WHEREAS, the Senior Lender has requested, and the Subordinate Lender has agreed, that the Subordinate Debt and any security interests securing it shall be subordinate in right of payment and priority to the Senior Debt and the security interests securing it;

AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE

The Subordinate Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally subordinates the Subordinate Debt and any and all security interests, liens, charges, and encumbrances securing the Subordinate Debt to the Senior Debt and the security interests, liens, charges, and encumbrances securing the Senior Debt, in each case, as more fully described herein.

PAYMENT STANDSTILL

Notwithstanding any provision in the Subordinate Loan Agreement or any other agreement, the Subordinate Lender agrees that, until the Senior Debt has been indefeasibly paid in full and all commitments to extend credit thereunder have been terminated, the Subordinate Lender shall not demand, accept, or receive any payment (whether of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise) on account of the Subordinate Debt, other than {{permitted_payments_details}}.

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS UPON ENFORCEMENT

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, receivership, or other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Debtor, or upon the realization of any collateral by the Senior Lender, all proceeds from the Senior Collateral and, to the extent permitted by law, the Subordinate Collateral, shall first be applied to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Debt before any amount is applied to the Subordinate Debt.
