(a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of such ABL Grantor to secure any Term Loan Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Obligations, the parties hereto agreeing that any such Lien shall be subject to Section 2.1; provided that this provision will not be violated with respect to any ABL Obligations if the ABL Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property of any ABL Grantor and either the ABL Borrower or the ABL Collateral Agent states in writing that the ABL Loan Documents prohibit the ABL Collateral Agent from accepting a Lien on such asset or property of the ABL Grantor, or the ABL Collateral Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property of the ABL Grantor (any such prohibited or declined lien, a “ABL Declined Lien”).

(b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of such ABL Grantor to secure any ABL Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Term Loan Obligations; provided that this provision will not be violated with respect to any Term Loan Obligations if the Term Loan Collateral Agent is given a reasonable opportunity to accept a Lien on any asset or property of any ABL Grantor and either the ABL Borrower or the Term Loan Collateral Agent states in writing that the Term Loan Documents prohibit the Term Loan Collateral Agent from accepting a Lien on such asset or property of the ABL Grantor, or the Term Loan Collateral Agent otherwise expressly declines to accept a Lien on such asset or property of the ABL Grantor (any such prohibited or declined lien, a “Term Loan Declined Lien” and, together with the ABL Declined Liens, the “Declined Liens”).

If the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any ABL Grantor securing any Term Loan Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens, other than any Declined Liens, securing all ABL Obligations under the ABL Collateral Documents, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Claimholder (i) shall notify the ABL Collateral Agent promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such ABL Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien, other than any such Lien that would constitute a Declined Lien, on such assets or property to the ABL Collateral Agent as security for the ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and Term Loan Claimholders shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders, other than any ABL Claimholders whose ABL Loan Documents prohibit them from taking such Liens, as security for the ABL Obligations. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to any ABL Collateral Agent and/or the ABL Claimholders, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of each Term Loan Claimholder, agrees 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.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, cash and cash equivalents may be pledged to secure ABL Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit issued pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents without granting a Lien thereon to secure any Term Loan Obligations. Nothing in this Section 2.3 shall apply to any assets or property of any Person other than the ABL Grantors.

2.4 Perfection of Liens. Except for the arrangements contemplated by Section 5.5, none of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral for the benefit of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the ABL Claimholders on the one hand and the Term Loan Claimholders on the other hand with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral and such provisions shall not impose on the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Claimholders, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the Term Loan Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any ABL Priority Collateral which would conflict with prior-perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority or any applicable law.

2.5 Nature of ABL Obligations. Each Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each Term Loan Claimholder represented by it, acknowledges that a portion of the ABL Obligations represents, or may in the future represent, debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently re-borrowed, and that, the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or

consent by the Term Loan Collateral Agents or the other Term Loan Claimholders and without affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, or any portion thereof.

SECTION 3. Enforcement.

3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

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

(1) will not commence or maintain, or seek to commence or maintain, any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral;

(2) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder or any other exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder of any rights and remedies under the ABL Loan Documents or otherwise, in each case, to the extent relating to the ABL Priority Collateral (including any Enforcement Action initiated by or supported by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder) and

(3) will not object to the forbearance by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral,

in each case so long as any proceeds received by the ABL Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of ABL Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.1 and applicable law.

(b) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any ABL Grantor, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain an Enforcement Action or otherwise enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to credit bid their debt, except that Term Loan Collateral Agent shall have the credit bid rights set forth in Section 3.1(c)(5)), in each case, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, and subject to Section 5.1, make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder; provided that

any proceeds received by the ABL Collateral Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of ABL Obligations are distributed in accordance with Section 4.1 and applicable law. In commencing or maintaining any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, in each case, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion in compliance with any applicable law and without consultation with the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder and regardless of whether any such exercise is adverse to the interest of any Term Loan Claimholder. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of 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 Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or an ABL Grantor, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and any other Term Loan Claimholder may:

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

(2) take any action not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, or the rights of any ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof, in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral and with respect to any ABL Pledged Collateral, take possession or control of such ABL Priority Collateral so long as the ABL Collateral Agent elects in writing not to take possession or control thereof;

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

(4) vote on any plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Term Loan Obligations and the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that no filing of any claim or vote, or pleading related to such claim or vote, to accept or reject

a disclosure statement, plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation, or any other document, agreement or proposal similar to the foregoing by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder may be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; and

(5) bid for or purchase ABL Priority Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such ABL Priority Collateral initiated by the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, or any sale of ABL Priority Collateral during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Term Loan Obligations unless the cash proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of ABL Obligations; and

(6) engage consultants and perform audits, examinations, and appraisals relating to the enforcement of Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral so long as such actions are not adverse to the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent to exercise remedies thereof and do not materially affect, in the reasonable discretion of the ABL Collateral Agent, the value of the ABL Priority Collateral.

The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that it will not take or receive any ABL Priority Collateral or any proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off and recoupment) with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Section 6.3(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to the Term Loan Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.1(c) and 6.3(b):

(1) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders will not take any action with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral that would hinder any exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral under the ABL Loan Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(2) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Claimholder, hereby waives any and all

rights it or the Term Loan Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder seeks to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations against any ABL Grantor or the Liens securing the ABL Obligations granted in any of the ABL Priority Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder is adverse to the interest of any Term Loan Claimholder; and

(3) the Term Loan Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Term Loan Collateral Documents or any other Term Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, in each case, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Loan Documents.

(e) Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the ABL Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Term Loan Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Documents and applicable law (other than initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any ABL Grantor); provided that in the event that any Term Loan Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) in the same manner as the other Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Except as specifically set forth in Section 3.1(d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Term Loan Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in any assets or property of the ABL Grantor held by any of them or as a result of any other violation by any Term Loan Claimholder of the express terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder may have with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Claimholders may have with respect to the Term Priority Collateral.

3.2 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance. If any Term Loan Claimholder, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fails to take any action required by this Agreement with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption and admission by such Term Loan Claimholder that relief against such Term Loan Claimholder by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the ABL Claimholders, it being understood and agreed by the Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of each Term Loan Claimholder that (i) the ABL Claimholders’ damages from actions of any Term Loan Claimholder in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Term Loan Claimholder waives any defense that any ABL Grantor and/or the ABL Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages, in each case in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Collateral Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder under the ABL Loan Documents, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder under the Term Loan Documents, hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders or the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, in each case in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver by the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder or the Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder of any right to seek damages from any Person in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any ABL Grantor, any ABL Priority Collateral or any proceeds thereof received in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of remedies by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder, in each case with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, shall be applied by the ABL Collateral Agent to the ABL Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant ABL Loan Documents; provided, that any non-cash Collateral or non-cash proceeds may be held by the ABL Collateral Agent as ABL Priority Collateral unless the failure to apply such amounts would be commercially unreasonable. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall, in the following order, (i) unless a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver any remaining proceeds of ABL Priority

Collateral held by it to the Term Loan Collateral Agent to be applied by the Term Loan Collateral Agent to the Term Loan Obligations in such order as specified in the Term Loan Documents until a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations and (ii) if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver such proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Grantor, its successors or assigns from time to time, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

4.2 Payments Over. (a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any ABL Grantor, any ABL Priority Collateral or any proceeds thereof (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 2.3 and any assets or proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated) received by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder in connection with any Enforcement Action or other exercise of any right or remedy relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, in all cases shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements shall be without recourse and without any representations or warranties) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any such other Term Loan Claimholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Obligations.

(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder shall receive any distribution of money or other property in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (including any assets of any ABL Grantor or proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated) such money or other property (other than debt obligations of the reorganized debtor distributed as contemplated by Section 6.6) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements shall be without recourse and without any representations or warranties). Any Lien on any assets or property of any ABL Grantor received by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder in respect of any of the Term Loan Obligations in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

4.3 Mandatory Prepayment. (a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any ABL Grantor, any net proceeds of any sale or other disposal by any ABL Grantor of ABL Priority Collateral other than inventory in the ordinary course of business shall be applied to prepay the ABL Obligations to the extent required under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement, and the amount of any prepayment required under and in accordance

with the provisions of Section 6.2.3(b) of the Term Loan Agreement in connection with such asset sale or other disposal will be reduced by the amount of such proceeds applied to permanently repay the ABL Obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, without a permanent reduction of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement) or cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations constituting ABL Obligations in such order as specified in the ABL Credit Agreement. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall, in the following order, (i) unless a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver any remaining proceeds thereof held by it to the Term Loan Collateral Agent to be applied by the Term Loan Collateral Agent to the Term Loan Obligations in such order as specified in the Term Loan Documents until a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations and (ii) if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver such proceeds to the ABL Grantor, its successors or assigns from time to time, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any ABL Grantor, any net cash proceeds of any issuance and/or incurrence of indebtedness for borrowed money by any ABL Grantor other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with the ABL Credit Agreement shall be applied to prepay the ABL Obligations to the extent required under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(b) of the ABL Credit Agreement, and the amount of any prepayment required under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2.3(c) of the Term Loan Agreement in connection with the issuance and/or incurrence of such indebtedness will be reduced by the amount of such proceeds applied to permanently repay the ABL Obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, without a permanent reduction of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement) or cash collateralize outstanding letter of credit obligations constituting ABL Obligations in such order as specified in the ABL Credit Agreement. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall, in the following order, (i) unless a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver any remaining proceeds thereof held by it to the Term Loan Collateral Agent to be applied by the Term Loan Collateral Agent to the Term Loan Obligations in such order as specified in the Term Loan Documents until a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations and (ii) if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, deliver such proceeds to the ABL Grantor, its successors or assigns from time to time, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) If in connection with any Enforcement Action by the ABL Collateral Agent or any other exercise of the ABL Collateral Agent’s remedies, in each case, in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (including, without limitation,

the disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral by any ABL Grantor during an Event of Default under (and defined in) the ABL Loan Document with the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent), in each case prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any other ABL Claimholder, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders, on such ABL Priority Collateral, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Term Loan Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable ABL Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral as the ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable ABL Grantor may request to effectively confirm the foregoing releases.

(b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral by any ABL Grantor (collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and not prohibited under the terms of the Term Loan Documents (other than in connection with an Enforcement Action or other exercise of the ABL Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a)), the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any other ABL Claimholder, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the other Term Loan Claimholders, on such ABL Priority Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released unless such release is in connection with, or following, the Discharge of the ABL Obligations. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of each other Term Loan Claimholder, shall promptly execute and deliver to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the ABL Collateral Agent or the applicable ABL Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

(c) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the ABL Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the ABL Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and such Term Loan Claimholder or in the ABL Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the ABL Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Obligations.

(d) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, to the extent that the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder (i) has released any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral and any such Liens are later reinstated or (ii) obtains any new Liens from any ABL Grantor, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and for the other Term Loan Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such ABL Priority Collateral (except to the extent such Lien represents a Term Loan Declined Lien with respect to the Term Loan Obligations represented by the Term Loan Collateral Agent), subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the ABL Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the ABL Priority Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the ABL Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral shall be paid to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, if a Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the ABL Grantors under the Term Loan Documents, the balance of such proceeds shall be paid to the Term Loan Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders to the extent required under the Term Loan Documents and then, if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, any remaining balance shall be paid to the ABL Grantors, their successors or assigns from time to time, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in respect of ABL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, then it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3 Amendments to ABL Loan Documents and Term Loan Documents.

(a) The ABL Loan Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms and the ABL Debt may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of a Refinancing, the holders of such Refinancing debt (directly or through their agent) bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Term Loan Collateral Agent to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Term Loan Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their terms and the Term Loan Debt may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided that any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and, in the case of any Refinancing, the holders of such Refinancing debt (directly or through their agent) bind themselves in a writing addressed to the ABL Collateral Agent to the terms of this Agreement

(c) In the event any ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL Collateral Document, in each case in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent, such ABL Claimholders or any ABL Grantor thereunder in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of a Term Loan Collateral Document without the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder and without any action by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any ABL Grantor, provided that:

(1) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of:

(A) removing assets subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Documents on any ABL Priority Collateral, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is required by Section 5.1 and provided that there is a corresponding release of the Liens securing the ABL Obligations;

(B) imposing duties on the Term Loan Collateral Agent without its consent;

(C) permitting other Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Documents or Section 6; or

(D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Term Loan Claimholders to a greater extent than the ABL Claimholders (other than by virtue of their relative priority and the rights and obligations hereunder); and

(2) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Term Loan Collateral Agent within ten Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

5.4 Confirmation of Subordination in Term Loan Collateral Documents. Each ABL Grantor agrees that each Term Loan Collateral Document in respect of ABL Priority Collateral shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Term Loan Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Term Loan Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 29, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), among PNC Bank, National Association, as ABL Collateral Agent and BNP Paribas, as Term Loan Collateral Agent and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control, to the extent provided therein.”

5.5 Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection.

(a) The ABL Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the ABL Priority 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 under the UCC (such ABL Priority Collateral being the “ABL Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the ABL Claimholders and as gratuitous bailee for the Term Loan Collateral Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents, respectively, on ABL Priority Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. Solely with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral constituting deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the Term Loan Collateral Agent (except with respect to cash and cash equivalents held in such deposit accounts pledged to secure ABL Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit issued pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents), subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. Prior to a Discharge of ABL Obligations, at the request of the ABL Collateral Agent, the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall turn over possession of any ABL Pledged Collateral in possession of the Term Loan Collateral Agent to the ABL Collateral Agent.

(b) The ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other ABL Claimholders, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Claimholder to ensure that the ABL Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any ABL Grantor, to perfect the security interest of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or other Term Loan Claimholders or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the ABL Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.5 and delivering the ABL Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of ABL Obligations as provided in Section 5.5(d).

(c) No ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder shall have by reason of the ABL Collateral Documents, the Term Loan Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder and the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders hereby waive and release the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the ABL Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.5 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the ABL Pledged Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders on the other hand, may differ and the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall be fully entitled to act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders.

(d) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining ABL Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), in the following order: (i) if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not already occurred, to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, (ii) if a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has already occurred, to the ABL Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, ABL Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by Term Loan Collateral Agent at the expense of the ABL Grantor in connection with the Term Loan Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral. After the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, Term Loan Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining ABL Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty) to the ABL Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

5.6 When Discharge of ABL Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. (a) If, at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred or contemporaneously therewith, any ABL Grantor enters into any Refinancing of any ABL Loan Document evidencing an ABL Obligation, then such Discharge of ABL 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), and, from and after the date on which the New ABL Debt Notice is delivered to the Term Loan Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the ABL Loan Document shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of ABL Priority Collateral set forth herein, and the ABL Collateral Agent under such ABL Loan Documents shall be the ABL Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. 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. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New ABL Debt Notice”) stating that any ABL Grantor has entered into a new ABL Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new ABL Collateral Agent, such agent, the “New ABL Agent”), the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such ABL Grantor or such New ABL Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New ABL Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New ABL Agent any ABL Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New ABL Agent to obtain control of such ABL Pledged Collateral). The New ABL Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new ABL Obligations under the new ABL Loan Documents are secured by assets of any ABL Grantor constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the Term Loan Obligations, then the Term Loan Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second-priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Term Loan Collateral Documents and this Agreement except to the extent such Lien on such assets constitutes a Term Loan Declined Lien. This Section 5.6(a) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) If, at any time after the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred or contemporaneously therewith, any ABL Grantor enters into any Refinancing of any Term Loan Document evidencing a Term Loan Obligation, then such Discharge of Term Loan 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 Term Loan Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New Term Loan Debt Notice is delivered to the ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the Term Loan Document shall automatically be treated as Term Loan Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of ABL Priority Collateral set forth herein, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent under such Term Loan Documents shall be the Term Loan Collateral Agent for all purposes of this

Agreement. 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. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Term Debt Notice”) stating that any ABL Grantor has entered into a new Term Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new Term Loan Collateral Agent, such agent, the “New Term Loan Agent”), the ABL Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such ABL Grantor or such New Term Loan Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Term Loan Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The New Term Loan Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Term Loan Obligations under the new Term Loan Documents are secured by assets of any ABL Grantor constituting ABL Priority Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Obligations, then the ABL Obligations shall be secured at such time by a first-priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Collateral Documents and this Agreement except to the extent such Lien on such assets constitutes an ABL Declined Lien. This Section 5.6(b) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

5.7 Purchase Right. (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any of the ABL Claimholders’ remedies under the ABL Loan Documents in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, this Agreement, at law or in equity or otherwise, if there is (i) an acceleration of any of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable ABL Loan Documents, (ii) a payment default under any ABL Loan Document that has not been cured or waived by the applicable ABL Claimholders within 60 days of the occurrence thereof or (iii) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any ABL Grantor (each event, a “Purchase Event”), then the Term Loan Claimholders may within 20 Business Days of such Purchase Event purchase (the “Purchase Period”) the entire aggregate amount (but not less than the entirety) of outstanding ABL Obligations (including unfunded commitments under any ABL Loan Document that have not been terminated at such time) at the Purchase Price without warranty or representation or recourse except as provided in Section 5.7(d), on a pro rata basis among the ABL Claimholders. Within ten (10) Business Days of the occurrence of a Purchase Event, the Term Loan Claimholders desiring to purchase all of the ABL Obligations (the “Purchasing Creditors”) may deliver a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to the ABL Collateral Agent that (1) is signed by the Purchasing Creditors, (2) states that delivery of such Purchase Notice constitutes an irrevocable election by (A) the Purchasing Creditors to collectively purchase the ABL Obligations for the Purchase Price (defined below) and (B) each Purchasing Creditor to purchase the percentage of all of the ABL Obligations stated in the Purchase Notice for that Purchasing Creditor, which percentages must aggregate exactly 100% for all Purchasing Creditors, and (4) designates a purchase date (the “Purchase Date”) on which the purchase will occur, that is at least 5 but not more than 20 Business Days after the ABL Collateral Agent’s receipt of the Purchase Notice and, in any event, before the expiration of the Purchase Period. A Purchase Notice will be ineffective if it is received by the ABL Collateral Agent after the occurrence giving rise to the Purchase Event is waived, cured, or otherwise ceases to exist. Upon the ABL Collateral Agent’s receipt of an effective Purchase Notice conforming to this Section 5.7, the Purchasing Creditors will be irrevocably obligated to purchase, and the ABL Claimholders will be irrevocably obligated to sell and assign, the ABL Obligations in accordance with and subject to this Section 5.7.

(b) The “Purchase Price” will equal the sum of (1) the full amount of all ABL Obligations then-outstanding and unpaid at par (including principal, accrued but unpaid interest and fees and any other unpaid amounts, including breakage costs and, in the case of any secured hedging obligations and/or cash management obligations, the amount that would be payable by the relevant Grantor thereunder if such Grantor were to terminate the hedge agreement in respect thereof on the date of the purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant ABL Claimholder to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such agreement, and in the case of any secured cash management obligations, an amount determined by the relevant ABL Claimholder to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such obligations, but excluding any prepayment penalties or premiums), (2) the cash collateral to be furnished to the ABL Claimholders providing letters of credit under the ABL Loan Documents in such amount (not to exceed 105% thereof) as such ABL Claimholders determine is reasonably necessary to secure such ABL Claimholders in connection with any such outstanding and undrawn letters of credit and (3) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) owed to the ABL Claimholders under or pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents on the date of purchase.

(c) Each ABL Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant ABL Loan Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to periods prior to the purchase of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.7.

(d) The purchase and sale of the ABL Obligations under this Section 5.7 will be without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by the ABL Claimholders, except that the ABL Claimholders shall severally and not jointly represent and warrant to the Term Loan Claimholders that on the date of such purchase, immediately before giving effect to the purchase;

(1) the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the ABL Obligations, and the fees and expenses thereof owed to the respective ABL Claimholders, are as stated in any assignment agreement prepared in connection with the purchase and sale of the ABL Obligations; and

(2) each ABL Claimholder owns the ABL Obligations purported to be owned by it free and clear of any Liens (other than participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Loan Documents, in which case the Purchase Price will be appropriately adjusted so that the Term Loan Claimholders do not pay amounts represented by participation interests to the extent that the Term Loan Claimholders expressly assume the obligations under such participation interests).

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any ABL Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Collateral 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 proceeds thereof on which such ABL Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien, or to permit any ABL 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”), then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, will be deemed to have consented to, will not object to, nor support any other Person objecting to, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the ABL Collateral Agent) and to the extent the Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Term Loan Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in such ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), to any adequate protection provided to the ABL Claimholders and to any “carve-out” for trustees’ fees and allowed professional’s fees, and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the ABL Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that (A) nothing herein shall restrict the rights of Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Claimholders to object to any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing to the same extent as such objections could be raised by a creditor whose claims are not secured by Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as such objections are not in contravention of the express provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 6.1), (B) such DIP Financing provides that the Liens granted to any Person in any ABL Priority Collateral in connection with such DIP Financing are subject to this Agreement, (C) such DIP Financing provides that the ABL Claimholders retain a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral (including proceeds thereof) with the same priority relative to the Liens of the Term Loan Claimholders as existed prior to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (D) the interest rate, fees, advance rates, lending limits, and sublimits are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and (E) the terms of such DIP Financing do not compel the ABL Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization and do not require the liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing, it being understood and agreed, however, that the DIP Financing may require that a plan of reorganization or that a motion for the sale of substantially all of the assets of such ABL Grantor(s) outside of a plan of reorganization acceptable to the ABL Claimholders must be filed by a date certain. No Term Loan Claimholder (unless such Term Loan Claimholder is also an ABL Claimholder, but, for the avoidance of doubt, only in its capacity as an ABL Claimholder) may provide, participate in, or join with any Person to provide, DIP Financing to the ABL Grantor secured by Liens on ABL Priority Collateral equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any ABL Obligations. The Term Loan Collateral

Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that it will not oppose any sale of ABL Priority Collateral free and clear of the Liens of the Term Loan Claimholders conducted in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent provisions in any other applicable jurisdictions) that has been consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent, and it (i) will be deemed to have consented to any such sale, (ii) will agree not to seek consultation rights in connection therewith and (iii) shall not have the right to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any such sale unless the cash portion of any such bid is sufficient to a cause a Discharge of the ABL Obligations. Subject to Section 3.1(c)(4), nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or affect the rights of the ABL Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders to object to any plan on any basis.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that none of them shall: (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by a bankruptcy court or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent for relief from such stay.

6.3 Adequate Protection.

(a) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(1) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to ABL Priority Collateral; or

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

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor:

(1) if the ABL Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and any other Term Loan Claimholder, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and such Cash

Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL Obligations under this Agreement; and

(2) the Term Loan Collateral Agent and Term Loan Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, is also granted a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien shall be senior to any Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, is also granted replacement Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, which Liens shall be senior to the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders on the ABL Priority Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim against any ABL Grantor; provided that as adequate protection for the ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim against such ABL Grantor which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Claimholders; and (D) cash payments with respect to Post-Petition Interest on the Term Loan Obligations to the extent such Post-Petition Interest relates to the value of the Term Loan Claimholders’ Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that (1) as adequate protection for the ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to Post-Petition Interest on the ABL Obligations to the extent such Post-Petition Interest relates to the value of the ABL Claimholders’ Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, and (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of Term Loan Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the Term Loan Documents and accruing from the date the Term Loan Collateral Agent is granted such relief. If any Term Loan Claimholder receives Post-Petition Interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the ABL Grantor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (“Term Loan Adequate Protection Payments”), and the ABL Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all ABL Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then each Term Loan Claimholder shall pay over to the ABL Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Term Loan Adequate Protection Payments received by such Term Loan Claimholders and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full in cash of the ABL Obligations; provided

that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the ABL Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the ABL Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, to the applicable Term Loan Claimholders pro rata in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ABL Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Term Loan Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).

(c) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Term Loan Collateral Agent at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Term Loan Collateral Agent at least fifteen (15) days in advance of such hearing.

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Section 6.7(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor or otherwise to any action taken by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the other Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, including the seeking by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder of adequate protection or the asserting by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise, in each case in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral.

6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any ABL Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholder shall be entitled to a reinstatement of its ABL Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. 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. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor of any ABL Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor of any ABL Grantor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or

liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Loan 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 Liens securing such debt obligations, notwithstanding any language in any such plan of reorganization to the contrary.

6.7 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) None of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor of ABL Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of any ABL Claimholder’s Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Claimholders on the ABL Priority Collateral.

(b) None of the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor of Term Loan Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, on the ABL Priority Collateral (after taking into account the amount of the ABL Obligations).

6.8 Waiver. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any ABL Claimholder arising out of the election of any ABL Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest, in each case in connection with the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, and the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) the grants of Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Term Loan Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor.

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 Term Loan Claimholders in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against any ABL Grantor in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders), the ABL Claimholders 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 (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest (including any additional interest payable pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, with the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder, ABL Priority Collateral or proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral 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 claim or recovery of the Term Loan Claimholders).

6.10 Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any ABL Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

The relative rights of the ABL Claimholders and the Term Loan Claimholders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral subject to the Liens of the Collateral Agents shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the ABL Borrower or any other ABL Grantor, including, without limitation, the filing of any petition by or against the ABL Borrower or any other ABL 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 ABL Borrower or any other ABL 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.

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. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder, acknowledges that it and such other ABL Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the ABL Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Loan Documents or this Agreement. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, acknowledges that it and such other Term Loan Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Term Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Loan Documents or this Agreement.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other ABL Claimholder, acknowledges and agrees that none of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Term Loan Documents, the ownership of any ABL Priority Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Term Loan Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Term Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, acknowledges and agrees that none of the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the ABL Loan Documents, the ownership of any ABL Priority Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Claimholders will be entitled to

manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the ABL Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Collateral Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, and the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder, 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 with any ABL Grantor (including the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan 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 ABL Claimholders, the ABL Collateral Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any ABL Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any ABL Claimholder or the ABL Collateral Agent, 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 Term Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder, 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 ABL Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(a)), the ABL Claimholders, the ABL Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder, without incurring any liabilities to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities on the ABL Priority Collateral and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(1) 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 ABL Obligations or any Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral or guaranty by any ABL Grantor of any of the ABL Obligations or any liability of any ABL Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the ABL 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 on the ABL Priority Collateral held by the ABL Collateral Agent or any of the other ABL Claimholders, the ABL Obligations or any of the ABL Loan Documents;

(2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the ABL Priority Collateral or any liability of the ABL Grantor to any of the ABL Claimholders or the ABL Collateral Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(3) settle or compromise any ABL Obligation of any ABL Grantor or any other liability of any ABL Grantor or any security granted by any ABL Grantor therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the ABL Obligations of any ABL Grantor) in any manner or order; and

(4) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any ABL Grantor or any security granted by any ABL Grantor, and elect any remedy against any ABL Grantor and otherwise deal freely with any ABL Grantor or any ABL Priority Collateral and any security granted by any ABL Grantor and any guarantor or any liability of any ABL Grantor to the ABL Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

(c) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral.

7.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders and the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan 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 Term Loan Documents;

(b) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any ABL Loan Document or any Term Loan Document;

(c) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange of any security interest in any ABL Priority 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 ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

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

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

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1 Integration/Conflicts. This Agreement, the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the ABL Grantors, the ABL Claimholders and the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the ABL Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents or the Term Loan Documents or the Term Loan Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or any actions against any ABL Grantor. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement and the provisions of the ABL Loan Documents, the Term Loan Documents or this Agreement, the provisions of the Term Loan Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the Term Priority Collateral and any actions against any ABL Guarantor.

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 on the ABL Priority Collateral and the ABL Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder subject to the Term Loan Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the ABL Borrower or any ABL Grantor constituting ABL Obligations in reliance hereof. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, 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 of any ABL Grantor. Any provision of this

Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating 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. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to those of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. All references to any ABL Grantor shall include such ABL Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver, trustee or similar person for any other ABL Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any ABL Grantor. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which there has been a Discharge of ABL Obligations and (y) the date on which there has been a Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, in each case, subject to Sections 5.6 and 6.5; provided, however, that no termination shall relieve any party of its obligations incurred hereunder prior to the date of termination.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral 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, no ABL Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, except with respect to this Section 8.3 (including, in each case, each defined term referred to therein to the extent used therein) to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver directly and adversely affects the rights of such ABL Grantor.

8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the ABL Borrower and its Subsidiaries. The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Term Loan Claimholders and the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the ABL Grantors and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations. The ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to advise the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the ABL Collateral Agent or any of the other ABL Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

(a) to make, and the ABL Collateral Agent and the other ABL Claimholders 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;

(b) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion;

(d) 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. With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Term Loan Claimholders or the Term Loan Collateral Agent pays over to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Term Loan Claimholders and the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be subrogated to the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders; provided that the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. Each ABL Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders that are paid over to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Term Loan Obligations.

8.6 Application of Payments. All payments received by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders from any ABL Grantor may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the ABL Obligations provided for in the ABL Loan Documents. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each other Term Loan Claimholder, agrees to any extension or postponement of the time of payment of the ABL Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any Lien which may at any time secure any part of the ABL Obligations.

(c) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and that nothing in this Agreement or any other ABL Loan Document or Term Loan Document shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other ABL Loan Document or Term Loan Document against such ABL Grantor or any of its assets in the courts of any jurisdiction;

(d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Collateral Documents in any court referred to in Section 8.7(a) (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court);

(e) consents to service of process in any such proceeding in any such court by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the applicable party at its address provided in accordance with Section 8.9 (and agrees that nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law);

(f) agrees that service as provided in Section 8.7(e) is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over the applicable party in any such proceeding in any such court, and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect; and

(g) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
