(c) Noteholder Agent agrees to execute and deliver an agreement for itself and the Noteholders containing terms substantially identical to those contained herein in favor of any assignee or transferee of any or all of the Senior Debt, or any or all rights of Senior Creditors in the property of Debtor (other than pursuant to a participation) or any third person who otherwise refinances, succeeds to or replaces any or all of the Senior Creditors' financing of Debtors pursuant to the Senior Creditor Agreements. 4.3 INSOLVENCY. This Intercreditor Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any Debtor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof and any other Insolvency Proceedings, and all references herein to any Debtor shall be deemed to apply to a trustee for such Debtor and such Debtor as debtor in possession. The relative rights of Senior Creditors and Noteholder Creditors to repayment of the Senior Debt and the Noteholder Debt, respectively, and in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Debtor or any collateral or proceeds of collateral, shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, such Debtor as debtor in possession. This Intercreditor agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding 11 in accordance with its terms. In the event that an Insolvency Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any law of another jurisdiction other than the United States, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the law applicable to such Insolvency Proceeding, or in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of the law, such other general law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. 4.4 BANKRUPTCY FINANCING. If any Debtor shall become subject to a proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and if a Senior Creditor desires to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide financing to such Debtor under either Section 363 or Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, each Noteholder Creditor agrees as follows: (a) adequate notice to such Noteholder shall have been provided for such financing or use of cash collateral if Noteholder Agent receives notice two (2) business days prior to the entry of the order approving such financing or use of cash collateral and (b) no objection will be raised by such Noteholder Creditor, nor will such Noteholder Creditor support any other person objecting to, any such financing or use of cash collateral, so long as (i) the interest rate and other terms are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and (ii) such financing or use of cash collateral is subject to the terms of this Intercreditor Agreement. For purposes of this Section, notice of a proposed financing or use of cash collateral shall be deemed given when given, in the manner prescribed by Section 4.6 hereof, to Noteholder Agent. 4.5 PRIORITIES UNAFFECTED BY ACTION OR INACTION. The priorities in right of payment provided for herein shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the Senior Debt or the Noteholder Debt, nor by any action or inaction which any Creditor may take or fail to take in respect of any collateral or the Senior Debt or Noteholder Debt, as the case may be. 4.6 NOTICES.
