          (a) any Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder or any other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when

-14-

acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Notes Obligations; and

          (b) any Lien of the Notes Agent on the Notes Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Notes Agent, any other Notes Claimholder or any other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects to all Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations.

          2.2. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Notes Agent, on behalf of each Notes Claimholder, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of each ABL Claimholder, consents to the granting of Liens in favor of the other to secure the ABL Obligations and the Notes Obligations, as applicable, and agrees that no Claimholder will be entitled to, and it will not (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to), contest (directly or indirectly) or support (directly or indirectly) any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding): (a) the attachment, perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of any Lien in the Collateral held by or on behalf of any of the ABL Claimholders to secure the payment of the ABL Obligations or any of the Notes Claimholders to secure the payment of the Notes Obligations, (b) the priority, validity or enforceability of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations, including the allowability or priority of the Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or (c) the validity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, or the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 and 6.1.

          2.3. No New Liens. So long as neither the Discharge of ABL Obligations nor the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against one or more of the Company or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree, subject to Article VI, that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to:

          (a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Notes Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations; or

          (b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property (other than Excluded Foreign Collateral) to secure any ABL Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Notes Obligations.

To the extent any additional Liens are granted on any asset or property (other than Excluded Foreign Collateral) pursuant to this Section 2.3, the priority of such additional Liens shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.1. In addition, to the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available hereunder, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and the Notes Agent, on behalf of Notes Claimholders, agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

-15-

          2.4. Similar Liens and Agreements.

In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.8, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, upon request by the ABL Agent or the Notes Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the ABL Collateral and the Notes Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the ABL Loan Documents and the Notes Documents.

III. EXERCISE OF REMEDIES; ENFORCEMENT.

          3.1. Restrictions on the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders.

          (a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Notes Agent and the other Notes Claimholders:

     (i) will not exercise or seek to exercise (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived for the duration of the Notes Standstill Period), any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral (including (A) any right of set-off or any right under any Account Agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to undertake self-help re-possession or non-judicial disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure), and/or (C) any right to institute, prosecute, or otherwise maintain any action or proceeding with respect to such rights, powers or remedies (including any action of foreclosure)) provided, however, that the Notes Agent may exercise any or all of such rights, powers, or remedies after a period of at least 270 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which the Notes Agent declared the existence of a Notes Default, accelerated (to the extent such amount was not already due and owing) the payment of the principal amount of all Notes Obligations, and demanded payment thereof and (ii) the date on which the ABL Agent received the Enforcement Notice from the Notes Agent; provided further, however, that neither the Notes Agent nor any other Notes Claimholder shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of such 270 day period, the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders (A) shall have commenced, whether before or after the expiration of such 270 day period, and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights, powers, or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral (prompt written notice of such exercise to be given to the Notes Agent), or (B) shall have been stayed by operation of law or any court order from pursuing any such exercise of remedies (the period during which the Notes Agent and the other Notes Claimholders may not pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(i) exercise any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the “Notes Standstill Period”);

-16-

     (ii) will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest or object to or hinder any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding or action (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure) brought by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder relating to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other exercise by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder of any other rights, powers and remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, whether under the ABL Loan Documents, applicable law, or otherwise;

     (iii) subject to their rights under clause (a)(i) above (and under clause (vi) of Section 3.1(c)), will not object to the forbearance by the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral;

     (iv) except as may be permitted in Section 3.1(c), irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waive any and all rights the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection) to the manner in which the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders (A) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the ABL Obligations or (B) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Agent or ABL Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Notes Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior or subsequent to any disposition of any of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of ABL Priority Collateral (x) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (y) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral; and

     (v) subject to Section 3.1(a) and (c), acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Notes Security Documents or any other Notes Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Loan Documents;

provided, however, that, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Notes Obligations of the Notes Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of ABL Obligations.

          (b) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies

-17-

(including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of ABL Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after an ABL Default) make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder; provided, however, that the Lien securing the Notes Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the ABL Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1. In exercising rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents and exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies thereunder and/or under applicable law or otherwise, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Notes Agent and any Notes Claimholder may:

     (i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Notes Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;

     (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, or the rights of the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Claimholders to exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the ABL Priority Collateral;

     (iii) 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 Notes Claimholders, including any claims secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

     (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral;

     (v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments, obligations, and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to

-18-

accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the ABL Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn;

     (vi) exercise any of the rights, powers and/or remedies with respect to any of the ABL Priority Collateral after the termination of the Notes Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(i); and

     (vii) take any action described in clauses (iii), (vi) and (viii) of the definition of “Enforcement”.

The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, and each Notes Claimholder agrees that it will not take or receive any ABL Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a)(i), 6.7 and clause (vi) of Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Notes Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.

          (d) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.4 and Article VI, the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and subject to Section 3.2, may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral or in respect of any Excluded Foreign Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Notes Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

          (e) For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders exercise rights and remedies, either as unsecured creditors or as secured creditors hereunder, with respect to any of the Notes Intercompany Loans owing by any Excluded Foreign Grantors, the exercise of such rights and remedies and any Liens on any Excluded Foreign Collateral obtained by the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders as a result of such exercise or otherwise shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) to the same extent as the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

          (f) Except as provided in Section 5.3(d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Notes Agent or any other Notes Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Notes Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Notes Agent or any Notes

-19-

Claimholders 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 impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents.

          3.2. Restrictions on the ABL Agent and ABL Claimholders.

          (a) Until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, subject to the limited extent provided in Article VI, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders:

     (i) will not exercise or seek to exercise (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived for the duration of the ABL Standstill Period) any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to any Notes Priority Collateral (including (A) any right of set-off or any right under any Account Agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to undertake self-help re-possession or nonjudicial disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure), or (C) any right to institute, prosecute or otherwise maintain any action or proceeding with respect to such rights, powers, or remedies (including any action of foreclosure)); provided, however, that the ABL Agent may exercise any or all of such rights, powers, or remedies after a period of at least 270 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which the ABL Agent declared the existence of an ABL Default, accelerated (to the extent such amount was not already due and owing) the payment of the principal amount of all ABL Obligations, and demanded payment thereof and (ii) the date on which the Notes Agent received the Enforcement Notice from the ABL Agent relating to such action; provided, further, however, that neither the Agent nor the other ABL Claimholders shall exercise any remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of such 270 day period, the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders (A) shall have commenced, whether before or after the expiration of such 270 day period, and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the ABL Agent) or (B) shall have been stayed by operation of law or by any court order from pursuing any such exercise of remedies (the period during which the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders may not pursuant to this Section 3.2(a)(i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, the “ABL Standstill Period”); provided, finally, however, that the ABL Agent, independent in all respects of the preceding provisos, may exercise the rights provided for in Section 3.3;

     (ii) will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest or object to or hinder any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding or action (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure) brought by the Notes Agent or any other Notes Claimholder relating to the Notes Priority Collateral or any other exercise by the Notes Agent or any other Notes Claimholder of any rights, powers and remedies relating to the Notes Priority Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of the Notes Priority Collateral, whether under the Notes Documents, applicable law, or otherwise

-20-

subject to the Notes Agent’s and the other Notes Claimholders’ obligations under Section 3.3;

     (iii) subject to Section 3.2(a), will not object to the forbearance by the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement with respect to the Noteholder Primary Collateral;

     (iv) subject to Sections 3.2(c) and Sections 3.3 and 3.4, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waive any and all rights the ABL Agent and ABL Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection) to the manner in which the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders (a) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the Notes Obligations or (b) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to the Notes Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Notes Agent or Notes Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the ABL Claimholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior to or subsequent to any disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of Notes Priority Collateral (a) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (b) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral; and

     (v) subject to Sections 3.2(a) and (c) and Sections 3.3 and 3.4, acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the ABL Security Documents or any other ABL Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Notes Documents;

provided, however, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the ABL Obligations of the ABL Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of Notes Obligations.

          (b) Until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of Notes Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after a Notes Default) determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder subject to the Notes Agent’s and the Notes Claimholders’ obligations under Section 3.3; provided, however, that the Lien securing the ABL Obligations shall remain on the

-21-

Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the Notes Obligations in accordance with the Notes Documents) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Notes Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion subject to the Notes Agent’s and the Notes Claimholders’ obligations under Sections 3.3. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the Notes Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the ABL Agent and any ABL Claimholder may:

     (i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;

     (ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral, or the rights of the Notes Agent or any of the Notes Claimholders to exercise rights, powers and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3, not enforce) its Lien on any of the Notes Priority Collateral;

     (iii) 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 ABL Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Notes Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

     (iv) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral;

     (v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the Notes Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn;

-22-

     (vi) exercise any of its rights, powers, and/or remedies with respect to any of the Notes Priority Collateral to the extent permitted by Sections 3.2(a)(i) and 3.3; and

     (vii) take any action described in clauses (i) through (viii) of the definition of “Enforcement”.

The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no ABL Claimholder will take or receive any Notes Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Notes Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.3 and 3.4 and clause (vi) of this Section 3.2(c), the sole right of the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.

          (d) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.2(a) and 3.4 and Article VI, the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and subject to Section 3.1, may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any the ABL Agent or ABL Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Notes Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the ABL Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Notes Obligations) as the other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

          (e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(c), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders of the required 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 Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to Notes Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Notes Documents.

          3.3. Collateral Access Rights.

          (a) The ABL Agent and the Notes Agent agree not to commence Enforcement until an Enforcement Notice has been given to the other Agent. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, either Agent may join in any judicial proceedings commenced by the other Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that neither Agent, nor the other ABL Claimholders or the other Notes Claimholders, as applicable, shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party has the priority Lien in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.

          (b) If the Notes Agent, or any agent or representative of the Notes Agent, or any receiver, shall, after any Notes Default, obtain possession or physical control of any of the

-23-

Mortgaged Premises, the Notes Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of that fact, and the ABL Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, notify the Notes Agent in writing as to whether the ABL Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement. In addition, if the ABL Agent, or any agent or representative or the ABL Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or any of the tangible Notes Priority Collateral located on any premises other than a Mortgaged Premises, following the delivery to the Note Agent of an Enforcement Notice, then the ABL Agent shall promptly notify the Note Agent in writing that the ABL Agent is exercising its access rights under this Agreement under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Agent to the Notes Agent, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such property.

          (c) During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the Notes Priority Collateral for the purpose of (i) copying, using, or preserving any and all information relating to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of ABL Priority Collateral located on such parcel, including the completion of the manufacture and packaging of (A) work-in-process, (B) raw materials and (C) inventory production, and other preparation of such ABL Priority Collateral for sale or disposition, (iii) selling (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 Grantor’s business), and (iv) storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder or liability to the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder. During any such Access Period, the ABL Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any Notes Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees, and the ABL Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy of the Notes Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall reimburse the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control; provided, however, that the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Mortgaged Premises caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. In no event shall the ABL Claimholders or the ABL Agent have any liability to the Notes Claimholders and/or to the Notes Agent hereunder as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Agent of its rights under this Agreement. The ABL Agent and the Notes Agent shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of Notes Agent to show the Notes Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Notes Priority Collateral for sale.

-24-

          (d) Consistent with the definition of the term “Access Period,” if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL Agent under this Section 3.3 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.3. The Notes Agent shall not foreclose or otherwise sell or dispose of any of the Notes Priority Collateral during the Access Period, unless the buyer agrees in writing to acquire the Notes Priority Collateral subject to the terms of Section 3.3 of this Agreement and agrees therein to comply with the terms of this Section 3.3. The rights of ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders under this Section 3.3 during the Access Period shall continue notwithstanding such foreclosure, sale or other disposition by the Notes Agent.

          (e) The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall have the right to bring an action to enforce their rights under this Section 3.3, including, without limitation, an action seeking possession of the applicable Collateral and/or specific performance of this Section 3.3.

          3.4. Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any ABL Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and the Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under Account Agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents, the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In addition, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, subject to Section 4.2, the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders each hereby consents to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding issued by the Notes Agent, of cash or other Proceeds of Collateral, deposited under Account Agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents.

          4.2. Payments Over in Violation of Agreement. So long as neither the Discharge of ABL Obligations nor the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, any Collateral (including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by either Agent or any Notes Claimholders or ABL Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right, power, or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the appropriate Agent for the benefit of the Notes Claimholders or the ABL Claimholders, as applicable, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Each Agent is hereby authorized by the other Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Agent or any Notes Claimholders or ABL Claimholders, as applicable. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of Notes Obligations.

          4.3. Application of Payments. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, all payments received by (a) the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations to the extent provided for in the ABL Loan Documents and (b) the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the Notes Obligations to the extent provided for in the Notes Documents.

          5.4. Bailees for Perfection.

          (a) Each Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon (such Collateral, which shall include without limitation Account Agreements, Instruments and Capital Stock, being the “Pledged Collateral”) as (i) in the case of the ABL Agent, the collateral agent for the ABL Claimholders under the ABL Loan Documents or, in the case of the Notes Agent, the collateral agent for the Notes Claimholders under the Notes Documents and (ii) gratuitous bailee for the benefit of and on behalf of the other Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Loan Documents and the Notes Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. The Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders hereby appoint the ABL Agent as their gratuitous bailee for the purposes of perfecting their security interest in all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. The ABL Agent hereby accepts such appointment and acknowledges and agrees that it shall act for the benefit of and on behalf of the Notes Agent and the other Notes Claimholders under each Account Agreement and that any Proceeds received by the ABL Agent under any Account Agreement shall be applied in accordance with Article IV. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby grants a security interest in the Pledged Collateral, all Deposit Accounts and all Securities Accounts to (x) the Note Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders and (y) the ABL Agent for the benefit of the Notes Claimholders.

          (b) Neither Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Agent, to any other ABL Claimholder, or to any other Notes Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged

-30-

Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the respective Agents under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral or Proceeds thereof upon a Discharge of ABL Obligations or Discharge of Notes Obligations, as applicable, as provided in paragraph (d) below.

          (c) Neither Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have by reason of the ABL Loan Documents, the Notes Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Agent, any other ABL Claimholder or any other Notes Claimholder.

          (d) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Notes Obligations, as applicable, the Agent under the ABL Credit Agreement or Note Agreement, as applicable, that has been discharged shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) in its possession together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the other Agent to the extent the other Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of Notes Obligations have occurred (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as otherwise required by law. Each Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the other Agent in connection with the other Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Agent, which has been discharged, to make any delivery to the other Agent under this Section 5.4(d) or Section 5.5 is subject to (i) the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any automatic stay imposed in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

          (e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) so long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, the ABL Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other ABL Loan Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the Notes Agent on behalf of the Notes Claimholders did not exist, and (ii) so long as the Discharge of Notes Obligations has not occurred, the Notes Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Notes Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Notes Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders did not exist.

          5.5. When Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of Notes Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations or a Discharge of Notes Obligations, the Company shall enter into any Permitted Refinancing of any ABL Obligation or Notes Obligation, as applicable, then such Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Notes Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Notes Obligations in order to effectuate such discharge among (i) the agent(s) and other claimholders under the facility to be discharged, (ii) the agents and other claimholders under the new facility, and (iii) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), and, from and after the date on which the New Debt

-31-

Notice is delivered to the appropriate Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations or Notes Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, as applicable, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the ABL Agent or the Notes Agent, as applicable, under such new ABL Loan Documents or Notes Documents, as applicable, shall be the ABL Agent or the Notes Agent, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into new ABL Loan Documents or new Notes Documents (which notice shall include a complete copy of the relevant new documents and provide the identity of the new Agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the other Agent, upon written request of the New Agent, shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the then terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). In accordance with Section 5.3(a), the New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the other Agent and the ABL Claimholders or the Notes Claimholders, as applicable, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the ABL Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on ABL Priority Collateral, then any Notes Claimholder will not be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below, that the Notes Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the Notes Agent and the other Notes Claimholders retain a Lien on the Collateral and, with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the ABL Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the Notes Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such DIP Financing and any other Liens in favor of ABL Agent), (iii) the terms of the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing require that any Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral to secure such DIP Financing is subordinate to the Lien of the Notes Agent securing the Notes Obligations with respect thereto and (iv) the terms of such DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with this Agreement. The Notes Agent shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and

-32-

all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee) and, consistent with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) above); provided, however, if the Liens securing the DIP Financing rank junior to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations, the Notes Agent shall be required to subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing. The Notes Agent on behalf of itself and the Notes Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor any DIP Financing to the extent that the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the ABL Agent. The ABL Agent on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no such Persons shall provide to such Grantor any DIP Financing to the extent that the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the Notes Agent.

          6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay.

          (a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Notes Agent, and the other Notes Claimholders, agree that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) the ABL Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in such ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the Notes Agent, must be filed for the purpose of preserving the Notes Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the Notes Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.1 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay.

          (b) Until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Notes Priority Collateral (other than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Section 3.3), without the prior written consent of the Notes Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) the Notes Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in the Notes Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the ABL Agent, must be filed for the purpose of preserving the ABL Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the ABL Agent shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.2 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay.

          6.3. Adequate Protection.

          (a) Neither the Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Claimholders, nor any Notes Claimholder, shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

-33-

     (i) any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; or

     (ii) any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; or

     (iii) any objection by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.

          (b) Neither the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, nor any ABL Claimholder shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

     (i) any request by the Notes Agent or the other Notes Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral; or

     (ii) any request by the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral; or

     (iii) any objection by the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral.

          (c) Consistent with the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, and except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.7, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

     (i) no Notes Claimholder shall be entitled (and each Notes Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in the ABL Priority Collateral (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, subject to Section 6.1, Notes Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the ABL Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on ABL Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the ABL Claimholders in respect of their interest in such ABL Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the ABL Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Notes Agent on ABL Priority Collateral; and

     (ii) no ABL Claimholder shall be entitled (and each ABL Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection in respect of Notes Priority Collateral except as may be consented to in writing by the Notes Agent in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, ABL Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the

-34-

Notes Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on Notes Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the Notes Claimholders in respect of their interest in such Notes Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the Notes Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Notes Priority Collateral.

          (d) With respect to (i) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Notes Agent or the Notes Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement and (ii) the Notes Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement.

          6.4. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Claimholder or Notes Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations, as applicable (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholders or Notes Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

          6.5. Reorganization Securities. Subject to the ability of the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders, as applicable, to support or oppose confirmation or approval of any Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to oppose confirmation or approval of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, as provided herein, if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation 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 Notes Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Notes 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.

          6.6. Post-Petition Interest.

          (a) Neither the Notes Agent nor any Notes Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any ABL Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Notes Agent on behalf of the Notes Claimholders on the Collateral; provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(a) prohibits the Notes Agent on behalf of the

-35-

Notes Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such Notes Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition interest, fees or expenses payable to the ABL Agent or any ABL Loan Claimholder.

          (b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Notes Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders on the Collateral; provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(b) prohibits the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such ABL Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition interest, fees or expenses payable to the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder.

          6.7. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, and the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the respective grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Notes Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation 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 Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and Notes Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2), the ABL Claimholders or the Notes Claimholders, 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, fees or expenses that is available from each pool of priority Collateral for each of the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority, with such other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

          6.8. Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

          (a) Without limiting the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.1(b), neither the Notes Agent nor any other Notes Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any ABL Priority

-36-

Collateral that is supported by the ABL Claimholders, and the Notes Agent and each other Notes Claimholder will be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any ABL Priority Collateral supported by the ABL Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce ABL Obligations the Notes Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) Without limiting the Notes Agent’s and the Notes Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.2(b), neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral that is supported by the Notes Claimholders and made subject to Section 3.3(d), and the ABL Agent and each other ABL Claimholder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any Notes Priority Collateral supported by the Notes Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce Notes Obligations the ABL Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further that the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.3 shall survive any such sale or disposition.

VII. RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.

          7.1. Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, each of the ABL Claimholders represents and warrants that it has, independently and without reliance on the Notes Agent or any Notes Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by it appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into ABL Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and it will continue to make its own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Loan Documents or this Agreement. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, each of the Notes Claimholders represents and warrants that it has, independently and without reliance on the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by it appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the other Notes Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and it will continue to make its own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Notes Documents or this Agreement.

          7.2. No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the other Notes Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Notes Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective ABL Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Notes Agent and the Notes Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Claimholders, and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to the Notes Agent or any of the other Notes Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements any Grantor (including the ABL Loan Documents and the Notes Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

          7.3. No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

          (a) No right of the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders or the other Notes Claimholders to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Loan Document or Notes Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by such Agents, ABL Claimholder or Notes Claimholders or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Loan Documents or any of the Notes Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agents or the ABL Claimholders or Notes Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

          (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents and Notes Documents and subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(c), and, as applicable, 5.3(d)), the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders and the other Notes Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents and Notes Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the other Agent or the ABL Claimholder or the Notes Claimholders (as applicable), without incurring any liabilities to such Persons and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

          (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Obligations or any Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the Agents or any rights or remedies under any of the ABL Loan Documents or the Notes Documents;

          (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral (except to the extent provided in this Agreement) or any liability of any Grantor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

-38-

          (iii) settle or compromise any Obligation or any other liability of any Grantor or any security therefore or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability in any manner or order that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and

          7.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

          (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Loan Documents or any Notes Documents;

          (d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Grantor; or

          (e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the ABL Agent, the ABL Obligations, any ABL Claimholder, the Notes Agent, the Notes Obligations or any Notes Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS.

          8.1. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Loan Document or any Notes Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

          8.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination (as opposed to an agreement of debt or claim subordination), and the ABL Claimholders and Notes Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the other Agent, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon. Each of the Agents, on behalf the ABL Claimholders or the Notes Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and

-39-

unconditionally waives any right any Claimholder may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the Agents, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders, as applicable, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as applicable) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

          (a) with respect to the ABL Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, the date of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders under Section 6.4; and

          (b) with respect to the Notes Agent, the Notes Claimholders and the Notes Obligations, the date of the Discharge of Notes Obligations, subject to the rights of the Notes Claimholders under Section 6.4.

          8.3. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Notes Agent or the ABL Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected and (ii) any Additional Pari Passu Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable holder of Additional Pari Passu Notes Obligations, may become a party to this Agreement, without any further action by any other party hereto, upon execution and delivery by the Company and such Agent of a properly completed joinder to this Agreement.

          8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and Their Subsidiaries. The ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Notes Claimholders, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors and other Grantors of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations. Neither the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, nor the Notes Claimholders, on the other hand, shall have any duty to advise the other of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that either the ABL Agent or any of the other ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, or the Notes Agent or any of the other Notes Claimholders, on the other hand, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any of the others, it or they shall be under no obligation, (i) to make, and shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy,

-40-

completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) to undertake any investigation, or (iv) to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

          8.5. Subrogation.

          (a) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Notes Claimholders actually pays over to the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Notes Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the ABL Claimholders; provided, however, that the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Notes Claimholders that are paid over to the ABL Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Notes Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5(a), none of the Notes Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the ABL Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the Notes Claimholders.

          (b) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the ABL Claimholders actually pays over the Notes Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the Notes Claimholders; provided, however, that the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the ABL Claimholders that are paid over to the Notes Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the ABL Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5(b), none of the ABL Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the Notes Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the ABL Claimholders.

          8.6. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.

          (a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE NOTES CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE NOTES AGENT) AND THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE ABL AGENT), IRREVOCABLY:

          (1) AGREES THAT THE ONLY NECESSARY PARTIES TO ANY AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE PARTIES HERETO, EXCEPT WHERE IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR THE RECOVERY OF MONEY) IS BEING SOUGHT DIRECTLY AGAINST OR FROM A

-41-

PERSON THAT IS NOT A PARTY AND EXCEPT THAT, IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BETWEEN THE NOTES AGENT AND THE ABL AGENT THAT DOES NOT SEEK ANY RELIEF AGAINST OR FROM THE COMPANY OR ANY OF THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES, THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARIES SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY PARTIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 8.14 AND 8.17, NONE OF THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE ABL AGENT) OR THE NOTES CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE NOTES AGENT) SHALL BE NECESSARY OR OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE PARTIES TO ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, UNLESS IN SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING SUMS ARE BEING SOUGHT TO BE RECOVERED DIRECTLY FROM SUCH PERSONS, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.2.

          (2) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS;

          (3) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;

          (4) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PERSON (AND IN THE CASE OF A PARTY, AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.7); AND

          (5) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (3) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PERSON IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT.

          (b) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE NOTE DOCUMENTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE NOTE DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.6.

          8.7. Notices. All notices permitted or required under this Agreement need be sent only to the Notes Agent and the ABL Agent, as applicable, in order to be effective and otherwise binding on any applicable Claimholder.

For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties.

          8.8. Further Assurances. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, and the Grantors, agree that each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the ABL Agent or the Notes Agent may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of and the Lien priorities contemplated by this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, in seeking specific performance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, an Agent may seek such relief as if it were the “holder” of the claims of the other Agent’s Claimholders under Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise had been granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the other Agent’s Claimholders.

          8.11. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other document or instrument, as applicable.

          8.13. Authorization. By its signature, each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that the individual signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to execute this Agreement. The Notes Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other Notes Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement. The ABL Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other ABL Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement.

          8.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the rights and benefits hereof shall inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of (and shall be binding upon) each of the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders and the other Notes Claimholders and their respective successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Indenture, each Additional Pari Passu Notes Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement shall expressly refer to this Agreement and acknowledge that its provisions shall be binding on the Notes Agent, and the other Notes Claimholders (and their respective successors and assigns) and on the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders (and their respective successors and assigns), as applicable, and, in any event, this Agreement shall be binding on the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders, and the other Notes Claimholders and their respective successors and assigns as if its provisions were set forth in their entirety in the ABL Credit Agreement, the Indenture and each Additional Pari Passu Notes Agreement, the obligations of the Grantors.

          8.15. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the ABL Claimholders on the one hand and the Notes Claimholders on the other hand. No Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder, and no Grantor may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair as between the Grantors and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders, or as between the Grantors and the Notes Agent and the other Notes Claimholders, the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts as provided in the other ABL Loan Documents and the other Notes Documents, respectively, including as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

          8.16. Marshalling of Assets. The Notes Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any and all rights or powers any Notes Claimholder may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the ABL Priority Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the ABL Agent’s Liens. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby waives irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally any and all rights any ABL Claimholder may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the Notes Priority Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the Notes Agent’s Liens.

          8.17. Exclusive Means of Exercising Rights under this Agreement. The Notes Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Notes Agent, and the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the ABL Agent, as their respective and exclusive agents hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, the Notes Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders further shall be deemed to have agreed that only their respective Agent (and not any individual Claimholder or group of Claimholders) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement) or the Collateral; provided, that (i) ABL Claimholders holding obligations in respect to Bank Products or Obligations in respect of Hedging Agreements may exercise customary netting rights with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents (including any relating to Bank Products or Hedging Agreements) and any such individual ABL Claimholder may act against such Collateral, and (iii) ABL Claimholders may exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other accounts maintained with them. Specifically, but

-44-

without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Noteholder or group of Noteholders, and each ABL Lender or group of ABL Lenders, shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement) or in otherwise relation to the Collateral, except solely as provided in the proviso in the preceding sentence.

          8.18. Interpretation. This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, the Notes Agent, the ABL Agent, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the initial purchasers of the Notes and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves and the Notes Claimholders (in the case of the Notes Claimholders) and the ABL Claimholders (in the case of the ABL Claimholders). Accordingly, this Agreement’s provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any party or other Person merely by virtue of that party or other Person’s involvement, or lack of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions.

          8.19. Certain Terms Concerning the Notes Agent. The Notes Agent is executing and delivering this Agreement solely in its capacity as Trustee and Collateral Agent under and pursuant to directions set forth in the Notes Documents; and in so doing, the Notes Agent shall not be responsible for the terms or sufficiency of this Agreement for any purpose. The Notes Agent shall have no duties or obligations under or pursuant to this Agreement other than such duties as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement as duties on its part to be performed or observed. In entering into this Agreement, or in taking (or forbearing from) any action under or pursuant to the Agreement, the Notes Agent shall have and be protected by all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to the Trustee and Collateral Agent under the Indenture and the other Notes Documents.

          8.20. Certain Terms Concerning ABL Agent and Notes Agent. Neither the ABL Agent nor the Notes Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Secured Party, or for any other Secured Party’s compliance with (or failure to comply with) the terms of this Agreement. Neither the ABL Agent nor the Notes Agent shall have individual liability to any Person if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to any Secured Party (or the Issuers) any amounts in violation of the terms of this Agreement, so long as the ABL Agent or the Notes Agent, as the case may be, is acting in good faith.
