SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
October 24, 2014
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in order to induce DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS (“Lender”) now and from time to time hereafter to extend financial accommodations to, or otherwise extend or continue to extend credit to or for the benefit of Viggle Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Company”), Sillerman Investment Company III LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Creditor”), does hereby subordinate payment of (i) the indebtedness of Company to Creditor evidenced by that certain Line of Credit Promissory Note dated the date hereof (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Subordinated Note”) made by Company in favor of Creditor in the original principal amount of $20,000,000 and (ii) all other indebtedness of Company to Creditor of every nature, howsoever evidenced, incurred or created, and whether now or hereafter owing (collectively, the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) to: (x) the obligations and liabilities of Company to Lender under that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of March 11, 2013 by and between Company and Lender (as the same may from time to time be or has been amended, restated, modified or supplemented, the “Loan Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and (y) all other indebtedness of Company to Lender of every nature, howsoever evidenced, incurred or created, and whether now or hereafter owing ((x) and (y) collectively, the “Obligations”).
Creditor further subordinates to Lender any and all liens and security interests on the assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries heretofore and from time to time hereafter received by Creditor to secure the payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness or as security for any other indebtedness of Company or any of its subsidiaries to Creditor, howsoever evidenced, incurred or created, and whether now or hereafter owing (“Creditor’s Liens”), and in connection therewith agrees that: (i) any and all liens and security interests upon the assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries heretofore and from time to time hereafter received by Lender as security for the Obligations shall be superior to and take priority over Creditor’s Liens, regardless of the order of filing or perfection; (ii) Lender shall not owe any duty to Creditor whatsoever as a result of or in connection with Creditor’s Liens, and, without limiting the foregoing, Lender shall not owe to Creditor any duty of notice, marshalling of assets or protection of the rights or interests of Creditor; and (iii) so long as this Agreement shall be in effect, Creditor will not take any action to foreclose or otherwise enforce any of Creditor’s Liens. Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the underlying terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents relating to the assets of Company and to exercise and enforce its rights according to its discretion. Creditor waives all rights to affect the method or challenge the appropriateness of any action taken by Lender in connection with Lender’s enforcement of its rights under the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any and all other documents, instruments and agreements entered into in connection therewith. As between Creditor and Lender, only Lender shall have the right to restrict, permit, approve or disapprove the sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of Company. As between Lender and Creditor, the terms of this Agreement shall govern even if all or part of Lender’s liens are avoided, disallowed, set aside or otherwise invalidated.
Upon any distribution of the assets or readjustment of the indebtedness of Company or any of its subsdiaries, whether by reason of liquidation, composition, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of all or any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, or the application of the assets of Company or any of its subsidiaries to the payment or liquidation thereof, Lender shall be entitled to receive payment in full of any and all Obligations then owing to it by Company prior to the payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and in order to enable Lender to enforce its rights hereunder in any such action or proceeding, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered in its discretion as attorney in fact for Creditor to make and present for and on behalf of Creditor such proofs of claims against Company or any of its subsidiaries on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness as Lender may deem expedient or proper and to vote such proofs of claims in any such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply same on account of any Obligations owing to Lender by Company.
Creditor will execute and deliver to Lender from time to time such assignments or other instruments as may be required by Lender in order to enable it to enforce any and all such claims and to collect any and all dividends or other payments or disbursements which may be made at any time on account of all or any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness.
Creditor hereby acknowledges that the Subordinated Indebtedness is and shall be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations and Creditor will not accept and Company shall not make, nor shall it permit any of its subsidiaries to make, any payment in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until such time as the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full; provided, however, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement) shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to such payment, Company may pay and Creditor may receive regularly scheduled payments of interest under the Subordinated Note as in effect on the date hereof. Creditor shall not now or hereafter directly or indirectly, (i) except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, ask, demand, sue for, take or receive payment of all or any part of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any collateral therefor, and neither Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be obligated to make any such payment, and the failure of Company or any of its subsidiaries so to do shall not constitute a default by Company or any of its subsidiaries in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (ii) seize any property of Company or any of its subsidiaries or (iii) institute or join any petition for any insolvency,

bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding against Company or any of its subsidiaries. In the event Creditor shall receive any payment in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness when Creditor is not permitted to receive such payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Creditor shall forthwith deliver, or cause to be delivered, the same to Lender in precisely the form held by Creditor (except for any necessary endorsement) and until so delivered the same shall be held in trust by Creditor as the property of Lender.
Without the prior written consent of Lender, Creditor will not at any time while this Agreement remains in effect (a) make any loan to Company under the Subordinated Note if a Potential Default or Event of Default would occur after giving effect to such loan, including, without limitation, an Event of Default as a result of a breach of Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement; provided, however, that Creditor may make a loan to Company notwithstanding the occurrence and continuance of a Potential Default or Event of Default so long as the proceeds of such loan are immediately used to indefeasibly pay all of the Obligations in full, (b) amend or modify amend or modify any term or provision of any document, instrument or agreement evidencing the Subordinated Indebtedness if such amendment or modification violates or contradicts the terms of this Agreement, or (c) assign or transfer any right, claim or interest of any kind in or to any of the Subordinated Indebtedness or any collateral therefor unless, prior to the consummation of any such assignment or transfer, the assignee or transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Lender an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, providing for the continued subordination of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Obligations as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Lender arising under this Agreement.
Lender may at any time, in its discretion, renew or extend the time of payment of all or any existing or future Obligations of Company to Lender or waive or release any collateral which may be held therefor at any time, and in connection therewith may make and enter into any such agreement or agreements as it may deem proper or desirable without notice to or the consent of Creditor and without in any manner impairing or affecting this Agreement or any of Lender’s rights hereunder.
Creditor warrants to Lender that: (i) Creditor is the owner of the Subordinated Indebtedness; (ii) Creditor has the full right, power and authority to make, execute and deliver this Agreement; (iii) Creditor has not heretofore assigned, pledged or granted a security interest or other lien, right or interest in the Subordinated Indebtedness or any instrument or document evidencing the Subordinated Indebtedness to any third party; (iv) this Agreement is valid and binding upon Creditor and is and will be enforceable by Lender in accordance with its terms (except as limited by bankruptcy and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally); and (v) Company is not now in default with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness or any part thereof. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date hereof and shall continue in effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in cash, performed and satisfied in full.
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the filing of any petition (“Petition”) by or against Company or any of its subsidiaries under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”) and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. All references herein to Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to apply to Company and such subsidiaries as debtor-in-possession and to a trustee for Company and its subsidiaries. If Company or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to a proceeding under the Code, and if Lender shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide post-Petition financing from Lender to Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Code, Creditor agrees as follows: (1) adequate notice to Creditor shall be deemed to have been provided for such consent or post-Petition financing if Creditor receives notice thereof three (3) business days (or such shorter notice as is given to Lender) prior to the earlier of (a) any hearing on a request to approve such post-petition financing or (b) the date of entry of an order approving same and (2) no objection will be raised by Creditor to any such use of cash collateral or such post-Petition financing from Lender.
Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations, to the extent that Lender has received any payment on the Obligations which, but for this Agreement, would have been applied to the Subordinated Indebtedness, Creditor shall be subrogated to the then or thereafter rights of Lender including, without limitation, the right to receive any payment made on the Obligations until the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment to Lender to which Creditor would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall, as among the Company, its creditors (other than Lender) and Creditor, be deemed to be a payment by Company to or on account of the Obligations, it being understood that the provisions hereof are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Creditor on the one hand, and Lender on the other hand.
This Agreement shall be binding upon Creditor and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and its successors and assigns. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
