11.           Until such time as the First Lien Debt has been Discharged, Subordinated Creditor shall at any time in connection with any Permitted Collateral Sale in connection with which the First Lien Agent releases or otherwise terminates its Liens on the Collateral (and/or, in the case of a Permitted Collateral Sale consisting of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of any Guarantor, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the relevant First Lien Documents) subject to such sale (but not its Lien in the proceeds of such sale):  (a) upon the request of the First Lien Agent with respect to the Collateral subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale (which request will specify the principal proposed terms of the sale and the type and amount of consideration expected to be received in connection therewith), release or otherwise terminate its liens on such Collateral (it being understood that Subordinated Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security interest with respect to the proceeds of such Collateral) (and/or, in the case of a Permitted Collateral Sale consisting of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of any Guarantor, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the relevant Subordinated Debt Documents); (b) promptly, at the expense of the Second Lien Borrower and other Obligors, deliver such terminations of financing statements, partial lien releases, mortgage satisfactions and discharges, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer, termination or release (collectively, “Release Documents”) and take such further actions as the First Lien Agent shall reasonably require in order to release and/or terminate Subordinated Creditor’s Liens on the Collateral (or release such Guarantor) subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale; provided that if the closing of the Disposition of the Collateral is not consummated within 15 business days from the proposed closing date or any agreement governing such Permitted Collateral Sale is terminated by any of the parties thereto, the First Lien Agent shall, upon Subordinated Creditor’s request, promptly return all Release Documents to Subordinated Creditor.  In connection with a Permitted Collateral Sale with respect to any Collateral, the First Lien Agent shall promptly apply the net cash proceeds received by it upon the closing of the Permitted Collateral Sale to the repayment of the First Lien Debt as provided in the First Lien Documents.  Subordinated Creditor shall have no obligation to deliver any such release or authorization documents (A) to the First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Borrower or any other Obligor at any time or (B) to any party more than 5 business days prior to the proposed date of the closing of the sale or disposition of such Collateral.
 
11

 
12.          Subordinated Creditor shall, at any time in connection with a Release Event with respect to any Collateral:  (a) upon the request of the First Lien Agent with respect to the Collateral subject to such Release Event (which request will specify the principal proposed terms of the sale and the type and amount of consideration expected to be received in connection therewith), release or otherwise terminate its liens on such Collateral (and/or, in the case of a Disposition consisting of the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests or assets of any Guarantor, release such Guarantor from its obligations under the relevant Documents), to the extent the Disposition of such Collateral is either by (i) the First Lien Agent or its agents or representatives or (ii) any Obligor with the consent of the First Lien Creditors, (b) shall grant such consents under the Subordinated Debt Documents as the First Lien Agent reasonably deems necessary to effect such Disposition free and clear of Subordinated Creditor’s Liens (it being understood that Subordinated Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security interest with respect to the proceeds of such Collateral), and (c) deliver such Release Documents and take such further actions as First Lien Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith; provided that, (i) such release by Subordinated Creditor shall not extend to or otherwise affect any of the rights of Subordinated Creditor to the proceeds from any such Disposition of Collateral, (ii) the First Lien Agent shall promptly apply such proceeds to permanently pay the First Lien Debt in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents until the same have been Discharged, (iii) after such application, any excess proceeds from such Disposition shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 and (iv) no such release and/or authorization documents shall be delivered (A) to any Obligor or (B) more than 2 Business Days prior to the date of the closing of the Disposition of such Collateral; provided further that if the closing of the Disposition of the Collateral subject to such Release Event is not consummated within 15 business days of the proposed date of closing or any agreement governing such Disposition is terminated, the First Lien Agent shall promptly, upon Subordinated Creditor’s request, return all Release Documents to Subordinated Creditor.  Subordinated Creditor waives any benefits of California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433.
 
13.           [Intentionally Omitted]
 
12

 
14.           In any Insolvency Proceeding, if the First Lien Creditors (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of Senior Adequate Protection Liens, Subordinated Creditor may seek (and the First Lien Creditors may not oppose) adequate protection of their interests in any portion of the Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt in the form of a replacement lien on the additional collateral subject to the Senior Adequate Protection Liens, if granted, will be subordinate to all Liens securing the First Lien Debt (including, without limitation, the Senior Adequate Protection liens and any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors) and any Liens securing debtor-in-possession financing on the same basis as the other liens securing the Subordinated Debt are so subordinated under this Agreement; provided that, Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably agrees, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, that any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection may provide that any junior superpriority claims held by it may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such junior superpriority claims. Except as expressly set forth above, Subordinated Creditor may not seek and waive the right to request or receive post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in any Proceeding, and the First Lien Creditors may oppose any payments proposed to be made by any Obligor to Subordinated Creditor.
 
13

 
15.           Subordinated Creditor hereby consents to any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (each, a “Disposition”) of any Collateral securing the First Lien Debt (or any portion thereof) and the Subordinated Debt free and clear of Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the First Lien Creditors have consented to the Disposition of such assets, as long as all proceeds of such Disposition received by the First Lien Creditors on account of the First Lien Debt will be applied to the First Lien Debt to permanently reduce the principal portion of the First Lien Debt in accordance with this Agreement; provided that Subordinated Creditor may raise any objections to any such Disposition of such Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt that could be raised by any creditor of the Obligors whose claims were not secured by any liens on such collateral, provided such objections are not inconsistent with any other term or provision of this Agreement and are not based on the status of Subordinated Creditor as a secured creditors (without limiting the foregoing, Subordinated Creditor will not be permitted to raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or by any comparable provision of any bankruptcy or insolvency law)) with respect to the Liens granted to Subordinated Creditor; provided, further, that Subordinated Creditor shall retain its rights to bid on the Collateral (including by way of credit bidding under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) so long as such bid contains a cash component sufficient to Discharge the First Lien Debt in its entirety.  Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the First Lien Creditors’ election in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees not to initiate or prosecute or join with any other Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding (i) challenging the enforceability of the First Lien Creditors’ claims as fully secured claims with respect to all or part of the First Lien Debt or for allowance of any First Lien Debt (including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses) or opposing any action by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Creditors to enforce their rights or remedies arising under the First Lien Documents in a manner which is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, (ii) challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any liens on assets securing the First Lien Debt under the First Lien Documents, (iii) asserting any claims which any of the Obligors may hold with respect to the First Lien Creditors, (iv) seeking to lift the automatic stay to the extent that such action is opposed by the First Lien Agent or (v) opposing a motion by the First Lien Agent to lift the automatic stay.  The First Lien Creditors agree not to initiate or prosecute or join with any Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other Proceeding (i) challenging the enforceability, validity, priority or perfected status of any liens on assets securing the Subordinated Debt under the Subordinated Debt Documents, (ii) challenging the enforceability of the Subordinated Creditor’s claims as fully secured claims with respect to all or part of the Subordinated Debt or for allowance of any Subordinated Debt (including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses) or opposing any action by the Subordinated Creditor to enforce its rights or remedies arising under the Subordinated Debt Documents in a manner which is not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or (iii) asserting any claims which any of the Obligors may hold with respect to the Subordinated Creditor.  Furthermore, Subordinated Creditor agrees that it shall not at any time, whether before, during or after the commencement of any Proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding) and until the First Lien Termination Date, (x) grant any waivers under, or fail to enforce the terms of or exercise any rights available to it under or pursuant to, any subordination agreement, priority deed, or similar document or instrument that applies to any indebtedness, obligations, undertakings, guaranties or liens that are thereby or otherwise subordinated to the Subordinated Debt and/or any liens on Collateral (“Other Subordinated Debt”), (y) cooperate with or otherwise permit or forbear from exercising any rights and remedies with respect to any attempt by any beneficial or legal holder of any Other Subordinated Debt, in violation of any applicable so called “standstill” provisions of such agreement or priority deed, to accelerate, make demand, attempt to collect, take legal or equitable action with respect to, or seek a judgment against or any other legal or equitable relief with respect to any Obligor and/or to foreclose or otherwise realize upon and/or take possession or control of, or obtain any legal or equitable relief with respect to, any portion of the Collateral.
 
16.           Subordinated Creditor shall promptly affix a legend to the instruments evidencing the Subordinated Debt stating that the instruments are subject to the terms of this Agreement.  By the execution of this Agreement, Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees to promptly (but not more than five (5) Business Days following the date first written above) amend any financing statements and functionally-similar lien perfection and/or creation documents filed or recorded by Subordinated Creditor against any Obligor as follows: “In accordance with a certain Subordination Agreement by and among the [Subordinated Creditor], the Debtor and the [First Lien Agent], the [Subordinated Creditor] has subordinated any security interest or lien that [Subordinated Creditor] may have in any property of the Debtor to the security interest of [the First Lien Agent] on behalf of itself and other creditors in all assets of the Debtor, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment or perfection of the security interest of the Secured Creditor and [the First Lien Agent]”.
 
14

 
17.           No amendment of the Subordinated Debt Documents shall directly or indirectly modify the provisions of this Agreement in any manner which might terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt or the subordination of the Liens that Subordinated Creditor may have in any property of any Obligor.
 
18.           In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving one or more of the Obligors, these provisions shall apply: (a) the Subordinated Creditor shall not seek in any Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Creditors and shall not oppose any pleading or motion by the First Lien Agent and/or the First Lien Creditors for the First Lien Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor to be treated as separate classes of creditors; (b) the First Lien Creditors shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the First Lien Debt (including post-petition interest, including any applicable default rate interest, whether or not permitted in such Proceeding) from the proceeds of the Collateral before Subordinated Creditor is entitled to receive from the proceeds of the Collateral any payment on account of the principal of or interest on or any other amount owing in respect of the Subordinated Debt; (c) any payment, dividend or distribution of assets of the Obligor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities to which Subordinated Creditor would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement, shall be paid by the Person making the payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a debtor-in-possession, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the First Lien Agent, to the extent necessary to make indefeasible payment in full in cash of the remaining unpaid First Lien Debt and Subordinated Creditor shall then be entitled to receive from the proceeds of the Collateral payment in full in cash of the Subordinated Debt (including post-petition interest, including any applicable default rate interest, whether or not permitted in such Proceeding); (d) in any Proceeding, the First Lien Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Subordinated Creditor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment, dividend or distribution referred to in clauses (a) through (c) above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take other action (including, without limitation, voting the Subordinated Debt or enforcing any lien securing Subordinate Debt) as the First Lien Agent may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights, remedies or interests of the First Lien Agent under this Agreement to the extent that Subordinated Creditor, after written notice from First Lien Agent, has not theretofore done so and any applicable claims bar date or statute of limitations is due to occur in less than thirty (30) days; (e) in any Insolvency Proceeding, Subordinated Creditor shall promptly take any action as the First Lien Agent may reasonably request: (i) to collect the Subordinated Debt for the account of the First Lien Agent and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt; (ii) to execute or authenticate and deliver to the First Lien Agent powers of attorney, assignments, instruments, or other documentation as the First Lien Agent may request in order to enable the First Lien Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subordinated Debt and any lien securing Subordinate Debt; and (iii) to collect and receive any and all payments, dividends or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Debt; and (f) in any Insolvency Proceeding, Subordinated Creditor shall not have any right to setoff against the Subordinated Debt any indebtedness, claim or other obligation of any nature owed by Subordinated Creditor to the Obligor (including, without limitation, any right of setoff under Section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), and Subordinated Creditor irrevocably agrees, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, that Subordinated Creditor waives and will not exercise any right of setoff. If the foregoing waivers are adjudicated unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then Subordinated Creditor agrees that, in the event that Subordinated Creditor exercises any right of setoff in any Proceeding or at any other time, Subordinated Creditor will pay directly to the First Lien Agent, an amount equal to the amount of Subordinated Debt that was so set off, for application to First Lien Debt until all First Lien Debt has been Discharged.
 
15

 
19.          To the extent that the First Lien Creditors receive payments on the First Lien Debt or proceeds of Collateral for application to the First Lien Debt which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Bankruptcy Law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise (and whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise) (each a “First Lien Avoidance”), then to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, such Obligations, or part thereof, intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such payments or proceeds had not been received by the First Lien Creditors, and this Agreement, if theretofore terminated, shall be reinstated in full force and effect as of the date of such First Lien Avoidance, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Creditors and the Subordinated Creditor provided for herein with respect to any event occurring on or after the date of such First Lien Avoidance.  The Subordinated Creditor agrees that it shall not be entitled to benefit from any First Lien Avoidance, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such First Lien Avoidance otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
 
20.           Subject to Section 19 hereof, this Agreement shall terminate upon the First Lien Termination Date.
 
21.          All rights and interests of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Creditors under this Agreement, and all agreements and obligations of Subordinated Creditor and Obligor under this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: (a) any lack of collectability, validity or enforceability of all or any portion of this Agreement, the First Lien Debt or any of First Lien Documents due to incapacity, lack of power or authority, discharge or for any reason whatsoever; (b) subject to Section 8, any change in the amount of interest accruing on, time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms or conditions of, all or any of First Lien Debt, or any other amendment or waiver of, any consent to departure from any of First Lien Documents, including, without limitation, changes in the terms of disbursement or repayment of any loan proceeds, any modifications, increases, extensions, renewals, rearrangements, restatements, acceleration, settlement or compromise of First Lien Debt or the advancement of additional funds by the First Lien Agent in its discretion; (c) the timing, manner and order of application of any payments and credits made by the First Lien Agent on First Lien Debt; (d) the First Lien Agent’s or the First Lien Creditors’ forbearance or agreement to forbear from enforcing any right or remedy related to First Lien Debt, including rights and remedies against any Obligor; (e) any exchange of Collateral, release or non-perfection of any lien, subordination of any lien, or any release of any Obligor on the First Lien Debt or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from or indulgence with respect to, any the First Lien Document, for all or any of First Lien Debt; (f) any future law, regulation, or order of any governmental authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to affect any term of First Lien Debt or First Lien Documents; (g) any setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) or any other circumstance in respect of this Agreement, First Lien Debt or any the First Lien Document that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, First Lien Debt, the First Lien Borrower, any other Obligor on any First Lien Debt or Subordinated Creditor; or (h) any action taken or refrained from being taken by the First Lien Agent regarding First Lien Debt that the First Lien Agent deems appropriate.
 
16

 
22.          Each party hereto hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as the First Lien Agent or Subordinated Creditor may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter, as and when requested by the First Lien Agent or Subordinated Creditor.
 
23.          Subordinated Creditor represents and warrants to the First Lien Agent as follows: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each of the Subordinated Debt Documents now outstanding (true and complete copies of which have been furnished to the First Lien Agent) have been duly authorized by all necessary action; are within the power and authority of Subordinated Creditor and do not and will not (i) contravene the partnership agreement or other organic documents, if any, establishing or governing Subordinated Creditor, any applicable law or governmental regulation or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting Subordinated Creditor or any of its properties or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of Subordinated Creditor’s properties; (b) this Agreement and each of the Subordinated Debt Documents are legal, valid and binding obligations of Subordinated Creditor, enforceable against the Second Lien Borrower and the other Obligors party thereto, to the best of Subordinated Creditor’s knowledge, and Subordinated Creditor in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equitable principles; (c) Subordinated Creditor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation and in good standing in the jurisdictions in which it is doing business, except, in each instance, with respect to such failures that would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact Subordinated Creditor’s rights under the Subordinated Debt Documents and Subordinated Creditor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (d) Subordinated Creditor is the sole holder of the Subordinated Debt, free and clear of any Liens, with full power to make the subordinations set forth in this Agreement; and (e) Subordinated Creditor has not made or permitted any assignment or transfer, as security or otherwise, of the Subordinated Debt, any Subordinated Debt Documents or of any of the Collateral securing the Subordinated Debt prior to the date hereof.  The First Lien Agent represents and warrants to Subordinated Creditor as follows: (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the First Lien Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action; are within the power and authority of the First Lien Agent and do not and will not (i) contravene the partnership agreement or other organic documents, if any, establishing or governing the First Lien Agent, any applicable law or governmental regulation or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the First Lien Agent or any of its properties, or (ii) result in or require the creation of any lien upon or with respect to any of the First Lien Agent’s properties; (b) this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the First Lien Agent, enforceable against the First Lien Agent in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors' rights and by general equitable principles, (c) First Lien Agent is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation and in good standing in the jurisdictions in which it is doing business, except, in each instance, with respect to such failures that would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact First Lien Agent’s rights under the First Lien Documents and First Lien Agent’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (d) First Lien Creditors’ are the sole holders of the First Lien Debt, free and clear of any Liens, with full power to make the agreements set forth in this Agreement.

18

 
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SUBORDINATED CREDITOR AND THE FIRST LIEN AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.  EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
 
WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that the foregoing jury trial waiver shall be severed from this Agreement and that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Los Angeles County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court.  The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 638 through 645.1, inclusive.  The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers.  All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed.  If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court for such relief.  The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings.  The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings.  The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and order applicable to judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge.  The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure § 644(a).  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies.  The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.
 
26.          The Subordinated Creditor hereby agrees that until the First Lien Termination Date has occurred it will not assert any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder; provided that as between the Obligors, on the one hand, and the Subordinated Creditor, on the other hand, any such payment that is paid over to the First Lien Agent and/or the First Lien Creditors pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed not to reduce any of the Subordinated Debt.
 
19

 
27.          Each of First Lien Agent and Subordinated Creditor may demand specific performance of this Agreement and, on behalf of itself and the respective other Secured Creditors, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the respective Secured Creditors.
 
28.          This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments.  Except as provided in Section 23, Subordinated Creditor is not relying on any representations by the First Lien Agent in entering into this Agreement, and Subordinated Creditor has kept and will continue to keep itself fully apprised of the financial and other condition of each Obligor.  This Agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by Subordinated Creditor and the First Lien Agent.
 
29.          Each Obligor party hereto hereby, jointly and severally, agrees to pay, upon demand, to the First Lien Agent and/or Subordinated Creditor, as the case may be, the amount of any and all fees, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, both before and after judgment, that the First Lien Agent or Subordinated Creditor may incur under or in enforcement of this Agreement.
