(including any defect or deficiency or alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing) of any
Liens granted to the Second Priority Secured Parties on the Common Collateral or of any Liens
granted to the First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders on the Common Collateral, (ii) any provision of
the UCC, the Bankruptcy Code, or any applicable law or the Second Priority Documents or the Senior
Lender Documents, (iii) whether the First Lien Agent, either directly or through agents, holds
possession of, or has control over, all or any part of the Common Collateral, (iv) the fact that
any such Liens may be subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed or (v) any other
circumstance of any kind or nature whatsoever, the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and
each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Common
Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Agent or any Senior Lenders
6
or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how
acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have
priority over and be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Common Collateral securing
any Second Priority Claims and (b) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority
Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority
Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant,
statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all
respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims. All Liens on the
Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims shall be and remain senior in all respects and
prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims for all purposes,
whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Lender Claims are subordinated to any Lien securing
any other obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Person.
2.2. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on
behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, and the First Lien Agent, for itself and
on behalf of each Senior Lender in respect of which it serves as First Lien Agent, agrees that it
shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge, contest or support any
other Person in contesting or challenging, directly or indirectly, in any proceeding (including any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of (a)
a Lien securing any Senior Lender Claims held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of the
First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender or any agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Lender
Collateral or (b) a Lien securing any Second Priority Claims held (or purported to be held) by or
on behalf of the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party or any agent or trustee
therefor in any Second Priority Collateral, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Agent or any
Senior Lender to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior
Lender Claims as provided in Section 2.1) or any of the Senior Lender Documents or to prevent or
impair the rights of the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to enforce this
Agreement or, subject to the limitations provided herein, the Second Priority Documents.
2.3. New Liens.
(a) New Second Priority Liens. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has
not occurred, the Second Priority Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second
Priority Secured Party, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced
by or against the Company or any other Grantor, that it shall not acquire or hold any Lien on any
assets of the Company or any other Grantor securing any Second Priority Claims (other than Liens on
the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account) that are not also subject to the first-priority Lien in
respect of the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior Lender Documents. If the Second Priority
Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold
any Lien on any collateral (other than Liens on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account) that is
not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior
Lender Documents, then such Second Priority Secured Party shall, without the need for any further
consent of any party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed
to also hold and
have held such lien for the benefit of the First Lien Agent as security for the Senior Lender
Claims (subject to the lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the First
Lien Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien and in any event take such actions as may be
requested by the First Lien Agent to assign or release such Liens to the First Lien Agent (and/or
each of its designees) as security for the applicable Senior Lender Claims.
7
(b) New First Priority Liens. If the First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender shall
acquire or hold any Lien on any property or asset of a Grantor that is not also subject to the
Second Priority Lien, then such First Lien Lender shall, without the need for any further consent
of any party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to also
hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Second Priority Agent as security for the
Second Priority Claims (subject to the Lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly
notify the Second Priority Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien and in any event take
such actions as may be requested by the Second Priority Agent to assign or release such Liens to
the Second Priority Agent (and/or each of its designees) as security for the applicable Second
Priority Claims.
2.4. Perfection of Liens. Neither the First Lien Agent nor the Senior Lenders shall
be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Common
Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties.
The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as
between the Senior Lenders and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the
First Lien Agent, the Second Priority Agent, the Second Priority Secured Parties or the Senior
Lenders, or any agent or trustee therefor, any obligations in respect of the disposition of
proceeds of any Common Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor
of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable
law.
2.5. Waiver of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to assert
and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or
otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other
similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Common
Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
8
SECTION 3. Enforcement.
3.1. Exercise of Remedies.
(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred and subject to the
immediately following sentence, (i) neither the Second Priority Agent nor any Second Priority
Secured Party will (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or
recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral, or institute any action or proceeding with
respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure) (each of the foregoing, a
“Remedy”, and together, “Remedies”), (y) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding
or action brought with respect to the Common Collateral or any other collateral by
the First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Lender Claims, the exercise
of any right by the First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender (or any agent or sub-agent on their
behalf) in respect of the Senior Lender Claims under any lockbox agreement, control agreement,
landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Priority
Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party
beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party, of any Remedies relating to the Common
Collateral or any other collateral under the Senior Lender Documents or otherwise in respect of
Senior Lender Claims, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Lenders from bringing or
pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any Remedies relating to the
Common Collateral or any other collateral in respect of Senior Lender Claims and (ii) except as
otherwise provided herein, the First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid their
debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to
the Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Priority Agent or
any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the Second Priority Agent may
file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the applicable Second Priority
Claims and (B) the Second Priority Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the
Common Collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims, or the rights of the First Lien Agent or the
Senior Lenders to exercise Remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect,
preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on,
the Common Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 6 hereof, the Second
Priority Agent and any Second Priority Secured Party may exercise any Remedy after the Second
Priority Agent shall have given written notice to the First Lien Agent (a) that an Event of Default
has occurred under and as defined in the Series B Credit Agreement and stating its intentions to
exercise Remedies and (b) a period of at least 10 days shall have elapsed from receipt of such
notice (the “Remedies Notice”) by the First Lien Agent; provided that (x) such 10-day period shall
be extended to 120 days (including the 10 day period) if the First Lien Agent shall have given
written notice (a “Standstill Election Notice”) to the Second Priority Agent during such 10-day
period electing to extend such period to 120 days (including the 10 day period) and (y) the period
during which the Second Priority Agent and Second Priority Secured Parties shall be prohibited from
exercising Remedies shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of such 10-day or 120-day period
(the “Standstill Period”), as applicable, or the occurrence of any of the following: (i) occurrence
of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any other Grantor or (ii) such time as
the First Lien Agent consents in writing to the termination of the Standstill Period. In exercising
Remedies with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral, the First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders
may enforce the provisions of the Senior Lender 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 Common Collateral or other collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in
connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured
lender under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor
under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
9
(b) [Reserved]
(c) Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of the first sentence of Section 3.1(a) above and
the second sentence of Section 3.1(a), (i) the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of
each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that no Second Priority Agent or any Second
Priority Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of Remedies undertaken
by the First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders with respect to the Common Collateral or any other Senior
Lender Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common
Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise (provided that in no event shall this clause limit
the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party’s rights in or rights to take any
action relating to the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account) and (ii) except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable
Second Priority Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any other Second Priority
Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the
First Lien Agent or any other Senior Lender seeks to enforce or collect the Senior Lender Claims or
the Liens granted in any of the Senior Lender Collateral, regardless of whether any action or
failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agent or any other Senior Lender is adverse to the
interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties.
(d) The Second Priority Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or
restriction contained in any applicable Second Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any
way the Remedies of the First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders with respect to the Senior Lender
Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Lender Documents.
3.2. Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of the first sentence of
Section 3.1(a), the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority
Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, it
will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Lenders and the First Lien Agent
upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or
foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral or
otherwise in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims relating to the Common Collateral
during any Standstill Period (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall limit
the right of the Second Priority Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties to commence any
enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to their
Liens in the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account or otherwise in respect of the applicable Second
Priority Claims relating to the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account).
3.3. Actions Upon Breach. If any Second Priority Secured Party, in contravention of
the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with
respect to the Common Collateral, this Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and
admission by such Second Priority Secured Party that relief against such Second Priority Secured
Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to
prevent irreparable harm to the Senior Lenders, it being understood and agreed by the Second
Priority Agent on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the Senior Lenders’ damages
from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each
Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the Senior Lenders cannot
demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by the awarding of damages.
10
SECTION 4. Payments.
4.1. Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has
not occurred, the Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or
other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral upon the exercise of Remedies as a
secured party, shall be applied by the First Lien Agent to the Senior Lender Claims in such order
as specified in the relevant Senior Lender Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims
has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the First
Lien Agent shall deliver promptly to the Second Priority Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds
thereof 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 Second Priority Agent ratably to
the Second Priority Claims in such order as specified in the Second Priority Documents.
4.2. Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received by the Second
Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any Remedy
relating to the Common Collateral prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall be
segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Agent for
the benefit of the Senior Lenders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agent is each hereby
individually authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Agent or any
such Second Priority Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.
SECTION 5. Other Agreements.
5.1. Releases.
(a) If, at any time any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Lender Claim delivers notice to
the Second Priority Agent that any specified Common Collateral (including all or substantially all
of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) (including for such purpose, in
the case of the sale of equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such
Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed
of: (i) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Series A Credit
Agreement and the Series B Credit Agreement or (ii) following the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Release Event, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is
pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties upon such Common
Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such
Liens on such Common Collateral securing Senior Lender Claims are released and discharged. Upon
delivery to the Second Priority Agent of a notice from the First Lien Agent stating that any
release of Liens securing or supporting the Senior Lender Claims has become effective (or shall
become effective upon the Second Priority Agent’s release) (whether in connection with a sale of
such assets by the relevant Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence or otherwise), the Second
Priority Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements
or other documents confirming such release on customary terms at the expense of the Company. In
the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock of a Grantor or any of its
Subsidiaries, the guarantee in favor of the Second Priority
Secured Parties, if any, made by such Grantor or Subsidiary will automatically be released and
discharged as and when, but only to the extent, the guarantee by such Grantor or Subsidiary of
Senior Lender Claims is released and discharged.

(b) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority
Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Agent and any officer or
agent of the First Lien 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 Second
Priority Agent or in the First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Agent’s
discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or
desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements,
endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.
(c) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Second Priority
Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby consents
to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of Common Collateral to the
repayment of Senior Lender Claims pursuant to the terms of the Senior Lender Documents; provided
that nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the
Second Priority Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with
the Second Priority Claims not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.
5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred,
the First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the
rights of the Grantors under the Senior Lender Documents, to adjust or settle any insurance policy
or claim covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any
award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral. Unless and
until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any
such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence
of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of Senior Lenders
pursuant to the terms of the Senior Lender Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the Second Priority Agent for the benefit of the Second
Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Second Priority Documents and (c) third, if

as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the
Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds
of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay
such proceeds over to the First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.
12
5.3. Amendments.
(a) Amendments to Second Priority Collateral Documents. So long as the Discharge of
Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent
and the Required Lenders, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the
terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be
prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement (it being understood
that this provision shall not prohibit the amendment, supplement or modification of any Second
Priority Collateral Document or the entry into any new Second Priority Collateral Document to the
extent that such amendment, supplement, modification or new Second Priority Collateral Document
relates solely to the Liens in the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second
Priority Claims). The Second Priority Agent agrees that each applicable Second Priority Collateral
Document executed as of the date hereof shall include the following language (or language to
similar effect approved by the First Lien Agent), unless such Second Priority Collateral Document
relates solely to the Liens in the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second
Priority Claims:
THIS [SENIOR COLLATERAL AGREEMENT][SECOND PRIORITY COLLATERAL AGREEMENT] IS SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THE
LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO THE [FIRST LIEN AGENT][SECOND PRIORITY AGENT], FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE SECURED PARTIES, PURSUANT TO THIS [SENIOR COLLATERAL AGREEMENT][SECOND PRIORITY
COLLATERAL AGREEMENT] AND THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY BY THE [FIRST LIEN AGENT][SECOND
PRIORITY AGENT] ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
(b) Amendments to Senior Lender Documents. The Senior Lenders shall have the right,
exercisable in their sole discretion, without notice or demand and without affecting or impairing
the agreements and obligations of the Second Priority Parties, from time to time to modify, extend,
amend, restate, compromise, supplement, waive or release the Senior Lender Claims, the Lien in
favor of the Senior Lenders or any Senior Lender Documents, and the aggregate amount of the Senior
Lender Claims may be renewed, replaced or refinanced, all without notice to or consent by the
Second Priority Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties; provided, however,
that the principal amount of the Senior Lender Claims (other than Senior Lender Claims in respect
of Secured Hedging Agreements) may only be increased, renewed, replaced or refinanced in an amount
not to exceed the $60,000,000.
5.4. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights
and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Subsidiary that has guaranteed the
Second Priority Claims in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents and applicable
law, to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured
Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct
or indirect result of (a) the exercise by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured
Party of Remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or (b) enforcement in
contravention of this Agreement of any Lien on Common Collateral in respect of Second Priority
Claims held by any of them. In the event the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured
Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral as
a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority
Claims or otherwise, such judgment or other lien
shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims on the same basis as the
other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior
Lender Claims under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely
affects any Remedies the First Lien Agent or the Senior Lenders may have with respect to the Senior
Lender Collateral.
13
5.5. First Lien Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
(a) The First Lien Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common
Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or
bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose
of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Second
Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (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).
(b) In the event that the First Lien Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against
Intellectual Property that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection
of Liens in such Common Collateral, such First Lien Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous
bailee for the Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the
security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreement,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.
(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including in Sections 3.1 and 4.1
hereof), until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the First Lien Agent shall be
entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance the Senior Lender Documents as if the
Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second
Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral
shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) The First Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Agent or
any Second Priority Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the
Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the
Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities
of the First Lien Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged
Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the Second Priority Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien
held by the Second Priority Secured Parties.
(e) The First Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents
or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Priority
Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party, and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority
Secured Parties hereby waive and release the First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities
arising pursuant to the First Lien Agent’s role under this Section 5.5, as agent and gratuitous
bailee with respect to the Common Collateral.
14
(f) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Lien Agent shall deliver to the
Second Priority Agent (or its designees), to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the
remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and to the extent such Pledged Collateral is in the
possession or control of the First Lien Agent (or its agents or bailees) together with any
necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second Priority Agent to obtain control of such
Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company
shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and
shall indemnify the First Lien Agent for loss or damage suffered by the First Lien Agent as a
result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the First Lien Agent as a result of
its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The First Lien Agent has no obligation
to follow instructions from the Second Priority Agent in contravention of this Agreement.
(g) Neither the First Lien Agent nor the Senior Lenders shall be required to marshal any
present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the
First Lien Agent or the Senior Lenders under the Credit Agreement or the Senior Collateral
Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security
or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such
collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in
addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.
5.6. Subordination of Liens in respect of Senior Lender Claims. The First Lien Agent
(on behalf of itself and each Senior Lender) agrees not to subordinate, or otherwise voluntarily
relinquish the benefits of, its Lien in any Common Collateral to the Lien, indebtedness or claim of
any other creditor of any Grantor without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Agent.
SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
6.1. Financing Issues.
(a) If the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and the First Lien Agent shall desire (i) to permit the use of cash collateral (other
than the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) to permit the Company or any other Grantor to
obtain financing (“DIP Financing”) under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law, then the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and
each Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support
any objection to (A) such (1) use of cash collateral or (2) DIP Financing so long as (x) such DIP
Financing is on commercially reasonable terms, (y) such DIP Financing does not compel the Grantors
to pursue a specific plan of reorganization and (z) on the date the DIP Financing (or any amendment
or modification thereof) is approved by the applicable bankruptcy court, the aggregate principal
amount outstanding under such DIP Financing plus the aggregate principal amount available under
such DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Senior Lender Claims (other
than obligations in respect of Secured Hedging Agreements) does not exceed $70 million (provided
that the Second Priority Agent and any Second Priority Secured Party shall be permitted to propose
an alternative DIP Financing to the Company and the other Grantors, as well as to the court
presiding over the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) and will not request adequate protection
or any other relief in connection therewith
15
(except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to
the extent the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior Lender Documents are subordinated
or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the Common Collateral to such
DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing
the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this
Agreement, (B) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against
foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Lender Claims made by the First Lien Agent or any
holder of Senior Lender Claims, (C) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Lender Claims of
the right to credit bid Senior Lender Claims at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Lender Collateral
or (D) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of Senior Lender
Claims relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Lender Collateral.
(b) If the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and the Second Priority Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral
consisting of the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account, then the First Lien Agent, on behalf of
itself and each Senior Lender, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support any
objection to, and will not otherwise contest (i) such use of cash collateral and will not request
adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith, (ii) any motion for relief from
the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the
Liens in the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second Priority Claims or (iii) any
other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of Second Priority Claims
relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account.
6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has
occurred, the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority
Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral, without the prior
written consent of the First Lien Agent and the Required Lenders.
6.3. Adequate Protection.
(a) The Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Secured Party,
agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by
the First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders for adequate protection (unless such adequate protection
effects the validity or priority of the Liens on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing
the Second Priority Claims) or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders to any
motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agent’s or the Senior Lenders’
claiming a lack of adequate protection (unless such objection effects the validity or priority of
the Liens on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second Priority Claims).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior
Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional
collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral (other than the Series B
Term Loan Controlled Account) under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any
similar Bankruptcy Law, then the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and any Second Priority
Secured Party, (A) may seek or request adequate protection in the
16
form of a replacement Lien on
such additional collateral, which Lien (except with respect to the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account) is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Lender
Claims and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to
the Senior Lenders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second
Priority Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement
and (B) agrees that it will not seek or request, and will not accept, adequate protection in any
other form (other than with respect to the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account), and (ii) in the
event the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any Second Priority Secured Party, seeks or
requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional
collateral (unless such additional collateral is adequate protection in relation to the Liens on
the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second Priority Claims) then the Second
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or each Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that the First
Lien Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the
applicable Senior Lender Claims and for any use of cash collateral or DIP Financing provided by the
Senior Lenders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Claims
shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims and any
such DIP Financing provided by the Senior Lenders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any
other Liens granted to the Senior Lenders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other
Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender
Claims under this Agreement.
(b) The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Senior Lender, agrees that none of
them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Second Priority
Agent or Second Priority Secured for adequate protection with respect to the Liens on the Series B
Term Loan Controlled Account securing the Second Priority Claims or (b) any objection by the Second
Priority Agent or Second Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based
on the Second Priority Agent’s or the Second Priority Secured Parties’ claiming a lack of adequate
protection with respect to the Liens on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account securing the
Second Priority Claims. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the First Lien Agent, on
behalf of itself and each Senior Lender, agrees that it will not seek or request, and will not
accept, adequate protection in the form of Liens on the Series B Term Loan Controlled Account.
6.4. Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Lender 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 (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor)any amount, whether received
as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, because the payment of
such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason
(each such payment, a “Recovery”), then as among the parties hereto the Senior Lender Claims shall
be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment
had not occurred and the Senior Lenders shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims
with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights hereunder until such time. 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.
17
6.5. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable prior to and after the
commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references herein to any Grantor
shall apply to any trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor and debtor-in-possession. The
relative rights as to the Common Collateral and other collateral and proceeds thereof shall
continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject
to any court order approving the DIP Financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.
6.6. Waivers. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Second
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (a) will not
assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code senior to or
on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims for costs or expenses of preserving or
disposing of any Common Collateral or other collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims, and (b)
waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Senior Lender of
the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
7.1. Reliance. The consent by the Senior Lenders to the execution and delivery of
the Second Priority Documents to which the Senior Lenders have consented and all loans and other
extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Lenders to the

Agreement. The Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority

Senior Lender Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of
any Liens thereon. The Senior Lenders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective
loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Lender Documents in accordance with law and as they
may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, without regard to any rights or
interests that the Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the
Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the First
Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to the Second Priority Agent or any Second
Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the
occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company
or any Subsidiary thereof (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge
thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the
First Lien Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured
Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any
warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a)

expressly set forth in this Agreement.
18
7.3. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of
the First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders, and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority
Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Lender Documents or any Second
Priority Documents;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or
any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second Priority Claims, or any amendment or waiver or other
modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or
otherwise, of the terms of the Series A Credit Agreement or any other Senior Lender Document or of
the terms of the Series B Credit Agreement or any other Second Priority Document;
(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or

otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second Priority Claims or any guarantee
thereof;
(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or
any other Grantor; or
(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a

Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

8.1. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.19, in the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Lender Document or any Second
Priority Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
8.2. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.4, this
Agreement shall continue to be effective until (a) with respect to the First Lien Agent, Senior
Lenders and Senior Lender Claims, the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall have occurred or (b)

Claims such later time as all the Obligations in respect of the Second Priority Claims shall have
been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Lenders may
continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority
Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the
benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting Senior Lender Claims in reliance hereon.
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.
19
8.3. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement by the Second Priority Agent or the First Lien Agent shall be deemed
to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its
authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific
instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the
obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The
Company and the other Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights are
affected.
8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
Neither the First Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any obligation to the Second Priority
Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to keep the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority
Secured Party informed of, and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties
shall not be entitled to rely on the First Lien Agent or the Senior Lenders with respect to (a) the
financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the
Second Priority Claims or the Senior Lender Claims or (b) any other circumstances bearing upon the
risk of nonpayment of the Second Priority Claims or the Senior Lender Claims. The First Lien
Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall
have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such
condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the First Lien Agent, any
Senior Lender, the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party, in its or their sole
discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any
other party, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the First Lien Agent, the
Senior Lenders, the Second Priority Agent and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not make,
any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy,
completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any
additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to
undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or
reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise
required to maintain confidential.
8.5. Subrogation. The Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable
Second Priority Secured Party, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result
of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred.
8.6. Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments
received by the Senior Lenders (other than in respect of or on account of the Series B Term Loan
Controlled Account) may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of
the Senior Lender Claims as the Senior Lenders, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate,
consistent with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party,
assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Lender Claims or
any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or
release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Lender Claims and to the
addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.
20
8.7. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waivers. The parties hereto consent to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in New York, New York (the “New
York Courts”), and consent that all service of process may be made by registered mail directed to
such party as provided in Section 8.8 for such party. Service so made shall be deemed to be
completed three days after the same shall be posted as aforesaid. The parties hereto waive any
objection to any action instituted hereunder in any such court based on forum non conveniens, and
any objection to the venue of any action instituted hereunder in any such court. Each of the
parties hereto waives any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any litigation based on,
or arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, or any course of conduct, course of
dealing, verbal or written statement or action of any party hereto in connection with the subject
matter hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement in the courts of any jurisdiction,
except that each Loan Party, each Second Priority Secured Party and the Second Priority Agent
agrees that (a) it will not bring any such action or proceeding in any court other than New York
Courts (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that any other forum would be
inconvenient and inappropriate in view of the fact that more of the holders of Senior Lender Claims
and Second Priority Claims who would be affected by any such action or proceeding have contacts
with the State of New York than any other jurisdiction), and (b) in any such action or proceeding
brought against the Second Priority Agent or any Loan Party or any Second Priority Secured Party in
any other court, it will not assert any cross-claim, counterclaim or setoff, or seek any other
affirmative relief, except to the extent that the failure to assert the same will preclude such
Loan Party or such Second Priority Secured Party from asserting or seeking the same in the New York
Courts.
8.8. Notices. All notices to the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Senior
Lenders permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the Second Priority Agent or the
First Lien Agent, as applicable, as provided in the Series B Credit Agreement or the Series A

shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of
a telecopy or electronic mail or upon receipt via U.S. mail (registered or certified, with postage
prepaid and properly addressed). For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto
shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party,
at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other
parties. The First Lien Agent hereby agrees to promptly notify the Second Priority Agent upon
payment in full in cash of all Indebtedness under the Senior Lender Documents (except for
contingent indemnities and cost and reimbursement obligations to the extent no claim therefor has
been made).
21
8.9. Further Assurances. The Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each
Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it shall take such further action and shall execute and
deliver to the First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders such additional documents and
instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the First Lien Agent or the Senior Lenders may
reasonably request, at the expense of the Company, to effectuate the terms of and the lien
priorities contemplated by this Agreement.
8.10. Governing Law. This Agreement has been delivered and accepted in and shall be
deemed to have been made in New York, New York and shall be interpreted, and the rights and
liabilities of the parties bound hereby determined, in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York.
8.11. [Reserved.]

Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each of the First Lien Agent, on behalf
of itself and each applicable Senior Lender, and the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and
each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the
