the Company, as applicable. Nothing in this Section 22 shall permit the Subordinated Creditor to accept any payments from the Company or the Subordinated Agent prohibited by any section of this Agreement.
23.Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Agreement, the Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Agreement.
24.Subordinated Agent Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.

With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Agent undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Agreement against the Subordinated Agent.
