Notwithstanding any failure by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Common Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in the Common Collateral granted to the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties, the priority and rights as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

2.3 Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties that all Second Priority Security Documents shall be deemed to contain the following notation: “The

lien created by [this Agreement] on the property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any similar instrument now or hereafter granted to The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent, and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 18, 2011, among The Bank of Nova Scotia, as First Priority Representative, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Second Priority Representative, Seagate HDD Cayman, Seagate Technology International and the other Loan Parties referred to therein, as amended from time to time.”

Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party acting on its behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Common Collateral be yond those specified in this Agreement and the Second Priority Security Documents, provided that as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the First Priority Representative shall (i) deliver to the Second Priority Representative, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Second Priority Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Common Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise directs; provided, however, that the provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Priority Secured Parties any obligations in respect of the disposition of any Common Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would conflict with prior perfected Lie ns or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not a Secured Party. The Loan Parties shall take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by the Second Priority Representative to effectuate the transfer of the Common Collateral upon the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date to the Second Priority Representative contemplated hereby.

2.4 No New Liens. So long as the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that (a) unless otherwise agreed by the First Priority Representative, there shall be no Lien, and no Loan Party shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing the First Priority Obligations and (b) if any Second Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority Obligation which assets are not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Priority Representative under the First Priority Documents, then the Second Priority Representative, upon demand by the First Priority Representativ e, will without the need for any further consent of any other Second Priority Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Second Priority Document, either (i) release such Lien (to

the extent permitted by the Existing Second Priority Agreement) or (ii) assign it to the First Priority Representative as security for the First Priority Obligations (in which case the Second Priority Representative may retain a junior lien on such assets subject to the terms hereof). To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties agree 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 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including, without limitation, any such Common Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

4.2 Releases of Second Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or disposition of Common Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Documents that results in the release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any sale or other disposition pursuant to any Enforcement Action), the Second Priority Lien on such Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral remaining after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person, unless, in the case of any such release, sale or disposition of the Common Collateral (other than pursuant to any Enforcement Action), such release of the Second Priority Lien would not then be permi tted under the Existing Second Priority Agreement.

(b) The Second Priority Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the First Priority Representative shall request to evidence any release of the Second Priority Lien described in paragraph (a). The Second Priority Representative hereby appoints the First Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the First Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Second Priority Representative and in the name of the Second Priority Representative or in the First Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the First Priority Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

4.3 Inspection Rights and Insurance. (a) Any First Priority Secured Party and its representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with

the Common Collateral, and the First Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Second Priority Secured Party or liability to any Second Priority Secured Party.

(b) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the First Priority Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that the Second Priority Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss payee so long as its second lien status is identified in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative), (ii) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (iii) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.

4.4 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Second Lien Issuer, the Borrower or any other Loan Party that has guaranteed the Second Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents and applicable law, including, without limitation, the acceleration of any Indebtedness or other obligations owing under the Second Priority Documents or the demand for payment under the guarantee in respect thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Parties of the required payments of interest and principal (and premium, if any) so lo ng as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Trustee, the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral. In the event that the Second Priority Representative of any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of the Second Priority Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing the First Priority Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 5. Insolvency Proceedings.

5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties that no Second Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleading or motion, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Common Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the First Priority Representative (including, without limitation, the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, provided that

(a) the Second Priority Representative may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Second Priority Representative imposed hereby, (b) to the extent it would not prevent, restrict or otherwise limit any rights granted or created hereunder or under any First Priority Security Documents in favor of the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party in respect of the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleadings made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims in respect of the Second Priority Obligations, including, without l imitation, any claims secured by the Common Collateral, if any, in each case in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and (c) present a cash or credit bid in connection with any disposition of Common Collateral pursuant to a sale of assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, so long as (i) the cash portion of any such bid is sufficient to result in the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date and (ii) the First Priority Representative is reasonably satisfied that such cash or credit bid is likely to be consummated.

5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative (acting at the direction of the requisite First Priority Secured Parties) desires to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party (a) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in paragraph 5.4 below and (c) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens (i) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any replacement liens provided as adequate protection to the First Priority Secured Parties on the same terms as the Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (x) $550,000,000 of new com mitments plus (y) any amounts outstanding under the First Priority Agreement upon the commencement of the applicable Insolvency Proceeding (including, without limitation, Hedging Obligations, Cash Management Obligations and Platinum Lease Obligations) that are converted, exchanged or otherwise rolled into the post-petition obligations outstanding under the DIP facility.

5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. The Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that prior to the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or

from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative.

5.4 Adequate Protection. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties or (b) any objection by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses, costs, charges or other amounts to the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party u nder Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in Section 5.2(b) (but subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, and the First Priority Secured Parties do not object to the adequate protection being provided to them, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priorit y Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Obligations under this Agreement and (y) superpriority claims under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Priority Secured Parties under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, provided, however, the Second Priority Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, seeks or accepts adequate protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this

Agreement. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative.

5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be rein stated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. Neither the Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the First Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Priority Representative and each other Second Priority Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the First Priority Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such assets.

5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Priority Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any Chapter 11 plan proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held

by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties, with the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties).

5.8 No Waivers of Rights of First Priority Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including, without limitation, the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection (except as provided in Section 5.4) or the asserting by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents or otherwise.

5.9 Chapter 11 Plans. No Second Priority Secured Party shall support or vote in favor of any Chapter 11 plan (or any analogous plan or scheme in any other jurisdiction) (and each shall be deemed to have voted to reject any such plan or scheme) unless such plan or scheme (a) pays off, in cash in full, all First Priority Obligations or (b) is accepted by the class of holders of First Priority Obligations voting thereon.

5.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.

5.11 Post-Petition Claims. (a) None of the Second Priority Representative, the Trustee or any Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Priority Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest or indemnities to the extent of the value of the Lien in favor of the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Priority Representative on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral.

(b) None of the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Priority Representative, the Trustee or any Second Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Second Priority Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest or indemnities to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Priority Representative on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral (after taking into account the Liens in favor of the First Priority Representative).

5.12 Purchase Right. (a) If the First Priority Obligations shall have been accelerated (including, without limitation, any automatic acceleration in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower) or shall remain unpaid immediately following the Maturity Date (as defined in the First Priority Agreement) (each, a “Purchase Event”), the Second Priority Creditors shall have the option, within 30 days after such Purchase Event, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Second Priority Representative to the First Priority Representative (with copies to STX, the Borrower and the Second Lien Issuer) to purchase all, and not less than all, of the First Priority Obligations from the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors at par. Such notice from the Second Priority Representative shall be irrevocable. If the Second Priority Representative does not exercise such right within 30 days after the first date on which a Purchase Event occurs, the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.12 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with this Agreement and the other First Priority Documents.

(b) On the date (the “Purchase Date”) specified by the Second Priority Representative in such notice (which shall not be less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than ten (10) Business Days, after the receipt by the First Priority Representative of the notice from the Second Priority Representative of the election by the Second Priority Creditors to exercise such option), the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors shall sell to the Second Priority Creditors exercising such option, and such Second Priority Creditors shall purchase from the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors, the First Priority Obligations without the prior written consent of STX, the Borrower or any other Loan Party. The Second Priority Creditors that have exercised such option shall be irr evocably and unconditionally obligated to effect such purchase on the terms set forth in this Section 5.12 no later than the Purchase Date.

(c) Upon the Purchase Date, the Second Priority Creditors that have exercised such option shall, pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the First Priority Representative and the Second Priority Representative, (i) pay in cash to the First Priority Creditors as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the First Lien Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including, without limitation, principal, outstanding reimbursement obligations in respect of, if any, drawings theretofore paid under letters of credit, all Hedging Obligations, interest, fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) at par, (ii) cash collateralize, if any, all letters of credit outstanding under the First Priority Agreement in an amount reasonably satisfac tory to the First Priority Representative but in no event greater than 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount thereof, (iii) agree to reimburse the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors for any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Priority Obligations, and/or as to which the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Creditors has not yet received final payment, (iv) without duplication of (i), agree to reimburse the First Priority Representative and the other First Priority Creditors for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding letters of credit and any checks or other

payments provisionally credited to the First Priority Obligations, and/or as to which the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Creditor has not yet received final payment and (v) without duplication of (i) agree to reimburse, within five (5) Business Days of written demand by the First Priority Representative therefor, the First Priority Representative and the other First Priority Creditors in respect of indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses to any First Priority Creditor). Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the First Priority Representative for the ratable account of the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors in New York, New York, as the First P riority Representative may designate in writing to the Second Priority Representative for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Second Priority Creditors that have exercised such option to the bank account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day and interest shall be calculated to and including, without limitation, such Business Day if the amounts so paid by such Second Priority Creditors to the bank account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day.

(d) Such purchase shall be expressly made without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind by the First Priority Representative or any First Priority Creditor as to the First Priority Obligations owed to such Person or otherwise, except that each such Person shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Priority Obligations being sold by it, (ii) that such Person has not created any Lien on any First Priority Obligation being sold by it and (iii) that such Person has the right to assign First Priority Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment is duly authorized.

SECTION 6. Second Priority Documents and First Priority Documents.

(a) Each Loan Party and the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the Second Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement.

(b) Each Loan Party and the First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the First Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement.

(c) In the event the First Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the

Comparable Second Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by any Second Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof), provided that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (A) removing assets subject to the Lien of any Second Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2 and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the First Priority Obligations, (B) imposing additional duties on the Second Priority Representative without its consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or (C) permitting any additional obligations (other than (x) additional indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the First Priority Agreement in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the l imit set forth in the last sentence of the definition thereof and (y) any other obligations contemplated by Article 5 hereof) to be secured by a Lien on the Common Collateral, (ii) any such amendment, waiver or consent that is prejudicial to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties to a greater extent than the First Priority Secured Parties shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents without the consent of the Second Priority Representative and (iii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Second Priority Representative promptly (but in no event later than 10 days after its effectiveness), provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.
