SECTION 2 Lien Priorities.

2.1 Relative Priorities. 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 Documents or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect or lapse in perfection of, or avoidance as a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, 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 and prior in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations;

(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 and prior in all respects to any Lien 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 Company, any other Grantor or any other Person; and

(c) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Excess First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent, 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 junior and subordinate in all respects to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations up to but not exceeding the Second Lien Cap Amount (but only with respect to such excess amounts). All Liens securing Excess First Lien Obligations will be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Excess Second Lien Obligations and all Liens securing any Excess Second Lien Obligations will be junior and subordinate in all respects and prior to any Lien securing Excess First Lien Obligations.

The subordination of Liens securing Second Lien Obligations to Liens securing First Lien Obligations in this Agreement affects only the relative priority of those Liens, and does not subordinate the Second Lien Obligations in right of payment to the First Lien

Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the entitlement of any Second Lien Claimholder to receive and retain required payments of interest, principal, and other amounts in respect of a Second Lien Obligation unless the receipt (i) is expressly prohibited by, or results from the Second Lien Claimholder’s breach of, this Agreement or (ii) is 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 and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens; No Marshalling. 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) directly or indirectly contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity, perfection, extent or enforceability of a Lien held, or purported to be 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. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder will assert (and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder hereby waives any right to assert) any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.

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 the Company or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to:

(a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such property to secure the First Lien Obligations, the parties hereto agreeing that any such Lien shall be subject to Section 2.1; or

(b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any property to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such property to secure the Second Lien Obligations; provided that this provision will not be violated if the Second Lien Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien and declines in writing to accept a Lien on such property.

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 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 Persons obligated under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Documents; and

(b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(c) and the proviso to Section 2.3(b), 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.

Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 2.3 and 2.4, (x) to the extent a second lien pledge of the Equity Interests of any Foreign Subsidiary is prohibited or otherwise unenforceable under local law of any jurisdiction outside the United States but a first lien pledge thereof is not so prohibited or otherwise unenforceable, the First Lien Loan Documents may include a pledge of such Equity Interests and the Second Lien Documents may not include a pledge of such Equity Interests and, except to the extent held as a bailee or custodian or agent by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under Section 5.5, the Second Lien Collateral shall not include the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary and (y) it is understood by each of the parties that to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtains a Lien on an asset (of a type that is not included in the types of assets included in the Collateral as of the date hereof or which would not constitute Collateral without a grant of a security interest or Lien separate from the First Lien Loan Documents or Second Lien Documents, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior to obtaining such Lien on such asset) which the other party to this Agreement elects in writing not to obtain after receiving prior written notice thereof, the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations will not be identical, and the provisions of the documents, agreements and instruments evidencing such Liens also will not be substantively similar, and any such difference in the scope or extent of perfection with respect to the Collateral resulting therefrom are hereby expressly permitted by this Agreement.

2.5 Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations.

As a condition to either the Company or any other Grantor incurring any Pari Passu Indebtedness, (i) a Supplement to the Intercreditor Agreement, identifying the proposed Indebtedness, the authorized representative of the lenders or holders providing such Indebtedness (the “Pari Passu Agent”) and the documents in connection with such Indebtedness, shall be executed and delivered and (ii) the Pari Passu Agent shall enter into an Accession Agreement, pursuant to which such authorized representative shall agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Second Lien Security Documents.

SECTION 3 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 the Company or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders:

(i) will not commence or maintain, or seek to commence or maintain, any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral; provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may commence an Enforcement Action or otherwise 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: (i) the date on which the Second Lien Collateral Agent declared the existence of any “Event of Default” under any Second Lien Documents and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Second Lien Obligations and (ii) the date on which the First Lien Collateral Agent received notice from the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such declarations of an “Event of Default” (the “Standstill Period”) (provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have given the First Lien Collateral Agent at least 15 days written notice prior to such Enforcement Action, which notice may be given during the pendency of the applicable Standstill Period); provided, further, 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 an Enforcement Action or other exercise of their rights or remedies (or shall have sought or requested relief or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof) in each case 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);

(ii) 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;

(iii) subject to their rights under clause (a)(i) above, 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, in each case so long as any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with the UCC and other applicable law, subject to the relative priorities described herein;

(iv) will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of any Second Lien Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or give any Second Lien Claimholder any preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Claimholders; and

(v) will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, injunction or otherwise, with respect to, and no First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent shall be liable to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such First Lien Claimholder or First Lien Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral or pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, subject to Section 3.1(a)(i), the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain an Enforcement Action or otherwise enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to “credit bid” their debt, except that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the “credit bid” rights set forth in Section 3.1(c)(vi)), subject to Section 5.1, to 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 any proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with the UCC and other applicable law, subject to the relative priorities described herein. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise 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 in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Claimholder. 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.

(i) 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 the Company or any other Grantor;

(ii) 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;

(iii) 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;

(iv) vote on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, 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; provided that no filing of any claim or vote, or pleading relating to such claim or vote, to accept or reject a disclosure statement, plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, or any other document, agreement or proposal similar to the foregoing by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder may be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement;

(v) 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)(i); and

(vi) bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, or any sale of Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless the cash proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

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 and recoupment) with respect to any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except in connection with any foreclosure expressly permitted by Section 3.1(a)(i) to the extent the Second Lien Collateral Agent and Second Lien Claimholders are permitted to retain the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.2 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 Security 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):

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

(ii) 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

(iii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Security Documents or any other Second Lien 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 Loan Documents.

(e) To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company 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 Documents and applicable law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor); 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) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), 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, premium, fees 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 and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

3.2 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance. If any Second Lien Claimholder, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fails to take any action required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption

and admission by such Second Lien Claimholder that relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the First Lien Claimholders, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder that (i) the First Lien Claimholders’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. The First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders, as the case may be. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders or the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders of any right to seek damages from any Person in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

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 the Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof, Restricted Assets or any proceeds thereof, or Sale Proceeds received in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders, shall be applied: first, by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations that are not Excess First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents; second, to the payment by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the Second Lien Obligations that are not Excess Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Lien Documents; third, by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the payment of any Excess First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents; fourth, by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the payment of any Excess Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Lien Documents; and fifth, to the applicable Grantor or as otherwise required by applicable law; provided that any non-cash Collateral or non-cash proceeds will be held by the First Lien Collateral Agent as Collateral unless the failure to apply such amounts would be commercially unreasonable. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent any Collateral and proceeds thereof, Restricted Assets and proceeds thereof and all Sale Proceeds held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, 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 Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that no amount of any Sale Proceeds will in any event be allocated to any Restricted Assets, and none of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Claimholders will, in any forum (including in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) assert that any amount of any Sale Proceeds should be allocated to any Restricted Assets.

4.2 Payments Over.

(a) 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 the Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof, Restricted Assets or proceeds thereof and all Sale Proceeds (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3 and any assets or proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated) received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of any right or remedy relating to the Collateral or the Restricted Assets in contravention of this Agreement in all cases 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.

(b) 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 the Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or any proceeds thereof, Restricted Assets or any proceeds thereof and all Sale Proceeds (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3 and any assets or proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated) received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of any right or remedy relating to the Collateral or the Restricted Assets not 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; provided that, with respect to Collateral, this Section 4.2(b) shall only be applicable if the exercise of such right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder has the effect of discharging the Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. 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.

(c) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders shall receive any distribution of money or other property in respect of the Collateral, Restricted Assets or Sale Proceeds (including any assets or proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated), such money or other property 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. Any Lien received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in respect of any of the Second Lien Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

4.3 Certain Agreements with respect to Unenforceable Collateral.

In addition to the rights and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders set forth herein, in the event that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that Liens of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders encumbering any Collateral are not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders agree that, any distribution or recovery they may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred) 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 without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Second Lien Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct until such time as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. 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.

SECTION 5 Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) If in connection with any Enforcement Action by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral, in each case, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, 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, 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 shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. If in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of rights and remedies by the First Lien Collateral Agent, in each case, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the equity interests of any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of and the First Lien Collateral Agent releases its Lien on the property of such Person then the Liens of Second Lien Collateral Agent with respect to the property of such Person will be automatically released to the same extent as the Liens of the First Lien Collateral Agent. 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 such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to effectively confirm the foregoing releases.

(b) If in connection with any Disposition permitted under the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents and not expressly prohibited under the terms of the Second Lien Documents (other than in connection with an Enforcement Action or other exercise of the First

Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a)), 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, other than (i) in connection with, or following, the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any “Event of Default” under the Second Lien Notes Indenture, 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 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 such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably 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. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral and any such Liens are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens, 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.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Loan Documents, 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 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 Loan Documents (including 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 Documents, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Security 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 Claimholders 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 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 that the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Second Lien Collateral Agent 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 (as directed, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, by the Instructing Group):

(i) increase the sum of (A) the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness for borrowed money outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement (including, if any, any undrawn portion of any commitment under the First Lien Credit Agreement) and (B) the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued under the First Lien Credit Agreement and not reimbursed, in excess of the First Lien Cap Amount; or

(ii) add to the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations other than as specifically provided by this Agreement;

provided, however, that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and protections of the applicable Second Lien Documents when consenting to an amendment under this Section 5.3.

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

(i) increase the then outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Notes, in excess of the Second Lien Cap Amount;

(ii) increase the interest rate by more than 300 basis points (excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate);

(iii) accelerate any dates upon which a scheduled payment of principal or interest is due, or otherwise decreases the weighted average life to maturity;

(iv) modify (or have the effect of a modification of) the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Second Lien Notes Indenture in a manner materially adverse to the lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement;

(v) increase the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional material rights of the Second Lien Noteholders (or a representative on their behalf) which would be materially adverse to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders; or

(vi) add to the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations other than as specifically provided by this Agreement.

(c) 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 Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent in a manner not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.3, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Security 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 Company or any other Grantor, provided that:

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

(A) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1 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;

(D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the First Lien Claimholders (other than by virtue of their relative priority and the rights and obligations hereunder); and

(ii) 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 Legends. The Company agrees that each Second Lien Security Document and each First Lien Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved, in the case of the Second Lien Security Documents, by the First Lien Collateral Agent, and in the case of the First Lien Security Documents, by the Second Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the [Second Lien Collateral Agent/First Lien Collateral Agent] pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by such

Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Company, Jefferies Finance LLC, as First Lien Collateral Agent and The Bank of New York Mellon, 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 Company agrees that each mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent, in the case of the Second Lien Security Documents, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, in the case of the First Lien Security Documents, may reasonably request to reflect the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement.

5.5 Gratuitous Bailee/Agent 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 gratuitous bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 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 Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(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, any security interest granted in any such Pledged Collateral is valid or in effect or otherwise perfected or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.5 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) None of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholder shall have by reason of the First Lien Security Documents, the Second Lien Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Collateral

Agent’s role under this Section 5.5 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, may differ and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall be fully entitled to act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders.

(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Loan Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse to, and without any representation or warranty by, the First Lien Collateral Agent), first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding and second, to the Company only to the extent no First Lien Obligations, Excess First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Obligations or Excess Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (as directed, in the case of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, by the Instructing Group) at the expense of the Company in connection with the Second Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority security interest in the Collateral. The Second Lien Collateral Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that any 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 5.5(d). The duties or responsibilities of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5(d) will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and/or agent for perfection in accordance with this Section 5.5(d) and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations first to the First Lien Collateral Agent and second, to the Company only to the extent no First Lien Obligations, Excess First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Obligations or Excess Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding.

(e) To the extent that any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) comes into the possession or under the control of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, such Collateral (and proceeds thereof) (whether arising out of the action taken to enforce, collect or realize upon any Collateral or otherwise) shall be promptly delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent without recourse and without any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, together with any necessary endorsements. Until such time as such Collateral (or proceeds thereof) shall have been so delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or other Second Lien Claimholder shall hold same as agent and bailee for the First Lien Collateral Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest (improving the priority thereof) granted in such Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents.

5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation,

which Refinancing is permitted by the Second Lien 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 is delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the 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 Documents 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 the Company 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 Company 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 Security Documents and this Agreement.

5.7 Purchase Right.

(a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the First Lien Claimholders’ remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents, this Agreement, at law or in equity or otherwise, the First Lien Claimholders agree that at any time following: (i) an acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) a payment default in respect of principal or interest under the First Lien Credit Agreement that has not been cured or waived by the First Lien Claimholders within 60 days of the occurrence thereof or (iii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, will offer the Second Lien Claimholders, including the Second Lien Noteholders, by written notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the option to purchase the entire aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments under the First Lien Credit Agreement) at the Purchase Price without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.7(c). The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of: (1) the principal amount of all loans, advances or similar extensions of credit included in the First Lien Obligations (including an amount in cash equal to 103% of the undrawn amount of outstanding letters of credit), and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (but excluding any prepayment penalties or premiums), (2) the net aggregate amount then owing to First Lien Lender Counterparties under First Lien Hedging Agreements, including all amounts owing to the First Lien Lender Counterparties as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts owed to the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents on the date of purchase to the extent not allocable to Excess First Lien Obligations.

(b) The Second Lien Claimholders opting to purchase the First Lien Obligations shall irrevocably accept such offer within twenty (20) Business Days of the receipt thereof and shall agree to consummate the purchase no later than the fortieth (40^th) Business Day after the receipt of such offer, subject to any required approval of any court or other Governmental Authority then in effect, if any. Such sale shall be pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, without the prior written consent of the Company or any other Grantor. 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 5.7 and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents and this Agreement. Each First Lien Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7. The Purchase Price shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the First Lien Collateral Agent for the ratable account of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders in New York, New York, as the First Lien Collateral Agent may designate in writing to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Second Lien Noteholders that have exercised such option to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by such Second Lien Noteholders to the bank account designated by the First Lien Collateral Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time on such Business Day.

(c) The Second Lien Claimholders agree that the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations under this Section 5.7 will be expressly made without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the First Lien Claimholders, except that the First Lien Claimholders shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Second Lien Claimholders that on the date of the purchase, immediately before giving effect to such purchase:

(i) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the First Lien Obligations, and the fees and expenses thereof owed to the respective First Lien Claimholders, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations; and

(ii) each First Lien Claimholder owns the First Lien Obligations purported to be owned by it free and clear of any Liens (other than participation interests not prohibited by the First Lien Credit Agreement, in which case the Purchase Price will be appropriately adjusted so that the Second Lien Claimholders do not pay amounts represented by participation interests).

(d) Any Excess First Lien Obligations will, after the closing of the purchase of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with this Section 5.7 remain Excess First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 6 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company 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 Company 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 (“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 or contest (or join with or support any third party in objecting or contesting), and each Second Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have consented to, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent) and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, 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); provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Obligations constituting Indebtedness for borrowed money plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and not reimbursed under the First Lien Credit Agreement does not exceed the sum of (I) the First Lien Cap Amount and (II) $50,000,000 and (ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Second Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not provide or seek (or support any other Person that is not a First Lien Claimholder seeking) to provide DIP Financing to the Company or any other Grantor so long as the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder shall desire to provide such DIP Financing; provided, however, in the event that no First Lien Claimholder desires to provide a DIP Financing, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other First Lien Claimholder, reserves the right to object to the provision of any DIP Financing by any Second Lien Claimholder.

(b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders agrees that it will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and it will raise no objection or oppose, a motion to Dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to such Disposition. The Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such Disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale,

liquidation or disposition if the requisite First Lien Claimholders have consented to such (i) retention of professionals and bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets and (ii) the Disposition of such assets, in which event the Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have consented to the Disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and such motion does not impair the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that (i) the First Lien Cap Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale or other disposition which are used to pay the principal or face amount of the First Lien Obligations and (ii) any proceeds in excess of those necessary for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the Second Lien Collateral Agent on its behalf and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that (i) without the consent of the First Lien Claimholders, none of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or the trustee on behalf of any of them shall, for any purpose during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, support, endorse, propose or submit, whether directly or indirectly, any valuation of any of the Grantors or their respective assets that allocates or ascribes any value whatsoever to any of the Restricted Assets and (ii) without the consent of the First Lien Claimholders, none of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee on behalf of any of them shall for any purpose during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise challenge, dispute or object to any valuation of the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or their respective assets, or otherwise take any position with respect to such valuation, that is proposed, supported or otherwise arises in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, on grounds that such valuation does not allocate or ascribe adequate or appropriate value to any of the Restricted Assets.

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: (i) 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 or the Restricted Assets, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent for relief from such stay.

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):

(i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(ii) 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 Liquidation Proceeding:

(i) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any use of Cash Collateral 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 use of Cash Collateral 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

(ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their respective rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; and (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders. If any Second Lien Claimholder receives post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations (subject, in the case of principal outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents and face amounts of letters of credit, to the First Lien Cap Amount) upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Second Lien Claimholders shall pay over to the First Lien Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Second Lien Claimholders and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations (subject, in the case of principal outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Loan Documents and face amounts of letters of credit, to the First Lien Cap Amount); provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the applicable Second Lien Claimholders in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Second Lien Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).

(c) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Second Lien Collateral Agent at least fifteen (15) days in advance of such hearing.

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(c), 3.1(d) and 6.7(b), 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 Documents or otherwise.

6.5 Avoidance Issues. 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 the Company 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 on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not the have occurred for all purposes hereunder. 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, arrangement, compromise or liquidation 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 to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien, 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 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 value of the First Lien Obligations).

6.8 Waiver. 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 so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

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 Security Documents and the Second Lien Security 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 (and by the acceptance of the benefits hereof, each of the First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders 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, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) 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, with the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral or proceeds of

Collateral 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 claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders).

6.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.11 No Surcharge of Collateral.

This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Grantor constituting First Lien Obligations in reliance hereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(a) with respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, the date of Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.5; and

(b) with respect to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations under the Second Lien Notes Indenture terminate if there are no other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (2) if there are other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second Lien Obligations terminate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred (subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.5) and no Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding but there remains outstanding Excess First Lien Obligations or Excess Second Lien Obligations, (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until such time as all Excess First Lien Obligations and all Excess Second Lien Obligations have been paid in full in cash, (ii) the Excess First Lien Obligations shall be treated for all purposes hereunder as First Lien Obligations and (iii) the Excess Second Lien Obligations shall be treated for all purposes hereunder as Second Lien Obligations.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time; provided that (x) the First Lien Collateral Agent may, without the written consent of any other First Lien Claimholder, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien

Claimholder, agree to modifications of this Agreement for the purpose of securing additional extensions of credit (including pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other First Lien Loan Document or any Refinancing or extension thereof) and adding new creditors as “First Lien Claimholders” hereunder, so long as such extensions (and resulting additions) do not otherwise give rise to a violation of the express terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or any other First Lien Loan Document or the Second Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second Lien Document and (y) additional Grantors may be added as parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.17. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly and adversely affected.
