For purposes of the foregoing clauses (i) and (iii), any Junior Default which arises solely because of the existence of a breach or violation of the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Senior Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement (and shall not serve as the basis for a Junior Default) if the breach or violation under the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Senior Loan Agreement is waived or cured or if the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Senior Loan Agreement is amended to remove such breach or violation. For purposes of Section 2(c) above, any Senior Non-Payment Default which arises solely because of the existence of a breach or violation of the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Junior Note shall be deemed to be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement (and shall not serve as the basis for a Senior Non-Payment Default) if the breach or violation under the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Junior Note is waived or cured or if the CapitalSource Loan Agreement or the Junior Note is amended to remove such breach or violation.

In any such event, the Junior Lender shall demand, sue for, collect or receive every such payment or distribution of cash, property, stock or obligations, give acquittance therefor, file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or nonstatutory proceeding, exercise the rights of the Junior Lender arising under or relating to the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note and vote the claim of the Junior Lender under the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note in its sole discretion in connection with any such event, including, without limitation, the right to participate in any composition of creditors and to vote at creditors’ meetings for the election of trustees, acceptances of plans of reorganization and any other matter upon which the Junior Lender would be otherwise entitled to vote.

In such an event, the Junior Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Senior Lender and grants to the Senior Lender, effective upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the CapitalSource Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, an exclusive power of attorney (which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable), but without imposing any obligation upon the Senior Lender, to demand, sue for, collect or receive every such payment or distribution of cash, property, stock or obligations, to give acquittance therefor, to file claims and proofs of claim in any statutory or nonstatutory proceeding, to exercise the rights of the Junior Lender arising under or relating to the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note and to vote the claim of the Junior Lender under the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note in its sole discretion in connection with any such event, including, without limitation, the right to participate in any composition of creditors and to vote at creditors’ meetings for the election of trustees, acceptances of plans of reorganization and any other matter upon which the Junior Lender would be otherwise entitled to vote. In furtherance of the foregoing, at the request of the Senior Lender, the Junior Lender shall execute and deliver to the Senior Lender a separate power of attorney and such further powers and instruments as the Senior Lender may request to enable the Senior Lender to enforce its rights under this subsection.

          (g) The Senior Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Junior Lender, without incurring responsibility or liability to the Junior Lender and without impairing or releasing any right or remedy of the Senior Lender hereunder:

	(i)		change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, increase or alter the Senior Obligations, or waive defaults under or amend the Senior Loan Agreement, the Senior Note, or any of the other documents executed in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby in any manner or enter into or amend in any manner or waive defaults under any other agreement relating to the Senior Obligations;
	(ii)		sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property by whomsoever at any time pledged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Senior Obligations;
	(iii)		release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any of the Senior Obligations;
	(iv)		exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Borrower or any other Person; or
	(v)		apply any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to the Senior Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Senior Lender agrees not to (i) increase the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Obligations to an aggregate amount greater than $3,000,000, (ii) change the final scheduled maturity date of the Bridge Loan to an earlier date than that in effect on the date hereof, (iii) increase the per annum rate of interest applicable to the Bridge Loan or (iv) add or increase any call premium or prepayment penalty/fee or other fee with respect to the Bridge Loan; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the Senior Lender’s ability to make loans other than the Bridge Loan to the Borrower so long as such loans are not considered Senior Obligations. The immediately preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit or otherwise affect the Senior Lender’s right to accrue and receive payment of interest (including at the default rate and including Postpetition Interest) comprising part of the Senior Obligations.

          (h) The Junior Lender waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement.

          (i) The Junior Lender will cause each note or other instrument that evidences any Junior Obligations (including, without limitation, the Junior Agreement and the Junior Note) to bear upon its face a statement or legend to the effect that such note or other instrument is subordinated to the Senior Obligations in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Agreement. The Junior Lender shall mark its books and records, including any financial statements, to show that the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to the Senior Obligations.

          (j) The Junior Lender will not (i) increase the per annum rate of interest applicable to the Junior Obligations or (ii) make any covenant or event of default under the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note more restrictive than such covenants and events of default thereunder as of the date hereof.

          (k) Subject to the indefeasible payment in full of the Senior Obligations in cash or conversion of the Senior Obligations into shares of Series A Preferred Stock of NationsHealth, the Junior Lender shall be subrogated to the Senior Lender’s rights to receive payments or distributions in cash or property applicable to the Senior Obligations, and no payment or distribution made to the Senior Lender by virtue of this Agreement that otherwise would have been made to the Junior Lender shall be deemed to be a payment by Borrower on account of the Junior Obligations.

          (l) The Junior Lender will not sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of, or any interest in, the Junior Obligations to any Person without having first obtained (i) such Person’s agreement in writing to be bound as the Junior Lender’s successor by the terms of this Agreement or, in the case of an interest in the Junior Obligations, an acknowledgment by such interest holder of the terms hereof, or (ii) the Senior Lender’s prior written consent.

          (m) The Junior Lender agrees that it will not exercise any right of setoff it may have against the Junior Obligations in respect of any obligation owed by the Junior Lender to Borrower.

          (n) If Borrower shall become subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code, and if the Senior Lender desires to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide (or to permit another Person to provide) financing to Borrower under either Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Junior Lender agrees as follows: (i) adequate notice to the Junior Lender shall be deemed to have been given to the Junior Lender if the Junior Lender receives notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the hearing held by the applicable bankruptcy court to consider entry of an order approving such use or financing, provided that nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to entitle the Junior Lender to any notice not required by the Bankruptcy Code and that no such notice need be given with respect to an interim order approving such use or financing so long as the conditions in clause (ii) hereof to avoid an objection by the Junior Lender have been met, and (ii) no objection will be raised by the Junior Lender to any such use or financing on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” of the Junior Lien or any other ground (except such ground as an unsecured creditor shall have to make a permitted objection under law) if (w) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP financing plus the aggregate principal amount of any other “Senior Debt” as defined in the Junior Note as of the date hereof does not exceed the amount of “Senior Debt” (as so defined) permitted under Section 6(c) of the Junior Note, (x) the Junior Lender is granted, with the approval of the applicable bankruptcy court, a lien on and security interest in the post-petition Collateral, which lien shall be (A) subordinate to the Lien of the Senior Lender and any Liens to which the Lien of the Senior Lender is subordinate and (B) have the same priority vis a vis the Senior Obligations as existed prior to the commencement of such case, (y) the Lien granted to the Person providing such financing ranks prior to or pari passu with the pre-petition Lien of the Senior Lender and (z) any cash collateral order or DIP financing documentation does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the cash collateral order or DIP financing documentation. For purposes of this subsection, “Lien” shall mean any liens granted to the Senior Lender pursuant to the Senior Loan Agreement or the Senior Note together with any post-petition liens and/or super-priority claims for Post-Petition Financing and adequate protection of the Senior Lender’s pre-petition liens. For purposes of this subsection, notice of a proposed financing or use of cash collateral shall be deemed given when made in the manner prescribed by this Agreement, or as the applicable bankruptcy court may approve, or, actual notice is given to the Junior Lender or its counsel, whichever is soonest.

          (o) All liens, pledges, and security interests of any nature upon or in any Collateral held by the Junior Lender, including, without limitation, the Junior Lien, shall be and are hereby made inferior and junior to the liens, pledges and security interests of any nature upon or in any Collateral held by or in favor of the Senior Lender, regardless of the failure to perfect or the order or manner of perfection of any such liens, pledges and security interests. The priorities set forth in this Agreement are applicable irrespective of any priority available to the Senior Lender or the Junior Lender under contract or applicable law or any representation or warranty of Borrower to the contrary in any agreement, instrument, or other document to which the Junior Lender is a party.

          (p) The Senior Lender may take any judicial or nonjudicial action, including any action to enforce its liens on or security interests in any or all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, to foreclose, execute, levy upon, or collect or dispose of any or all of the Collateral (each, an “Enforcement Action”) as it shall determine in its sole and exclusive judgment.

          (q) The Junior Lender agrees that, until all the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash or have been converted into shares of Series A Preferred Stock of NationsHealth, the Junior Lender shall not commence or continue to prosecute or otherwise proceed with an Enforcement Action, contact any account debtor of Borrower, or otherwise take any action that will impede, interfere with, restrict or restrain the exercise by the Senior Lender of its right and remedies under the Senior Loan Agreement or the Senior Note or which is contrary, prejudicial or inconsistent with the Senior Lender’s secured position in the Collateral unless (i) a Junior Default has occurred and is continuing, the Junior Lender has delivered a Junior Default Notice to the Senior Lender and either (A) thirty (30) days have expired since the date of the Junior Lender’s delivery of such Junior Default Notice and the Junior Lender has not received a Senior Non-Payment Default Notice from the Senior Lender or (B) the Junior Lender has received a Senior Non-Payment Default Notice from the Senior Lender and one hundred eighty (180) days have expired since the earlier of (x) the date of such receipt and (y) the date of receipt of any CapitalSource Non-Payment Default Notice and at the end of the relevant time period described in (A) and (B), CapitalSource or the Senior Lender have not commenced or are not continuing to prosecute or otherwise proceed with an Enforcement Action, it being understood that (1) the Junior Lender shall not commence any Enforcement Action if no Junior Default has occurred and is continuing (or if there exists no basis for such Junior Default as set forth in Section 2(e) hereof), (2) the Junior Lender shall discontinue any Enforcement Action commenced by it at any time thereafter if CapitalSource or the Senior Lender shall have commenced an Enforcement Action with respect to any Collateral, and (3) in no event shall the Junior Lender have the right to instruct any bank holding proceeds of any Collateral in a lockbox or blocked account as to the disposition of such proceeds. After the CapitalSource Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitment has been terminated, the Senior Lender (to the exclusion of the Junior Lender and the Junior Collateral Agent) shall have (whether or not any default or event of default under the Senior Loan Agreement, the Senior Note, the Junior Agreement, the Junior Note, or any agreement relating thereto shall have occurred and be continuing, and both before and after the occurrence of any Insolvency Event of Borrower) the sole and exclusive right to administer, enforce and consent to all matters in respect of the Collateral, including the right (A) to release, or direct or consent to the release of, with or without consideration, the Collateral from the lien of the Senior Loan Agreement or the Junior Note, and (B) to direct or consent to the sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition of the Collateral, the foreclosure or forbearance from foreclosure in respect of the Collateral (including, without limitation, seeking or not seeking relief from any stay against foreclosure in respect of the Collateral upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event), and the acceptance of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Senior Obligations.

          (r) After the CapitalSource Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitment has been terminated, upon the sale of any Collateral by or on behalf of the Senior Lender (whether in connection with any Enforcement Action by the Senior Lender or otherwise), the Junior Lender and the Junior Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have consented (and does hereby consent) to such sale and to have released (and does hereby release) any Junior Lien in the Collateral being sold in such sale and shall, at the request of the Senior Lender, take all action and, if required, execute and deliver all documents requested by the Senior Lender in connection therewith. Each of the Junior Lender and the Junior Collateral Agent hereby appoints and constitutes the Senior Lender as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes the Senior Lender to make any payment on or take any act necessary or desirable to protect or preserve any of the Collateral. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

          (s) Each of the Junior Lender and the Junior Collateral Agent agrees not to seek to avoid, contest or bring (or join in) any action or proceeding to contest the validity of any rights of the Senior Lender with respect to the Collateral, or the validity or reasonableness of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Senior Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, under the Senior Loan Agreement or the Senior Note, or in respect of any of the Collateral including, without limitation, (i) the timing, method, or manner of collecting, disposing of or liquidating any of the Collateral, (ii) the terms, including the price and percentage of consideration received in cash, of any such disposition or liquidation, or (iii) the failure to dispose of or liquidate any of the Collateral, except that the Junior Lender or Junior Collateral Agent may object on the basis of objections available to an unsecured creditor. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Junior Lender hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (A) any right under Section 9-615(a) of the Code with respect to the application of disposition proceeds to the Senior Obligations, (B) any right to notice and objection under Section 9-620 of the Code, promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, and any other notice with respect to any of the obligations under the Junior Agreement or the Junior Note, and (C) any requirement that the Senior Lender exhaust any right or take any action against Borrower, any other Person, the Collateral, or any other collateral, in each case except that the Junior Lender or Junior Collateral Agent may object on the basis of objections available to an unsecured creditor. In addition, the Junior Lender agrees that the Senior Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any Collateral or to seek recourse against or satisfaction of any of the Senior Obligations from one source before seeking recourse against or satisfaction from another source. The Junior Lender further agrees that the net cash proceeds resulting from the Senior Lender’s exercise of any right to liquidate all or substantially all of the Collateral (after deducting all of the Senior Lender’s expenses related thereto), may be applied by the Senior Lender to such of the Senior Obligations and in such order as the Senior Lender may elect in its sole and absolute discretion, whether due or to become due. The Junior Lender further agrees that all of the Senior Lender’s remedies under the Senior Loan Agreement and the Senior Note shall be cumulative, may be exercised simultaneously against any Collateral and any Borrower or in such order and with respect to such Collateral or such Borrower as the Senior Lender may deem desirable, and are not intended to be exhaustive.

          (t) Notwithstanding the lack of perfection of any of the liens or security interests of the Senior Lender with respect to any or all of the Collateral or any priority in time of perfection of any of the liens or security interests of the Junior Lender over the liens or security interests of the Senior Lender with respect to any or all of the Collateral, the liens and security interests of the Senior Lender with respect to the Collateral shall be superior and prior in right of payment and enforcement to the liens and security interests of the Junior Lender and/or the Junior Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral.
