2. | Subordination.

2.1 Subordination of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt. The Issuer agrees, and the Trustee agrees on behalf of each Holder, that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 2, to the prior payment in full of all Issuer Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by holders of Issuer Senior Debt. The Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer (other than Issuer Senior Debt) and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only Indebtedness that is Issuer Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 2 shall be subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

2.2 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Issuer to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or in any marshaling of the Issuer’s assets and liabilities:

(a) holders of Issuer Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of such Issuer Senior Debt (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Issuer Senior Debt, whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowed) before the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes; and

(b) until all Obligations with respect to the Issuer Senior Debt (as provided in clause (a) above) are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders of Notes would be entitled but for this Article 2 shall be made to holders of Issuer Senior Debt as their interests may appear.

2.3 Default on Issuer Senior Debt.

(a) The Issuer may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Notes for cash or property until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Issuer Senior Debt have been paid in full if:

(i) a payment default on Issuer Senior Debt occurs and is continuing; or

(ii) any other default occurs and is continuing on any Issuer Senior Debt that permits the holders of such Issuer Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, or otherwise demand its payment, and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a “Notes Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Issuer or the holders of such Issuer Senior Debt.

(b) The Issuer may and will resume payments or any distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of:

(i) in the case of a payment default with respect to any Issuer Senior Debt, the date upon which such default is cured or waived, and

(ii) in the case of a nonpayment default with respect to any Issuer Senior Debt, upon the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived and 179 days after the date on which the applicable Notes Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless in the case of this clause (ii), the maturity of any Issuer Senior Debt has been accelerated or demand for payment of such Issuer Senior Debt made, and such acceleration or demand for payment has not been waived or cancelled, if this Article 2 otherwise permits such payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.

2.4 Demand for Payment. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Issuer or the Trustee will promptly notify holders of the Issuer Senior Debt, of the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 2. If any Issuer Senior Debt is outstanding, the Issuer may not make a payment of the Notes until ten (10) Business Days after holders of such Issuer Senior Debt receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may make a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes only if this Agreement, the Indenture and federal law otherwise permits payment at that time.

2.5 When Distribution Must be Paid Over. In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of the Notes receives any payment of, or any distributions with respect to, any Obligations with respect to the Notes at a time when the payment is prohibited by Section 2.3 hereof and the Trustee or the Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited by Section 2.3 hereof, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered upon written request to, holders of Issuer Senior Debt as their interests may appear under the agreement, indenture or other document (if any) pursuant to which any Issuer Senior Debt may have been issued or incurred, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Issuer Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Issuer Senior Debt.

2.6 Subrogation. After all Issuer Senior Debt is Discharged and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes will be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to such Issuer Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of such Issuer Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 2 to the holders of Issuer Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Issuer and Holders, a payment by the Issuer on the Notes.

2.7 Relative Rights. This Article 2 defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Issuer Senior Debt. Nothing in this Agreement will:

(a) impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, on, and interest, if any, on, the Notes in accordance with their terms;

(b) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Issuer other than their rights in relation to holders of Issuer Senior Debt; or

(c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Issuer Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes and such other rights of holders of Issuer Senior Debt as set forth herein.

2.8 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Issuer. No right of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Issuer or any Holder or by the failure of the Issuer or any Holder to comply with the Indenture or this Agreement.

2.9 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 2 or any provision of the Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article 2. Only the Issuer or holders of Issuer Senior Debt may give the notice. Nothing in this Article 2 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture.

(b) The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes.

All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under the Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among DTC participants, members or beneficial owners in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of the Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

2.10 Article 2 Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment. The failure of the Issuer to make a payment on the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 2 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default by the Issuer. Nothing in this Article 2 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on the Notes pursuant to Article 2 of the Indenture.

2.11 Trust Moneys Not Subordinated. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of Government Securities held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 of the Indenture shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Issuer Senior Debt or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 2, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Issuer or holders of Issuer Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Issuer, provided that, the subordination provisions of this Article 2 were not violated at the time the applicable amounts were deposited in trust pursuant to Article 8 or Article 12 of the Indenture, as the case may be.

2.12 Trustee Entitled to Rely. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Issuer referred to in this Article 2, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 2.12 hereof are pending or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Issuer Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 2. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of the holders of Issuer Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 2, the Trustee shall be entitled to request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Issuer Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 2 and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee shall be entitled to defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of the Indenture shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 2.

2.13 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. This Agreement is intended to effectuate the subordination provided in Article 2 of the Indenture as contemplated by Section 2.27 of the Indenture.

2.14 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Issuer Senior Debt. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Issuer Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holder if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders or any other Person, money or assets to which holders of Issuer Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 2 or otherwise, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.

2.15 Reliance by Holders of Senior Debt on Subordinated Provisions. Each Holder pursuant to the Indenture and by accepting a Note, has acknowledged and agreed that provisions comparable to those in this Article 2 hereof are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to holders of Issuer Senior Debt, whether such Issuer Senior Debt was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Issuer Senior Debt and holders of such Issuer Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Issuer Senior Debt.

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, holders of Issuer Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring liability to the Trustee or the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 2 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to holders of Issuer Senior Debt, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Issuer Senior Debt, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner any Issuer Senior Debt, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which any Issuer Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing any Issuer Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any Issuer Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Issuer and any other Person.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Trustee or any Holder that are paid over to any Issuer Senior Debt Representatives or the other Issuer Senior Debt Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the obligations under the Indenture.

3.17 Authorization. By its signature, each Person executing this Agreement, on behalf of such Person but not in his or her personal capacity as a signatory, represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it is duly authorized to execute this Agreement.

3.18 Third Party Beneficiaries/ Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the Issuer Senior Debt Claimholders and the Holders and their respective successors and assigns from time to time. Each holder of any Issuer Senior Debt that is not (either directly or through an agent) a party hereto shall be an express third party beneficiary hereof. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Issuer Senior Debt Representatives and the other Issuer Senior Debt Claimholders on the one hand and the Trustee and the Holders on the other hand. Other than as set forth in Section 3.3 and in Section 3.6, none of the Issuer or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder and the Issuer may not rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Issuer, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the obligations under Issuer Senior Debt and the Notes, the Indenture and the Security Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

3.19 No Indirect Actions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, if a party may not take an action under this Agreement, then it may not take that action indirectly, or support any other Person in taking that action directly or indirectly. “Taking an action indirectly” means taking an action that is not expressly prohibited for the party but is intended by the party to have substantially the same effects as the prohibited action.

3.20 When Discharge of Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If contemporaneously with the Discharge of Issuer Senior Debt, the Company enters into any Refinancing of such Issuer Senior Debt, then such Discharge of Issuer Senior Debt shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement and the obligations under such Refinancing of the applicable Issuer Senior Debt shall automatically be treated as Issuer Senior Debt for all purposes of this Agreement.

3.21 Avoidance Issues. If any Issuer Senior Debt Claimholder is required as a result of any filing or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Issuer any amount paid in respect of Issuer Senior Debt Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such Issuer Senior Debt Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of its Issuer Senior Debt Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of Issuer Senior Debt Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. This Section 3.21 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
