B. The New First Lien Indenture has been designated by the Company as being included in the definition of “Credit Agreement” set forth in the 1-1/2 Lien Notes Indenture. The New First Lien Indenture, the New First Lien Notes, the Security Documents (as defined in the New First Lien Indenture) (the “Security Documents”) and any related document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing shall constitute “Senior Credit Documents” as defined in the 1-1/2 Lien Notes Indenture.

The Obligations under the New First Lien Indenture and any other document or agreement entered into pursuant thereto constitute First-Lien Indebtedness (which First-Lien Indebtedness, for the avoidance of doubt, also constitutes Future First-Lien Indebtedness) and Senior Lender Claims.
D. The Liens on the Common Collateral securing such Senior Lender Claims shall have priority over and be senior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims on the terms set forth in the 1-1/2 Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, subject to the terms of any other applicable intercreditor agreement then in effect, shall be equal and ratable with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any other Senior Lender Claims.
E. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred and subject to the terms of any other applicable intercreditor agreement then in effect, the Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, the Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the Intercreditor Agent ratably to the Senior Lender Claims and, with respect to each class of Senior Lender Claims, in such order as is specified in the relevant Senior Lender Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred.
