Collateral); and
(b) Except as specifically described in this Agreement,
no other Party shall have an Encumbrance in the WLD Collateral (other
than the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral) and Borrowers

other person or entity.
8. Acceleration of Debt and Enforcement of Post-Default Rights
Against Collateral.
(a) NCFC Collateral. Subject to the specific terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement and following an event of
default described in NCFC's Loan Documents that is not cured in a
timely manner, NCFC may, at its option, take any action to accelerate
the payment of the NCFC Debt, collect the NCFC Debt, and enforce any
of its post-default rights with respect to the NCFC Collateral without
the consent of any other Party; provided, however, that NCFC shall
provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with simultaneous written notice of any election to
exercise such post-default actions.
(b) The ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral.

its post-default rights with respect to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral or the
Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Collateral without the consent of any other Party;
provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall provide NCFC with simultaneous
written notice of any election to exercise such post-default actions.
9. Acknowledgment, No Contest and Cooperation. Each Secured
Party hereby acknowledges and consents to the Encumbrances granted to any other
Secured Party that are described in this Agreement. None of the Secured
Parties shall contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of
any Encumbrance granted to any other Secured Party as set forth herein nor
interfere with the exercise of another Secured Party's rights and remedies
against such other Secured Party's senior Collateral. Each Secured Party
hereby agrees to cooperate in the defense of any action contesting the
validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of such Encumbrances
consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.
No Secured Party shall take any action to foreclose, realize upon or
to enforce any of its rights with respect to any Collateral that is subject to
a senior Encumbrance belonging to another Secured Party; provided, however,
that nothing contained herein shall prevent any junior Secured Party from
accelerating its Debt and receiving and applying any proceeds from the
liquidation of such Collateral upon the complete and irrevocable satisfaction
of the senior Encumbrances upon such Collateral. To the extent that
13
14
any Secured Party obtains possession of any Collateral that is subject to a
senior Encumbrance belonging to another Secured Party, the Secured Party having
possession shall notify the other Secured Party of such fact and, at the
expense and upon the request of the Secured Party that has the senior
Encumbrance in such Collateral, shall deliver such Collateral to such senior
Secured Party. In addition, following the occurrence of any event of default
under the NCFC Loan Documents that is not cured in a timely manner, NCFC shall
be entitled to enter upon any Borrowers' premises and repossess, remove and/or
dispose of such Collateral so long as NCFC provides the person or entity in
possession of such premises with at least five (5) days prior written notice
thereof.
10. No Amendments or Modifications of the Portfield Loan
Documents, Second Portfield Loan Documents, WLD Documents, or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Documents.
Without limiting any of the terms and conditions set forth in the NCFC Loan
Documents, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Loan Documents, or Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Loan Documents, Borrowers
and WLD shall not take any of the following actions without obtaining the prior
written consent of NCFC and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ which may be withheld by NCFC's and ▇▇▇▇▇▇
in their sole discretion: (a) any Borrower obtaining any additional loans or
other financial accommodations from WLD or ▇▇▇▇▇▇; (b) any Borrower providing
any additional guaranties or collateral to WLD or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or for the benefit of
WLD or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (except as specifically described in this Agreement); (c) any
Borrower prepaying the Portfield Debt, Second Portfield Debt, WLD Debt or
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt (except as specifically described in this Agreement); or (d) any
Borrower or WLD amending, modifying, replacing, substituting or supplementing
the Portfield Loan Documents, Second Portfield Loan Documents, WLD Documents or
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Documents in any way which (i) increases the amount of any loans or
other obligations described therein, (ii) accelerates or increases any payments
due thereunder, (iii) increases any interest rate described therein, (iv)
shortens the maturity date thereof, or (v) increases, replaces or substitutes
any guaranties or collateral therefor except as specifically described in this
Agreement.
11. Proceedings. In the event of any Proceeding involving any
Borrower: (a) all NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt first shall be
paid in full in cash before any payment of or with respect to the WLD Debt
shall be made; (b) any payment or distribution, whether in cash, property or
securities which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or
deliverable in respect of the WLD Debt, shall be paid or delivered directly to
NCFC and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ on a pari passu basis until all NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and
Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt is paid in full in cash, and WLD irrevocably authorizes,
empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians,
conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such
payments and distributions, and WLD also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and
directs the holders of the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt to
demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect and receive every such payment or
14
15
distribution; (c) WLD agrees to execute and deliver to the holders of the NCFC
Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or their representatives all such
further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing
clause (b), (d) WLD agrees not to initiate or prosecute or encourage any other
person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other proceeding
challenging the enforceability of the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Debt or any Encumbrance securing the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Debt, and (e) WLD agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of
claim in respect of the WLD Debt requested by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and NCFC in connection
with any such Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and
appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇, NCFC and their agents and attorneys-in-fact to (i) execute,
verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of WLD promptly
to do so (and, in any event, prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of
the time to file any such proof), and (ii) vote or refrain from voting such
claim in any such Proceeding; provided ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and NCFC shall have no obligation
to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim and, if
▇▇▇▇▇▇ and NCFC cannot agree on the vote to be cast based upon such claim, no
vote shall be cast thereon. In the event that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or NCFC votes or refrains
from voting any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, WLD
shall not be entitled to vote, change or withdraw such vote. The NCFC Debt,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt shall continue to be treated pari passu as
set forth in this section and the provisions of this section shall continue to
govern the relative rights and priorities of the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt, Second
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt and WLD Debt even if all or part of the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or
Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or the Encumbrances securing the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or
Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in
connection with any such Proceeding and this section shall be reinstated if at
any time any payment of any of the NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holders of NCFC Debt, ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Debt or Second ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Debt or any representative of such holder.
12. Continued Effectiveness of this Agreement. The terms of this
Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights and the
obligations of the Secured Parties arising hereunder, shall not be affected,
modified or impaired in any manner or to any extent by: (a) any amendment or
modification of or supplement to any of the Documents; (b) the validity or
enforceability of any of the Documents; or (c) any exercise or non-exercise of
any right, power or remedy under or in respect of any Debt or any of the
Documents. The Secured Parties hereby acknowledge that the provisions of this
Agreement are intended to be enforceable at all times, whether before the

right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power, and no such failure,
delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of the rights of any Secured
Party hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or
performance among the parties hereto.
