SECTION 3 Subordination upon Any Distribution of Assets of the Obligors. In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of any Debtor Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities, upon the dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation or reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, or similar proceeding relating to such Debtor Obligor or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, arrangement, or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and liabilities of such Debtor Obligor, or upon the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding, or otherwise (such events, collectively, the “Insolvency Events”): (a) the Discharge of Senior Debt must have occurred before any Subordinated Debt Payment is made; and (b) any Subordinated Debt Payment to which any Creditor Obligor would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating lender making such payment or distribution directly to Agent for application to the payment of the Senior Debt until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to Agent or any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider in respect of such Senior Debt.

SECTION 4 Payments on Subordinated Debt.

(a) Permitted Payments. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Debtor Obligor may make, and each Creditor Obligor shall be entitled to accept and receive Subordinated Debt Payments to the extent not prohibited under the Credit Agreement.

(b) No Payment upon Senior Debt Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and until such Event of Default is waived in accordance with the Credit Agreement, no Debtor Obligor shall make, and no Creditor Obligor shall accept or receive, any Subordinated Debt Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, once such Event of Default is cured or waived, and so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Debtor Obligor may make and any Creditor Obligor may accept or receive any Subordinated Debt payment, including payments scheduled for the period of time when such Event of Default existed to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5 Subordination of Remedies. Until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Event has occurred, no Creditor Obligor will:

(a) accelerate, make demand, or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original due date thereof any Subordinated Debt;

(b) bring, commence, institute, prosecute, or participate in any lawsuit, action, or proceeding, whether private, judicial, equitable, administrative, or otherwise to enforce its rights or interests in respect of the Subordinated Debt;

(c) exercise any rights under or with respect to guaranties of the Subordinated Debt, if any;

-4-

(d) exercise any of its rights or remedies in connection with the Subordinated Debt with respect to any Collateral of any Debtor Obligor;

(e) exercise any right to set-off or counterclaim in respect of any Indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations of such Creditor Obligor to any Debtor Obligor against any of the Subordinated Debt;

(f) in its capacity as a Creditor Obligor, contest, protest, or object to any exercise of secured creditor remedies by Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider in connection with the Senior Debt;

(g) object to any forbearance by Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider in connection with the Senior Debt; or

(h) commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor other than Agent or any Lender in commencing, any Insolvency Proceeding against any Debtor Obligor.

SECTION 6 Payment over to Agent. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4, and 5, any Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of such Sections 2, 3, 4, or 5 by any Creditor Obligor before the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, such Subordinated Debt Payments shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to Agent, in the same form as received and with any necessary endorsements, for application to the payment of the Senior Debt in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements. Agent is authorized to make any such endorsements as Agent for the Creditor Obligors. Such authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Senior Debt.

SECTION 7 Authorization to Agent. If, while any Subordinated Debt is outstanding and before Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, any Insolvency Event shall occur and be continuing with respect to any Debtor Obligor or its property: (a) Agent hereby is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of each Creditor Obligor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect, and receive every payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Debt and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Agent (or any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider) under any of the Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreement; and (b) each Creditor Obligor shall promptly take such action as Agent may reasonably request (i) to collect the Subordinated Debt for the account of the Lender Group and Bank Product Providers and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt, (ii) to execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as it may reasonably request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated Debt, and (iii) to collect and receive any and all Subordinated Debt Payments.

SECTION 8 Certain Agreements Of Each Obligor.

(a) No Benefits. Each Obligor understands that there may be various agreements between the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers and any other Obligor evidencing and governing the Senior Debt, and each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that such agreements are not intended to confer any benefits on such Obligor unless such Obligor is also a party thereto (in which case, the rights of such Obligor are as set forth therein) and that Agent and the other members of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers shall have no obligation to such Obligor or any other Person to
