(i) any Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing any Term Loan Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing any of the ABL Facility Obligations; and

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the ABL Facility Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the Term Loan Obligations (and the security therefor).

Each of the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Facility Secured Party, and the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Term Loan Secured Parties in the Term Loan First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, as the case may be, (ii) the validity or enforceability of any ABL Facility Security Document (or any ABL Facility Obligations thereunder) or any Term Loan Security Document (or any Term Loan Obligations thereunder) or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations granted and/or established in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of either of the Security Agents or any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations and the ABL Facility Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2(a).

(c) No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, except as contemplated by Section 2.1(f) or Section 2.5(c), the parties hereto agree that no Borrower nor any other Grantor shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any ABL Facility Obligation unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants (i) a First Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Term Loan Obligations if such asset or property constitutes Term Loan First Lien Collateral or (ii) a Second Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the Term Loan Obligations if such asset or property constitutes ABL Facility First Lien Collateral. To the extent that the provisions of clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Term Loan Security Agent and/or the Term Loan Secured Parties, the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral granted in contravention of such clause (i) of this Section 2.1(c) shall be subject to Section 2.3.

Page 19

In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 6.7, each Security Agent and each Secured Party agrees, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(i) upon request by any Security Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, and the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the ABL Facility Documents or the Term Loan Documents, as the case may be;

(ii) that the Term Loan Security Documents and the ABL Facility Security Documents creating Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral and the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to (A) the First Priority and the Second Priority nature of the Liens created thereunder in such Collateral and (B) the Excluded ABL Facility Collateral; and

(iii) the guarantees for the ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations shall be substantially in the same form.

(f) Excluded ABL Facility Collateral. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that this Agreement shall not restrict the rights of the Term Loan Security Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party to pursue enforcement proceedings, exercise remedies or make determinations with respect to the Excluded ABL Facility Collateral or otherwise take actions with respect to the Excluded ABL Facility Collateral in accordance with the applicable Term Loan Documents, and such Excluded ABL Facility Collateral shall be applied as specified in the applicable Term Loan Documents and will not constitute Collateral.

(i) neither the ABL Facility Security Agent nor any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties (x) will exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, setoff) with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement in respect of Term Loan First Lien Collateral to which the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party is a party) or institute or commence, or join with any Person (other than the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties) in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), enforcement, collection or execution; provided, however, that the ABL Facility Security Agent may exercise any or all such rights in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents after the passage of a period of 180 days from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the Term Loan Security Agent of the ABL

Page 20

Facility Security Agent’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions (the “ABL Facility Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the ABL Facility Security Agent nor any ABL Facility Secured Party will exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the ABL Facility Standstill Period, the Term Loan Security Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to a material portion of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the ABL Facility Security Agent, it being understood and agreed that any failure to provide such notice shall not impair any of the Term Loan Security Agent’s or the Term Loan Secured Parties’ rights hereunder), (y) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the Term Loan First Lien Collateral under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise, and (z) subject to its rights under clause (i)(x) above, will object to the forbearance by the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, in each case so long as the respective interests of the ABL Facility Secured Parties attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.2(a) shall be construed to authorize the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party to sell any Term Loan First Lien Collateral free of the Lien of the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party; and

(ii) subject to Section 4 and clause (i)(x) above, the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the Term Loan First Lien Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party; provided, that:

(1) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against Holdings, any Borrower or any other Grantor, the ABL Facility Security Agent and any ABL Facility Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Term Loan Obligations;

(2) the ABL Facility Security Agent and any ABL Facility Secured Party may take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, or the rights of any Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral;

(3) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to 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 ABL Facility Secured Parties, including without limitation any claims secured by the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

Page 21

(4) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to the extent not prohibited by any other provision of this Agreement;

(5) the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral; and

(6) the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents after the termination of the ABL Facility Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.

Subject to Section 4 and clause (i)(x) above, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Term 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 Term Loan First Lien Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under any other applicable law.

(b) The ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any Term Loan First Lien Collateral or any Proceeds of Term Loan First Lien Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 2.2(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a) or in Section 4. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 2.2(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a) or in Section 4, the sole right of the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral pursuant to the ABL Facility 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 Term Loan Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term Loan Documents and applicable law.

(c) Subject to the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 2.2(a), the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a) and Section 4:

(i) the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the Term Loan Documents with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or Term Loan Security Document with respect to the Term Loan First Lien

Page 22

Collateral or subordinate the priority of the Term Loan Obligations to the ABL Facility Obligations with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral or grant the Liens with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations equal ranking to the Liens with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, and

(ii) the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or the ABL Facility Secured Parties may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Term Loan Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, in any such case except to the extent such enforcement or collection is in violation of the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Term Loan Security Agent or Term Loan Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the ABL Facility Secured Parties.

(d) The ABL Facility Security Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any ABL Facility Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Term Loan Documents.

2.3. Payments Over.

So long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, any Term Loan First Lien Collateral, Cash Proceeds thereof or non-cash Proceeds constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral (or any distribution in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral or otherwise that is inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Term Loan Security Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, for application in accordance with Section 5.1 below, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Term Loan Security Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the ABL Facility Security Agent or any such ABL Facility Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations.

2.4. Other Agreements.

(a) Releases.

(i) If, in connection with:

(1) the exercise of any Term Loan Security Agent’s remedies in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral provided for in any Term Loan Document (with the Proceeds thereof being applied to the Term Loan Obligations), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Term Loan First Lien Collateral; or

(2) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Term Loan First Lien Collateral permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents (other than in connection with the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations),

Page 23

the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, on such Term Loan First Lien Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such ABL Facility Secured Parties, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Term Loan Security Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Term Loan Security Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

(ii) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations occurs, the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Term Loan Security Agent and any officer or agent of the Term Loan Security 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 ABL Facility Security Agent or such holder or in the Term Loan Security Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Term Loan Security Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 2.4(a) with respect to Term Loan First Lien Collateral, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.4(a) with respect to Term Loan First Lien Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(iii) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations occurs, to the extent that the Term Loan Secured Parties (a) have released any Lien on Term Loan First Lien Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (b) obtain any new First Priority Liens on assets constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral from Grantors, then the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be granted a Second Priority Lien on any such Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

(iv) If, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, a subordination of the Term Loan Security Agent’s Lien on any Term Loan First Lien Collateral is permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (a “Term Loan Collateral Priority Lien”), then the Term Loan Security Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the Term Loan Security Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the ABL Facility Security Agent for the benefit of (and behalf of) the ABL Facility Secured Parties to such Term Loan Collateral Priority Lien.

(b) Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Term Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any Insurance policy covering the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral; provided that, if any Insurance claim includes both ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and Term Loan First Lien

Page 24

Collateral, and if the Security Agents are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Security Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the parties. If the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such Insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Section 2.4(b), it shall pay such Proceeds over to the Term Loan Security Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2(c).

(c) Amendments to, and Refinancing of, ABL Facility Documents.

(i) Subject to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), the ABL Facility Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the ABL Facility Documents may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the Term Loan Security Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties (but subject to the requirements of the last sentence of this paragraph and of Section 3.4(f) below), all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement. The Term Loan Security Agent on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties acknowledges that a portion of the ABL Facility Obligations represents debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, without affecting the provisions hereof. The ABL Facility Documents may be Refinanced to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness meet the requirements of each Credit Agreement and the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties to the terms of this Agreement; provided that if such Refinancing Indebtedness is secured by a Lien on any Collateral the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed bound by the terms hereof regardless of whether or not any such writing is provided.

(ii) The Grantors agree that each ABL Facility Security Document shall include the following language (with any necessary modifications to give effect to applicable definitions) (or language to similar effect approved by the Term Loan Security Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the ABL Facility Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement in any Term Loan First Lien Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by the ABL Facility Security Agent with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 19, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among PC Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Party City Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, Party City Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as ABL Facility Security Agent, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“DBNY”), as Term Loan Security Agent, and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, the Grantors agree that each mortgage in favor of the ABL Facility Secured Parties covering any Term Loan First Lien Collateral shall also contain such other language as the Term Loan Security Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such mortgage to the mortgage in favor of the Term Loan Secured Parties covering such Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

Page 25

(iii) In the event the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Term Loan Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Term Loan Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Term Loan Security Agent, such Term Loan Secured Parties, any Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable ABL Facility Security Document without the consent of the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties and without any action by the ABL Facility Security Agent, any Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets that constitute Term Loan First Lien Collateral subject to the Lien of the ABL Facility Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 2.4(a) and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the Term Loan Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the ABL Facility Security Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting other liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral not permitted under the terms of the ABL Facility Documents or Section 2.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the ABL Facility Security Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent).

(iv) The Term Loan Security Agent shall endeavor to give prompt notice of any amendment, waiver or consent of a Term Loan Document to the ABL Facility Security Agent after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided, that the failure of the Term Loan Security Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the priority of the Term Loan Security Agent’s Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries.

(d) Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility Documents to which it is a party and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the ABL Facility Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set off) in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the ABL Facility Security Agent or any other ABL Facility Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Term Loan First Lien Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Term Loan Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations are so subordinated to such Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Term Loan Security Agent or the other Term Loan Secured Parties may have with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

Page 26

(e) Bailee for Perfection.

(i) The Term Loan Security Agent agrees to hold or control that part of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such Term Loan First Lien Collateral being the “Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral”) as collateral agent for the Term Loan Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the ABL Facility Security Agent (on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4(e).

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Security Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Documents as if the Liens of the ABL Facility Security Agent under the ABL Facility Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the ABL Facility Security Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the Term Loan Security Agent’s rights under the Term Loan Documents.

(iii) The Term Loan Security Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Loan Secured Party, the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.4(e). The duties or responsibilities of the Term Loan Security Agent under this Section 2.4(e) shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 2.4(e).

(iv) The Term Loan Security Agent acting pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall not have by reason of the Term Loan Security Documents, the ABL Facility Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Term Loan Secured Party, the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, and each of the foregoing hereby waives and releases the Term Loan Security Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Term Loan Security Agent’s role under this Section 2.4(e) as gratuitous bailee and agent with respect to the Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

(v) Upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, the Term Loan Security Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, (I) first, to the ABL Facility Security Agent to the extent ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding and (II) second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral) and will cooperate with the ABL Facility Security Agent or such Grantor, as the case may be, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral under its control. The Term Loan Security Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors or such Person) in connection with such Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Page 27

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, all rights of the Term Loan Security Agent hereunder and under the Term Loan Security Documents or the ABL Facility Security Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of such Term Loan First Lien Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of either of the ABL Facility Security Agent or the Term Loan Security Agent, pass to the ABL Facility Security Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties. Each of the Term Loan Security Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any ABL Facility Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, take any other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the ABL Facility Security Agent (subject to any limitations set forth in the ABL Facility Documents), in connection with the ABL Facility Security Agent’s establishment and perfection of a First Priority security interest in the Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the Term Loan Security Agent acquires possession of any Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, the Term Loan Security Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral, provided that as soon as is practicable the Term Loan Security Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral to the ABL Facility Security Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the requirements of preceding clause (v).

(f) When Discharge of Term Loan Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if concurrently with (or immediately after) the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, any Borrower and/or any other Grantor enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any Term Loan Obligations, then such Discharge of Term Loan Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Term Loan Obligations (together with the Term Loan Secured Hedging Agreements on the basis provided in the definition of “Term Loan Documents” contained herein) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “Term Loan Credit Agreement” shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to such Permitted Refinancing and the Term Loan Security Agent under such Term Loan Documents shall be a Term Loan Security Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured parties under such Term Loan Documents (together with the Term Loan Hedging Creditors as provided herein) shall automatically be treated as Term Loan Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that any Borrower and/or any other Grantor has entered into a new Term Loan Document in respect of a Permitted Refinancing of Term Loan Obligations (which notice shall include the identity of the new security agent with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness, such agent, the “New Term Loan Agent”), and delivery by the New Term Loan Agent of an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to each other Security Agent hereunder, the ABL Facility Security Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as any Borrower or such New Term Loan Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Term Loan Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New Term Loan Agent any Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral held by the ABL Facility Security Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Term Loan Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral). The New Term Loan Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Term Loan Obligations under the new Term Loan Documents are secured by

Page 28

assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Facility Obligations, then the ABL Facility Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Second Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Facility Security Documents with respect to the other Term Loan First Lien Collateral. If the new Term Loan Obligations under the new Term Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral that do not also secure the ABL Facility Obligations, then the ABL Facility Obligations shall be secured at such time by a First Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Facility Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(g) Option to Purchase Term Loan Obligations. (i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant Term Loan Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the ABL Facility Obligations under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (an “Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the Term Loan Secured Parties), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this Section 2.4(g), all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan Obligations (other than the Term Loan Obligations of a Defaulting Term Loan Secured Party), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all Term Loan Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided that at the time of (and as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4(g), all commitments pursuant to any then outstanding Term Loan Credit Agreement shall have terminated and all Term Loan Secured Hedging Agreements also shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 2.4(g)(i) shall be made as follows:

(1) for a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute Term Loan Obligations, 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration or other prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs), (B) in the case of any Term Loan Secured Hedging Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each Term Loan Hedging Creditor (which is a Term Loan Secured Party) thereunder pursuant to the terms of the respective Term Loan Secured Hedging Agreement, including, without limitation, all amounts owing to such Term Loan Hedging Creditor as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof (in each case, to the extent of its interest as a Term Loan Secured Party) and (C) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums or similar fees) through the date of purchase;

(2) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers (without recourse and without any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any Term Loan Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any Term Loan Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representations and warranties (1) that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1) shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the Term Loan Obligations and (2) as to the amount of its portion of the Term Loan Obligations being acquired);

(4) with all amounts payable to the various Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the Term Loan Security Agent in accordance with their respective holdings of the various Term Loan Obligations; and

(5) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the Term Loan Security Agent (with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make such payment, by the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers, who shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the Term Loan Security Agent and each other Term Loan Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant Term Loan Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.4(g).

(ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 2.4(g)(i) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, (A) shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser or Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers except as provided in clause (iii) below and (B) shall specify a date of purchase not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than thirty (30) calendar days, after the date of the receipt by the Term Loan Security Agent of such notice) given to the Term Loan Security Agent by an Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser. Neither the Term Loan Security Agent nor any Term Loan Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Term Loan Purchaser, the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.

(iii) The right to purchase the Term Loan Obligations as described in this Section 2.4(g) may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (ii)) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within 10 Business Days after any such event, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting Term Loan Obligations remain owing); provided that if there is any failure to meet the condition described in the proviso of preceding clause (i) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended until the first date upon which such condition is satisfied, and (2) ends on the 10th Business Day after the start of the period described in clause (1) above.

(iv) The obligations of the Term Loan Secured Parties to sell their respective Term Loan Obligations under this Section 2.4(g) are several and not joint and several. To the extent

Page 30

any Term Loan Secured Party breaches its obligation to sell its Term Loan Obligations under this Section 2.4(g) (a “Defaulting Term Loan Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 2.4(g) shall be deemed to require the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting Term Loan Secured Party’s Term Loan Obligations for resale to the holders of ABL Facility Obligations and in all cases, the Term Loan Security Agent and each Term Loan Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 2.4(g) shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting Term Loan Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv) shall require any Eligible ABL Facility Purchaser to purchase less than all of the Term Loan Obligations.

(v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible ABL Facility Purchasers pursuant to this Section 2.4(g) (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant Term Loan Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such Term Loan Documents) for purposes of all Term Loan Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 2.4(g) from such Grantor shall be required.

2.5. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

(a) Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, if any Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Term Loan Security Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral or to permit any Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Term Loan Secured Parties or any other entity under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law, that is secured by a lien that is (i) senior or pari passu with the liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, and (ii) junior to the liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations (each, a “Term Loan DIP Financing”), then the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting) such use of cash collateral constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral or to the fact that the providers of such Term Loan DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Term Loan Security Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 2.5(c)) and, the ABL Facility Security Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Term Loan First Lien Collateral to the Liens securing such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all interest and other obligations relating thereto); provided that (i) the ABL Facility Security Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Facility Obligations and, with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral only, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the Term Loan Security Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the ABL Facility Security Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to Term Loan First Lien Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such Term Loan DIP Financing and the Term Loan Obligations), and (iii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5(a) shall not prevent the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any Term Loan DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws. The ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Term Loan First Lien Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of Proceeds with respect to the Second Priority Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in favor of the ABL Facility Security Agent in the same

Page 31

order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for any objection or opposition that could be asserted by any ABL Facility Secured Party as an unsecured creditor in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, if the Term Loan Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets; provided that the ABL Facility Security Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to seek and exercise Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition.

(b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Security Agent.

(c) Adequate Protection. The ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral, (ii) so long as the request of adequate protection is in the form of a replacement lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral that is junior to the liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, any request by the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or (iii) any objection by the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 2.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the Term Loan Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral in connection with any Term Loan DIP Financing or use of cash collateral constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral, then the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations and such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations are so subordinated to the Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing ABL Facility Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral, then the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Security Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Term Loan Obligations and for any such Term Loan DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations and any such Term Loan DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Term Loan Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations are so subordinated to such Term Loan Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 2.2(a), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, including the seeking by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL

Page 32

Facility Secured Party of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the ABL Facility Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.

(e) Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of Term Loan Obligations and on account of ABL Facility Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Term Loan Obligations and on account of the ABL Facility Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(f) Post-Petition Interest.

(i) Neither the ABL Facility Security Agent nor any ABL Facility Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Term Loan Secured Party’s Lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Facility Security Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

(ii) Neither the Term Loan Security Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Facility Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the ABL Facility Security Agent on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral).

(g) Waiver. The ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Term Loan Secured Party arising out of the election of any Term Loan Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

2.6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

(a) Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, acknowledges that it and such ABL Facility Secured Parties have (and by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, each of the ABL Facility Secured Parties acknowledge that they have), independently and without reliance on the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the ABL Facility Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

The Term Loan Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective Term Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall have no duty to the ABL Facility Security Agent or any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Borrower or any other Grantor (including the Term Loan Documents and the ABL Facility Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(c) No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(i) No right of the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Security Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Term Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Term Loan Secured Party or the Term Loan Security Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Term Loan Documents or any of the ABL Facility Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(ii) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of each Borrower and the other Grantors under the Term Loan Documents and subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(c)), the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Security Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the Term Loan Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, without incurring any liabilities to the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(1) make loans and advances to any Grantor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Grantor or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

(2) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Term Loan Obligations or any Lien on any Term Loan First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of any of any Borrower or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Term Loan Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral held by the Term Loan Security Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, the Term Loan Obligations or any of the Term Loan Documents;

Page 34

(3) sell, exchange, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner (subject to the terms hereof) and in any order any part of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral or any liability of any Borrower or any other Grantor to the Term Loan Secured Parties or the Term Loan Security Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(4) settle or compromise any Term Loan Obligation or any other liability of any Borrower or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; and

(5) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Borrower, any other Grantor or any Term Loan First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of any Borrower or any other Grantor to the Term Loan Secured Parties or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.

(iii) The ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, also agrees that the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Security Agent shall have no liability to the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, and the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, hereby waives any claim against any Term Loan Secured Party or the Term Loan Security Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the Term Loan Secured Parties or the Term Loan Security Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to:

(1) the Term Loan Documents (other than this Agreement);

(2) the collection of the Term Loan Obligations; or

(3) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

Except as otherwise required by this Agreement, the ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, and each other ABL Facility Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefit of the ABL Facility Documents), agrees that the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Security Agent have no duty to the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations or otherwise.

(iv) The ABL Facility Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, and each other ABL Facility Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefit of the ABL Facility Documents), 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 Term Loan First Lien Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

(d) Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Term Loan Document or any ABL Facility Document;

Page 35

(ii) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any change permitted hereunder in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification permitted hereunder, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any Term Loan Document or any ABL Facility Document;

Section 3. ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

3.1. Lien Priorities.

(a) Relative Priorities. Notwithstanding (i) the time, manner, order or method of grant, creation, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations granted on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or of any Liens securing the ABL Facility Obligations granted on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, (ii) the validity or enforceability of the security interests and Liens granted in favor of any Security Agent or any Secured Party on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, (iii) the date on which any ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations are made or extended, (iv) any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law, including any rule for determining priority thereunder or under any other law or rule governing the relative priorities of secured creditors, including with respect to real property or fixtures, (v) any provision set forth in any ABL Facility Document or any Term Loan Document (other than this Agreement), (vi) the possession or control by any Security Agent or any Secured Party or any bailee of all or any part of any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral as of the date hereof or otherwise, (vii) any failure by any ABL Facility Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or (viii) any other circumstance whatsoever, the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby agrees that:

(i) any Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing any ABL Facility Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing any of the Term Loan Obligations; and

(ii) any Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law or court order, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing any ABL Facility Obligations.

Page 36

All Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing any ABL Facility Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing any Term Loan Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any ABL Facility Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of any Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person (but only to the extent that such subordination is permitted pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, or as contemplated in Section 3.5). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the Term Loan Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the ABL Facility Obligations (and the security therefor).

(b) Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, and the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of each ABL Facility Secured Party, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Term Loan Secured Parties in the Term Loan First Lien Collateral, as the case may be, (ii) the validity or enforceability of any Term Loan Security Document (or any Term Loan Obligations thereunder) or any ABL Facility Security Document (or any ABL Facility Obligations thereunder) or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations granted and/or established in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of either of the Security Agents or any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations as provided in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.2(a).

(c) No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has not occurred, except as contemplated by Section 2.1(f) or Section 3.5(c), the parties hereto agree that no Borrower nor any other Grantor shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Term Loan Obligation unless it has granted or contemporaneously grants (i) a First Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Facility Obligations if such asset or property constitutes ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or (ii) a Second Priority Lien on such asset or property to secure the ABL Facility Obligations if such asset or property constitutes Term Loan First Lien Collateral. To the extent that the provisions of clause (i) in the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the ABL Facility Security Agent and/or the ABL Facility Secured Parties, the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral granted in contravention of such clause (i) of this Section 3.1(c) shall be subject to Section 3.3.

(d) Effectiveness of Lien Priorities. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Lien priorities provided for in this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any manner whatsoever, including, without limitation, on account of: (i) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the ABL Facility Documents or the Term Loan Documents; (ii) any amendment, change or modification of any ABL Facility Documents or Term Loan Documents not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement; or (iii) any impairment, modification, change, exchange, release or subordination of or limitation on, any liability of, or stay of actions or lien enforcement proceedings against, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries party to any of the ABL Facility Documents or

Page 37

Term Loan Documents, its property, or its estate in bankruptcy resulting from any bankruptcy, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation, rehabilitation, similar proceeding or otherwise involving or affecting any Secured Party.

3.2. Exercise of Remedies.

(a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor:

(i) neither the Term Loan Security Agent nor any of the Term Loan Secured Parties (x) will exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including, without limitation, setoff) with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement in respect of ABL Facility First Lien Collateral to which the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party is a party) or institute or commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties) in commencing any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), enforcement, collection or execution; provided, however, that the Term Loan Security Agent may exercise any or all such rights in accordance with the Term Loan Documents after the passage of a period of 180 days from the date of delivery of a notice in writing to the ABL Facility Security Agent of the Term Loan Security Agent’s intention to exercise its right to take such actions (the “Term Loan Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Term Loan Security Agent nor any Term Loan Secured Party will exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Term Loan Standstill Period, the ABL Facility Security Agent or ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of any of their rights or remedies with respect to a material portion of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Term Loan Security Agent, it being understood and agreed that any failure to provide such notice shall not impair any of the ABL Facility Security Agent’s or the ABL Facility Secured Parties’ rights hereunder), (y) will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party with respect to, or any other exercise by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to, the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral under the ABL Facility Documents or otherwise, and (z) subject to its rights under clause (i)(x) above, will object to the forbearance by the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, in each case so long as the respective interests of the Term Loan Secured Parties attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 3.1; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.2(a) shall be construed to authorize the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to sell any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral free of the Lien of the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party; and

(ii) subject to clause (i)(x) above, the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the disposition of, or restrictions with respect to, the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party; provided, that:

(1) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against Holdings, any Borrower or any other Grantor, the Term Loan Security Agent and any Term Loan Secured Party may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Facility Obligations;

Page 38

(2) the Term Loan Security Agent and any Term Loan Secured Party may take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, or the rights of any ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in accordance with the Term Loan Documents in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral;

(3) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Term Loan Secured Parties, including without limitation any claims secured by the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(4) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and to the extent not prohibited by any other provision of this Agreement;

(5) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization and file any proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise and 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 ABL Facility First Lien Collateral; and

(6) the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in accordance with the Term Loan Documents after the termination of the Term Loan Standstill Period to the extent permitted by clause (i)(x) above.

Subject to clause (i)(x) above, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Facility 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 ABL Facility First Lien Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under any other applicable law.

(b) The Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or any Proceeds of ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.2(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a). Without limiting the generality of the

Page 39

foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.2(a) or in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a), the sole right of the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral is to hold a Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral pursuant to the Term 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 ABL Facility Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term Loan Documents and applicable law.

(c) Subject to the first proviso in clause (i)(x) of Section 3.2(a), the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a):

(i) the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties will not take any action that would hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the ABL Facility Documents with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or ABL Facility Security Document with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or subordinate the priority of the ABL Facility Obligations to the Term Loan Obligations with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or grant the Liens with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations equal ranking to the Liens with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations, and

(ii) the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Term Loan Secured Parties may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Facility Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, in any such case except to the extent such enforcement or collection is in violation of the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Facility Security Agent or ABL Facility Secured Parties is adverse to the interest of the Term Loan Secured Parties.

(d) The Term Loan Security Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Term Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Facility Documents.

3.3. Payments Over.

So long as the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has not occurred, any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, Cash Proceeds thereof or non-cash Proceeds constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (or any distribution in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, whether or not expressly characterized as such) received by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off) relating to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or otherwise that is inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Facility Security Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, for application in accordance with Section 5.2 below, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Facility

Page 40

Security Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Loan Security Agent or any such Term Loan Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations.

3.4. Other Agreements.

(a) Releases.

(i) If, in connection with:

(1) the exercise of any ABL Facility Security Agent’s remedies in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral provided for in any ABL Facility Document (with the Proceeds thereof being applied to the ABL Facility Obligations), including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral; or

(2) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral permitted under the terms of the ABL Facility Documents and the Term Loan Documents (other than in connection with the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations),

the ABL Facility Security Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, on such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (but not the Proceeds thereof, which shall be subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement) shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Term Loan Secured Parties, promptly shall execute and deliver to the ABL Facility Security Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the ABL Facility Security Agent or such Grantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

(ii) Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations occurs, the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the ABL Facility Security Agent and any officer or agent of the ABL Facility Security Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Loan Security Agent or such holder or in the ABL Facility Security Agent’s own name, from time to time in the ABL Facility Security Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4(a) with respect to ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(iii) Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations occurs, to the extent that the ABL Facility Secured Parties (a) have released any Lien on ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and any such Lien is later reinstated or (b) obtain any new First Priority Liens on assets constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral from Grantors, then the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be granted a Second Priority Lien on any such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(iv) If, prior to the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, a subordination of the ABL Facility Security Agent’s Lien on any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral is permitted under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement to another Lien permitted under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement (an

Page 41

“ABL Facility Collateral Priority Lien”), then the ABL Facility Security Agent is authorized to execute and deliver a subordination agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to it, and the Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver to the ABL Facility Security Agent an identical subordination agreement subordinating the Liens of the Term Loan Security Agent for the benefit of (and behalf of) the Term Loan Secured Parties to such ABL Facility Collateral Priority Lien.

(b) Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents, to adjust settlement for any Insurance policy covering the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral; provided that, if any Insurance claim includes both ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and Term Loan First Lien Collateral, and if the Security Agents are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Security Agent may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the parties. If the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such Insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Section 3.4(b), it shall pay such Proceeds over to the ABL Facility Security Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1(c).

(c) Amendments to, and Refinancing of, Term Loan Documents.

(i) Subject to the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), the Term Loan Documents may be amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the Term Loan Documents may be Refinanced, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, the ABL Facility Security Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties (but subject to the requirements of the immediately following sentence and of Section 2.4(f) above), all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement. The Term Loan Documents may be Refinanced to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing Indebtedness meet the requirements of each Credit Agreement and the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness bind themselves in a writing addressed to the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties to the terms of this Agreement; provided that if such Refinancing Indebtedness is secured by a Lien on any Collateral the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be deemed bound by the terms hereof regardless of whether or not any such writing is provided.

(ii) The Grantors agree that each Term Loan Security Document shall include the following language (with any necessary modifications to give effect to applicable definitions) (or language to similar effect approved by the ABL Facility Security Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the Term Loan Security Agent pursuant to this Agreement in any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Term Loan Security Agent with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 19, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among PC Intermediate Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, Party City

Page 42

Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation, Party City Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPM”), as ABL Facility Security Agent, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (“DBNY”), as Term Loan Security Agent, and certain other Persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

(iii) In the event any ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the ABL Facility Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any ABL Facility Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Facility Security Agent, such ABL Facility Secured Parties, any Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder, in each case with respect to or relating to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Term Loan Security Document without the consent of the Term Loan Security Agent or the Term Loan Secured Parties and without any action by the Term Loan Security Agent, any Borrower or any other Grantor, provided, that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of (i) removing assets that constitute ABL Facility First Lien Collateral subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Security Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 3.4(a) and provided that there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the ABL Facility Obligations, (ii) imposing duties on the Term Loan Security Agent without its consent or (iii) permitting other liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Documents or Section 3.5 and (B) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Term Loan Security Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent).

(iv) The ABL Facility Security Agent shall endeavor to give prompt notice of any amendment, waiver or consent of a ABL Facility Document to the Term Loan Security Agent after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided, that the failure of the ABL Facility Security Agent to give any such notice shall not affect the priority of the ABL Facility Security Agent’s Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries.

(d) Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Borrower or any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Documents to which it is a party and applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the Term Loan Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set off) in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in contravention of this Agreement or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. In the event the Term Loan Security Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Facility Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the

Page 43

Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Facility Security Agent or the other ABL Facility Secured Parties may have with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(e) Bailee for Perfection.

(i) The ABL Facility Security Agent agrees to hold or control that part of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral being the “Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral”) as collateral agent for the ABL Facility Secured Parties and as bailee for and, with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral that cannot be perfected in such manner, as agent for, the Term Loan Security Agent (on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties) and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Facility Documents and the Term Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4(e).

(ii) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the ABL Facility Security Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in accordance with the terms of the ABL Facility Documents as if the Liens of the Term Loan Security Agent under the Term Loan Security Documents did not exist. The rights of the Term Loan Security Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the ABL Facility Security Agent’s rights under the ABL Facility Documents.

(iii) The ABL Facility Security Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any ABL Facility Secured Party, the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to ensure that the Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.4(e). The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Facility Security Agent under this Section 3.4(e) shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral as bailee or agent in accordance with this Section 3.4(e).

(iv) The ABL Facility Security Agent acting pursuant to this Section 3.4(e) shall not have by reason of the ABL Facility Security Documents, the Term Loan Security Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any ABL Facility Secured Party, the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party, and each of the foregoing hereby waives and releases the ABL Facility Security Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the ABL Facility Security Agent’s role under this Section 3.4(e) as gratuitous bailee and agent with respect to the Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(v) Upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, the ABL Facility Security Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered the remaining Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (if any) in its possession or in the possession of its agents or bailees, together with any necessary endorsements, (I) first, to the Term Loan Security Agent to the extent Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding and (II) second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral) and will cooperate with the Term Loan Security Agent or such Grantor, as the case may be, in assigning (without recourse to or warranty by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility

Page 44

Secured Party or agent or bailee thereof) control over any other Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral under its control. The ABL Facility Security Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors or such Person) in connection with such Person obtaining a first priority interest in the Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, for any reason, any Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, all rights of the ABL Facility Security Agent hereunder and under the Term Loan Security Documents or the ABL Facility Security Documents (1) with respect to the delivery and control of any part of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, and (2) to direct, instruct, vote upon or otherwise influence the maintenance or disposition of such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, shall immediately, and (to the extent permitted by law) without further action on the part of either of the Term Loan Security Agent or the ABL Facility Security Agent, pass to the Term Loan Security Agent, who shall thereafter hold such rights for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties. Each of the ABL Facility Security Agent and the Grantors agrees that it will, if any Term Loan Obligations remain outstanding upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, take any other action required by any law or reasonably requested by the Term Loan Security Agent (subject to any limitations set forth in the Term Loan Facility Documents), in connection with the Term Loan Security Agent’s establishment and perfection of a First Priority security interest in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if for any reason, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, the ABL Facility Security Agent acquires possession of any Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the ABL Facility Security Agent shall hold same as bailee and/or agent to the same extent as is provided in preceding clause (i) with respect to Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, provided that as soon as is practicable the ABL Facility Security Agent shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Pledged Term Loan First Lien Collateral to the Term Loan Security Agent in a manner otherwise consistent with the requirements of preceding clause (v).

(f) When Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if concurrently with (or immediately after) the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, any Borrower and/or any other Grantor enters into any Permitted Refinancing of any ABL Facility Obligations, then such Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under the Permitted Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Facility Obligations (together with the ABL Facility Bank Product Agreements and ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreements on the basis provided in the definition of “ABL Loan Documents” contained herein) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, the term “ABL Facility Credit Agreement” shall be deemed appropriately modified to refer to such Permitted Refinancing and the ABL Facility Security Agent under such ABL Facility Documents shall be a ABL Facility Security Agent for all purposes hereof and the new secured parties under such ABL Facility Documents (together with the ABL Facility Bank Product Creditors and ABL Secured Hedging Creditors as provided herein) shall automatically be treated as ABL Facility Secured Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that any Borrower and/or any other Grantor has entered into a new ABL Facility Document in respect of a Permitted Refinancing of ABL Facility Obligations (which notice shall include the identity of the new agent with respect to such Refinancing Indebtedness, such agent, the “New ABL Facility Security Agent”), and delivery by the New ABL Facility Security Agent of an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to each other Security Agent hereunder, the Term Loan Security Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements

Page 45

(including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as any Borrower or such New ABL Facility Security Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New ABL Facility Security Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) deliver to the New ABL Facility Security Agent any Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral held by the Term Loan Security Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New ABL Facility Security Agent to obtain control of such Pledged ABL Facility First Lien Collateral). The New ABL Facility Security Agent shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new ABL Facility Obligations under the new ABL Facility Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral that do not also secure the Term Loan Obligations, then the Term Loan Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Second Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Term Loan Security Documents with respect to the other ABL Facility First Lien Collateral. If the new ABL Facility Obligations under the new ABL Facility Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Term Loan First Lien Collateral that do not also secure the Term Loan Obligations, then the Term Loan Obligations shall be secured at such time by a First Priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Term Loan Security Documents with respect to the other Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

(g) Option to Purchase ABL Facility Obligations.

(i) Without prejudice to the enforcement of remedies by the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, any Person or Persons (in each case who must meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant ABL Facility Documents) at any time or from time to time designated by the holders of more than 50% in aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Obligations under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (an “Eligible Term Loan Purchaser”) shall have the right to purchase by way of assignment (and shall thereby also assume all commitments and duties of the ABL Facility Secured Parties other than in respect of services giving rise to ABL Facility Bank Product Obligations), at any time during the exercise period described in clause (iii) below of this Section 3.4(g), all, but not less than all, of the ABL Facility Obligations (other than the ABL Facility Obligations of a Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party), including all principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and fees on and all prepayment or acceleration penalties and premiums in respect of all ABL Facility Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase; provided that at the time of (and as a condition to) any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4(g), all commitments pursuant to any then outstanding ABL Facility Credit Agreement shall have terminated and all ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreements and ABL Facility Bank Product Agreements also shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms. Any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4(g)(i) shall be made as follows:

(1) for (x) a purchase price equal to the sum of (A) in the case of all loans, advances or other similar extensions of credit that constitute ABL Facility Obligations (including unreimbursed amounts drawn in respect of letters of credit, but excluding the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit and excluding ABL Facility Bank Product Obligations), 100% of the principal amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the date of purchase (without regard, however, to any acceleration or other prepayment penalties or premiums other than customary breakage costs), (B) in the case of any ABL Facility Bank Product Obligations, cash collateral in such amounts as the ABL Facility Security Agent reasonably determines is necessary to secure the ABL Facility Security Agent and the other ABL Facility Secured Parties in connection with such ABL Facility Bank Product Obligations, (C) in the case of the undrawn amount of then outstanding letters of credit, cash collateral in the amount of 100% of the aggregate undrawn amount of such letters of credit, (D) in the case of any ABL Facility Secured Hedging Agreement, the aggregate amount then owing to each ABL Facility Hedging Creditor

(2) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) payable in cash on the date of purchase against transfer to the respective Eligible Term Loan Purchaser or Eligible Term Loan Purchasers (without recourse and without any representations or warranties whatsoever, whether as to the enforceability of any ABL Facility Obligation or the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or sufficiency of any Lien securing, or guarantee or other supporting obligation for, any ABL Facility Obligation or as to any other matter whatsoever, except the representations and warranties (1) that the transferor owns free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances (other than participation interests not prohibited by the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, in which case the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) shall be appropriately adjusted so that the Eligible Term Loan Purchaser or Eligible Term Loan Purchasers do not pay amounts represented by any participation interest which remains in effect), and has the right to convey, whatever claims and interests it may have in respect of the ABL Facility Obligations) and (2) as to the amount of its portion of the ABL Facility Obligations being acquired); provided that the purchase price in respect of any outstanding letter of credit that remains undrawn on the date of purchase shall be payable in cash as and when such letter of credit is drawn upon (i) first, from the cash collateral account described in clause (i)(1)(x)(C) above, until the amounts contained therein have been exhausted, and (ii) thereafter, directly by the respective Eligible Term Loan Purchaser or Eligible Term Loan Purchasers;

(3) with the purchase price described in preceding clause (i)(1)(x) accompanied by a waiver by the Term Loan Security Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Secured Parties) of all claims arising out of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as a result of exercising the purchase option contemplated by this Section 3.4(g);

Page 47

(4) with all amounts payable to the various ABL Facility Secured Parties in respect of the assignments described above to be distributed to them by the ABL Facility Security Agent in accordance with their respective holdings of the various ABL Facility Obligations; and

(5) with such purchase to be made pursuant to assignment documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and prepared by counsel for, the ABL Facility Security Agent (with the cost of such counsel to be paid by the Grantors or, if the Grantors do not make such payment, by the respective Eligible Term Loan Purchaser or Eligible Term Loan Purchasers, who shall have the right to obtain reimbursement of same from the Grantors); it being understood and agreed that the ABL Facility Security Agent and each other ABL Facility Secured Party shall retain all rights to indemnification as provided in the relevant ABL Facility Documents for all periods prior to any assignment by them pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.4(g).

(ii) The right to exercise the purchase option described in Section 3.4(g)(i) above shall be exercisable and legally enforceable upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of exercise (which notice, once given, (A) shall be irrevocable and fully binding on the respective Eligible Term Loan Purchaser or Eligible Term Loan Purchasers except as provided in clause (iii) below and (B) shall specify a date of purchase not less than five (5) Business Days, nor more than thirty (30) calendar days, after the date of the receipt by the ABL Facility Security Agent of such notice) given to the ABL Facility Security Agent by an Eligible Term Loan Purchaser. Neither the ABL Facility Security Agent nor any ABL Facility Secured Party shall have any disclosure obligation to any Eligible Term Loan Purchaser, the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party in connection with any exercise of such purchase option.

(iii) The right to purchase the ABL Facility Obligations as described in this Section 3.4(g) may be exercised (by giving the irrevocable written notice described in preceding clause (ii)) during the period that (1) begins on the date occurring three Business Days after the first to occur of (x) the date of the acceleration of the final maturity of the loans under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement, (y) the occurrence of the final maturity of the loans under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or (z) the occurrence of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Grantor which constitutes an event of default under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement (in each case, so long as the acceleration, failure to pay amounts due at final maturity or such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding constituting an event of default has not been rescinded or cured within 10 Business Days after any such event, and so long as any unpaid amounts constituting ABL Facility Obligations remain owing); provided that if there is any failure to meet the condition described in the proviso of preceding clause (i) hereof, the aforementioned date shall be extended until the first date upon which such condition is satisfied, and (2) ends on the 10th Business Day after the start of the period described in clause (1) above.

(iv) The obligations of the ABL Facility Secured Parties to sell their respective ABL Facility Obligations under this Section 3.4(g) are several and not joint and several. To the extent any ABL Facility Secured Party breaches its obligation to sell its ABL Facility Obligations under this Section 3.4(g) (a “Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party”), nothing in this Section 3.4(g) shall be deemed to require the ABL Facility Security Agent or any other ABL Facility Secured Party to purchase such Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party’s ABL Facility Obligations for resale to the holders of Term Loan Obligations and in all cases, the ABL Facility Security Agent and each ABL Facility Secured Party complying with the terms of this Section 3.4(g) shall not be deemed to be in default of this Agreement or otherwise be deemed liable for any action or inaction of any Defaulting ABL Facility Secured Party; provided that nothing in this clause (iv) shall require any Eligible Term Loan Purchaser to purchase less than all of the ABL Facility Obligations.

(v) Each Grantor irrevocably consents to any assignment effected to one or more Eligible Term Loan Purchasers pursuant to this Section 3.4(g) (so long as they meet all eligibility standards contained in all relevant Term Loan Documents, other than obtaining the consent of any Grantor to an assignment to the extent required by such ABL Facility Documents) for purposes of all Term Loan Documents and hereby agrees that no further consent to any such assignment pursuant to this Section 3.4(g) from such Grantor shall be required.

Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, if any Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Facility Security Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or to permit any Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the ABL Facility Secured Parties or any other entity under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law, that is secured by a lien that is (i) senior or pari passu with the liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations and (ii) junior to the liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations (each, an “ABL Facility DIP Financing”), then the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not oppose or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting or contesting) such use of cash collateral constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or to the fact that the providers of such ABL Facility DIP Financing may be granted Liens on the Collateral and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the ABL Facility Security Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 3.5(c)) and, the Term Loan Security Agent will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all interest and other obligations relating thereto); provided that (i) the Term Loan Security Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties retain a Lien on the Collateral to secure the Term Loan Obligations and, with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral only, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the ABL Facility Security Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the Term Loan Security Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such ABL Facility DIP Financing and the ABL Facility Obligations), and (iii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5(a) shall not prevent the Term Loan Security Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any ABL Facility DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws. The Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it will not raise any objection or oppose a sale or other disposition of any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral free and clear of its Liens (subject to attachment of Proceeds with respect to the Second Priority Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in favor of the Term Loan Security Agent in the same order and manner as otherwise set forth herein) or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for any objection or opposition that could be asserted by any Term Loan Secured Party as an unsecured creditor in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, if the Term Loan Secured Parties have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets; provided that the Term Loan Security Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to seek and exercise Credit Bid Rights in respect of any such sale or disposition.

(b) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral without the prior written consent of the ABL Facility Security Agent.

Page 49

(c) Adequate Protection. The Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, (ii) so long as the request of adequate protection is in the form of a replacement lien on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral that is junior to the liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, any request by the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties for adequate protection with respect to any Term Loan First Lien Collateral or (iii) any objection by the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Facility Security Agent or the ABL Facility Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5(c), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (A) if the ABL Facility Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in connection with any ABL Facility DIP Financing or use of cash collateral constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, then the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Facility Obligations and such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to the ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement, and (B) in the event the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing Term Loan Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral in the nature of assets constituting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, then the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Facility Security Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the ABL Facility Obligations and for any such ABL Facility DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations and any such ABL Facility DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the ABL Facility Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to such ABL Facility Obligations under this Agreement.

(d) No Waiver. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.2(a), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Term Loan Security Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, including the seeking by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of adequate protection in respect thereof or the asserting by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Term Loan Documents or otherwise in respect thereof.

(e) Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of ABL Facility Obligations and on account of Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Facility Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Page 50

(f) Post-Petition Interest.

(i) Neither the Term Loan Security Agent nor any Term Loan Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Facility Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the ABL Facility Secured Party’s Lien on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Term Loan Security Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral.

(ii) Neither the ABL Facility Security Agent nor any other ABL Facility Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Security Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Term Loan Security Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (after taking into account the Lien of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral).

(g) Waiver. The Term Loan Security Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any ABL Facility Secured Party arising out of the election of any ABL Facility Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

3.6. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the Term Loan Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, acknowledges that it and such Term Loan Secured Parties have (and by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, each of the Term Loan Secured Parties acknowledge that they have), independently and without reliance on the ABL Facility Security Agent or any ABL Facility Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Term Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Loan Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

The ABL Facility Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective ABL Facility Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty to the Term Loan Security Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Borrower or any other Grantor (including the ABL Facility Documents and the Term Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

4.3. Access to Property to Process and Sell Inventory. (a) (i) If the ABL Facility Security Agent commences any action or proceeding with respect to any of its rights or remedies (including, but not limited to, any action of foreclosure but excluding any exercise of rights solely in connection with a Cash Dominion Event, as such term is defined in the ABL Facility Credit Agreement,

Page 54

as originally in effect), enforcement, collection or execution with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (“ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Enforcement Actions”) or if the Term Loan Security Agent commences any action or proceeding with respect to any of its rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), enforcement, collection or execution with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral and the Term Loan Security Agent (or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale conducted in foreclosure of any Term Loan Security Agent’s Liens) takes actual or constructive possession of Term Loan First Lien Collateral of any Grantor (“Term Loan First Lien Collateral Enforcement Actions”), then the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Security Agent shall (subject to, in the case of any Term Loan First Lien Collateral Enforcement Action, a prior written request by the ABL Facility Security Agent to the Term Loan Security Agent (the “Term Loan First Lien Collateral Enforcement Action Notice”)) (x) cooperate with the ABL Facility Security Agent (and with its officers, employees, representatives and agents) in its efforts to conduct ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Enforcement Actions in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and to finish any work-in-process and process, ship, produce, store, complete, supply, lease, sell or otherwise handle, deal with, assemble or dispose of, in any lawful manner, the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, (y) not hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Facility Security Agent from conducting ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Enforcement Actions in the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral or from finishing any work-in-process or processing, shipping, producing, storing, completing, supplying, leasing, selling or otherwise handling, dealing with, assembling or disposing of, in any lawful manner, the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral, and (z) permit the ABL Facility Security Agent, its employees, agents, advisers and representatives, at the cost and expense of the ABL Facility Secured Parties (but with the Grantors’ reimbursement and indemnity obligation with respect thereto), to enter upon and use the Term Loan First Lien Collateral (including, without limitation, equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files and intellectual property), for a period commencing on (I) the date of the initial ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Enforcement Action or the date of delivery of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral Enforcement Action Notice, as the case may be, and (II) ending on the earlier of the date occurring 180 days thereafter and the date on which all ABL Facility First Lien Collateral (other than ABL Facility First Lien Collateral abandoned by the ABL Facility Security Agent in writing) has been removed from the Term Loan First Lien Collateral (such period, the “ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Processing and Sale Period”), for purposes of:

(A) assembling and storing the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral and completing the processing of and turning into finished goods any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral consisting of work-in-process;

(B) selling any or all of the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral located in or on such Term Loan First Lien Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise;

Page 55

provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of the Term Loan Security Agent from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any Term Loan First Lien Collateral prior to the expiration of such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Processing and Sale Period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees in writing (for the benefit of the ABL Facility Security Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties) to be bound by the provisions of this Section 4. If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such ABL Facility First Lien Collateral Processing and Sale Period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order.

(ii) During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Facility Secured Parties and/or the ABL Facility Security Agent (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Loan First Lien Collateral, the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Security Agent shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Term Loan First Lien Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Term Loan First Lien Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Facility Secured Parties or the ABL Facility Security Agent have any liability to the Term Loan Secured Parties and/or to the Term Loan Security Agent pursuant to this Section 4.3(a) as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Facility Secured Parties (or the ABL Facility Security Agent, as the case may be) of their rights under this Section 4.3(a) and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Facility Secured Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral that results from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Term Loan First Lien Collateral by the ABL Facility Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 4.3(a). Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 4.3(a), the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Security Agent shall cooperate with the Term Loan Secured Parties and/or the Term Loan Security Agent in connection with any efforts made by the Term Loan Secured Parties and/or the Term Loan Security Agent to sell the Term Loan First Lien Collateral.

In no event shall any ABL Facility Secured Party have any liability to the Term Loan Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 4.3(b) or otherwise as a result of any condition of or with respect to the Term Loan First Lien Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Facility Secured Parties of their access rights under this Section 4.3(b), and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Loan First Lien Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the access and/or use thereof by the ABL Facility Secured Parties.

(c) The Term Loan Security Agent (x) shall, at the request of the ABL Facility Security Agent, provide reasonable cooperation to the ABL Facility Security Agent in connection with the manufacture, production, completion, handling, removal and sale of any ABL Facility First Lien Collateral by the ABL Facility Security Agent as provided above and (y) shall be entitled to receive, from the ABL Facility Security Agent, fair compensation and reimbursement for their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such cooperation, support and assistance to the ABL Facility Security Agent. The Term Loan Security Agent and/or any such purchaser (or its transferee or successor) shall not otherwise be required to manufacture, produce, complete, remove, insure, protect, store, safeguard, sell or deliver any Inventory subject to any First Priority Lien held by the ABL Facility Security Agent or to provide any support, assistance or cooperation to the ABL Facility Security Agent in respect thereof.

By its acceptance of the benefits hereof, each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the terms and provisions of this Agreement do not violate any term or provision of its respective Term Loan Document or ABL Facility Document.

6.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. Each Security Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Secured Parties, 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable nonbankruptcy law. Any provision of this Agreement which 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. All references to each Borrower or any other Grantor shall include such Borrower or such Grantor as debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for each Borrower or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(i) with respect to the ABL Facility Security Agent, the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Obligations, upon the Discharge of ABL Facility Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Facility Secured Parties under Section 6.17; and

(ii) with respect to the Term Loan Security Agent, the Term Loan Secured Parties and the Term Loan Obligations, upon the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, subject to the rights of the Term Loan Secured Parties under Section 6.17.

Page 60

parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.16. Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no 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, obligations, interests or privileges are directly affected (which includes any amendment to the Grantors’ ability to cause additional obligations to constitute Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations as any Borrower and/or any other Grantor may designate).

(b) It is understood that the ABL Facility Security Agent and the Term Loan Security Agent, without the consent of any other ABL Facility Secured Party or Term Loan Secured Party, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate (i) to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations of any of the Grantors become ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, under this Agreement, (ii) to give effect to any amendments contemplated by Sections 2.4(f)(i) or 3.4(f)(i) in connection with a Permitted Refinancing of Term Loan Obligations or ABL Facility Obligations, as applicable or (iii) to effectuate the subordination of Liens granted pursuant to Sections 6.02(o), (t), (u) or (cc) of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement or Sections 6.02(o)(ii), (t), (u) or (dd) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (or, in each case, any equivalent or similar baskets or exceptions under the documentation governing or evidencing any Permitted Refinancing thereof) to (x) the Liens on the Term Loan First Lien Collateral securing the ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations and (y) the Liens on the ABL Facility First Lien Collateral securing ABL Facility Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations (the indebtedness or other obligations described in clauses (i) and (iii), “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, except in the case of preceding clauses (ii) and (iii), specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes ABL Facility Obligations or Term Loan Obligations; provided that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred under the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement then extant in accordance with the terms thereof, and each of the ABL Facility Security Agent and the Term Loan Security Agent shall execute and deliver such supplemental agreement at the other’s request (or upon the request of the Borrower Agent) and such supplemental agreement may contain additional intercreditor terms (to the extent consistent with the foregoing and each of the ABL Facility Credit Agreement and Term Loan Credit Agreement then extant) applicable solely to the holders of such Additional Debt vis-à-vis the holders of the relevant obligations hereunder.

6.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.
