document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) without the consent of the Trustee or the Noteholders or the holders of any other Second Priority Claims and without any action by the Trustee or any other holders of Second Priority Claims or any Obligor; provided that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Documents (or any comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims), except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1, (B) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Trustee and the Noteholders or any other holders of Second Priority Claims (and not the holders of the Lender Liens in a like or similar manner) shall not apply to the Noteholder Collateral Documents (or the comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) without the consent of the Trustee (acting at the direction of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Noteholder Claims) or the representative(s) of any other series or class of Second Priority Claims (as applicable) and (C) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Trustee and to the representative(s) of each other outstanding series or class of Second Priority Claims; provided, further, that (x) nothing contained in this clause (b) shall impair the rights of the Administrative Agent and the holders of Lender Claims, or the obligations and agreements of the Trustee and Noteholders, under Sections 3 and 5.1 hereof and (y) the Lender Security Agreement and Noteholder Security Documents (or comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) may, without the consent of the Trustee or the Noteholders or any other holder of Second Priority Claims, be amended or modified pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors as long as such amendments or modifications do not violate the express provisions of the Indenture or any other Noteholder Document (or the comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims).
Section 5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Sections 2.2, 3 or 6) or the Noteholder Documents, the Trustee and the Noteholders and the holders of any other series or class of Second Priority Claims may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Obligors (but not against the Secured Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Noteholder Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Trustee or any Noteholders and any holders of Second Priority Claims of the required payments of interest and principal on the Notes so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Trustee or any Noteholder or holder of any other series or class of Second Priority Claims of rights and remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them in contravention of this Agreement. In the event that the Trustee or any Noteholder or holder of any other series or class of Second Priority Claims becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Lender Liens and the Lender Claims) as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any rights or remedies the Secured Parties may have with respect to the Lender Collateral.
Section 5.5 Bailee for Perfection.
(a) Solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Noteholder Collateral Documents (or the comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5, the Administrative Agent agrees: (i) to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as bailee for the Trustee, each of the other representatives of any holders of Second Priority Claims and any assignee, (ii) with respect to any securities accounts included in the Collateral, it has "control" within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(3) of such securities accounts on behalf of the Trustee, each of the other
10
representatives of any holders of Second Priority Claims and any assignee and (iii) with respect to any deposit accounts included in the Collateral, it is acting as agent for the Trustee, each of the other representatives of any holders of Second Priority Claims and any assignee.
(b) The rights of the Trustee and each of the other representatives of any holders of Second Priority Claims shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the Administrative Agent's rights under the Loan Documents.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee, any Noteholder, any holder of any other Second Priority Claims or its representative to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any Obligor or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee or agent for the Trustee or other representative(s) of holders of Second Priority Claims for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Trustee or other representative(s) of holders of Second Priority Claims.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of the Noteholder Collateral Documents (or comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Trustee, any Noteholder, any holder of any other Second Priority Claims or its representative.
(e) Upon the Discharge of Lender Claims, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Trustee or any other representative of any holders of Second Priority Claims, as applicable, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, the Pledged Collateral in its possession together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Trustee or other representative of any holders of Second Priority Claims, as applicable, to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) to the extent required by the Noteholder Documents (or comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
Section 5.6 When Discharge of Lender Claims Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If at any time after the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred, the Company designates any Future First-Lien Credit Facility to be the "Credit Agreement" hereunder, then such Discharge of Lender Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Lender Claims), and such Future First-Lien Credit Facility shall automatically be treated as the Credit Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein; provided, however, that no designation of any Future First-Lien Credit Facility shall apply retroactively and the holders of Second Priority Claims shall be entitled to retain any collateral proceeds or other payments or property received by them prior to the designation of such Future First-Lien Credit Facility. Upon receipt of notice of such designation (including the identity of the new Administrative Agent), the Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent the Pledged Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such Administrative Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). If the Obligations under a Future First-Lien Credit Facility are secured by assets of the Obligors of the type constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Noteholder Claims, then the holders of Second Priority Claims shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
Section 6.1 DIP Financing and Uses of Cash Collateral. If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Administrative Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company to obtain financing under section 363 or section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code ("DIP Financing"), then the Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the
11
representative(s) of each future series or class of Second Priority Claims, agree that they will raise no objection to such use or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Lender Liens are junior in priority or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will maintain the priority of its Liens in the Collateral as junior in priority to such Lender Liens on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are second in priority to Lender Claims under this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. While any amounts are outstanding under the Loan Documents or any commitment under any DIP Financing provided by any Secured Party is in effect, the Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the representative(s) of each future series or class of Second Priority Claims, agree that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
Section 6.3 Adequate Protection. The Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the representative(s) of each future series or class of Second Priority Claims, agree that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties for adequate protection or (b) any objection by the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding which objection is based on the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing contained in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of their cash collateral under section 363 or section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, then the Trustee, on behalf of itself or any of the Noteholders, and the representative(s) of each future series or class of Second Priority Claims, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is junior in priority to the Lender Liens and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are junior in priority to the Lender Claims and Lender Liens under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event the Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, or any other holder of other Second Priority Claims, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Trustee, on behalf of itself or any of the Noteholders, and the holders of all other Second Priority Claims, agree that the Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Claims shall be junior in priority to the Liens on such collateral securing the Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are junior in priority to such Lender Claims under this Agreement.
Section 6.4 No Waiver; Voting Rights. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Trustee or any of the Noteholders or any holders of other Second Priority Claims, including the seeking by any of them of adequate protection or the asserting by any of them of any of their rights and remedies under the Noteholder Documents (or any comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) or otherwise. In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Trustee nor any Noteholder, nor any holder of any other Second Priority Claims, shall vote any Second Priority Claim for any plan of reorganization of any Obligor unless (i) such plan provides for the payment in full in cash of all Lender Claims on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, (ii) such plan provides for treatment of the Lender Claims in a manner that would result in such Lender Claims having relative lien (or, if the obligations, property or assets to be distributed in respect of the Lender Claims under such plan are unsecured,
12
other) priority over the Second Priority Claims to at least the same extent as if such obligations, property or assets were secured by Liens and subject to Section 6.6, whether or not such obligations, property or assets are, in fact, secured by any such Liens, and (iii) the plan otherwise provides treatment of the Lender Claims in a manner approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders.
Section 6.5 Preference Issues. If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount as a preference (a "Recovery"), then the Lender Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to a Discharge of Lender Claims with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
Section 6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Liquidation or Insolvency 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 Lender Claims and on account of Second Priority Claims, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Lender Claims and on account of the Second Priority Claims 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.
Section 6.7 Expense Claims. Neither the Trustee nor any Noteholder nor any holder of any other Second Priority Claims will assert or enforce, at any time prior to the Discharge of Lender Claims, any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Lender Liens for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.
Section 6.8 Post-Petition Claims. (a) Neither the Trustee nor any Noteholder nor any holder of any other Second Priority Claims shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Lender Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lender Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien on the Collateral securing Second Priority Claims.
(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any holder of Second Priority Claims for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the Collateral securing Second Priority Claims (after taking into account the Lender Liens).

Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
Section 7.1 Reliance. The consent by the Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Noteholder Documents (or any comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) and the grant to the Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, and each representative of any future series or class of Second Priority Claims, on behalf of such future creditors, of a Lien on the Collateral and all loans and other extensions of credit continued, made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Secured Parties to the Company shall be deemed to have been given and continued or made in reliance upon this Agreement. The Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, and the holders of all future Second Priority Claims, either directly or through their representative(s), acknowledge that they have, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Indenture or any other applicable Noteholder Document (or comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims), this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Indenture, any such other Noteholder Document (or comparable document governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims) or this Agreement.

The Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit to the Company in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Trustee, any of the Noteholders, or any holders of other Second Priority Claims or their representative(s) have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any duty to the Trustee, any of the Noteholders, or any holders of other Second Priority Claims or their representative(s) 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 the Company (including the Noteholder Documents or comparable documents governing any other series or class of Second Priority Claims), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.
Section 7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
