Section 2.01 Relative Priorities. (a) The grant of the Priority Liens pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents and the grant of the Second Liens pursuant to the Second Lien Documents create two separate and distinct Liens on the Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Priority Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents, or any other agreement or instrument or operation of law to the contrary, or any other circumstance whatsoever and irrespective of (i) how a Lien was acquired (whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise), (ii) the time, manner, order of the grant, attachment or perfection of a Lien, (iii) any conflicting provision of the New York UCC or other applicable law, (iv) any defect in, or non-perfection, setting aside, or avoidance of, a Lien or a Priority Lien Document or a Second Lien Document, (v) the modification of a Priority Lien Obligation or a Second Lien Obligation or (vi) the subordination of a Lien on Collateral securing a Priority Lien Obligation to a Lien securing another obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or other Person that is permitted under the Priority Lien Documents as in effect on the date hereof or securing a DIP Financing, or the subordination of a Lien on Collateral securing a Second Lien Obligation to a Lien securing another obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or other Person (other than a Priority Lien Obligation) that is permitted under the Second Lien Documents as in effect on the date hereof, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby agrees that:

(ii) any Second Lien on any Collateral now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Second Lien Secured Party shall be junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Priority Liens on any Collateral, in any case, subject to the Priority Lien Cap as provided herein, and

(iii) any Second Lien on any Collateral now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of any Second Lien Secured Party shall be equal in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Second Liens on any Collateral.

(c) It is acknowledged that, subject to the Priority Lien Cap (as provided herein), (i) the aggregate amount of the Priority Lien Obligations may be increased from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Priority Lien Documents, (ii) a portion of the Priority Lien Obligations under the Priority Lien Credit Agreement consists or may consist of indebtedness that is revolving in nature, and the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and (iii) (A) the Priority Lien Documents may be replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured or otherwise amended or modified from time to time and (B) the Priority Lien Obligations may be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, in the case of the foregoing (A) and (B), all without affecting the subordination of the Second Liens hereunder or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties.

The parties hereto agree that, (a) so long as the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has not occurred, none of the Grantors shall, nor shall any Grantor permit any of its subsidiaries to, (i) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Second Lien Obligation, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, unless it has granted, a Lien on such asset of such Grantor to secure the Priority Lien Obligations and has taken all actions required to perfect such Liens; or (ii) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Priority Lien Obligation, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, unless it has granted, a Lien on such asset of such Grantor to secure the Second Lien Obligations and has taken all actions required to perfect such Liens; provided, however, the refusal or inability of the Second Lien Collateral Agent to accept such Lien will not prevent the Priority Lien Agent from taking the Lien and (b) after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, none of the Grantors shall, nor shall any Grantor permit

any of its subsidiaries to grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Series of Second Lien Obligation, or take any action to perfect any additional Liens, unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants (or offers to grant), a Lien on such asset of such Grantor to secure the other Series of Second Lien Obligations; provided, however, the refusal or inability of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for such other Series of Second Lien Debt to accept such Lien will not prevent such Second Lien Collateral Agent from taking the Lien, with each such Lien as described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.03 to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Priority Lien Agent, the other Priority Lien Secured Parties, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second Lien Secured Parties, each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Lien Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.03 shall be subject to Section 3.05(b).

All Second Liens will remain attached to and enforceable against all proceeds so held or remitted, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 3.05(b) shall not apply to any proceeds of Collateral realized in a transaction not prohibited by the Priority Lien Documents and as to which the possession or receipt thereof by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party is otherwise not prohibited by the Priority Lien Documents.

ARTICLE IV.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 4.01 Release of Liens; Automatic Release of Second Liens. (a) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, in the event the Priority Lien Agent or the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents release the Priority Lien on any Collateral, each Second Lien on such Collateral shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if (i) such release is permitted under the Second Lien Documents (it being agreed that the Priority Lien Agent may conclusively rely upon a written request of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stating that the release of such Lien is permitted under the Second Lien Documents), (ii) such release is effected in connection with the Priority Lien Agent’s foreclosure upon, or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to, such Collateral, or (iii) such release is effected in connection with a sale or other Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Priority Lien Agent or the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition of such Collateral; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (A) the net proceeds of such Collateral are applied pursuant to Section 6.01 and (B) the Second Liens on such Collateral shall attach to (and shall remain subject and subordinate to all Priority Liens securing Priority Lien Obligations, subject to the Priority Lien Cap) any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other Disposition of Collateral not paid to the Priority Lien Secured Parties or that remain after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations.

(b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Priority Lien Agent, to evidence and confirm any release of Collateral provided for in this Section 4.01.

Section 4.02 Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. (a) The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. All references in this Agreement to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Grantor will include such Person or Persons as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, or if any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons shall, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party will raise any objection, contest or oppose (or join or support any third party in objecting, contesting or opposing), and each Second Lien

Secured Party shall be deemed to have consented to and will waive any claim such Person may now or hereafter have, to any such financing or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or to any use, sale or lease of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral or to any grant of administrative expense priority or any super-administrative priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless (A) the Priority Lien Agent opposes or objects to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral, or (B) the terms of such DIP Financing provide for the sale of a substantial part of the Collateral (other than a sale or disposition pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and with respect to which the Second Lien Secured Parties are deemed to have consented pursuant to Section 4.02(d)) or require the confirmation of a plan of reorganization containing specific terms or provisions (other than repayment in cash of such DIP Financing on the effective date thereof). To the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the Priority Liens, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Liens on the Collateral to the Priority Liens and to such DIP Financing Liens, so long as the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, retains Liens on all the Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority relative to the Priority Liens as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, without the written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, in its sole discretion, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Secured Party, agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing.

(d) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that it shall be deemed to have consented to, and shall not object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting), a sale or other Disposition, a motion to sell or Dispose or the bidding procedures for such sale or Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if (1) the Priority Lien Agent or the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Priority Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition, such motion to sell or Dispose or such bidding procedures for such sale or Disposition of such Collateral, (2) all Priority Liens, Second Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale or Disposition in the same respective priorities as set forth in this Agreement, (3) Section 6.01 is complied with in connection with such Disposition or credit bid and (4) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the holders of Second Lien Obligations, shall have the right to credit bid all or any portion of the Collateral so long as the Priority Lien Agent and the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations receive payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations after giving effect thereto.

(e) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, waives any claim that it may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens (that is granted in a manner that is consistent with this Agreement) or administrative expense priority or super-administrative priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent, nor any other Second Lien Secured Party, will file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief) based upon their interest in the Collateral, nor object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Priority Lien Agent or Priority Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection, except that the Second Lien Secured Parties may:

(i) freely seek and obtain relief granting adequate protection only in the form of a replacement lien co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 2.01) to, and with the same relative priority to the Priority Liens as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, all Liens granted in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the Priority Lien Secured Parties; and

(ii) freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition or restriction whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations.

(g) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each of the other of the Second Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim it or any such other Second Lien Secured Party, may now or hereafter have against the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of any election by the Priority Lien Agent or any Priority Lien Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(h) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall support or vote to accept any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Grantor unless such plan is either accepted by the Class of Priority Lien Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or provides for the payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest approved by the bankruptcy court, fees and expenses, and cash collateral of all letters of credit) not constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations on the effective date of such plan of reorganization. Except as otherwise provided in this clause (h), each of the Second Lien Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(i) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party, shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral if the Priority Lien Agent has not received relief from the automatic stay (or it has not been lifted for the Priority Lien Agent’s benefit) without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Agent.

(j) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Second Lien Secured Party, shall oppose or seek to challenge (or join or support any third party in opposing or seeking to challenge) any claim by the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party for allowance (but not payment until the Discharge of the Priority Lien Obligations has occurred) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Priority Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses or cash collateralization of all letters of credit to the extent of the value of the Priority Liens (it being understood that such value will be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Liens on the Collateral) subject to the Priority Lien Cap. Neither Priority Lien Agent nor any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, or any other Second Lien Secured Party, for allowance (but not payment until the Discharge of the Priority Lien Obligations has occurred) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Liens, on the Collateral; provided that if the Priority Lien Agent or any other Priority Lien Secured Party shall have made any such claim, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved contemporaneously with the approval of any such claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party.

(k) Without the express written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent, nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of Priority Lien Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the Priority Lien Secured Party of interest, fees or expenses, or to the cash collateralization of letters of credit, under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code subject to the Priority Lien Cap.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any such Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party hereby appoints the Priority Lien Agent, and any officer or agent of the Priority Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.02(l) and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Priority Lien Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02(l), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(m) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that the Priority Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right to credit bid the Priority Lien Obligations subject to the Priority Lien Cap and further that neither of the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall (or shall join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be) oppose, object to or contest such credit bid by the Priority Lien Agent; provided that (A) Section 6.01 is complied with in connection with such credit bid and (B) each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the holders of Second Lien Obligations shall have the right to credit bid all or any portion of the Collateral so long as the Priority Lien Agent and the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations receive payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations after giving effect thereto.

(n) Until the expiry of the Standstill Period, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the holders of Second Lien Obligations, without the written consent of the Priority Lien Agent in its sole discretion, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will not file an involuntary bankruptcy claim or seek the appointment of an examiner or a trustee for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries.

(o) Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, waives any right to assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against any Priority Lien Secured Party or any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

Section 4.03 Reinstatement. If any Priority Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the Priority Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Priority Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at any time, a Second Lien Secured Party, receives notice of any Recovery, and any Priority Lien Obligations (including any reinstated Priority Lien Obligations) not constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations are outstanding, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any other Second Lien Secured Party, shall promptly pay over to the Priority Lien Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Collateral subject to any Priority Lien securing such Priority Lien Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Priority Lien then held by it over to the Priority Lien Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, and then in its possession or under its control on account of the Second Lien Obligations or after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.03, be held in trust for and paid over to the Priority Lien Agent for the benefit of the Priority Lien Secured Parties for application to the reinstated Priority Lien Obligations

(other than reinstated Priority Lien Obligations constituting Excess Priority Lien Obligations) until the discharge thereof. If any Second Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Second Lien Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Second Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Second Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. After the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at any time, a Second Lien Secured Party receives notice of any Second Recovery, and any Second Lien Obligations (including any reinstated Second Lien Obligations) are outstanding, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, as applicable, shall promptly pay over to the Second Lien Collateral Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Collateral subject to any Second Lien securing such Second Lien Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Second Lien then held by it over to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any such Second Lien Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party and then in its possession or under its control on account of the Second Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.03, be held in trust for and paid over to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties for application to the reinstated Second Lien Obligations until the discharge thereof. This Section 4.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.04 Refinancings. The Priority Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations may be Replaced, by any Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility, as the case may be, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, that (i) the Priority Lien Agent, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall receive on or prior to incurrence of a Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility (A) an Officer’s Certificate from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ stating that (I) the incurrence thereof is permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be incurred and (II) the requirements of Section 4.06 have been satisfied, and (B) a Priority Confirmation Joinder from the holders or lenders of any indebtedness that Replaces the Priority Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations (or an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on their behalf), (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Priority Lien Obligations under the Priority Credit Agreement, after giving effect to such Priority Substitute Credit Facility, shall not exceed the Priority Lien Cap and (iii) on or before the date of such incurrence, such Priority Substitute Credit Facility or Second Lien Substitute Facility is designated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as “Priority Lien Debt” or “Second Lien Debt”, as applicable, for the purposes of the Secured Debt Documents and this Agreement; provided that no Series of Secured Debt may be designated as more than one of Priority Lien Debt or Second Lien Debt.

Each of the then-exiting Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be authorized to execute and deliver such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such holders, lenders, agent, trustee or other representative may reasonably request to give effect to any such Replacement, it being understood that the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent or (if permitted by the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Documents) the Grantors, without the consent of any other Secured Party or (in the case of the Grantors) one or more Secured Debt Representatives, may amend, supplement, modify or restate this Agreement to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such amendments or supplements to effect such Replacement or incurrence all at the expense of the Grantors. Upon the consummation of such Replacement or incurrence and the execution and delivery of the documents and agreements contemplated in the preceding sentence, the holders or lenders of such indebtedness and any authorized agent, trustee or other representative thereof shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement.

Section 4.05 Amendments to Second Lien Documents.

(a) Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Agent, no Second Lien Document may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified and/or refinanced or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification and/or refinancing, or the terms of any new Second Lien Document, would (i) adversely affect the lien priority rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or the rights of the Priority Lien Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents, (ii) except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, add any Liens securing the Collateral granted under the Second Lien Security Documents, (iii) confer any additional rights on the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party in a manner adverse to the Priority Lien Secured Parties, (iv) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or the Priority Lien Documents or (v) modify any Second Lien Document in any manner that would not have been permitted under the Priority Lien Documents to have been included in such Second Lien Document if such Second Lien Document was entered into as of the date of such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification and

(a) the Priority Lien Agent acknowledges with respect to the Priority Credit Agreement and the Priority Lien Security Documents, and

(b) the Second Lien Collateral Agent acknowledges with respect to each Second Lien Indenture and the Second Lien Security Documents, that each Second Lien Indenture, the Second Lien Documents (other than control agreements to which both the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent are parties), and each associated Security Document (other than control agreements to which both the Priority Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent are parties) granting any security interest in the Collateral will contain the appropriate legend set forth on Annex I.

Section 4.07 Second Lien Secured Parties as Unsecured Creditors; Judgment Lien Creditor. Both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any of the Second Lien Secured Parties may take any actions and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims; provided, however, that the Second Lien Secured Parties may not take any of the actions prohibited by Section 3.05(a) or clauses (b) through (f) of Section 4.02 or any other provisions in this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event that any of the Second Lien Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Priority Lien Obligations) as the Second Liens, are subject to this Agreement.

Section 4.08 Postponement of Subrogation. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that no payment or distribution to any Priority Lien Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle any Second Lien Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until, in the case of the Second Lien Secured Parties, the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations. Following the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, but subject to the reinstatement as provided in Section 4.03, each Priority Lien Secured Party will execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as any Second Lien Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Priority Lien Obligations resulting from payments or distributions to such Priority Lien Secured Party by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by such Priority Lien Secured Party are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

The Priority Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges that this Agreement is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship, that each has relied on this Agreement to enter into the Priority Credit Agreement, each Second Lien Indenture, as applicable, and all documentation related thereto, and that each will continue to rely on this Agreement in their related future dealings.

ARTICLE V.

GRATUITOUS BAILMENT FOR PERFECTION

OF CERTAIN SECURITY INTERESTS

Section 5.01 General. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Priority Lien on any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any Account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such Account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Priority Lien Agent, the Priority Lien Agent will serve as gratuitous bailee or agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Second Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. It is agreed that the obligations of the Priority Lien Agent and the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties in connection with any such bailment or agency arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Priority Lien Agent will be deemed to make no

representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to perfect the Second Lien on any such Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty, obligation or liability to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, or any other Person for such perfection or failure to perfect, it being understood that the sole purpose of this Article is to enable the Second Lien Secured Parties to obtain a perfected Second Lien to the extent, if any, that such perfection results from the possession or control of such Collateral or any such Account by the Priority Lien Agent. The Priority Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not have by reason of the Priority Lien Security Documents, the Second Lien Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document or theory, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Priority Lien Secured Party, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party. Subject to Section 4.03, from and after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or any such Account (in each case to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent has a Lien on such Collateral or Account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Second Lien Secured Parties.

Section 5.02 Deposit Accounts. Prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, to the extent that any Account is under the control of the Priority Lien Agent at any time, the Priority Lien Agent will act as gratuitous bailee or agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Second Lien Secured Parties in such Accounts and the cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 3.01 (but will have no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Second Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, any duty, responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement or the establishment of such perfection) except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5.02(a)). Unless the Second Liens on such Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released, after the occurrence of Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Agent shall, at the request of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, cooperate with the Grantors and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in permitting control of any other Accounts to be transferred to the Second Lien Collateral Agent (or for other arrangements with respect to each such Accounts satisfactory to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to be made).

Each Secured Debt Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

(b) The purchase and sale of the Priority Lien Note Obligations under this Article X will be without recourse and without representation or warranty whatsoever by the Priority Lien Secured Parties, except that the Priority Lien Secured Parties represent and warrant that on the Purchase Date, immediately before giving effect to the purchase, the Priority Lien Secured Parties have the right to convey whatever claims and interests they may have in respect of the Priority Lien Note Obligations.
