     2.3. No New Liens. It is agreed and understood that the intent of the parties is for each Class of Secured Obligations to be secured by a perfected lien on all Bank Priority Collateral and all Noteholder Priority Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Secured Party of either Class shall acquire or hold any Lien on any asset of the Company or any other Grantor that is not also subject to a Lien securing the Secured Obligations of the other Class, then such Secured Party shall (i) without the need for any further consent of any party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties of the other Class as security for the Secured Obligations of the other Class (subject to the Lien priorities and other terms hereof) and (ii) in the case of any such Lien acquired after the date hereof, (x) endeavor to give the other Agent prompt written notice of such additional Lien, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such additional Lien or the rights hereunder of the Agent receiving such additional Lien (subject to the Lien priorities and other terms hereof) and (y) enter into, execute and/or deliver any agreements, filings, instruments or other documents reasonably requested by the other Agent in order to evidence the Lien priorities set forth herein.

any Second-Lien Secured Party; provided, however, that the Second-Lien Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the First-Lien Collateral securing the First-Lien Obligations, or the rights of the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the First-Lien Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the First-Lien Collateral, the First-Lien Agent and the First-Lien Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the First-Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of First-Lien Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Law of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (c) Except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.1(a), so long as the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has not occurred, the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will not in the context of its role as secured creditor take or receive any First-Lien Collateral or any proceeds of First-Lien Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any First-Lien Collateral in respect of the applicable Second-Lien Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the provisos in Sections 3.1(a) and (b), the sole right of the Second-Lien Agent and the Second-Lien Secured Parties with respect to the First-Lien Collateral shall be to hold a Lien on the First-Lien Collateral in respect of the applicable Second-Lien Obligations pursuant to the Second-Lien Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred.

          (d) Except as expressly provided in the provisos in Section 3.1(a), (i) the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that no Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties with respect to the First-Lien Collateral under the First-Lien Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the First-Lien Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the Second-Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Second-Lien Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties seek to enforce their Liens on any of the First-Lien Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First-Lien Agent or First-Lien Secured Parties is adverse to the interests of the Second-Lien Secured Parties.

          (e) The Second-Lien Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second-Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties with respect to the First-Lien Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First-Lien Documents.

     3.2. Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1(a), the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the First-Lien Secured Parties and the First-Lien Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing or pursuing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the First-Lien Collateral under any of the applicable Second-Lien Documents.

     3.3. Access to Collateral and Information.

          (a) As between the Bank Agent and the Noteholder Agent, the Bank Agent may enter upon any real property of a Grantor, whether leased or owned, and without obligation to pay rent or compensation to the Noteholder Agent or the Noteholder Secured Parties or Grantors and may use any of the equipment of any Grantor to complete the manufacture of and/or process Inventory, collect Accounts and remove, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Bank Priority Collateral until the later of (i) such time as the Noteholder Agent disposes of such real property and equipment and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the date of receipt by the Bank Agent of a notice from the Noteholder Agent of its intent to commence the exercise of remedies with respect to such real property and equipment, provided that (x) any such use of property and equipment shall be in accordance with applicable law and customary industry practices with respect to the use and maintenance thereof, and, if requested by the Noteholder Agent, the Bank Agent shall provide the Noteholder Agent with evidence of the liability insurance of the Bank Agent, on which the Noteholder Agent shall be named as an additional insured and (y) no equipment (excluding Patterns and Core Boxes Collateral) may be removed from the premises at which such equipment was theretofore located without the prior written consent of the Noteholder Agent. In the event that the Agents are unable to exercise their rights as secured creditors as a result of any stay in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or of any temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction with respect to any Grantor or the Agents, such 90-day period shall be extended by the number of days that the Agents or their designees’ access to the Common Collateral has been prevented; provided, however, that in the event the Bank Agent, but not the Noteholder Agent, is so prevented from exercising such remedies, such 90-day period shall be extend by a number of days equal to the lesser of (x) the number of days such stay, order or injunction is in effect and (y) 180 days.

          (b) In the event that either Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Bank Collateral Documents or the Noteholder Collateral Documents, as the case may be, or otherwise, receive and retain possession or control of any books and Records of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to the First-Lien Collateral of the other Class, such Agent shall, upon request from the Agent for the other Class and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the other Agent such books and Records for inspection and duplication or provide to the other Agent copies thereof.

     3.4. License for Noteholder Priority Collateral. The Noteholder Agent, for itself and each of the Noteholder Secured Parties, hereby grants in favor of the Bank Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Bank Secured Parties, a nonexclusive right to use, license and/or sublicense any now existing or hereafter acquired Noteholder Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property, including trademarks and trade names, for the purpose of enabling the Bank Agent and

the Bank Secured Parties to assemble, prepare for sale, advertise, market and dispose of any and all Bank Priority Collateral, wherever such Bank Priority Collateral may be located, including all such license and right access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The license and right herein shall continue in full force and effect as a burden on the Noteholder Priority Collateral until all Bank Priority Collateral has been sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of notwithstanding (i) any exercise of remedies by the Noteholder Agent or any Noteholder Secured Parties with respect to any Noteholder Priority Collateral or (ii) any voluntary or involuntary transfer or assignment of any of such Noteholder Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property or any rights therein (whether by any Grantor, by any Noteholder Secured Party or otherwise). This license right shall inure to the benefit of the Bank Agent and the Bank Secured Parties and their successors, assigns and transferees, whether by voluntary conveyance, operation of law, assignment, transfer, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Such license right is granted free of charge, without requirement that any monetary payment whatsoever including, without limitation, any royalty or license fee, be made to the applicable Noteholder Agent or any Noteholder Secured Parties or any other Person by the Bank Agent or any Bank Secured Party or any other Person. The Noteholder Agent, for itself and each of the Noteholder Secured Parties, agrees not to interfere, hinder, restrict or delay the exercise by the Bank Agent or the Bank Secured Parties of any such license and right granted herein and agrees to execute such documentation and complete such other acts as may be required by the Bank Agent or the Bank Secured Parties in connection with the exercise of such license and right, including preservation of such license and right against any Person (including any voluntary or involuntary transferee of such Noteholder Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property). The rights and remedies of the Bank Agent and the Bank Secured Parties in this Section 3.4 are in addition to and not in limitation of the rights and remedies under the Bank Documents or applicable law. The provisions of this Section 3.4 are agreed to solely as among the Agents and Secured Parties and shall not be deemed to expand or otherwise modify any rights granted by any Grantor to the Agents or Secured Parties under any of the Finance Documents.

     3.5 Third Party Agreement Regarding Collateral. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary but subject to Section 5.5, each Agent agrees to prior written notice to the other Agent prior to taking action to gain access to or trigger control of any Collateral; provided, however, that so long as the Discharge of Bank Obligations has not occurred, in no event shall Noteholder Agent or any Noteholder Secured Party trigger control of any Bank Priority Collateral that consists of a Deposit Account and is otherwise subject to any “control agreement” to which Bank Agent is a party.

     SECTION 4. Payments.

     4.1 Application of Proceeds of Common Collateral. Each Secured Party hereby agrees that all Common Collateral, and all proceeds thereof, received by any Secured Party in connection with any exercise of remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral, or pursuant to a sale, transfer or other disposition pursuant to Section 5.1(i)(b) below, shall be applied:

     first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the First-Lien Agent in connection with its exercise of remedies as a secured creditor;

          second, to the payment of the First-Lien Obligations in accordance with the First-Lien Documents until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred;

          third, to the payment of the Second-Lien Obligations in accordance with the Second-Lien Documents until the Discharge of Second-Lien Obligations has occurred; and

          fourth, the balance, if any, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

          4.2. Payments Over. Any First-Lien Collateral or proceeds thereof received by the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to any First-Lien Collateral in contravention of this Agreement prior to the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of, and forthwith paid over to, the First-Lien Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the applicable First-Lien Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First-Lien Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second-Lien Agent or any such Second-Lien Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

          SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

          5.1. Releases. If at any time any Grantor, the First-Lien Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party, as applicable, delivers notice to the Second-Lien Agent that any specified First-Lien Collateral (including, for such purpose, in the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the equity interests in any Subsidiary of such Grantor, any First-Lien Collateral held by such Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of:

               (i) by private or public sale of all or any portion of the First-Lien Collateral (a) in connection with any exercise of remedies as a secured creditor by the First Lien Agent or (b) after the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the First Lien Documents, with the consent of the First-Lien Agent, provided that the net cash proceeds of any such sale, if any, are applied in accordance with this Agreement;

               (ii) by the owner of such First-Lien Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Senior Credit Agreement, the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and each other Finance Document;

then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second-Lien Secured Parties on such First-Lien Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such First-Lien Collateral securing First-Lien Obligations are released and discharged. Upon delivery to the Second-Lien Agent of a notice from the First-Lien Agent stating that any release of Liens on the First-Lien Collateral securing or supporting the First-Lien Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the Second-Lien Agent’s release, if applicable) pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Second-Lien Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms.

In the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, the guarantee in favor of the Second-Lien Secured Parties, if any, made by such Grantor or Subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, the guarantee by such Grantor or Subsidiary of First-Lien Obligations is released and discharged. The Second-Lien Agent, for itself and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably appoints the First-Lien Agent and any officer or agent of the First-Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second-Lien Agent and the Second-Lien Secured Parties, for the purpose of acting under this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements, or other instruments of Lien transfer or Lien release.

     5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the First-Lien Agent and the First-Lien Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First-Lien Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the First-Lien Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the First-Lien Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the First-Lien Collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, to the First-Lien Agent for the benefit of First-Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First-Lien Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, to the Second-Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second-Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second-Lien Documents and (c) third, if no Second-Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First-Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

     5.3. Amendments to Finance Documents.

          (a) So long as a Class Discharge has not occurred and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without the prior written consent of (i) in the case the Bank Documents, the Noteholder Agent and (ii) in the case of the Noteholder Documents, the Bank Agent and the Required Lenders, no Finance Document may be amended, supplemented, modified or Refinanced in any manner that would contravene this Agreement or would contravene, or result in a breach or default under, the Senior Credit Agreement or the Senior Secured Notes Indenture as in effect on the date hereof.

          (b) So long as the Discharge of Bank Obligations has not occurred, the Noteholder Agent agrees that each applicable Noteholder Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved in writing by the Bank Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by

the Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 29, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., Neenah Foundry Company and the Subsidiaries of Neenah Foundry Company party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern”.

          (c) So long as the Discharge of Noteholder Claims has not occurred, the Bank Agent agrees that (i) at the request of the Noteholder Agent, any applicable Bank Collateral Document in effect on the date hereof and (ii) each applicable Bank Collateral Document in effect from time to time hereafter, shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved in writing by the Noteholder Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent hereunder, are subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 29, 2006 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Bank of America, N.A., The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., Neenah Foundry Company and the Subsidiaries of Neenah Foundry Company party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern”.

          (d) In the event that the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the First-Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First-Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First-Lien Agent, the First-Lien Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second-Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party and without any action by the Second-Lien Agent, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not (i) effect a release of Common Collateral except as permitted by Section 5.1 or (ii) materially adversely affect the rights of the Second-Lien Secured Parties or the interests of the Second-Lien Secured Parties in the Second-Lien Collateral (without regard to the fact that the Lien of such First-Lien Collateral Document is senior to the Lien of the Comparable Second-Lien Collateral Document). The First-Lien Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent to the Second-Lien Agent; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment with respect to the provisions of any Second-Lien Collateral Document as set forth in this Section 5.3(d).

     5.4. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except to the extent in contravention of the express terms of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3.1(a)(ii) or 3.1(a)(iii) of this Agreement, any Secured Party may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that has guaranteed the relevant Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Finance Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit

the receipt by any Secured Party of required payments of interest and principal unless such payment is made with an application of proceeds that violates the waterfall for application of proceeds set forth in Section 4.1 hereof. In the event the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of First-Lien Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second-Lien Obligations or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First-Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties may have with respect to the First-Lien Collateral.

     5.5. First-Lien Agent as Bailee for Perfection.

          (a) The First-Lien Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the First-Lien Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as bailee for the Second-Lien Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

          (b) The First-Lien Agent agrees to hold the Deposit Account Collateral that is part of the First-Lien Collateral and controlled by the First-Lien Agent as bailee for the Second-Lien Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Deposit Account Collateral pursuant to the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

          (c) In the event that the First-Lien Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against intellectual property that is part of the First-Lien Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, the First-Lien Agent agrees to hold such Liens as bailee for the Second-Lien Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second-Lien Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

          (d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the First-Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral that is part of the First-Lien Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First-Lien Documents as if the Liens under the Second-Lien Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second-Lien Agent and the Second-Lien Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) The First-Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral that is part of the First-Lien Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to such Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First-Lien Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding Pledged Collateral as bailee for the Second-Lien

Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second-Lien Secured Parties.

          (f) The First-Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the Second-Lien Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second-Lien Agent or any Second-Lien Secured Party and the Second-Lien Agent and the Second-Lien Secured Parties hereby waive and release the First-Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First-Lien Agent’s role under this Section 5.5, as agent and bailee with respect to the Common Collateral.

          (g) Upon the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, the First-Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second-Lien Agent, or otherwise allow the Second-Lien Agent to obtain control of, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and Deposit Account Collateral (if any) theretofore part of the First-Lien Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements, or take such action in respect thereof as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the First-Lien Agent for loss or damage suffered by the First-Lien Agent as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by the First-Lien Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The First-Lien Agent shall have no obligation to follow instructions from any Second-Lien Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

          (h) Neither the First-Lien Agent nor the First-Lien Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties under the applicable Finance Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

     5.6. When Class Discharge Deemed Not to Have Occurred. Upon a Refinancing of any Finance Documents, no Class Discharge shall be deemed to occur, and the Obligations under such Refinancing of such Finance Documents shall automatically be treated as Secured Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein (with any Obligations under such new Finance Documents secured by First-Lien Collateral being treated as First-Lien Obligations for all purposes hereunder); provided that (i) such Refinancing is permitted pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof and (ii) the new Agent thereunder shall agree in a writing, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent for the other Class and addressed to such Agent and the Secured Parties of such Class, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Secured Obligations under such new Finance Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors that do not also secure the Secured Obligations of the other Class, then the Secured Obligations of the other Class shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the applicable Finance Documents for such Class and this Agreement (including the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein).

     SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

     6.1. Financing Issues. If the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First-Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support any objection to, and will not otherwise contest (a) such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations under the First-Lien Documents are subordinated to any Liens securing such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the First-Lien Collateral to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement, provided that (x) the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of any and all such DIP Financing and (ii) the Bank Outstandings Amount at such time, does not exceed (y) the Maximum Bank Documents Amount at such time, (b) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of First-Lien Obligations made by the First-Lien Agent or any other First-Lien Secured Party, (c) any lawful exercise by any First-Lien Secured Party of the right to credit bid First-Lien Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Common Collateral, (d) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of First-Lien Obligations relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the First-Lien Collateral or (e) any order relating to a sale of assets of any Grantor to which the First-Lien Agent has consented that provides, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations and the Second-Lien Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the related First-Lien Collateral rank to the Liens securing the Second-Lien Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.

     6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the First-Lien Collateral without the prior written consent of the First-Lien Agent.

     6.3. Adequate Protection. The Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection or (b) any objection by the First-Lien Agent or the First-Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First-Lien Agent’s or the First-Lien Secured Parties’ claiming a lack of adequate protection. The First-Lien Agent may seek or request adequate protection of its interest in the First-Lien Collateral in the form of a replacement Lien on additional collateral, which Lien, if granted, will be senior to the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations, including any Liens permitted under this Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and any applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on additional collateral, provided that any such Lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing permitted under Section 6.1 (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien

Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) in the event the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or each such Second-Lien Secured Party, agrees that the First-Lien Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the applicable First-Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing, and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second-Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First-Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First-Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Common Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Second-Lien Agent or the other Second-Lien Secured Parties in seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Common Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest or otherwise), provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the rights of the First-Lien Agent or the other First-Lien Secured Parties to object to such adequate protection in the form of cash payments, periodic cash payments or cash payments of interest.

     6.4. Preference Issues. If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then as among the parties hereto the related Secured Obligations shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. If this Agreement has 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.

     6.5. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable prior to and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references herein to any Grantor shall apply to any trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the Common Collateral and other collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.

     6.6. Waivers. Until the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second-Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Lien Secured Party, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any First-Lien Collateral.

     6.7 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Lien upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization on account of First-Lien

Obligations and Second-Lien Obligations, then, to the extent such debt obligations are secured by Liens upon Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

     SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
