SECTION 3.1 Priority of Liens. (a) Notwithstanding anything else contained herein or in any of the other Security Documents or Priority Lien Security Documents, it is the intent of the parties that:
(1) the grant of Priority Liens pursuant to the Priority Lien Security Documents and the grant of Notes Liens pursuant to the Security Documents, respectively, create two separate and distinct Liens: the Priority Liens securing the payment and performance of the Priority Lien Obligations and the Notes Liens securing the payment and performance of the Notes Obligations, respectively; and

(b) Following the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Noteholders and any Notes Representative may assert their right under the UCC or otherwise to any proceeds remaining following a sale or other disposition of Shared Real Estate Collateral by, or on behalf of, the holders of Priority Lien Obligations.
SECTION 3.4 Discretion in Enforcement of Priority Liens.
(a) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Shared Real Estate Collateral, the Priority Lien Representatives may enforce (or refrain from enforcing) the provisions of the Priority Lien Documents and exercise (or refrain from exercising) remedies thereunder or any such rights and remedies, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole and exclusive discretion in accordance with applicable law, including:
(1) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies in respect of the Shared Real Estate Collateral and/or the Priority Lien Obligations;
(2) the enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of any Priority Lien in respect of the Shared Real Estate Collateral;
(3) the acceptance of the Shared Real Estate Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the Priority Lien Obligations; and
(4) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC or any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction or in equity.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Noteholders and the Notes Representatives agree that neither the Priority Lien Collateral Agent nor any holder of Priority Lien Obligations will have any duty or obligations first to marshal or realize upon any Other Priority Lien Collateral, or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Other Priority Lien Collateral, in any manner that would maximize the return to the Noteholders, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Noteholders from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.
SECTION 3.5 Discretion in Enforcement of Priority Lien Obligations.
(a) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 3.4, the holders of Priority Lien Obligations and the Priority Lien Representatives may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Noteholders or the Notes Representatives, without incurring responsibility to Notes Creditors and without impairing or releasing the subordination of the Lien in favor of Notes Creditors on the Shared Lien Real Estate Collateral provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Notes Creditors, do any one or more of the following:
(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, the Priority Lien Obligations, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner the Priority Lien Obligations, or any instrument evidencing the Priority Lien Obligations or any agreement under which the Priority Lien Obligations are outstanding;
(2) release any Person or entity liable in any manner for the collection of the Priority Lien Obligations;
15
(3) release the Priority Lien on any Shared Real Estate Collateral; and
(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Fleetwood, any Borrower or any Obligor.
SECTION 3.6 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
(a) If in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the holders of Priority Lien Obligations by an Act of Required Debtholders consent to any order:
(1) for use of cash collateral;
(2) approving a debtor-in-possession financing (a "DIP Financing");
(3) granting any relief on account of Priority Lien Obligations as adequate protection (or its equivalent) for the benefit of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations in the Shared Real Estate Collateral subject to Priority Liens; or
(4) relating to a sale of assets of Fleetwood or any other Obligor that provides, to the extent the assets sold are to be free and clear of Liens, that all Priority Liens and Notes Liens will attach to the proceeds of the sale,
then, the Noteholders and each Notes Representative, will not oppose or otherwise contest the entry of such order, so long as in the case of an order approving a DIP Financing, the DIP Financing is secured by a Lien that is senior to or on a parity with all Priority Liens upon Shared Real Estate Collateral in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, and so long as in all cases under clauses (1) through (4) above, none of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations or any Priority Lien Representative in any respect opposes or otherwise contests any request made by any holder of Notes Obligations or a Notes Representative for the grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Notes Obligations, of a junior Lien upon such Shared Real Estate Collateral on which a Lien is (or is to be) granted under such order to secure the Priority Lien Obligations, co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated (as set forth in Section 3.1) to, such Lien and all Priority Liens on such Shared Real Estate Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this Section 3.6(a) be construed to require any Noteholder or Notes Representative to consent to, or waive the right to contest, any order approving a DIP Financing (x) secured solely by a Lien on the Notes Real Estate Collateral that is permitted by clause (j) of the definition of Permitted Liens or (y) secured by a Lien on the Notes Real Estate Collateral that is permitted by clause (j) of the definition of Permitted Liens and senior to or on a parity with the Liens on the Notes Real Estate Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders.
(b) The Noteholders or any Notes Representative will not file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief), including seeking periodic payments during the pendency of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or seek any liens other than those specifically permitted below based upon their interest in the Shared Real Estate Collateral under the Notes Liens (provided, that in no event shall this clause (b) prevent a motion for adequate protection based solely upon their interest in the Notes Real Estate Collateral Lien that is subject to a Lien permitted by clause (j) of the definition of Permitted Liens) except that:
(1) they may freely seek and obtain relief granting a Junior Lien in respect of their Notes Obligations co-extensive in all respects with, but subordinated on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are otherwise subordinated under Section 3.1 to all Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations on Shared Real Estate Collateral (including, without limitation, any Liens granted to the holders of Priority Lien Obligations or any agent or representative thereof as adequate protection and any "carve-out" agreed to by the holders of Priority Lien Obligations (so
16
long as the Priority Liens are subject to the same "carve-out")) and to all Liens securing DIP Financings; and
(2) from and after the date that any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced, in the event any Obligor, as debtor in possession, or any bankruptcy trustee acting on behalf of any Obligor seeks to sell any Shared Real Estate Collateral under 11 U.S.C. Section 363 free and clear of any Lien securing the Notes Obligations, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall be entitled to seek or request adequate protection in respect of the Notes Obligations in the form of replacement Liens on any other asset of any Obligor other than any asset that is part of the Other Priority Lien Collateral; provided that, in connection with such a request or otherwise, (i) the Priority Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations, is or has been granted a senior replacement Lien on all such assets as security for the Priority Lien Obligations and (ii) any replacement Lien which is or might be granted on such assets securing the Notes Obligations is subordinated in all respects to the Lien on such assets securing the Priority Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Notes Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations hereunder. Any Lien granted to the Collateral Agent in contravention of this Section 3.6(b)(2) shall be deemed subordinated to the Liens of the Priority Lien Collateral Agent and, if the Priority Lien Collateral Agent is not granted a replacement Lien on the same assets, then any proceeds of such assets received by the Collateral Agent, any Notes Representative or any Noteholder at any time prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations will be held by the Collateral Agent, the applicable Notes Representative or the applicable Noteholder for the account of the holders of Priority Lien Obligations and remitted to any Priority Lien Representative upon demand by such Priority Lien Representative.
(3) they may freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition or restriction whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, both before and during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Noteholders and the Notes Representatives may take any actions and exercise any and all rights in respect of any Notes Real Estate Collateral that is subject to a Lien permitted by clause (j) of the definition of Permitted Liens and any and all rights that would be available to a holder of unsecured claims (including, without limitation, the right to commence an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding against Fleetwood or any other Obligor and to propose, support, object to or vote in favor of or against any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding); provided that, by accepting a new note, each Holder of new notes will agree (A) not to take any of the actions described above clauses (1) through (7) of Section 3.2(b) or oppose or contest any order that it has agreed not to oppose or contest under this Section 3.6 and (B) to comply with Sections 3.2(b) and 3.02(c).
SECTION 3.7 Reserved.

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under the Notes Documents on account of the Collateral Agent's and the Notes Representative's fees and any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Agent, the Notes Representative or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Agent or the Notes Representative in connection with any Security Document;
SECOND, in accordance with clauses FIFTH, SIXTH and SEVENTH of Section 4.1(a).

Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by that Notes Representative or that Noteholder, as the case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Priority Lien Obligations and other Obligations secured by a Permitted Lien (other than a Notes Lien or a Junior Lien).
(c) This Section 4.2 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Secured Obligations, each present and future Secured Debt Representative, the Priority Lien Collateral Agent as holder of Priority Liens and the Collateral Agent as Noteholder. The Secured Debt Representative of each future Series of Secured Debt will be required to deliver a Lien Sharing and Priority Confirmation to the Priority Lien Collateral Agent, the
21
Collateral Agent and each other Secured Debt Representative at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.
(d) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 4.2(a), except as otherwise directed by an Act of Required Debtholders, the Collateral Agent may sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.

24
such parcel of the Notes Real Estate Collateral, at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the Priority Lien Collateral Agent's exercise of such access rights. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Notes Real Estate Collateral at differing times, in which case, a differing Notes Real Estate Collateral Access Period may apply to each such property.
