The Subordinated Mortgagee will ensure that the terms of any loss payable clause endorsed on any insurance or reinsurance policy or entry pursuant to the Subordinated Finance Documents and any letter of undertaking issued by any broker, insurer, reinsurer or mutual insurance association issued in accordance with their provisions reflect and acknowledge the senior priority of the Senior Security Documents and are not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Senior Security Documents concerning payments of insurance and/or reinsurance claims to the Senior Mortgagee.

Where:

(a) something requires the consent or approval of the Subordinated Mortgagee under the Subordinated Finance Documents; and

(b) the same thing requires the consent or approval of the Senior Mortgagee and/or any other Senior Finance Party under the Senior Finance Documents,

3.16 Subordination

The Subordinated Mortgagee agrees and undertakes with the Senior Mortgagee that save for the Permitted Payments:
