Further Assurances. From time to time during the term hereof: (a) each of the Credit Agent and the Note Agent, at the reasonable request of the other, shall execute and deliver to the other such notices of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement, in recordable form, and shall execute and deliver such other documents and instruments and take such other actions, as shall reasonably be necessary to carry out the intentions or to facilitate the performance of this Agreement including, without limitation, in connection with any Remedial Action of which such Person has received notice; and 17 (b) if, in connection with any Remedial Action permitted by Section 3.2 or any Disposition of any Anchor Property contemplated by Section 3.5, it becomes necessary or advisable for the Credit Agent, the Note Agent or the Borrower to obtain a release or discharge of any subordinate Lenders' Lien or any subordinate Senior Noteholders' Lien in any such Property in order to convey title thereto unencumbered by such Lien, then so long as such Remedial Action or Disposition, and the application of the proceeds derived therefrom, have been or will contemporaneously be accomplished in conformity with this Agreement, the Credit Agent or the Note Agent (to the extent permitted by the TIA), as appropriate, shall, upon the request of the other (or of the Borrower), execute such instruments of release or discharge of such Liens, in recordable form, as may be reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances; provided, however, that any such release or discharge may, to the extent required under the Bank Credit Agreement, the Bank Credit Agreement Security Documents or the Senior Note Documents, be expressly conditioned upon the requirement that any net Proceeds of such Remedial Action or Disposition in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the Bank Credit Agreement Obligations or Senior Note Obligations, as the case may be, shall be paid over to the other for application to the Bank Credit Agreement Obligations (in the case of the Credit Agent) and to the Senior Note Obligations (in the case of the Note Agent) or as otherwise provided by Law. 3.11. Access to Collateral.

In the event such utilization of the Senior Note Collateral is solely for the purpose of removing and realizing on Bank Collateral, the Lenders shall indemnify the Senior Noteholders from all damage to or deterioration of the Senior Note Collateral during such utilization, normal wear and tear excepted. (b) in the event such utilization of the Senior Note Collateral is for the purpose of processing and converting raw materials (including work-in-process) into finished goods, the Lenders shall, in addition to the indemnity referenced in paragraph (a) above, pay to the Senior Noteholders the incremental costs (i.e., those costs which are directly attributable to the Credit Agent's utilization of such Senior Note Collateral over and above any such costs the Senior Noteholders would have incurred whether or not the Credit Agent had so utilized the Senior Note Collateral) incurred by the Senior Noteholders on account of utility rates and similar charges and any increased insurance costs which the Senior Noteholders are required to pay as a result of such utilization. (c) If, and only if, the Credit Agent's utilization of the Senior Note Collateral is materially disruptive to the operations of the plant and facility, the Credit Agent shall pay to the Senior Noteholders fair market value compensation on a weekly basis in respect of its use of the plant and facility proportionate to the amount of disruption to the operations of the plant and facility provided that if in the event the Credit Agent and the Senior Noteholders are unable to agree as to the amount of such fair market value compensation they shall submit such dispute to arbitration. 18 (d) Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall prevent the Note Agent or the Credit Agent from entering into a contract of sale, transfer or other disposition of, or otherwise foreclosing on, any of the Senior Note Collateral or Bank Collateral so long as such contract provides, or such foreclosure is subject to providing, the Credit Agent or the Note Agent, as the case may be, with the same access to such Collateral as provided by this Section 3.11. (e) The Note Agent agrees that it shall not take any legal action or commence any legal proceeding to prevent the Credit Agent's use of the Senior Note Collateral as provided in this Section 3.11 or the Credit Agent's non-exclusive use of any Patents, Patent Licenses or General Intangibles necessary or desirable to convert raw materials constituting Bank Collateral into inventory, to the extent that the Borrower has granted the Credit Agent the right to use any such property for such purpose. 3.12. Trademark Licenses. (a) The Note Agent consents to the granting by the Borrower to the Credit Agent of a nonexclusive license to use each Trademark of the Borrower to enable them to manufacture and sell the Bank Collateral. Such license and such right shall be world-wide and royalty free. The Credit Agent covenants and agrees that it will use reasonable efforts after the acceleration of the Bank Credit Agreement Obligations to obtain possession of the Bank Collateral and to promptly terminate such license with respect to any Trademark by notice to the Note Agent at the time any such Property (in the judgment of the Credit Agent) is no longer necessary or desirable in connection with the manufacture or sale of the Bank Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, the Note Agent agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1, the Senior Noteholders' Lien in all such Trademarks shall be subject to the Credit Agent's interest therein by virtue of such license or sublicense (that is, foreclosure on such Lien will not terminate such license or sublicense). The right of the Note Agent to take Remedial Actions with respect to such Trademarks shall not be affected by the immediately preceding sentence or any provision set forth in Section 3.12(d), but any conveyance by the Note Agent of such Trademarks and Trademark Licenses or any interest therein shall be subject to the aforesaid limited licenses granted in favor of the Credit Agent or the prior security interest of the Credit Agent to the extent of such security interest set forth in Section 3.12(d). (b) The Credit Agent acknowledges that, to the extent that the Note Agent shall have the right to use or license the Trademarks, the Note Agent shall have the right to grant nonexclusive licenses and sublicenses in the Trademarks and the Trademark Licenses to Persons other than the Credit Agent withstanding the grant of the license to the Credit Agent contemplated by Section 3.12(a). (c) The Credit Agent shall not have any right to assign, convey, transfer or grant licenses and sublicenses in the Trademarks and the Trademark Licenses to any other Person, other than, subject to the limitations of this Section 3.12, in connection with the uses permitted by Section 3.12(a) above to any Person acquiring Inventory from the Credit Agent in connection with the exercise by the Credit Agent of its rights as a secured creditor of the Borrower with respect to such Inventory, and any purported assignment, conveyance, transfer or grant (except as expressly permitted herein) shall be void. 19 (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the trademark license granted to the Credit Agent referred to in Section 3.12(a) above, does not for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of the occurrence of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar event with respect to the Borrower) confer on the Credit Agent the rights and benefits contemplated thereby, then the security interest of the Credit Agent in the Trademarks shall be pari passu with the security interest of the Note Agent, solely to the extent necessary to confer on the Credit Agent the use of the Trademarks as contemplated by such trademark license. Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, in the case of any Disposition of any of the Trademarks, any Proceeds of such Disposition shall constitute Senior Note Collateral and otherwise be distributed and applied as Senior Note Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The rights of the Note Agent to take Remedial Action with respect to such Trademarks shall not be affected by such security interest, but any conveyance by the Note Agent of such Trademarks or any interest therein shall be subject to the Credit Agent's security interest, but only to the extent of such security interest as provided in this Section 3.12(d). 4. Reliance, Waivers, Etc. 4.1. Creation of Future Obligations.

(b) Nothing herein or in the Shared Collateral Security Documents shall impose or be construed to impose on the Shared Collateral Agent any duties or obligations, other than those expressly provided for herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship with the Credit Agent or the Note Agent and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read into the Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents. 5.2. Instructions. Voting and Meetings. (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Shared Collateral Agent is authorized, but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens on the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders and (ii) when instructions from the Required Parties have been requested by the Shared Collateral Agent but have not yet been received, to take any action which the Shared Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders in the Shared Collateral, provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of the Shared Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Shared Collateral Agent shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto. (b) As to any matters relating to the Shared Collateral or the Shared Collateral Security Documents not otherwise expressly delegated to the Shared Collateral Agent, the Note Agent or the Credit Agent by the Bank Credit Agreement, the Security Documents or the Senior Note Documents, the Shared Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting on the instructions of the Required Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Shared Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting upon the direction of Lenders constituting the Required Parties, such action or inaction, as the case may be, shall not constitute a breach of any fiduciary obligation which the Shared Collateral Agent might owe to the Note Agent or the Senior Noteholders even if the Note Agent or the Senior Noteholders are damaged by such action or inaction. (c) If, with respect to a proposed action to be taken by it, the Shared Collateral Agent shall determine in good faith that the provisions of this Agreement or any 24 Shared Collateral Security Document relating to the functions or responsibilities or discretionary powers of the Shared Collateral Agent are or may be ambiguous or inconsistent, the Shared Collateral Agent shall notify the Credit Agent and the Note Agent, identifying the proposed action and the provisions that it considers are or may be ambiguous or inconsistent, and may decline either to perform such function or responsibility or to exercise such discretionary power unless it has received the written confirmation of the Required Parties that the Required Parties concur in the circumstances that the action proposed to be taken by the Shared Collateral Agent is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or such Shared Collateral Security Document or is otherwise appropriate. The Shared Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the confirmation of the Required Parties in this respect, and such confirmation shall be binding upon the Shared Collateral Agent, the Lenders the Note Agent and the Senior Noteholders. (f) Notwithstanding any provisions herein, the Shared Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Shared Collateral Agent may expose, the Shared Collateral Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees to personal liability unless the Shared Collateral Agent shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein, or that is or in the good faith judgment of the Shared Collateral Agent may be contrary to the Shared Collateral Security Documents or applicable law. (e) Except for action expressly required of the Shared Collateral Agent hereunder the Shared Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified (in addition to the indemnity provided by Section 5.4 hereof) to its satisfaction by the Credit Agent and the Note Agent in advance against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents, the Shared Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or give any consent under this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or enter into any agreement amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving any provision of this Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Document unless it shall have been directed to do so by the Required Parties. 5.3. Disclaimer: Good Faith Reliance on Advice and Information. (a) Neither the Shared Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Shared Collateral Security Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Shared Collateral Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, appraisers and other experts selected by the Shared Collateral Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, appraisers or experts, and (ii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of Shared Collateral Security Documents by acting upon any representation or warranty of the Borrower made in connection therewith or by relying upon any written information supplied by any predecessor Shared Collateral Agent(s) or by acting upon any notice, instruction, consent, 25 certificate or other instrument, writing or communication (which may be by telegram, cable, telex or telephone) in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper party or parties. (b) For purposes of this Section 5.3, "known" shall mean that information has come to the attention of an officer of a party with responsibility for the applicable transaction under this Agreement giving such party actual knowledge of the existence or non-existence of the fact in question. (c) The Shared Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Person for (i) the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Shared Collateral Security Documents, any Shared Collateral provided thereunder, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) the priority of any Lien granted under the Shared Collateral Security Documents; (iii) any omissions or errors on the part of government officials, failure of mail deliveries, losses of documents by Federal Express or other courier services, mistakes by title companies or lien search companies, or other similar events; (iv) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower, or any affiliate of the Borrower or any officer, employee or agent of any such party in the Shared Collateral Security Documents or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for therein, (v) any failure by the Borrower, or any affiliate of the Borrower to perform its obligations under the Shared Collateral Security Documents of any document or instrument related thereto; or (vi) any conflict among the Shared Collateral Security Documents or any other instrument or document to which the Borrower or any Lender or Senior Noteholder is a party.

The Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders for purposes of this Section 5.4(a) shall be determined (i) 26 in the case the Shared Collateral Agent has taken any Remedial Action with respect to the Shared Collateral, at the time of the commencement of such Remedial Action and (ii) in the case the Shared Collateral Agent has not taken any such Remedial Action, as of the date such Claim commenced to be incurred, in each case, as determined by the Shared Collateral Agent in good faith. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and to the extent that the Indemnitee is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower, the Credit Agent and the Note Agent severally agree to reimburse the Indemnitee promptly upon demand ratably according to the Pro Rata Shares held by the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders, respectively, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including regular time billing charges of in-house or outside counsel) incurred by the Indemnitee and permitted by this Section 5.4 in connection with the administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents (including without limitation the enforcement of this indemnity). The Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders for purposes of this Section 5.4(b) shall be determined (i) in the case the Shared Collateral Agent has taken any Remedial Action with respect to the Shared Collateral, at the time of the commencement of such Remedial Action and (ii) in the case the Shared Collateral Agent has not taken any such Remedial Action, as of the date such Claim commenced to be incurred, in each case, as determined by the Shared Collateral Agent in good faith. (c) Any Indemnitee may retain its own counsel to prosecute, negotiate or defend any Claims; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations under this Section 5.4 shall only apply to one counsel with respect to any Claim regardless of the number of Indemnitees. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to compromise any Claims with the consent of the Required Parties. (d) The obligations of the Credit Agent and the Note Agent, collectively, under this Section 5.4 shall survive the payment of all Bank Credit Agreement Obligations and the Senior Note Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. (e) The obligations of the Note Agent under this Section 5.4 shall in no event exceed the amounts actually paid to and received by the Note Agent from the Borrower to reimburse the Note Agent for such obligations plus the proceeds of the Shared Collateral received by the Note Agent and available to pay such obligations in accordance with the terms of the Senior Note Documents. The obligations of the Credit Agent under this Section 5.4 shall in no event exceed amounts actually paid to and received by the Credit Agent from the Borrower to reimburse the Credit Agent for such obligations plus the proceeds of Shared Collateral received by the Credit Agent and available to pay such obligations in accordance with the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement and the Bank Credit Agreement Security Documents. 5.5. Resignation and Removal of Shared Collateral Agent. (a) (i) The Shared Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Note Agent, the Credit Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Required Parties by written notice delivered to the Borrower, the Note Agent and the Credit Agent. 27 (ii) Upon receiving notice of any such resignation or removal, a successor Shared Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Note Agent and the Credit Agent; provided, however, that such successor Shared Collateral Agent shall be (A) a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state banking authority, and (B) authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization to assume the functions of the Shared Collateral Agent, If the appointment of such successor shall not have become effective (as hereafter provided) within such sixty (60) day period after the Shared Collateral Agent shall have given such notice, then the Shared Collateral Agent may assign its Liens on the Shared Collateral and its duties hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security Documents to the Note Agent and the Credit Agent, as their interests may appear, and in such case all references herein to "Shared Collateral Agent" shall be deemed to refer to "Required Parties". The Required Parties may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Shared Collateral Agent. Such court shall, after such notice as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Shared Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications specified in this Section 5.5(a). The Note Agent, the Credit Agent, the Lenders and the Senior Noteholders hereby consent to such petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met.

In the event of any controversy with respect to any payment or prepayment made, the Shared Collateral Agent shall be permitted to rely conclusively (in the absence of manifest error) upon its own records with respect to any payments made to or by the Shared Collateral Agent and, in every other case, upon the written representation of any of the Note Agent, the Credit Agent, a Lender or a Senior Noteholder as to facts regarding the Bank Credit Agreement Obligations or the Senior Note Obligations owed to it, notwithstanding any contrary representation by any other party.

Any interest earned on such funds shall be deposited into the Shared Collateral Account and disbursed to the Note Agent and the Credit Agent in accordance with this Agreement. The Shared Collateral Agent may hold any such funds in a common interest bearing account.
