Section 5. Limitations on Individual Remedies.

 

(a) No Lender shall take any Enforcement Action (1) without the consent of the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders, or (2) except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders shall have consented thereto with respect to any other Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, control any and all aspects of each foreclosure proceeding or other similar sale, liquidation or other disposal of the Collateral.

 

(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent any Lender from exercising rights which might otherwise be available to it to (i) dispute with, or commence a declaratory judgment action (whether as an arbitration proceeding or otherwise) against, the Borrower or Guarantor with respect to the interpretation of any Loan Document or any calculation thereunder, (ii) take any action to preserve or protect the validity, enforceability, attachment or perfection of its lien in the Collateral, or (iii) take any action to sue for damages, seek equitable remedies or assert defenses in connection with the enforcement of such Lender’s rights and the Borrower’s or the Gurantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents, so long as in the case of any of the foregoing items (i) through (iii), such action would not impair the value of the Collateral or breach any obligation of such Lender under this Agreement.

 

 

 

Section 6. Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Event:

 

(a) each Lender agrees to cause the obligations of the Borrower owing to it to become due and payable and, at least 30 days before the time required by applicable law or rule, to file proof of claim therefor, in default of which the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized so to declare and file in order to effectuate the provisions hereof; and

 

(b) the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, have the right, and is hereby authorized, to vote the interest of each Lender with respect to the obligations of the Borrower and Guarantor, including the right to make all acceptances, rejections, consents or approvals on its behalf (including the right to accept, approve or disapprove of any plan of reorganization) in connection with any insolvency or other proceeding relating to any Insolvency Event, and to execute and deliver for and on behalf of each Lender any agreement, instrument or other document in connection therewith, and if for any reason this Section 6(b) shall not be enforceable, each Lender agrees to vote and give or make such acceptances, rejections, consents or approvals in the manner directed by the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 7. Sharing and Application of Payments. Each of the Lenders shall reallocate any payments or Collateral received by them following any default under the Loan Documents in a manner consistent with the priorities provided for in this Agreement and if, after a default under the Loan Documents, any Lender receives any cash or other Collateral in a disproportionate amount, such Lender shall take such action as may be necessary to reallocate such cash or other Collateral in order to give effect to the intent of this Agreement.

 

Section 8. No Challenge. Each Lender agrees that it will not make any legal, equitable or other challenge to the non-avoidability or perfection of any lien granted to any other Lender, nor will any lender commence or maintain any action or proceeding in that regard.

 

Section 9. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to execute and deliver such further instruments and agreements and to take such further action as any other party hereto may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Intercreditor Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no other person (including, without limitation, the Borrower) shall be a third party beneficiary hereof or shall have, or shall be deemed to have, any right hereunder.

 

Section 10. Notices. All notices, requests, demands or other communications hereunder shall be given in all respects in accordance with the Loan Documents.

 

Section 11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided, however, that no party hereto shall assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any Person unless such Person agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement.

 

Section 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Section 13. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 14. Headings. Section or other headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

Section 15. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, amended or otherwise modified except in writing signed by each of the Lenders. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
