Such exercise and enforcement shall include the sale, lease, license, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by private or public sale or any other means permissible under applicable law or any agreement; provided, that the Collateral Agent agrees to provide copies of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to the Senior Agent until the Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred; provided further, that the failure to provide any such copies to the Senior Agent shall not impair any of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.

          (b) Release of Liens.

          (i) In the event of any such private or public sale by the Senior Agent or its designee, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, that, until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity Interests in any Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Indenture Secured Obligations so long as the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Senior Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (ii) If and to the extent that the Senior Agent or its designee releases any of its Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Liens, if any, of the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Noteholders, on such

Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Collateral Agent, for itself and for each of the Trustee and the Noteholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Senior Agent may request to effectively confirm such release in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Collateral Agent to release its Lien on such Collateral shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of remedies or is permitted by (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by) the Senior Credit Documents and the terms hereof.

          (iii) In the event of any private or public sale by the Collateral Agent permitted by the terms of this Agreement following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, that such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity Interests in any Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Credit Agreement Secured Obligations so long as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Indenture Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Senior Agent agrees that it will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (iv) If and to the extent that the Collateral Agent or its designee releases any of its Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Liens, if any, of the Senior Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Senior Agent, for itself and for the Senior Lenders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Collateral Agent may request to effectively confirm such release in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Senior Agent to release its Lien on such Collateral shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of remedies or is permitted by (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by) the Indenture Agreements and the terms hereof.

          (c) Except as provided in Section 3.01, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders may exercise, and nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of, any right it may have at law or equity to receive notice of, or to commence or join with any creditor in commencing any Insolvency Proceeding or to join or participate in, any action or proceeding or other activity described in Section 3.01; provided, however, that exercise of any such right by the Collateral Agent shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the obligation to turn over Collateral and Proceeds to the Senior Agent for application to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as provided in Section 4.02.

          (d) The Collateral Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Indenture Secured Obligations as may be necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders or rules of procedure (including, without limitation, the filing of any proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding), but except as provided in this Section 2.04 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not take any

actions restricted by this Agreement until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have occurred.

          (e) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the other provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders as if it were the Senior Agent and the Senior Agent was the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis.

     Section 2.05 Insurance. The parties acknowledge that at the time of execution of this Agreement the Senior Agent shall be named as loss payee and/or mortgagee under all insurance policies of Parent, the Borrowers and the Guarantors insuring the Collateral. The parties agree that following the execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek to be named as subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee on all such insurance policies; provided that until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred (i) all such certificates and endorsements to such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgage shall include a legend or statement indicating that (x) the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive amounts payable under such policies are subordinate and junior to the rights of the Senior Agent to the extent set forth herein and (y) the Senior Agent shall have the exclusive right to the extent set forth herein to provide instructions to each insurer under each such policy, and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall, or shall cause the Borrowers to, provide the Senior Agent with copies of all such certificates and endorsements to such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgagee. Until such time as the Collateral Agent shall have obtained certificates and endorsements to all such insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee, the Senior Agent agrees that the designation of the Senior Agent as loss payee and/or mortgagee on all such policies shall be as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the Indenture Secured Obligations. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of the Senior Credit Documents, the Senior Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the Senior Agent and shall be disbursed by the Senior Agent as follows: first, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents or unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, to Parent, Borrowers and Guarantors; second, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents or if otherwise required by the Loan Documents, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement; and third, to the extent no Indenture Secured Obligations or Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, if the Collateral Agent or any holder of Indenture Secured Obligations shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or such holder of Indenture Secured Obligations shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 2.06 Collateral Access Agreements.

          (a) The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any collateral access agreement, landlord waiver or other similar agreement (any such access agreement, waiver or other agreement, a “Collateral Access Agreement”) by and among the Senior

Agent, the Collateral Agent, Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor and any landlord or warehouse operator where any Collateral is stored or located or any other bailee, consignee or other similar Person in possession of any Collateral (any such bailee, consignee or other Person, a “Bailee”), shall be for the benefit of both (x) the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders, and (y) the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders. Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Senior Agent (as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the holders of the Indenture Secured Obligations) shall have the sole and exclusive right to contact, provide instructions, and deliver notices to, all landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, to exercise rights under Collateral Access Agreements, and to take possession of any Collateral in the possession of any landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, at the request of the Collateral Agent, the Senior Agent shall (i) assign to the Collateral Agent all rights of the Senior Agent under all Collateral Access Agreements and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify all landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees that the Senior Agent has assigned its rights to the Collateral Agent and that such landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees shall follow all notices and instructions provided by the Collateral Agent with respect to any and all Collateral in their possession (a “Notice of Assignment”).

          (b) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and until such time as the Collateral Agent shall have either (i) received an acknowledgement from the landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees party to Collateral Access Agreements of receipt of a Notice of Assignment or (ii) entered into new Collateral Access Agreements with all applicable landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, the Senior Agent agrees to continue to act as the agent for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders, and to follow all instructions provided to the Senior Agent by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral in the possession of landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees; provided that, the Senior Agent shall not be obligated to take any action that is, in its reasonable opinion, contrary to any applicable law, rule or regulation, the terms of this Agreement or the terms of any Loan Document. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent (to the extent that the Collateral Agent, in turn, is entitled to enforce a right of reimbursement or indemnification against the Parent, Borrower or Guarantors pursuant to any of the Indenture Agreements), for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, agrees to indemnify Senior Agent and its officers, directors, agents and employees for and against all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any action taken by Senior Agent with respect to Collateral in the possession of a landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee at the request or in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Agent, except to the extent the claims, liabilities, or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees.

Each of the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, and the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and each Noteholder, as applicable, agree to hold all Control Collateral and Cash Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its respective possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either, as applicable) as agent for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Control Collateral or Cash Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.02. None of the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or the Noteholders, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person.

ARTICLE IV.

NOTICES AND APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS

     Section 4.01 Notices of Exercise. Concurrently with any exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Agreements following the occurrence of any default

under the Indenture Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall give notice of such exercise to the Senior Agent and shall only exercise such rights or remedies in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Concurrently with any exercise by the Senior Agent of any of its rights and remedies under the Senior Credit Documents following the occurrence of any default under the Senior Credit Documents, the Senior Agent shall give notice of such exercise to the Collateral Agent and shall only exercise such rights or remedies in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.

          (a) Revolving Nature of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. As long as the Senior Agent is not exercising any of its remedies as a secured creditor under the Senior Credit Documents and including during any Standstill Period, the Senior Agent may apply any and all of the proceeds of the Collateral consisting of accounts receivable, other rights to payment or Cash Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Credit Documents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 3.02 and 4.02 hereof. The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) any such application of the proceeds of accounts receivable, other rights to payment or Cash Collateral or the release of any Lien by the Senior Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition of assets by the Borrowers or the Guarantors that is permitted under the terms of the Senior Credit Documents shall not be considered to be the exercise of remedies under this Agreement; and (b) all Proceeds of Cash Collateral received by the Senior Agent in connection therewith may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited or reborrowed, in whole or in part, as Credit Agreement Secured Obligations without reducing the Maximum Priority Debt Amount. The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, further acknowledges that the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time (subject to Section 5.02(a)), and that the aggregate amount of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced from time to time, subject to the Maximum Priority Debt Amount. The lien priorities provided in this Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.

          (b) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Payment. Upon the Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent or execute such documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to cause the Collateral Agent to have control over any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in the Senior Agent’s or its designee’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Collateral Agent to the Indenture Secured Obligations. Proceeds of any exercise by the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of any of their respective secured creditor rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents, under applicable law, or otherwise with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, shall be applied as provided in Section 4.02(c) below.

          (c) Application of Proceeds. The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree that all Collateral and all Proceeds received by either of them upon the Exercise Of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be applied as follows:

          first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with such exercise;

          second, to the payment of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations up to (but not in excess of) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount;

          third, to the payment of the Indenture Secured Obligations; and

          fourth, to the payment of any Excess Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.

In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the Senior Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or to any Noteholder and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission save and except solely an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 4.03 Specific Performance. Each of the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, at any time when the other shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it; provided, however, the remedy of specific performance shall not be available, and the asserting party shall be free to assert any and all legal defenses it may possess, if such remedy would result in, or otherwise constitute, a violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Each of the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

ARTICLE V.

INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND WAIVERS

     Section 5.01 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

          (a) All Credit Agreement Secured Obligations at any time made or incurred by Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Senior Agent of this Agreement, and (ii) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. Neither the Senior Agent, nor any Senior Lender, nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so (other than in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Senior Agent or such Senior Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. If the Senior Agent honors (or fails to honor) a request by a Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents, whether the Senior Agent has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Indenture or any Indenture Agreement or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the Senior Agent otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Credit Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), the Senior Agent shall not have any liability whatsoever to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The Senior Agent will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and

extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and other Senior Credit Documents as the Senior Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Agent may manage its loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders have in the Collateral or otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent shall not incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to the Senior Credit Documents conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

          (b) None of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders nor any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders should exercise any of their contractual rights or remedies under the Indenture Agreements (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders shall have any liability whatsoever to the Senior Agent as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The Collateral Agent, the Trustee, and the Noteholders will be entitled to manage and supervise the Indenture Agreements as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03, the Senior Agent agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or the Noteholders shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, pursuant to the Indenture Agreements conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law.

     Section 5.02 Modifications to Senior Credit Documents and Indenture Agreements.

          (a) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby agrees that, without affecting the obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders hereunder, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents (except as otherwise provided herein) in any manner whatsoever, including, to

          (i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew or alter, all or any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or otherwise amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, all or any part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or any of the Senior Credit Documents,

          (ii) retain or obtain a Lien on any property of any Person to secure any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, and in that connection to enter into any additional Senior Credit Documents,

          (iii) amend, or grant any waiver, compromise or release with respect to, or consent to any departure from, any guaranty or other obligations of any Person obligated in any manner under or in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations,

          (iv) release its Lien on any Collateral or other property,

          (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person,

          (vi) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other Person with respect to any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, and

          (vii) otherwise manage and supervise the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as the Senior Agent shall deem appropriate;

provided, however, that unless the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders agrees in advance in writing, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, replacement, refinancing, extension, consolidation, restructuring, or other modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents shall:

          (A) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation on the making of (x) scheduled payments of interest (including default interest, if applicable) in respect of the Indenture Secured Obligations as required under the Indenture Agreements or (y) indemnification payments provided for under the Indenture Agreements, in each case that are more restrictive to Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors than those set forth in the Senior Credit Documents (as in effect on the date hereof);

          (B) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or impose any limitation or restriction as contemplated by Section 5.02(d) below

          (b) The Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, hereby agrees that Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the Senior Agent (except to the extent any such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to the Senior Agent or impairing or releasing the subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Indenture Agreements in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, that unless the Senior Agent otherwise agrees in advance in writing, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, replacement, refinancing, extension, consolidation, restructuring, or other modification of the Indenture Agreements shall:

          (i) provide for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder to obtain a Lien on any assets of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor not constituting Collateral unless (A) the Senior Agent also obtains a Lien on such assets either before or at the same time as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or such Noteholder or (B) the Senior Agent declines in a writing to Collateral Agent to obtain a Lien on such assets;

          (ii) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation on the making of any payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as and when the same shall be due under the Senior Credit Documents;

          (iii) change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal shall be due under the Indenture Agreements; or

          (iv) contravene the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5.02 shall not be construed to constitute a waiver by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder of any provision of the Indenture.

          (d) To the extent the Senior Agent obtains a Lien on any assets of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor not constituting Collateral, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of the Collateral Agent to seek a Lien on such assets on the same basis as the Lien Priority.

     Section 5.03 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.

          (a) If the Senior Agent is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to 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. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, and the Noteholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. No priority or right of the Senior Agent shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Senior Agent may have.

          (b) If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person a Recovery, then the Indenture Secured Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. No priority or right of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any of the other Indenture Agreements, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder may have.

     Section 5.04 New Credit Facility. If at any time Parent, any Borrower or any Subsidiaries of Parent or any Borrower enters into a New Credit Facility in connection with a Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and any prior termination thereof, if any, as a result of a prior Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto (including the lender providing the New Credit Facility) from such date of reinstatement; provided that in connection with any New Credit Facility, the Company and the lender providing such New Credit Facility or its designee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an acknowledgment, in substantially the form of Annex A. It is hereby agreed that the entering into of

any new Credit Agreement would not constitute an amendment, modification or supplement to any of the Indenture Agreements.

ARTICLE VI.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

     Section 6.01 DIP Financing. If Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the Senior Agent shall desire, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding (“DIP Financing”) to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with its or their interest in any such Collateral except to the extent specified in this Section 6.01. To the extent the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby agrees that the Collateral Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall be subordinated to such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent) upon the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral and will not provide or offer to provide any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, in each case unless the Senior Agent otherwise has provided its express written consent.

     Section 6.02 No Contest. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Senior Agent for adequate protection, or (b) any objection by the Senior Agent to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on Senior Agent claiming that their interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the Senior Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien hereby is and shall be deemed to be subordinated to the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations on the same basis as the Lien Priority up to (but not in excess of) the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent). In the event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of Liens in respect of additional collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and each of the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent also shall be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations (and for any such DIP Financing) and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Indenture Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens in respect of such additional collateral securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and any other Liens granted to the Senior Agent as

adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations are subordinated to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under this Agreement up to the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all obligations related thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent). Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Agent, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any of the Noteholders, including the seeking by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of adequate protection or the asserting by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Agreements or otherwise.

     Section 6.03 Asset Sales. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Senior Agent of Collateral pursuant to Section 363 or 365 of Title 11 of the United States Code (or any similar provision in any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) so long as (i) if the proceeds of such sale are retained by the Senior Agent, the Senior Agent agrees to apply such proceeds in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) if the Senior Agent agrees to permit any portion of such proceeds to be retained by Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to be used as cash collateral, the Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors use such portion of such proceeds as cash collateral in accordance with the agreement of the Senior Agent, subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders to seek or request adequate protection in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02.

     Section 6.04 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that all distributions that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder receives in any Insolvency Proceeding on account of the Collateral or Proceeds shall be held in trust by such Person and turned over to the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, for application in accordance with Section 4.02 of this Agreement. To the extent that any amounts received by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder are paid over in connection with this provision, the obligations owed by Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to such Person will be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of the amounts so paid over.

ARTICLE VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Collateral Agent agrees that no payment or distribution to the Senior Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations resulting from payments or distributions to the Senior Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Senior Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that either Party may reasonably request, in order to

protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.02 to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.02.

     Section 7.03 Representations. The Original Senior Agent represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Original Credit Agreement to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders. The Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it has the requisite power and authority under the Indenture to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders.
