(b)any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral.

2.2Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  (i) In respect of any Collateral, the Junior Representative, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of such Collateral agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to:

(a)contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, perfection, validity or enforceability of any Senior Lien on such Collateral; or

(b)demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or similar right which it may have in respect of such Collateral or the Senior Liens on such Collateral, except to the extent that such rights are expressly granted in this Agreement.

(ii)In respect of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Representative, on behalf of each ABL Secured Party, agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to:

(a)assert or claim that the ABL Representative, for itself or the benefit of any ABL Secured Party, has a Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligation;

(b)contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, perfection, validity or enforceability of any Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral; or

(c)demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or similar right which it may have in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral or the Liens on such Collateral.

2.3Nature of Obligations.  The Term Loan Representative on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties acknowledges that a portion of the ABL Obligations represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended, amended, increased, renewed, replaced or Refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Term Loan Secured Parties except as provided in Section 6(d) hereof, and without affecting the provisions hereof.  The ABL Representative on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties acknowledges that Term Loan Obligations may be modified, extended, amended, increased, renewed, replaced or Refinanced without notice to or consent by the ABL Secured Parties except as provided in Section 6(e) hereof, and without affecting the provisions hereof.  The Lien Priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, or any portion thereof.

2.4No New Liens.  Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, no ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligation.  If any ABL Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any Term Loan Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligation, then the ABL Representative (or the relevant ABL Secured Party, at the direction of the ABL Representative) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party or demand from any Term Loan Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document, as soon as practicable (i) notify the Term Loan Representative in writing of the existence of such Lien and (ii) take all steps necessary to fully and unconditionally release such Lien.

2.5Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and should be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather

than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Loan Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or Term Loan Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

2.6Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens.  (a)  Each of the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) over, or is otherwise noted as a lienholder on any certificate of title constituting, any Term Loan Collateral, in the case of the ABL Representative, or any Common Collateral in the case of the Term Loan Representative, the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative, as applicable, each agrees to hold or control such Term Loan Collateral or Common Collateral, as applicable, as bailee and as non-fiduciary agent for the Term Loan Representative or the ABL Representative, as applicable (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC and applicable certificate of title laws), solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest (including any second-priority security interest) granted under the Term Loan Documents or the ABL Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.6 (either the ABL Representative or the Term Loan Representative in such capacity, the “Control Representative”).  Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall be construed to impose any duty on the ABL Representative or the Term Loan Representative (or any third party acting on either such Person’s behalf) or create any fiduciary relationship with respect to such Term Loan Collateral or Common Collateral, as applicable, or provide the Term Loan Representative, any other Term Loan Secured Party, the ABL Representative or any other ABL Secured Party, as applicable, with any rights with respect to such Term Loan Collateral or Common Collateral, as applicable, beyond those specified in this Agreement, the ABL Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents, as applicable, provided that subsequent to the occurrence of the ABL Obligations Payment Date (so long as the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date shall not have occurred), the ABL Representative shall (i) deliver to the Term Loan Representative, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, the Term Loan Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Term Loan Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Term Loan Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs; provided,  further, that subsequent to the occurrence of the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date (so long as the ABL Obligations Payment Date shall not have occurred), the Term Loan Representative shall (A) deliver to the ABL Representative, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the ABL Documents or (B) direct and deliver such

Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties and shall not impose on the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party.

(b)The ABL Representative hereby agrees that after the ABL Obligations Payment Date and upon the written request of the Term Loan Representative, to the extent that the applicable Account Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been terminated, the ABL Representative shall continue to act as the Control Representative for the Term Loan Representative (solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Term Loan Documents and at the expense of the Grantors) with respect to the Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account that is the subject of such Account Agreement, until the earlier to occur of (i) 60 days after the ABL Obligations Payment Date and (ii) the date when an Account Agreement is executed in favor of the Term Loan Representative with respect to such Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account.  The Term Loan Representative hereby agrees that after the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date and upon the written request of the ABL Representative, to the extent that the applicable Account Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been terminated, the Term Loan Representative shall continue to act as the Control Representative for the ABL Representative (solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Documents and at the expense of the Grantors) with respect to the Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account that is the subject of such Account Agreement, until the earlier to occur of (1) 60 days after the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date and (2) the date when an Account Agreement is executed in favor of the ABL Representative with respect to such Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account.

(c)Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Representative agrees that to the extent it is in possession of any Collateral constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, promptly upon the request of the Term Loan Representative at any time prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Representative shall deliver to the Term Loan Representative any such Term Loan Priority Collateral held by it, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each ABL Creditor known to it to be holding such Term Loan Priority Collateral to deliver the same to the Term Loan Representative, together with any necessary endorsements without warranty or representation of any kind (or otherwise allow the Term Loan Representative to obtain control of such Term Loan Priority Collateral).

(d)Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the Term Loan Representative agrees that to the extent it is in possession of any Common Collateral constituting ABL Facility Priority Collateral, promptly upon the request of the ABL Representative at any time prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the Term Loan Representative shall deliver to the ABL Representative any such ABL Facility Priority Collateral held by it, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Term Loan Creditor known to it to be holding such ABL Facility Priority Collateral to deliver the same to the ABL Representative, together with any necessary endorsements without warranty or representation of any kind (or otherwise allow the ABL Representative to obtain control of such ABL Facility Priority Collateral).

(e)The ABL Representative shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Term Loan Representative or any Term Loan Creditor to ensure that any Term Loan Collateral is genuine or owned by any Grantor or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.6.  The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Representative under this Section 2.6 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Term Loan Collateral as bailee and non-fiduciary agent in accordance with this Section 2.6 and delivering the Term Loan Collateral upon the ABL Obligations Payment Date as provided in this Section 2.6.  The Term Loan Representative shall have no obligation whatsoever to the ABL Representative or any ABL Creditor to ensure that the Common Collateral is genuine or owned by any Grantor or to preserve rights or benefits of any person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.6.  The duties or responsibilities of the Term Loan Representative under this Section 2.6 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Common Collateral as bailee and non-fiduciary agent in accordance with this Section 2.6 and delivering the Common Collateral upon the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date as provided in this Section 2.6.

Section 3.Enforcement Rights.

3.1Exclusive Enforcement.  Until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Senior Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take and continue any Enforcement Action (including the right to credit bid their debt) with respect to the Senior Collateral, without any consultation with or consent of any Junior Secured Party, but subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.1.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Senior Documents, the Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Obligations and the Senior Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Senior Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Junior Representative may, subject to Section 3.2, take all such actions as it shall deem necessary to (i) perfect or continue the perfection of its Junior Liens or (ii) create, preserve or protect (but not enforce) the Junior Liens on any Collateral.

3.2Standstill and Waivers.  Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Secured Parties, agrees that, until the Senior Obligations Payment Date has occurred, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, but subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.1:

(a)they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien on any Senior Collateral that secures any Junior Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or to give any Junior Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, the Liens on the Senior Collateral securing the Senior Obligations;

(b)they will not, directly or indirectly, contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Senior Collateral by any Senior Secured Party or any other Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) in respect of the Senior Collateral by or on behalf of any Senior Secured Party;

(c)they have no right to (x) direct either the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Security Documents in respect of the Senior Collateral or (y) consent or object to the exercise by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Security Documents with respect to the Senior Collateral or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a junior lien creditor in respect of the Senior Collateral or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right);

(d)they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Collateral seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and no Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Senior Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Documents in respect of the Senior Collateral;

(e)they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of any Senior Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce their interest in or realize upon, the Senior Collateral; and

(f)they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Senior Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Senior Collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Junior Secured Parties shall be entitled to engage or retain sales brokers, marketing agents, investment bankers, accountants, auctioneers or other third parties for the purpose of valuing, and preparing for the marketing or sale of, all or a material portion of the Collateral; provided, however, that (i) the retention of any such Person (and any action taken by such Person) shall not interfere with, impair, or delay in any manner any Enforcement Action taken by the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party with respect to the Senior Collateral and (ii) to the extent that any Person retained by a Junior Secured Party pursuant hereto deems it necessary to physically access and inspect any Senior Collateral, then such Person shall make a written request to the Senior Representative, who shall cooperate in good faith to make reasonable arrangements for such access and inspection in a manner that does not interfere with the ability of the Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party to commence or take an Enforcement Action with respect to such Senior Collateral (it being further understood that the Senior Secured Parties (A) shall not be required to incur any expense in connection with any such request for access, and (B) shall have no obligation to compile, organize, or otherwise prepare in any manner, any Senior Collateral prior to any access or inspection; provided further, however, that nothing in this Section 3.2 shall impose any obligations on any Grantor or shall require any Grantor to reimburse any Secured Party for any fees, costs, or expenses incurred in connection with the engagement or retention of any such third parties, except as provided in the ABL Documents or Term Loan Documents, as applicable.

3.3Judgment Creditors.  In the event that any Term Loan Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Liens and the ABL Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.  In the event that any ABL Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Term Loan Liens and the Term Loan Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.4Cooperation; Sharing of Information and Access.  (a) The Term Loan Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that each of them shall take such actions as the ABL Representative shall request in connection with the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein in respect of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.  The ABL Representative, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that each of them shall take such actions as the Term Loan Representative shall request in connection with the exercise by the Term Loan Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(b)In the event that the ABL Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Security Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Representative shall promptly notify the Term Loan Representative of such fact and, upon request from the Term Loan Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Term Loan Representative such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Term Loan Representative copies thereof.  In the event that the Term Loan Representative shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term Loan Security Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Representative shall promptly notify the ABL Representative of such fact and, upon request from the ABL Representative and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Representative such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Representative copies thereof. 

(c)If the Term Loan Representative, or any agent or representative of the Term Loan Representative, or any receiver, shall, after the commencement of any Enforcement Action, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Specified Premises (or sells or otherwise transfers any of the Specified Premises to a third party purchaser or transferee without first obtaining possession or physical control), the Term Loan Representative shall promptly notify the ABL Representative in writing of that fact, and the ABL Representative shall, within ten Business Days thereafter, notify the Term Loan Representative in writing as to whether the ABL Representative desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement.  In addition, if the ABL Representative, or any agent or representative of the ABL Representative, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Specified Premises in connection with an Enforcement Action, then the ABL Representative shall promptly notify the Term Loan Representative that the ABL Representative is exercising its access rights under this Agreement. 

Under either circumstance, upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Representative to the Term Loan Representative, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Representative’s exercise of such access rights, with such access rights to apply to any Real Property constituting Specified Premises access to which is reasonably necessary to enable the ABL Representative during normal business hours to monitor, audit and collect Accounts and/or to arrange or effect the sale of ABL Facility Priority Collateral, all in accordance with the manner in which such matters are completed in the ordinary course of business.  Consistent with the definition of Access Period, access rights will apply to differing parcels of Specified Premises at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such parcel of Specified Premises.  During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Representative and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the relevant Real Property constituting Specified Premises for the purposes described above.

(d)The ABL Representative shall take proper and reasonable care of any Specified Premises that is used by the ABL Representative during the Access Period and shall repair at its expense (without waiving any rights of reimbursement from the Grantors) and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by any act or omission of the ABL Representative or its agents, representatives or designees and leave such Specified Premises in a condition substantially similar (ordinary wear and tear excepted) to the condition of such Specified Premises immediately prior to the date of commencement of the use thereof by the ABL Representative.  The ABL Representative shall comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy or possession of the Specified Premises.  The ABL Representative shall indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Representative and the Term Loan Creditors for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control.  The ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges that, during the period any Specified Premises shall be under control or possession of the Term Loan Representative or the other Term Loan Creditors, the Term Loan Representatives and other Term Loan Creditors shall not be obligated to take any action to protect or to procure insurance with respect to any ABL Facility Priority Collateral that may be located on or in the Specified Premises, it being understood that the Term Loan Representative and other Term Loan Creditors shall have no responsibility for loss or damage to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Term Loan Representative and/or the other Term Loan Creditors or their agents) and that risk of loss or damage to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral shall remain with the ABL Representative and the ABL Secured Parties. 

(e)The ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Term Loan Representative to show the Specified Premises to prospective purchasers and to ready the Specified Premises for sale.  Consistent with the definition of the term Access Period, if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Representative from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL Representative under this Section 3.4 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.4.  If any Specified Premises are

sold or otherwise transferred to a third party purchaser or transferee, then, solely to the extent any books or records related to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral are located on such Specified Premises, the Term Loan Representative shall expressly condition such sale or other transfer on such purchaser’s or transferee’s agreement to grant the ABL Representative the access rights otherwise applicable pursuant to this Agreement.

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

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

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

Section 4.Application of Proceeds and Other Agreements.

4.1Application of Proceeds.

(a)Application of Proceeds of Senior Collateral.  Subject to clause (d) below, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Senior Representative and Junior Representative hereby agree that all Senior Collateral, and all Proceeds thereof, received by either of them in connection with the collection, sale or disposition of Senior Collateral by such Senior Representative or Junior Representative constituting an Enforcement Action shall be applied,

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

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

third, to the payment of the Junior Obligations in accordance with the Junior Documents until the Junior Obligations Payment Date, and

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

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

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

(d)Mixed Collateral Proceeds.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or in the definition of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or Term Loan Priority Collateral, in the event that proceeds of Common Collateral are received from (or are otherwise attributable to the value of) a sale or other disposition of Common Collateral that involves a combination of ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, the portion of such proceeds that shall be allocated as proceeds of ABL Facility Priority Collateral for purposes of this Agreement shall be an amount equal to the net book value of such ABL Facility Priority Collateral (except in the case of Accounts which amount shall be equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the net book value of such Accounts), with the balance of the proceeds allocated as proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or in the definition of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral or Term Loan Priority Collateral, to the extent proceeds of Collateral are proceeds received from (or are otherwise attributable to the value of) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of any Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower which is a Grantor or all or substantially all of the assets of any such Subsidiary, such proceeds shall constitute (1) first, in an amount equal to eighty-five percent (85%) of the net book value of the Accounts and the net book value of all other ABL Facility Priority Collateral owned by such Subsidiary at the time of such sale, ABL

Facility Priority Collateral and (2) second, to the extent in excess of the amounts described in preceding clause (1), Term Loan Priority Collateral.

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

4.3Insurance.  Proceeds of Common Collateral include insurance proceeds with respect to the Common Collateral and therefore the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of such casualty insurance proceeds.  The ABL Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Loan Representative, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Facility Priority Collateral.  The Term Loan Representative shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Representative, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Term Loan Priority Collateral.  If, and to the extent of, any loss under an insurance policy that covers both ABL Facility Priority Collateral and Term Loan Priority Collateral, the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative shall work jointly in good faith to adjust or settle under the applicable insurance policy.  To the extent any insurance proceeds are received for business interruption or for any liability or indemnification and those proceeds are not compensation for a casualty loss with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, such proceeds shall first be applied to the Term Loan Obligations and then to the ABL Obligations.  Each of the Term Loan Representative and ABL Representative shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1.

4.4Option to Purchase ABL Obligations. 

(a)Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan Secured Parties (or any of them) (in each case, an “Eligible ABL Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the ABL Secured Parties under the ABL Documents), at any time during the exercise period described in Section 4.4(c), all, but not less than all, of the ABL Obligations (other than the ABL Obligations of a Defaulting ABL Creditor), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all ABL Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase.  Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 4.4(b) from an Eligible ABL Purchaser, the ABL Secured Parties shall have no further obligation under this Section 4.4 to sell the ABL Obligations to any other Eligible ABL Purchaser thereafter providing notice under Section 4.4(b).  Any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) shall be made as follows:

(i)for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute ABL Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur (including any prepayment or acceleration penalties or premiums), (B) in the case of any Bank Product Obligations in respect of any Hedging Agreement constituting ABL Obligations, the net aggregate amount then owing to each Hedging Agreement provider thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Hedging Agreement, including without limitation all amounts owing to such Hedging Agreement provider as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, (C) in the case of any Bank Product Obligations (other than those in respect of any Hedging Agreement) constituting ABL Obligations, the net aggregate amount then owing to each provider of Bank Products in respect thereof, including without limitation all amounts owing to such provider of Bank Products as a result of the termination (or early termination) of such Bank Product Obligations, plus (D) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts through the date of purchase; and (y) an obligation on the part of the respective Eligible ABL Purchasers (which shall be expressly provided in the assignment documentation described below) to reimburse each issuing lender (or any ABL Secured Party required to pay the same) for all amounts thereafter drawn with respect to any letters of credit constituting ABL Obligations which remain outstanding after the date of any purchase pursuant to this Section 4.4, together with all fronting fees and other amounts which may at any future time be owing to the respective issuing lender with respect to such letters of credit;

(ii)with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(i)(x) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers (without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any ABL Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any ABL Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representations and warranties that (A) the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens (other than participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Documents, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(i)(x) shall

be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect except to the extent that the Eligible ABL Purchasers expressly assume the obligations under such participation interests), (B) the transferor has the right to convey whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the ABL Obligations and (C) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the ABL Obligations being purchased, and the fees and expenses thereof owed to the respective ABL Secured Party, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the ABL Obligations; provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter of credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such letter of credit is drawn upon (1) first, from the cash collateral account described in clause (a)(iii) below, until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (2) thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers;

(iii)except with respect to any letters of credit that are backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable issuing Bank, with such purchase accompanied by a deposit of cash collateral under the sole dominion and control of the ABL Representative or its designee in an amount equal to 103% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit pursuant to the ABL Documents and the aggregate fronting and similar fees which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the letters of credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), as security for the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser's or Eligible ABL Purchasers' obligation to pay amounts as provided in preceding clause (a)(i)(y), it being understood and agreed that (x) at the time any fronting or similar fees are owing to an issuer with respect to any letter of credit, the ABL Representative may apply amounts deposited with it as described above to pay the same, (y) upon any drawing under any letter of credit, the ABL Representative shall apply amounts deposited with it as described above to repay the respective unpaid drawing and any customary fees charged by the issuer in connection with such draws and (z) the Eligible ABL Purchasers shall have no obligation to provide any additional cash collateral for any letters of credit that have already been fully cash collateralized prior to the time the Eligible ABL Purchasers deliver a purchase notice.  After giving effect to any payment made as described above in this clause (iii), those amounts (if any) then on deposit with the ABL Representative as described in this clause (iii) which exceed 103% of the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding letters of credit and the aggregate fronting and similar fees (to the respective issuers) which will accrue thereon through the stated maturity of the then outstanding letters of credit (assuming no drawings thereon before stated maturity), shall be returned to the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers (as their interests appear).  Furthermore, at such time as all letters of credit have been cancelled, expired or been fully drawn, as the case may be, and after all applications described above have been made, any excess cash collateral deposited as described above in this clause (iii) (and not previously applied or released as provided above) shall be returned to the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers, as their interests appear;

(iv)with the purchase price described in preceding clause (a)(i)(x) accompanied by a waiver by the Term Loan Representative (on behalf of itself and the

other Term Loan Secured Parties) of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 4.4;

(v)with all amounts payable to the various ABL Secured Parties in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the ABL Representative in accordance with their respective holdings of the various ABL Obligations; and

(vi)with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to all parties thereto (with the reasonable and documented cost of counsel to the ABL Representative in respect of preparing, reviewing and/or finalizing such documentation to be paid by the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers); it being understood and agreed that the ABL Representative and each other ABL Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant ABL Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.4.  The relevant assignment documentation shall also provide that, if for any reason (other than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the ABL Representative), the amount of cash collateral held by the ABL Representative or its designee pursuant to preceding clause (a)(iii) is at any time less than the full amounts owing with respect to any letter of credit described above (including fronting and similar fees), then the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers shall promptly reimburse ABL Representative (who shall pay the respective issuing bank) the amount of the deficiency.

(b)The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 4.4(a) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible ABL Purchaser or Eligible ABL Purchasers and shall specify a date of purchase not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than 30 Business Days, after receipt by ABL Representative of such notice) given to ABL Representative by an Eligible ABL Purchaser.  Neither the ABL Representative nor any other ABL Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible ABL Purchaser, the Term Loan Representative or any other Term Loan Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.

(c)The right to purchase the ABL Obligations as described in this Section 4.4 may be exercised, by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding subsection (b), during each of the periods that (i) begins on the date occurring three (3) Business Days after the first to occur of (v) the date an Event of Default (as defined in the applicable ABL Document) resulting from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries failing to pay an amount owed to the ABL Secured Parties when due has occurred, (w) the date an Event of Default resulting from a breach of a financial covenant or a negative covenant under the ABL Documents has occurred and is continuing for 20 calendar days without waiver or cure, (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans constituting ABL Obligations, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans constituting ABL Obligations or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor that constitutes an event of default under the ABL Documents (in the case of preceding clauses (v) through (y), so long as the acceleration, Event of Default, or failure

to pay amounts due at final maturity has not been rescinded or cured, as the case may be, within such three (3) Business Day Period, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting ABL Obligations remain owing) and (ii) ends on the 60th day after the start of the applicable period described above.

(d)The obligations of the ABL Secured Parties to sell their respective ABL Obligations under this Section 4.4  are several and not joint and several.  To the extent any ABL Secured Party (a “Defaulting ABL Creditor”) breaches its obligation to sell its ABL Obligations under this Section 4.4 nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to require the ABL Representative or any other ABL Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting ABL Creditor’s ABL Obligations for resale to the holders of Term Loan Obligations and in all cases, the ABL Representative and each ABL Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 4.4 shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting ABL Creditor; provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall require any Eligible ABL Purchaser to purchase less than all of the ABL Obligations.

(e)Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible ABL Purchasers pursuant to this Section 4.4 for purposes of all ABL Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent from such Grantor shall be required.

Section 5.Insolvency Proceedings.

5.1Filing of Motions.  (i) Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Term Loan Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties that no Term Loan Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the ABL Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the ABL Representative (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other ABL Secured Party in respect of any ABL Collateral or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that the Term Loan Representative may (a) propose, support or prosecute any matter with respect to the Term Loan DIP Financing (as defined in Section 5.2(b)), (b) file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, and (c) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition of any motion or other pleadings made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the ABL Collateral, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Term Loan Representative imposed hereby.

(ii)Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the ABL Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties that no ABL Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Term Loan Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the Term Loan Representative (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other Term Loan Secured Party in respect of any Term Loan Collateral or the value of any claims of such parties

under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that the ABL Representative may (a) propose, support or prosecute any matter with respect to the ABL DIP Financing (as defined in Section 5.2(a)), (b) file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, and (c) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition of any motion or other pleadings made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the ABL Secured Parties on the ABL Collateral.

5.2Financing Matters.  (a) If any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the ABL Obligations Payment Date, and if the ABL Representative or the other ABL Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of ABL Facility Priority Collateral constituting cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Grantor by any third party secured by all or a portion of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (any such financing, “ABL DIP Financing”), then the Term Loan Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, that each Term Loan Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such ABL DIP Financing on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Term Loan Representative’s Lien on the Term Loan Collateral to secure the Term Loan Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such ABL DIP Financing) and (ii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Term Loan Liens on any ABL Facility Priority Collateral (A) to such ABL DIP Financing (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection provided to the ABL Secured Parties and (C) to any “carve-out” for professional fees and customary fees and expenses agreed to by the ABL Representative or the other ABL Secured Parties and approved by the bankruptcy court, so long as (w) the aggregate principal amount of the ABL DIP Financing plus the principal amount of outstanding loans and face amount of outstanding letters of credit under the ABL Agreement does not exceed the ABL Cap Amount, (x) the Term Loan Representative retains its Lien on the Term Loan Collateral to secure the Term Loan Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and, as to the Term Loan Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and any Lien securing such ABL DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the Term Loan Representative on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, (y) all Liens on ABL Facility Priority Collateral securing any such ABL DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Representative and the other ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Facility Priority Collateral and (z) if the ABL Representative receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL Obligations, and such replacement or adequate protection Lien is on any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, (1) such replacement or adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets which are part of the Term Loan Priority Collateral (the “Term Loan Post-Petition Assets”) is junior and subordinate to the Lien in favor of the Term Loan Representative on the Term Loan Priority Collateral and (2) the Term Loan Representative also receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on such Term Loan Post-Petition Assets of the debtor to secure the Term Loan Obligations.  In no event will any of the ABL Secured Parties seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the Term Loan Priority Collateral and nothing contained

herein shall be deemed to be a consent by the Term Loan Secured Parties to any adequate protection payments using Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(b)If any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, and if the Term Loan Representative or the other Term Loan Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of Term Loan Priority Collateral constituting cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Grantor by any third party secured by all or a portion of the Term Loan Priority Collateral (any such financing, “Term Loan DIP Financing”), then the ABL Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, that each ABL Secured Party will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to such Term Loan DIP Financing on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the ABL Representative’s Lien on the ABL Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such Term Loan DIP Financing), so long as the ABL Representative retains its Lien on the ABL Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and, as to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority with respect to the Term Loan Collateral as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and any Lien securing such Term Loan DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Representative on the ABL Facility Priority Collateral.  In no event will any of the Term Loan Secured Parties seek to obtain a priming Lien on any of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a consent by the ABL Secured Parties to any adequate protection payments using ABL Facility Priority Collateral. 

(c)All Liens granted to the Term Loan Representative or the ABL Representative in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.  If the Term Loan Representative receives a replacement or adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Term Loan Obligations, and such replacement or adequate protection Lien is on any of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral (the “Specified Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens”), then the Term Loan Representative shall (i) not object to, nor support any other Person objecting to, any request by the ABL Representative to the applicable bankruptcy court to provide replacement or adequate protection Liens on such post-petition assets which are part of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral in favor of the ABL Representative (for the benefit  of the ABL Secured Parties) to secure the ABL Obligations (the “Specified ABL Adequate Protection Liens”) and (ii) to the extent the applicable bankruptcy court approves such Specified ABL Adequate Protection Liens, subordinate the Specified Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens to the Specified ABL Adequate Protection Liens on terms mutually and reasonably agreed between the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative.

5.3Relief From the Automatic Stay.  Until the ABL Obligations Payment Date, the Term Loan Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, that none of them will seek (or support any other Person in seeking) relief from the automatic

stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any ABL Facility Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Representative.  Until the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, the ABL Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other ABL Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Representative.  In addition, neither the Term Loan Representative nor the ABL Representative shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Common Collateral without providing 30 days’ prior written notice to the other, unless otherwise agreed by both the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative.

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

(ii)The ABL Representative, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Term Loan Representative or any Term Loan Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral, or (b) any objection by the Term Loan Representative or any Term Loan Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the Term Loan Representative or any Term Loan Secured Party that its interests in the Term Loan Priority Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding).

5.5Avoidance Issues.  If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto.  The Junior Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall

instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

5.6Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. 

(a)Neither the Junior Representative nor any other Junior Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Senior Collateral that is supported by the Senior Representative, and the Junior Representative and each other Junior Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Senior Collateral supported by the Senior Representative and to have released their Liens on such assets.  Neither the ABL Representative nor any other ABL Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Term Loan Priority Collateral, and the ABL Representative and each other ABL Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Term Loan Priority Collateral.

(b)The Term Loan Representative agrees that it shall not object to or otherwise contest the exercise by the ABL Representative of any credit bid rights under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other similar provision of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to any disposition of the ABL Facility Priority Collateral, and the ABL Representative agrees that it shall not object to or otherwise contest the exercise by the Term Loan Representative of any credit bid rights under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any other similar provision of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to any disposition of the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

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

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

5.9Reorganization Securities.  If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

5.10Certain Waivers as to Section 1111(b)(2) of Bankruptcy Code.  With respect to any matters relating to the Term Loan Priority Collateral prior to the discharge of the Term Loan Obligations, the ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, waives any claim any ABL Secured Party may hereafter have against any Term Loan Secured Party arising out of the election by any Term Loan Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  With respect to any matters relating to the ABL Facility Priority Collateral prior to the discharge of the ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Loan Secured Parties, waives any claim any Term Loan Secured Party may hereafter have against any ABL Secured Party arising out of the election by any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

9.2Further Assurances.  Each of the Term Loan Representative and the ABL Representative will, at the Grantors’ expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the other party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the ABL Representative or the Term Loan Representative to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided,  however, that no party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 9.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other Requirement of Law or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 9.2.

9.3Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Document or any Term Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent of such conflict.

9.4Continuing Nature of Provisions.  Subject to Section 5.5, this Agreement shall continue to be effective, and shall not be revocable by any party hereto, until the earlier of (a) the ABL Obligations Payment Date and (b) the Term Loan Obligations Payment Date.  This is a continuing agreement and the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any Grantor on the faith hereof.

9.5Amendments; Waivers.  (a) No amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative.  Each Grantor agrees that this Agreement may be amended or modified by the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative without notice to, or the consent of, any Grantor, provided that no Grantor shall be bound by any such amendment or modification that directly and materially affects the rights or duties of such Grantor.

(b)It is understood that the ABL Representative and the Term Loan Representative, without the consent of any other ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations (“Additional Debt”) of any of the Grantors become ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement,

which supplemental agreement shall specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, provided, that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred by the ABL Agreement and Term Loan Agreement then extant, and is permitted by said Agreements to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as applicable.

9.6Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Grantors.  The Term Loan Representative and the ABL Representative hereby agree that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding the financial condition of the Grantors or any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations (except as otherwise provided in the ABL Documents and Term Loan Documents).  In the event the Term Loan Representative or the ABL Representative, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information.

9.7Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that remedies provided by the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York are governed by the laws of such jurisdiction.

9.8Submission to Jurisdiction; JURY TRIAL WAIVER.  (a) The ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Secured Party, the Term Loan Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each such party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any ABL Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)The ABL Representative, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Secured Party, the Term Loan Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so (i) any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section and (ii) the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.

(c)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.9.  Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS.  EACH PARTY HERETO REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

9.9Notices.  Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, or sent by overnight express courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy or five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail (certified, with postage prepaid and properly addressed).  For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 9.9) shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereof, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties.

9.10Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and each of the ABL Secured Parties and Term Loan Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral.

9.11Headings.  Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

9.12Severability.  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.

9.13Other Remedies.  For avoidance of doubt, it is understood that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any ABL Secured Party or any Term Loan Secured Party from exercising any available remedy to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness or other obligations owing under the ABL Documents or the Term Loan Documents, as applicable, or to demand payment under any guarantee in respect thereof.

9.14Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each party hereto.

9.15Additional Grantors.  Borrower shall cause each Person that becomes a Grantor after the date hereof to become a party to this Agreement by execution and delivery by such Person of a Joinder Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.
