been incurred or may be incurred in the future by future advances or other

financial accommodations made or extended by a Senior Creditor to a Company

pursuant to the Senior Creditor Documents.

 

                  (d) If the Junior Creditor in violation of this Agreement

shall commence, prosecute or participate in any suit, action or proceeding

against any Company or shall attempt to enforce, foreclose or realize upon any

security for the Junior Debt, including, without limitation, the Senior Creditor

Collateral, such Company or any Senior Creditor may interpose as a defense or

plea the making of this Agreement and any Senior Creditor may intervene and

interpose such defense in its name or in the name of such Company, and such

Company or such Senior Creditor may by virtue of this Agreement restrain the

Creditor may have been granted a Lien or in which any Leaded Equipment may be

located, the Junior Creditor agrees that it will do nothing to impede or impair

the rights of the Senior Creditors to enter upon such premises without force or
