disallowance,   set aside or other   invalidation   is   permanent   and is not later

reversed.   The   subordination   of the Liens of the   Trustee   for the   benefit of

itself and the   Holders   in and to the   Collateral   in favor of the Senior   Lien

Indebtedness   of the   Issuers   or any of the   Guarantors,   including   the Credit

Facility Indebtedness.

 

         Section 2.2   Non-Contest;   Excluded   Assets.   Each Party agrees that it

provided that, any Party may enforce its rights and privileges hereunder without

being deemed to have violated this  

 

 

 

                                       6

<PAGE>

 

provision.    Any   provision    contained   in   this    Agreement   to   the   contrary

notwithstanding,   the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not apply, as

between any Senior Lien Creditor Representative on the one hand, and the Trustee

on the other hand, to any property or assets (including   property or assets that

do   not    constitute    Collateral)    as   to   which   such   Senior   Lien   Creditor

Representative   has a Lien and as to which the Trustee does not have a Lien,   or

as to which the Trustee has a Lien and such Senior Lien Creditor   Representative

does not have a Lien.

 

         Section 2.3        Exercise of Rights.

 

               (a) The Trustee may exercise, and nothing herein shall constitute

a waiver of, any right it may have at law or equity to receive   notice of, or to

commence or join with any   creditor in   commencing   any   Insolvency   Proceeding;

provided   that,   the   exercise   of any such   right by the   Trustee   shall be (i)

subject to the Lien   Priority   and   application   of   proceeds of   Collateral   as

provided in Section 3.4 and (ii) subject to the   provisions   of Sections 3.1 and

3.2.

 

               (b)   Notwithstanding   any other provision hereof, the Trustee may

make such   demands or file such claims as may be necessary to prevent the waiver

or bar of   such   claims   under   applicable   statutes   of   limitations   or   other

statutes, court orders or rules of procedure.

 

         Section   2.4   Priority   of   Liens.   (a)   Irrespective   of any   priority

otherwise   available to the Trustee by law or agreement or   irrespective   of the

order of recording of mortgages,   financing   statements,   security agreements or

other instruments,   and irrespective of the descriptions of Collateral contained

in the Financing   Documents,   including any   financing   statements,   each of the

Trustee   and   the   Senior   Lien   Creditor   Representatives   hereby   agree   among

themselves that their   respective   Liens in the Collateral   shall be governed by

the Lien   Priority,   which   shall be   controlling   in the event of any   conflict

between this Agreement and any of the Financing Documents.

 

               (b) Each Party agrees that this   Agreement   and the Lien Priority

shall   remain in full   force and   effect   without   regard   to,   and shall not be

released, suspended,   discharged,   terminated, modified or otherwise affected by

any   circumstance   or occurrence   whatsoever   (other than in accordance with the

terms   hereof),   including   any of the   following   (whether   or not   such   Party

consents   thereto   or has   notice   thereof):   (i) any change in or waiver of the

time,   place or manner of   payment,   or any other   term,   of any of the   Secured

Liabilities   or Financing   Documents,   any waiver of or any renewal,   extension,

increase,   refinancing,   amendment or   modification   of or addition,   consent or

supplement   to or deletion   from,   or any other   action or inaction   under or in

respect of, any of the Secured   Liabilities or Financing   Documents or any other

document,   instrument   or   agreement   referred to therein or any   assignment   or

transfer of any of the Secured   Liabilities   or   Financing   Documents;   (ii) any

furnishing of any additional   collateral   for any of the Secured   Liabilities or

any sale,   exchange,   release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral

for any of the Secured Liabilities;   (iii) any settlement, release or compromise

of any   of the   Secured   Liabilities   or   Financing   Documents,   any   collateral

therefor,   or any liability of any other party   (including any other Party) with

respect to any

 

 

 

                                       7

<PAGE>

 

of the Secured   Liabilities   or Financing   Documents,   or any   subordination   of

payment of any Secured   Liabilities   to the   payment of any other   indebtedness,

liability or obligation of any of the Issuers,   Guarantors or any   subsidiary of

any   Issuer;   (iv)   any   bankruptcy,   insolvency,   reorganization,   composition,

adjustment,   merger,   consolidation,   dissolution,   liquidation   or   other   like

proceeding   or   occurrence   relating to any of the Issuers,   Guarantors,   or any

subsidiary   of any   Issuer,   or any   other   change   in the   ownership,   control,

composition   or nature of any of the Issuers,   Guarantors,   or any subsidiary of

any Issuer;   (v) any application of sums paid by any of the Issuers,   Guarantors

or any subsidiary of any Issuer with respect to any of the Secured   Liabilities,

except   to   the   extent   actually   applied   against   such   Secured   Liabilities,

regardless   of   what   other   liabilities   of   the   Issuers,   Guarantors,   or any

subsidiary   of any Issuer   remain   unpaid;   or (vi) the   failure of any Party to

assert   any claim or   demand or to   enforce   any   right or   remedy   against   the

Issuers, Guarantors, any subsidiary of any Issuer or any other Person (including

any other   Party   with   respect   to any of the   Secured   Liabilities)   under the

provisions of any of the Financing Documents or otherwise.

 

         Section 2.5   Insolvency.   (a) The   provisions of this Agreement will be

applicable   both before and after the filing or   commencement   of any Insolvency

Proceeding   and all converted or succeeding   cases in respect   thereof,   and all

references   herein to any   Issuer or   Guarantor   shall be deemed to apply to the

trustee for such Issuer and/or   Guarantor and such Issuer and/or   Guarantor as a

debtor-in-possession.   The relative rights of the Senior Lien Creditors in or to

any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral

shall continue after the filing of such Insolvency   Proceeding on the same basis

as prior to the date of such filing,   subject to any court order   approving   the

financing   of,   or use of   cash   collateral   by,   any   Issuer   or   Guarantor   as

debtor-in-possession.   If,   in any   Insolvency   Proceeding   and at any   time any

Credit   Facility   Indebtedness   exists that has not been Fully Paid,   all of the

Senior Lien   Creditors (or such number of the Senior Lien   Creditors as may have

the power to bind all of them):

 

                    (i) consent to any order for use of cash collateral or agree

     to the   extension   of   any   Credit   Facility   Indebtedness   (including   any

     debtor-in-possession financing) to any Issuer or Guarantor;

 

                    (ii)   consent   to   any   order   granting   any   priming   lien,

     replacement   lien,   cash   payment   or other   relief   on   account   of Credit

     Facility   Indebtedness   as adequate   protection (or its equivalent) for the

     interests of the Senior Lien Creditors in the property subject to such Lien

     of a Senior Lien Creditor Representative;

 

                    (iii) consent to any order approving post-petition financing

     pursuant to Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (including any

     "roll-up" of Credit Facility Indebtedness); or

 

                    (iv)   consent to any order   relating   to a sale of assets of

     any Issuer or Guarantor that provides, to the extent the sale is to be free

     and clear of Liens, that all Liens of the Senior Lien Creditor

 

 

 

                                       8

<PAGE>

 

     Representatives and the Lien of the Trustee shall attach to the proceeds of

     the sale,

 

then the Trustee and the Holders will not oppose or otherwise   contest the entry

of such order.
