Section 2.4. Release of Liens.

(a) In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent or by any of the Loan Parties with the consent of the ABL Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the ABL Documents, or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the ABL Documents or consented to by the requisite ABL Lenders (and, so long as no Event of Default under the ABL Documents has occurred and is continuing, is permitted by the Term Documents, without giving effect to any amendments thereof which are more restrictive than those provisions in effect on the date hereof (other than amendments which conform to amendments to the ABL Documents or which are otherwise consented to by the ABL Agent)), the Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders that such sale, transfer or other disposition will be free and clear of the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations, and the Term Agent’s and the Term Credit Parties’ Liens with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, or disposed shall terminate and be automatically released without further action concurrently with, and to the same extent as, the release of the ABL Credit Parties’ Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral; provided that, the ABL Agent shall have furnished the Term Agent with ten (10) days notice of any such disposition; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, the Term Credit Parties’ Liens in respect of the Proceeds of such ABL Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, or disposed shall continue to exist to the same extent, and with the same relative priorities, as the ABL Credit Parties’ Liens on such Proceeds; and provided, further, that to the extent Proceeds are required to repay obligations, such Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1(b). In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, the Term Agent agrees that it will promptly execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the ABL Agent in connection therewith. The Term Agent hereby appoints the ABL Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the ABL Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney to be exercised if the Term Agent does not take such action within five (5) days after written notice, in the place and stead of the Term Agent and in the name of the Term Agent or in the ABL Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, 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 paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

(b) In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the Term Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the Term Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Term Documents, or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the Term Priority Collateral (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c)), so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the Term Documents or consented to by the requisite Term Lenders (and, so long as no Event of Default under the Term Documents has occurred and is continuing, is permitted by the ABL Documents, without giving effect to any amendments thereof which are more restrictive than

those provisions in effect on the date hereof (other than amendments which conform to amendments to the Term Documents or which are otherwise consented to by the Term Agent)), the ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, that such sale, transfer or disposition will be free and clear of the Liens on such Term Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Credit Parties’ Liens with respect to the Term Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, or disposed shall terminate and be automatically released without further action concurrently with, and to the same extent as, the release of the Term Credit Parties’ Liens on such Term Priority Collateral; provided that, the Term Agent shall have furnished the ABL Agent with ten (10) days notice of any such disposition; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Credit Parties’ Liens in respect of the Proceeds of such Term Priority Collateral so sold, transferred, or disposed shall continue to exist to the same extent, and with the same relative priorities, as the Term Credit Parties’ Liens on such Proceeds; and provided, further, that to the extent Proceeds are required to repay obligations, such Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.1(c). In furtherance of, and subject to, the foregoing, the ABL Agent agrees that it will promptly execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Term Agent in connection therewith. The ABL Agent hereby appoints the Term Agent and any officer or duly authorized person of the Term Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney to be exercised if the ABL Agent does not take such action within five (5) days after written notice, in the place and stead of the ABL Agent and in the name of the ABL Agent or in the Term Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the Term Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, 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 paragraph, including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

Section 2.5. No New Liens. (a) Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, the parties hereto agree that it is the anticipation of the parties, none of Term Agent or any Term Credit Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets securing any Term Obligations which assets are not also subject to the Lien of ABL Agent under the ABL Documents. If any of Term Agent or Term Credit Party shall nonetheless acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Term Obligations which assets are not also subject to the Lien of ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, then Term Agent (or the relevant Term Credit Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Credit Party or any Loan Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of ABL Agent and the other ABL Credit Parties as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the lien priority set forth in Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify ABL Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.

(b) Until the date upon which the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred, the parties hereto agree that it is the anticipation of the parties, none of ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets securing any ABL Obligations which assets are not also subject to the Lien of Term Agent under the Term Documents. If any of ABL Agent or ABL Credit Party shall nonetheless acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any ABL Obligations which assets are not also

subject to the Lien of Term Agent under the Term Documents, then ABL Agent (or the relevant ABL Credit Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Credit Party or any Loan Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of Term Agent and the other Term Credit Parties as security for the Term Obligations (subject to the lien priority set forth in Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify Term Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.

(c) To effectuate the foregoing sharing of Liens, each of ABL Agent and Term Agent agrees that the documentation evidencing or perfecting the Collateral granted to it in which the other Agent has not received a direct grant of a Lien shall explicitly include provisions granting each Agent a Lien thereon, and, with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral, furnishing the ABL Agent with “control” (as defined in the UCC), to the extent applicable.

Section 2.6. Waiver of Marshalling.

(a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

(b) Until the Discharge of Term Obligations, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Term Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

ARTICLE 3.

ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 3.1. Certain Actions Permitted. The Term Agent and the ABL Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Term Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party of the payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Term Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party of the payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to Term Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

Section 3.2. Agent for Perfection. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Credit Party, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Term Credit Party, as applicable, each acknowledge and agree to hold all Control Collateral in its respective possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either, including, without limitation, landlords, freight forwarders and other bailees) as agent for the benefit of, and on behalf of, the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. None of the ABL Agent, the ABL Credit Parties, the Term Agent, or the Term Credit Parties, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Collateral is genuine or owned by any relevant Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral as agent for the other Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Term Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable. The ABL Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the Term Credit Parties or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Credit Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the Term Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Term Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the ABL Credit Parties, or any other Person.

Section 3.3. Sharing of Information and Access; Notices of Default.

(a) In the event that the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Term Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall, upon request from the Term Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Term Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Term Agent copies thereof. In the event that the Term Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any ABL Loan Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall, upon request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Agent copies thereof.

(b) Each Agent shall give to the other Agent concurrently with the giving thereof to any Loan Party (a) a copy of any written notice by such Agent of an ABL Event of Default or a Term Loan Event of Default, as the case may be, or a written notice of demand for payment from any Loan Party and (b) a copy of any written notice sent by such Agent to any Loan Party stating such Agent’s intention to exercise any material enforcement rights or remedies against such Loan Party, including written notice pertaining to any foreclosure on all or any material part of its Liens or other judicial or non-judicial remedy in respect thereof, and any legal process served or filed in connection therewith; provided that the failure of any Agent to give such required notice shall not result in any liability to such Agent or affect the enforceability

of any provision of this Agreement, including the relative priorities of the Liens of the Agents and Credit Parties as provided herein, and shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against any Loan Party or of any action taken pursuant to such notice or in relation to the events giving rise thereto; provided, further, that the foregoing shall not in any way impair any claims that any Agent may have against the other Agent as a result of any failure of such Agent to provide any notice in connection with a foreclosure against the Collateral by such Agent as required under applicable law.

(c) Each Agent shall promptly provide to the other Agent copies of all collateral reports, appraisals, results of commercial finance examinations and physical inventories that it receives (the “Collateral Due Diligence”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Term Documents, as long as the ABL Agent undertakes the inventory appraisals and commercial finance examinations as provided in Section 6.10 of the ABL Credit Agreement and promptly shares the results of such with the Term Agent, the Term Agent shall not conduct inventory appraisals or undertake commercial finance examinations; provided that to the extent that the ABL Agent does not undertake the inventory appraisals or commercial finance examinations at the times, and with the frequency, permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement (other than inventory appraisals and commercial finance examinations which may be undertaken at the expense of the ABL Credit Parties), the Term Agent may engage the most recent appraiser or examiner (or another appraiser or examiner reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), as applicable, to do so, and the net orderly liquidation value set forth in such inventory appraisal, if lower than that contained in the most recent inventory appraisal obtained by the ABL Agent, shall thereafter be utilized in calculating the ABL Borrowing Base and the Term Loan Borrowing Base until a subsequent inventory appraisal is completed.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the ABL Documents, as long as the Term Agent undertakes the Equipment appraisals as provided in Section 6.10 of the Term Loan Agreement and promptly shares the results of such with the ABL Agent, the ABL Agent shall not conduct Equipment appraisals; provided that to the extent that the Term Agent does not undertake the Equipment appraisals at the times, and with the frequency, permitted under the Term Loan Agreement (other than Equipment appraisals which may be undertaken at the expense of the Term Loan Parties), the ABL Agent may engage the most recent appraiser (or another appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Term Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), as applicable, to do so.

Section 3.4. Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Agent and the Term Agent shall each be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Collateral, as their respective interests may appear. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in a commercially reasonable manner in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Term Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in a commercially reasonable manner in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Term Priority Collateral. If any insurance claim includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term

Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, and if the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties. All Proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and each of the Term Agent and ABL Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.

Section 3.5. No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6, if any ABL Credit Party or Term Credit Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Loan Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Credit Party or Term Credit Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Credit Party or Term Credit Party.

Section 3.6. Inspection and Access Rights. (a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Agent or any other ABL Credit Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation (including, without limitation, by means of a sale pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code) of the ABL Priority Collateral (or any other Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent) and whether or not the Term Agent or any other Term Credit Party has commenced and is continuing the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies of the Term Agent, the ABL Agent or any other Person (including any ABL Loan Party) acting with the consent, or on behalf, of the ABL Agent, shall have the right (i) during normal business hours on any Business Day, to access ABL Priority Collateral that (x) is stored or located in or on, or (y) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code), and (ii) during the Use Period shall have the right to use, the Term Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, Equipment, and Fixtures, but excluding cash proceeds of Term Priority Collateral), each of the foregoing in order to assemble, inspect, copy or download information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, complete a production run of Inventory involving, take possession of, move, prepare and advertise for sale, sell (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any ABL Loan Party’s business), store or otherwise deal with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, without the involvement of or interference by any Term Credit Party or liability to any Term Credit Party. In the event that any ABL Credit Party has commenced and is continuing the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or any other sale or liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral has been commenced by an ABL Loan Party (with the consent of the ABL Agent), the Term Agent may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer the related Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use Period, unless the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.6.

(b) During the period of use and/or control by the ABL Credit Parties and/or the ABL Agent (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Credit Parties and the ABL Agent shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Term Priority

Collateral resulting directly from such use or control, and to leave such Term Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 3.6, the ABL Credit Parties and the ABL Agent shall cooperate with the Term Credit Parties and/or the Term Agent in connection with any efforts made by the Term Credit Parties and/or the Term Agent to sell the Term Priority Collateral.

(c) The ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Term Agent or the Term Credit Parties (or any person claiming by, through or under the Term Credit Parties, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to the ABL Loan Parties, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties of the Term Priority Collateral prior to the termination of the Use Period.

(d) The ABL Credit Parties shall (i) use the Term Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law; (ii) insure for damage to property and liability to persons, including property and liability insurance for the benefit of the Term Credit Parties; and (iii) indemnify the Term Credit Parties from any claim, loss, damage, cost or liability arising directly from the ABL Credit Parties’ use of the Term Priority Collateral (except for those arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Term Credit Party).

(e) The Term Agent and the other Term Credit Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not hinder or obstruct the ABL Agent and the other ABL Credit Parties from exercising the rights described in Section 3.6(a) hereof.

(f) Subject to the terms hereof, the Term Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Term Priority Collateral without notice (except as required by applicable law) to any ABL Credit Party, the involvement of or interference by any ABL Credit Party or liability to any ABL Credit Party as long as, in the case of an actual sale, the respective purchaser assumes and agrees to the obligations of the Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties under this Section 3.6.

(g) In the event that ABL Priority Collateral shall include real estate interests and Term Priority Collateral is stored or located in or on or has become an accession to such ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall provide the Term Agent with reasonable use and access to such ABL Priority Collateral in order to access, inspect, remove and sell such Term Priority Collateral.

Section 3.7. Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Credit Parties, and the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Credit Parties, further agree that any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited in Deposit Accounts subject to control agreements, which are used by any Loan Party to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents and the Credit Parties) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. Unless and until all Obligations shall have been paid in full, (a) any payment received in contravention of this Agreement or (b) any Collateral or proceeds thereof not constituting its Priority Collateral received by any Agent in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid

over to the applicable Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the ABL Agent is hereby permitted to deem all collections and payments deposited in any Deposit Account (other than Term Loan Priority Account or any Agent Payment Account (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement)), lockbox, securities accounts, commodity accounts, Blocked Accounts or the Concentration Account to be proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral and no such funds credited to any such account shall be subject to disgorgement or be deemed to be held in trust by the ABL Agent for the benefit of the Term Agent and other Term Credit Parties; provided that with respect to any such funds that are proceeds of Term Priority Collateral credited to any such account (i) which funds are known by a loan officer of the ABL Agent to be proceeds of Term Priority Collateral prior to the application of such funds by the ABL Agent to the ABL Obligations and a subsequent credit extension under the ABL Credit Agreement, or (ii) which are identified in a Term Loan Cash Proceeds Notice (which shall be effective with respect to the cash proceeds identified therein) received by the ABL Agent prior to the application of such funds by the ABL Agent to the ABL Obligations and a subsequent credit extension under the ABL Credit Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the ABL Agent shall turn over any misdirected proceeds of the Term Priority Collateral to the Term Agent.

Section 3.8. Payments Over.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Term Obligations has not occurred, any Term Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof not constituting ABL Priority Collateral received by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Credit Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the Term Priority Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Term Agent for the benefit of the Term Credit Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Term Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the ABL Agent or any such other ABL Credit Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, any ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof not constituting Term Priority Collateral received by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Parties in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the ABL Priority Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Credit Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Agent or any such Term Credit Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 3.9. Legends. The ABL Agent acknowledges with respect to the ABL Collateral Documents, on the one hand, and the Term Agent acknowledges with respect to the Term Collateral Documents, on the other hand, that such documents will contain the following legend:

Intercreditor Agreement. The Loan Parties, the [Lender][Agent] and the other Credit Parties acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the [Lender’s][Agent’s] rights and remedies hereunder may be subject to, and restricted by, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control. The [Lender][Agent], on behalf of itself and the other Credit Parties, acknowledges and agrees that it and the other Credit Parties shall be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 3.10. Term Loan Push Down Reserve. For the purposes of determining the Term Loan Push Down Reserve under the ABL Credit Agreement, each of the Term Agent and the Loan Parties agrees that the ABL Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on the calculation thereof made by the Borrowers as reflected in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrowers to the ABL Agent, unless the ABL Agent is notified in writing by the Term Agent that such calculation is inaccurate and provides the ABL Agent with the correct calculation of the Term Loan Push Down Reserve (“Term Loan Reserve Correction Notice”), and, in such event, the ABL Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on the calculation of the Term Loan Push Down Reserve made by the Term Agent as reflected in the Term Loan Reserve Correction Notice. Each of the Term Agent and the Loan Parties agrees that neither the ABL Agent nor the ABL Credit Parties shall have any liability for relying on the calculation of the Term Loan Push Down Reserve as set forth in a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrowers or in the Term Loan Reserve Correction Notice delivered by the Term Agent, as the case may be. Each of the Term Agent and the Loan Parties agrees that in the event of any discrepancy or dispute between the Term Agent and the Loan Parties as to the amount of the Term Loan Push Down Reserve, the ABL Agent shall be entitled to rely solely on the calculation of the Term Loan Push Down Reserve as determined by the Term Agent and shall have no liability to any Person for doing so. In all cases, the Borrowing Base shall be calculated based upon the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate received by ABL Agent pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement prior to funding of loans or advances by an ABL Lender or the issuance, renewal or amendment of a Letter of Credit by the L/C Issuer (it being understood and agreed that the use of cash collateral in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall not constitute a funding of a loan or other advance).

Section 3.11. Agreement of ABL Agent and ABL Lenders. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Lenders, agrees that it shall not make, issue or incur any loans or letters of credit under the ABL Credit Agreement during a Financial Covenant Default Period (other than Protective Advances within the limits of clauses (ii) and (iii) of the defined term “Maximum ABL Facility Amount”).

The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and that no application of any Collateral or the release of any Lien pursuant to Section 2.4 by the ABL Agent upon any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition by the ABL Loan Parties under any ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be (subject to the terms of this Agreement) modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be (subject to the terms of this Agreement) increased, replaced or refinanced (up to the Maximum ABL Facility Amount), in each event, without notice to or consent by the Term Credit Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all ABL Priority Collateral received by the ABL Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time; provided, however, that from and after the date on which the ABL Agent (or any ABL Credit Party) or the Term Agent (or any Term Credit Party) commences the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all amounts received by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1. The Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, or any portion thereof.

(b) Application of Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c), the ABL Agent and the Term Agent hereby agree that all ABL Priority Collateral, ABL Priority Proceeds and all other Proceeds thereof, received by either of them (i) in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, or (iii) following the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, in each case, shall be applied,

first, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of the ABL Agent in connection with the administration of its financing arrangements with Loan Parties and/or the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies,

second, to the payment of the ABL Obligations (other than the Excess ABL Obligations) in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL Obligations (other than the Excess ABL Obligations) shall have occurred,

third, to the payment of the Term Obligations (other than the Excess Term Obligations) in accordance with the Term Documents until the Discharge of Term Obligations (other than the Excess Term Obligations) shall have occurred,

fourth, to the payment of the Excess ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred,

fifth, to the payment of the Excess Term Obligations in accordance with the Term Documents until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred, and

(c) Application of Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(c), the ABL Agent and the Term Agent hereby agree that all Term Priority Collateral, Term Priority Proceeds and all other Proceeds thereof, received by either of them (i) in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, (ii) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the Term Priority Collateral, or (iii) following the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, in each case, shall be applied,

first, to the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of the Term Agent in connection with the administration of its financing arrangements with Loan Parties and/or such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies,

second, to the payment of the Term Obligations (other than the Excess Term Obligations) in accordance with the Term Documents until the Discharge of Term Obligations (other than the Excess Term Obligations) shall have occurred,

third, to the payment of the ABL Obligations (other than the Excess ABL Obligations) in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL Obligations (other than the Excess ABL Obligations) shall have occurred,

fifth, to the payment of the Excess ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, and

sixth, the balance, if any, to the Loan Parties or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(d) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Term Agent or to any Term Credit Party, and the Term Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party, regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the Parties hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Credit Party on the grounds that any sale, transfer or other disposition or any collection by the Credit Party was not commercially reasonable in every respect as required by the Uniform Commercial Code.

(e) Turnover of Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent shall deliver to the Term Agent or shall execute such documents as the Term Agent may reasonably request (at the expense of the Term Borrowers) to enable the Term Agent to have control over any Control Collateral still in the ABL Agent’s possession, custody, or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Upon the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Term Agent shall deliver to the ABL Agent or shall execute such documents as the ABL Agent may reasonably request (at the expense of the relevant Loan Parties) to enable the ABL Agent to have control over any Control Collateral still in the Term Agent’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 4.2. Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not any relevant Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, at any time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to it. Each of the ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

All Term Obligations at any time made or incurred by any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, hereby waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party of this Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Term Obligations.

(b) None of the ABL Agent, any ABL Credit Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take

any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to any ABL Credit Agreement or any of the other ABL Documents, whether the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any Term Loan Agreement or any other Term Document or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under any ABL Documents (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), neither the ABL Agent nor any ABL Credit Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the terms and provisions of this Agreement). The ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under any ABL Credit Agreement and any of the other ABL Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Term Agent or any of the Term Credit Parties have in the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

(c) None of the Term Agent, any Term Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds, or for any delay in doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to any Term Loan Agreement or any of the other Term Documents, whether the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Term Documents (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), neither the Term Agent nor any Term Credit Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the terms and provisions of this Agreement). The Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans under the Term Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans without regard to any rights or interests that the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party has in the Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees that none of the Term Agent or the Term Credit Parties shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application, or other disposition of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof, pursuant to the Term Documents, so long as such disposition is conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.2. Modifications to ABL Documents and Term Documents.

(a) The ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties may at any time and from time to time and without the consent of or notice to the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party, without incurring any liability to the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party and without impairing or releasing any rights or obligations hereunder or otherwise, amend, restate, supplement, modify, waive, substitute, renew, refinance, or replace any or all of the ABL Documents; provided, however, that without the consent of the Term Agent, the ABL Credit Parties shall not amend, restate, supplement, modify, waive, substitute, renew, refinance or replace any or all of the ABL Documents to:

(1) increase the rates of interest set forth in the definition of “Applicable Margin” as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement by more than 2.00% per annum at any level of the pricing grid applicable thereto (other than any increase occurring because of fluctuations in underlying rate indices or the imposition of the Default Rate (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement), or increase the percentage set forth in the definition of “Default Rate” set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement by more than 2.00% per annum above the rate applicable thereto (other than any increase occurring because of fluctuations in underlying rate indices), or increase the percentage set forth in Section 2.09(a) (“Commitment Fee”) of the ABL Credit Agreement by more than 0.75% per annum above the rate applicable thereto (other than any increase occurring because of fluctuations in underlying rate indices);

(2) shorten the scheduled maturity of the ABL Obligations;

(3) change any conditions, covenants, defaults or events of default thereunder that expressly restricts any Loan Party from making payments of the Term Obligations that would otherwise be permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof (other than as expressly provided herein);

(4) increase the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the loans and outstanding Letters of Credit made, issued or incurred under the ABL Credit Agreement and any DIP Financing in excess of the amount of the Maximum ABL Facility Amount;

(5) change the definitions of “Excess Availability”, “Tranche A Borrowing Base” or “Combined Borrowing Base” contained in the ABL Credit Agreement and any component definition thereof (including, without limitation, “Borrowing Base” and “Term Loan Borrowing Base” and any component definition thereof), or the definitions of “Overadvance,” “Permitted Overadvance”, “Inadvertent Overadvance”, “Borrowing Base Certificate”, “Availability Reserves” or “Term Loan Push-Down Reserve” or any component definition of any thereof, each as set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement, in a manner which would effect an increase in the ABL Borrowing Base or any component thereof or otherwise result in more credit being available to the Loan Parties;

(6) fail to establish and maintain (i) any Availability Reserve in effect on the date hereof or (ii) the Term Loan Push-Down Reserve as and when required under the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof; provided that, in each case the amount of such Availability Reserves (other than the Term Loan Push-Down Reserve) may be adjusted based on changes in the facts or circumstances that gave rise thereto (as long as the methodology for the calculation thereof is not modified), and the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the ABL Agent to establish, eliminate and adjust the amount of any other Availability Reserves (other than the Term Loan Push-Down Reserve) not in effect on the date hereof;

(7) (i) amend or modify the definition of “Covenant Compliance Event”, “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or any component definition thereof, or the terms of Section 7.15 of the ABL Credit Agreement, or (ii) waive any Financial Covenant Default;

(8) extend the dates on which Borrowing Base Certificates are required to be delivered by the Borrower or waive the delivery of any Borrowing Base Certificates required to be delivered by the Borrower (including, in each case, by forbearance relative to any ABL Event of Default arising from such failure), provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the ABL Agent to require more frequent reporting; or

(9) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Eligible Assignee” or the provisions of Section 10.06 of the ABL Credit Agreement in a manner which would modify or waive the restrictions on assignments or participations of ABL Obligations to the ABL Loan Parties or their Affiliates; or

(10) amend the ABL Documents in any manner which would have the effect of contravening the terms of this Agreement;

provided, however, the provisions of this Section 5.2(a) shall not limit, restrict or impair the discretionary rights and ability of the ABL Agent to (1) modify, reduce, increase or eliminate any and all other Reserves (other than the Term Loan Push-Down Reserve), or (2) determine the eligibility of Collateral for inclusion in the calculation of the ABL Borrowing Base, in each case, as provided in the ABL Credit Agreement; provided, that the ABL Agent agrees at all times to impose a methodology no less restrictive than that used as of the date hereof in determining Availability Reserves and eligibility criteria. For the avoidance of doubt, the Loan Parties and ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loan Commitments” under and as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement have been terminated on the date hereof and all of the “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans” and related obligations have been repaid in full on the date hereof, and no other “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loan Commitments” shall be established, and no other “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans” shall be advanced to the Loan Parties, under the ABL Credit Agreement (it being understood that the provisions relating to the “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loan Commitments” and “Tranche A-1 Revolving Loans” and the related facility under the ABL Credit Agreement are historical only and are not operative).

(b) The Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties may at any time and from time to time and without consent of or notice to the ABL Credit Parties, without incurring any liability to the ABL Credit Parties and without impairing or releasing any rights or obligations hereunder or otherwise, amend, restate, supplement, modify, waive, substitute, renew, refinance or replace any or all of the Term Documents; provided, however, that without the consent of the ABL Agent, the Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties shall not amend, restate, supplement, modify, waive, substitute, renew, refinance or replace any or all of the Term Documents to:

(1) increase the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Obligations to an amount in excess of the Maximum Term Loan Facility Amount;

(2) modify the definition of “Applicable Margin” or increase the rate of interest set forth in Section 2.08 of the Term Loan Agreement by more than 2.00% per annum (other than any increase occurring because of fluctuations in underlying rate indices or the imposition of the Default Rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement)) modify the definition of “Default Rate” or increase the percentage with respect to the default rate set forth in Section 2.08 of the Term Loan Agreement by more than 2.00% per annum above the rate applicable thereto on the date hereof (other than any increase occurring because of fluctuations in underlying rate indices);

(3) shorten the scheduled maturity of the Term Obligations;

(4) require any mandatory prepayments or scheduled repayments of the Term Obligations except as provided in the Term Documents as in effect on the date hereof or require that any payment on the Term Obligations be made earlier than the date originally scheduled for such payment;

(5) amend or modify the definition of “Covenant Trigger Event”, “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” and any component definition thereof, or the terms of Section 7.15 of the Term Loan Agreement;

(6) change the definition of “Revolving Excess Availability”, or “Borrowing Base” or “Combined Borrowing Base” contained in the Term Loan Agreement and any component definition thereof in a manner which would effect a decrease in the ABL Borrowing Base or Excess Availability under the ABL Credit Agreement;

(7) change any conditions, covenants, defaults or events of default thereunder that expressly restricts any Loan Party from making payments of the ABL Obligations that would otherwise be permitted under the Term Documents as in effect on the date hereof; or

(8) amend the Term Documents in any manner which would have the effect of contravening the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to Sections 5.2(a) and (b) above, the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations may be refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any Term Document) of the ABL Agent, the ABL Credit Parties, the Term Agent or the Term Credit Parties, as the case may be, all without affecting the Lien Priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof, provided, however, that the holders of such refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) execute and deliver to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and any such refinancing transaction shall be in accordance with any applicable provisions of both the ABL Documents and the Term Documents (to the extent such documents survive the refinancing).

Section 5.3. Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.

(a) If the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an “ABL Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement, but such reinstatement shall not impose an obligation on the Term Agent or Term Credit Parties to disgorge payments previously made, including from the Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, the Term Agent, the ABL Credit Parties, and the Term Credit Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party may have.

(b) If the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Term Obligations (a “Term Recovery”), then the Term Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Term Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Term Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement, but such reinstatement shall not impose an obligation on the ABL Agent or ABL Credit Parties to disgorge payments previously made, including from Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, the Term Agent, the ABL Credit Parties, and the Term Credit Parties under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations. No priority or right of the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Term Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party may have.

ARTICLE 6.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.1. Enforceability. This Agreement shall be applicable, as to Collateral and the proceeds thereof in existence before the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Credit Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any such Collateral or proceeds of such Collateral, shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 6.2. DIP Financing.

(a) If any Loan Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Credit Parties shall seek to provide any Loan Party with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Term Agent securing the Term Obligations (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral except as permitted by Section 6.3(c)(i)) or on any other basis, so long as (i) the Term Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Term Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under any Debtor Relief Laws) and, as to the Term Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the subject Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on the Term Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the Term Agent on the Term Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral, (iii) the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders implement and maintain an Availability Reserve (as such term is defined in the ABL Credit Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof) in connection with such DIP Financing in an amount

of the Carve Out in any such Insolvency Proceeding, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of loans and letter of credit accommodations outstanding under any such DIP Financing (including, without limitation, in respect of any ABL DIP Amount), together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of loans and outstanding amount of letters of credit made, issued or incurred pursuant to the ABL Documents, does not exceed the sum of (x) the Maximum ABL Facility Amount, plus (y) any Carve Out allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding, and (v) such DIP Financing shall not require the Loan Parties to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization or arrangement for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the documentation evidencing such DIP Financing.

(b) The Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties hereby agree that they shall not offer, and shall not permit any Affiliate of any of them to offer, to provide any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding or endorse the provision of any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding pursuant to which Liens that are senior or pari passu in priority to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations are granted on the ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties hereby agree that they shall not offer, and shall not permit any Affiliate of any of them to offer, to provide any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding or endorse the provision of any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding pursuant to which Liens that are senior or pari passu in priority to the Liens securing the Term Obligations are granted on the Term Priority Collateral.

(c) The Term Agent and the Term Credit Parties hereby agree that they shall not offer, and shall not permit any Affiliate of any of them to offer, to provide any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding or endorse the provision of any DIP Financing to the Loan Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding in competition with any DIP Financing provided by or consented to by the ABL Agent and the ABL Credit Parties. No Term Credit Party shall offer or provide any DIP Financing in an Insolvency Proceeding to any Loan Party secured by any ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations except to the extent that (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing are subordinated in all respects to Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and (ii) such DIP Financing is not in competition with any DIP Financing offered or provided to the Loan Parties by any ABL Credit Party.

Section 6.3. Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Term Priority Collateral without the Term Agent’s express written consent. In addition, neither the Term Agent nor the ABL Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other, unless such period is agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Term Agent to be modified or unless the ABL Agent or Term Agent, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Agent’s or the Term Agent’s ability to realize upon its Collateral.

Section 6.4. No Contest; Adequate Protection.

(a) The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the ABL Agent and some or all of the ABL Credit Parties consistent with Section 6.2, or (iii) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as (x) any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement and (y) any payments with respect to such adequate protection are not made with the Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral.

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.2(a) above) or (ii) any objection by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.2(a) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as (x) any Liens granted to the Term Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement and (y) any payments with respect to such adequate protection are not made with the Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral. Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party from requesting (which request may be contested or objected to by ABL Agent), adequate protection payments in an amount not to exceed interest on the Term Obligations at the “default rate” and reasonable fees and expenses of the Term Agent from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral so long as: (w) such payments are approved by a final order of the bankruptcy court approving DIP Financing or the use of cash collateral consented to by the ABL Agent, (x) the ABL Secured Parties are also receiving adequate protection payments covering their interest and fees and expenses, (y) the amount of such payments is added to the Maximum ABL Facility Amount, and (z) the Term Agent and Term Credit Parties agree, to the extent such adequate protection payments were made other than pursuant to a DIP Financing provided by any of the ABL Credit Parties under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, to pay over an amount not to exceed the payments so received if the ABL Obligations are not paid in full in such Insolvency Proceeding.

(i) in the event that the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Credit Parties, is granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees that the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Credit Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL Credit Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Agent on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(ii) in the event that the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Credit Parties, is granted adequate protection in respect of Term Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Term Priority Collateral), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Credit Parties, agrees that the ABL Agent on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Credit Parties, may seek or request (and the Term Credit Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Term Priority Collateral.

(iii) except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.2 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to (A) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Term Agent or the Term Credit Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Term Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) or (B) the Term Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Credit Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

Section 6.5 Asset Sales. The Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as the Proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Term Agent of any Term Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as the Proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, the parties agree that they will support the debtor in obtaining a bid from a nationally recognized liquidator as a stalking horse bid. The allocation of purchase price contained in any purchase agreement relating to such sale shall not control such allocation, unless agreed to by the ABL Agent and the Term Agent.

Section 6.6 Allowance of Claims.

(a) Neither the Term Agent nor any Term Credit Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any ABL Credit Party’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Term Agent on behalf of the Term Credit Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral.

(b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Credit Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Term Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Term Credit Party’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Credit Parties on the Term Priority Collateral.

Section 6.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Credit Party and each ABL Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Term Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization (or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws) 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 ABL Credit Parties and the Term Credit Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Credit Parties and the Term Credit Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Obligation claims against the Loan Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Credit Parties), the ABL Credit Parties or the Term Credit Parties, respectively, 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 that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Credit Parties and the Term Credit Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Credit Parties from such Priority Collateral, with such other Credit Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Credit Parties and the Term Credit Parties, as the case may be, 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 aggregate recoveries.

Section 6.8 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Term Agent and the Loan Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Document in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 6.9 Term Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Term Agent hereunder, all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent and the Loan Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Term Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Term Document in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 6.10 Plan of Reorganization. Subject to the ability of the ABL Credit Parties and the Term Credit Parties, as applicable, to support or oppose confirmation or approval of any plan of reorganization as provided herein, if, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization, both on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Term Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of Proceeds thereof. Each of the ABL Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Credit Parties) and the Term Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Term Credit Parties) agrees that none of the ABL Credit Parties or the Term Credit Parties shall propose or support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. To the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall affect the rights or claims of any Agent or any Credit Party as an unsecured creditor in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the Agents and the Credit Parties shall retain all such rights and claims.

Section 7.3. Purchase Price. On the date of such purchase and sale, the purchasing Term Credit Parties shall (i) pay to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of ABL Credit Parties, as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the ABL Obligations (excluding any Excess ABL Obligations and excluding ABL Obligations cash collateralized in accordance with clause (ii) below) then outstanding and unpaid, (ii) furnish cash collateral to the ABL Agent in such amounts as the ABL Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the ABL Agent and the other ABL Credit Parties in connection with (A) any outstanding L/C Obligations (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) (but not in any event in an amount greater than 105% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) of such L/C Obligations, (B) to the extent not terminated and paid in cash, Obligations with respect to Bank Products (other than amounts in excess of the Bank Product Cap) and Cash Management Services, and (C) any indemnity obligations for claims that have been asserted at the time of purchase, and (iii) agree to reimburse the ABL Agent and the other ABL Credit Parties for all expenses thereafter incurred by any of them and not included in the ABL Obligations at the time of purchase, but only to the extent such would have been due and payable in accordance with the ABL Documents (including, without limitation, the reimbursement of reasonable legal expenses, commercial finance examination expenses, and appraisal fees). 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 purchasing Term Credit Parties to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., Boston time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by purchasing Term Credit Parties to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., Boston time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that, within one (1) year following the date of such purchase and sale, the ABL Obligations are refinanced or the Aggregate Commitments (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) are terminated or permanently reduced (or have been terminated or reduced at the time of the purchase and sale), the purchasing Term Credit Parties shall remit any payments in respect of any Excess ABL Obligations received by any of them to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Credit Parties, as additional consideration for the purchase of the ABL Obligations described herein.

Section 7.4. Limitation on Representations and Warranties by ABL Credit Parties. Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the ABL Agent and the other ABL Credit Parties as to the ABL Obligations so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to the ABL Agent or any other ABL Credit Party, except that each ABL Credit Party shall represent and warrant: (i) that the amount quoted by such ABL Credit Party as its portion of the purchase price represents the amount shown as owing with respect to the claims transferred as reflected on its books and records, (ii) it owns, or has the right to transfer to the purchasing Term Credit Parties, the rights being transferred, and (iii) such transfer will be free and clear of Liens.

Section 7.5. ABL Agent; L/C Issuer. In the event that any one or more of the Term Credit Parties exercises and consummates the purchase option set forth in this Article 7, (i) the ABL Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the ABL Credit Agreement, and (ii) the purchasing Term Credit Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the ABL Agent and the L/C Issuer to immediately resign under the ABL Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE 8.

MISCELLANEOUS

Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Credit Parties, agrees that no payment to the Term Agent or any Term Credit Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Agent or any ABL Credit Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred.
