(i) any Lien on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt, now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Senior Lender or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the Junior Debt; and

(ii) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of Junior Lender or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Debt.

All Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Debt shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Junior Debt for all purposes.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Senior Debt (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class or classes (and separate and distinct claims) from the Junior Debt (and the security therefor) in any Proceeding or otherwise.

(b) Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Junior Lender agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Proceeding), (i) the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of Senior Lender in the Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document, or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the Senior Debt and the Junior Debt granted and/or established in this Agreement or any Senior Debt Document with respect to such Liens; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of Senior Lender to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt as provided in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.2(a).

(c) No New Liens.  So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, the parties hereto agree that no Loan Party nor any of its subsidiaries shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any property or assets of any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries to secure any Junior Debt unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants a Lien on such asset SFDOCS01/318383.412Midway – Subordination Agreement

or property to secure the Senior Debt; provided that to the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to Senior Lender, Junior Lender agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to it pursuant to or as a result of Liens on the Collateral granted in contravention of this Section 3.1(c) shall be subject to Section 3.3(a).

(d) Effectiveness of Lien Priorities.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Lien priorities provided for in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, on account of:  (i) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Debt Documents; or (ii) any amendment, change or modification of any Senior Debt Documents or the Junior Debt Documents, in each case, in a manner not prohibited by this Agreement.

(a) In connection with any Senior Enforcement Action, so long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, whether or not a Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries:

take any action to the extent necessary to prevent the running of any applicable statute of limitation or similar restriction on claims, or to assert a compulsory cross-claim or counterclaim against any Obligor;

take any action to seek and obtain specific performance or injunctive relief to compel any Obligor to comply with (or not violate or breach) an obligation under the Junior Debt Documents, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and so long as such action does not require the making of any payments of any Junior Debt or any other monetary payment by any Obligor;

join (but not exercising control over) a judicial foreclosure or Senior Enforcement Action proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the Senior Lender provided, that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere with any Senior Enforcement Action of the Senior Lender, and provided, further, that Junior Lender may not receive any proceeds thereof unless permitted herein;

inspecting or appraising the Collateral or requesting information or reports concerning the Collateral pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents.

(c) Junior Lender agrees that it will not take any action as a secured party that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Senior Debt Documents with SFDOCS01/318383.415Midway – Subordination Agreement

respect to the Collateral, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Senior Debt Document or subordinate the priority of the Senior Debt or grant the Liens securing the Junior Debt equal ranking to the Liens securing any of the Senior Debt.

(d) Junior Lender hereby waives any and all rights it may have solely in its capacity as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which Senior Lender seeks to enforce or collect the Senior Debt or the Liens granted in any of the Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any of Senior Lender is adverse to the interest of Junior Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, nothing in this Article 3 shall restrict or otherwise impede the Junior Lender from exercising its rights and remedies as a secured creditor under the Junior Debt Documents so long as the Junior Lender is otherwise complying with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(f) To the extent any payment with respect to any Senior Debt (whether by or on behalf of any Loan Party, as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be a fraudulent conveyance or a preference in any respect, set aside or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, the Junior Lender, a receiver or similar Person, whether in connection with any Proceeding or otherwise, then the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, for the purposes of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender, be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.  To the extent that any interest, fees, expenses or other charges (including without limitation, post-petition interest) to be paid pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents are disallowed by order of any court, including without limitation by order of a bankruptcy court in any Proceeding, such interest, fees, expenses and charges (including without limitation post-petition interest) shall, as between the Senior Lender and the Junior Lender, be deemed to continue to accrue and be added to the amount to be calculated as the outstanding Senior Debt obligations.

3.3 Payments.

(c) So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, and except for Permitted Junior Debt Payments made in accordance with Section 2.3(a), any payments, from Collateral or any proceeds thereof (or any distribution in respect of the Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) or otherwise, received by Junior Lender, whether in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off or any other Collection Action permitted hereunder) relating to the Collateral (excluding any Reorganization Subordinated Securities) or otherwise, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Senior Lender) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Senior Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for Junior Lender to the extent Junior Lender fails to make any such endorsement within three (3) Business Days of such request by Senior Collateral Agent.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

So long as the Senior Debt has not been Paid in Full, all proceeds of any such policy shall first be paid to Senior Lender to the extent required under the Senior Debt Documents before any amount is paid to Junior Lender. Until the Senior Debt has been Paid in Full, if Junior Lender shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall pay such proceeds over to Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of Senior Lender) for application in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3.
