Agent, deliver to the approved title company, the Collateral Agent and/or all other relevant

documents which are substantially similar to the Collateral Documents, in each case, in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required First
13
Lien Creditors;

other counsel with respect to such personal property Collateral in form and substance, and
issued by law firms, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; and

all actions reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority of the Liens securing
the Obligations and any other Liens which secure First Lien Refinancing Debt such that any
other Liens securing First Lien Refinancing Debt shall have the same priority as any
existing Liens securing the Obligations and the priority of the Liens security the
Obligations shall not be affected by the incurrence of the First Lien Refinancing Debt.”

Collateral;

Claimholder, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral
in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off and recoupment) with

the First Lien Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease,
exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or
otherwise;
(2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in
which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or
collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted
in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement,
regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien
Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders; and
17
(3) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees that no
covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents
or any other Subordinated Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to
restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First
Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the
First Lien Documents.
(e) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured
creditors against the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure
the Subordinated Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents
and applicable law; provided that in the event that any Subordinated Lien Claimholder
becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its
rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations, such judgment
Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the
First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject
to this Agreement.
(f) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing in this Agreement
shall prohibit the receipt by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien
Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of
the Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of
the exercise by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights
or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off and recoupment) or enforcement in
contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs
or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First
Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.
SECTION 4. Payments.
4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against the Company or any other Grantor, Collateral or proceeds thereof, received in connection
with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of
remedies, shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such
order as specified in the relevant First Lien Documents. Upon the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee in such order as specified in the Subordinated Lien Documents.
4.2 Payments Over.
18
(a) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other
Grantor, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens
referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
any Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
(including set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement in
all cases, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with
any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First
Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders. This authorization is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.
(b) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other
Grantor, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred
to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any
Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including
set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral not in contravention of this Agreement
shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided,
however that, this Section 4.2(b) shall only be applicable if the exercise of such right or
remedy by the Subordinated Collateral Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder has the effect of
discharging the Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. The First Lien
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsement as agent for the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders. This authorized is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable until he Discharge of First Lien Obligations.
(c) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, if in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders
shall receive any distribution of money or other property in respect of the Collateral, such money
or other property shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with
any necessary endorsement. Any Lien received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or by
Subordinated Lien Claimholders in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement
19
SECTION 5. Other Agreements.
5.1 Releases.
(a) If in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in
respect of the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the
First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases any
Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if
any, of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guaranty of the
Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released.
The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such
Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral
Agent or such Guarantor may request to effectively confirm such release.
(b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any
Collateral by any Grantor (collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of the First
Lien Documents and not expressly prohibited under the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents
(other than in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in
respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a) above), the First Lien
Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of
its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its
guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, in each case other than (A) in connection with the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
“Event of Default” under a Subordinated Lien Document, then the Liens, if any, of the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, on such
Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Subordinated Lien
Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders, promptly
shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor such termination
statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor may
request to effectively confirm such release.
(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee or
such holder or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien
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
20
instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including
any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any
Guarantor from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later
reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens or additional guarantees from any Guarantor, then the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and for the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, shall be
granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this
Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as the case may be.
5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive
right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, to adjust settlement
for any insurance policy covering the 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 Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien 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 to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (including for purposes
of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien
Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Subordinated Lien
Documents to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders to the extent required under the Subordinated Lien Documents, and then, to the extent
no Subordinated Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other
Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
any Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance
policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold
in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with
the terms of Section 4.2.
5.3 Amendments to First Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien Documents.
(a) The First Lien Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance
with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced in whole or in part, in each
case, without notice to, or the consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt (or their
Representative on their behalf) shall bind themselves in a writing for the benefit of the
Subordinated Collateral
21
Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement including by
executing a Lien Priority Confirmation;
(b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Subordinated Lien
Document may be Refinanced, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the
extent such Refinancing, amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new
Subordinated Lien Document, would:
(1) increase the principal amount of the Subordinated Lien Debt in excess of the
amount permitted under any First Lien Document;
(2) increase the fees, the interest rate or yield provisions or otherwise effectuate
an increase in yield applicable to the Indebtedness incurred under such Subordinated Lien
Documents (including by way of any side letters, agreements or arrangements under which any
of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are paid a fee whether in the form of cash or
interest) by more than 3% per annum (including increases in yield or rate arising from any
changes from a floating interest rate obligation to a fixed rate obligation but excluding
increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate);
(3) except as permitted by Section 5.3(b)(2), increase materially the obligations of
the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional material rights on any Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, or a representative on their behalf, which would be adverse to the Company,
any Grantor or any First Lien Claimholder, it being understood that amendments or
Refinancings providing for increases in the principal amount of Subordinated Lien Debt to
provide for new money Indebtedness shall not be restricted by this clause (3);
(4) affect the Lien subordination, Lien priorities or other provisions of this
Agreement; or
(5) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or of the First Lien Documents.
The Subordinated Lien Debt may be Refinanced to the extent the terms and conditions of such
Refinancing debt meet the requirements of this Section 5.3(b) and clauses (a), (b) and (c) of, and
the provisos to, the definition of “Subordinated Lien Debt” set forth in the First Lien Credit
Agreement, and the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing for the benefit of
the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement, by
executing a Lien Priority Confirmation.
(c) Company agrees that each Subordinated Lien Document shall include the following language
(or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):
22
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and
security interest granted to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy
by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to
the provisions of the First and Subordinated Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, dated as of [______], 2010 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Intercreditor Agreement”), among Coffeyville Resources, LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company, Wilmington Trust FSB, as First
Lien Collateral Agent, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, 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 Intercreditor Agreement and this
Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern
and control.”
In addition, the Company agrees that such Subordinated Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral
shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to
reflect the subordination of such Subordinated Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document
covering such Collateral.
(d) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the
relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien
Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to
any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner
the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, Company or any other
Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any
comparable provision of the Comparable Subordinated Lien Collateral Document without the consent of
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and without any action by
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, Company or any other Grantor, provided that:
(i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of: (A)
removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Subordinated Lien
Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or
required by Section 5.1; provided that, there is a corresponding release of
such Lien securing the First Lien Obligations; (B) imposing duties on the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee without its consent; (C) permitting other Liens on
Subordinated Lien Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Subordinated Lien
Documents or Section 6; or (D) being prejudicial to the interests of the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the First Lien
Claimholders; and
23
(ii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee within ten (10) Business Days after the effective
date of such amendment, waiver or consent.
5.4 Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the 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 Collateral
being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as
gratuitous bailee for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee (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 solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the
First Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.4. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control
(within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien
Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral
Agent as its agent solely for perfection of the Subordinated Collateral Agent’s Lien in such
deposit accounts, and the First Lien Collateral Agent accepts such appointment.
(b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien
Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder to ensure
that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or
benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or
responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely
to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in
accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First
Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.
(c) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral
Documents, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a
fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the First Lien Collateral Agent from all
claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s role under this
Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Collateral. It is
understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee may differ and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to act in
its own interest without taking into account the interests of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
or Subordinated Lien Claimholders.
24
(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Documents to which the
First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining
Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such
endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first,
to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to the extent Subordinated Lien Obligations remain
outstanding, and second, to the Company to the extent no First Lien Obligations or
Subordinated Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to
obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The First Lien Collateral Agent further
agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at the
expense of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Company in connection with the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
5.5 Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time
after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company thereafter enters into any
Refinancing of any First Lien Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is
permitted by the Subordinated Lien Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien 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 First Lien
Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice is delivered to
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under
such Refinancing of the First Lien Documents shall automatically be treated as First Lien
Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and
rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such
First Lien Documents shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement.
Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered
into a new First Lien Document (and incurred additional First Lien Debt) (which notice shall
include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements
(including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall
reasonably request in order to provide to the New 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 Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise
allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a
writing addressed to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First
Lien Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also
secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations, then the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall be secured
at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the
Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.
25
5.6 Additional Secured Debt.
(a) The Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of First Lien
Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, hereunder each Person who is, or who
becomes, the holder of First Lien Debt or the holder of Subordinated Lien Debt, as applicable,
incurred by the Company or such other Grantor in accordance with the respective definitions of
First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be, contained herein as additional First
Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt hereunder, respectively. The Company may effect such
designation by delivering to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee each of the following:
(i) an Officer’s Certificate describing in reasonable detail the respective
First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) and stating
that the Company or such other Grantor has incurred or intends to incur such
obligations as additional Secured Debt which will either be (i) First Lien Debt
permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a First Lien or
(ii) Subordinated Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to
be secured with a second or third priority lien, as applicable; and
(ii) a written notice specifying the name and address of the Representative
for such First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as applicable, for purposes of
Section 8.8.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, but in no way limiting Section 2.3, nothing in this Agreement
will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or
grant additional Liens unless in each case otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable
Secured Debt Documents.
(b) With respect to any First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt incurred after the date of
this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to take such actions (if any) (including, without
limitation, any acknowledgements by the Company or any of the other Guarantors of guarantees or
security that are applicable to First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be) as
may from time to time reasonably be requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or
supplements to the then existing guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien
Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional guarantees, First Lien Collateral
Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably
requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, to ensure that
the relevant additional First Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as the case may
be, are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant guarantees, First Lien Collateral
Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable, and each additional holder of
First Lien Obligations and each additional holder of Subordinated Lien Obligations (by its
26
acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the First Lien Collateral
Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments,
modifications and/or supplements (and additional guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and
Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable). The Company and each Grantor hereby
further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection
with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 5.6(b), all such amounts shall be paid
by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective Grantors, on a joint and
several basis.
SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral”
(as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien
Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of
the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will
raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing and to the extent the Liens
securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing
such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection
or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the First Lien
Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that, the
aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of
First Lien Obligations consisting of Indebtedness for borrowed money (and expressly excluding
Hedging Obligations) plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and not
reimbursed under the First Lien Credit Agreement does not exceed the Cap Amount plus
$150,000,000 in the aggregate.
6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from
the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the
Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, unless a motion
for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.
6.3 Adequate Protection.
(a) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):
27
(1) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for
adequate protection; or
(2) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to
any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the
First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding:
(1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use
or DIP Financing, then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself or any of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, 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 First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all
Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the
Subordinated Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this
Agreement; and
(2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall only
be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral;
provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First
Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior
Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral;
provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First
Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior
replacement Liens on the Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided
that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense
claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders; and (D) cash payments with
respect to interest on the Subordinated Lien Obligations; provided either (1) as
adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to
interest on the First Lien Obligations, or (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount
equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of applicable Subordinated Lien
Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the
applicable Subordinated Lien Documents and accruing from the date the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee is granted such relief. If any Subordinated Lien Secured Party receives
Post Petition Interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding (“Subordinated Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien
Claimholders do not
28
receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness
of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, then, each Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall pay over to the First Lien
Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Subordinated
Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Subordinated Lien Claimholders and (ii)
the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien
Obligations; provided that, to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents
payments received by the First Lien 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
First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those
promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in
respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee for the benefit of
the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien 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 Subordinated Lien Claimholders made
pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).
(c) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the other Subordinated
Lien Claimholders, 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 Subordinated Collateral
Trustee 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee at least fifteen (15) days in advance of such hearing.
6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing contained herein shall
prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from
objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including the seeking
by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of adequate protection
or the asserting by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of
any of its rights and remedies under the Subordinated Lien Documents or otherwise.
6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or
any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such
First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect
to all such recovered amounts, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not the 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.
29
6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor
are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan,
both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Subordinated Lien Obligations, then, to
the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account
of the Subordinated Lien 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.
6.7 Post Petition Interest
(a) Neither the Subordinated Collateral Trustee nor any Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall
oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien
Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations
consisting of Post Petition Interest to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s
Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee on behalf
of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.
(b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose
or seek to challenge any claim by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien
Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Subordinated Lien
Obligations consisting of Post Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral
(after taking into account the value of the First Lien Obligations).
6.8 Waiver. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien
Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien 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 connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding.
6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Subordinated Lien Claimholder, and the First
Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, acknowledges and
agrees that
(a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Subordinated Lien
Collateral Documents and any Secured Debt Documents which grant a Third Lien on the Collateral
constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens; and
(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Subordinated
Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First
30
Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or
adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence,
if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders
in respect of the 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, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate
classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with
the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for
this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders), the First Lien
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 First Lien Credit Agreement,
arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by any
Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and
agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First
Lien Claimholders, Collateral or proceeds of 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 Subordinated Lien Claimholders).
SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.
7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders under its First Lien
Documents, acknowledges that it and such First Lien Claimholders have, independently and without

Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Collateral
Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien
Claimholders shall have no duty to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated

occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company
or any other Grantor (including the First Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien 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 First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of them to
enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or any other Grantor
or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent,
or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement,
any of the First Lien Documents or any of the Subordinated Lien Documents, regardless of any
knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the
rights of the Company and the other Grantors under the First Lien Documents), the First Lien
Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to
time in accordance with the First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or

the First Lien Collateral Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:
(i) the First Lien Documents (other than this Agreement);

Lien 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 First Lien Obligations or

increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any
First Lien Document or any Subordinated Lien Document;

interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification,
whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien
Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations or any guaranty thereof;
(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or
any other Grantor; or

First Lien Obligations, any First Lien Claimholder, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, the
Subordinated Lien Obligations or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.

shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing
agreement of lien subordination and the First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and

to the Subordinated Lien Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend
monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Grantor constituting First Lien Obligations in
reliance hereof. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this
Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive,
and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not
invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the First Lien Collateral
Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party

Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to advise the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such
condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or
any of the First Lien Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from
time to time to provide any such information to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any
Subordinated Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:

Collateral Trustee pays over to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders
under the terms of this Agreement, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the
First Lien Claimholders; provided that, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of

First Lien Obligations has occurred. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the value of any
payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent
or the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Subordinated
Lien Obligations.

part of the First Lien Obligations provided for in the First Lien Documents. The Subordinated

extension or postponement of the time of payment of the First Lien Obligations or any part thereof
and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, (ii) to any substitution, exchange or release of
