(a) If any Second Lien Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any First Lien Priority Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party.
(b) Should any Second Lien Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any First Lien Priority Secured Party (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may obtain relief against such Second Lien Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by each Second Lien Priority Representative on behalf of each Second Lien Priority Secured Party that (i) the First Lien Priority Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Lien Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the First Lien Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.
Section 4. Application of Proceeds of Common Collateral; Dispositions and Releases of Common Collateral; Inspection and Insurance.
4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All proceeds of Common Collateral (including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of Common Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action, whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows: first to the First Lien Priority Representatives for application to the First Lien Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Priority Documents, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Priority Obligations under the First Lien Priority Agreements then outstanding, until the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred and thereafter, to the Second Lien Priority Representatives for application to the Second Lien Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Priority Documents, on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Second Lien Priority Obligations under the Second Lien Priority Agreements then outstanding. Until the occurrence of the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including without limitation any such Common Collateral constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Lien Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Lien Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Lien Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Priority Representative (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
14
4.2 Releases of Second Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or disposition of Common Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Priority Documents that results in the release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral (excluding any sale or other disposition that is expressly prohibited by the Second Lien Priority Agreements as in effect on the date hereof unless such sale or disposition is consummated in connection with an Enforcement Action or consummated after the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding), the Second Priority Lien on such Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral remaining after the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person.
(b) Each Second Lien Priority Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative, and shall take such further actions, at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties, as the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative shall reasonably request to evidence any release of the Second Priority Lien described in paragraph (a). Each Second Lien Priority Representative hereby appoints the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of such Second Lien Priority Representative and in the name of such Second Lien Priority Representative or in such First Lien Priority Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
4.3 Inspection Rights and Insurance. (a) Any First Lien Priority Secured Party and its representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Common Collateral, and the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Common Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Second Lien Priority Secured Party or liability to any Second Lien Priority Secured Party.
(b) Until the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that each Second Lien Priority Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss payee so long as its junior lien status is identified in a manner satisfactory to the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative); (ii) as among the Secured Parties, to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder, and (iii) as among the Secured Parties, to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.
15
Section 5. Insolvency Proceedings.
5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, each Second Lien Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties that no Second Lien Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case that (a) violates, or is prohibited by, this Section 5 (or, in the absence of an Insolvency Proceeding, otherwise would violate or be prohibited by this Agreement), (b) asserts any right, benefit or privilege that arises in favor of such Second Lien Priority Representative or Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, in whole or in part, as a result of their interest in the Common Collateral or in the Second Priority Lien (unless the assertion of such right is expressly permitted by this Agreement) or (c) challenges the validity, priority, enforceability or voidability of any Liens or claims held by the First Lien Priority Representatives or any other First Lien Priority Secured Party, or the extent to which the First Lien Priority Obligations constitute secured claims under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided that each Second Lien Priority Representative may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on such Second Lien Priority Representative imposed hereby.
5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative or the other First Lien Priority Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “DIP Financing”), then each Second Lien Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Lien Priority Secured Party (a) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in paragraph 5.4 below, (c) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens (i) (x) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto or (y) if such DIP Financing is secured by Liens which are equally and ratably ranked with the First Priority Liens, to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens (and any such subordination under clause (x) or (y) will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate protection provided to the First Lien Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative or the other First Lien Priority Secured Parties, and (d) agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.
5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. Each Second Lien Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative.
16
5.4 Adequate Protection. Each Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (a) any request by any First Lien Priority Representative or the other First Lien Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to any First Lien Priority Representative or the other First Lien Priority Secured Parties or (b) any objection by any First Lien Priority Representative or any other First Lien Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any First Lien Priority Representative or any other First Lien Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in Section 5.2(b) (but subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Lien Priority Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral each Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Priority Obligations under this Agreement, (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Lien Priority Secured Parties and (z) without prejudice to any right of any First Lien Priority Secured Party to object thereto, the payment of post-petition interest (provided, in the case of this clause (z), that the First Lien Priority Secured Parties have been granted adequate protection in the form of post-petition interest reasonably satisfactory to them), provided, however, that such Second Lien Priority Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event any Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, seeks or accepts adequate protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Lien Priority Representatives shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Lien Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Lien Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Lien Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Lien Priority Obligations under this Agreement. Each Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative.
17
5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the First Lien Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be 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. Prior to the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date (but subject to the first sentence of this Section 5.5), the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. In an Insolvency Proceeding, no Second Lien Priority Representative nor any other Second Lien Priority Secured Party shall oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the First Lien Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Lien Priority Representatives and each other Second Lien Priority Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by the First Lien Priority Secured Parties and to have released their Liens on such assets (provided that the Second Priority Lien on any proceeds constituting Common Collateral from such sale or disposition remaining after the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs shall continue).
5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Priority Security Documents and the Second Lien Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the First Lien Priority Obligations and the Second Lien Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from each other and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Priority Secured Parties and Second Lien Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties), the First Lien Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in
18
respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties. The Second Lien Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to turn over to the First Lien Priority Secured Parties upon written request therefor amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties.
5.8 No Waivers of Rights of First Lien Priority Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Priority Representatives or any other First Lien Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Lien Priority Secured Party not expressly permitted hereunder, including the seeking by any Second Lien Priority Secured Party of adequate protection (except as provided in Section 5.4).
5.9 Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Lien Priority Representative or any Second Lien Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Common Collateral, such Second Lien Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Priority Secured Parties not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative unless expressly permitted to do so hereunder.
5.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.
Section 6. Security Documents.
(a) Each Loan Party and each Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the Second Lien Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement.
(b) Each Loan Party and each First Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or other modification to any of the First Lien Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this Agreement.
(c) In the event the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by any Second Lien Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof); provided that (other than with respect to
19
amendments, modifications or waivers that secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors and do not violate the express provisions of the Second Lien Priority Agreements), (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Second Lien Priority Security Document, unless also removed from the assets securing the First Lien Priority Obligations or except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.2, (ii) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties (other than the Second Lien Priority Representatives) and does not affect the First Lien Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Second Lien Priority Security Documents without the consent of the Second Lien Priority Representative, acting at the written direction of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties required to direct the Second Lien Priority Representative under the Second Lien Priority Agreements, (iii) no such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision applicable to the Second Lien Priority Representatives under the Second Lien Priority Documents shall be made without the prior written consent of the Second Lien Priority Representatives and (iv) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Second Lien Priority Representatives no later than 30 days after its effectiveness, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.
Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
7.1 Reliance. The First Lien Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered, and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Lien Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties, expressly waives all notice of the acceptance of and reliance on this Agreement by the First Lien Priority Secured Parties. The Second Lien Priority Documents are deemed to have been executed and delivered and all extensions of credit thereunder are deemed to have been made or incurred, in reliance upon this Agreement. Each First Lien Priority Representative expressly waives all notices of the acceptance of and reliance by the Second Lien Priority Representative and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties.
7.2 No Warranties or Liability. Each Second Lien Priority Representative and each First Lien Priority Representative acknowledge and agree that none have made any representation or warranty with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any First Lien Priority Document or any Second Lien Priority Document. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Second Lien Priority Representatives and the First Lien Priority Representatives will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective extensions of credit to any Loan Party in accordance with law and their usual practices, modified from time to time as they deem appropriate.
7.3 No Waivers. No right or benefit of any party hereunder shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of such party or any other party hereto or by any noncompliance by any Loan Party with the terms and conditions of any of the First Lien Priority Documents or the Second Lien Priority Documents.
20

Section 9. Miscellaneous.
9.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Lien Priority Document or any Second Lien Priority Document with respect to the priority of any Liens or the exercise of any rights or remedies, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to and shall not, as between the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties, negate, waive or cancel any rights granted to, or create any liability or obligation of, any Loan Party in the First Lien Priority Documents and the Second Lien Priority Documents or impose any additional obligations on the Loan Parties (other than as expressly set forth herein).
9.2 Continuing Nature of Provisions. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, and shall not be revocable by any party hereto, until the First Lien Priority Obligation Payment Date shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement and the First Lien Priority Secured Parties and the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, Borrower or any other Loan Party on the faith hereof.
9.3 Amendments; Waivers. (a) No amendment or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the First Lien Priority Representatives and the Second Lien Priority Representatives and, in the case of amendments or modifications of Sections 3.5, 3.6, 5.2, 5.4, 9.3, 9.5 or 9.6, the Loan Parties 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. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no consent of any Loan Party shall be required for amendments, modifications or waivers of any other provisions of this Agreement other than those that (i) directly affect any obligation or right of the Loan Parties hereunder or under the First Lien Priority Documents or the Second Lien Priority Documents or that would impose any additional obligations on the Loan Parties or (ii) change the rights of the Loan Parties to refinance the First Lien Priority Obligations or the Second Lien Priority Obligations.
(b) It is understood that the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative, without the consent of any other First Lien Priority Secured Party or Second Lien Priority Secured Party, may in its discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations (“Additional Debt”) of any of the Loan Parties become First Lien Priority Obligations or Second Lien Priority Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement, which supplemental agreement shall specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes First Lien Priority Obligations or Second Lien Priority Obligations, provided, that (i) such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred by the First Lien Priority Agreements and Second Lien Priority Agreements then extant, and is permitted by said Agreements to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement as First Lien Priority Obligations or Second Lien Priority Obligations, as applicable, (ii) in the case of any Additional Debt that constitutes a First Lien Priority Obligation, all proceeds of the Common Collateral shall be payable to the First
22
Lien Priority Representatives and the representative for any Additional Debt constituting First Lien Priority Obligations (“Additional First Lien Debt”) on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Priority Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreements and under such Additional First Lien Priority Agreement and (iii) in the case of any Additional Debt that constitutes a Second Lien Priority Obligation, (A) notice of the incurrence thereof is given to the First Lien Priority Representatives by the Borrower and (B) all proceeds of the Common Collateral remaining after the First Lien Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be payable to the Second Lien Priority Representatives and the representative for any Additional Debt constituting Second Lien Priority Obligations (“Additional Second Lien Debt”) on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Second Lien Priority Obligations under the Initial Second Lien Priority Indenture and under such Additional Second Lien Priority Agreement. Such a supplemental agreement shall not be required unless the Controlling First Lien Priority Representative notifies the Borrower that it requires a supplemental agreement.
9.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Each of the Second Lien Priority Secured Parties and the First Lien Priority Secured Parties assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and each of the other Loan Parties and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Priority Obligations or the Second Lien Priority Obligations. The Second Lien Priority Representatives and the First Lien Priority Representatives hereby agree that no party shall have any duty to advise any other party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Second Lien Priority Representative or any First Lien Priority Representative, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other party to this Agreement, it shall be under no obligation (a) to provide any such information to such other party or any other party on any subsequent occasion, (b) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (c) to disclose any other information.

Exhibit I
[FORM OF] JOINDER NO. [ ] dated as of [_______], 20[ ], (the “Joinder”) to the FIRST LIEN/SECOND LIEN INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT dated as of June 16, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among REALOGY GROUP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), each of the other Loan Parties party thereto from time to time, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Initial First Lien Priority Representative, THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., as Initial Second Lien Priority Representative, and each additional First Lien Priority Representative and additional Second Lien Priority Representative from time to time party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Intercreditor Agreement.
Each of the undersigned Loan Parties listed on the signature page hereto (each, a “New Loan Party”) wishes to acknowledge and agree to the Intercreditor Agreement and become a party thereto and to acquire and undertake the rights and obligations of a Loan Party thereunder.
Accordingly, each New Loan Party agrees as follows for the benefit of the First Lien Priority Representatives and Second Lien Priority Representatives:
1. Accession to the First Lien Priority Intercreditor Agreement. Each New Loan Party (a) acknowledges and agrees to, and becomes a party to the Intercreditor Agreement as a Loan Party, (b) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (c) shall have all the rights and obligations of a Loan Party under the Intercreditor Agreement. This Joinder supplements the Intercreditor Agreement and is being executed and delivered by each New Loan Party.
2. Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgement of the New Loan Party. Each New Loan Party represents and warrants to each First Lien Priority Representative and Second Lien Priority Representative that (a) it has full power and authority to enter into this Joinder, in its capacity as Loan Party and (b) this Joinder has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
3. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Joinder may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Joinder shall become effective when each First Lien Priority Representative and Second Lien Priority Representative shall have received a counterpart of this Joinder that bears the signature of each New Loan Party. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Joinder. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Joinder shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the
extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
4. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
5. Benefit of Agreement. The agreements set forth herein or undertaken pursuant hereto are for the benefit of, and may be enforced by, any party to the Intercreditor Agreement subject to any limitations set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the Loan Parties.
6. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
7. Governing Law. THIS JOINDER AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
8. Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
9. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each New Loan Party shall be given to it in care of the Company.
