Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent and the Senior Lenders may, without regard to the existence of any rights the Subordinated Lender may now or hereafter have in and to any of the Collateral (other than the Term Loan B Collateral and other than the rights of the Subordinated Lender to notices under this Agreement or as may be required by applicable law): (a) compromise, settle, adjust and in general deal in any manner with the Collateral, other than the Term Loan B Collateral, including, without limitation, the account debtors and other obligors indebted thereon, as the Agent may deem

appropriate, upon such terms and conditions (including the length of time incidental thereto) as the Agent may deem appropriate, (b) engage third parties to assist the Agent and the Senior Lenders in the effectuation of the liquidation, collection or foreclosure of the Collateral, other than the Term Loan B Collateral, and (c) incur such reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incidental thereto as the Agent and/or the Senior Lenders may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and the Senior Lenders and any other third party professionals engaged by any of them. The Subordinated Lender irrevocably waives any right it may have, whether at law or in equity, to assert any claim or bring any action, suit or proceeding against the Agent or the Senior Lenders or to raise any affirmative defense, claim or counterclaim in any action brought against it by the Agent or the Senior Lenders, the effect of which is to contest the commercial reasonableness of the decisions or actions of the Agent or the Senior Lenders (whether made or taken alone or through any of its agents or representatives) with respect to the Collateral.

          (b) The Subordinated Lender shall have no liability to the Agent and the Senior Lenders for, and the Agent and the Senior Lenders waive any claim which they may have at any time against the Subordinated Lender, arising out of or related to any actions which the Subordinated Lender take or omit to take with respect to the Term Loan B Collateral or the Subordinated Lender Obligations secured thereby, except for such actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Subordinated Lender in violation of this Agreement or arising from through willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Subordinated Lender or any of its agents or employees. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender may, without regard to the existence of any rights the Agent and the Senior Lenders may now or hereafter have in and to any of the Term Loan B Collateral (other than the rights of the Agent and the Senior Lenders to notices under this Agreement or as may be required by applicable law): (a) compromise, settle, adjust and in general deal in any manner with the Term Loan B Collateral, including, without limitation, the account debtors and other obligors indebted thereon, as the Agent may deem appropriate, upon such terms and conditions (including the length of time incidental thereto) as the Agent may deem appropriate, (b) engage third parties to assist the Subordinated Lender in the effectuation of the liquidation, collection or foreclosure of the Term Loan B Collateral, and (c) incur such reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incidental thereto as the Subordinated Lender may deem appropriate, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Subordinated Lender and any other third party professionals engaged by any of them. The Agent and the Senior Lenders irrevocably waive any right any of them may have, whether at law or in equity, to assert any claim or bring any action, suit or proceeding against the Subordinated Lender or to raise any affirmative defense, claim or counterclaim in any action brought against it by the Subordinated Lender, the effect of which is to contest the commercial reasonableness of the decisions or actions of the Subordinated Lender (whether made or taken alone or through any of its agents or representatives) with respect to the Term Loan B Collateral.

          8.3 Preservation of Liens. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Subordinated Lender from intervening or participating in any judicial proceeding to the extent necessary to establish, protect or preserve its Liens in the Collateral, so long as such intervention or participation does not interfere with the foregoing rights of the Agent and the Senior Lenders, or from bidding or being the buyer of any Collateral at any private or public foreclosure sale conducted by the Agent under the Senior Lenders Documents.

     9. Receipt of Monies.

          9.1 By the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees that should it receive contrary to the provisions of this Agreement any monies from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of or as a result of its Lien in the Collateral (other than the Term Loan B Collateral), it will (unless otherwise restricted by law) hold the same for the Senior Lenders and promptly pay over the same to the Agent for application to the Senior Lenders Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

          9.2 By the Agent. The Agent agrees that should it receive contrary to the provisions of this Agreement any monies from the sale, liquidation, casualty or other disposition of or as a result of its Lien in the Collateral, it will (unless otherwise restricted by law) hold the same for the Subordinated Lender and promptly pay over the same to the Subordinated Lender for application to the Subordinated Lender Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 of this Agreement.

Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the Agent, as the Agent may designate in writing to the Subordinated Lender 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 Subordinated Lender to the bank account designated by the Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, and interest shall be calculated to, and including, such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Subordinated Lender to the account designated by the Agent are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., Eastern time.

Each Lender shall be responsible for managing its relationship with the Credit Parties, and, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, neither Lender shall be deemed the agent of the other for any purpose.

     13. Waiver of Marshalling. Each Lender hereby waives any right to require the other Lender to marshall any security or collateral or otherwise to compel the other Lender to seek recourse against or satisfaction of the indebtedness and obligations owed to it from one source before seeking recourse or satisfaction from another source.

     14. Provisions Concerning Insurance, Condemnation and Landlord’s Agreements. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of any of the Documents, the Lenders agree as follows with respect to any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds and the Landlord’s Agreements:

          14.1 Insurance Insuring the Collateral Generally. Each Lender agrees that the other Lender shall be entitled to obtain loss payee endorsements and additional insured status with respect to all policies of insurance now or hereafter obtained by the Credit Parties insuring casualty or other loss to any Collateral. The Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Subordinated Lender, to file claims, make adjustments and settlements of insurance claims and take any and all other actions in regard thereto in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of any Collateral (other than Term Loan B Collateral), and the Subordinated Lender shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Agent, to file claims, make adjustments and settlements of insurance claims and take any and all other actions in regard thereto in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of any Term Loan B Collateral. The rights and priorities of the Lenders to any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds shall be as provided in this Agreement.

          14.2 Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds.

          (a) Any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds with respect to the Collateral shall be deemed part of the Collateral, and the rights and priorities of the Lenders to any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds with respect to the Collateral shall be the same as with respect to the Collateral.

          (b) All Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds with respect to Collateral (other than Term Loan B Collateral) shall be paid to the Agent and the Subordinated Lender shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds to the Agent. In the event the Agent, in its sole discretion or pursuant to agreement with the Credit Parties, permits the Credit Parties to utilize all or any Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds to replace Collateral (other than Term Loan B Collateral), the consent of the Agent thereto shall be deemed to include the consent of the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees to execute such consents, releases, endorsements and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the application of such Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds, all without any additional consideration or payment to the Subordinated Lender.

          (c) All Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds with respect to Term Loan B Collateral shall be paid to the Subordinated Lender and the Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds to the Subordinated Lender. In the event the Subordinated Lender, in its sole discretion or pursuant to agreement with the Credit Parties, permits the Credit Parties to utilize all or any Insurance or

Condemnation Proceeds to replace Term Loan B Collateral, the consent of the Subordinated Lender thereto shall be deemed to include the consent of the Agent and the Senior Lenders. The Agent on behalf of the Senior Lenders agrees to execute such consents, releases, endorsements and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish the application of such Insurance or Condemnation Proceeds, all without any additional consideration or payment to the Agent.

          14.3 Landlord Agreements. All consents granted and decisions made by the Agent under each Landlord Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon the Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender agrees to execute such consents, releases, and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish or implement any decisions made by the Agent under a Landlord Agreement, all without any additional consideration or payment to the Subordinated Lender.

     15. Further Assurances. The Credit Parties and the Lenders shall each execute and deliver such additional documents and take such additional actions as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Subordinated Lender purchases the Senior Lenders Obligations pursuant to Section 10 hereof, then the Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Subordinated Lender to aid and assist, or join with the Subordinated Lender, in the enforcement or collection of the transferred Senior Lenders Obligations or the Liens securing the same. All out of pocket expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be additional Senior Lenders Obligations owing by the Credit Parties to the Agent and the Senior Lenders and secured by the Collateral. If requested by a Lender, the Lenders shall execute filings to be recorded in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code provisions in the appropriate locations reflecting the provisions of this Agreement.

     16. Parties; Successors and Assigns. No Lender shall transfer or assign any of the Obligations owing to such Lender except upon receipt of a written acknowledgment and agreement from such transferee or assignee which acknowledgment and agreement shall be reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the other Lender and bind such assignee and transferee and all successive assignees and transferees to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.

     17. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Lenders and no other Person (including each Credit Party), and their respective successors and assigns, shall have standing to require satisfaction of the provisions hereof or be entitled to assume compliance herewith, and no other Person (including each Credit Party) shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of any of the terms hereof or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will insist upon strict compliance with any of such terms, any or all of which may be freely waived or amended in whole or in part by the Lenders at any time if they in their sole discretion deem it advisable to do so.

     18. Injunctive Relief. Each Lender agrees that in the event it is in breach of any of its obligations hereunder, the other Lender may obtain an injunction in a court of competent

jurisdiction against any act or acts constituting such breach, and both Lenders consent to be bound thereby. Such injunction shall be without prejudice to the enjoining Lender’s rights to seek additional remedies at law or at equity.

     19. Post Bankruptcy Issues.

          19.1 This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect during the term set forth herein, notwithstanding the commencement by or against a Credit Party of an Insolvency Proceeding during the pendency of which, so long as the Subordinated Lender Obligations and the Senior Lenders Obligations have not been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied, all of the terms and provisions hereof shall remain and continue in full force and effect.

          19.2 In an Insolvency Proceeding, the Subordinated Lender shall not, until the Senior Lenders Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full and the commitments of the Senior Lenders for the incurring of additional Senior Lenders Obligations, any DIP financing or any use of the Senior Lenders’ cash collateral, have expired or been irrevocably terminated in writing, contest (or support any other party contesting) any request of any Credit Party made with the consent of the Agent for use of cash collateral or for approval of any DIP financing to be provided in good faith by the Senior Lenders to such Credit Party, on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Subordinated Lender (i) if the Subordinated Lender, in its discretion, chooses not to contest any such use or approval, or (ii) so long as (a) the Subordinated Lender is provided with replacement Liens on the same types and items of property included in the Collateral that existed before the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding, (b) the Liens granted to the Agent and the Subordinated Lender in the Insolvency Proceeding have the same priority, and are otherwise subject to, and have the benefit of, the same terms, limitations, and restrictions, that are set forth in this Agreement, and (c) in the case of any DIP financing to be provided by the Agent and the Senior Lenders in such Insolvency Proceeding, the DIP financing to be provided thereunder shall not be provided on terms and conditions not inconsistent with the financing provided pursuant to the Senior Lenders Loan Agreement, as limited by the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Subordinated Lender, including, without limitation, any claims secured by the Collateral. Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to file any other pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert the rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of any Credit Party arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law.

          19.3 In the event of (i) any Insolvency Proceeding, or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative to any Credit Party or its assets, or (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Credit Party, whether voluntary or involuntary, and whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (iii) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of assets or liabilities of any Credit Party, then (a) in any such event, the provisions of Section 2 of this Agreement shall continue to apply, and (b) in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) all of the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply (excluding the payment to Subordinated

Lender in securities of any Credit Party provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment that are equity securities or are subordinated in right of payment to all indebtedness of each Credit Party issued to Senior Lenders in such plan of reorganization or readjustment to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Subordinated Lender Obligations are subordinated to the Senior Lenders Obligations as provided in this Agreement) (such equity securities or subordinated securities being herein called the “Permitted Junior Securities”).

     20. Liens Following Term Loan C Exchange or Other Term Loan Exchange. Upon the consummation of the Term Loan C Exchange or any other Term Loan Exchange as contemplated by the Subordinated Lender Loan Agreement, the Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have no Lien in any of the common stock, preferred stock, partnership interests, limited liability company membership interests, warrants or other equity securities or equity interests collected or received by or distributed to Subordinated Lender as a result of any Term Loan C Exchange or any such other Term Loan Exchange.
