  SECTION 2. Priorities; Additional Collateral

2.1 Priority Ranking of Liens. (a) The Secured Parties hereby agree that:

(i) the Inventory Party will have a first-priority Lien in the Inventory Collateral to secure the First Lien Obligations consisting of Inventory Obligations, and the Loan Parties will have a second-priority Lien in the Inventory Collateral to secure the Second Lien Obligations consisting of ABL Loan Obligations;

(ii) the Loan Parties will have a first-priority Lien in the ABL Loan Collateral to secure the First Lien Obligations consisting of ABL Loan Obligations, and the Inventory Party will have a second-priority Lien in the ABL Loan Collateral to secure the Second Lien Obligations consisting of Inventory Obligations;

 

23


(iii) the Obligations will be secured by the Collateral in accordance with the foregoing ranking subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents; and

(iv) each such first-priority Lien will at all times be senior and prior in all respects to each such second-priority Lien and each such second-priority Lien will at all times be junior and subordinate in all respects to each such first-priority Lien.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the first-priority Liens referred to in paragraph (a) above and the rights and obligations of the Parties will remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) how a Lien was acquired (whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise);

(ii) the time, manner, or order of the grant, attachment, or perfection of a Lien;

(iii) any conflicting provision of the UCC or other applicable law;

(iv) any defect in, or non-perfection, setting aside, or avoidance of, a Lien or a Basic Document;

(v) the modification of an Inventory Obligation or an ABL Obligation;

(vi) the modification of a Basic Document;

(vii) the subordination of a Lien on Collateral securing a First Lien Obligation to a Lien securing another obligation of a Grantor or other Person that is permitted under the Basic Documents as in effect on the date hereof or secures a DIP Financing deemed consented to by the Second Lien Secured Parties pursuant to Section 10.1 (Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing);

(viii) the exchange of a Lien in any Collateral for a Lien in other Collateral;

(ix) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding; or

(x) any other circumstance whatsoever, including a circumstance that might be a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Grantor in respect of any Obligation or holder of such Obligation.

2.2 First and Second Lien Collateral To Be Identical. The Parties intend that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. Accordingly, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Parties will cooperate:

(a) to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon, and the identity of the Persons having First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations; and

(b) to make the forms, documents, and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral, other than with respect to the first and second lien nature of the Liens.

 

24


2.3 Additional Collateral. (a) Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, no Grantor will grant, and each will use its best efforts to prevent any other Person from granting, a Lien on any property in favor of the Inventory Collateral Agent to secure the Inventory Obligations or in favor of the ABL Loan Collateral Agent to secure the ABL Loan Obligations unless such Grantor grants (or offers to grant with reasonable opportunity for the Lien to be accepted) the Inventory Collateral Agent a first-priority Lien on such property and the ABL Loan Collateral Agent a second-priority Lien on such property; provided that the refusal of the ABL Loan Collateral Agent or the Inventory Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to accept such Lien will not prevent the Inventory Collateral Agent or the ABL Loan Collateral Agent, respectively, from taking the Lien; provided further that, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3 (Additional Collateral) will not preclude any Collateral Agent from taking any action, filing or delivering any instrument, document or financing statement to establish, perfect, preserve or protect the Liens in favor of such Collateral Agent in the relevant Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 2.1 (Priority Ranking of Liens), if the ABL Loan Collateral Agent or the Inventory Collateral Agent hereafter acquires a Lien on property to secure the ABL Loan Obligations or the Inventory Obligations, respectively, where the property is not also subject to a Lien securing the Inventory Obligations or the ABL Loan Obligations, respectively, then such Collateral Agent will give the other Collateral Agent written notice of such Lien no later than five (5) Business Days after acquiring such Lien. If the other Collateral Agent also obtains a Lien on such property or if such Collateral Agent fails to provide such timely notice, then such property will be deemed to be Collateral for all purposes hereunder in accordance with paragraph (a) above.

2.4 Prohibition on Contesting Liens; No Marshaling. (a) In no event will any Secured Party take any action to challenge, contest or dispute the validity, extent, enforceability, or priority of either Collateral Agent’s Liens under the Security Documents with respect to any of the Collateral, or that would have the effect of invalidating any such Lien or support any Person who takes any such action. Each of the Secured Parties agrees that it will not take any action to challenge, contest or dispute the validity, enforceability or secured status of any other Secured Party’s claims against any Grantor (other than any such claim resulting from any willful breach of this Agreement or any malfeasance of a Secured Party occurring after the date of this Agreement, or any challenge, contest or dispute alleging arithmetical error in the determination of a claim), or that would have the effect of invalidating any such claim, or support any Person who takes any such action.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.4 (Prohibition on Contesting Liens; No Marshaling) will impair the rights of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the relevant Obligations or the provisions for exercise of remedies.

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, no Second Lien Secured Party will assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar rights that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.

2.5 Release of Collateral. (a) Subject to Section 6.3 (Intercreditor Action), the Secured Parties (other than the Collateral Agents) hereby authorize and instruct the Collateral Agents promptly to release (or to take steps to cause such release, including the giving of instructions to any agent or trustee under any Security Document) all Liens over the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and all Liens over the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, and each Collateral Agent will promptly take such steps as may be reasonably requested by the Grantors to effect and evidence such release.

 

25


(b) Each Second Lien Secured Party agrees that, in the event the First Lien Agent releases its Lien on any item of First Lien Collateral in connection with (i) an Enforcement Action or (ii) a Disposition of such item of Collateral permitted under the Basic Documents other than pursuant to an Enforcement Action (whether or not there is Trigger Event outstanding under the relevant Basic Documents), the Liens granted to the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Secured Parties upon such Collateral to secure Second Lien Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and release of all Liens granted upon such Collateral to secure First Lien Obligations; provided that if the Liens of the First Lien Agent attach to the Proceeds of such Collateral, the Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations shall attach to the Proceeds of such Collateral subject to the relative priorities described herein. The Second Lien Agent will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release of the Liens provided to it by the Grantors. Nothing in this paragraph (b) will be deemed to affect any agreement of the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, to release the Liens on the Second Lien Collateral as set forth in the relevant Security Documents. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the extent that the First Lien Agent releases a Lien on First Lien Collateral, which Lien is reinstated for the First Lien Agent’s benefit (on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Secured Parties), then the Second Lien Agent will also be granted a Lien on such Collateral subject to Section 2.1(a) (Priority Ranking of Liens).

(c) Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, each Second Lien Secured Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and 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 such Second Lien Secured Party or in the First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of paragraph (b) above, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of paragraph (b) above, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

2.6 Loan Parties’ Confirmations. Each Loan Party (a) acknowledges and agrees the Inventory Party’s ownership of all Inventory that is owned by, transferred to or purchased by the Inventory Party pursuant to the Inventory Facility ISDA and of all Inventory whose title is transferred following an exchange under the Inventory Facility ISDA; (b) agrees not to challenge the Inventory Party’s ownership of Crude Oil and other Inventory; (c) agrees that the Inventory Party will have a back-up first-priority Lien in all Crude Oil and other Inventory to the extent the Inventory Party’s title is challenged or the transactions under the Inventory Facility ISDA become subject to recharacterization as a secured financing; and (d) acknowledges and agrees that it has no Lien in stock and Inventory that the Inventory Party purports to own under any Inventory Document.

 

  SECTION 3. Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies

3.1 Notice of Defaults. Each Secured Party hereby agrees to give each other Party written notice (a Notice of Default) of (a) the occurrence (and, when applicable, cessation) of a Default or a Trigger Event of which it has actual knowledge or written notice, and (b) following the occurrence of a Trigger Event that remains outstanding, the acceleration of the maturity of such Secured Party’s Obligations under the applicable Basic Document wherein such Secured Party’s Obligations have been declared to be or have automatically become due and payable earlier than the scheduled maturity thereof (or similar remedial actions, including demands for cash collateral, have been taken) or the termination of the Inventory Facility ISDA, in each case setting forth the aggregate amount of Obligations that have been subject to such event specified in such notice, in each case as soon as practicable after the occurrence thereof; provided that the failure to provide a Notice of Default will not limit or impair the

 

26


rights of the Secured Parties hereunder or under the applicable Basic Documents. Each Notice of Default will specifically refer to this Section 3.1 (Notice of Defaults) and will describe such Default or Trigger Event (or its cessation) or other event in reasonable detail (including the date of occurrence of the same). No Secured Party will be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Trigger Event or other such event under the Basic Document to which it is a party until such Secured Party has actual knowledge thereof or has received a written notice of such Default, Trigger Event or other event from a Grantor or any other Secured Party.

3.2 Election to Make Guarantee Claim. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Trigger Event relating to a failure of any Borrower to pay under the ABL Loan Documents or a failure of the Inventory Facility Counterparty to pay under any Inventory Document or a failure of the Inventory Facility Counterparty to deliver under any Inventory Document, the Administrative Agent in the case of such a Trigger Event under the ABL Loan Documents or the Inventory Party in the case of such a Trigger Event under the Inventory Document may serve a notice (such notice, a Guarantee Claim Notice) on the relevant Collateral Agent (concurrently with or at any time after delivery of a Notice of Default), which describes the Trigger Event with respect to which such Secured Parties are seeking to make a Guarantee Claim as well as the proposed amount of the Guarantee Claim. Each Guarantee Claim Notice will, except as otherwise provided herein, be effective on the date set forth in such notice.

(b) Promptly upon receipt of a Guarantee Claim Notice, the relevant Collateral Agent will (i) promptly make a Guarantee Claim under the relevant Guarantee and (ii) deliver to each other Notice Party a copy of such Guarantee Claim Notice. Promptly upon making any Guarantee Claim, the relevant Collateral Agent will give each other Notice Party notice that it has made such Guarantee Claim in accordance with this Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies) and will thereafter keep each other Notice Party reasonably apprised of the progress of such Guarantee Claim.

3.3 Election to Pursue Enforcement Action. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Enforcement Event, the Required Creditors with respect to an Enforcement Event under the Basic Document to which such Required Creditors are a party may serve a notice (such notice, an Enforcement Action Notice) on the relevant Collateral Agent (concurrently with or at any time after delivery of a Notice of Default), which describes the Enforcement Event with respect to which such Required Creditors are seeking to pursue remedies as well as the proposed Enforcement Action that such Required Creditors wish the relevant Collateral Agent to pursue. Each Enforcement Action Notice will, except as otherwise provided herein, be effective on the date set forth in such notice.

(b) Promptly upon receipt of an Enforcement Action Notice, the relevant Collateral Agent will deliver to each other Notice Party a copy of such Enforcement Action Notice. Promptly upon taking any Enforcement Action, the relevant Collateral Agent will give each Notice Party notice that it has commenced an Enforcement Action in accordance with this Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies) and will thereafter keep each other Notice Party reasonably apprised of the progress of such Enforcement Action.

3.4 Exercise of Remedies.

(a) If the relevant Enforcement Action Notice was executed by the Required Creditors, then, if the Enforcement Event which is the subject of such Enforcement Action Notice remains outstanding, the Enforcement Action specified in such Enforcement Action Notice will be initiated by the relevant Collateral Agent without further action on behalf of any Secured Party in accordance with this Section 3.4 (Exercise of Remedies); provided, however, that, subject to Section 3.5 (Who May Exercise Remedies), (a) in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor,

 

27


any Second Lien Secured Party may file a proof of claim or statement of interest, and make any arguments, motions or other filings with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, in each case so long as not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (b) any Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Secured Party may take any action in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations so long as such actions are not adverse to the priority status in accordance with this Agreement of Liens on Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Secured Parties’ rights to exercise remedies, (c) any Second Lien Secured Party may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Section 10.4 (Adequate Protection), and (d) any Second Lien Secured Party may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Secured Parties or the avoidance of any Lien on the Collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and provided further that to the extent any cash proceeds of the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations are realized from actions taken by the First Lien Agent, the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations shall attach to any such proceeds remaining after application of such proceeds to the extent necessary to effect a Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(b) After the expiration of a Standstill Period where a Required Creditor has the right to initiate an Enforcement Action, if the Collateral Agents (before a Collateral Agent has otherwise commenced an Enforcement Action) receive conflicting Enforcement Action Notices from the Administrative Agent and the Inventory Party, the Collateral Agents will refrain from taking any Enforcement Action that is the subject of such conflicting notices and call a meeting or conference call with the other Secured Parties to be held within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or any other time as agreed between the Secured Parties). The Secured Parties will, at the meeting or conference call, develop a plan for an Enforcement Action that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Inventory Party. If the Administrative Agent and the Inventory Party fail to agree on the Enforcement Actions at the meeting or conference call, they will negotiate in good faith for a further period of ten (10) days, failing which the instructions delivered by the ABL Loan Collateral Agent in the case of the ABL Loan Collateral and the Inventory Collateral Agent in the case of the Inventory Collateral that is subject to the Enforcement Action will prevail.

(ii) make determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the First Lien Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Second Lien Secured Party; and

(i) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the First Lien Collateral by the First Lien Agent in respect of the First Lien Obligations, the exercise of any right by the First Lien Agent in respect of the First Lien Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the First Lien Collateral under the First Lien Security Documents or otherwise in respect of the First Lien Collateral or the First Lien Obligations;

(c) Each Second Lien Secured Party hereby waives any and all rights it 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 or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens granted 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 any other First Lien Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Lien Secured Parties.

3.6 Manner of Exercise. (a) The First Lien Agent (or pursuant to Section 3.7(d) (Remedies Generally) any First Lien Secured Party) may take any Enforcement Action:

(i) in any manner in its sole discretion in compliance with applicable law;

(ii) without consultation with or the consent of any Second Lien Secured Party;

(iii) regardless of whether an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced;

(iv) regardless of any provision of any Security Document relating to Second Lien Obligations; and

(v) regardless of whether such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Second Lien Secured Party.

 

29


(b) The rights of the First Lien Agent (or pursuant to Section 3.7(d) (Remedies Generally), a First Lien Secured Party) to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Security Document will not be prejudiced or impaired by:

(i) any act or failure to act of any Grantor, any other First Lien Secured Party or the First Lien Agent; or

The relevant Collateral Agent will promptly inform each other Secured Party of any revocation or withdrawal of any Notice of Default, Guarantee Claim Notice or Enforcement Action Notice.

(b) Nothing in this Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies) will be construed to (i) restrict the right of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or the Inventory Party to call a Trigger Event under the Basic Documents to which such Lenders are party or the Inventory Party is a party, as appropriate, or require any such Secured Party to call a Trigger Event, (ii) restrict the right of the Secured Parties to elect at any time to agree to any Intercreditor Action in accordance with Section 6 (Ordinary Course Voting and Decision Making) that could have the effect of waiving or rescinding such Trigger Event, or (iii) require the relevant Collateral Agent to make a Guarantee Claim or take any Enforcement Action that is prohibited by any provision of the Basic Documents.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies) will modify any of the rights of any Secured Party against any Grantor under any Security Document or any other Basic Document, or prevent any First Lien Secured Party from taking any Enforcement Action if it reasonably believes that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of all First Lien Secured Parties under the Security Documents; provided that such Secured Party taking such Enforcement Action immediately notifies the relevant Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties of its decision to take such Enforcement Action prior to taking such Enforcement Action.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Loan Parties and the Inventory Party will not have any right to institute any action or proceeding to make a Guarantee Claim, to enforce any term or provision of the relevant Guarantee or the Security Documents or take any Enforcement Action, unless the relevant Collateral Agent will have failed to act in accordance with a Guarantee Claim Notice or an Enforcement Action Notice within thirty (30) days thereafter. In such case but not otherwise, any Secured Party acting on behalf of itself and other Secured Parties will be entitled to make a Guarantee Claim, to commence an Enforcement Action or to take any such other action as the relevant Collateral Agent might have taken pursuant to this Agreement, the relevant Guarantee or the Security Documents (in accordance with the directions of, in the case of a Guarantee Claim Notice, the Administrative Agent or the Inventory Party and, in the case of an Enforcement Action Notice, the Required Creditors required to take such action pursuant to this Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies)).

No First Lien Secured Party will have any duty to any Second Lien Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a default or Trigger Event under any agreement with any Grantor (including the Basic Documents relating to the Second Lien Obligations), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 

  SECTION 10. Insolvency Proceedings

10.1 Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing. (a) Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, if an Insolvency Proceeding has commenced, the Second Lien Agent, as holder of a second-priority Lien on the Collateral securing such First Lien Obligations, will not contest, protest, or object to, and each Second Lien Secured Party will be deemed to have consented to:

(i) any use, sale, or lease of “cash collateral” (as defined in section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting First Lien Collateral; and

(ii) any Grantor obtaining DIP Financing,

if the First Lien Agent consents in writing to such use, sale, or lease, or DIP Financing; provided that

(A) the Second Lien Agent otherwise retains its Lien on the Collateral; and

(B) any Second Lien Secured Party may seek adequate protection as permitted by Section 10.4 (Adequate Protection) and, if such adequate protection is not granted, the Second Lien Agent may object under this Section 10.1 (Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing) solely on such basis.

 

43


Upon written request from the First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent, as holder of a Lien on the Collateral, will join any objection by the First Lien Agent to the use, sale, or lease of such cash collateral for any purpose other than adequate protection payments to Second Lien Secured Parties.

(b) Any customary “carve-out” or other similar administrative priority expense or claim consented to in writing by the First Lien Agent to be paid prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations will be deemed for purposes of paragraph (a) above:

(i) to be a use of such cash collateral; and

(ii) not to be a principal amount of DIP Financing at the time of such consent.

No Second Lien Secured Party may provide DIP Financing to a Borrower or other Grantor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any First Lien Obligations.

10.2 Sale of Collateral. The Second Lien Agent, as holder of a second-priority Lien on the First Lien Collateral, will not contest, protest, or object, and will be deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, to a Disposition of such Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other interests under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the First Lien Agent consents in writing to the Disposition, provided that either (a) pursuant to court order, the Liens of Second Lien Secured Parties attach to the net Proceeds of the Disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by Second Lien Secured Parties on such Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (b) the Proceeds of a Disposition of such Collateral received by the First Lien Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve the Discharge the First Lien Obligations in their entirety are distributed in accordance with the UCC and other applicable law.

10.3 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, no Second Lien Secured Party may seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Second Lien Collateral without the First Lien Agent’s prior written consent or oppose any request by the First Lien Agent for relief from such stay

10.4 Adequate Protection. (a) No Second Lien Secured Party will contest, protest, or object to:

(i) a request by a First Lien Secured Party for “adequate protection” under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(ii) an objection by a First Lien Secured Party to a motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a First Lien Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph (a), in an Insolvency Proceeding:

(i) except as permitted in this Section 10.4 (Adequate Protection), no Second Lien Secured Parties (in such capacity) may seek or request adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or other relief.

 

44


(ii) If a First Lien Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement Collateral in connection with a motion described in Section 10.1 (Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing), then the Second Lien Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement Collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all related Obligations) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement.

(iii) Any claim by a Second Lien Secured Party under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code will be subordinate in right of payment to any claim of First Lien Secured Parties under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any payment thereof will be deemed to be Proceeds of Collateral, provided that, subject to Section 10.6 (Reorganization Securities), Second Lien Secured Parties will be deemed to have agreed pursuant to section 1 129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code that such section 507(b) claims may be paid under a plan of reorganization in any form having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims.

(iv) So long as the First Lien Agent is receiving payment in cash of all Post-Petition Claims, the Second Lien Agent may seek and, subject to the terms hereof, retain payments of Post-Petition Claims under the relevant Basic Documents (Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments). If a Second Lien Secured Party receives Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments before the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, then upon the effective date of any plan or the conclusion or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Second Lien Secured Party will pay over to the First Lien Agent pursuant to Section 4.1 (Distribution Priorities – Inventory Collateral) an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by the Second Lien Secured Party and (ii) the amount necessary to Discharge the First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, First Lien Secured Parties will not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the payment of Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments.

10.5 First Lien Objections to Second Lien Actions. Subject to Section 3 (Trigger Events, Enforcement Events and Remedies) nothing in this Section 10 (Insolvency Proceedings) limits a First Lien Secured Party from objecting in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by a Second Lien Secured Party, including the Second Lien Secured Party’s seeking adequate protection or asserting any of its rights and remedies under the Basic Documents or otherwise.

10.6 Reorganization Securities. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of a Second Lien Secured Party to receive and retain any debt or equity securities that are issued by a reorganized debtor pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, provided that any debt securities received by a Second Lien Secured Party on account of a Second Lien Obligation that constitutes a “secured claim” within the meaning of section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code will be paid over or otherwise transferred to the First Lien Agent for application in accordance with Section 4.1 (Distribution Priorities – Inventory Collateral) unless such distribution is made under a plan that is consented to by the affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of First Lien Secured Parties.

If, in an Insolvency Proceeding, debt Obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt Obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same 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.

 

45


10.7 Post-Petition Claims. (a) No Second Lien Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a First Lien Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims.

(b) No First Lien Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge in an Insolvency Proceeding a claim by a Second Lien Secured Party for allowance and any payment permitted under Section 10.4 (Adequate Protection) of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims.

10.8 Waivers. The Second Lien Agent waives:

(a) any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Secured Party arising out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a Lien in connection with the First Lien Collateral in an Insolvency Proceeding, so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement;

(b) any right to assert or enforce any claim under section 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against First Lien Secured Parties or any of the First Lien Collateral to the extent securing the First Lien Obligations; and

(c) solely in its capacity as a holder of a Lien on Collateral, any claim or cause of action that any Grantor may have against any First Lien Secured Party, except to the extent arising from a breach by such First Lien Secured Party of the provisions of this Agreement.

10.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The grants of Liens pursuant to the Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants. Because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations, to the extent deemed to be “secured claims” within the meaning of section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization in an Insolvency Proceeding. Second Lien Secured Parties will not seek in an Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as First Lien Secured Parties and will not oppose or contest any pleading by First Lien Secured Parties seeking separate classification of their respective secured claims.

10.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during, and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency Proceeding.

 

  SECTION 11. Relationship Between Agents.

11.1 Pledged Collateral.

(a) If the First Lien Agent has any Collateral in its possession or control (such Collateral being the Pledged Collateral), then, subject to Section 2.1 (Priority Ranking of Liens) and this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral), the First Lien Agent will possess or control the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection for the benefit of the Second Lien Agent as secured party, so as to satisfy the requirements of sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), and 9-313(c) of the UCC. In this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral), control has the meaning given that term in sections 8-106 and 9-314 of the UCC.

 

46


(b) The First Lien Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party to ensure that any 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 11.1 (Pledged Collateral). The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Agent under this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and/or agent for perfection in accordance with this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) The Second Lien Agent hereby waives and releases the First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of the First Lien Agent’s role under this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) as bailee and/or agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral except for claims arising by reason of the First Lien Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent will deliver or transfer control of any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty):

(i) first, to the Second Lien Agent if any Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding; and

(ii) second, to the relevant Grantors or as otherwise required by applicable law,

and will take any other action reasonably requested by the Second Lien Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in connection with the Second Lien Agent obtaining a first-priority Lien in the Pledged Collateral.

(e) If the Second Lien Agent has any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, then, subject to Section 2.1 (Priority Ranking of Liens) and this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral), the Second Lien Agent will possess or control the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection for the benefit of the First Lien Agent as secured party, so as to satisfy the requirements of sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), and 9-313(c) of the UCC.

(f) The Second Lien Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party to ensure that any 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 11.1 (Pledged Collateral). The duties or responsibilities of the Second Lien Agent under this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and/or agent for perfection in accordance with this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Second Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (h) below.

(g) The First Lien Agent hereby waives and releases the Second Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of the Second Lien Agent’s role under this Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral) as bailee and/or agent for perfection with respect to the Pledged Collateral except for claims arising by reason of the Second Lien Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

47


(h) Upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Agent will deliver or transfer control of any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty):

(i) first, to the First Lien Agent if any First Lien Obligations remain outstanding; and

(ii) second, to the relevant Grantors or as otherwise required by applicable law,

and will take any other action reasonably requested by the First Lien Agent (at the expense of the Grantors) in connection with the First Lien Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Pledged Collateral.

11.2 Limitations on Duties and Obligations.

(a) The First Lien Agent will be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Liens on the First Lien Collateral, and except for the First Lien Agent’s obligations under Section 11.1 (Pledged Collateral), the Second Lien Agent will be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Liens on the Second Lien Collateral, in each case, acting on the instructions of the relevant Secured Party(ies).

(b) This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties and does not impose on the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral that would conflict with a prior perfected claim in favor of another Person, an order or decree of a court or other Governmental Authority, or applicable law.

(c) Except for obligations expressly provided for herein, the First Lien Secured Parties will have no liability to any Second Lien Secured Party for any action by a First Lien Secured Party with respect to any First Lien Obligations or Collateral, including:

(i) the maintenance, preservation, or collection of the First Lien Obligations or any Collateral; and

(ii) the foreclosure upon, or the sale, liquidation, maintenance, preservation, or other disposition of, any Collateral.

(d) The First Lien Agent will not have by reason of this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship with any First Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party. The parties recognize that the interests of the First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent may differ, and the First Lien Agent may act in its own interest without taking into account the interests of any Second Lien Secured Party.

(e) In acting hereunder the Inventory Collateral Agent shall have (i) all of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it in the Collateral Agency Agreement, (ii) only those obligations set forth in the Inventory Documents to which it is a party and (iii) no implied duties or obligations.

 

  SECTION 12. Refinancing of the Credit Agreement

In the event that the Borrowers will at any time incur any Indebtedness to refinance in full (but not in part) the outstanding Obligations under the ABL Loan Credit Agreement or any other

 

48


Credit Agreement, the Borrowers will be permitted to designate such Indebtedness as “ABL Loan Obligations” hereunder and to extend the existing Liens over the Collateral created under the Security Documents to secure the repayment of the corresponding ABL Loan Obligations in accordance with Section 2.1 (Priority Ranking of Liens) and all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Security Documents and the other Basic Documents then in effect. Any such designation will be effected by delivery of a notice to such effect to the ABL Loan Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party not later than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed incurrence (and which notice may be revocable and may specify that it is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent) and will be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of such Indebtedness will not at any time exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the commitment for revolving loans (as such commitment is specified in the Credit Agreement) under the Credit Agreement then in effect plus (ii) $75,000,000;

(b) such incurrence will be effected by the Borrowers pursuant to definitive documentation in form and substance and otherwise satisfactory to the Inventory Party in its reasonable discretion (the Refinancing Credit Agreement), which documentation will (i) provide for a maturity date that is not earlier than the maturity date of the original ABL Loan Credit Agreement and (ii) be on terms that are consistent with the then-prevailing market terms for asset backed revolving loan agreements;

(c) prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, each holder of any such Indebtedness and any agent or trustee thereof will have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof by executing and delivering to the Parties a supplement hereto in the form of Annex V (Secured Party Supplement to Intercreditor Agreement), appropriately completed; and

(d) prior to the incurrence of such Indebtedness, the Grantors will have delivered evidence that any security granted for the benefit of the holders of the ABL Loan Obligations has been (or will be on the date of such refinancing) terminated and released in full and that all of the ABL Loan Obligations will be prepaid, discharged and cancelled in full on or by the date of such refinancing.

 

  SECTION 13. Additional Grantors

Other than any Retail Business Subsidiary, any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Tesoro Hawaii that is created, acquired or otherwise comes into existence after the date of this Agreement will, immediately upon becoming a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Tesoro Hawaii and concurrently with becoming a party to the Credit Agreement and the Framework Agreement, become (a) a party to each Guarantee and Security Document as a Grantor thereunder by executing and delivering to the relevant Collateral Agent a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached thereto and (b) a party to this Agreement as a Grantor hereunder by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agents a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex VI (Grantor Supplement to Intercreditor Agreement) (a Grantor Supplement). Accordingly, upon the execution and delivery of any Grantor Supplement by any such Subsidiary, such Subsidiary will automatically and immediately become a Grantor under and for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

  SECTION 14. Miscellaneous

14.1 Specific Performance. The parties declare that any breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable damage to the Secured Parties, for which they will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, whenever any party to this Agreement fails to comply with any of the provisions of

 

49


this Agreement, each of the Secured Parties will be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies and damages. This provision will be limited to breaches arising exclusively under this Agreement.

14.2 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, authorizations, directions, waivers and other communications made pursuant to the provisions hereof will be in writing and will be delivered personally or mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid or by overnight courier or facsimile at the address specified on Annex IV (Addresses for Notices and Payment Instructions) or such other address as may be furnished in writing by a Secured Party to each other Secured Party or by a Collateral Agent to each Secured Party. All notices, requests, demands, consents, authorizations, directions, waivers and other written communications will be effective on receipt.

14.3 Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be modified or supplemented or waived only by an instrument or instruments in writing consented to and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Inventory Party; provided that any such modification or supplement or waiver that would alter or affect the rights or duties of a Collateral Agent hereunder in any respect will require the consent of such Collateral Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, as the case may be, the relevant Secured Parties will cease to have any right to vote or make determinations hereunder. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Obligations held by any Grantor or by an Affiliate of any Grantor will be deemed to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Agreement.

14.4 Successors and Assigns. (a) All of the terms of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by any holder or holders at any time of the Obligations owed to a Secured Party, or any part thereof.

(b) No Grantor may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer in violation of this provision will be void and of no effect.

(c) No Secured Party will transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or the Obligations owing to it unless (i) in the case of a Lender, a Cash Management Bank and a Secured Hedging Creditor, such Lender, Cash Management Bank or Secured Hedging Creditor has become a party to the Credit Agreement then in effect in accordance with the terms thereof and in the case of any other Secured Party, such transfer is permitted or required under the terms of the relevant Basic Document; (ii) in the case of the Collateral Agents, such transfer is made in accordance with the relevant Basic Document; and (iii) the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Collateral Agents a supplement hereto substantially in the form of Annex V (Secured Party Supplement to Intercreditor Agreement) appropriately completed or in the case of a Loan Party (other than the Administrative Agent and the ABL Loan Collateral Agent) is deemed to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.19 of the ABL Loan Credit Agreement. Each transferee of any Obligations will take such Obligations subject to the provisions of this Agreement and to any request made, waiver or consent given or other action taken or authorized hereunder by each previous holder of such Obligations prior to the receipt by the Collateral Agents of written notice of such transfer, and, except as expressly otherwise provided in such notice, the Collateral Agents may conclusively assume that the transferee named in such notice will thereafter be vested with all rights and powers as a Secured Party under this Agreement (and the Collateral Agents may conclusively assume that no Obligations have been subject to any transfer other than transfers of which such Collateral Agents have received such a notice). Upon the written request of any Secured Party, the Collateral Agents will provide such Secured Party with copies of any written notices of transfer received pursuant hereto.

 

50


(d) In addition to the foregoing, each Collateral Agent (or in the case of the ABL Loan Secured Parties, the Administrative Agent) will maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Secured Parties, and the principal amount of the Obligations held by them from time to time (the Register) based upon the latest Current Balance Certificates provided to such Collateral Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, such Collateral Agent will update the Register only following its receipt of notice of a name or address change of a Secured Party or any Current Balance Certificate. The Register will be available for inspection by Tesoro Hawaii and any Secured Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

14.5 Benefits of Agreement Limited. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended, nor will they be construed to confer upon, or give any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies or claims hereunder or by reason hereof.

14.6 Conflicts with Other Documents. To the extent that there is a conflict or inconsistency with terms of this Agreement and any Basic Document or other agreement among any Collateral Agent, any Secured Party and any Grantor, or any amendment or modification thereof, this Agreement will control as among the Parties.

14.7 Termination. This Agreement will terminate with respect to each Secured Party and the Collateral Agents automatically upon the payment in full of all of the Obligations owed to it; provided that Section 14.11 (Costs and Expenses; Indemnity) will survive, and remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of the payment in full of all Obligations or termination of this Agreement.

14.8 Subrogation. If a Second Lien Secured Party pays or distributes cash, property, or other assets to a First Lien Secured Party under this Agreement, the Second Lien Secured Party will be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Secured Party with respect to the value of the payment or distribution; provided that the Second Lien Secured Party waives such right of subrogation until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. Such payment or distribution will not reduce the Second Lien Obligations.

14.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction and the Parties will use their best efforts to replace such provision.

14.10 No Partnership; No Obligation to Advance Funds. The obligations of each of the Parties herein are several. Nothing herein contained will be construed as creating among the Secured Parties a partnership, joint venture or other joint association. No provision of this Agreement will be construed as obligating any Secured Party to advance any monies or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor at any time.

14.11 Costs and Expenses; Indemnity. (a) The Grantors agree, jointly and severally, to pay all fees of each Collateral Agent for its services under this Agreement in accordance with any fee letter and to reimburse each Collateral Agent, within fifteen (15) days of receiving an invoice for such fees for the reasonable expenses incurred (and set forth in reasonable detail together with reasonable evidence of the incurrence of such expenses) by the Collateral Agent, including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and compensation of agents, arising out of, or directly connected with, the execution or delivery of

 

51


this Agreement, any Guarantee or any Security Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby or the performance by such Collateral Agent of its obligations thereunder or in connection with the enforcement or protection of the rights of such Collateral Agent and/or the Secured Parties under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the seizure, repossession, sale, transfer or other disposition of any of the Collateral in accordance with such terms and conditions.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantors will, jointly and severally, on demand, defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Collateral Agent and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an Indemnified Person) from and against all Losses suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, any Guarantee or any Security Document and whether or not caused or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnified Person, except to the extent that such Losses are found in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph (b) applies, such indemnity will be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by a Grantor or any of its equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Person, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto.

14.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by means of facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which will be an original and all of which will together constitute one and the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

14.13 Currency. All calculations under this Agreement will be made in U.S. dollars.

14.14 Choice of Law. This Agreement, the relationship between the Parties and any claim or dispute (whether sounding in contract, tort, statute or otherwise) relating to this Agreement or that relationship will be governed by and construed in accordance with law of the State of New York including section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law but excluding any other conflict of law rules that would lead to the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

14.15 Jurisdiction. Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or U.S. Federal court sitting in the City and County of New York for the settlement of any dispute in connection with this Agreement. The New York courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute and each Party waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with this Agreement.

14.16 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO TRIAL BY THE COURT.
