INTRACREDITOR SUBORDINATION AND CONFIRMATION AGREEMENT
This INTRACREDITOR SUBORDINATION AND CONFIRMATION AGREEMENT (this Agreement) is made and effective as of the 4th day of January, 2011, by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Lender), and is acknowledged by the Person identified as Borrower (Borrower) on the signature page hereof.
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Export Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender (said Agreement, as it may be amended, modified, renewed and extended, the Export Loan Agreement), Lender extended to Borrower a pre-export working capital credit facility (said credit facility, as it may be amended, modified, renewed and extended, the Export Loan) to finance the cost of manufacturing, producing, purchasing and selling of Borrowers finished goods and services which are intended for export (Export Purpose);
WHEREAS, the Export Loan and Borrowers Obligations related thereto (collectively, Borrowers Export Obligations) are secured by Liens in and upon Collateral in favor of Lender created and granted by the Financing Documents, including without limitation the security interest created by the Security Agreement of even date herewith executed by Borrower in favor of Lender, as secured party (said agreement, as it may be amended, modified, renewed and extended, the Security Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Collateral includes, but is not limited to, Export-Related Collateral;
WHEREAS, the Export Loan has been made pursuant to Lenders delegated authority from Ex-Im Bank, and it is intended that Borrowers Export Obligations be guaranteed by Ex-Im Bank pursuant to the Ex-Im Bank Guarantee;
WHEREAS, to satisfy Ex-Im Banks requirement that Borrowers Export Obligations be secured by a first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in Borrowers Export-Related Collateral, Lender desires to subordinate its Liens in Borrowers Export-Related Collateral, to the extent they secure Other Indebtedness, to Lenders Liens in Borrowers Export-Related Collateral securing Borrowers Export Obligations; and
WHEREAS, to satisfy Ex-Im Banks requirement that Borrowers Export Obligations be secured by a junior Lien in and upon Collateral other than Export-Related Collateral (such Collateral other than Export-Related Collateral, the Other Collateral), Lender desires to confirm that its Liens in and upon the Other Collateral secure Borrowers Export Obligations but that such Liens are subject and inferior to Lenders Liens in and upon the Other Collateral securing Other Indebtedness.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, Lender hereby agrees, confirms and certifies as follows:
1. Subordination Agreement. Lenders Liens in and upon the Export-Related Collateral, to the extent they secure Other Indebtedness, are and shall hereafter be and remain subject, junior and subordinate to Lenders Liens in and upon such Export-Related Collateral securing Borrowers Export Obligations.
2. Confirmation. Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, Lenders Liens in and upon Other Collateral secure Borrowers Export Obligations and are and shall hereafter be and remain subject, junior and subordinate to Lenders Liens in and upon such Other Collateral to the extent they secure Other Indebtedness.
3. Remedies. Notwithstanding the subordinations and priorities provided herein, Lenders Liens in and upon the Collateral shall secure Borrowers Export Obligations and Other Indebtedness to the full extent provided for in the Financing Documents, including without limitation the Security Agreement. The exercise by Lender of any rights or remedies under the Financing Documents in connection with a default in the payment or performance of either (a) Borrowers Export Obligations or (b) Other Indebtedness shall not limit or impair Lenders rights or remedies under the Financing Documents with respect to a default in the payment or performance of Borrowers other obligations to Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event Lender sells, leases, transfers, or otherwise disposes of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof pursuant to the Financing Documents, including without limitation the Security Agreement, to satisfy either (i) Borrowers Export Obligations or (ii) Other Indebtedness and, after application of all amounts received from the exercise of Lenders rights provided in the Financing Documents and in accordance with the subordinations and priorities hereby effected, there remains outstanding any of Borrowers Export Obligations or Other Indebtedness, Lender shall continue to have and hold all rights and remedies provided for under the Financing Documents (including, without limitation, the right to sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any other Collateral or Proceeds thereof) in satisfaction of all outstanding obligations secured by such Collateral to Lender prior to any rights of Borrower or any other Person in or to any such Collateral or Proceeds.
4. Extent of Subordination Agreement. The subordinations and priorities specified herein shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of whether Lender rescinds, amends, waives any provision of, terminates or reforms, by litigation or otherwise, any of the Financing Documents, including without limitation the Security Agreement, in connection with Borrowers Export Obligations or Other Indebtedness. No delay or waiver on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege granted under the Export Loan Agreement or any other Financing Document shall have any effect on the subordinations and priorities specified herein.
5. [RESERVED].
6. Term. This Agreement will be for a term beginning on the effective date hereof and continuing through the payment and performance in full of all of Borrowers Export Obligations.
7. Amendment. This Agreement shall not be amended except in writing by Lender and acknowledged by Borrower.
