Section 2.4 No New Liens. (a) Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, no Term Loan Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Loan Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Representative under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein. If any Term Loan Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Loan Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Representative under the ABL Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the Term Loan Representative (or the relevant Term Loan Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Loan Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Loan Document be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the ABL Representative as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien.

If any ABL Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Representative under the Term Loan Documents, subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the ABL Representative (or the relevant ABL Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document be deemed to also hold and have held such lien for the benefit of the Term Loan Representative as security for the Term Loan Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the Term Loan Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien.

(c) Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the parties hereto agree that (except as may be separately agreed in writing by and between the Term Loan Representative and the ABL Representative, each on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby), no Term Loan Secured Party shall knowingly acquire or hold any guarantee of Term Loan Obligations

18

by any Person unless such Person also provides a guarantee of the ABL Obligations. If any Term Loan Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any guarantee of the Term Loan Obligations by any Person who does not provide a guarantee of the ABL Obligations, then the Term Loan Representative shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Loan Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Term Loan Documents be deemed to also hold and have held such guarantee for the benefit of the ABL Representative and shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of the existence of such guarantee.

(d) Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the parties hereto agree that (except as may be separately agreed in writing by and between the Term Loan Representative and the ABL Representative, each on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties represented thereby), no ABL Secured Party shall knowingly acquire or hold any guarantee of ABL Obligations by any Person unless such Person also provides a guarantee of the Term Loan Obligations.

Section 2.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and should be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Loan Obligation claims against the Loan Parties (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Loan Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties)), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

Nothing contained in this Section 3.4 shall restrict the rights of the Term Loan Representative from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any of the Loan Parties’ Intellectual Property; provided, that the Term Loan Representative agrees that any sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Loan Parties’ Intellectual Property (whether by foreclosure or otherwise) will be subject to the ABL

24

Representative’s rights as set forth in this Section 3.4. The ABL Representative acknowledges that with respect to the Intellectual Property subject to the foregoing license, the Term Loan Representative or third party purchaser, as owner of such Intellectual Property, shall have such rights of quality control (“quality” being the relevant Loan Party’s standards in effect immediately prior to the ABL Representative’s use of the relevant Intellectual Property) and inspection to the extent reasonably necessary pursuant to applicable law to maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property, provided, that if the Term Loan Representative elects to exercise such quality control and/or inspection rights it may retain professionals to do so at the expense of the Loan Parties.

(c) If the Term Loan Representative, or any agent or representative of the Term Loan Representative, or any receiver, shall, after the commencement of any Enforcement Action, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Representative shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of that fact, and the ABL Representative shall, within ten Business Days thereafter, notify the Term Loan Representative in writing as to whether the ABL Representative desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement. In addition, if the ABL Representative, or any agent or representative of the ABL Representative, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action, then the ABL Representative shall promptly notify the Term Loan Representative that the ABL Representative is exercising its access rights under this Agreement and its rights under Section 3.4 under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Representative to the Term Loan Representative, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Representative’s exercise of such access rights, with such access rights to apply to any Real Property or Equipment constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral access to which is reasonably necessary to enable the ABL Representative during normal business hours to convert ABL Priority Collateral consisting of raw materials and work-in-process into saleable finished goods and/or to transport such ABL Priority Collateral to a point where such conversion can occur, to otherwise prepare ABL Priority Collateral for sale and/or to arrange or effect the sale of ABL Priority Collateral, all in accordance with the manner in which such matters are completed in the ordinary course of business. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels of Real Property or items of Equipment constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such parcel of Real Property and each such item of Equipment. During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Representative and its agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the relevant Real Property or Equipment constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral for the purposes described above.

(d) The ABL Representative shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any Term Loan Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Representative during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by any act or omission of the ABL Representative or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Representative shall comply with all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy or possession of the ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Representative shall (i) use the Term Loan Priority Collateral the subject of this Section 3.4 in accordance with applicable law in all material respects, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to insure or cause to be insured for damage to the Term Loan Priority Collateral for the benefit of the Term Loan

25

Creditors (and deliver to the Term Loan Representative evidence of such insurance), (iii) reimburse the Term Loan Representative for any incremental additional amounts required to be paid in respect of increases in the cost of utilities, taxes, rent, repair, insurance (without duplication of insurance acquired pursuant to clause (ii) above) and other operating cost of such Term Loan Priority Collateral as a result of the use thereof by the ABL Representative that the Term Loan Representative or Term Loan Creditors would not have had to pay or be responsible for but for the use thereof by the ABL Representative pursuant to its right hereunder during any such period of actual occupation, use or control, but only to the extent a Loan Party is not otherwise paying any such amounts and to leave such Term Loan Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and (iv) indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Representative and the Term Loan Creditors for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control; provided, however, that the ABL Representative and the ABL Creditors will not be liable for any diminution in the value of Term Loan Priority Collateral caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. The ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of Term Loan Representative to show the Term Loan Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Term Loan Priority Collateral for sale. Consistent with the definition of the term “Access Period,” if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Representative from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL Representative under this Section 3.4 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.4. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of the Term Loan Representative from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Access Period so long as the Term Loan Representative uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from any such purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof an agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.4; provided further that, nothing contained herein is intended to grant in favor of the ABL Representative any rights greater than those of the Term Loan Representative, including all rights and restrictions and applicable time periods set forth in any applicable landlord waiver or other similar access agreements.

Section 3.5 No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6 hereof, if any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party shall be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party.

Section 3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the ABL Representative or the Term Loan Representative, as applicable, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, as applicable, may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party.

26

(b) Should any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party), as applicable, or the relevant Loan Party, may obtain relief against such ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, as applicable, by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by each of the ABL Representative on behalf of each ABL Secured Party and the Term Loan Representative on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party that (i) the ABL Secured Parties’ or Term Loan Secured Parties’, as applicable, damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Term Loan Secured Party or ABL Secured Party, as applicable, waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the Term Loan Secured Parties and/or ABL Secured Parties, as applicable, cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

SECTION 4. Application of Proceeds of Senior Collateral; Dispositions and Releases of Lien; Notices and Insurance.

Section 4.1 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Application of Proceeds of Senior Collateral. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party and whether or not any default or event of default under the Senior Documents has occurred, the Senior Representative and Junior Representative hereby agree that all Senior Collateral, and all Proceeds thereof, received by either of them in connection with the collection, sale or disposition of Senior Collateral from an Enforcement Action shall be applied,

first, to the payment of costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) of the Senior Representative in connection with such Enforcement Action,

second, to the payment of the Senior Obligations in accordance with the Senior Documents until the Senior Obligations Payment Date,

third, to the payment of the Junior Obligations in accordance with the Junior Documents,

fourth, in respect of any remaining Common Collateral or Proceeds thereof, to the payment of any ABL Excess Amount and any Term Loan Excess Amount, on a pro rata basis, and

fourth, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the Senior Representative shall have no obligation or liability to the Junior Representative or to any Junior Secured Party, regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each party under the terms of this Agreement.

27

(c) Segregation of Collateral; Turnover. Until the occurrence of the Senior Obligations Payment Date, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, any Senior Collateral that may be received by any Junior Secured Party in violation of this Agreement or under the proviso to Section 3.2 shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Senior Representative, for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Junior Secured Party hereby authorizes the Senior Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Junior Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

Section 4.2 Releases of Liens. Upon any release, sale or disposition of Senior Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Documents that results in the release of the Senior Lien on any Senior Collateral (including without limitation any sale or other disposition pursuant to any Enforcement Action) (other than release of the Senior Lien due to the occurrence of the Senior Obligations Payment Date), the Junior Lien on such Senior Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Senior Collateral remaining after the Senior Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person. The Junior Representative shall, at the Loan Parties’ expense, promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the Senior Representative shall request to evidence any release of the Junior Lien described in this Section 4.2. The Junior Representative hereby appoints the Senior Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Junior Representative and in the name of the Junior Representative or in the Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Senior Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

Section 4.3 Certain Real Property Notices; Insurance. (a) [Reserved].

(b) The Term Loan Representative shall give the ABL Representative at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to commencing any Enforcement Action against any Real Property owned by any Loan Party at which ABL Priority Collateral is stored or otherwise located or to dispossess any Loan Party from such Real Property.

(c) Proceeds of Common Collateral include insurance proceeds and therefore the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Representative shall be named as additional insured or lender loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to ABL Priority Collateral and the Term Loan Representative shall be named as additional insured or lender loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to Term Loan Priority Collateral. The ABL Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Loan Representative, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Loan Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Representative, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss,

28

theft or destruction of Term Loan Priority Collateral. All proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Representative or the Term Loan Representative, as the case may be, and each of the Term Loan Representative and ABL Representative shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1.

Section 4.4 Push Down Reserves. Within three (3) Business Days following the ABL Representative’s receipt of written notice (a “Push Down Reserve Notice”) from the Term Loan Representative specifying that the aggregate Term Loan Outstandings (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) of all Term Loan Creditors on such date exceeds the aggregate Term Loan Borrowing Base (or, Term Loan Borrowing Base II, if applicable under the Term Loan Agreement at the time) in each case, as reflected in the borrowing base certificate most recently delivered by the Company to the Term Loan Representative (such excess amount, the “Push Down Excess Amount”), the ABL Representative shall implement a Push Down Reserve (as defined in the ABL Agreement) in an amount equal to the Push Down Reserve Amount; provided that (a) for the avoidance of doubt, the Push Down Reserve will only be required to be implemented or adjusted in an amount that after giving effect to the implementation of, or adjustment to, such Push Down Reserve, Excess Availability under the ABL Agreement will be equal to or greater than $0, (b) the Term Loan Representative (i) may provide additional Push Down Reserve Notices and the Push Down Reserve Amount may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with the foregoing within three (3) Business Days following the ABL Representative’s receipt of such additional Push Down Reserve Notices and (ii) so long as the Push Down Reserve is in effect, the Term Loan Representative shall provide (A) written notice to the ABL Representative promptly after (and in any event, no longer than three (3) Business Days after) any payment is made by the Borrowers resulting in an adjustment to the Push Down Excess Amount used to implement the applicable Push Down Reserve and (B) within four (4) Business Days after receiving the borrowing base certificate under the Term Loan Agreement, a certificate signed by an authorized officer of the Term Loan Representative specifying the Push Down Excess Amount, if any, then in effect; provided further, that, in each case under the foregoing clause (ii), the Push Down Reserve will be terminated and/or the Push Down Reserve Amount will be adjusted based on the new Push Down Excess Amount in accordance with the foregoing promptly following receipt of such notice and/or monthly certificate.

SECTION 5. Insolvency Proceedings.

Section 5.1 Enforceability. This Agreement shall be applicable as to Collateral and the Proceeds thereof in existence both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and any succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any such Collateral or Proceeds thereof, shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement in any Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 5.2 DIP Financing Matters. (a) If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, and if the ABL Representative or the other ABL Secured Parties desire to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the use of ABL Priority Collateral constituting cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing

29

to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party secured by all or a portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (any such financing, “ABL DIP Financing”), then the Term Loan Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, that each Term Loan Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such ABL DIP Financing and (ii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Term Loan Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral (A) to such ABL DIP Financing on the same terms as the ABL Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection provided to the ABL Secured Parties and (C) to any “carve-out” for professional fees and customary fees and expenses agreed to by the ABL Representative or the other ABL Secured Parties and approved by the bankruptcy court, in each case so long as such ABL DIP Financing meets all of the applicable ABL DIP Financing Conditions and the ABL Representative maintains a reserve against the ABL Borrowing Base in the estimated amount of any such unpaid “carve-out” for professional fees and customary fees and expenses. If such ABL DIP Financing meets all of the applicable ABL DIP Financing Conditions, the Term Loan Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties that it shall not object to such ABL DIP Financing in its capacity as a secured creditor (but the foregoing does not restrict the Term Loan Representative from protecting its rights and claims as an unsecured creditor). In no event will any of the ABL Secured Parties seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by Term Loan Secured Parties to any adequate protection payments using Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(b) If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, and if the Term Loan Representative or the other Term Loan Secured Parties desire to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the use of Term Loan Priority Collateral constituting cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party secured by all or a portion of the Term Loan Priority Collateral (any such financing, “Term Loan DIP Financing”), then the ABL Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, that each ABL Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such Term Loan DIP Financing and (ii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the ABL Liens on any Term Loan Priority Collateral (A) to such Term Loan DIP Financing on the same terms as the Term Loan Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection provided to the Term Loan Secured Parties and (C) to any “carve-out” for professional fees and customary fees and expenses agreed to by the Term Loan Representative or the other Term Loan Secured Parties and approved by the bankruptcy court, in each case so long as such Term Loan DIP Financing meets all of the applicable Term Loan DIP Financing Conditions and the Term Loan Representative maintains a reserve against the Term Loan Borrowing Base (or, Term Loan Borrowing Base II, if applicable under the Term Loan Agreement at the time) in each case in the estimated amount of any such unpaid “carve-out” for professional fees and customary fees and expenses. If such Term Loan DIP Financing meets all of the applicable Term Loan DIP Financing Conditions, the ABL Representative agrees, on behalf

30

of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties that it shall not object to such ABL DIP Financing in its capacity as a secured creditor (but the foregoing does not restrict the ABL Representative from protecting its rights and claims as an unsecured creditor). In no event will any of the Term Loan Secured Parties seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the ABL Priority Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by the ABL Secured Parties to any adequate protection payments using ABL Priority Collateral.

(c) All Liens granted to the Term Loan Representative or the ABL Representative in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the Term Loan Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Representative. Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Representative. In addition, neither the Term Loan Representative nor the ABL Representative shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Common Collateral without providing ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the other, unless otherwise agreed by both the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative.

Section 5.4 No Contest. The Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Senior Obligations Payment Date, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Senior Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), as applicable), or (b) any objection by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party that its interests in the Senior Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b), as applicable) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the Senior Representative as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred and to the extent that (a) the ABL Cap Amount was decreased in connection with any such payment of ABL Obligations, the ABL Cap Amount shall

31

be increased to such extent or (b) the Term Loan Cap Amount was decreased in connection with any such payment of Term Loan Obligations, the Term Loan Cap Amount shall be increased to such extent. 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. The Junior Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. Neither the Junior Representative nor any other Junior Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Senior Collateral that is supported by the Senior Secured Parties, and the Junior Representative and each other Junior Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Senior Collateral supported by the Senior Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that this Section 5.6 shall not apply to any case of a sale or disposition of Real Property unless the ABL Representative has received at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice of the consummation of any such sale.

Section 5.7 Other Matters. To the extent that the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Junior Collateral, the Senior Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Senior Secured Parties, not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the Junior Representative; provided that if requested by the Junior Representative, the Senior Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Junior Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

Section 5.8 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 5.9 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall affect the rights or claims of any Representative or any Secured Party as an unsecured creditor in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the Representatives and the Secured Parties shall retain all such rights and claims.

SECTION 6. Term Loan Documents and ABL Documents.

(a) Each Loan Party and the Term Loan Representative, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the Term Loan Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the ABL Representative that would (i) contravene the terms of this Agreement; (ii) shorten the maturity date of any of the Term Loan Obligations to a date earlier than the maturity date of the ABL Obligations; (iii) increase the

32

date hereof in a manner that would make such calculations or limitations more favorable to the Loan Parties than those in effect on the date of this Agreement (provided that, the foregoing will not prohibit or be construed to limit the right of the ABL Representative to amend or otherwise modify the definitions of “Borrowing Cap” and “Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts” in a manner that would modify the commitments to extend credit under the ABL Agreement or otherwise modify the commitments to extend credit under the ABL Agreement) or (viii) subject to any applicable grace periods contained therein, waive the delivery of or extend the date on which Borrowing Base Certificates are required to be delivered by the Borrowers, provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the ABL Representative to require more frequent reporting.

The Term Loan Representative, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby agrees that the granting of access by the ABL Representative to IntraLinks or another similar secure, encrypted and password-protected electronic system customarily used for distribution of such Collateral Due Diligence to ABL Creditors shall satisfy the ABL Representative’s obligations under this Section 10.17 (to the extent Collateral Due Diligence is made available therein). The Loan Parties irrevocably, by their execution of the acknowledgment hereto, authorize each Representative to provide the other Representative with copies of any Collateral Due Diligence.
