Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

Priority of Liens (a) Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral or of any Liens granted to any New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral, and regardless of how any such Lien was acquired (whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Collateral Agent (or the ABL Secured Parties or any of the New First Lien Secured Parties) on any Common Collateral, (iii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or of any of the ABL Documents or any of the New First Lien Documents, or (iv) whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Collateral Agent, in each case, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Common Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, and the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby agree that:
(1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties that secures all or any portion of the New First Lien Obligations shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on the Common Collateral; and
(2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that secures all or any portion of the ABL Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties on the Common Collateral. The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each New First Lien Secured Party, expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Common Collateral as security for the ABL Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any New First Lien Obligations for all purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted, improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in any manner.
(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, has been granted Liens upon all of the Common Collateral in which the ABL Collateral Agent has been granted Liens and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby consents thereto. The subordination of Liens by the New First Lien Collateral Agent in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent as set forth herein shall not be deemed to subordinate the respective Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties to Liens securing any other Obligations other than the ABL Obligations (subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Additional General Intercreditor Agreement).
DIP Financing (a) If the Company or any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Company or any Grantor 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 Receivables Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Receivables Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Receivables Collateral) but not any other asset or any Non-Receivables Collateral, then the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured 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 New First Lien Collateral Agent securing the New First Lien Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Receivables Collateral, except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)), so long as (i) the New First Lien Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Common Collateral to secure the New First Lien Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code); (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms of such plan are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or related document; and (iii) all Liens on Common Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on Common Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party from raising any objection or supporting 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 New First Lien Collateral Agent on Non-Receivables Collateral securing the New First Lien Obligations.
(b) All Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Collateral 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.
Intercreditor Agreement Each Person that is secured hereunder, by accepting the benefits of the security provided hereby, (i) agrees (or is deemed to agree) that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such provisions are not in conflict with this Agreement, and (ii) authorizes (or is deemed to authorize) and instructs (or is deemed to instruct) the Collateral Trustee on behalf of such Person to enter into, and perform under, any applicable Intercreditor Agreement on terms that do not conflict with this Agreement. At the direction of the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, the Collateral Trustee agrees to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or amendments or joinders to any Intercreditor Agreement, without the consent of any Priority Lien Secured Party, to add additional Indebtedness as Priority Lien Debt (to the extent permitted to be incurred and secured by the applicable Priority Lien Documents) and add other parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) holding such Indebtedness thereto and to establish that the Lien on any Collateral securing such Indebtedness ranks equally with the Liens on such Collateral securing the other Priority Lien Debt then outstanding, subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Section 3.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that any Lien on any Collateral is perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral (including control over any account in which Collateral is held), and if such Collateral (or any such account) is in fact in the possession or under the control of an agent or bailee of the Collateral Trustee (including any Priority Lien Representative or its agents or bailees), the perfection actions and related deliverables described in this Agreement or the other Security Documents (i.e., the Security Documents other than the Security Document giving rise to such Lien, perfection and control) shall not be required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent of any conflict between this Agreement and any Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
