Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any other applicable law or the Second Lien Loan Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that:

     (a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations; and

     (b) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any First Lien

Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrowers, any other Grantor or any other Person.

          2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders in the First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Second Lien Claimholders in the Second Lien Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1.

          2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that the Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to:

     (a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the First Lien Obligations; or

     (b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Second Lien Obligations.

To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Lien Collateral Agent and/or the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to it or any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

          2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

     (a) upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents; and

     (b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees of the First Lien Obligations

and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(d), shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder.

Enforcement.

          3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

          (a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders:

     (1) are prohibited from exercising, and will not exercise or seek to exercise, any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder is a party) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (A) the date on which the Second Lien Collateral Agent declares the existence of any Event of Default under any Second Lien Loan Documents and demands the repayment of all the principal amount of any Second Lien Obligations; and (B) the date on which the First Lien Collateral Agent receives notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such declaration of an Event of Default, (the “Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent);

     (2) are prohibited from contesting, protesting or objecting, and will not contest, protest or object, to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Loan Documents or otherwise; and

     (3) subject to their rights under clause (1) above and except as may be permitted in Section 3.1(c), will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien

Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral;

provided, that, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3) above, the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second Lien Claimholders shall attach to any proceeds resulting from actions taken by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder in accordance with this Agreement after application of such proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

          (b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, subject to Section 3.1(a)(l), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder; provided, that the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall remain on the proceeds of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder may:

     (1) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor;

     (2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;

     (3) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

     (4) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under

either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

     (5) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral; and

     (6) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1).

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.1 (a) and (c) and Section 6.3(b):

     (1) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it and the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

     (2) the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders; and

     (3) the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien

Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Credit Documents.

          (e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrowers or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents and applicable law; provided that in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of 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 First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

          (f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

SECTION 4.

Payments.

          4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders, shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent any Collateral and proceeds of Collateral held by it 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 Second Lien Collateral Agent to the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second Lien Collateral Documents.

connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any such Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

SECTION 5.

Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

          (a) If in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases any Grantor from its portion of the First Lien Obligations in connection with the sale of the stock, or substantially all the assets, of such Grantor, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and such Grantor’s portion of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

          (b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of both the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1), the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Grantor from its portion of the First Lien Obligations in connection with the sale of the stock, or substantially all the assets, of such Grantor, in each case other than (1) in connection with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or (2) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and such Grantor’s portion of the Second Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

          (c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such holder or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

          (d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (1) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Grantor from its portion of the First Lien Obligations and any such Liens or obligations are later reinstated or (2) obtain any new Liens or additional obligations from any Grantor, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the Second Lien Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement, and shall obtain such additional obligations, as the case may be.

          (e) In the event that the principal amount of funded First Lien Obligations plus the aggregate face amount of letters of credit, if any, issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement plus the aggregate principal amount of unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement (collectively, the “First Lien Obligations Amount”), at any date of determination no longer constitute at least 15% of the sum of (i) the First Lien Obligations Amount and (ii) the principal amount of funded Second Lien Obligations (collectively, the “Second Lien Obligations Amount”), then any agreement provided for in Section 5.1 (a) and (b) above (except for releases given in connection with a Disposition permitted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents) shall require the consent of First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders representing in the aggregate more than 50% of the sum of (i) the First Lien Obligations Amount and (ii) the Second Lien Obligations Amount.

          5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the First Lien Loan Documents, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders 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 Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral and to the extent required by the First Lien Loan Documents shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second Lien Collateral Documents, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Collateral Documents and then, to the extent no Second Lien 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 Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

          5.3 Amendments to First Lien Loan Documents and Second Lien Loan Documents. (a) The First Lien Loan Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement and any such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing shall not, without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent:

     (1) result in the aggregate principal amount of loans and commitments of First Lien Lenders to make loans or issue letters of credit under the First Lien Credit Agreement, in each case, other than loans constituting or commitments to make loans or issue letters of credit that would constitute Excluded Incremental Indebtedness, to exceed the Cap Amount;

     (2) make any amendment to or other modification of Section 2.14(a)(iii)(B) of the First Lien Credit Agreement or the related definitions, the direct or indirect effect of which would be to increase the possible amount of Excluded Incremental Indebtedness that could be incurred thereunder; or

     (3) contravene the provisions of this Agreement.

          (b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Second Lien Loan Document may be Refinanced, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such Refinancing, amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Lien Loan Document, would:

     (1) contravene the provisions of this Agreement, or

     (2) make any amendment to or other modification of Section 2.14(a)(iii) of the Second Lien Credit Agreement or the related definitions, the direct or indirect effect of which would be to increase the possible amount of Second Lien Incremental Indebtedness that could be incurred thereunder.

          (c) The Borrowers and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agree that each Second Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of May 31, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among IPC Systems, Inc., TSW Netherlands Holdings C.V., Trader Acquisition Corp, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as First Lien Collateral Agent, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Credit Partners L.P., as Second Lien Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, the Borrowers and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agree that each Second Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the lien subordination of such Second Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral.

          (d) In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, the Borrowers or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Borrowers or any other Grantor, provided, that:

     (1) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of:

     (A) removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien i s permitted or required by Section 5.1 of this Agreement and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations;

     (B) imposing duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent without its consent;

     (C) permitting other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents or Section 6; or

     (D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the First Lien Claimholders; and

     (2) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

          5.4 Bailee for Perfection, (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.

          (b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

          (c) The First Lien Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien Claimholders, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.

          (d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the U.S. Borrower to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). Upon the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in connection with the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

          (e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or other Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other First Lien Credit Documents as if the Liens of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Claimholders did not exist.

          5.5 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, any Borrower thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted by the Second Lien Loan Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice (as defined below) is delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of such First Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Loan Document shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that any Borrower has entered into a new First Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent; such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the applicable Borrower or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

          5.6 Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the First Lien Claimholders’ remedies, the First Lien Claimholders agree that at any time following an acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, the First Lien Claimholders will offer the Second Lien Claimholders the option to purchase the entire aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement) at par plus accrued interest (without regard to any prepayment penalty or premium), without warranty or representation or recourse, on a pro rata basis across all First Lien Claimholders. The Second Lien Claimholders shall irrevocably accept or reject such offer within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt thereof and the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter. If the Second Lien Claimholders accept such offer, ti shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent. If the Second Lien Claimholders reject such offer (or do not so irrevocably accept such offer within the required timeframe), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.6 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents and this Agreement.

SECTION 6.

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

          6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the applicable Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP Financing”) then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing; provided, that (a) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding such Cash Collateral use or such DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests, (b) such DIP Financing does not compel the applicable Borrower to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document and (c) the documentation for such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral use does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under such documentation. To the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with a DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (a) through (c) above, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).

          6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.

          6.3 Adequate Protection.

          (a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

     (1) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection; or

     (2) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or LiquidationProceeding:

     (1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and

     (2) in the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing provided by the First Lien Claimholders (and all obligations relating thereto) and t o any other Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or LiquidationProceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

          6.4 No Waiver by First Lien Claimholders. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.

          6.5 Reinstatement. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with

respect to all such recovered amounts. 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.

          6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

          6.7 Post-Petition Interest. (a) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

          (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance 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 Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Collateral).

          6.8 Waiver Related to Elections Under Section 1111. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

          6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that:

     (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

     (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and

must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation 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 First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive (and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders shall not object to such entitlement), in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral). The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the foregoing sentence (including with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.

SECTION 7.
