ABL Intercreditor Agreement (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement and the exercise of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under any other Collateral Document are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
(b) In accordance with the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, all Term Priority Collateral delivered to the First Lien Agent shall be held by the First Lien Agent as gratuitous bailee for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under this Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, to the extent any Grantor is required hereunder to deliver Term Priority Collateral to the Administrative Agent and is unable to do so as a result of having previously delivered such Term Priority Collateral to the First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents, such Grantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such delivery shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery to the First Lien Agent, acting as gratuitous bailee of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Furthermore, at all times prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Administrative Agent is authorized by the parties hereto to effect transfers of Term Priority Collateral at any time in its possession (and any “control” or similar agreements with respect to Term Priority Collateral) to the First Lien Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, in the event the First Lien Loan Documents provide for the grant of a security interest or pledge over the assets of any Grantor and such assets do not otherwise constitute Collateral under this Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, such Grantor shall (i) promptly grant a security interest in or pledge such assets to secure the Secured Obligations, (ii) promptly take any actions necessary to perfect such security interest or pledge to the extent set forth in the First Lien Loan Documents and (iii) take all other steps reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing.
(e) Nothing contained in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of this Security Agreement, which, as among the Grantors and the Administrative Agent shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
Intercreditor Agreement (a) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties acknowledges that obligations of the Company and the other Loan Parties under the Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, upon incurrence thereof, may be secured by Liens on assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties that constitute Collateral (and by fee-owned real property of the Company and the Subsidiary Loan Parties, whether or not such fee-owned real property constitutes Collateral), and that the relative Lien priority and other creditor rights of the Secured Parties and the secured parties in respect of Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness will be set forth in an Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of each Intercreditor Agreement that the Company may from time to time request (i) to give effect to any establishment, incurrence, amendment, extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Permitted Non-ABL Indebtedness, (ii) to confirm for any party that each Intercreditor Agreement is effective and binding upon the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or (iii) to effect any other amendment, supplement or modification so long as the resulting agreement has terms and conditions consistent with the then existing market practice (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to determine the terms and conditions of any such amendments, supplements or modifications to each Intercreditor Agreement, and that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for, or be responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Secured Party, or by any Loan Party, as a result of, any such determination).
(d) Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably further authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, in each case on behalf of such Secured Party and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Secured Party, any amendments, supplements or other modifications of any Collateral Document to add or remove any legend that may be required pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement.

Each of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Secured Parties waives any conflict of interest in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its Affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.
(f) The Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VII and Section 8.03 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof.
(g) Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Section 8.19.
Intercreditor Agreements The Lenders and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize and instruct the Administrative Agent to, without any further consent of any Lender or any other Secured Party, enter into (or acknowledge and consent to) or amend, renew, extend, supplement, restate, replace, waive or otherwise modify (i) the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) any First Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the Senior Representative(s) of Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted hereunder and intended to be pari passu with the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) any Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the Senior Representative(s) of the holders of Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted hereunder and intended to be junior to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations under this Agreement.

Further, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall enter into, or amend, any Intercreditor Agreement to permit the incurrence of any Specified Indebtedness permitted to be secured by the Collateral hereunder.
The Collateral Agent (a) Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(f) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent, bailee, clearing corporation or securities intermediary or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any agent, bailee, clearing corporation or securities intermediary selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith (or selected by an agent, bailee, clearing corporation or securities intermediary so selected by the Collateral Agent or by any agent, bailee, clearing corporation or securities intermediary selected in accordance with this parenthetical phrase).
(g) Any corporation or association into which the Collateral Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its agency business or assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party, shall, subject to the prior written consent of Secured Party, be and become a successor Collateral Agent hereunder and vested with all of the title to the Collateral and all of the powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and other matters as was its predecessor without, except as provided above, the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.
