(I)    Sharing of Set-offs
(a)    If, at any time, any Creditor shall obtain any payment in respect of any Obligation held by it as the result of the exercise of any right of set-off (a “Set-off Payment”), such Creditor shall share the payment so obtained in accordance with clause (I)(b) of this Section 2A, regardless of (i) the amount thereof or (ii) whether such payment was obtained from the Company, a Domestic Subsidiary, a Foreign Subsidiary or any other Person; provided, however, (A) this clause (I)(a) shall not apply to a Set-off Payment received in respect of regularly scheduled payments of interest or fees under the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the Bank Second Amendment and (B) clause (I)(c), rather than this clause (I)(a) or clause (I)(b) shall apply to any Set-off Payment the sharing of which with one or more other Creditors would, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, result in adverse tax consequences to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code (any such Set-off Payment, a “Foreign Set-off Payment”).
(b)    Subject to clause (I)(c) of this Section 2A, any Creditor obtaining a Set-off Payment (whether before or after the occurrence of a Notice Date) shall pay the amount thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon its receipt thereof, apply such amount to the payments specified in clauses First through Eighth of Section 2(a) in the order of priority set forth therein. Any amount distributed or to be distributed pursuant to this clause (I)(b) in respect of L/C Obligations shall be subject to the terms of Section 2(b).
(c)    If any Creditor obtains a Foreign Set-off Payment, it shall pay the amount thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall, promptly upon its receipt thereof, apply such amount to the payments specified in clauses First through Eighth of Section 2(a) in the order of priority set forth therein, except that it shall not pay any portion of such amount to any Creditor (a “Non-Receiving Creditor”) if such payment would, in its reasonable opinion or the reasonable opinion of the Company, result in adverse tax consequences to the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 956 of the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that any substantially contemporaneous or subsequent payments pursuant to clause (I)(b) of this Section 2A shall be made in such manner that, after giving effect thereto, each Creditor will have received (to the extent possible) the amount that it would have received had each Foreign Set-off Payment been applied as provided in clause (I)(b) of this Section 2A (the amount of the adjustment required to be made under this proviso at any time in the payment to be made to all Non-Receiving Creditors under clause (I)(b) of this Section 2A being referred to as the “Set-off Payment Deficiency”). Section 2(f) shall not apply to Set-off Payments except to the extent that, at any time when a Noteholder Catch-up Payment is





being calculated and a Set-off Payment Deficiency exists, such Noteholder Catch-up Payment shall be calculated taking into account the amount of such Set-off Payment Deficiency and any payments of such Set-Off Payment Deficiency.
(d)    At any time when a Set-off Payment Deficiency exists, the Majority Noteholder Creditors shall have the right to instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise any available right of set-off against any bank account of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary Guarantor in order to recover an amount equal to the Set-off Payment Deficiency.
(e)    Each Creditor agrees to cooperate fully with each other Creditor and the Collateral Agent to implement the provisions of this Section 2A(I) including, without limitation, disclosing all relevant details of Set-off Payments received by it.
(f)    This clause (I) shall cease to apply on and after a Notice Date until the corresponding Trigger Event ceases to exist and any payments to which this clause would otherwise apply shall be applied as provided in Section 2(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement, provided that paragraph (d) (and the definition of “Set-off Payment Deficiency” in paragraph (c)) of this clause (I) shall remain in effect.
(g)    For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise of any right of set-off (and the corresponding receipt of a Set-off Payment) by any Creditor shall not constitute a Trigger Event except to the extent provided in the definition of such term.
(II)    Voluntary and Mandatory Prepayments.
(a)    Any mandatory prepayment of the Obligations from a Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iii) or (iv) of the Credit Agreement or Section 8.7(a) of the Note Agreement, in each case as in effect on the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the Bank Second Amendment and the Note Second Amendment, respectively, shall be applied as follows: first in direct order to (i) Swingline Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date, (iii) LIBOR Rate Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date in direct order of Interest Period maturities and (iv) to a Cash Collateral account in respect of L/C Obligations (which Cash Collateral shall be limited to the amount by which all L/C Obligations exceed the Letters of Credit Threshold) issued or incurred since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date and second, to the Obligations of each Creditor based on such Creditor's Pro Rata Share of the remaining amount of such mandatory prepayment.

(b) Any voluntary prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(v) of the Credit Agreement or Section 8.7(b) of the Note Agreement, in each case as in effect on the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to the Bank Second Amendment and the Note Second Amendment, respectively, shall be applied as follows: first in direct order to (i) Swingline Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date, (ii) Alternate Base Rate Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date, (iii) LIBOR Rate Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date in direct order of Interest Period maturities and (iv) to a Cash Collateral account in respect of L/C Obligations (which Cash Collateral shall be limited to the amount by which all L/C Obligations exceed the Letters of Credit Threshold) issued or incurred since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date and second, to the Obligations of each Creditor based on such Creditor's Pro Rata Share of the remaining amount of such voluntary prepayment.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, Loans outstanding prior to the Intercreditor





Agreement Amendment Effective Date that are extended into a subsequent Interest Period or are converted into another Type in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement shall not be considered new Loans made since the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date for purposes of this Section 2A(II).
(d)    To the extent that, at any time, any Creditor believes it has received a smaller proportionate share of the payments of a particular priority than that to which it was entitled as of such time under this Section 2A(II), taking into account payments made to other Creditors, then such Creditor may notify the Collateral Agent of such belief and the Collateral Agent shall thereupon request all Creditors to report to the Collateral Agent the aggregate amount of payments made to them under this Section 2A(II) as of such time (and all Creditors agree to respond to such request promptly and accurately). The Collateral Agent shall then instruct all Creditors, as soon as commercially practicable, as to the payments to be made among them in order to give effect to this Section 2A(II). In the absence of manifest error, such instructions shall be binding on all Creditors, each of which hereby agrees to make such payments as soon as reasonably possible after receipt of such instructions and in accordance therewith. Any request for information made pursuant to this clause (d) to the Creditors by the Collateral Agent may be made, with respect to the Lenders, to the Administrative Agent.
(e)    This clause (II) shall cease to apply on and after a Notice Date until the corresponding Trigger Event ceases to exist and any payments to which this clause would otherwise apply shall be applied as provided in Section 2(a) and the other provisions of this Agreement.
(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, none of the mandatory or voluntary prepayments referred to in this Section 2A(II) constitute a Trigger Event.
(i)The first sentence of Section 5(a) of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
All moneys received by the Collateral Agent (in such capacity) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be held for the parties entitled to such moneys pursuant to this Agreement and shall be dealt with in accordance with this Agreement, and either (i) the Collateral Agent shall segregate such moneys from any other moneys held by the Collateral Agent and hold such moneys in an interest bearing account of the Collateral Agent or (ii) with respect to any such moneys to be applied to Priority Bank Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall make such other reasonable arrangements as shall give effect to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(a) hereof).
(j)The definition of “Pledge Agreement” in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement is hereby deleted and each other reference to the Pledge Agreement in the Existing Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to “one or more of the Security Documents.”
(k)Immediately after each reference to gross negligence and willful misconduct in Sections 8(b)(iii), 8(b)(v), 8(b)(vii) and 8(c)(ii) of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement, the phrase “as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction” shall be inserted.
(l)A new sentence is hereby added to the end of Section 9(f) of the Existing Intercreditor Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:
For the avoidance of doubt, a refinancing of the Credit Party Obligations under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment Effective Date (after giving to the Bank Second Amendment) shall be deemed to be a transfer of the Obligations owing to the Lenders to the parties providing such refinancing for purposes of this Section 9(f).
