Subordination.
2.1
Subordination of Subordinated Debt to Senior Debt. The Borrower covenants and agrees, and each Subordinated Creditor by its execution of this Agreement likewise covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Transaction 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 and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior Payment in Full of all 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 the Borrower or any Obligor:
(a)
All Senior Debt shall first be Paid in Full before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to the 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 the Senior Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditor and to be applied to the outstanding amount of Senior Debt held by the Senior Creditor) until all Senior Debt is Paid in Full. Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, (i) each Subordinated Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to the Senior Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditor, and (ii) each Subordinated Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Agent, in the name of Subordinated Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.
(c)
Each Subordinated Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing the Senior Debt.
(d)
Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that the Senior Creditor may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide financing to the Borrower on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as the Senior Creditor, in its sole discretion, may decide. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees not to object to any of the foregoing. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will: (i) not seek to provide financing to the Borrower in any Proceeding; (ii) support, and not object to or oppose, any sale or other disposition of any property under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable law if the Senior Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition; and (iii) not propose, seek and/or support confirmation of any plan to which the Senior Creditor has not consented in writing; each Subordinated Creditor agrees to object to and vote to reject confirmation of any plan which the Senior Creditor has objected to and/or rejected in writing. Each Subordinated Creditor waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the Senior Creditor’s election, in any Proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, 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 the Borrower, as debtor in possession.
(e)
Each Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints the Senior Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt upon the failure of any Subordinated Creditor promptly to do so prior to ten (10) Business 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 any Subordinated Creditor to do so prior to five (5) Business Days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided, however, that the Senior Agent shall not have any obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim. In the event that the Senior Agent votes any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, no Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.
-4-
(f)
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 the Senior Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) and the Subordinated Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of such holder.
2.3 Subordinated Debt Payment Restrictions.
(a)
Notwithstanding the terms of the Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents, the Borrower hereby agrees that it may not make, directly or indirectly, 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 Section 2.2 of this Agreement, Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments, which shall continue unabated in the absence of a Senior Default or a Proceeding; provided, however, that the Borrower and each Subordinated Creditor further agree that no Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment or any other Distribution may be made by the Borrower, directly or indirectly, or accepted by such Subordinated Creditor if, at the time of such payment, any Senior Default exists; provided, further, that, in the event that a Senior Default exists but a Subordinated Creditor has not received any notice of such Senior Default and accepts a Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment or any other Distribution, then and in such event the Subordinated Creditor, upon receiving a notice of such Senior Default, shall immediately deliver such Permitted Subordinated Debt Payment or other Distribution, as the case may be, to Senior Agent as set forth in Section 2.5 of this Agreement.
(b) The Borrower may resume Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments (and may make any Permitted Subordinated Debt Payments missed due to the application of paragraph (a) of this Section 2.3) upon the earliest to occur of:
(i) in the case of a Senior Payment Default or a Senior Covenant Default, as applicable, upon a cure or waiver thereof; or
(ii) all of the Senior Debt being Paid in Full.
(c) No Senior Default shall be deemed to have been waived for purposes of this Section 2.3 unless and until the Borrower shall have received a written waiver from the Senior Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, the failure of the Borrower to make any payment with respect to the Subordinated Debt by reason of the operation of Section 2.3 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Subordinated Debt Default under the applicable Subordinated Debt Documents.
The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 2.2 would be applicable.
2.4
Subordinated Debt Standstill Provisions. Until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full, no Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor take any Enforcement Action with respect to the Subordinated Debt.
2.5
Incorrect Payments. If any Distribution on account of the Subordinated Debt not permitted to be made by an Obligor or accepted by any Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is made and received by such Subordinated Creditor, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of such Subordinated Creditor, shall be deemed to be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor for the benefit of the Senior Agent and shall be promptly paid over to the Senior Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditor for application pro rata against the outstanding amount of Senior Debt held by the Senior Creditor) to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.
-5-
2.6
Seniority of Liens Securing the Senior Debt. Each Subordinated Creditor by its execution of this Agreement covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents, that prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, each Subordinated Creditor’s security interest in and Lien (as defined in the Senior Security Agreement) on the Collateral (as defined in the Senior Security Agreement) to secure the Subordinated Debt shall be and hereby are subordinate for all purposes and in all respects to the Senior Agent's security interests in and Liens on the Collateral to secure the Senior Debt, regardless of the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien. The Lien priorities set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of any of the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt, by any failure to perfect the Senior Agent's security interest in the Collateral, the subordination of the Senior Agent's Lien on the Collateral, the avoidance or invalidation of the Senior Agent's Lien or by any other action or inaction which any Senior Creditor may take or fail to take with respect to the Collateral. The Subordinated Creditor shall not contest the validity, priority or perfection of the Senior Creditor’s security interest in any collateral in which the Subordinated Creditor may also have an interest. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents, the Subordinated Creditors by their execution of this Agreement consent to the Senior Agent’s filing of Liens (including, without limitation, UCC-1 financing statements) against the assets of the Obligors. The Senior Creditor may take action to foreclose or otherwise realize upon, or protect its interest in, the collateral, in accordance with its agreements with the Obligors, at any time, without the consent of the Subordinated Creditor, and the Subordinated Creditor agrees not to interfere in a manner which would defeat the purpose of this Agreement in connection therewith. So long as any part of the Senior Debt is outstanding, if the Senior Creditor has agreed to release its security interest in any of the collateral in connection with the realization of any of its rights with respect to such collateral in any commercially reasonable disposition, the Senior Creditor is hereby authorized as the Creditor’s attorney in fact to execute releases and discharges of the Subordinated Creditor’s liens and security interests in such collateral.
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 held by it or any Subordinated Debt Transaction Document: (i) without giving prior written notice of such action to the Senior Agent; and (ii) unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent 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 the Senior Agent and the Senior Creditor arising under this Agreement.
(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 the Subordinated Creditors, as provided in Section 10 hereof.
2.8
Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16 hereof, each Subordinated Creditor will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of the Subordinated Note, 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 September 26, 2017 by and among the holders of Note (as such term is defined in the Subordination Agreement) (collectively, the “Senior Creditor”) issued by the Borrower (as defined below) pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 26, 2017, by and among the Borrower and the Senior Creditor from time to time party thereto (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), the holders of the Subordinated Note (as such term is defined in the Subordination Agreement) (collectively, the “Subordinated Creditors”), and the Borrower to the indebtedness (including interest) owed by the Borrower to the Senior Creditor under the Note and to indebtedness refinancing the indebtedness originally issued in connection therewith, subject to the terms of 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.”

3.
Modifications to Transaction Documents; Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with, and to the extent permitted by, the terms and provisions contained in the Transaction Documents. The Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents may not be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified without the prior consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Note then outstanding; provided, that such majority must include each holder of at least $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes (the “Required Holders”) and, in any event, solely to the extent permitted by, the other terms and provisions contained in the Subordinated Debt Transaction Documents.
4.
Waiver of Certain Rights by Subordinated Creditor. Each Subordinated Creditor hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require the Senior Agent or the Senior Creditors to marshal any property of the Borrower or any other Obligor of the Senior Debt for the benefit of such Subordinated Creditor or to pursue any other remedy in its power. The Subordinated Creditors waive notice of acceptance of this Agreement and presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor, notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate or demand payment of any Senior Debt any and all other notices to which the Subordinated Creditor might otherwise be entitled, and diligence in collecting any Senior Debt, and agrees that the Senior Creditor may, once or any number of times, modify the terms of any Senior Debt, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate, renew or forbear to enforce payment of any or all Senior Debt, , all without notice to the Subordinated Creditor and without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligations of the Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement
5.

Representations and Warranties of Each Subordinated Creditor.

Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that in the event that all or any part of a payment made with respect to the Senior Debt is recovered from the holders of the Senior Debt in a Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution received by such Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Subordinated Debt at any time after the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been received by such Subordinated Creditor in trust as property of the holders of the Senior Debt, and such Subordinated Creditor shall forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Agent for application to the Senior Debt until the Senior Debt is Paid in Full.
