Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the First Lien Last Out Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the Senior Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable law or the First Lien Last Out Note Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever (including any non-perfection of any Lien purporting to secure the Senior Obligations and/or First Lien Last Out Obligations), the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents) hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any Senior Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the First Lien Last Out Obligations; and (b) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, any First Lien Last Out Creditors or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Obligations. All Liens on the Collateral securing any Senior Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Last Out Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Parent Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Senior Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the First Lien Last Out Obligations (and the security therefor).

Each of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Last Out Creditor, and Senior Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Creditor, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity or enforceability of any Security Document or any Obligation thereunder, (ii) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents with respect to the Senior Obligations or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the Senior Obligations and the First Lien Last Out Obligations granted and/or established in this Agreement or any other Security Document with respect to such Liens, mortgages, assignments, and security interests; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditor to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 3.1 hereof.

Page 12

actions to perfect such Liens. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Senior Collateral Agent and/or the other Senior Creditors, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2 hereof.
          2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Last Out Collateral not be more expansive than the Senior Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9 hereof, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon request by either Senior Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Last Out Collateral and the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Last Out Note Documents.
          SECTION 3. Enforcement.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor: (i) the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, control account agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any First Lien Last Out Creditor is a party) or institute or commence, or join with any Person in commencing, any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution and any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), and will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by either Senior Collateral Agent or any other Senior Creditor or any other exercise by either Senior Collateral Agent or any other Senior Creditor, of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the Senior Loan Documents or otherwise, or object to the forbearance by the either Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral; and (ii) the Senior Collateral Agents shall have the exclusive right, and the Required Senior Creditors shall have the exclusive right to instruct the Senior Collateral Agents, to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor, all as though the First Lien Last Out Obligations did not exist; provided, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the First Lien Last Out Obligations, (B) the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Obligations, or the rights of the Senior Collateral Agents or the


 

Page 13

other Senior Creditors to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect their Lien on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (C) the First Lien Last Out Creditors shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleading 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 First Lien Last Out Creditors, including any claim secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (D) the First Lien Last Out Creditors may file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and (E) the First Lien Last Out Creditors may vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the First Lien Last Out Obligations and the Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Collateral Agents and the other Senior Creditors may enforce the provisions of the Senior Loan 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 Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
          (b) The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Last Out Creditors, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the sole right of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Last Out Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents and applicable law.
          (c) The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), (i) agrees that the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Senior Loan Documents, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Security Document or subordinate the priority of the Senior Obligations to the First Lien Last Out Obligations or grant the Liens securing the First Lien Last Out Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or the First Lien Last Out Creditors may have as a First Lien Last Out Creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which any Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens


 

Page 14

granted in any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Creditors is adverse to the interest of the First Lien Last Out Creditors.
          (d) The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the First Lien Last Out Security Documents or any other First Lien Last Out Note Documents shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Loan Documents.
          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in preceding clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.1, at any time while a payment default exists with respect to the First Lien Last Out Obligations following the final maturity of the First Lien Last Out Obligations or the acceleration by the relevant First Lien Last Out Creditors of the maturity of all then outstanding First Lien Last Out Obligations, and in either case so long as 180 days have elapsed after notice thereof (and requesting that enforcement action be taken with respect to the Collateral) has been received by the Senior Collateral Agent and so long as the respective payment default shall not have been cured or waived (or the respective acceleration rescinded), the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors, and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors may, but only if the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Creditors are not pursuing enforcement preceding with respect to the Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner (with any determination of which Collateral to proceed against, and in what order, to be made by the Senior Collateral Agent or such Senior Creditors in their reasonable judgment), enforce the Liens on Collateral granted pursuant to the First Lien Last Out Security Documents, provided that (x) any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral received by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or such other First Lien Last Out Creditor, as the case may be, in connection with the enforcement of such Lien shall be applied in accordance with Section 4 hereof and (y) the Senior Collateral Agent or any other Senior Creditors may at any time take over such enforcement proceedings, provided that the Senior Collateral Agent or such Senior Creditors, as the case may be, pursues enforcement proceedings with respect to the Collateral in a commercially reasonably manner, with any determination of which Collateral to proceed against, and in what order, to be made by the Senior Collateral Agent or such Senior Creditors in their reasonable judgment, and provided further that the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or First Lien Last Out Creditors, as the case may be, shall only be able to recoup (from amounts realized by the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditors) in any enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral (whether initiated by the Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Creditors or taken over by them as contemplated above) any expenses incurred by them in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 4 hereof.
          SECTION 4. Payments.
          4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, any proceeds of any Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of any Security Document or the exercise of any remedial provision thereunder, together with all other proceeds received by any Creditor (including all funds received in respect of post-petition interest or fees and expenses) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provision or as a result of any distribution of or in respect of any Collateral (whether or not expressly


 

Page 15

characterized as such) upon or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, or the application of any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or proceeds thereof) upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Grantor, shall be applied by the Senior Collateral Agent to the Senior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Security Document. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Collateral Agent shall deliver to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent to the First Lien Last Out Obligations in such order as specified in the First Lien Last Out Security Documents.
          4.2 Payments Over. Until such time as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3 hereof) (or any distribution in respect of the Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditors in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral or otherwise that is inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditors in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Senior Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any such other First Lien Last Out Creditors. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
          SECTION 5. Other Agreements.
          5.1 Releases.
          (a) If, in connection with:
               (i) the exercise of the Senior Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1 hereof, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral (any of the foregoing, a “Remedial Action”);
               (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (any of the foregoing, a “Disposition”) of any Collateral permitted under the terms of the Senior Loan Documents (whether or not an “event of default” thereunder or under any First Lien Last Out Note Documents has occurred and is continuing); or
               (iii) any agreement (not contravening the Senior Loan Documents) between the Senior Collateral Agent and the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (x) to release the Senior Collateral Agent’s Lien on any portion of the Collateral (other than in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations or a Discharge of Senior Obligations) or (y) to release any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Senior Obligations (other than in connection with, or in anticipation of, a Discharge of Senior Credit Agreement Obligations or a Discharge of Senior Obligations);


 

Page 16

there occurs the release by the Senior Collateral Agent, acting on its own or at the direction of the Required Senior Creditors, of any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or of any Grantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the Senior Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Creditors, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guaranty of the First Lien Last Out Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such First Lien Last Out Creditors, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Senior Collateral Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as Senior Collateral Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release; provided however that if an “event of default” then exists under the First Lien Last Out Note Indenture and the Discharge of Senior Obligations occurs concurrently with any such release, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent (on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors) shall be entitled to receive the residual cash or cash equivalents (if any) remaining after giving effect to such release and the Discharge of Senior Obligations.
          (b) Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations occurs, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Senior Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Senior Collateral 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 First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or such other First Lien Last Out Creditor or in the Senior Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Senior Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
          (c) If, prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, a subordination of the Senior Collateral Agent’s Lien on any Collateral is permitted (or in good faith believed by the Senior Collateral Agent to be permitted) under the Senior Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the Senior Credit Agreement (a “Priority Lien”), then the Senior Collateral Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Senior Collateral Agent or the relevant Grantor an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Creditors to such Priority Lien.
          (d) Unless the Lien of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent on such Collateral shall has been or concurrently is released, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Collateral Agent and the Grantors shall at the request of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent have each control agreement assigned to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or otherwise have control of all Control Accounts to be transferred to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, in each case, to the extent that the First Lien Last Out Security Documents would entitle the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent to have control over Control Accounts.


 

Page 17

          (e) For purposes of this Section 5.01, as security for the payment and performance in full of all the First Lien Last Out Obligations each Grantor hereby grants to the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors a Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and under the Control Accounts and the cash, funds, checks, notes, “securities entitlements” (as such terms are defined in the UCC), instruments and other assets from time to time on deposit in any Control Account, wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time.
          5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Senior Creditors) shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Security Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditors pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, letters of credit and Hedging Agreements) and, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Creditors to the extent required under the First Lien Last Out Security Documents and then, to the extent no First Lien Last Out 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 First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditors shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Senior Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 of this Agreement.
          5.3 Amendments to Senior Loan Documents and First Lien Last Out Note Documents.
          (a) The Senior Loan Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Senior Credit Agreement may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement, modification or Refinancing of the Senior Credit Agreement shall, without the consent of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent increase the maximum aggregate principal of Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit thereunder to an amount in excess of the Cap Amount; provided, further, that the Senior Collateral Agent shall not enter into any amendment, change, waiver, modification or variance of the General Intercreditor Agreement that materially and adversely affects the rights and benefits of the First Lien Last Out Creditors (and not all Creditors in a like or similar manner) without the prior written consent of the of the trustee for the First Lien Last Out Notes unless such amendment is of the type described in Section 8.3 of


 

Page 18

the General Intercreditor Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term “Requisite Creditors” of the First Lien Last Out Creditors shall mean, with respect to the First Lien Last Out Obligations, the First Lien Last Out Notes Trustee (acting at the direction of First Lien Last Out Noteholders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of First Lien Last Out Notes).
          (b) Without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Senior Creditors), no First Lien Last Out Note Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, taken as a whole, would be materially adverse to the interests of the Senior Lenders. Each of the Parent Borrower and each other Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that each First Lien Last Out Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Senior Collateral Agent):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among RSC Holdings III, LLC, Rental Equipment Services, Inc., each other Grantor party thereto from time to time, Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch (“DBNY”), as Senior Collateral Agent, and DBNY, as First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
In addition, each of the Parent Borrower and each other Grantor agrees that each First Lien Last Out Security Document covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the Senior Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such First Lien Last Out Security Document to the Senior Security Document covering such Collateral.
          (c) In the event the Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors and the relevant Grantor(s) enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Collateral Agent, the other Senior Creditors, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the First Lien Last Out Note Indenture and the Comparable First Lien Last Out Security Document without the consent of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Last Out Creditors and without any action by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets subject to the Lien of the First Lien Last Out Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1 of this Agreement, (ii) imposing additional duties on the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent without its consent, or (iii) permitting other liens on the


 

Page 19

Collateral not permitted under the terms of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents or Section 6 hereof and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent).
          5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor that has guaranteed the First Lien Last Out Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditors of the required payments of interest and principal on the First Lien Last Out Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the First Lien Last Out Obligations are so subordinated to such Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Senior Collateral Agents or the other Senior Creditors may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.
          5.5 Bailee for Perfection.
          (a) (i) The Senior Collateral Agent agrees to acquire and acknowledges it holds the Pledged Collateral or other Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) on behalf of itself and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Senior Loan Documents and the First Lien Last Out Note Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.
          (ii) The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors hereby appoints the Senior Collateral Agent and the Senior Collateral Agent agrees to act as collateral agent on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors (x) under each control agreement relating to any deposit accounts or securities accounts subject to a control agreement in favor of the Senior Collateral Agent (the “Control Accounts”) solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors in such Control Accounts granted under the First Lien Last Out Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 and (y) solely for purposes of perfecting (and/or acting as representative of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors in order to perfect) the security interest of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors in Titled Goods granted under the First Lien Last Out Security Documents. The Senior Collateral Agent, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the Grantors each agree that each notation on a certificate of title with respect to any Titled


 

Page 20

Goods naming the Senior Collateral Agent as a secured party or a lien holder (whether made before or after the date hereof) shall be intended and construed to perfect the security interest of the Senior Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Creditors) in such Titled Goods and the security interest of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Creditors) in such Titled Goods.
          (b) Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral and the Control Accounts (and all deposits therein) in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Documents as if the Liens of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent under the First Lien Last Out Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the Senior Collateral Agent’s rights under the Senior Loan Documents.
          (c) The Senior Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Senior Creditors and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any First Lien Last Out Creditor to assure that any of the Pledged Collateral, the Control Accounts or any deposits therein are genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5.
          (d) The Senior Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not have by reason of the Senior Security Documents, the First Lien Last Out Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Senior Creditors, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor.
          (e) Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations:
               (i) the Senior Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, if any First Lien Last Out Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Parent Borrower or the relevant Grantor if no Senior Obligations or First Lien Last Out Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral), or to such other Person who may be entitled to such Pledged Collateral (as determined by the Senior Collateral Agent). The Senior Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person in connection with such Person’s obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; and
               (ii) Unless the Lien of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent on such Collateral shall has been or concurrently is released, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (x) the Senior Collateral Agent and the Grantors shall at the request of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent have each control agreement assigned to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or otherwise have control of all Control Accounts transferred to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, in each case, to the extent that the First Lien Last Out Security Documents would entitle the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent to have control over Control


 

Page 21

Accounts, and (y)(I) in the event the Senior Collateral Agent and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent are not the same entity, at the cost and expense of the Grantors all certificates of title with respect to Titled Goods naming Senior Collateral Agent as a secured party shall be re-submitted in order to remove the Senior Collateral Agent and to name the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent as a secured party (it being understood that the Senior Collateral Agent shall continue to hold the security interest granted pursuant to this paragraph until such certificates of title are so amended) and (II) in the event the Senior Collateral Agent and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent are the same entity, the Senior Collateral Agent’s interest in all entries on the certificates of title shall be automatically deemed assigned to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent.
          (f) For purposes of this Section 5.5, as security for the payment and performance in full of all the First Lien Last Out Obligations each Grantor hereby grants to the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors a Lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of such Grantor, in and to and under (i) such Control Accounts and the cash, funds, checks, notes, “securities entitlements” (as such terms are defined in the UCC), instruments and other assets from time to time on deposit in any such Control Account, and (ii) all such Titled Goods, in each case, wherever located and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time, to the extent any such property and assets is subject to a security interest under the First Lien Last Out Security Documents.
          5.6 When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor immediately thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any Senior Loan Document evidencing a Senior Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such Refinancing Senior Loan Document shall automatically be treated as Senior Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the collateral agent under such Senior Loan Documents shall be the Senior Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor has entered into a new Senior Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor or such New Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement.
          SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
          6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.(a) If the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Senior Collateral Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Senior Creditors) shall desire to permit the use of Cash Collateral (as defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) on which the Senior Collateral Agent or any other creditor of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor has a Lien or to permit the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing (including on a priming basis),


 

Page 22

whether from the Senior Creditors or any other third party under Section 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law (each, a “Post-Petition Financing”), then the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest, or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting (and each First Lien Last Out Creditor hereby shall be deemed to have consented to), such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed in writing by the Senior Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3 hereof) and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such Post-Petition Financing, its Liens on the Collateral shall be deemed to be subordinated, without any further action on the part of any person or entity, to the Liens securing such Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), and the Liens securing the First Lien Last Out Obligations shall have the same priority with respect to the Collateral relative to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as if such Post-Petition Financing had not occurred.
          (b) The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), agrees that it will raise no objection to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets.
          6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), agrees that none of them shall seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent.
          6.3 Adequate Protection. The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, and each other First Lien Last Out Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of the First Lien Last Out Note Documents), agrees that none of them shall (i) oppose, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) (a) any request by the Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors for adequate protection in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (or any granting of such request) or (b) any objection by the Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Senior Collateral Agent or the other Senior Creditors claiming a lack of adequate protection or (ii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 and/or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral, except to the extent that, in the sole discretion of the Senior Creditors, the receipt by the First Lien Last Out Creditors of any such adequate protection would not reduce (or would not have the effect of reducing) or adversely affect the adequate protection that the


 

Page 23

Senior Creditors otherwise would be entitled to receive (it being understood that, in any event, (A) no adequate protection shall be requested or accepted by the First Lien Last Out Creditors or by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent on their behalf unless the Senior Creditors are satisfied in their sole discretion with the adequate protection afforded to the Senior Creditors, and (B) any such adequate protection is in the form of a replacement Lien on the Grantors’ assets, such Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations (including any replacement Liens granted in respect of the Senior Obligations) and any Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the First Lien Last Out Obligations are so subordinated to the Senior Obligations under this Agreement.
          6.4 No Waiver; Voting Rights. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditor from objecting on any basis in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor, including the seeking by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditor of adequate protection or the assertion by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Last Out Creditors of any of its rights and remedies under the First Lien Last Out Note Documents or otherwise. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Last Out Creditor shall (i) oppose, object to, or vote against any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement, or join with or support any third party in doing so, to the extent the terms of such plan or disclosure statement comply with the following clause (ii) and are otherwise consistent with the rights of the Senior Creditors under this Agreement or (ii) support or vote for any plan of reorganization or disclosure statement of any Grantor unless (x) such plan provides for the payment in full in cash of all Senior Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6 hereof) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (y) such plan provides on account of the Senior Obligations for the retention by the Senior Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Obligations, and on all proceeds thereof, and such plan also provides that any Liens retained by, or granted to, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent are only on assets or property securing the Senior Obligations and shall have the same relative priority with respect to the Collateral or other assets or property, respectively, as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, and to the extent such plan provides for deferred cash payments, or for the distribution of any other property of any kind or nature, on account of the Senior Obligations or the First Lien Last Out Obligations, such plan provides that any such deferred cash payments or other distributions in respect of the First Lien Last Out Obligations shall be delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent and distributed in accordance with the priorities provided in Section 4.1 hereof, it being understood that, in the event that any plan is proposed by any debtor, creditor, or other party in interest in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding that is inconsistent with or purports to alter the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof and the priority of application of the proceeds of Collateral set forth therein), the Senior Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have been granted, as of the date hereof, an irrevocable power of attorney to vote the claims of the First Lien Last Out Creditors against any such plan, with such appointment being coupled with an interest, and the Senior Collateral Agent shall be deemed the “holder” of such claims within the meaning of Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as provided in this


 

Page 24

Section 6, the First Lien Last Out Creditors shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
          6.5 Preference Issues. If any Senior Creditor is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Senior Creditors shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. Any amounts received by the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent or any First Lien Last Out Creditor on account of the First Lien Last Out Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Creditors, for application to the reinstated Senior Obligations. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
          6.6 Post-Petition Interest.
          (a) Neither the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Last Out Creditor shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Creditor for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the Senior Creditors, and is intended to provide the Senior Creditors with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.
          (b) Without limiting the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto that (and to the maximum extent permitted by law the parties hereto agree that) the Senior Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the First Lien Last Out Obligations (and the security therefor).
          6.7 Waiver. The First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Lien Last Out Creditors, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Senior Creditor arising out of the election by any Senior Creditor of the application to the claims of any Senior Creditor of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.


 

Page 25

          6.8 Limitations. So long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, without the express written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent, none of the First Lien Last Out Creditors shall (or shall join with or support any third party making, opposing, objecting or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) make an election for application to its claims of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of the Senior Creditors or the value of any claims of Senior Creditors under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the Senior Creditors of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Without limitation of the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 8.3, with the written consent of each party hereto, this Agreement may be amended or modified in connection with one or more Grantors issuing Additional First Lien Last Out Notes and/or entering into an Additional First Lien Last Out Indenture to provide that a financial institution not then constituting a First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent shall constitute a First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent for the purposes of this Agreement or providing for additional “First Lien Last Out Collateral Agents” for purposes of this Agreement. Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights, interests, liabilities or privileges are directly affected.

          8.17 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Senior Creditors on the one hand and the First Lien Last Out Creditors on the other hand. None of the Parent Borrower, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Senior Obligations and the First Lien Last Out Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
          8.18 Grantors; Additional Grantors. It is understood and agreed that the Parent Borrower and each other Grantor on the date of this Agreement shall constitute the original Grantors hereto. The original Grantors hereby covenant and agree to cause each Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower which becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after the date hereof to contemporaneously become a party hereto (as a Grantor) by executing delivering a counterpart hereof to the Senior Collateral Agent or by executing and delivering an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Collateral Agent. The parties hereto further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person which becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor at any time (and any security granted by any such Person) shall be subject to the provisions hereof as fully as if same constituted a Grantor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
          8.19 Exclusive Collateral. For avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that:
          (a) RSC Canada, the other the Canadian Borrowers (as defined in the Senior Credit Agreement) and various Canadian Subsidiaries that guarantee (or may in the future guarantee) Senior Obligations incurred by RSC Canada and such other Canadian Borrowers and Canadian Subsidiaries have granted (or in the future shall grant) security interests in certain of their property securing only their Senior Obligations (the “Canadian Senior Exclusive Collateral”), and that as of the date of this Agreement, no such security interests have been provided by RSC Canada, any other Canadian Borrowers or any other such Canadian Subsidiaries to secure any First Lien Last Out Obligations. It is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that this Agreement (other than Sections 2.2, 2.3 and provisions dealing with Senior Exclusive Collateral) does not apply to any security interests granted by RSC Canada, the other Canadian Borrowers or any other Canadian Subsidiary to secure such Senior Obligations, and that any assets or property pledged by RSC Canada, the other Canadian Borrowers or any other Canadian Subsidiary to secure (or which are subject to a Lien to secure) any Senior Obligations shall not be subject to the terms or provisions of this Agreement (and shall not require that parallel security interests be granted in support of the First Lien Last Out Obligations); and
          (b) Holdings has granted security interests in certain of its property securing its Senior Obligations (the “Holdings Senior Exclusive Collateral” and, together with Canadian


 

Page 35

Senior Exclusive Collateral, collectively “Senior Exclusive Collateral”), and that as of the date of this Agreement, no such security interests have been provided by Holdings to secure any First Lien Last Out Obligations. It is understood and agreed by all parties hereto that this Agreement (other than Sections 2.2, 2.3 and provisions dealing with Senior Exclusive Collateral) does not apply to any security interests granted by Holdings to secure such Senior Obligations, and that any assets or property pledged by Holdings to secure (or which are subject to a Lien to secure) any Senior Obligations shall not be subject to the terms or provisions of this Agreement (and shall not require that parallel security interests be granted in support of the First Lien Last Out Obligations).
          8.20 Additional First Lien Last Out Obligations.
          (a) The Parent Borrower, RSC and the other Grantors may, from time to time, designate additional Indebtedness as “Additional First Lien Last Out Notes” for purposes of this Agreement and enter into Additional First Lien Last Out Note Indentures for the purposes of issuing such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes; provided that (i) the Indebtedness arising from such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes and such Additional First Lien Last Out Indentures and all Liens securing such Indebtedness shall be permitted under the Senior Credit Agreement (for this purpose without inclusion of any First Lien Last Out Note Document that may otherwise be included within the meaning of the Senior Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms of such definition), (ii) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the issuance of such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes, the Parent Borrower shall have delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent complete and correct copies of any First Lien Last Out Note Documents that will govern such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes (which may be unexecuted copies to be executed and delivered concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation) and (iii) the terms and conditions of the Additional First Lien Last Out Notes and the Additional First Lien Last Out Note Indentures shall be reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent (it being understood that the provisions of the Additional First Lien Last Out Notes and the Additional First Lien Last Out Note Indentures that are substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of the Initial First Lien Last Out Notes and the Initial First Lien Last Out Note Indentures, as the case may be, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the U.S. Administrative Agent).
          (b) Subject to the requirements of (a) above, upon the issuance of such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes, such notes will constitute “First Lien Last Out Obligations” and the holders thereof “First Lien Last Out Creditors” and “First Lien Last Out Noteholders” for purposes of this Agreement.
          (c) Subject to the requirements of (a) above, in connection with any issuance of Additional First Lien Last Out Notes, each of the Senior Collateral Agent and First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent agrees to make or consent to any filings, as may be reasonably deemed by the Parent Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on any Collateral to secure such Additional First Lien Last Out Notes to become a valid and perfected Lien.
          8.21 Certain Matters Relating to the General Intercreditor Agreement.


 

Page 36

          (a) The Senior Collateral Agent and the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent acknowledge that DBNY is acting as collateral agent for all the First-Lien Creditors (as defined in the General Intercreditor Agreement), including the First Lien Last Out Noteholders and the other First Lien Last Out Creditors. In furtherance thereof, the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent hereby appoints DBNY (together with its successors and assigns in the capacity of U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent (as defined in the General Intercreditor Agreement)) to act as a collateral agent on behalf of the First Lien Last Out Creditors in the capacity of U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent under the General Intercreditor Agreement, and DBNY (for itself and its successors and assigns in the capacity of U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent) agrees to act in such capacity under the General Intercreditor Agreement. The U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent agrees that, without consent of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent will not agree to any amendment to the General Intercreditor Agreement that would materially and adversely affect the rights of the First Lien Last Out Creditors as First-Lien Creditors, other than any such amendment that does not affect the First Lien Last Out Creditors differently from other First-Lien Creditors (as conclusively determined in good faith by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent) or that is permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any First Lien Last Out Note Indenture. It is understood that any amendment to the General Intercreditor Agreement made pursuant to the proviso in Section 8.3 of the General Intercreditor Agreement, or action by the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent in connection therewith shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect the rights of the First Lien Last Out Creditors as First-Lien Creditors.
          (b) In the event that the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent receives any notice under the General Intercreditor Agreement (including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(e) of the General Intercreditor Agreement) or intends to deliver any notice under the General Intercreditor Agreement, it shall promptly deliver a copy of such notice to the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent; provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the General Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise affect the provisions of this Agreement of the General Intercreditor Agreement.
          (c) Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, DBNY (or other U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent) shall (i) continue to act as U.S. First Lien Collateral Agent for the then existing First-Lien Creditors, including the First Lien Last Out Creditors, or (ii) assign its rights and duties as U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent to the then First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent. Each of the First Lien Last Out Collateral Agent and the Grantors agree that, in the event that the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent continues to act as U.S. First Lien Collateral Agent as provided in the preceding sentence, the U.S. First-Lien Collateral Agent shall continue to benefit from the provisions of Section 10 of the Senior Credit Agreement and the corresponding provisions of the other Senior Documents, notwithstanding the Discharge of Senior Obligations.
