PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. The Initial Borrower, Holdings, each lender from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 28, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, including pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of April 5, 2016, and Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2016, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time including pursuant hereto, the “Credit Agreement”).

B. The Initial Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders amend the Credit Agreement to, among other matters, provide additional extensions of credit, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of all of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the same meanings as specified in the Existing Credit Agreement or, if not defined therein, the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment.

SECTION 2. Amendments to Loan Documents; Other Agreements. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, on the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined below):

(i) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended to incorporate the changes reflected in, and read in its entirety as set forth in, the form attached hereto as Annex A; and

(ii) Exhibits B-1, B-2, H-1 and P-1 to the Credit Agreement shall mean and refer to Exhibits B-1, B-2, H-1 and P-1 attached to this Amendment.

(b) On the Third Amendment Effective Date, each Person executing this Amendment in its capacity as a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement hereby consents to this Amendment and the terms and provisions thereof.

(i) as of the last day of the calendar month most recently ended prior to the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (inclusive of all Principal Increases) was $[●], which Term Loans constitute valid and subsisting obligations of the Credit Parties to the Lenders and are not subject to any credit, offset, defense, claim, counterclaim or adjustment of any kind; and

(ii) in connection with the Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement dated as of April 5, 2016, the Credit Parties agreed to pay to the Lenders composing the Lateral Entities a fee equal to $240,000, and to pay to the Lenders composing the WP Entities a fee equal to $240,000, and that such fees remain unpaid as of the Third Amendment Effective Date. The Lenders hereby agree that such fees shall be paid, effective as of March 31, 2017, by being added to the principal amount outstanding in respect of the Term Loans of the corresponding Lenders (and applied ratably among the Term Loans of the Lenders composing the Lateral Entities and WP Entities, as the case may be), and thereafter shall accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Holdings has advised the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) FTE Properties, LLC and UBIQ Communications, LLC (each a Subsidiary of Holdings and herein referred to as the “Designated Subsidiaries”) hold no assets, are otherwise not in good standing in their respective jurisdictions of organization, and are likely to be administratively dissolved, (ii) the Credit Parties have potentially accrued certain payroll tax liabilities for activities arising prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date (all as disclosed to the Administrative Agent prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date and herein referred to the “Designated Tax Liabilities”), and (iii) Messrs. Palleschi and Lethem (affiliates of Holdings and herein referred to herein as the “Designated Individuals”) have collectively advanced an aggregate of $777,000 to Holdings (the “Related Party Payables”) and that the Designated Individuals have requested that all such Related Party Payables be repaid following the Third Amendment Effective Date. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree (effective with the Third Amendment Effective Date) that (i) so long as neither Designated Subsidiary holds any assets, neither the fact that the Designated Subsidiaries are not in good standing in their respective jurisdictions of organization and are likely to be administratively dissolved nor the actual administrative dissolution of either or both of the Designated Subsidiaries shall constitute an Event of Default, (ii) so long as the aggregate liability in respect of the Designated Tax Liabilities does not exceed $1.8 million, the representations and warranties in Section 3.10 of the Credit Agreement, and the covenant in Section 4.7(a) of the Credit Agreement, shall be deemed qualified by reference to the existence of the Designated Tax Liabilities, and (iii) so long as (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, and (B) Holdings shall have paid all amounts otherwise due and payable in respect of the Benchmark Indebtedness for the month most recently ended prior to the proposed payment date, Holdings may repay the Related Party Payables not more frequently than monthly and then in an amount in any month not greater than the lesser of (1) $100,000, and (2) 20% of the “Monthly Excess Cash Flow” (as defined in the Benchmark Subordination Agreement), giving effect to the $4.0 million minimum unrestricted cash and cash equivalents qualification set forth in the definition of “Monthly Excess Cash Flow Amount” (as defined in the Benchmark Subordination Agreement).

(a) Each Credit Party and each of their respective Subsidiary (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable; (ii) has the power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, Permits, consents and approvals to own its assets, carry on its business and execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Amendment (and the Credit Agreement); (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, and licensed and in good standing, under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license; and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law; except, in each case referred to in clause (iii) or clause (iv), to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party of this Amendment (or the Credit Agreement) except (a) for recordings and filings in connection with the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under the Collateral Documents and (b) those obtained or made on or prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date.

SECTION 5. Reference to and Effect on the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents.

(a) On and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, each reference in the Existing Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment on the Third Amendment Effective Date.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all Obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents, in each case, as amended by this Amendment. Furthermore, the Initial Borrower and Holdings acknowledge that neither Person has any offsets or defenses to its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and no claims or counterclaims against the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents. No failure or delay or course of dealing on the part of the Administrative Agent and Lenders in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders would otherwise be entitled to exercise. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any such Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or .pdf shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous. The laws of the State of New York shall govern all matters arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Amendment, including its validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement (including any claims sounding in contract or tort law arising out of the subject matter hereof and any determinations with respect to post-judgment interest). This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Sections 9.18(b), 9.18(c), 9.18(d), and 9.19 of the Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into this Amendment, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto hereby agree that such provisions shall apply to this Amendment with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety.

2. Subordination.

2.1. Subordination of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt. Each Company covenants and agrees, and each Subordinated Creditor likewise covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Subordinated Debt Documents, that the payment of any and all of the Subordinated Debt shall be subordinate and subject in right and time of payment, to the extent (including giving effect to subsection 2.3 hereof) and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full of the Senior Debt. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained in this Agreement.

2.2. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. In the event of any Proceeding involving any Company:

(a) All Senior Debt shall first be paid in full before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to Subordinated Creditors on account of any Subordinated Debt.

(b) Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Agent (to be held and/or applied by Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents) until all Senior Debt is paid in full. Subordinated Creditors irrevocably authorize, empower and direct any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to Senior Agent. Subordinated Creditors also irrevocably authorize and empower Senior Agent, in the name of Subordinated Creditors, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.

(c) Each Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt requested by Senior Agent in connection with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Senior Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of such Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim and (ii) vote such claim in any such Proceeding upon the failure of such Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to 15 days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided, Senior Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In the event that Senior Agent votes any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, Subordinated Creditors shall not be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.

-6-

(d) Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will consent to, and not object to or oppose any use of cash collateral consented to by Senior Agent or any financing provided by any Senior Lender to any Company (or any financing provided by any other Person consented to by Senior Agent) (collectively, “DIP Financing”) on such terms and conditions as Senior Agent, in its sole discretion, may decide. In connection therewith, any Company may grant to Senior Agent and Senior Lenders or such other lender, as applicable, liens and security interests upon all of the property of such Company, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of all Senior Debt (whether such Senior Debt arose prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by any Senior Lender or consented to by Senior Agent during the Proceeding and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the liens and security interests, if any, in favor of Subordinated Creditors on the property of such Company. If, in connection with any cash collateral use or DIP Financing, any liens and security interests on the Collateral held by Senior Agent are subject to a surcharge or are subordinated to an administrative priority claim, a professional fee “carve out,” or fees owed to the United States Trustee, then the liens on the Collateral of Subordinated Creditors, if any, shall also be subordinated to such interest or claim and shall remain subordinated to the liens and security interests on the Collateral of Senior Agent consistent with this Agreement. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will consent to, and not object to or oppose, a sale or other disposition of any property securing all or any part of any Senior Debt free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims of Subordinated Creditors under the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 365 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, if Senior Agent has consented to such sale or disposition. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees not to assert any right it may have in any Proceeding arising from any Company’s use, sale or other disposition of Collateral and agrees that it will not seek (or support any other Person seeking) to have any stay, whether automatic or otherwise, lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of Senior Agent. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not, and will not permit, any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly provide, participate in or otherwise support, any financing in a Proceeding to any Company without the prior written consent of Senior Agent. No Subordinated Creditor will object to or oppose any adequate protection sought by Senior Agent or any Senior Lender or object to or oppose any motion by Senior Agent to lift the automatic stay or any other stay in any Proceeding. No Subordinated Creditor will seek or assert any right it may have for adequate protection of its interest in any Collateral, if any. Each Subordinated Creditor waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of Senior Agent’s or Senior Lenders’ election, in any Proceeding, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by any Company, as debtor in possession. Each Subordinated Creditor further agrees that it shall not, without Senior Agent’s prior written consent, commence or continue any Proceeding, propose any plan of reorganization, arrangement or proposal or file any motion, pleading or material in support of any motion or plan of reorganization, arrangement or proposal that would impair the rights of the Senior Lenders, is in conflict with the terms of this Agreement, or is opposed by Senior Lenders or Senior Agent, or oppose any plan of reorganization or liquidation supported by Senior Agent.

(e) The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Lenders and Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security interests securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding.

(f) Any claim that the Subordinated Creditors have by reason of Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, if any, may be satisfied under a plan of reorganization with cash, securities or other property, having a value, as of the effect date of such plan, equal to the allowed amount of such claim under Section 507(b).

2.3. Subordinated Debt Payment Restrictions. Notwithstanding the terms of the Subordinated Debt Documents, each Company hereby agrees that it may not make, and each Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that it will not accept, any Distribution with respect to the Subordinated Debt until the Senior Debt is paid in full other than, subject to the terms of subsection 2.2 of this Agreement, Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments.

2.4. Subordinated Debt Standstill Provisions. Until the Senior Debt is paid in full, no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of Senior Agent, take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt or under the Subordinated Debt Documents; provided, however, the Subordinated Creditors may, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Benchmark 24 Month Notes (as in effect on the date hereof), elect to convert such note into common equity securities of Holdings. Any Distributions or other proceeds of any Enforcement Action obtained by any Subordinated Creditor shall in any event be held in trust by it for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders and promptly paid or delivered to Senior Agent for the benefit of Senior Lenders in the form received until the Senior Debt is paid in full.

-7-

2.5. Incorrect Payments. If any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by a Company or accepted by a Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is knowingly received by any Subordinated Creditor, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of such Subordinated Creditor, shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties and shall be promptly paid over to Senior Agent for application (in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is paid in full.

2.6. Subordination of Liens and Security Interests; Agreement Not to Contest; Sale of Collateral; Release of Liens. Until the Senior Debt has been paid in full, any liens and security interests of Subordinated Creditors in the Collateral, if any, which may exist shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the liens and security interests of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders in the Collateral, regardless of the time, manner or order of perfection of any such liens and security interests and regardless of the validity, perfection or enforceability of such liens and security interests of Senior Agent. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Debt, the Senior Debt Documents, or the liens and security interests of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders in the Collateral securing the Senior Debt. In the event that a Company desires to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of the Collateral (including the equity interests of a Company) and Senior Agent consents to such Disposition, each Subordinated Creditor shall be deemed to have consented to such Disposition and such Disposition shall be free and clear of any liens and security interests of Subordinated Creditors in such Collateral, if any (and if such Disposition involves the equity interests of a Company, each Subordinated Creditor shall release such Company from any guaranty or other obligation owing to Subordinated Creditors), and any purchaser of any Collateral may rely on this Agreement as evidence of each Subordinated Creditor’s consent to such Disposition and that such Disposition is free and clear of any liens and security interests of such Subordinated Creditor in such Collateral, if any (and if such Disposition involves the equity interests of a Company, that such Company is released from any guaranty or other obligation owing to Subordinated Creditors). Each Subordinated Creditor shall (or shall cause its agent) to promptly execute and deliver to Senior Agent such termination statements and releases as Senior Agent shall request to effect the release of the liens and security interests of Subordinated Creditors in such Collateral, if any, in accordance with this subsection 2.6. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Senior Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Subordinated Creditor and in the name of such Subordinated Creditor or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument which such Subordinated Creditor may be required to deliver pursuant to this subsection 2.6.

2.7. Sale, Transfer or other Disposition of Subordinated Debt.

(a) No Subordinated Creditor shall sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any Subordinated Debt Document: (i) without giving prior written notice of such action to Senior Agent, and (ii) unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Senior Agent an agreement joining such transferee as a party to this Agreement as a Subordinated Creditor or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, providing for the continued subordination of the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders arising under this Agreement.

-8-

(b) Notwithstanding the failure of any transferee to execute or deliver an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of any Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 9 hereof.

2.8. Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 15 hereof, each Subordinated Creditor will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of the Subordinated Note and any other Subordinated Debt Document, as well as any renewals or replacements thereof, the following legend:

“This instrument and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) dated as of April 20, 2017 among (inter alios) Brian McMahon, a natural person, as an Initial Subordinated Creditor, Fred Sacramone, a natural person, as an Initial Subordinated Creditor, FTE NETWORKS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Holdings”), and LATERAL JUSCOM FEEDER LLC, as Senior Agent, to the indebtedness (including interest) owed by Holdings and its subsidiaries, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 28, 2015 among the Holdings, its subsidiaries party thereto, Senior Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Senior Credit Agreement”) and the other Senior Debt Documents (as defined in the Subordination Agreement), as such Senior Credit Agreement and other Senior Debt Documents have been and hereafter may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and to indebtedness refinancing the indebtedness under those agreements as contemplated by the Subordination Agreement; and each holder of this instrument, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.”

2.9. Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. All rights and interest of Senior Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of Subordinated Creditors and Companies hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any document evidencing any of the Senior Debt;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or any other term of, all or any of the Senior Debt, or any other permitted amendment or waiver of or any release or consent to departure from any of the Senior Debt Documents;

(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Companies in respect of the Senior Debt or Subordinated Creditors in respect of this Agreement.

Each Subordinated Creditor acknowledges and agrees that Senior Secured Parties may in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, without notice or demand and without affecting or impairing such Subordinated Creditor’s obligations hereunder, (i) modify the Senior Debt Documents; (ii) take or hold security for the payment of the Senior Debt and exchange, enforce, foreclose upon, waive and release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Senior Agent and Senior Lenders in their sole discretion, may determine; (iv) release and substitute one or more endorsers, warrantors, borrowers or other obligors; and (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Company or any other Person. The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Secured Parties and Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security interests securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed.

2.11. Application of Proceeds from Sale or other Disposition of the Collateral. In the event of any Disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied to the Senior Debt in the order and manner set forth in the Senior Debt Documents until such time as the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.

2.13. Insurance Proceeds. Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, Senior Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against Subordinated Creditors, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of such Collateral.

5. Subrogation; Recovery. Subject to the payment in full of the Senior Debt, Subordinated Creditors shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Lenders to receive Distributions with respect to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt is paid in full. If Senior Agent or any Senior Lender is required to disgorge any proceeds of Collateral, payment or other amount received by such Person (whether because such proceeds, payment or other amount is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise) or turn over or otherwise pay any amount (a “Recovery”) to the estate or to any creditor or representative of a Company or any other Person, then the Senior Debt shall be reinstated (to the extent of such Recovery) as if such Senior Debt had never been paid and to the extent any Subordinated Creditor has received proceeds, payments or other amounts to which such Subordinated Creditor would not have been entitled under this Agreement had such reinstatement occurred prior to receipt of such proceeds, payments or other amounts, such Subordinated Creditor shall turn over such proceeds, payments or other amounts to Senior Agent for reapplication to the Senior Debt. A Distribution made pursuant to this Agreement to Senior Agent or Senior Lenders which otherwise would have been made to Subordinated Creditors is not, as between the Companies and Subordinated Creditors, a payment by the Companies to or on account of the Senior Debt.

6. Modification. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Senior Agent and each Subordinated Creditor, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.

7. Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement promptly will execute and deliver such further instruments and agreements and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably requested in writing by any other party hereto that may be necessary or desirable in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.

8. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, facsimile or sent by overnight courier service or certified or registered United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given (a) if delivered in person, when delivered; (b) if delivered by facsimile, on the date of transmission if transmitted on a business day before 5:00 p.m. (New York time) or, if not, on the next succeeding business day; (c) if delivered by overnight courier, one business day after delivery to such courier properly addressed; or (d) if by United States mail, three business days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed.

15. Continuation of Subordination; Termination of Agreement. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Senior Debt after which this Agreement shall terminate without further action on the part of the parties hereto; provided, that if any payment is, subsequent to such termination, recovered from any holder of Senior Debt, this Agreement shall be reinstated; provided, further that a Permitted Refinancing shall not be deemed to be payment in full of the Senior Debt.
