In the event that any Junior Subordinated Notes shall be declared due and payable as the result of the occurrence of any one or more Events of Default in respect thereof, under circumstances when the terms of Section 13.4 do not prohibit payment on Junior Subordinated Notes, no payment shall be made in respect of any Junior Subordinated Notes unless and until all Senior Subordinated Notes shall have been paid in full in cash or such declaration and its consequences shall have been rescinded and all such Defaults and Events of Default shall have been remedied or waived or shall have ceased to exist.

13.9 Turnover of Payments.

     (a) If:

     (i) any payment or distribution shall be collected or received by any holders of Subordinated Debt in contravention of any of the terms of this Article 13 and prior to the payment in full in cash of the Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans at the time outstanding; and

     (ii) Agent or the Senior Agent shall have notified such holders of Subordinated Debt, within one hundred eighty (180) days of any such payment or distribution, of the facts by reason of which such collection or receipt so contravenes this Article 13;

If after any amount is delivered pursuant to this Section 13.9(a), whether or not such amounts have been applied to the payment of Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans, and the outstanding Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans shall thereafter be paid in full in cash by the Company or otherwise other than pursuant to this Section 13.9(a), the holders of Senior Financing or the Senior Term C Loans shall return to such holders of Subordinated Debt an amount equal to the amount delivered to such holders of Senior Financing or the Senior

Term C Loans pursuant to this Section 13.9(a). Any optional prepayment made in respect of the Subordinated Debt that violates this Agreement shall also be subject to this Section 13.9(a).

     (b) If:

     (i) any payment or distribution shall be collected or received by any holders of Junior Subordinated Notes in contravention of any of the terms of this Article 13 and prior to the payment in full in cash of the Senior Subordinated Notes at the time outstanding; and

     (ii) the Agent shall have notified such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes, within one hundred eighty (180) days of any such payment or distribution, of the facts by reason of which such collection or receipt so contravenes this Article 13;

then such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes will deliver such payment or distribution, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior Subordinated Notes in full in cash, to the holders of such Senior Subordinated Notes and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes as the property of the holders of such Senior Subordinated Notes. If after any amount is delivered to the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 13.9(b), whether or not such amounts have been applied to the payment of Senior Subordinated Notes, and the outstanding Senior Subordinated Notes shall thereafter be paid in full in cash by the Company or otherwise other than pursuant to this Section 13.9(b), the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes shall return to such holders of Junior Subordinated Notes an amount equal to the amount delivered to such holders of Senior Subordinated Notes pursuant to this Section 13.9(b).

13.10 Obligations Not Impaired.

     (a) No Impairment of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans and no right of any present or future holder of any Senior Subordinated Notes to enforce the subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

     (b) No Impairment of Subordinated Debts. Nothing contained in this Section 13.10 shall impair, as between the Company and any holder of Subordinated Debt, the obligation of the Company to pay to such holder the principal thereof and prepayment premium, if any, and interest thereon as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or prevent any holder of any Subordinated Debt from exercising all rights, powers and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or under this Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, all subject to the rights of the holders of the Senior Financing and the Senior Term C Loans to receive cash,

Securities or other property otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of Subordinated Debt.

13..11 Payment of Debt; Subrogation. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Financing and Senior Term C Loans in cash, the holders of Subordinated Debt shall be subrogated to all rights of any holder of Senior Financing or any holder of Senior Term C Loans to receive any further payments or distributions applicable thereto until the Subordinated Debt shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of Subordinated Debt by reason of such subrogation, of cash, Securities or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans, on the one hand, and the holders of Subordinated Debt, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Financing or Senior Term C Loans and not on account of Subordinated Debt. Upon the payment in full of all Senior Subordinated Notes in cash, the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes shall be subrogated to all rights of any holder of Senior Subordinated Notes to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Subordinated Notes until the Junior Subordinated Notes shall have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes by reason of such subrogation, of cash, Securities or other property which otherwise would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, shall, as between the Company and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Subordinated Notes, on the one hand, and the holders of Junior Subordinated Notes, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior Subordinated Notes and not on account of Junior Subordinated Notes.
