Each party hereto agrees that each Debt Agreement, each Term Loan/Notes Security Document and each ABL Security Document in each case entered into on or after the date hereof shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Schedule I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the ABL Agent and the Term Loan/Notes Agents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1. DIP Financing. If the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and shall move for the approval of the use of cash collateral or of financing (“DIP Financing”) under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support any objection to, and will not otherwise contest (a) such DIP Financing provided (or consented to or not objected to) by such First Priority Agent, the Liens on First Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing (the “DIP Financing Liens”) or the use of cash collateral that constitutes First Priority Collateral, in each case unless the First Priority Agent or the First Priority Secured Parties shall then object or support an objection to such DIP Financing, DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral, and will not object on the basis of lack of adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations under the applicable First Priority Documents are subordinated or equal in priority with such DIP Financing Liens, will subordinate (and will be deemed by virtue of this Agreement to have subordinated) its Liens on the First Priority Collateral to such DIP Financing Liens on the same basis as the other Liens on First Priority Collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing First Priority Obligations under this Agreement, (b) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of First Priority Obligations made by the First Priority Agent or any holder of First Priority Obligations, (c) any lawful exercise by any holder of First Priority Obligations of the right to credit bid First Priority Obligations under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable

provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any sale in foreclosure of any Collateral that is First Priority Collateral with respect to such claims or (d) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of First Priority Obligations relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on First Priority Collateral.

6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Each Term Loan/Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, no Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Lien thereon securing any of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations has not occurred, no ABL Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Term Loan/Notes Agents, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Lien thereon securing any of the ABL Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Grantor waives or shall be deemed to have waived any rights under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.3. Adequate Protection.

(a) Each Term Loan/Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting:

(i) any request by the ABL Agent or any of the other ABL Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any adequate protection provided to the ABL Agent or any of the other ABL Secured Parties with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral); or

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

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting:

(i) any request by any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any of the other Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral or any adequate protection provided to any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any of the other Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties with respect to the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from ABL Priority Collateral); or

(ii) any objection by any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan/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 Term Loan/Notes Agent or Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall be entitled (and each Term Loan/Notes Agent and Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in the ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, subject to Section 6.1, the Term Loan/Notes Agents and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties 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 Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in respect of their interest in such ABL Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the ABL Agent in such Collateral and such other collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion);

(ii) no ABL Agent or ABL Secured Party shall be entitled (and the ABL Agent and each ABL Secured Party shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection in respect of Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral except as may be consented to in writing by each Term Loan/Notes Agent in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, the ABL Agent and ABL Secured Parties may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the Term Loan/Notes Agents and Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the Term Loan/Notes Agents and Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties in respect of their interest in such Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral) is subordinated

to the Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral; and

(2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by each Term Loan/Notes Agent in its sole and absolute discretion).

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

6.4. Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Term Loan/Notes Agents nor any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party 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 such ABL Agent’s Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents on behalf of the applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral. Neither the ABL Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan/Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents on behalf of the applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the ABL Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral).

(b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan/Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of such Term Loan/Notes Agent’s Lien on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral. Neither the Term Loan/Notes Agents nor any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL

Secured Party 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 of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral).

6.5. Preference Issues.

(a) If any ABL Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (an “ABL Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties provided for herein.

(b) If any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Term Loan/Notes Recovery”), then the Term Loan/Notes Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Loan/Notes Recovery and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties and the ABL Secured Parties provided for herein.

6.6. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted or subsequent cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such Grantor and the Borrower or such Grantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted cases and subsequent cases, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Borrower or any other Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any other court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

6.7. Waivers. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Term Loan/Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar

provision of other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any ABL Collateral, (b) agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim against any ABL Secured Party under the “equities of the case” exception of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws for the costs and expenses of preserving or disposing of any of the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (c) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral. Until the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and each ABL Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan/Notes Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Term Loan/Notes Collateral, (b) agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim against any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party under the “equities of the case” exception of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws for the costs and expenses of preserving or disposing of any of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (c) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar provision of other Bankruptcy Laws with respect to any Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral.

6.8. Separate Classes. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties are not “substantially similar” within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens to secure the ABL Obligations and the grants of the Liens to secure the Term Loan/Notes Obligations constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) the ABL Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (d) as a result of the foregoing, among other things, the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any 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 Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations, on the one hand, and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations, on the other hand, against the Grantors, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient, the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, 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 that is available from that portion of the Collateral in which each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, respectively, have a First Priority Obligation, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties from such Collateral, with the 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.

6.9. Asset Sales.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth below, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Term Loan/Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties will not object to or oppose in any manner (or support any Person in objecting to or opposing) a motion with respect to any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (including any motion seeking approval of bid procedures) free and clear of the Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents and the other Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law and shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code that has been consented to by the ABL Agent; provided that the proceeds of such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral shall be applied to the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan/Notes Obligations in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3, or if not so applied, the Liens of the Term Loan/Notes Agents in such ABL Priority Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth below, until the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the ABL Secured Parties will not object to or oppose in any manner (or support any Person in objecting to or opposing) a motion with respect to any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral (including any motion seeking approval of bid procedures) free and clear of the Liens of the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law and shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code that has been consented to by the Term Loan/Notes Agents; provided that the proceeds of such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral shall be applied to the Term Loan/Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations in accordance with Sections 4.2 and 4.3, or if not so applied, the Liens of the ABL Agent in such Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof.

6.10. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations, then, to the extent that the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or 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 Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.11. Other Bankruptcy Laws. In the event that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any Bankruptcy Law other than the Bankruptcy Code, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law applicable to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law, such other general Bankruptcy Law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 7. [Reserved]

Section 8. Reliance; Waivers; etc.

8.1. Reliance. The consent by the First Priority Secured Parties to the incurrence by the Borrower and the other Grantors of the Second Priority Obligations, the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Documents and the grant to each applicable Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties of a Lien on the Collateral and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the First Priority Secured Parties to the Borrower or any other Grantor shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.

8.2. No Warranties or Liability. Except as set forth in Section 9.14, neither the First Priority Agent nor any First Priority Secured Party shall have been deemed to have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Priority Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Priority Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Priority Documents in accordance with Law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the First Priority Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the First Priority Agent nor any First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the parties hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Term Loan/Notes Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable, on the grounds that any sale, transfer or other disposition by such Term Loan/Notes Agent or ABL Agent (as applicable) was not commercially reasonable to the extent required by the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Priority Agent, the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of any of the First Priority Obligations, the Second Priority Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in

connection therewith, (b) the Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

8.3. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Priority Agent and the First Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Priority Documents or any Second Priority Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including, subject to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 hereof, any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Loan Document or of the terms of the Term Loan/Notes Agreements or any other Term Loan/Notes Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Priority Obligations or Second Priority Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

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

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the First Priority Obligations, or of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of this Agreement.

Section 9. Miscellaneous.

9.1. Conflicts. Subject to Section 9.18 and Section 9.19, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Loan Document or any Term Loan/Notes Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Solely as among the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Senior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as the case may be, such Senior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall govern and control.

9.2. Term of this Agreement; Severability. (a) This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Parties, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Grantor constituting First Priority Obligations in reliance hereon. Each Second Priority

Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby waives any right it 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. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(i) with respect to the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Obligations, upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Secured Parties under Section 6.5; and

(ii) with respect to the Term Loan/Notes Agents, the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties and the Term Loan/Notes Obligations, upon the Discharge of Term Loan/Notes Obligations, subject to the rights of the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties under Section 6.5.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the ABL Agent or the Term Loan/Notes Agents shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same 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. No Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except, in the case of the Grantors, to the extent that their rights or obligations are directly adversely affected.

(b) Subject to compliance with Section 9.3(d) below, upon any Refinancing in full of the ABL Credit Agreement, a Term Loan/Notes Agreement or any other Debt Agreement as then in effect, the Grantors will be permitted to designate the agreement which Refinances the ABL Credit Agreement, such Term Loan/Notes Agreement or such other Debt Agreement as a replacement ABL Credit Agreement (the “Replacement ABL Credit Agreement”), Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement in which case such designated agreement shall thereafter constitute the ABL Credit Agreement, applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, for purposes hereof; provided that each predecessor ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement and/or other Debt Agreement shall continue to be bound by (and entitled to the benefits of) the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, Section 6.5 hereof) as applied to such agreements, the related agreements and all Obligations thereunder prior to the Refinancing thereof.

(c) Subject to compliance with the following clauses (d) through (g), notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time at the request of the Borrower in accordance with clauses (d) through (g) below, at the Borrower’s expense, and without the consent of any ABL Agent or Term Loan/Notes Agent to (i) add Additional Holders of Future

Secured Term Indebtedness (or Additional Agents therefor) to the extent such Indebtedness and related obligations (and the Liens thereon) are not prohibited by the Term Loan/Notes Documents or the ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable, (ii) in the case of Additional Senior-Priority Debt, (1) establish that the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt shall rank junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the ABL Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Senior-Priority Obligations and that the Lien on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt shall rank senior in all respects to all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any Senior-Priority Obligations, and (2) provide to the Additional Holders of such Additional Senior-Priority Debt (or any Additional Agents thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Agent) as are provided to the holders of Senior-Priority Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of Additional Junior-Priority Debt, (1) establish that the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing Indebtedness and other obligations in respect of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt shall rank junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the ABL Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any then existing Junior-Priority Obligations and that the Lien on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing the obligations in respect of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt shall rank senior in all respects to all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any ABL Obligations and shall share in the benefits of the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral securing any Junior-Priority Obligations, and (2) provide to the Additional Holders of such Additional Junior-Priority Debt (or any Additional Agent in respect thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the ABL Agent) as are provided to the holders of any other then existing Junior-Priority Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Upon the execution and delivery of any Replacement ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement (as contemplated by the preceding clause (b)) or any Debt Agreement with respect to any Future Secured Term Indebtedness (as contemplated by the preceding clause (c)):

(i) the Borrower shall deliver to the ABL Agent and each Term Loan/Notes Agent an officer’s certificate stating that the applicable Grantors (x) in the case of preceding clause (b), intend to enter or have entered into a Refinancing, in whole or in part, of the ABL Credit Agreement, a Term Loan/Notes Agreement or any other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, that such agreement shall thereafter (upon any such Refinancing in full) constitute the ABL Credit Agreement, applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement or another Debt Agreement, as the case may be, and certifying to each applicable Agent that such Refinancing is permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement, each applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreement and each other applicable Debt Agreement, as applicable (exclusive of any such agreement which is then being Refinanced in full), or (y) in the case of preceding clause (c), intend to enter or have entered into a Debt Agreement with

respect to such Future Secured Term Indebtedness, and certifying to each applicable Agent that the issuance or incurrence of such Future Secured Term Indebtedness and the Liens securing the Indebtedness and other obligations in respect of such Future Secured Term Indebtedness are permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement, the applicable Term Loan/Notes Agreements and each other applicable Debt Agreement, as applicable. Each applicable Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the determination of the Borrower that such issuance and/or incurrence does not violate the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents, the applicable Term Loan/Notes Documents or any other applicable Debt Agreement; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the each applicable Grantor has complied with its undertakings in the ABL Loan Documents or the Term Loan/Notes Documents or each other Debt Agreement, as applicable; and

(ii) (x) in the case of the preceding clause (b), the Borrower shall provide prompt prior written notice to each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent of the new ABL Credit Agreement, Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement, as the case may be, together with copies thereof, and identifying the Additional Agent thereunder, and providing its notice information for purposes hereof, and such Additional Agent shall execute and deliver an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder which is acknowledged by each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent, or (y) in the case of an amendment, supplement or other modification to this Agreement with respect to Future Secured Term Indebtedness as contemplated by the preceding clause (c), the Borrower shall provide prior written notice to each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent and the Additional Agent for such Future Secured Term Indebtedness shall execute and deliver to the ABL Agent and each other Term Loan/Notes Agent an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder acknowledging that such holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties which is acknowledged by each then existing ABL Agent and Term Loan/Notes Agent.

(e) In each case above, each Term Loan/Notes Agent and the ABL Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement) (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the party executing the same (provided that such document or agreement shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to such party if the amendments set forth therein are consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement)) as the Borrower, any other Term Loan/Notes Agent or ABL Agent (but no other Secured Party) may reasonably request in order to provide to it the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In the case of a designation of a new Term Loan/Notes Agreement or other Debt Agreement with respect to Future Secured Term Indebtedness pursuant to preceding clause (b) or (c), the ABL Agent and any other Term Loan/Notes Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the party executing the same) as the Borrower or such Additional Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the Additional Agent the

rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) in the case of clause (b) only, deliver to the Additional Agent any Pledged Collateral (to the extent constituting Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral) held by such ABL Agent or (subject to the terms of the Junior-Priority Intercreditor Agreement and applicable Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement) such other Term Loan/Notes Agent, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Additional Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The Additional Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Term Loan/Notes Obligations under the new Term Loan/Notes Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other Term Loan/Notes Priority Collateral. If the new Term Loan/Notes Obligations under the new Term Loan/Notes Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Priority Collateral.

(g) It is understood that the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, without the consent of any other ABL Secured Party or Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, may in their 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 of any of the Grantors become Term Loan/Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement (such Indebtedness or other obligations, “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, if applicable, specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes Term Loan/Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations; provided that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred under any ABL Credit Agreement and any Term Loan/Notes Agreement then extant in accordance with the terms thereof. Each such supplemental agreement (x) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, (y) shall be executed by the agent with respect to the applicable series of Additional Debt (and, upon the effectiveness of such supplemental agreement, such agent shall become an “ABL Agent” or a “Term Loan/Notes Agent”, as the case may be, hereunder) and (z) shall provide, in a manner satisfactory to the ABL Agent and the Designated Term Loan/Notes Agent, that the agent with respect to any applicable series of Additional Debt and each holder of such series of Additional Debt shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement, as so supplemented, in its capacity as a holder of such series of Additional Debt.

9.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower, the ABL Borrowers and the Subsidiaries. No ABL Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party to keep any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party informed of, and each Term Loan/Notes Agent and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties shall not be entitled to rely on, the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to, (a) the financial condition of the Borrower and the Grantors and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan/Notes Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan/Notes Obligations. No Term Loan/Notes

Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party shall have any obligation to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to keep the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party informed of, and the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not be entitled to rely on, any Term Loan/Notes Agent or the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties with respect to, (a) the financial condition of the Borrower and the Grantors and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan/Notes Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan/Notes Obligations. The ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan/Notes Agents and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the ABL Agent, any ABL Secured Party, any Term Loan/Notes Agent or any Term Loan/Notes Secured Party, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan/Notes Agents and the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

9.5. Subrogation. Each Term Loan/Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations as the Term Loan/Notes Secured Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent with the terms of the Term Loan/Notes Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and each ABL Secured Party, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Term

Loan/Notes Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Term Loan/Notes Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.
