(a) Each Agent agrees to hold any Collateral that is in the possession or control of such Agent (or its agents or bailees), to the extent that possession or control thereof is necessary to perfect a Lien thereon under the Uniform Commercial Code (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged Collateral”), as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the other Agent solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien granted to the other Agent in such Pledged Collateral (including, but not limited to, any securities or any deposit accounts or securities accounts, if any) pursuant to the Revolving Loan Documents or Notes Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.

(b) Until the Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt has occurred, Revolving Loan Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral constituting Revolving Loan Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Loan Documents. The rights of Notes Agent to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to Revolving Loan Agent’s rights under the Revolving Loan Documents. Until the Discharge of Notes Debt has occurred, Notes Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents. The rights of Revolving Loan Agent to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to Notes Agent’s rights under the Notes Documents.

(c) Each Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other Agent or any other Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5. The duties or responsibilities of each Agent under this Section 5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the other Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the other Agent.

(d) Each Agent shall not have by reason of the Revolving Loan Documents, the Notes Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Agent or any of the other Secured Parties and shall not have any liability to the other Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with its holding the Pledged Collateral, other than as expressly provided for herein and other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.2 Transfer of Pledged Collateral.

(a) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable law, upon the request of Notes Agent, Revolving Loan Agent shall, without recourse or warranty, transfer the possession and control of the Pledged Collateral, if any, then in its possession or control to Notes Agent, except in the event and to the extent (i) Revolving Loan Agent or any other Revolving Loan Secured Party has retained or otherwise acquired such Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any of the Revolving Loan Debt, (ii) such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by Revolving Loan Agent or any other Revolving Loan Secured Party or by a Grantor as provided herein or (iii) it is otherwise required by any order of any court or other governmental authority or applicable law or would result in the risk of liability of Revolving Loan Secured Party to any third party. The foregoing provision shall not impose on Revolving Loan Agent or any other Revolving Loan Secured Party any obligations which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. In connection with any transfer described herein to Notes Agent, Revolving Loan Agent agrees to take reasonable actions in its power (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be for the account of Notes Agent and to be paid by B&L Supply) as shall be reasonably requested by Notes Agent to permit Notes Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

(b) Upon the Discharge of Notes Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable law, upon the request of Revolving Loan Agent, Notes Agent shall, without recourse or warranty, transfer the possession and control of the Pledged Collateral, if any, then in its possession or control to Revolving Loan Agent, except in the event and to the extent (i) Notes Agent or any other Notes Secured Party has retained or otherwise acquired such Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any of the Notes Debt, (ii) such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by Notes Agent or any other Notes Secured Party or by a Grantor as provided herein or (iii) it is otherwise required by any order of any court or other governmental authority or applicable law or would result in the risk of liability of Notes Secured Party to any third party. The foregoing provision shall not impose on Notes Agent or any other Notes Secured Party any obligations which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. In connection with any transfer described herein to Revolving Loan Agent, Notes Agent agrees to take reasonable actions in its power (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be for the account of Revolving Loan Agent and to be paid by B&L Supply) as shall be reasonably requested by Revolving Loan Agent to permit Revolving Loan Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

5.3 Deposit Accounts. In the case of any deposit accounts subject to Deposit Account Control Agreements (as such term is defined in the Revolving Loan Documents), after the occurrence of the Discharge of the Revolving Loan Debt, and to the extent that the Notes Debt remains outstanding, Revolving Loan Agent agrees, at the request of Notes Agent and at the expense of Grantors, to, with respect to deposit accounts, promptly deliver written notice to the bank at which deposit accounts are maintained that (a) such account(s) remain subject to a Lien in favor of Notes Agent and Revolving Loan Agent is no longer the “Agent” or “Lender Representative” (as the case may be) or otherwise entitled to act under such agreement, and (b) from the date of such notice and at all times thereafter until the Discharge of Notes Debt or Notes Agent instructs the bank at which the deposit account is maintained otherwise, that Notes Agent is to be deemed the “Agent” for all purposes in connection with such agreement and that the bank is to follow the directions of Notes Agent for all purposes in connection with such deposit accounts.

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings

6.1 Post Petition Financing; Cash Collateral.

(a) Following the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, if such Grantor as debtor-in-possession (or a trustee appointed on behalf of such Grantor) shall move for either (i) within the first ten (10) Business Days following such commencement (the “Revolving Loan DIP Offer Period”), approval of financing (“Revolver DIP Financing”) to be provided by any Revolving Loan Secured Party under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) at any time, the use of cash collateral proceeds of the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral (the “Revolving Loan Cash Collateral”) with the consent of the Revolving Loan Agent under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Notes Secured Parties agree as follows: (A) such Revolver DIP Financing (including any Revolving Loan Debt which arose prior to the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) may be secured by Liens on all or a part of the assets of the Grantors which may be superior in priority to the Liens on the assets of the Grantors held by any other Person (so long as any such Lien for the Revolver DIP Financing secured by the Notes Priority Collateral is subordinate to the Lien of Notes Agent on the Notes Priority Collateral securing any Notes Debt), and (B) the Notes Secured Parties shall not contest or oppose in any manner such Revolver DIP Financing or Revolving Loan Cash Collateral use and shall be deemed to have waived any objections to such financing or cash collateral use, including by any objection alleging Grantors’ failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Notes Secured Parties or otherwise, as long as (1) the Notes Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Revolver DIP Financing and the existing Liens in favor of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties on the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral but senior to the Liens of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties on the Notes Priority Collateral to the same extent as provided under Section 2.2), (2) the Notes Secured Parties receive a replacement Lien on post-petition assets, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Revolver DIP Financing, the existing Liens in favor of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties on the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral and any replacement Liens granted to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, in each case, with respect to the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, but senior to the Lien of Revolving Loan Secured Parties on the Notes Priority Collateral to the extent under Section 2.2); provided, that, the inability of the Notes Secured Parties to receive a Lien on actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or proceeds thereof shall not affect the agreements and waivers set forth in this clause (2)), (3) the aggregate principal amount of loans and face amount of extant letter of credit obligations outstanding under such Revolver DIP Financing, together with the outstanding Revolving Loan Debt, shall not exceed the Maximum Priority Revolving Loan Debt plus the DIP Financing Cap Amount, (4) such Revolver DIP Financing or use of Revolving Loan Cash Collateral is subject to the terms of this Agreement, (5) the interest rate, fees, advance rates and sublimits of any such Revolver DIP Financing are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and (6) the documentation and court orders governing the use of Revolving Loan Cash Collateral or Revolver DIP Financing do not expressly require the liquidation and/or sale of all or a material portion of the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral.

(b) Following the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, if, from and after the termination of the Revolving Loan DIP Offer Period (if no final documentation of any Revolver DIP Financing has been executed and become effective prior to that date), such Grantor as debtor-in-possession (or a trustee appointed on behalf of such Grantor) moves for either (i) approval of financing (“Notes DIP Financing”) to be provided by any Notes Secured Party under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) the use of cash collateral proceeds of the Notes Priority Collateral (the “Notes Cash Collateral”) with the consent of the Notes Agent under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Revolving Loan Secured Parties agree as follows: (A) such Notes DIP Financing (including any Notes Debt which arose prior to the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) may be secured by Liens on all or a part of the assets of the Grantors which may be superior in priority to the Liens on the assets of the Grantors held by any other Person (so long as any such Lien for the Notes DIP Financing secured by the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral is subordinate to the Lien of Revolving Loan Agent on the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral securing any Revolving Loan Debt (other than the principal amount thereof that exceeds the Maximum Priority Revolving Loan Debt)), and (B) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall not contest or oppose in any manner such Notes DIP Financing or Notes Cash Collateral use and shall be deemed to have waived any objections to such financing or cash collateral use, including by any objection alleging Grantors’ failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties or otherwise, as long as (1) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Notes DIP Financing and the existing Liens in favor of the Notes Secured Parties on the Notes Priority Collateral but senior to the Liens of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties on the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral to the same extent as provided under Section 2.2), (2) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties receive a replacement Lien on post-petition assets, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code (junior in priority to the Liens securing such Notes DIP Financing, the existing Liens in favor of the Notes Secured Parties on the Notes Priority Collateral and any replacement Liens granted to the Notes Secured Parties, in each case, with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, but senior to the Lien of Notes Secured Parties on the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral to the extent under Section 2.2); provided, that, the inability of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties to receive a Lien on actions under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or proceeds thereof shall not affect the agreements and waivers set forth in this clause (2)), (3) such Notes DIP Financing or use of Notes Cash Collateral is subject to the terms of this Agreement, (4) the interest rate, fees, advance rates and sublimits of any such Notes DIP Financing are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and (5) the documentation and court orders governing the use of Notes Cash Collateral or Notes DIP Financing do not expressly require the liquidation and/or sale of all or a material portion of the Notes Priority Collateral.

6.2 Adequate Protection. The Notes Secured Parties may seek adequate protection of their interests in the Notes Priority Collateral in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien, if granted, will be senior or subordinate to the Liens securing the Revolving Loan Debt on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Debt are so senior or subordinated under this Agreement (provided, that, any failure of the Notes Secured Parties to obtain such adequate protection shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings and consents of the Notes Secured Parties pursuant to Section 6.1(a)). The Revolving Loan Secured Parties may seek adequate protection of their interests in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien, if granted, will be senior or subordinate to the Liens securing the Notes Debt on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Revolving Loan Debt are so senior or subordinated under this Agreement (provided, that, any failure of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties to obtain such adequate protection shall not impair or otherwise affect the agreements, undertakings and consents of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties pursuant to Section 6.1(b)). In the event any Notes Secured Party seeks or requests such adequate protection in respect of Liens on Revolving Loan Priority Collateral securing Notes Debt, then (a) such adequate protection shall be limited to a Lien on additional or replacement Collateral, and (b) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties may seek and obtain, and each Notes Secured Party hereby consents to the granting of, a Lien on such additional or replacement Collateral as security for the Revolving Loan Debt and such Lien securing Revolving Loan Debt shall be senior in priority to the Notes Secured Parties’ Lien on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Revolving Loan Debt are senior to the Notes Secured Parties’ Liens under this Agreement. In the event any Revolving Loan Secured Party seeks or requests such adequate protection in respect of Liens on Notes Priority Collateral securing Revolving Loan Debt, then (i) such adequate protection shall be limited to a Lien on additional or replacement Collateral, and (ii) the Notes Secured Parties may seek and obtain, and each Revolving Loan Secured Party hereby consents to the granting of, a Lien on such additional or replacement Collateral as security for the Notes Debt and such Lien securing Notes Debt shall be senior in priority to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties’ Lien on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Debt are senior to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties’ Liens under this Agreement. If and to the extent such additional or replacement Liens are insufficient to provide adequate protection of the interests of the Notes Secured Parties in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, then the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to assert a claim under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the amount of any such insufficiency; provided, however, that, any such claim under Section 507(b) shall be subordinate in right of payment of any claim under Section 507(b) of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties arising from any lack of adequate protection of their interests in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral and, if the Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt does not occur upon the effective date of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then the Notes Secured Parties agree that any such claim they hold under Section 507(b) arising from any lack of adequate protection of their interests in Revolving Loan Priority Collateral may be satisfied under a plan of reorganization in any combination of payment or property having a value as of the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claim under Section 507(b) arising from any lack of adequate protection of their interests in Revolving Loan Priority Collateral. If and to the extent such additional or replacement Liens are insufficient to provide adequate protection of the interests of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties in the Notes Priority Collateral, then the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to assert a claim under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the amount of any such insufficiency; provided, however, that, any such claim under Section 507(b) shall be subordinate in right of payment of any claim under Section 507(b) of Notes Secured Parties arising from any lack of adequate protection of their interests in Notes Priority Collateral and, if the Discharge of Notes Debt does not occur upon the effective date of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then the Revolving Loan Secured Parties agree that any such claim they hold under Section 507(b) may be satisfied under a plan of reorganization in any combination of payment or property having a value as of the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claim under Section 507(b). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.2 and Section 6.4, (A) no Revolving Loan Secured Party may seek or assert any right it may have for adequate protection of its interest in the Notes Priority Collateral without the prior written consent of the Notes Secured Parties, and (B) no Notes Secured Party may seek or assert any right it may have for adequate protection of its interest in the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral without the written consent of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties.

6.3 Sale of Collateral; Waivers. The Notes Secured Parties shall consent and not otherwise object to a sale or other disposition of any Revolving Loan Priority Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 365 and 1129, free and clear of any Liens thereon securing Notes Debt, if the Revolving Loan Secured Parties have consented to such sale or other disposition. The Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall consent and not otherwise object to a sale or other disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, including Sections 363, 365 and 1129, free and clear of any Liens thereon securing Revolving Loan Debt, if the Notes Secured Parties have consented to such sale or other disposition. Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall preclude any Secured Party from seeking to be the purchaser, assignee or other transferee of any Collateral in connection with any such sale or other disposition of Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code. The Notes Secured Parties agree that the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to, or otherwise object to any such sale or other disposition of, the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral and the Revolving Loan Secured Parties agree that the Notes Secured Parties shall have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to, or otherwise object to any such sale or other disposition of, the Notes Priority Collateral; provided, however, that, the Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have agreed to any “credit bid” by other Secured Parties in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral consisting of both Notes Priority Collateral and Revolving Loan Priority Collateral.

6.4 Permitted Adequate Protection Payments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Notes Secured Parties may seek post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral or the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, and the Revolving Loan Secured Parties may not oppose such motions and (ii) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties may seek post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral or the Notes Priority Collateral, and the Notes Secured Parties may not oppose such motions.

(b) With respect to any post-petition interest and/or adequate payments sought by the Notes Secured Parties in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding based upon the value or diminution in value of the Notes Secured Parties’ interest in Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, if the Notes Secured Parties receive such payments from the proceeds of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral or any Revolver DIP Financing permitted under Section 6.1, and the Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt does not occur upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, (i) the Maximum Priority Revolving Loan Debt amount shall be deemed increased to the extent necessary so as include advances made under any Revolver DIP Financing for payments to the Notes Secured Parties under this Section 6.4 and (ii) the Notes Secured Parties shall pay over to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments and (B) the amount of the Revolving Loan Debt remaining unpaid upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or conclusion of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided, that, to the extent any portion of the amount remaining unpaid in cash represents consideration received by the Revolving Loan Secured Parties in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the amount to be paid over to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties (which notes, equity or other property do not constitute Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt), the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall, upon receipt of such amount from the Notes Secured Parties, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of such amounts to the Notes Secured Parties in exchange for the amounts paid over by them to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties. The obligations of the Notes Secured Parties under the preceding sentence shall be several and not joint, and in no event shall any Notes Secured Party be obligated to pay any amount or turnover any property not received by or on behalf of such Notes Secured Party. For purposes of clarity, any adequate protection payments sought or obtained on account of any diminution in value of the Notes Priority Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) but not this Section 6.4(b).

(c) With respect to any post-petition interest and/or adequate payments sought by the Revolving Loan Secured Parties in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding based upon the value or diminution in value of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties’ interest in Notes Priority Collateral, if the Revolving Loan Secured Parties receive such payments from the proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral or any Notes DIP Financing permitted under Section 6.1, and the Discharge of Notes Debt does not occur upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall pay over to the Notes Secured Parties an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments and (ii) the amount of the Notes Debt remaining unpaid upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization or conclusion of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided, that, to the extent any portion of the amount remaining unpaid in cash represents consideration received by the Notes Secured Parties in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the amount to be paid over to the Notes Secured Parties (which notes, equity or other property do not constitute Discharge of Notes Debt), the Notes Secured Parties shall, upon receipt of such amount from the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of such amounts to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties in exchange for the amounts paid over by them to the Notes Secured Parties. The obligations of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties under the preceding sentence shall be several and not joint, and in no event shall any Revolving Loan Secured Party be obligated to pay any amount or turnover any property not received by or on behalf of such Revolving Loan Secured Party. For purposes of clarity, any adequate protection payments sought or obtained on account of any diminution in value of the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(a) but not this Section 6.4(c).

6.5 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt has not occurred, no Notes Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral or any proceeds thereof; provided, that, in the event the Revolving Loan Secured Parties seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, the Revolving Loan Secured Parties agree that the Notes Secured Parties may seek or request similar relief to that sought by the Revolving Loan Secured Parties so that the Notes Secured Parties may seek to exercise their rights and remedies under the Notes Documents and against such Collateral subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Revolving Loan Secured Parties agree that, so long as the Discharge of Notes Debt has not occurred, no Revolving Loan Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Notes Secured Parties, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Notes Priority Collateral or any proceeds thereof; provided, that, in the event Notes Secured Parties seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Notes Secured Parties agree that the Revolving Loan Secured Parties may seek or request similar relief to that sought by the Notes Secured Parties so that the Revolving Loan Secured Parties may seek to exercise their rights and remedies under the Revolving Loan Documents and against such Collateral subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation 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, on account of both the Revolving Loan Debt and the Notes Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Loan Debt and on account of the Notes Debt 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.

6.7 No Challenges to Claims.

(a) Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Secured Parties, agrees that no Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Revolving Loan Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Revolving Loan Debt, including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.

(b) Revolving Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties, agrees that no Revolving Loan Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Notes Debt, including those consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.

6.8 Certain Waivers as to Section 1111(b)(2) of Bankruptcy Code. Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Secured Parties, waives any claim any Notes Secured Party may hereafter have against any Revolving Loan Secured Party arising out of the election by any Revolving Loan Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. The Revolving Loan Secured Parties waive any claim they may hereafter have against any Notes Secured Party arising out of the election by any Notes Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classes. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties are not “substantially similar” within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens to secure the Revolving Loan Debt and the grants of the Liens to secure the Notes Debt constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) the Revolving Loan Secured Parties rights in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Notes Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (d) as a result of the foregoing, among other things, the Revolving Loan Debt and the Notes Debt must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.10 Survival After Bankruptcy. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, including, without limitation, the filing of any petition by or against any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted or subsequent cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for such Grantor and such Grantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties and the Notes Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, including, without limitation, the filing of any petition by or against any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted cases and subsequent cases, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of Revolving Loan Cash Collateral by, any Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any other court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

6.11 Preference Issues. If any Revolving Loan Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor or any other person any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Revolving Loan Debt shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to a Discharge of Revolving Loan Debt with respect to all such recovered amounts. If any Notes Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor or any other person any Recovery, then the Notes Debt shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Notes Secured Parties shall be entitled to a Discharge of Notes Debt with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to any Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

6.12 Other Bankruptcy Laws. In the event that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any Bankruptcy Law other than the Bankruptcy Code, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law applicable to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or, in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of Bankruptcy Law, such other general Bankruptcy Law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 7. Noteholders’ Purchase Option

7.1 Notice of Exercise. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event, Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Secured Parties, shall have the option at any time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Revolving Loan Agent to purchase all, but not part (other than the exclusion, at the purchasers’ option, of the amount of Revolving Loan Debt that exceeds the Maximum Priority Revolving Loan Debt), of the Revolving Loan Debt from the Revolving Loan Secured Parties. Such notice from Notes Agent to Revolving Loan Agent shall be irrevocable.

7.2 Pro Rata Offer. The Notes Secured Parties agree, solely as among themselves, that upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event and any contemplation of a potential exercise of the Noteholders’ option to purchase pursuant to this Section 7, the Notes Agent shall send a notice to all Noteholders giving each of them the option to purchase at least their pro rata share of the Revolving Loan Debt elected for purchase in accordance with Section 7.1 (the “Revolving Loan Purchase Amount”). No Noteholder shall be required to participate in any purchase offer hereunder, and each Notes Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that a purchase offer may be made by any or all of the Notes Secured Parties, subject to the requirements of the preceding sentence. The provisions of this Section 7.2 are intended solely for the benefit of the Notes Secured Parties and may be modified, amended or waived by them without the approval of the B&L Supply, any other Grantor, any Revolving Loan Secured Party, or otherwise.

7.3 Purchase and Sale. On the date specified by Notes Agent in such written notice (which shall not be less than five (5) nor more than thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt by Revolving Loan Agent of the irrevocable notice from Notes Agent of the Notes Secured Parties’ election to exercise the purchase option), Revolving Loan Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall sell to the participating Noteholders (the “Purchasing Noteholders”), and the Purchasing Noteholders shall purchase from the Revolving Loan Secured Parties (the “Revolving Loan Debt Purchase”), the Revolving Loan Purchase Amount as set forth in such written notice; provided, that, Revolving Loan Agent and the Revolving Loan Lenders shall retain all rights (a) to receive payments in respect of any the Revolving Loan Debt in excess of the Revolving Loan Purchase Amount, if any (such obligations referred to herein as the “Retained Revolving Loan Debt”), and (b) to continue to be indemnified or held harmless by the Grantors in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Loan Documents. In connection with the Revolving Loan Debt Purchase, each Revolving Loan Lender and each Purchasing Noteholder shall execute and deliver an assignment and acceptance agreement, in form reasonably acceptable to all signatories, pursuant to which, among other things, each Revolving Loan Lender shall assign to the Purchasing Noteholders such Revolving Loan Lender’s pro rata share of the Commitments and Revolving Loan Debt relating to the Revolving Loan Debt Purchase. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) contemporaneously with the consummation of the Revolving Loan Debt Purchase, Revolving Loan Agent shall resign as the “Agent” under the Revolving Loan Documents (and shall execute and deliver all such documents and instruments reasonably requested by Notes Agent and/or Purchasing Noteholders to assign and transfer any Collateral, together with any and all rights under third-party agreements related to Collateral and/or access thereto, to the applicable successor Agent and to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the Liens on the Collateral in favor of the successor Agent) and Notes Agent or such other Person as the Purchasing Noteholders shall designate, shall be designated as the successor “Agent” under the Revolving Loan Documents, and (ii) from and after the Revolving Loan Purchase Date, solely to the extent that the amount of the Retained Revolving Loan Debt is greater than zero, each of the Revolving Loan Lenders who execute and deliver an assignment and acceptance agreement with the Purchasing Noteholders (the “Revolving Loan Transferring Lenders”) shall continue to be, and shall have all rights and remedies of, a “Lender” under the Revolving Loan Documents to the extent of their pro rata share of the Retained Revolving Loan Debt; except, that, each such Revolving Loan Transferring Lender shall have no further obligation whatsoever to make any loans, advances or other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of any Grantor under any Revolving Loan Documents and each such Revolving Loan Transferring Lender shall execute an amendment acknowledging that such Retained Revolving Loan Debt is a last-out tranche, payable only after all of the Notes Debt and other Revolving Loan Debt is paid in full. Interest and other amounts with respect to the Retained Revolving Loan Debt shall continue to be paid in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Loan Documents, and the Retained Revolving Loan Debt shall continue to be secured by the Collateral on a junior basis to all other Revolving Loan Debt and all Notes Debt. Revolving Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Loan Lenders, hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no approval of any court or other regulatory or governmental authority is required for the Revolving Loan Debt Purchase.

7.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Upon the effective date of the Revolving Loan Debt Purchase (the “Revolving Loan Purchase Date”), the Purchasing Noteholders shall (i) pay to Revolving Loan Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders, as the purchase price therefor, the full amount of the Revolving Loan Purchase Amount then outstanding and unpaid, (ii) without duplication, and to the extent included in the Revolving Loan Purchase Amount, furnish or cause to be furnished to Revolving Loan Agent cash collateral in a manner and in such amounts as Revolving Loan Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure Revolving Loan Agent in connection with any issued and outstanding letters of credit and Bank Product Obligations provided by the Revolving Loan Secured Parties (including, without limitation, letters of credit that Revolving Loan Agent has arranged to be provided by third parties pursuant to the financing arrangements of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties with Grantors) to Grantors (but not in any event in an amount greater than one hundred five (105%) percent of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of credit), and (iii) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Loan Secured Parties from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party in respect of the Revolving Loan Debt (other than the Retained Revolving Loan Debt) as a direct result of any acts by Notes Agent or any other Notes Secured Party occurring after the Revolving Loan Purchase Date, to the extent found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Notes Secured Party.

(b) Subsequent to the Revolving Loan Purchase Date, after the payment in full in cash of the Notes Debt and the payment in full in cash of the Revolving Loan Debt purchased by the Purchasing Noteholders pursuant to this Section 7, including principal, interest and fees thereon and costs and expense of collection thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), the Notes Secured Parties shall remit to Revolving Loan Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Revolving Loan Lenders, any sums or amounts received by Notes Agent or any Notes Secured Party from any Grantor or from any Collateral, for application to the full amount of all Retained Revolving Loan Debt outstanding and unpaid (together with interest thereon at the highest applicable rate set forth in the Revolving Loan Agreement as in effect on the date of the purchase), which sums or amounts shall be remitted within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof by Notes Agent or any such Notes Secured Party. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Revolving Loan Agent in New York, New York, as Revolving Loan Agent may designate in writing to Notes Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by Notes Agent to the bank account designated by Revolving Loan Agent are received in such bank account prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Notes Secured Parties to the bank account designated by Revolving Loan Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time.

7.5 Representations Upon Purchase and Sale. Such Revolving Loan Debt Purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Revolving Loan Agent or any Revolving Loan Secured Party as to the Revolving Loan Debt or otherwise and without recourse to the Revolving Loan Secured Parties; except, that, the Revolving Loan Lender that is transferring such Revolving Loan Debt shall represent and warrant: (a) the amount of the Revolving Loan Debt being purchased from it, (b) that such Revolving Loan Lender owns the Revolving Loan Debt free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances and (c) that such Revolving Loan Lender has the right to assign such Revolving Loan Debt and the assignment is duly authorized.

7.6 Notice from Revolving Loan Agent Prior to Revolving Loan Lien Enforcement Action. In the absence of Exigent Circumstances, Revolving Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will give Notes Agent ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to commence the exercise of any Revolving Loan Lien Enforcement Action against the Collateral. In the event that during such ten (10) Business Day period, Notes Agent shall send to Revolving Loan Agent the irrevocable notice of the Notes Secured Parties’ intention to exercise the purchase option given by the Revolving Loan Secured Parties to the Notes Secured Parties under this Section 7, the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall not commence a Revolving Loan Lien Enforcement Action (provided, that, continuing collection of accounts receivable and other actions permitted under the Revolving Loan Documents when no Revolving Loan Event of Default exists shall not be prohibited hereunder); provided, further, that, the Revolving Loan Secured Parties’ forbearance as aforesaid shall terminate if an Exigent Circumstance shall exist (in which case, Revolving Loan Agent agrees to provide prompt notice of such Exigent Circumstance to Notes Agent and agrees to consult with Notes Agent prior to the commencement of any Revolving Loan Lien Enforcement Action deemed necessary by Revolving Loan Agent unless such Exigent Circumstances require otherwise) or if the purchase and sale with respect to the Revolving Loan Debt provided for herein shall not have closed within thirty (30) Business Days after the receipt by Revolving Loan Agent of the irrevocable notice from Notes Agent, and the Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall not have received payment in full of the Revolving Loan Purchase Amount as provided for herein within such thirty (30) Business Day period.

Section 8. Access and Use of Notes Priority Collateral

8.1 Access and Use Rights of Revolving Loan Agent. In the event that Notes Agent shall acquire control or possession of any of the Notes Priority Collateral or shall, through the exercise of remedies under the Notes Documents or otherwise, sell any of the Notes Priority Collateral to any third party (a “Third Party Purchaser”), Notes Agent shall permit Revolving Loan Agent (or require as a condition of such sale to the Third Party Purchaser that the Third Party Purchaser agree to permit the Revolving Collateral Agent), at Revolving Loan Agent’s option and in accordance with applicable law, and at the expense of the Revolving Secured Parties: (a) to enter and use any or all of the Notes Priority Collateral under such control or possession (or sold to a Third Party Purchaser) consisting of real property and the improvements, structures, buildings thereon and all related rights during normal business hours or in order to inspect, remove or take any action with respect to the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral or to enforce Revolving Loan Agent’s rights with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, the examination and removal of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral and the examination and duplication of the books and records of any Grantor related to the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, or to otherwise handle, deliver, ship, transport, deal with or dispose of any Revolving Loan Priority Collateral, such right to include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to conduct one or more public or private sales or auctions thereon; and (b) use any of the Notes Priority Collateral under such control or possession (or sold to a Third Party Purchaser) consisting of equipment (including computers or other data processing equipment related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files pertaining to the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral) or other equipment to handle, deal with or dispose of any Revolving Loan Priority Collateral pursuant to the rights of Revolving Loan Agent and the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties as set forth in the Revolving Loan Documents, the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and other applicable law. Notes Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of Revolving Loan Agent or any of the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties, and Revolving Loan Agent and the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall not have any responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of Notes Agent, in each case arising in connection with such other Person’s use and/or occupancy of any of the Notes Priority Collateral. The rights of Revolving Loan Agent set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above as to the Notes Priority Collateral (collectively, the “Access and Use Rights”) shall be irrevocable and shall continue at Revolving Loan Agent’s option for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days as to any such Notes Priority Collateral from the date on which Notes Agent has notified Revolving Loan Agent that Notes Agent has acquired possession or control of such Notes Priority Collateral. The time periods set forth herein shall be tolled during the pendency of any proceeding of a Grantor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or other proceedings pursuant to which Revolving Loan Agent is effectively stayed from enforcing its rights against the Revolving Loan Priority Collateral. In no event shall Notes Agent or any of the Notes Secured Parties take any action to interfere, limit or restrict the Access and Use Rights of Revolving Loan Agent or the exercise of such rights by Revolving Loan Agent pursuant to this Section 8.1 prior to the expiration of such periods.

8.2 Responsibilities of Revolving Loan Secured Parties. During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by Revolving Loan Agent of any Notes Priority Collateral (or any assets or property subject to a leasehold interest constituting Notes Priority Collateral), the Revolving Secured Parties shall be obligated (a) to reimburse the Notes Secured Parties any incremental additional amounts required to be paid in respect of increases in utilities, taxes and all other operating costs of such Notes Priority Collateral as a result of the use thereof by Revolving Loan Agent that Notes Agent or the other Notes Secured Parties would not have had to pay or be responsible for but for the use thereof by Revolving Loan Agent pursuant to its rights hereunder during any such period of actual occupation, use and/or control to the extent the same are actually paid by the Notes Secured Parties, (b) to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Notes Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use and/or control, and to leave such Notes Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use and/or control (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and (c) to deliver to Notes Agent a certificate of insurance showing property and liability coverage reasonably satisfactory to Notes Agent on such Notes Priority Collateral during any such period of actual occupation, use and/or control thereof by Revolving Loan Agent and naming Notes Agent as an additional named insured. Without limiting the rights granted in this section, Revolving Loan Agent and the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties shall cooperate with the Notes Secured Parties in connection with any efforts made by Notes Agent or the Notes Secured Parties to sell the Notes Priority Collateral.

8.3 Intellectual Property. In addition to and not in limitation of Section 8.1, in connection with any enforcement action by Revolving Loan Agent, Notes Agent hereby grants to Revolving Loan Agent a non-exclusive, irrevocable royalty free license with respect to any Intellectual Property necessary to realize upon any Revolving Loan Priority Collateral for the purpose of effecting such realization. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any purchaser or assignee of Revolving Loan Priority Collateral pursuant to the exercise by Revolving Loan Agent of any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any such Revolving Loan Priority Collateral to which any such Intellectual Property is affixed.

9.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of Revolving Loan Agent or any of the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any of the Revolving Loan Documents shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by Revolving Loan Agent or any other Revolving Loan Secured Party, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Revolving Loan Documents or any of the Notes Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which Revolving Loan Agent or any of the other Revolving Loan Secured Parties may have or be otherwise charged with.

As an agreement among the Secured Parties only and without prejudice to any rights of the Secured Parties under the Revolving Loan Documents and Notes Documents, as applicable, the Revolving Loan Debt and/or Notes Debt may be refinanced if (i) the terms and provisions of any such refinancing debt, if instead implemented as modifications to the debt being refinanced, could be effected without the consent of the Agent to the debt not being refinanced, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof, and (ii) the holders of such indebtedness, or a duly authorized agent on their behalf, agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Revolving Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Loan Secured Parties, and Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Secured Parties, agree, in connection with any refinancing of the Revolving Loan Debt and/or the Notes Debt permitted by this Section 10.3(a), promptly to enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as Grantors may reasonably request to reflect such refinancing; provided, that, the rights and powers of the Secured Parties contemplated hereby shall not be affected thereby.

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed by the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights or obligations are directly adversely affected.
