2. Consent; No Default.
 
Signature hereby consents to the execution, delivery and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, performance by the Company of the Subordinated Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, all notwithstanding any term, covenant or condition of the Senior Loan Documents to the contrary. The Subordinated Lender hereby consents to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Senior Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, all notwithstanding any term, covenant or condition of the Subordinated Transaction Documents to the contrary. The Subordinated Lender represents and warrants to Signature that, to Subordinated Lender's knowledge, as of the date hereof, there does not exist any default or event of default under any of the Subordinated Transaction Documents or the Subordinated Debt. Signature represents and warrants to the Subordinated Lender that, to Signature’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, there does not exist any “Default” or “Event of Default” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement) under any of the other Senior Loan Documents or the Senior Debt.
 
3. Priorities Relating to the Common Collateral.
 
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Senior Loan Documents, the Subordinated Transaction Documents or in any other instrument or document executed and delivered in connection with any of them or otherwise, and notwithstanding any prior recordation of any mortgage or other instrument creating, evidencing or relating to the liens, or the order or time of attachment of any lien, or any prior perfection of a security interest or lien under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, or any other law of any jurisdiction that is applicable, or the existence of any present or future filing of financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of any jurisdiction that is applicable or in which such filing has been made, or any other recordation or filing of any document, as between Signature and the Subordinated Lender (including, without limitation, any of their respective successors or assigns), the Senior Security Interests are and shall rank first and prior to the Subordinated Security Interests and the Subordinated Security Interests are and shall be junior and subordinate to the Senior Security Interests.
 
(b) Subject to the other provisions of this subparagraph 3(b), if either Signature or the Subordinated Lender shall, at any time, have possession or control of any of the Common Collateral, it shall hold or control such Common Collateral for the benefit of it and the other, as their respective interests may herein appear. So long as any of the Senior Debt shall remain unpaid to Signature, Signature may at all times, in its commercially reasonable discretion, exercise any and all powers and rights, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Common Collateral, that Signature now has or hereafter may acquire with respect to any of the Common Collateral, whether or not in its possession, all without the necessity of obtaining any consent or approval of the Subordinated Lender and without any accountability to the Subordinated Lender, nor shall it have any liability to the Subordinated Lender for any action taken or failure to act with respect to any of such Common Collateral in its possession beyond the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody thereof. Upon the irrevocable payment in full of the Senior Debt, Signature shall assign and deliver to the Subordinated Lender all of the Common Collateral then in Signature’s possession, but without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, and the Company hereby consents to such assignment and delivery. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any payment made by the Company (or any of the Persons comprising part of the same) on account of any Senior Debt is rescinded, recovered from or repaid by Signature, in whole or in part, in or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding instituted by or against the Company (or any Person comprising part of the same), the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, as well as the provisions of Section 8(b) hereof, shall not apply to such payments, and the provisions of this Agreement other than those contained in such immediately preceding sentence or such Section 8(b) shall govern/control to the same extent as though the payments that were recovered or repaid had never originally been made on account of any such Senior Debt (but only to the extent so recovered or paid); and the Subordinated Lender and the Company shall take any such actions as are reasonably required by Signature in order to effectuate the intention of the provisions of this sentence.
 
17

 
(c) With respect to the collection of the proceeds of any policy of insurance covering Common Collateral, the proceeds of which are assigned to Signature or the Subordinated Lender pursuant to any security agreement executed and delivered by the Company with Signature or the Subordinated Lender, Signature and the Subordinated Lender shall join in any instructions to the insurance companies involved so that the proceeds will be delivered to the parties entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(d) The Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Signature or any of its agents, nominees or designees, at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and so long as the Senior Debt has not been fully, irrevocably paid and satisfied:
 
(i)  to collect and receive the proceeds of the Subordinated Debt and to enforce, foreclose and
 
(ii) to realize upon, release and satisfy the Subordinated Security Interests, and to do any and all things relating thereto with the same power and authority that the Subordinated Lender might or could have done if this Agreement had not been executed, including the filing and proving of claims in the name of Signature or in the name of the Subordinated Lender, in connection with any receivership, bankruptcy or proceedings, under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. In connection therewith, so long as the Senior Debt has not been fully, irrevocably paid and satisfied, the Subordinated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Signature, its successors and assigns, its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority for it and in its name to take any of the foregoing actions, and to make, execute and acknowledge, publish, file, record and swear to the execution, acknowledgment, filing and/or recordation, as applicable, of any and all documents, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements relating to the Subordinated Security Interests, all as Signature, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem necessary, appropriate and/or advisable with respect to the enforcement and administration of the Senior Debt and the furtherance of the collection thereof. To the extent consistent with this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender hereby ratifies and confirms any and all acts or omissions that Signature may take or fail to take with respect to the administration and/or enforcement of the Subordinated Security Interests, and hereby remises, releases and forever discharges Signature from any and all claims in connection therewith, except those claims that arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Signature. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The foregoing rights of Signature shall include the right to release or terminate any or all of the Subordinated Security Interests, given in connection with a sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Common Collateral to which Signature has consented (including, without limitation, executing and filing release termination instruments in the name of Subordinated Lender releasing and/or terminating that portion of the Subordinated Security Interests relating to any such sale or other disposition). Without in any way limiting or modifying any of the foregoing rights of Signature, the Subordinated Lender shall at the request of Signature, in connection with such sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Common Collateral to which Signature has consented upon ten (10) days prior notice, execute and deliver to Signature (or authorize Signature to execute on its behalf) release or termination instruments, satisfactory in form and substance to Signature, releasing and terminating that portion of the Subordinated Security Interests relating to such sale or other disposition, which Signature shall file, record or otherwise cause to become effective, in the exercise of any of its rights under this subparagraph 3(d). The net amount received by Signature as a result of its exercise of any of its rights under this subparagraph 3(d) as proceeds of the payment or collection of the Subordinated Debt shall be applied to the Senior Debt then, or thereafter to become, due and the excess, if any shall be remitted to the Subordinated Lender.
 
18

 
(e) Subordinated Lender agrees that, it will not contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Security Interests and Signature agrees that it will not contest the validity, perfection, priority (after giving effect to the provisions of this Agreement) or enforceability of the Subordinated Security Interests.
 
4. Subordination of Subordinated Debt
 
(a) The payment of any and all of the Subordinated Debt is hereby expressly subordinated to the prior payment of the Senior Debt to the extent and in the manner set forth herein.
 
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in subparagraph (c) below, in the event of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or other similar proceeding relative to the Company or any of its creditors, as such, or its properties, or (ii) any proceeding for the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings, then and in any such event:
 
(A) all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, obligations or other property, shall be made in respect of the Subordinated Debt;
 
(B) any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities, obligations or other property, which would otherwise (but for the terms hereof) be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Debt (including any payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Debt by reason of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the Subordinated Debt), shall be paid or delivered directly to Signature, or its representative, until all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, and the Subordinated Lender, or any other holder of the Subordinated Debt, irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries;
 
19

 
(C) the Subordinated Lender may file one or more proofs of claim in such proceeding with respect to the Subordinated Debt; provided, that the Subordinated Lender shall not be entitled to receive payment of its claims prior to payment in full of the Senior Debt, and, in the event of any distribution to the Subordinated Lender with respect to the Subordinated Debt at a time when any Senior Debt remains unpaid, the Subordinated Lender shall pay over such distribution to Signature to be applied by Signature in reduction of the Senior Debt;
 
(D) the Subordinated Lender may appear and be heard on any matter relating to its claim in any such proceeding, but shall not seek to assert rights contrary to the provisions of this Agreement. The Subordinated Lender irrevocably agrees that Signature may vote the claim of the Subordinated Debt in any such proceeding in connection with any matter requiring the vote of creditors in any manner which it desires, and that if, contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, it shall be determined that the Subordinated Lender may vote its own claim, it shall not vote in favor of any plan that would cause the Subordinated Lender to receive any payment prior to the payment in full and in cash of the Senior Debt; and
 
(E) If the Subordinated Lender fails to file a proof of claim within thirty days prior to the expiration of the time period within which creditors must file their proofs of claim or take any other action advisable to preserve its claim against the Company within thirty days prior to the relevant bar date or other time limit, Signature may file such claim or take such action as the Subordinated Lender's attorney-in-fact.
 
(c) Until the Senior Debt shall have been irrevocably paid in full, the Company shall not make and the Subordinated Lender shall not receive, accept or retain any direct or indirect payment or reduction (whether by way of loan, set-off or otherwise) in respect of: all or any portion of the principal of, or any other amount payable under or in respect of, the Subordinated Debt whether such principal or other amount of the Subordinated Debt shall have become payable on the maturity of the installment or installments thereof provided for in the Subordinated Note, by acceleration, by the exercise of any rights of the Subordinated Lender or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) the Company may make and the Subordinated Lender may receive, accept and retain regularly scheduled payments of (1) principal, provided that the first such scheduled payment of principal may not occur or be made at any time prior to March 31, 2010 and may not be in an amount in excess of $2,500,000 (notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any other Agreement to the contrary), and (2) interest (each such scheduled principal or interest payment date, a “Subordinated Debt Payment Date” and such scheduled payments, collectively, the “Scheduled Payments”), if on or prior to any such Subordinated Debt Payment Date, and if after giving effect to the payment of such amount, an Event of Default, as defined or specified in the Credit Agreement (hereinafter referred to as an “Event of Default”), shall not have occurred and be continuing or will not occur and be continuing; and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all interest or other payments on Subordinated Debt that are payable in kind or any default amounts under the Subordinated Debt that the Subordinated Lender elects to be payable in kind may be received, accepted and retained by the Subordinated Lender without restriction.
 
20

 
(d) In the event that a payment of principal, interest or any other amount on, under or in respect of any Subordinated Debt is not prohibited under this Agreement at the time it is due, such payment may be made by the Company, and accepted, received and retained by the Subordinated Lender, but only upon, subject and pursuant to the terms and provisions, including, without limitation, the dates, amounts and rate of principal and interest payments, as are set forth in the Subordinated Transaction Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement (or as the same may be amended pursuant to the terms hereunder).
 
(e) If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any payment or distribution of any character (whether in cash, securities, or other property) or any security shall be received by the Subordinated Lender in contravention of the terms of this Agreement or as a result of an Enforcement Action, and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, such payment, distribution or security shall not be commingled with any asset of the Subordinated Lender, shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall, within five Business Days of the Subordinated Lender’s receipt thereof, be paid over or delivered or transferred to, Signature, or its representative, for application to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full.
 
(f) The Subordinated Lender shall, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, cause a conspicuous legend to be placed on the Subordinated Note to the following effect:
 
THIS NOTE AND THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED HEREBY IS SUBORDINATED IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 31, 2008, BY AND AMONG THE CENTER FOR WOUND HEALING, INC., A NEVADA CORPORATION, SIGNATURE BANK, BISON CAPITAL EQUITY PARTNERS II-A, L.P., A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, AND  BISON CAPITAL EQUITY PARTNERS II-B, L.P., A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, AND EACH HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, SHALL BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH AGREEMENT.
 
(g) This Agreement, without further reference shall pass to and may be relied on and enforced by any transferee or subsequent holder of the Senior Debt. In the event of any proposed sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, the Subordinated Lender shall, prior to the consummation of any such action, cause the transferee thereof to execute and deliver to Signature an agreement (substantially identical with this Agreement) providing for the continued subordination of such Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Signature arising under this Agreement.
 
5. Restrictions on the Subordinated Lender.
 
Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Debt and notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordinated Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Subordinated Lender shall not, without the prior written consent of Signature, do any of the following:
 
21

 
(a) Except as otherwise permitted herein, amend, modify or supplement, or agree to any amendment, modification or supplement of, or otherwise change the terms of the Subordinated Note or any other Subordinated Transaction Documents in any manner, nor shall the Company make any payment consistent with an amendment thereof or change thereto, if the effect of any such amendment or change is to increase the interest rate on, or any other amounts comprising all or a portion of, the Subordinated Debt (provided that Subordinated Lender may charge any default rates, incur and charge any costs and expenses, and capitalize any interest and expenses to the extent provided for under the Subordinated Transaction Documents, and such actions shall not constitute a breach of this clause (a)), change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal, interest or any other amounts payable thereunder are due thereon, change any event of default or condition to an event of default with respect thereto (other than to eliminate any such event of default or increase any grace period related thereto), change any redemption, prepayment or defeasance provisions thereof (other than to eliminate such provisions) or change the subordination of any guaranty thereof, or if the effect of such amendment or change, together with all other amendments of changes made, is to increase materially the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional rights on the Subordinated Lender (or a trustee or other representative on its behalf) which would be adverse to the rights of Signature hereunder, and any such amendment or modification will be unenforceable; provided, however, that any changes to the Warrant (as described in the Subordinated Transaction Documents) that do not require cash payment by the Company shall be permitted by Signature. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event that the Senior Loan Documents are amended or otherwise modified to provide for additional covenants or events of default or to make more restrictive any existing covenants or events of default applicable to the Company, then the Company shall, if requested by the Subordinated Lender, execute a modification or amendment of the Subordinated Transaction Documents to provide for such additional covenants or events of default or such more restrictive covenants or events of default, as the case may be, so long as, in each such case, any applicable cushion is maintained (determined on a percentage basis based on the relevant levels under the Senior Loan Documents and the Subordinated Transaction Documents on the date hereof); or
 
(b) Accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, or take any action towards collection of any of the Subordinated Debt or enforcement of any rights, powers or remedies under the Subordinated Transaction Documents or other agreements entered into pursuant thereto, or applicable law, or against any of the Common Collateral (any such acceleration or action is hereinafter referred to as an “Enforcement Action”), upon the occurrence of any default or event of default under any of the Subordinated Transaction Documents (hereinafter referred to as a “Subordinated Debt Default”) or any event which, with the passage of time, or giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Subordinated Debt Default or on any other basis or for any reason; provided, however, that:
 
(i) the Subordinated Lender may, subject to the provisions of this Subordination Agreement, take an Enforcement Action at any time after (A) Signature has accelerated the maturity of the Senior Debt or (B) a bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar event relating to the Company has occurred (and has not been stayed); and
 
22

 
(ii) in the event that a Subordinated Debt Default relating to the failure by the Company to make a regularly scheduled payment when due on the Subordinated Debt or any event of default under the Subordinated Transaction Documents entitling the Subordinated Lender to accelerate the Subordinated Debt (each such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Major Subordinated Debt Default”), has occurred, and:
 
(A) the Subordinated Lender shall have given Signature written notice of the Major Subordinated Debt Default with a reasonably detailed description thereof;
 
(B) neither the Company nor Signature shall have cured such Major Subordinated Debt Default or caused it to be cured (and the Subordinated Lender shall permit Signature to cure any such Major Subordinated Debt Default, but Signature shall have no obligation to do so);
 
(C) Signature shall not have accelerated the maturity of the Senior Debt (if Signature shall have done so, clause (i) above, and not this clause (ii), shall be applicable);
 
(D) the Subordinated Lender shall not have, waived in writing such Major Subordinated Debt Default; and
 
(E) there shall have elapsed Ninety (90) days since the date of receipt by Signature of the notice from the Subordinated Lender of such Major Subordinated Debt Default given pursuant to clause (A) above (the “Standstill Period”), and such Major Subordinated Debt Default shall be continuing; provided, however, that there shall be no more than one Standstill Period in any consecutive 360 day period and no more than three Standstill Periods during the term of this Agreement;
 
then, following such Major Subordinated Debt Default, the Subordinated Lender may, subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the below provisions of this sentence), an Enforcement Action based on such Major Subordinated Debt Default referred to in the notice to Signature given under clause (A) above, and, simultaneously therewith, give Signature written notice of the taking of such Enforcement Action, if, but only if: (x) neither the Company nor Signature shall have cured such Major Subordinated Debt Default or caused it to be cured; and (y) such Major Subordinated Debt Default shall continue to exist until immediately prior to the taking of the Enforcement Action; and (z) the Subordinated Lender shall have given Signature not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the Enforcement Action. In the event that Signature shall accelerate the maturity of the Senior Debt at any time prior to the taking of an Enforcement Action by the Subordinated Lender which is permitted to be taken by the Subordinated Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, clause (i) above shall be applicable (i.e., clause (ii) shall be inapplicable). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Subordinated Lender shall not be permitted to take any Enforcement Action or any other action to the extent that the same does or will delay or interfere in any material respect with any Enforcement Action or any other action taken from time to time by Signature hereunder, provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Subordinated Lender will be permitted to take any such actions as may be necessary to protect its interests in respect of meeting filing dates within statutory time frames, perfecting its rights with respect to the Subordinated Debt, and taking any other like actions which do not or will not delay or interfere in any material respect with any Enforcement Action or any other action taken from time to time by Signature hereunder.
 
23

 
6. Right of the Subordinated Lender. In the event that Signature accelerates any amounts owed by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (an “Acceleration”), the Subordinated Lender shall have a right of first offer to purchase (the "Purchase Option") all, but not less than all, of the amounts owed (as such amounts may be reduced by payment by the Borrower or collection by Signature or otherwise) by the Borrower to Signature at the Purchase Price (as defined below). The Subordinated Lender may exercise the Purchase Option by (i) delivering to Signature, at any time during the pendency of such Acceleration, a written notice of the Subordinated Lender's election to do so and (ii) making payment of the applicable Purchase Price to Signature within thirty (30) days after the delivery of such notice; provided, however, that the Subordinated Lender's right to deliver such a written notice of its election to exercise the Purchase Option or to effect any such purchase shall automatically terminate upon the collection by Signature of all amounts owed to it by the Borrower in full, and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event will the provisions of this section alter, amend or affect in any way any of Signature’s rights under any of the other sections of this Agreement or under any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents. "Purchase Price" means a price equal to the sum (without duplication) of all principal, interest and other amounts due under the Loan Documents; provided, however; that the Purchase Price shall not include any prepayment premium or similar fees, but it shall include all reimbursement, indemnity or similar obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including, without limitation the consummation of any purchase by the Subordinated Lender pursuant to the provisions of this section), all rights of Signature under the Loan Documents which, pursuant to the provisions thereof, survive the termination of any such agreements or the payment of any of the obligations thereunder will survive any payment(s) by the Subordinated Lender to Signature of the Purchase Price and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or relating thereto.
 
7. Continued Effectiveness of this Agreement.
 
The terms of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights of Signature, and the obligations of the Subordinated Lender 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 the Credit Agreement, the Senior Note, any of the other Senior Loan Documents (provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt shall not exceed the Cap Amount), the Subordinated Note, any of the other Subordinated Transaction Documents or any instrument or document executed or delivered pursuant to any of such documents other than this Agreement; (b) the validity or enforceability of any of such documents; (c) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or remedy under or in respect of the Senior Debt or any of such instruments or documents referred to in clause (a) above or in respect of any of the properties or assets now or hereafter constituting the Common Collateral, whether or not the Subordinated Lender shall have had notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing and whether or not it shall have consented thereto. All references to “Signature” hereunder shall be deemed to refer to Signature Bank (or any agent on its behalf appointed by it) or any of its successors or assigns, or any other person or entity which hereafter may hold all or any portion of the Senior Debt including, without limitation, any person or entity that makes any loan, advance or other extension of credit to the Company the proceeds of which are used, directly or indirectly, to pay all or any portion of indebtedness that, at the time of such payment, constitutes Senior Debt hereunder, and any such successor, assign or other person or entity shall be entitled to have the benefit of and enforce this Agreement, as fully as if it were the signatory hereto in the place of “Signature”, without the necessity of the execution or delivery of any other instrument or document. All references to “Subordinated Lender” hereunder shall be deemed to refer to Bison Capital Equity Partners II-A, L.P., and Bison Capital Equity Partners II-B, L.P. (or any agent on its behalf appointed by it) or any of its successors or assigns, or any other person or entity which hereafter may hold all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, including, without limitation, any person or entity that makes any loan, advance or other extension of credit to the Company the proceeds of which are used, directly or indirectly, to pay all or any portion of indebtedness that, at the time of such payment, constitutes Subordinated Debt hereunder, and any such successor, assign or other person or entity shall be entitled to have the benefit of and enforce this Agreement as fully as if it were the signatory hereto in the place of Bison Capital Equity Partners II-A, L.P., and Bison Capital Equity Partners II-B, L.P., without the necessity of the execution or delivery of any other instrument or document.
 
24

 
8. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Signature on the one hand and the Subordinated Lender on the other hand, and nothing herein shall impair as between the Subordinated Lender and the Company, its obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Subordinated Lender the principal, interest and other charges due under the Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due in accordance with its terms; nor shall anything herein prevent the Subordinated Lender from exercising all rights and remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default, subject, however, to the rights of Signature under the provisions of this Agreement.
 
(b) If the Senior Debt shall have been irrevocably paid in full, and in case cash, securities or other property otherwise payable or deliverable to the Subordinated Lender shall have been applied pursuant to this Agreement to the payment of the Senior Debt, the Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to any right of Signature to receive any further payments or distributions applicable to the Senior Debt until the Subordinated Debt shall have been paid in full.
 
(c) Signature and the Subordinated Lender shall each use their commercially reasonable best efforts to give written notice to the other of a failure to pay the principal of or interest on the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt, respectively; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice for any reason whatsoever, shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement and shall not affect the respective rights of Signature or the Subordinated Lender hereunder in any way whatsoever.
 
25

 
(d) In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Subordinated Transaction Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.
