(2) each Pari Passu Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights the Pari Passu Secured Parties and Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, may at any time have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral if such enforcement or collection is undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Pari Passu Secured Parties on the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties; and

(3) each Pari Passu Representative and each Subordinated Lien Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Pari Passu Loan Document or Subordinated Loan Document relating to its Series shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any

Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder with respect to the enforcement of the Liens on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Loan Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(d), 5.5 and Article VIII, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Borrower or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, and the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Pari Passu Loan Documents or Subordinated Loan Documents, as the case may be, and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Pari Passu Secured Party or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Pari Passu Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral) as the other Liens securing the Pari Passu Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Pari Passu Secured Party or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of its Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise or enforcement by any Pari Passu Secured Party or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

(x) any of the Revolving Credit Agents may exercise the rights provided for in Section 5.3 (with respect to any Access Period) and Section 5.4 and may exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which any Revolving Credit Agent first declared the existence of any Revolving Credit Default and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Revolving Credit Secured Obligations; and (ii) the date on which each Pari Passu Representative received notice from any Revolving Credit Agent of such declarations of a Revolving Credit Default and of such demand for payment (the “Revolving Credit Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies (other than those under Section 5.3) with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Revolving Credit Standstill Period, any Pari Passu Secured Party shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Pari Passu Priority Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Revolving Credit Agents); and

(y) the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of such rights or remedies against the Collateral after the passage of a period of at least 360 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which any Subordinated Lien Representative first declared the existence of a Subordinated Lien Default, and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of the related Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations; and (ii) the date on which each Pari Passu Representative and each Revolving Credit Agent received notice from any Subordinated Lien Representative of such declaration of a Subordinated Lien Default and of such demand for payment (the “Subordinated Lien Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Subordinated Lien Standstill Period, either (A) the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any other Pari Passu Secured Party or (B) the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Subordinated Lien Representatives);

(2) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any Pari Passu Secured Party or any other exercise by any Pari Passu

Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, whether under the Pari Passu Loan Documents or otherwise; and

(3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above and except as may be permitted in Section 5.2(c), will not object to the forbearance by the Pari Passu Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement;

provided that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (1), (2) and (3) above, the Liens (if any) granted to secure the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations shall attach to any proceeds resulting from actions taken by any Pari Passu Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement after giving effect to any application of such proceeds to the Pari Passu Secured Obligations.

(b) Until the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, the Pari Passu Secured Parties shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right of the Pari Passu Representatives to credit bid the debt under the related Series of Pari Passu Debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder or any Subordinated Lien Representative or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party; provided, however, that the Lien (if any) securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations shall remain on the proceeds (other than those properly applied to the Pari Passu Secured Obligations) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the other Pari Passu Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Pari Passu Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the Pari Passu 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 or the PPSA (or any similar or equivalent legislation of any other applicable jurisdiction outside the United States) and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any of the Revolving Credit Secured Parties and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties may:

(1) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor;

(2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Pari Passu Priority Collateral securing the Pari Passu Secured Obligations (giving effect to this Agreement), or the rights of any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties to exercise rights or remedies in respect thereof (it being understood that any objection to a

sale of Pari Passu Priority Collateral by any Grantor that is not objected to by any Pari Passu Representative, or any objection to any related sale process (including any sale or bidding procedures motion), shall be deemed to be adverse to the priority status of the Liens on Pari Passu Priority Collateral) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on any of the Collateral, including, in the case of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, exercising rights solely with respect to Revolving Credit Priority Collateral pursuant to rights provided under landlord waivers or bailee’s letters or similar agreements or arrangements;

(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 Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, including any claims secured by the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(4) file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under any Revolving Credit Loan Document, any Subordinated Lien Loan Document, Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(5) vote on any plan of reorganization, 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 Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations and/or in the case of the Revolving Credit Secured Parties, the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral;

(6) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral after the termination of the Revolving Credit Standstill Period or the Subordinated Lien Standstill Period, as applicable, to the extent permitted by Section 5.2(a)(1); and

(7) make a cash bid on all or any portion of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral in any foreclosure proceeding or action.

Each Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, agrees that it will not (i) take or receive any Pari Passu Priority Collateral or any proceeds of such Pari Passu Priority Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any such Pari Passu Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement or (ii) in or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, take any action with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral or the validity or enforceability of any of the Pari Passu Loan Documents or any of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations thereunder, including by filing any pleadings or motions or taking any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, that in each case (x) violates, or is prohibited by, Article VIII (or, in the absence of an Insolvency or Liquidations Proceeding, otherwise

would violate or be prohibited by this Agreement), (y) asserts any right, benefit or privilege that arises in favor of the Revolving Credit Agents, any Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Subordinated Lien Representative or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party, in whole or in part, as a result of their interest in the Pari Passu Priority Collateral or in their respective Liens on the Pari Passu Priority Collateral (unless the assertion of such right is expressly permitted by this Agreement, it being understood that this clause (y) shall not restrict the right of any Pari Passu Secured Party or Subordinated Lien Secured Party to seek the payment of post-petition interest in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) or (z) relates in any way to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the Pari Passu Representative or any other Pari Passu Secured Party (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 5.2(a), 5.3, 8.3(c)(2) and this Section 5.2(c), the sole right of the Revolving Credit Agents, the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Subordinated Lien Representatives and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien (if any) on such Pari Passu Priority Collateral pursuant to the respective Revolving Credit Loan Documents and Subordinated Lien Loan 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 Pari Passu Secured Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(c), 5.3 and 8.3(c)(2):

(1) each Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the Pari Passu Loan Documents (other than, in the case of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, with respect to Revolving Credit Priority Collateral) or under the Pari Passu Loan Documents with respect to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(2) each Revolving Credit Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights such Revolving Credit Agent, the respective other Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Subordinated Lien Representatives, and the respective Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, may at any time have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any Pari Passu Secured Party seeks to enforce or collect the Pari Passu Secured Obligations or the Liens securing the Pari Passu Priority Collateral if such enforcement or collection is undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Pari Passu Secured Party is adverse to the interest of the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties; and

(3) each Revolving Credit Agent and Subordinated Lien Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or

restriction contained in any Revolving Credit Loan Document or Subordinated Lien Loan Document relating to its Series shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any Pari Passu Secured Party with respect to the enforcement of its Liens on the Pari Passu Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Pari Passu Loan Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(d) and 5.5 and Article VIII, the Revolving Credit Agents, the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Subordinated Lien Representatives, and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Borrower or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, respectively and the Revolving Credit Agents, the other Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Subordinated Lien Representatives, and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Loan Documents or the Subordinated Loan Documents (as the case may be) and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Revolving Credit Agent, any other Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Subordinated Lien Representative or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party, becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Pari Passu Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Pari Passu Priority Collateral) as the other Liens securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Revolving Credit Agent, any other Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Subordinated Lien Representative or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party, of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Revolving Credit Agent, any other Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Subordinated Lien Representative, or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral (including set-off) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects, as between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Revolving Credit Claimholders and Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, on the other hand, any rights or remedies the Revolving Credit Claimholders and Subordinated Lien Secured Parties may have against the Grantors under the Revolving Credit Loan Documents and the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, as the case may be.

5.3 Exercise of Remedies — Collateral Access Rights.

(a) The Revolving Credit Agents and Pari Passu Representatives agree not to commence Enforcement until the earlier of (i) the date on which an Enforcement Notice has been given to each Pari Passu Representative by any Revolving Credit Agent or to any Revolving Credit Agent by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and (ii) the date on which any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced by or against any Grantor. Subject to the

provisions of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above, any of the Revolving Credit Agents, any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties and any of the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, join in any judicial proceedings commenced by the other Person to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that no such Revolving Credit Claimholder, Pari Passu Secured Party or Subordinated Lien Secured Party shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party or its agent or representative has the benefit of the priority Lien in accordance herewith.

(b) If any of the Pari Passu Secured Parties or Subordinated Lien Secured Parties or any of their respective agents or representatives, or any third party pursuant to any Enforcement undertaken by any Pari Passu Secured Parties or Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as applicable, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Agents of that fact and the Revolving Credit Agents shall, within 10 Business Days thereafter, notify the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and, if applicable, any such third party (at such address to be provided by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the applicable Enforcement), as to whether the Revolving Credit Agents desire to exercise access rights under this Agreement, at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the Revolving Credit Agents’ exercise of such access rights. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises at differing times (i.e., the Revolving Credit Agents may obtain possession of one plant at a different time than it obtains possession of other properties), in which case, a differing Access Period may apply to each such property.

(c) Upon delivery of notice to the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent and Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, as provided in Section 5.3(b), the Access Period shall commence for the subject parcel of Mortgaged Premises. During the Access Period, the Revolving Credit Agents and their respective agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent free right to use, Pari Passu Priority Collateral for the purpose of arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such Revolving Credit Priority Collateral for sale or disposition. During any such Access Period, the Revolving Credit Agents and their respective agents, representatives and designees, may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral. Each Revolving Credit Agent shall take proper care of any Pari Passu Priority Collateral that is used by it during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by it or its agents, representatives or designees and comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral. The Revolving Credit Agents and the other Revolving Credit Claimholders shall indemnify and hold harmless the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties for any injury or damage to Persons or property caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under the control of, or retained by, any of the Revolving Credit Agents or any other Revolving Credit Claimholders. The Revolving Credit Agents, the Pari Passu Representatives and the Subordinated Lien Representatives shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as

described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent to commence foreclosure of the Pari Passu Mortgages or to show the Pari Passu Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Pari Passu Priority Collateral for sale.

(d) If any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or otherwise comes into force which prohibits the Revolving Credit Agents from exercising any of their rights hereunder, then at the Revolving Credit Agents’ option, the Access Period granted under this Section 5.3 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 5.3. If the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall foreclose or otherwise sell any of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, such Person will notify the buyer thereof of the existence of this Agreement and that the buyer is acquiring such Pari Passu Priority Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Grantors hereby agree with the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent and any Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent that the Revolving Credit Agents shall have access, during the Access Period, as described herein and each such Grantor that owns any of the Mortgaged Premises grants a non-exclusive easement in gross over its property to permit the uses by Revolving Credit Agents, contemplated by this Section 5.3. Each Pari Passu Representative consents to such easement.

5.4 Exercise of Remedies — Intellectual Property Rights/Access to Information/Use of Equipment.

(a) Each Pari Passu Representative and each Subordinated Lien Representative hereby grants (to the full extent of its rights and interests) to each Revolving Credit Agent and its agents, representatives and designees a royalty free, rent free license and lease to use all of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral (exclusive of Intellectual Property but including any computer or other data processing Equipment), to collect all Accounts or amounts owing under Instruments or Chattel Paper, to copy, use or preserve any and all information relating to any of the Collateral, and to complete the manufacture, packaging and sale of Inventory; provided, however, that the royalty free, rent free license and lease granted in clause (a) with respect to Equipment shall immediately expire upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of such Equipment; provided, further, that the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall provide the Revolving Credit Agent with at least ten (10) days’ notice prior to such sale, lease, transfer or disposition.

(b) Each Pari Passu Representative and each Subordinated Lien Representative hereby grants (to the full extent of its rights and interests) each Revolving Credit Agent and its agents, representatives and designees, solely during the Enforcement Period, (i) a nonexclusive, royalty free, worldwide license or sublicense (subject to the terms of the underlying license) (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of the Intellectual Property) to use all of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral constituting Intellectual Property solely to the extent necessary to collect all Accounts or amounts owing under Instruments or Chattel Paper and to complete the manufacture, packaging and sale of Inventory and (ii) a nonexclusive, royalty free, worldwide license or sublicense (subject to the terms of the underlying license) (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of the Intellectual Property) to use any and all Pari Passu Priority Collateral constituting Intellectual Property in connection with its Enforcement; provided, however, that each Revolving

Credit Agent, during the term of the above licenses, shall use any Trademarks of such licensed Intellectual Property solely in connection with (x) goods or services which the Revolving Credit Agents in good faith reasonably believe to be in all material respects of at least the same level of quality offered by, and in a manner in which the Revolving Credit Agents in good faith reasonably believe to be in all material respects consistent with the practices of, the relevant Grantors as of the date of the Enforcement Notice or (y) the disposition of damaged, obsolete or second-quality goods which dispositions the Revolving Credit Agents in good faith reasonably believe will not materially diminish the distinctiveness and quality characteristics associated with such Intellectual Property or the validity thereof (it being understood and agreed that each Revolving Credit Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall comply in all material respects with all laws pertaining to its use of Intellectual Property described hereunder, including notice requirements).

5.5 Exercise of Remedies — Set Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. Each Pari Passu Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Pari Passu Secured Parties, and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent any such Person exercises its rights of set-off against any Grantors’ Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts or other assets, the amount of such set-off shall be deemed to be the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral to be held and distributed pursuant to Section 6.1; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any set-off by any such Person against any Pari Passu Priority Collateral (including proceeds thereof and amounts in any Net Cash Proceeds Accounts) to the extent applied to payment of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations. Each Pari Passu Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Pari Passu Secured Parties and each Subordinated Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, agrees that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice all funds deposited under Account Agreements (excluding funds in Net Cash Proceeds Accounts) and then applied to the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations shall be treated as Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and, unless any Revolving Credit Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, any claim that payments made to any Revolving Credit Agent through the bank accounts that are subject to Account Agreements (other than Account Agreements with respect to Net Cash Proceeds Accounts) are proceeds of or otherwise constitute Pari Passu Priority Collateral, are waived. Prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, any proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under Account Agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property (excluding property held pursuant to an Account Agreement) that is Collateral shall not (as among the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit Claimholders) be treated as proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. After an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall cooperate in good faith to identify the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, as the case may be (it being agreed that after an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, unless any Revolving Credit Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, all funds deposited under Account Agreements (other than funds deposited in Net Cash Proceeds Accounts) and then applied to the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations shall be presumed to be Revolving Credit Priority Collateral (a presumption that can be rebutted by the Pari Passu Secured Parties); provided, however, that no Pari Passu Secured Party, Revolving Credit Claimholder or Subordinated Lien Secured Party shall be liable or in any way responsible for any claims or damages from conversion of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral or Pari Passu

Priority Collateral, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that (i) the only obligation of any Revolving Credit Agent or other Revolving Credit Claimholder is to pay over to the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, all proceeds that such Revolving Credit Agent or other Revolving Credit Claimholder received that have been identified as proceeds of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral and, until such time, such proceeds will be held in trust for the Pari Passu Secured Parties or the Subordinated Lien Secured parties, as the case may be, (ii) the only obligation of any Pari Passu Secured Party is to pay over to the Revolving Credit Agents or the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, all proceeds that such Pari Passu Secured Party received that have been identified as proceeds of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and (iii) the only obligation of any Subordinated Lien Secured Party is to pay over to the Revolving Credit Agents or the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, all proceeds that such Subordinated Lien Secured Party received that have been identified as proceeds of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral or the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, as the case may be, and, in each case in (i), (ii) and (iii), after both the Discharge of the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has occurred and the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has occurred, then as provided in Section 6.1(d)). Any Revolving Credit Agent, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may request from the other an accounting of the identification of the proceeds of Collateral (and the Revolving Credit Agents, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon which such request is made shall deliver such accounting reasonably promptly after such request is made) and, until such time, such proceeds will be held in trust for the Revolving Credit Agents, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable.

any Revolving Credit Agent, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent or any other Claimholder in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust for and on behalf of and forthwith paid over to the Revolving Credit Agents or the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, as appropriate, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Each of the foregoing authorizations is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until both the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations have occurred.

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Pari Passu Collateral Agents or any other Pari Passu Representative in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, or any other Pari Passu Security Document or any of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of their agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Pari Passu Collateral Agents or any other Pari Passu Representative, as applicable, hereunder or under any other Pari Passu Security Document on behalf of Grantors and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Pari Passu Security Document;

SECOND, subject to Section 1.3(a), to the payment of all other Pari Passu Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed pro rata among the Pari Passu Secured Parties in accordance with the amounts of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, after payment in full of all Pari Passu Secured Obligations, (i) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, (ii) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has then occurred but the Discharge of Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent and (iii) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Discharge of Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations has each occurred, to the Grantors or their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Common Pari Passu Collateral for which a third party (other than a Pari Passu Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Pari Passu Secured Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Pari Passu Secured Obligations (such third party a “Pari Passu Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Common Collateral or Pari Passu Collateral Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Pari Passu Collateral Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Pari Passu Secured Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

All amounts received by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent from proceeds of Collateral that do not constitute Common Pari Passu Collateral (and which the Pari Passu Secured Creditors are entitled to retain) will be applied (after deduction of amounts payable under clause FIRST, above) pro rata among the Pari Passu Secured Parties with Pari Passu Secured Obligations secured by a Lien on such Collateral in accordance with the amounts of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution (subject to adjustments for Pari Passu Intervening Creditor payments as provided above).

(b) Anything contained herein or in any of the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.3(b) of this Agreement), if a Subordinated Lien Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Common Subordinated Lien Collateral, or the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent receives any proceeds of any Common Pari Passu Collateral from any Revolving Credit Claimholder or any Pari Passu Secured Party or any distribution is made in respect of any Common Subordinated Lien Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor, or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party receives any payment with respect to any Common Subordinated Lien Collateral, in each case to the extent the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties are entitled to retain such proceeds, distribution or payment under the terms of this Agreement, then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Collateral by any Subordinated Lien Secured Party or received by any Subordinated Lien Representative or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party with respect to such Common Subordinated Lien Collateral and proceeds of any

such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations are entitled under any agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as "Subordinated Lien Collateral Proceeds”), shall be applied as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agents or any other Subordinated Lien Representative in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, or any other Subordinated Lien Security Document or any of the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of their agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agents or any other Subordinated Lien Representative, as applicable, hereunder or under any other Subordinated Lien Security Document on behalf of Grantors and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Subordinated Lien Security Document;

SECOND, subject to Section 1.3(b), to the payment of all other Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed pro rata among the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties in accordance with the amounts of the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, after payment in full of all Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations:

(i) if such proceeds constitute proceeds of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, and (A) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to Revolving Credit Collateral Agent, (B) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has then occurred but the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to the Authorized Pari Passu Lien Collateral Agent and (C) if the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has each occurred, to the Grantors or their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; and

(ii) if such proceeds constitute proceeds of Pari Passu Priority Collateral, and (A) if the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, (B) if the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has then occurred but the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has not then occurred, to the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent and (C) if the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has each occurred, to the Grantors or their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Common Subordinated Lien Collateral for which a third party (other than a Subordinated Lien Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations (such third party a “Subordinated Lien Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Common Collateral or Subordinated Lien Collateral Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Subordinated Lien Collateral Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

All amounts received by the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent from proceeds of Collateral that do not constitute Common Subordinated Lien Collateral (and which the Subordinated Lien Creditors are entitled to retain) will be applied (after deduction of amounts payable under clause FIRST, above), pro rata among the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties with Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations secured by a Lien on such Collateral in accordance with the amounts of the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution (subject to adjustments for Subordinated Lien Intervening Creditor payments as provided above).

(c) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement (i) all payments received by any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations to the extent provided for herein and in the Revolving Credit Loan Documents; and (ii) all payments received by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any Pari Passu Secured Party may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the Pari Passu Secured Obligations to the extent provided for herein and in the Pari Passu Loan Documents.

respectively, and the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.4. To the extent a junior pledge of or junior lien on any Pari Passu Priority Collateral is prohibited or unenforceable under the law of any applicable jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to hold any such Pari Passu Priority Collateral, as sub-agent for the Revolving Credit Agents, for the benefit of the Revolving Lien Claimholders, and for the Subordinated Lien Collateral Agents (for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties), solely for the purpose of the creation and/or perfection of Liens in such Pari Passu Priority Collateral to secure the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.4, it being expressly understood and agreed that the claims of the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties in respect of such Pari Passu Priority Collateral shall be subordinated to the claims of the Senior Secured Parties in respect of such Pari Passu Priority Collateral on the same basis as the Liens on the other Pari Passu Priority Collateral securing any Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, respectively, are subordinated to the Liens on such other Pari Passu Priority Collateral securing any Pari Passu Secured Obligations, and nothing in this Section 7.4 shall affect the status of such Collateral as Pari Passu Priority Collateral.

In addition, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent is hereby appointed by the Revolving Credit Agent and by the Subordinated Lien Representatives as agent for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, respectively, for the purpose of holding the Collateral subject to the Italian Pledge Agreements, the Korea Share Pledge Agreements, Swiss Stock and IP Agreements, the Security Transfer Agreement, the German Pari Passu Non-Accessory Security Documents and any other Security Document that grants a Lien on Pari Passu Primary Collateral in favor of a Pari Passu Collateral Agent to secure any Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, on behalf of the Pari Passu Secured Parties, the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties (but only, in case of the Revolving Credit Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, to the extent the grant in such Collateral secures the related Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be), it being understood that the Collateral subject to the Italian Pledge Agreements, the Korea Share Pledge Agreements, the Swiss Stock and IP Agreements, the Security Transfer Agreement and the German Pari Passu Non-Accessory Security Documents constitutes Pari Passu Priority Collateral.

In the event the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent becomes subject to liability, or suffers any costs, damages or expenses as a result of acting in any such capacity for the Revolving Credit Agents or Revolving Credit Claimholders or for the Subordinated Lien Representatives or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, (i) the Grantors shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses subject to any limitations contained in the Pari Passu Security Document to the extent applicable and (ii) in the event the Grantors fail to so pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent, the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent for any such liabilities,

costs, damages or expenses suffered by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent as a result of acting in such capacity for the benefit of such Persons.

To the extent a junior pledge of or junior lien on any Revolving Credit Priority Collateral is prohibited or unenforceable under the law of any applicable jurisdiction outside of the United States, any applicable Revolving Credit Agent may, in its sole discretion, hold any such Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, as sub-agent for the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties solely for the purpose of the creation and/or perfection of Liens in such Revolving Credit Priority Collateral to secure the Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 7.4, it being expressly understood and agreed that the claims of the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties in respect of such Pledged Collateral shall be subordinated to the claims of the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of such Revolving Credit Priority Collateral on the same basis as the Liens on the other Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing any Pari Passu Secured Obligations or any Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, are subordinated to the Liens on such other Revolving Credit Priority Collateral securing any Revolving Obligations, and nothing in this Section 7.4 shall affect the status of such Collateral as Revolving Credit Priority Collateral.

In addition, the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent is hereby appointed by the Pari Passu Representatives and the Subordinated Lien Representatives as agent for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, respectively, for the purpose of holding the Collateral subject to the Swiss Security Agreement, the German Revolving Credit Non-Accessory Security Documents, the Madeira Assignment of Credits Agreement and any other Security Document that grants, in favor of the Revolving Credit Collateral Agent to secure any Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties (but only, in case of the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, to the extent the grant in such Collateral secures the related Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be), it being understood that the Collateral subject to the Swiss Security Agreement, the German Revolving Credit Non-Accessory Security Documents and the Madeira Assignment of Credits constitutes Revolving Credit Priority Collateral.

In the event any Revolving Credit Agent becomes subject to liability, or suffers any costs, damages or expenses as a result of acting in any such capacity for the Pari Passu Secured Parties or for the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, (i) the Grantors shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Agents for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses subject to the limitations set forth in the Revolving Credit Agreement to the extent applicable and (ii) in the event the Grantors fail to so pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Agents, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Agents for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses suffered by any Revolving Credit Agent as a result of acting in such capacity for the benefit of such Persons.

(b) No Person shall have any obligation whatsoever to any other Person to ensure that the Pledged Collateral (or any other Collateral held by any Pari Passu Collateral

Agent for the Revolving Credit Secured Parties or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, or by the Revolving Credit Agents for the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties) 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 7.4. The duties or responsibilities under this Section 7.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral (or such other Collateral held as provided in clause (a) above) as sub-agent and/or bailee, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 7.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or Discharge of Pari Passu Collateral Secured Obligations, as the case may be, as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) No Person acting pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall have by reason of the Revolving Credit Loan Documents, the Pari Passu Loan Documents, the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship with any other Person with respect to such acts.

(d) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations the Revolving Credit Agents shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) in their possession or control (or in the possession or control of their agents), together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent to the extent the Pari Passu Secured Obligations which are secured by such Pledged Collateral remain outstanding, second to the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent to the extent the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations which are secured by such Pledged Collateral remain outstanding and third, to the applicable Grantor (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). Each Revolving Credit Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in connection with the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent or Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(e) Upon the Discharge of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents), together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Revolving Credit Agents to the extent any Revolving Credit Secured Obligations which are secured by such Pledged Collateral remain outstanding, second to the Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent to the extent the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations which are secured by such Pledged Collateral remain outstanding and third, to the applicable Grantor (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by any Revolving Credit Agent or Authorized Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in connection with such Revolving Credit Agent or Subordinated Lien Collateral Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(f) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) so long as the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations has not occurred, each Revolving Credit Agent shall be entitled to deal with any Pledged Collateral and any other Collateral within its “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Revolving

Credit Loan Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, as if the Liens (if any) of the Pari Passu Representatives and Subordinated Lien Representatives did not exist and (ii) so long as the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations has not occurred, the Authorized Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with any Pledged Collateral and any other Collateral within its “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Pari Passu Loan Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Pari Passu Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the Revolving Credit Agents and Subordinated Lien Representatives did not exist.

7.5 Additional Secured Debt.

(a) The Parent Borrower will be permitted to designate additional Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, incurred by any Grantor after the date of this Agreement permitted by the terms of all applicable Revolving Credit Loan Documents, Pari Passu Loan Documents or Subordinated Lien Loan Documents (collectively, the “Secured Debt Loan Documents”). The Borrower may effect such designation by delivering to each Revolving Credit Agent, each Pari Passu Representative and each Subordinated Lien Representative an Additional Secured Debt Designation stating that:

(i) such Grantor intends to incur additional secured debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) which will be one of the following: (x) Revolving Credit Secured Obligations permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Loan Document to be secured by the Collateral, including Liens on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral entitled to priority over the Liens securing the Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations (provided, there may only be one series of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations outstanding at any time), (y) Pari Passu Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Loan Document to be secured by the Collateral (to the extent provided in the documentation for such Additional Secured Debt), including a Lien on the Pari Passu Priority Collateral (to the extent provided in the documentation for such Additional Secured Debt) entitled to priority over the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations (Equally and Ratably with all previously existing and future Pari Passu Debt); it being acknowledged that Revolving Credit Secured Obligations may be Refinanced as Pari Passu Secured Obligations if so designated pursuant to this Section 7.5, and (z) Subordinated Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Loan Document to be secured by the Collateral (to the extent provided in the documentation for such Additional Secured Debt), subject to the senior Liens securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Pari Passu Secured Obligations (Equally and Ratably with all previously existing and future Subordinated Lien Debt);

(ii) specifying the name and address of the Revolving Credit Agent or Secured Debt Representative for such series of Additional Secured Debt for purposes of Section 11.9; and

(iii) attaching complete copies (or substantially final drafts) of the material operative agreements constituting Revolving Credit Loan Documents, Pari Passu

Loan Documents or Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, as the case may be, relating to such Additional Secured Debt.

Although the Parent Borrower shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Secured Debt Designation to each then existing Revolving Credit Agent and Secured Debt Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation to any then existing Revolving Credit Agents and Secured Debt Representatives shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Secured Debt if the other requirements of this Section 7.5 are complied with. Each Revolving Credit Agent and Secured Debt Representative shall have the right to request that the Parent Borrower provide a legal opinion (in form and substance customary in the jurisdiction(s) covered by such opinions at such time, and subject to customary qualifications and assumptions, which opinion may be a copy of a legal opinion of counsel provided to the holders of Additional Secured Debt or their Secured Debt Representatives) as to the Additional Secured Debt being secured by a valid and perfected security interest (which legal opinion may be provided by internal counsel to the extent the holders of Additional Secured Debt or their Secured Debt Representatives relied on an opinion of internal counsel on such matters); provided, however, that such legal opinion or opinions need not address any collateral of a type or located in a jurisdiction not previously covered by any legal opinion delivered by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any applicable Secured Debt Loan Documents or the Revolving Credit Loan Documents.

Each Revolving Credit Agent and Secured Debt Representative shall have the right to request that the Grantors (i) reaffirm, amend and/or re-execute any of the then-existing Security Documents (and do all acts and execute all documents required or advisable in connection therewith) to the extent such reaffirmation, amendment and/or re-execution is required or advisable to maintain the validity, enforceability, perfection and, to the extent possible, priority of the Liens granted thereunder and/or (ii) to the extent required or advisable, execute any additional Security Document (and do all acts and execute all documents required or advisable in connection therewith) to establish the validity, enforceability, perfection and, to the extent possible, priority of new Lien(s) over the Collateral.

The Security Documents creating or evidencing the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, the Pari Passu Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations shall comply with Sections 2.4 and 7.5(d).

(b) No Revolving Credit Claimholder under any Additional Secured Debt shall be entitled to the benefits of this Intercreditor Agreement unless the Revolving Credit Agent, acting on its behalf and pursuant to the authority provided in the Revolving Credit Loan Documents governing the terms of the related Revolving Credit Secured Obligations signs an Intercreditor Joinder Agreement and delivers the same to each Secured Debt Representative existing at the time such Additional Secured Debt is incurred.

(c) No Pari Passu Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefits of this Intercreditor Agreement unless the Pari Passu Representative, acting on its behalf and pursuant to the authority provided in the Loan Documents governing the terms of the related Pari Passu

Secured Obligations signs an Intercreditor Joinder Agreement and delivers the same to each Revolving Credit Agent and each Secured Debt Representative existing at the time such Additional Secured Debt is incurred.

(d) The Security Documents creating or evidencing the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, the Pari Passu Secured Obligation and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations in relation to any Additional Secured Debt shall be in all material respects substantially the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien, second lien or third lien nature of the Obligations thereunder and except (i) to the extent that the creditors who have the direct benefit of such agreements or documents agree that such documents and agreements may grant Liens in less than all the Collateral and/or are less restrictive on the Grantors (or provide fewer rights or remedies to the secured party) than the forms of documents and agreements on the date hereof (and the satisfaction of such requirement will be conclusively established if the Parent Borrower delivers to each Secured Debt Representative and the Revolving Credit Agents an officers’ certificate certifying that the Parent Borrower has determined in good faith that such Pari Passu Documents satisfy the foregoing requirements unless any Senior Secured Debt Representative or any Revolving Credit Agent notifies the Borrower within five Business Days that it disagrees with such determination (including a reasonable description of the basis upon which it disagrees)), (ii) the representations and covenants relating to Revolving Credit Priority Collateral contained in the Revolving Credit Loan Documents may be more restrictive that those contained in the Pari Passu Loan Documents and (iii) the representations and covenants relating to Pari Passu Secured Obligations contained in the Pari Passu Loan Documents may be more restrictive that those contained in the Revolving Credit Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any applicable Secured Debt Loan Documents.

7.6 When Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations or Pari Passu Secured Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.

(a) If concurrently with the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, any of the Grantors thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any Revolving Credit Secured Obligations designated to constitute Revolving Credit Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 7.5, which Refinancing is permitted by the Pari Passu Loan Documents and the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, then such Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured 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 Revolving Credit Secured Obligations) and, from and after the date the Parent Borrower and the new Revolving Credit Agent each complies with the requirements set forth in Section 7.5 with respect to such Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Revolving Credit Secured 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 Revolving Credit Agents under such new Revolving Credit Loan Documents shall be the Revolving Credit Agents for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of an Additional Secured Debt Designation stating that the applicable Grantors have entered into new Revolving Credit Loan Documents, such new Revolving Credit Agents, each Pari Passu Representative and each Subordinated Lien Representative shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including

amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such Grantors or such new Revolving Credit Agents shall reasonably request in order to provide to the new Revolving Credit Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver, to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, to such new Revolving Credit Agent any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such new Revolving Credit Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) (for the avoidance of doubt, it being expressly understood and agreed that nothing in this clause (b) shall require the Pari Passu Collateral Agent to deliver or otherwise allow any new Revolving Credit Agent to obtain possession or control of Pledged Collateral constituting Pari Passu Priority Collateral).

(b) If concurrently with the Discharge of Pari Passu Secured Obligations, any of the Grantors thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any Pari Passu Secured Obligations, which Refinancing is permitted by the Revolving Credit Loan Documents and the Subordinated Lien Loan Documents, then such Discharge of Pari Passu Secured 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 Pari Passu Secured Obligations) and, from and after the date the Parent Borrower and the new Pari Passu Representative complies with the requirements set forth in Section 7.5 with respect to such Pari Passu Secured Obligations, the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Pari Passu Secured Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein. Upon receipt of an Additional Secured Debt Designation stating that the applicable Grantors have entered into new Pari Passu Loan Documents, each other Pari Passu Representative, each Revolving Credit Agent and each Subordinated Lien Representative shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such Grantors or such Pari Passu Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to such Pari Passu Collateral Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver, to the extent contemplated by this Agreement, to such Pari Passu Collateral Agent any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such Pari Passu Collateral Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) (for the avoidance of doubt, it being expressly understood and agreed that nothing in this clause (b) shall require the Revolving Credit Agents to deliver or otherwise allow such Pari Passu Collateral Agent to obtain possession or control of Pledged Collateral constituting Revolving Credit Priority Collateral).

VIII. INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS.

8.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) If any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, and if any Revolving Credit Agent or any of the other Revolving Credit Claimholders desire to consent (or does not object) to the use of cash collateral that constitutes Revolving Credit Priority Collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to the provision of financing to any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or does not object) to the provision of such financing to any Grantor by any third party (any such financing, “Revolving Credit DIP Financing”), which Revolving Credit DIP Financing

Each Revolving Credit Claimholder, Pari Passu Secured Party, and Subordinated Lien Secured Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Credit Security Documents, the Pari Passu Security Documents and the Subordinated Lien Security Documents constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Pari Passu Secured Obligations, the Revolving Credit Secured Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations are each fundamentally different from the each other and should 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 any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Revolving Credit Claimholder, Pari Passu Secured Party, and Subordinated Lien Secured Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Revolving Credit Secured Obligation claims, Pari Passu Secured Obligation claims and Subordinated Lien Secured

Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, (i) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties), the Revolving Credit 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 in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Pari Passu Secured Parties or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, (ii) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Pari Passu Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties), the Pari Passu Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from the Pari Passu Priority Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties and (iii) to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties), the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Revolving Credit 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 in respect of Post-Petition Interest that is available from the Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, in each case, with the other Claimholders hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Claimholders amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

X. THE AUTHORIZED COLLATERAL AGENT.

10.1 Authority.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on either Authorized Collateral Agent to any Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Pari Passu Secured Party or any Subordinated Lien Secured Party or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct the Authorized Collateral Agent, except that the Authorized Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Common Collateral in accordance with Article VI hereof.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Non-Controlling Secured Parties acknowledges and agrees that each Authorized Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Pari Passu Secured Parties or the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Common Collateral as provided herein and in the Security Documents, as applicable, for which the Authorized Collateral Agent is the collateral agent of such Common Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that the Authorized Collateral Agent and any other Pari Passu Secured Party or Subordinated Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, shall not have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Common Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Pari Passu Secured Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Common Collateral (or any such other Collateral), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. In addition, whether or not it is the Authorized Collateral Agent, no Secured Debt Representative, Pari Passu Secured Party or Subordinated Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Collateral not constituting Common Collateral, or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral not constituting Common Collateral, in any manner that would maximize the return to the holders of any other Series of Secured debt, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the holders of any other Series of Secured Debt from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, the Pari Passu Secured Parties and the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Secured Debt Representative or the Authorized Collateral Agent of either Class or any other holder of Secured Obligations of any other Series or Class arising out of (i) any actions which any Secured Debt Representative, any Authorized Collateral Agent or any other holder of Secured Obligations may take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the applicable Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the any Secured Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or

release of any security for any Secured Obligations, (ii) any election by either Authorized Collateral Agent or any holders of Secured Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 8.1, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar provision of law in any other jurisdiction) by, Holdings, Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Secured Debt Representative (including any Authorized Collateral Agent) shall accept any Common Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Secured Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction (or similar provision in any other jurisdiction) , without the consent of each of the Secured Debt Representatives representing holders of Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations (as the case may be) for whom such Collateral constitutes Common Collateral.

10.2 Rights as a Secured Party. Any Person serving as an Authorized Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as any other holder of Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations, as the case may be, under any Series of Secured Obligations that it holds as any other holder of Indebtedness of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Authorized Collateral Agent Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Authorized Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other holder of Secured Obligations.

Each such Person 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 jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.3 Amendments; Waivers.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Revolving Credit Agent or Secured Debt Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of an Intercreditor Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto without the consent of any Revolving Credit Agent or any other Revolving Credit Claimholder, any Pari Passu Representative or any other Pari Passu Secured Party or any Subordinated Lien Representative or any other Subordinated Lien Secured Party, and upon such execution and delivery, such Revolving Credit Agent or Secured Debt Representative, as the case may be, and the additional Claimholders and Additional Secured Debt of the Series for which such Revolving Credit Agent or Secured Debt Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Borrower nor any other Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights or interests are directly and adversely affected in any material respect (which includes, but is not limited to any amendment to any Grantor’s ability to cause additional obligations to constitute Revolving Credit Secured Obligations, Pari Passu Secured Obligations or Subordinated Lien Secured Obligations as such Grantor may designate).
