(viii) bid for or purchase any Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party, or any sale of such Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided, however, that such bid may only include a “credit bid” in respect of any Junior Lien Debt to the extent that, and so long as, the First Lien Secured Parties receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) after giving effect thereto; and

(ix) take or otherwise exercise any enforcement action after the expiration of the Standstill Period to the extent specifically permitted in the second proviso to Section 3.02(a) or with the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent or as required by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 3.03 Insurance.

(a) Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) has occurred (but subject to the terms of Section 3.02, including the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties following expiration of any applicable Standstill Period), the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, to adjust and settle claims in respect of Collateral under any insurance policy 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 (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payment with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit). If the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of the foregoing, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, if by virtue of being named as an additional insured or loss payee of any insurance policy of any Grantor covering any of the Collateral, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party has the right to adjust or settle any claim under any such insurance policy, then unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First

Lien Obligations) has occurred, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any such Junior Lien Secured Party shall follow the instructions of the First Lien Collateral Agent or of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents to the extent the First Lien Documents grant such Grantors the right to adjust or settle such claims, with respect to such adjustment or settlement (subject to the terms of Section 3.02, including the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties following expiration of any applicable Standstill Period).

(b) Following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) but prior to the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Junior Lien Documents, to adjust and settle claims in respect of Collateral under any insurance policy 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 Junior Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Junior Lien Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payment with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Collateral shall be paid to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the Junior Lien Documents and, after the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations has occurred, to the owner of the subject property, to such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 3.04 Notification of Release of Collateral. The Company shall give prompt written notice to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the other Secured Debt Representatives of the Disposition of, and release of the Lien on, any Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the subject Collateral, the parties involved in such Disposition or release, the place, time, manner and method thereof and the consideration, if any, received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or release.

Section 3.05 No Interference; Payment Over.

(a) No Interference. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that, whether or not an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, each Junior Lien Secured Party:

(i) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to make any Junior Lien that such Junior Lien Secured Party has on the Collateral pari passu with, or to give such Junior Lien Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, any Lien that the First Lien Collateral Agent holds on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties secured by any Collateral or any part thereof;

(ii) will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any First Lien Obligation or First Lien Document, or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien held by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by the provisions of this Agreement;

(iii) will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any foreclosure or enforcement action or exercise of rights and remedies related to the sale, transfer or other Disposition of the Collateral by any First Lien Secured Party or the First Lien Collateral Agent acting on their behalf in an enforcement action;

(iv) will have no right to (A) direct the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral or (B) consent to the exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Collateral;

(v) will not institute any suit or assert in any suit or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any claim against the First Lien Collateral Agent or other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from, or seeking other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to, and neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party will be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Lien Collateral Agent or other First Lien Secured Party with respect to any First Lien Collateral;

(vi) will not seek, and hereby waives, any right to have any Collateral or any part thereof marshalled upon any foreclosure or other Disposition of such Collateral;

(vii) will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement;

(viii) will not object to, and hereby waives any right to object to, forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party; and

(ix) will not assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any similar right a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

(b) Payment Over. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby agrees that if any Junior Lien Secured Party obtains possession of any Collateral or realizes any proceeds or payment in respect of any Collateral, pursuant to the exercise of remedies with respect to any of the Collateral under any Collateral Document or by the exercise of any right available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, to the extent permitted hereunder, at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) that are secured, or intended to be secured, by such Collateral, then it will hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties and transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the First Lien Collateral Agent as promptly as practicable. Furthermore, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, promptly send written notice to the First Lien Collateral Agent upon receipt of such Collateral, proceeds or payment by any Junior Lien Secured Party and within five days after receipt by the First Lien Collateral Agent of such written notice, shall deliver such Collateral, proceeds or payment to the First Lien Collateral Agent in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsement, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsement as agent for the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at any time, it or any other Junior Lien Secured Party obtains written notice that all or part of any payment with respect to any First Lien Obligation not constituting Excess First Lien Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, it will promptly pay over to the First Lien Collateral Agent any payment received by it or such other Junior Lien Secured Party and then in or its or such other Junior Lien Secured Party’s possession or under its or such other Junior Lien Secured Party’s direct control in respect of any such First Lien Collateral and shall promptly turn any such Collateral then held by it or such other Junior Lien Secured Party over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement will be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of First Lien

Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations). All Junior Liens will remain attached to, and enforceable against, all proceeds so held or remitted, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 3.05(b) shall not apply to any proceeds of Collateral realized in a transaction not prohibited by the First Lien Documents and as to which the possession or receipt thereof by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party is otherwise permitted by the First Lien Documents. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Junior Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 3.05(b) and taking any action and executing any instrument that the First Lien Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.05(b), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 3.06 Purchase Option.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or at any time after (i) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) the acceleration of the First Lien Obligations, (iii) the exercise or undertaking of any right of set-off in respect of any Collateral by any First Lien Secured Party under any First Lien Document, (iv) the 60th day after any event of default based on non-payment of principal under any First Lien Document that has not been waived by the applicable First Lien Secured Parties or (v) the delivery of any Section 363 Notice or the occurrence of any Section 363 Event, each of the holders of the Junior Lien Debt and each of their respective designated Affiliates (the “Junior Lien Purchasers”) will have the several right, at their respective sole option, election and expense (but will not be obligated), within 60 days following any such event set forth in clauses (i) through (v) above and upon prior written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to applicable First Lien Representative, to purchase from the First Lien Secured Parties (A) all (but not less than all) First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and (B) if applicable, all loans and letters of credit (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing that are outstanding on the date of such purchase. Promptly following the receipt of such notice, the holder of First Lien Obligations will deliver to the Junior Lien Purchasers a statement of the amount of First Lien Debt, other First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and DIP Financing (including letters of credit, interest, fees, expenses and other obligations in respect of such DIP Financing) provided by such holders of the First Lien Obligations, if any, then outstanding and the amount of the cash collateral requested to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.06(b)(ii) below. The right to purchase provided for in this Section 3.06 will expire unless, within 10 Business Days after the receipt by the Junior Lien Purchasers of such statement from the applicable holders of First Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien Purchasers deliver to such holders of First Lien Obligations an irrevocable commitment to purchase (A) all (but not less than all) of the First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and (B) if applicable, all loans and letters of credit (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the holders of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing and to otherwise complete such purchase on the terms set forth under this Section 3.06. Any such Purchase Notice shall (i) designate a purchase date, (ii) set forth the identities (including legal names) of each of the Junior Lien Purchasers together with their respective percentages of the First Lien Obligations, unfunded commitments and, if applicable, DIP Financing Obligations, to be purchased by such Persons, (iii) identify a replacement or successor First Lien Collateral Agent that the First Lien Secured Parties (after giving effect to the purchase) appoint pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, and (iv) state that such notice is deemed to be an irrevocable offer to the First Lien Secured Parties to purchase such First Lien Obligations on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely in all respects upon the information set forth in the Purchase Notice, including the identities (and legal names) of the Junior Lien Purchasers.

(b) On the date specified by the Junior Lien Purchasers in such irrevocable commitment (which shall not be less than five Business Days, nor more than 20 Business Days after the receipt by the applicable holders of First Lien Obligations of such irrevocable commitment), the holders of First Lien Obligations shall sell to the Junior Lien Purchasers (i) all (but not less than all) First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments but other than any First Lien Obligations constituting Excess First Lien Obligations) and (ii) if applicable, all loans and letters of credit (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the holders of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing that are outstanding on the date of such sale, subject to any required approval of any Governmental Authority then in effect, if any, and only if on the date of such sale, the applicable holders of First Lien Obligations receive the following:

(i) Payment in full in cash, as the purchase price for all First Lien Obligations sold in such sale, of an amount equal to the full amount of (i) all First Lien Obligations (other than outstanding letters of credit as referred to in clause (ii) below) and (ii) if applicable, all loans and letters of credit (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any of the holders of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing then outstanding (including principal, interest, fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, but excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim or demand for payment has been made at or prior to such time); provided, however, that in the case of obligations in respect of Hedging Obligations that constitute First Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien Purchasers shall cause the applicable agreements governing such Hedging Obligations to be assigned and novated or, if such agreements have been terminated, such purchase price shall include an amount equal to the sum of any unpaid amounts then due in respect of such Hedging Obligations, calculated using the market quotation method and after giving effect to any netting arrangements;

(ii) a cash collateral deposit in such amount as the applicable First Lien Secured Parties that hold letters of credit determine is reasonably necessary to secure the payment of any outstanding letter of credit constituting First Lien Obligations that may become due and payable after such sale (but not in any event in an amount greater than 105% of the amount then reasonably estimated to be the aggregate outstanding amount of such letter of credit at such time), which cash collateral shall be (A) held by such applicable First Lien Secured Party as security solely to reimburse the issuers of such letter of credit that becomes due and payable after such sale and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with such letters of credit and (B) returned to the Junior Lien Purchasers (except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or any order of any court or other Governmental Authority) promptly after the expiration or termination from time to time of all payment contingencies affecting such letters of credit; and

(iii) any agreement, document or instrument which the applicable First Lien Secured Parties may reasonably request pursuant to which the Junior Lien Purchasers in such sale expressly assume and adopt all of the Obligations of the holders of the First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Documents and in connection with loans (and related obligations, including interest, fees and expenses) provided by any holder of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing on and after the date of the purchase and sale and the Junior Lien Representative (or any other representative appointed by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Junior Lien Obligations owned by the Junior Lien Purchasers) becomes a successor agent thereunder.

(c) Such purchase of the First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and any loan provided by any holder of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing shall be made on a pro rata basis among the Junior Lien Purchasers giving notice to the applicable First Lien Representative of their interest to exercise the purchase option hereunder according to each such Junior Lien Purchaser’s portion of the Junior Lien Obligations outstanding on the date of purchase or such portion as such Junior Lien Purchasers may otherwise agree. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be

remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the applicable First Lien Secured Parties as the applicable First Lien Secured Parties may designate in writing to the Junior Lien Purchasers for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such sale occurs if the amounts so paid by the Junior Lien Purchasers to the bank account designated by the First Lien Secured Parties are received in such bank account prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Junior Lien Purchasers to the bank account designated by the applicable First Lien Secured Parties are received in such bank account later than 12:00 noon, New York City time.

(d) Such sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the applicable First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured Party as to the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to the applicable First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured Party, except that the applicable holders of First Lien Obligations shall represent and warrant severally as to the First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and any loan and letter of credit provided by any holder of First Lien Obligations in connection with a DIP Financing then owing to it that (i) such holders of the First Lien Obligations own such First Lien Obligations (including unfunded commitments) and any loan and letter of credit provided by any of the First Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing and (ii) such holders of the First Lien Obligations have the necessary corporate or other governing authority to assign such interests.

(e) After such sale becomes effective, any outstanding letter of credit will remain enforceable against the issuers thereof and will remain secured by the First Liens upon the Collateral in accordance with the applicable provisions of the First Lien Collateral Documents as in effect at the time of such sale, and the issuers of letters of credit will remain entitled to the benefit of the First Liens upon the Collateral and sharing rights in the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of the First Lien Collateral Documents as in effect at the time of such sale, as fully as if the sale of the First Lien Obligations had not been made, but only the Person or successor agent to whom the First Liens are transferred in such sale will have the right to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce the First Liens and only the Junior Lien Purchasers in the sale will have the right to direct such Person or successor as to matters relating to the foreclosure or other enforcement of the First Liens.

(f) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Junior Lien Purchasers pursuant to this Section 3.06 (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant First Lien Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such First Lien Documents) for purposes of all First Lien Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties shall retain any and all rights with respect to indemnification, reimbursement and other similar contingent obligations under the Collateral Agency Agreement, the First Lien Documents or any agreement governing Hedging Obligations or Cash Management Obligations that are expressly stated to survive the termination of such applicable document, contract or agreement.

ARTICLE IV

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 4.01 Release of Liens; Automatic Release of Junior Liens.

(a) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that, if the First Lien Collateral Agent or the requisite First Lien Secured Parties under the

First Lien Documents release the First Lien on any Collateral, the Junior Lien on such Collateral shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if (i) such release is permitted under the Junior Lien Documents, (ii) such release is effected in connection with the First Lien Collateral Agent’s foreclosure upon, or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to, such Collateral, or (iii) such release is effected in connection with a sale or other Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Secured Parties under the First Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition of such Collateral; provided, however, that, in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Junior Liens on such Collateral securing the Junior Lien Obligations shall remain in place (and shall remain subject and subordinate to all First Liens securing First Lien Obligations, subject to the First Lien Cap, and all Junior Liens securing Junior Lien Obligations) with respect to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other Disposition of Collateral not paid to the First Lien Secured Parties or that remain after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations).

(b) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Collateral provided for in this Section 4.01 and hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Junior Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.01 and taking any action and executing any instrument that may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.01, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 4.02 Certain Agreements With Respect to Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the Company or any other Grantor or any of their respective subsidiaries or any action taken in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, including any attempted rejection under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. All references in this Agreement to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any other Grantor will include such Person or Persons as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. For the purposes of this Section 4.02, unless otherwise provided herein, clauses Section 4.02(b) through and including Section 4.02(o) shall be in full force and effect prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations).

(b) If the Company or any other Grantor or any of their respective subsidiaries shall become subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and, as debtor(s)-in-possession, or if any receiver or trustee for such Person or Persons moves for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and/or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither it nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party will raise any objection to, contest or oppose, and each Junior Lien Secured Party will waive any claim such Person may now or hereafter have related to or in connection with, any such financing or to the Liens on the Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or any use, sale or lease of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral or to any grant of administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, unless (i) the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties oppose or object to such DIP Financing, such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral, (ii) the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness permitted under such DIP Financing exceeds the sum of (A) the amount of First Lien Obligations refinanced with the proceeds thereof (not including the amount of any Excess First Lien Obligations) and (B) $50 million or (iii) the terms of such DIP Financing provide for the sale of a substantial

part of the Collateral (other than a sale or Disposition pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and with respect to which the Junior Lien Secured Parties are deemed to have consented pursuant to Section 4.02(d)) or require the confirmation of a plan of reorganization containing specific terms or provisions (other than repayment in cash of such DIP Financing on the effective date thereof). To the extent such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Liens, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, subordinate the Liens on the Collateral that secure the Junior Lien Obligations to the Liens on the Collateral that secure First Lien Obligations and to such DIP Financing Liens, so long as the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, retains Liens on all the Collateral, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, with the same priority relative to the First Liens as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), without the written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent (which consent is at the written direction of the Controlling First Lien Representative), the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing.

(d) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that it shall not object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any other party objecting to, opposing or contesting) a sale or other Disposition, a motion to sell or Dispose or the bidding procedure for the sale or Disposition of any Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code (any such sale or motion, a “Section 363 Event,” any such objection, opposition or contestation to a Section 363 Event, a “Section 363 Objection” and any notice or ruling issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of such Section 363 Event, a “Section 363 Notice”) if the requisite First Lien Secured Parties under the First Lien Documents shall have consented to such sale or Disposition, such motion to sell or Dispose or such bidding procedure for such sale or Disposition of such Collateral and all First Liens and Junior Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale in the same respective priorities as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 4.02(d), if the Junior Lien Purchasers have exercised their purchase option (or have committed to exercise their purchase option) pursuant to Section 3.06(a), Section 363 Objections shall be permitted to be made by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party, but only so long as the Junior Lien Purchasers shall not have defaulted on their obligations to consummate the purchase of the First Lien Debt and other Obligations contemplated by Section 3.06.

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

(f) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party will file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief) based upon their interest in the Collateral, and will not object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection, except that the Junior Lien Secured Parties may:

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

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

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

(h) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party shall support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of the Company or any other Grantor unless (i) such plan is accepted by the Class of First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise provides for the payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest approved by the bankruptcy court, fees and expenses and cash collateralization of all letters of credit) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (ii) such plan provides on account of the First Lien Secured Parties for the retention by the First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, and on all proceeds thereof whenever received, and such plan also provides that any Lien retained by, or granted to, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent is only on property securing the First Lien Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other property, respectively, as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(i) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations) and subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party, shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral if the First Lien Collateral Agent has not received relief from the automatic stay (or it has not been lifted for the First Lien Collateral Agent’s benefit), without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, which consent is in its sole discretion.

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

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that any distribution or recovery they may receive in respect of any Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over, subject to the requirements of Section 6.01(a), to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the Junior 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 endorsement or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each other Junior Lien Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.02(k) and taking any action and executing any instrument that may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02(k), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

(l) Without the express written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent (which consent shall be granted or withheld at the written direction of the Controlling First Lien Representative), unless the applicable Standstill Period has expired, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will not file or join an involuntary bankruptcy claim or seek the appointment of an examiner or a trustee for the Company or other Grantor or any of their respective subsidiaries.

(m) Neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party shall oppose or challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Parties for the allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent of the value of the First Liens (it being understood that such value will be determined without regard to the existence of the Junior Liens on the Collateral), subject to the First Lien Cap. Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall oppose or challenge any claim by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party for the allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses pursuant to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent of the value of the Junior Liens on the Collateral; provided, however, that if the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party shall have made any such claim, such claim (i) shall have been approved or (ii) will be approved contemporaneously with the approval of any such claim by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party, as applicable.

(n) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, waives any right to assert or enforce any claim under Sections 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against any First Lien Secured Party or any of the Collateral.

(o) Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Documents and the Junior Lien Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from each other, are not “substantially similar” to the First Lien Obligations within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 1122(a), 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 against the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim or are properly classified in one class (rather than separate claims or classes of first lien and second lien secured claims), then the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 6.01 of this Agreement as if there were separate classes of first lien and second lien secured claims against the Company and/or other Grantors in respect of the Collateral with the effect being that (A) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest (whether at the default rate as set forth in the applicable First Lien Documents or otherwise in accordance with the First Lien Documents and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excess First Lien Obligations) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties, and (B) in accordance with Section 3.05(b), each Junior Lien Secured Party shall hold in trust for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, and forthwith turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, amounts otherwise received or receivable by such Junior Lien Secured Party to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 4.02 and this Agreement, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Lien Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall constitute an agreement or an acknowledgment by any party hereto or any Person bound hereby that all of the First Lien Obligations are to be classified as a single class or that all of the First Lien Obligations are substantially similar to each other.

Section 4.03 Reinstatement. If any First Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”) for any reason whatsoever, then the First Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that if, at any time, a Junior Lien Secured Party receives notice of any Recovery, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the First Lien Collateral Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Collateral subject to any First Lien securing such First Lien Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such First Lien then held by it over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party and in their possession or under their control on account of the Junior Lien Obligations, after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.03 and to the extent consistent with Section 6.01(a), be held in trust for and paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties for application to the reinstated First Lien Obligations until the discharge thereof. This Section 4.03 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 4.04 Refinancings; Additional First Lien Debt and Additional Junior Lien Debt.

(a) The First Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, by, and the Company may otherwise incur, any Additional First Lien Debt or Additional Junior Lien Debt, as the case may be, and Additional First Lien Obligations or Additional Junior Lien Obligations may be incurred, in each case, subject to the requirements specified in this Agreement, but without notice to, or the consent of, any Secured Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that:

(i) in the case of any Additional First Lien Debt, (A) the First Lien Collateral Agent shall receive on or prior to incurrence of such indebtedness, a joinder agreement to the Collateral Agency Agreement and (B) (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the First Lien Obligations, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Additional First Lien Debt, shall not exceed the First Lien Cap and (y) such Additional First Lien Debt satisfies any applicable requirements of the Collateral Agency Agreement; and

(ii) the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall have received (A) an Officers’ Certificate from the Company stating that (x) the incurrence thereof is permitted by this Agreement and each applicable Secured Debt Document to be incurred, (y) such Additional First Lien Debt or Additional Junior Lien Debt is designated by the Company as “First Lien Debt” or “Junior Lien Debt”, as applicable, for the purposes of the Secured Debt Documents and this Agreement; provided, however, that no series of Secured Debt may be designated as more than one of First Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt and (z) the requirements of Section 4.06 have been satisfied, and (B) (x) in the case of any Additional First Lien Debt, an Additional Secured Debt Designation from the holders or lenders of any indebtedness that refinanced or replaced the First Lien Obligations (or an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on their behalf) and (y) in the case of any Additional Junior Lien Debt, an Additional Secured Debt Designation from the holders or lenders of any indebtedness that refinanced or replaced the Junior Lien Obligations (or an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on their behalf); and

(b) the Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of First Lien Obligations or an additional holder of Junior Lien Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the registered holder of First Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt, respectively, incurred by the Company after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents. The Company may effect such designation by delivering to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, each of the following:

(i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company intends to incur, (x) with respect to Additional First Lien Debt, Additional First Lien Obligations which will be First Lien Debt and will be permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document, to be incurred and secured by a First Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future First Lien Debt or (y) with respect to Additional Junior Lien Debt, Additional Junior Lien Obligations which will be Junior Lien Debt and will be permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document, to be incurred and secured by a Junior Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Junior Lien Debt;

(ii) an authorized agent, trustee or other representative on behalf of the holders or lenders of any Additional First Lien Obligations or Additional Junior Lien Obligations must be designated as an additional holder of Secured Obligations hereunder and must, prior to such designation, sign and deliver on behalf of the holders or lenders of such Additional First Lien Obligations or Additional Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be, an Additional Secured Debt Designation, and, to the extent necessary or appropriate to facilitate such transaction, a new intercreditor agreement substantially similar to this Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof; and

(iii) evidence that the Company has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations deemed necessary by the Company and the holder of such Additional First Lien Representative or Additional Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be, to ensure that the Additional First Lien Obligations or Additional Junior Lien Obligations are secured by the Collateral in accordance with the First Lien Collateral Documents or Junior Lien Collateral Documents, as the case may be (provided, however, that such filings and recordings may be authorized, executed and recorded following any incurrence on a

post-closing basis if permitted by the First Lien Collateral Agent or Junior Lien Collateral Agent for such Additional First Lien Obligations or Additional Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be).

For the avoidance of doubt, (A) in the case of any Junior Lien Obligation that is refinanced or replaced, the Liens securing such refinancing or replacing Indebtedness shall have a Lien priority equal to or junior to the Liens securing the Indebtedness being refinanced or replaced and (B) the deliveries set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(b) shall not be required (and shall be deemed satisfied) in connection with an issuance of additional First Lien Notes or Junior Lien Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable Secured Debt Document.

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

Section 4.05 Amendments to Junior Lien Documents. Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Junior Lien Document may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified and/or refinanced or entered into to the extent that such amendment, supplement, restatement or modification and/or refinancing, or the terms of any new Junior Lien Document, would (i) adversely affect the lien priority rights of the First Lien Secured Parties or the rights of the First Lien Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the First Lien Documents, (ii) except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, add any Liens securing the Collateral granted under the Junior Lien Documents, (iii) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or the First Lien Documents, (iv) change to earlier dates any scheduled dates for payment of principal or of interest on Junior Lien Debt, (v) change the mandatory redemption or prepayment provisions set forth in the Junior Lien Documents in a manner that would require the applicable Junior Lien Debt to be mandatorily redeemed or prepaid prior to the repayment in full of the First Lien Obligations, (vi) add any guarantees of the Junior Lien Obligations from guarantors that do not guarantee the First Lien Obligations, (vii) provide for “cross-default” (as opposed to “cross-acceleration”) provisions to the First Lien Obligations or (viii) change any term, covenant, default provision or event of default provision set forth in the Junior Lien Documents to be more restrictive than the terms, covenants, defaults and events of default with respect to the First Lien Obligations (other than any more restrictive provisions with respect to additional Junior Lien Debt) or add any financial maintenance covenant.

Section 4.06 Legends. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent (with respect to the First Lien Collateral Documents to which it is a party and executed after the date of this Agreement) and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent acknowledges that each Junior Lien Facility and the Junior Lien Documents (other than control agreements to which both the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent are parties) and each associated Security Document (other than control agreements to which both the First

Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent are parties) granting any security interest in the Collateral will contain the appropriate legend set forth on Annex I.

Section 4.07 Junior Lien Secured Parties Rights as Unsecured Creditors; Judgment Lien Creditor. Both before or after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties may take any action and exercise any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims; provided, however, that the Junior Lien Secured Parties may not take any of the actions prohibited by Section 3.05(a) or Section 4.02 or any other provisions in this Agreement; provided, further, that in the event that any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Junior 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 Junior Liens are subject to this Agreement.

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

Section 4.09 Acknowledgment by the Secured Debt Representatives. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges that this Agreement is a material inducement to enter into, and that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent have relied on this Agreement to enter into, the First Lien Indenture and Junior Lien Indenture, respectively, and all documentation related thereto, and that each will continue to rely on this Agreement in their related future dealings.

ARTICLE V

GRATUITOUS BAILMENT FOR PERFECTION OF CERTAIN SECURITY INTERESTS

Section 5.01 General. Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees that if it at any time holds a First Lien on any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any Account in which such Collateral is held and if such Collateral or any such Account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent will serve as gratuitous bailee for the Junior Lien Collateral Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Junior Lien of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. It is agreed that the obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the rights of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties in connection with any such bailment arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of ARTICLE II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the First Lien Collateral Agent will be deemed to make no representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to perfect the Junior Lien on any such Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty, obligation or liability to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any other Junior Lien Secured Party or any other Person for such perfection or failure to perfect, it being understood that the sole purpose of this ARTICLE V is to enable the Junior Lien Secured Parties to obtain a perfected

Junior Lien in such Collateral to the extent, if any, that such perfection results from the possession or control of such Collateral or any such Account by the First Lien Collateral Agent. The First Lien Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not have, by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Junior Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document or theory, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any First Lien Secured Party, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party. Except as specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with such Collateral and Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other First Lien Documents as if the Junior Liens did not exist. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any such action requested by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.01 that the First Lien Collateral Agent in good faith believes will expose it to any liability for expenses or other amounts, unless the First Lien Collateral Agent receives an indemnity with respect to such action that is reasonably satisfactory to it from the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and Junior Lien Secured Parties. Subject to Section 4.03, from and after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), the First Lien Collateral Agent shall take all such actions in its power as reasonably requested by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or any such Account (in each case to the extent the Junior Lien Collateral Agent has a Lien on such Collateral or Account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of all Junior Lien Secured Parties. From and after the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations, and to the extent any Excess First Lien Obligations are outstanding, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or any such Account (in each case to the extent the First Lien Collateral Agent has a Lien on such Collateral or Account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of all First Lien Secured Parties.

Section 5.02 Deposit Accounts. Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), to the extent that any Account is under the control of the First Lien Collateral Agent at any time (within the meaning of the term “control” as it relates to Accounts under Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC), the First Lien Collateral Agent will act as gratuitous bailee for the Junior Lien Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Liens of the Junior Lien Secured Parties in such Accounts and the cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 3.01 but will have no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Junior Lien Secured Parties (including, without limitation, any duty, responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement or the establishment of such perfection except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 5.02). Unless the Junior Liens on such Collateral have been, or concurrently are, released, after the occurrence of Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), the First Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, cooperate with the Grantors and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in permitting control of any other Accounts to be transferred to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent (or for other arrangements with respect to each such Accounts satisfactory to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent to be made).

ARTICLE VI

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS; DETERMINATION OF AMOUNTS

Section 6.01 Application of Proceeds. Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and regardless of whether an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, Collateral or proceeds received in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any portion of the Collateral will be applied:

(a) first, to the payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations that are not Excess First Lien Obligations, in accordance with the application of proceeds set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, if applicable, and if no Collateral Agency Agreement is then applicable, as set forth in the First Lien Indenture;

(b) second, to the payment in full in cash of all Junior Lien Obligations;

(c) third, to the payment in full in cash of all Excess First Lien Obligations, in accordance with the application of proceeds set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement, if applicable; and

(d) fourth, to the Company or as otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 6.02 Determination of Amounts. Whenever a Secured Debt Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligation or any Junior Lien Obligation, the existence of any Lien securing any such obligation or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Secured Debt Representatives and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Secured Debt Representative fails or refuses to reasonably and promptly provide the requested information, the requesting Secured Debt Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. Each Secured Debt Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE VII

The First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall have no duty to disclose to any Junior Lien Secured Party or to any First Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, any information relating to the Company or any of the other Grantors, or any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of non-payment of any of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations, as the case may be, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their Affiliates. In the event any First Lien Secured Party or any Junior Lien Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Junior Lien Secured Party or any First Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, it shall be under no obligation to make, and shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of the information so

provided; provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion; or undertake any investigation.

(a) The First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE VIII, neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Junior Lien Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Junior Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Lien thereon.

(b) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE VIII, neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Lien thereon.

(c) The First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Secured Parties shall have no express or implied duty to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party, and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties shall have no express or implied duty to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party, to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a default or an event of default under any First Lien Document and any Junior Lien Document (other than, in each case, this Agreement), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(d) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby waives any claim that may be had against the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party arising out of any action which the First Lien Collateral Agent or such First Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to (i) the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, (ii) the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any Collateral, (iii) the maintenance and preservation of any Collateral and (iv) the collection of any claim for all or only part of the First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement and the First Lien Documents or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for such First Lien Obligations.

Section 9.03 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance.

(a) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), if any Junior Lien Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Grantor or its Collateral, such Grantor, with the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any First Lien Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Grantor.

(b) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than Excess First Lien Obligations), should any Junior Lien Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, or attempt to take or threaten to take, any action with respect to the Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or take any other action in violation of this Agreement or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Grantor) or the relevant Grantor, with the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, (i) may obtain relief against such Junior Lien Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party that (A) the First Lien Secured Parties’ damages from such action or actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (B) each Junior Lien Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the First Lien Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) shall be entitled to damages, as well as reimbursement for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 9.11 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the distinct and separate relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties. None of the Company, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.04 or Section 4.05) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the First Lien Indenture, the Junior Lien Indenture or the Collateral Agency Agreement, as applicable), and except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Section 4.01, Section 4.02, Section 4.04, or Section 4.05, ARTICLE VII and ARTICLE IX). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Company or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations under the Secured Debt Documents as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any Secured Debt Document, the Grantors shall not be required to act or refrain from acting pursuant to this Agreement, any First Lien Document or any Junior Lien Document with respect to any Collateral in any manner that would cause a default under any First Lien Document.

Section 9.12 Certain Terms Concerning the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent. None of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Secured Party or for any other Secured Party’s compliance with (or failure to comply with) the terms of this Agreement. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have individual liability to any Person if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to any Secured Party (or the Company or any other Grantor) any amount in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so long as the First Lien Collateral Agent is acting in accordance with the standards applicable to it pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent is entering into this Agreement solely in its respective capacities as collateral agent under the First Lien Documents and the Junior Lien Documents, respectively, and not in its individual capacity. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any other Junior Lien Secured Party. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Secured Party.

Section 9.13 Authorization of Secured Agents. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other First Lien Collateral Documents, each First Lien Secured Party authorizes the First Lien Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf as collateral agent hereunder and in connection herewith. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other Junior Lien Collateral Documents, each Junior Lien Secured Party authorizes the Junior Lien Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf as collateral agent hereunder and in connection herewith. In the event that Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacities as First Lien Trustee or Junior Lien Trustee, is entitled to exercise any rights of or perform any obligations of a First Lien Representative or Junior Lien Representative under this Agreement, each of the First Lien Trustee and Junior Lien Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and powers (including, without limitation, the right to indemnification) granted to it under the First Lien Indenture and Junior Lien Indenture, respectively.

Section 9.14 Further Assurances. Each of the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Secured Party, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, and each Grantor party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its subsidiaries, agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any applicable law, or which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Junior Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein.

Section 9.15 Relationship of Secured Parties. Nothing set forth herein shall create or evidence a joint venture, partnership or an agency or fiduciary relationship among the Secured Parties. None of the Secured Parties nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible to any other Secured Party or to any other Person for any Grantor’s solvency, financial condition or ability to repay the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations, or for statements of any Grantor, oral or written, or for the validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the First Lien Documents or the Junior Lien Documents, or any security interest granted by any Grantor to any Secured Party in connection therewith. Each Secured Party has entered into its respective financing agreements with the Grantors based upon its own independent investigation, and none of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Junior Lien Collateral Agent makes any warranty or representation to the other Secured Debt Representatives or the Secured Parties.

Section 9.16 First Lien Collateral Agent.
