Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Company.
 
On August 13, 2012, the Company, Prentice Consumer Partners and the other investor party (the "Other Investor") thereto entered into a Note and Warrant Agreement (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which (A) Prentice Consumer Partners purchased from the Company a secured subordinated promissory note (the "Note") in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 and warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 476,190 Shares at an exercise price of $1.05 per Share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000  and (B) the Other Investor purchased from the Company a secured subordinated convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,00 and warrants to purchase 476,190 Shares at an exercise price of $1.05 per Share (the "Other Investor Securities") for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000.  The closing (the "Closing") of the purchase and sale of the Note, the Warrants and the Other Investor Securities pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement was consummated on August 13, 2012 (the "Closing Date").  At the Closing, Prentice Consumer Partners received an origination fee of $30,000.
 
    The Note bears interest at an annual rate equal to 15% per annum, with interest accruing on a cumulative, compounding basis. The Note matures on the earliest to occur of (i) August 13, 2013, (ii) a change of control of the Company (as defined therein) and (iii) the date on which the Company consummates a debt or equity financing resulting in proceeds to the Company of at least $7,500,000.

The Note is secured by certain assets of the Company and its subsidiaries as set forth in the Note.  In connection with the issuance of the Note, the Company, Prentice Consumer Partners and certain of the Company’s other creditors entered into an Intercreditor Agreement, dated August 13, 2012 (the "Intercreditor Agreement"), whereby the parties thereto established lien priority, relative rights and other creditors’ rights matters with respect to the Note and the Company’s other outstanding indebtedness.

Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the Warrants are exercisable from and after the date that Stockholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained through and until  August 13, 2019.  The term "Stockholder Approval" means such approval of the stockholders of the Company as may be necessary under the rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market or any other national securities exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed from time to time, in order to permit (i) the exercise in full of the Warrants and (ii) the exercise and/or conversion in full of the Other Investor Securities.
 
               As set forth in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Other Investor has certain demand registration rights with respect to the Shares underlying the Other Investor Securities.  Prentice Consumer Partners has certain “piggy-back” shelf registration rights in respect of the Shares underlying the Warrants if the Other Investor exercises its demand registration rights.
         
Each of Prentice Consumer Partners and the Other Investor have agreed to vote their respective Shares, and to cause their affiliates to vote their respective Shares, in favor of the Stockholder Approval.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Note, the Warrants and the Intercreditor Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the instruments filed as exhibits to this Amendment, which are incorporated by reference to this Item 6.

2. Subordination.
 
a.  
Subordination of Junior Debt to Senior Debt.  Unless and until this Agreement is terminated by written notice from the Senior Creditor and all Senior Debt is Paid in Full, each Junior Creditor hereby agrees with the Senior Creditor that the Junior Debt is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Senior Debt, whether now existing or hereafter arising. Each holder of Senior Debt, whether such Senior Debt is now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed, shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance upon the provisions contained in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the terms of the Junior Loan Documents, each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not make, and each Junior Creditor hereby agrees that it will not accept, any Distribution with respect to the Junior Debt until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full; provided, however, that in the case of Rho only, the Junior Debt owed to Rho may be converted into Equity Interests in Bluefly at any time and from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Junior Loan Documents; and provided further, however, that so long as the Payment Conditions have been satisfied, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers may pay, and the Junior Creditors may accept, Permitted Distributions.  If any Distribution on account of the Junior Debt that is not permitted to be made by the Borrowers or accepted by the Junior Creditors under this Agreement is made and received by any Junior Creditor, such Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of such Junior Creditor, shall be held in trust by such Junior Creditor for the benefit of the  Senior Creditor and shall be promptly paid over to the Senior Creditor for application to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid until all Senior Debt has been Paid in Full.
 
b.  
Subordination of Liens and Security Interests; Agreement Not to Contest; Agreement to Release Liens.
 
i.  
Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, each Junior Creditor’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to secure the Junior Debt shall be and hereby are subordinate for all purposes and in all respects to the Senior Creditor’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral to secure the Senior Debt, regardless of the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien.  The Lien priorities set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of any of the Senior Debt or the Junior Debt, by any  failure to perfect the Senior Creditor’s security interest in the Collateral, the subordination of the Senior Creditor’s Lien on the Collateral, the avoidance or invalidation of the Senior Creditor’s Lien or by any other action or inaction which the Senior Creditor may take or fail to take in respect of the Collateral.
 
ii.  
Each of the Senior Creditor and each Junior Creditor shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Lien in and to each item constituting the Collateral.  This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors and shall not impose on the Senior Creditor or any Junior Creditor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. Each Junior Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Debt, the Senior Loan Documents, or the liens and security interests of the Senior Creditor in the Collateral securing the Senior Debt.
 
iii.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement between any Junior Creditor and any Borrower, until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, only the Senior Creditor shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer, release or other disposition of the Collateral or take any action with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Creditor.  In the event that the Senior Creditor releases or agrees to release any of its Liens or security interests in any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof or any of the Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, each Junior Creditor shall promptly consent to such sale or other disposition and promptly execute and deliver to the Senior Creditor such consent to such sale other disposition, termination statements and releases as the Senior Creditor shall reasonably request to effect the release of the liens and security interests of such Junior Creditor in such Collateral.  In the event of any sale, transfer, or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents until such time as the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full.
 
3. Standstill Provisions.   Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, the Senior Creditor shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce (or not enforce) the terms of the Senior Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its discretion and the exercise of its business judgment, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate any Collateral. In that regard, no Junior Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor, take any Enforcement Action with respect to any Junior Debt or the Collateral; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Junior Event of Default where the circumstances giving rise to such Junior Event of Default do not constitute an Identified Senior Event of Default, then the Junior Creditors shall have the right, without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor, to accelerate the Junior Debt and, so long as the Payment Conditions have been satisfied, receive Permitted Distributions from the Borrowers in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of the Junior Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Junior Creditor may, subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, file and defend proofs of claim against any Borrower in any Insolvency Proceeding involving such Borrower.  Any Distributions or other proceeds of any Enforcement Action obtained by any Junior Creditor in violation of the foregoing prohibition shall in any event be held in trust by it for the benefit of the Senior Creditor and promptly paid or delivered to the Senior Creditor in the form received until all Senior Debt has been Paid in Full.  Each Junior Creditor waives any and all rights to affect the method or challenge the appropriateness of any action by the Senior Creditor with respect to management, performance and enforcement of the Senior Loan Documents and the enforcement and exercise of all privileges, rights and remedies.  The Senior Creditor shall not have any liability to any Junior Creditor in respect of any Junior Creditor’s failure to obtain repayment in full of the Junior Debt.
 
4. No Subrogation.  No Junior Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Creditor with respect to receipt of Distributions on account of the Junior Debt unless and until all of the Senior Debt shall have been Paid in Full.  For the purposes of such subrogation, no Distributions made to the holders of the Senior Debt to which any Junior Creditor would be entitled except for this Agreement and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the Senior Creditor by such Junior Creditor shall, as among the Borrowers, their creditors and such Junior Creditor, be deemed to be a payment by the Borrowers to or on account of the Junior Debt.  Each Junior Creditor agrees that in the event that all or any part of a payment made with respect to the Senior Debt is recovered from the holders of the Senior Debt in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution received by such Junior Creditor with respect to the Junior Debt at any time after the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been received by such Junior Creditor in trust as property of the holders of the Senior Debt and such Junior Creditor shall forthwith deliver the same to the Senior Creditor for application to the Senior Debt, until the Senior Debt has been paid in full.
 
5. Modifications and Amendments.
 
a.  
Modifications to Senior Loan Documents.  The Senior Creditor may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to any Junior Creditor, without incurring liability to any Junior Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of any Junior Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Debt (including any increase in the amount thereof), or amend in any manner any Senior Loan Document.
 
b.  
Modifications to Junior Loan Documents.  Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Junior Loan Documents, the Borrowers and the Junior Creditors shall not, without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor, agree to any amendment, modification, or supplement to the Junior Loan Documents if such amendment, modification or supplement would add or change any terms in a manner materially adverse to the Borrowers or the Senior Creditor (it being understood and agreed that the addition of any Junior Event of Default not existing on the date hereof would be materially adverse to the Borrowers and the Senior Creditor), or shorten the final maturity or require any payment to be made sooner than originally scheduled or increase the interest rate applicable thereto.
 
6. Waiver of Certain Rights by Junior Creditors.
 
a.  
Marshaling.  Each Junior Creditor hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require the Senior Creditor to marshal any property of the Borrowers for the benefit of such Junior Creditor.
 
b.  
Rights Relating to Senior Creditor’s Actions with Respect to the Collateral.  Each Junior Creditor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing the Senior Creditor from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Junior Creditor hereby agrees (a) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which the Senior Creditor applies the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by the Senior Creditor of rights and remedies under the Senior Loan Documents and (b) that the Senior Creditor has not assumed any obligation to act as the agent for such Junior Creditor with respect to the Collateral.  The Senior Creditor shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full.  In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Creditor may enforce the provisions of the Senior Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole business judgment. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction.  In conducting any public or private sale under the UCC, the Senior Creditor shall give each Junior Creditor such notice of such sale as may be required by the applicable UCC; provided, however, that 10 days’ notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice.
 
c.  
Preservation of Rights.  The Senior Creditor shall have no duty to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Collateral in its possession and the Senior Creditor shall not have any liability to any Junior Creditor for any claims and liabilities at any time arising with respect to the Collateral in its possession.
 
d.  
Collateral Bailee.  In the event that possession or control of any Collateral is required under applicable law to perfect a lien therein, then each of the Senior Creditor and each Junior Creditor agrees that it shall hold or control any such Collateral in its possession or control as collateral bailee for the other.
 
7. Representations and Warranties.
 
a. Each Junior Creditor hereby represents and warrants to the Senior Creditor that as of the date hereof : (a) such Junior Creditor has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; (b) the execution of this Agreement by such Junior Creditor will not violate or conflict with the organizational documents of such Junior Creditor, the Junior Loan Documents or any law, regulation or order or require any consent or approval which has not been obtained; and (c) this Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Junior Creditor, enforceable against such Junior Creditor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.
 
b. The Senior Creditor hereby represents and warrants to each Junior Creditor that as of the date hereof : (a) the Senior Creditor has the power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action; (b) the execution of this Agreement by the Senior Creditor will not violate or conflict with the organizational documents of the Senior Creditor, the Senior Loan Documents or any law, regulation or order or require any consent or approval which has not been obtained; and (c) this Agreement is the legal, valid, and binding obligation of the Senior Creditor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.
 
8. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.
 
a.  
This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.  All references in this Agreement to any Borrower shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency Proceeding.
 
b.  
In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower:
 
i.  
All Senior Debt shall first be Paid in Full and all commitments to lend under the Senior Loan Documents shall be terminated before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Junior Creditor on account of any Junior Debt.
 
ii.  
Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Junior Debt shall be delivered to the Senior Creditor, and applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents. Each Junior Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to the Senior Creditor as set forth above. Each Junior Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Senior Creditor, in the name of such Junior Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.
 
iii.  
Each Junior Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of any portion of the Senior Debt or any Liens and security interests securing any portion of the Senior Debt.
 
iv.  
Each Junior Creditor agrees that the Senior Creditor may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide debtor-in-possession financing to the Borrowers on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as the Senior Creditor, in its sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, the Borrowers may grant to the Senior Creditor liens and security interests upon all of the property of the Borrowers, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of all Senior Debt owing to the Senior Creditor (whether such Senior Debt arose prior to the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by the Senior Creditor during such Insolvency Proceeding and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the Liens in favor of any Junior Creditor on the property of the Borrowers. Each Junior Creditor agrees that it will not object to or oppose any such cash collateral usage or debtor-in-possession financing or any sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the Senior Debt free and clear of security interests, liens, or other claims of any Junior Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the Senior Creditor has consented to such sale or disposition. Each Junior Creditor agrees not to assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of such Junior Creditor’s interest in any Collateral in any Proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of the Senior Creditor; provided that, the Senior Creditor will not object to any request by any Junior Creditor for adequate protection replacement liens on all pre-petition and post-petition property of the Borrowers upon which the Senior Creditor is also granted adequate protection replacement liens, with such liens in favor of such Junior Creditor being subject in all respects to this Agreement; provided further that other than such replacement liens no Junior Creditor will seek any other form of adequate protection. Each Junior Creditor waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the Senior Creditor’s election, in any Insolvency Proceeding, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by any Borrower, as debtor in possession.
 
v.  
Each Junior Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver, and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Junior Debt reasonably requested by the Senior Creditor in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Senior Creditor to file such proofs of claim upon the failure of such Junior Creditor to do so prior to three (3) Business Days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim; provided, however, that the Senior Creditor shall not be permitted to vote such claim and all voting rights with respect thereto shall be retained by the Junior Creditors.  Each of the Junior Creditors agrees not to vote for any plan of reorganization that does not provide for the prior payment in full of the Senior Debt or otherwise vote its claims or interests in any Insolvency Proceeding (including voting for, or supporting, confirmation of any plans of reorganization) in a manner that would be inconsistent with such Junior Creditor’s covenants and agreements contained herein.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Senior Creditor shall have no affirmative obligation to file any such proof of claim on behalf of any Junior Creditor.
 
vi.  
The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the Liens or security interests securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated, or disallowed in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding, and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of such holder.
 
vii.  
Each of the Borrowers, the Senior Creditor and each Junior Creditor acknowledges and agrees with respect to the Collateral that (i) the grants of Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Senior Loan Documents and the Junior Loan Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding of any Borrower.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claims of the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors in respect of any Collateral, constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Senior Creditor shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to it from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such liquidation or Insolvency Proceeding, before any Distribution from, or in respect of, any such Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by any Junior Creditor with each Junior Creditor hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Creditor amounts otherwise received or receivable by it to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, regardless of whether such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of such Junior Creditor.
 
9. Miscellaneous.
 
a. No impairment.  No right of the Senior Creditor to enforce the provisions hereof shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act taken in good faith, or failure to act, which failure to act is in good faith, by the Senior Creditor or by any noncompliance by the Borrowers with the terms and provisions and covenants herein.  Each Junior Creditor and each Borrower agree not to take any action to avoid or to seek to avoid the observance and performance of the terms and conditions hereof, and shall at all times in good faith carry out all such terms and conditions.
 
b. Junior Debt Not Affected.  The subordination provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Junior Creditors, on the one hand, and the Senior Creditor, on the other hand, as among themselves.  As between the Borrowers and the Junior Creditors, nothing contained herein shall impair the unconditional and absolute obligation of the Borrowers to the Junior Creditors to pay the Junior Debt as such Junior Debt shall become due and payable.  No person other than the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors and their respective successors and assigns shall have any rights hereunder.
 
c. Continuing Subordination; Termination of Agreement.  This is a continuing agreement of subordination and the Senior Creditor may continue, at any time and without notice to the Junior Creditors, to extend credit or other financial accommodations and loan monies to or for the benefit of the Borrowers on the faith hereof.  This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, after which this Agreement shall terminate without further action on the part of the parties hereto.
 
d. Amendments; Modifications.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors, and then such modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.  Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.
 
e. Further Assurances.  Each party to this Agreement promptly will execute and deliver such further instruments and agreements and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably requested in writing by any other party hereto that may be necessary or desirable in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.
 
f. Successors and Assigns.    This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and assigns of the Senior Creditor the Junior Creditors, and the Borrowers. To the extent permitted under the Senior Loan Documents, the Senior Creditor may, from time to time, without notice to the Junior Creditors, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Debt or any interest therein to any Person and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer, or any subsequent assignment or transfer, the Senior Debt shall, subject to the terms hereof, be and remain Senior Debt for purposes of this Agreement, and every permitted assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Debt or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such permitted assignee or transferee in the Senior Debt, be entitled to rely upon and be the third party beneficiary of the subordination provided under this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the terms and provisions hereof to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were initially a party hereto.  Each Junior Creditor further acknowledges that this Agreement will inure to the benefit of any third Person who refinances or succeeds to or replaces any or all of the Senior Debt, whether such successor financing or replacement occurs by transfer, assignment or repayment without the necessity of any further writing; however,  each Junior Creditor agrees, upon request of such third Person, to execute and deliver an agreement with such Person containing terms substantially identical to those contained herein (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate).
 
g. Conflict.  In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of the Junior Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.
 
h. Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies.  The rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions of the Senior Creditor hereunder (hereinafter, the “Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.  No delay or omission by the Senior Creditor in exercising or enforcing any of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof.  No waiver by the Senior Creditor of any of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies or of any default or remedy under any other agreement with the Borrowers or any Junior Creditor shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or thereunder.  No exercise of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies and no other agreement or transaction, of whatever nature, entered into between the Senior Creditor and the Junior Creditors and/or between the Senior Creditor and the Borrowers at any time shall preclude any other or further exercise of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies.  No waiver by the Senior Creditor of any of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a continuing waiver.  All of the Senior Creditor’s Rights and Remedies and all of the Senior Creditor’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, and discretions under any other agreement with the Junior Creditors and/or the Borrowers shall be cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the Senior Creditor at such time or times and in such order of preference as the Senior Creditor in its sole discretion may determine.
 
i. Headings.  The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
 
j. Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
k. Severability.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court or governmental authority, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be modified to the minimum extent permitted by law so as most fully to achieve the intention of this Agreement.
 
l. Specific Performance.  The Senior Creditor may demand specific performance of this Agreement.  The Junior Creditors and each Borrower each hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the Senior Creditor.
 
m. Expenses.  In the event that the Senior Creditor undertakes any action that is reasonably necessary in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement (whether or not suit is commenced), the Junior Creditors and the Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Senior Creditor in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
 
n. Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
 
o. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
 
i.  
EACH OF THE JUNIOR CREDITORS AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS SITTING IN SUFFOLK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE JUNIOR CREDITORS AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE SENIOR CREDITOR MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY JUNIOR CREDITOR, THE BORROWERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
 
ii.  
EACH OF THE JUNIOR CREDITORS AND EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (I) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE JUNIOR CREDITORS AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
 
iii.  
Each of the Junior Creditors and each Borrower agrees that any action commenced by such Person asserting any claim or counterclaim arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought solely in a court referred to in Paragraph (i) of this Section.
 
p.  
Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT EACH OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS HEREIN.
