ARTICLE II
Subordination of Junior Liens; Certain Agreements
SECTION 2.01. Subordination of Junior Liens. (a) Notwithstanding the date, manner or
order of creation, attachment, or perfection of the security interests and Liens granted to the ABL
Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trustee,
and notwithstanding any provisions of the UCC, or any applicable law or decision or this Agreement,
the ABL Documents, the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents, the Subordinated Lien
Documents or any other agreement or instrument to the contrary, or whether and irrespective of
whether any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party holds possession of all or any part of the
Collateral or of the time or any failure, defect or deficiency or alleged failure, defect or
deficiency in any of the foregoing or of any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third
party or court of competent jurisdiction of the Senior Liens, all Junior Liens in respect of any
Collateral are expressly subordinated and made junior in right, priority, operation and effect to
any and all Senior Liens in respect of such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, the following shall be the relative priority of the security interests and Liens
of the ABL Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Trustee, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
(on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties) and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee (on behalf
of the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties) in the Collateral:
(A) The ABL Collateral Agent (on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties) shall have a
first priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral; the First Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of
the First Lien Secured Parties) shall have a second priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral;
the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties) shall have
a third priority Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral; and the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trustee
(on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties) shall have a fourth priority Lien on the ABL
Priority Collateral; and
(B) The First Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties)
shall have a first priority Lien on the Note Priority Collateral; each of the ABL Collateral Agent
(on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties) and the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of
the Second Lien Secured Parties) shall have a second priority Lien on the Note Priority Collateral;
and the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Secured Parties)
shall have a third priority Lien on the Note Priority Collateral.
(b) It is acknowledged that (i) the aggregate amount of the Senior Secured Obligations may,
subject to the limitations set forth in the ABL Documents, the First Lien Documents, the Second
Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, be increased from time to time, (ii) all or a
portion of the ABL Obligations consists or may consist
of Indebtedness that is revolving in nature, and the amount thereof that may be outstanding at
any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and (iii)
the Senior Secured Obligations may, subject to the limitations set forth in the ABL Documents, the
First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, be increased,
extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, refinanced or
otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the subordination of the
Junior Liens hereunder or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the ABL
Secured Parties, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Second Lien Secured Parties and the
Subordinated Lien Secured Parties. The lien priorities provided for herein shall not be altered or
otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, increase, replacement,
renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the Junior Secured Obligations (or any part thereof)
or the Senior Secured Obligations (or any part thereof), by the release of any Collateral or of any
guarantees for any Senior Secured Obligations or by any action that any Representative or Secured
Party may take or fail to take in respect of any Collateral.
(c) The subordination of all Junior Liens to all Senior Liens as set forth in this Agreement
is with respect to only the priority of the Liens held by or on behalf of the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties and shall not constitute a subordination of the Obligations owing to
any Secured Party to the Obligations owing to any other Secured Party.
(d) The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Collateral held by each
Agent is identical in all material respects to the Collateral held by each other Agent. In
furtherance of the foregoing and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
(1) upon request by any Agent, such parties shall cooperate in good faith (and
direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the
specific items included in the Collateral held by each Agent, the steps taken to perfect the Liens
thereon and the identity of the Grantors; and
(2) that the ABL Security Documents, the First Lien Security Documents, the Second
Lien Security Documents and the Subordinated Lien Security Documents shall be in all material
respects the same forms of documents; and the guarantees issued with respect to the ABL
Obligations, the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Obligations and the Subordinated Lien
Obligations shall contain the same material provisions with respect to waivers of the guarantors’
rights, the discharge thereof, reinstatement thereof and the release of guarantors thereunder.
SECTION 2.02. New Liens. Until the Senior Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in
Full, (i) each Agent agrees, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, that no Agent, on behalf

assets are not also subject to a Lien in favor of each other Agent on behalf of the applicable
Secured Parties and (ii) each Grantor agrees not to grant any Lien on any of its assets in favor of
any Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, unless it has granted a Lien on such assets

to the extent that the assets subject to such Liens are not required to be pledged as Collateral
for the respective Obligations to the extent provided in the ABL Documents, the First Lien
Documents, the Second Lien Documents or the Subordinated Lien Documents, as the case may be). If
any Agent shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire any Lien on any assets of any Grantor to
secure any Obligations, which assets are not also subject to a Lien in favor of each other Agent to
secure the applicable Obligations, then the Agent acquiring such Lien shall, without the need for
any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any
Security Documents, either (x) release such Lien or (y) (1) also hold and be deemed to have held
such Lien for the
benefit of each other Agent and Secured Parties subject to the priorities set forth herein,
with any amounts received in respect thereof subject to distribution and turnover hereunder and (2)
in the case of the Junior Representative acquiring a Lien, assign such Lien to the Senior
Representative to secure the Senior Secured Obligations (in which case the Junior Representative
may retain a Junior Lien on such assets subject to the terms hereof).
SECTION 2.03. No Action With Respect to Junior Secured Obligations Collateral Subject to
Senior Liens. (a) Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 2.07, no Junior
Representative or other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall commence or instruct any
Junior Representative to commence any Enforcement Action available to it in respect of any Junior
Secured Obligations Collateral under any Junior Secured Obligations Security Document, applicable
law or otherwise, at any time when such Junior Secured Obligations Collateral shall be subject to
any Senior Lien and any Sepnior Secured Obligations secured by such Senior Lien shall remain
outstanding or any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations
secured by such Senior Lien shall remain in effect, it being agreed that only the Senior
Representative, acting in accordance with the applicable Senior Secured Obligations Security
Documents, shall be entitled to take any Enforcement Actions. The Senior Representative shall
provide written notice to each Junior Representative in the event that the Senior Representative
takes any Enforcement Action; provided, however, that failure to give such notice
shall not affect the lien subordination or other rights of the Senior Representative under this
Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each of the Agents retains
the right to:
(A) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations, the
First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Obligations or the Subordinated Lien Obligations, as
applicable, in any case or proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code

similar nature for the reorganization, protection, restructuring, compromise or arrangement of any
of the assets and/or liabilities of any Grantor or any similar case or proceeding, as applicable,

Senior Representative, or the rights of any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations
Secured Party, to exercise any Enforcement Action in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect,
preserve or protect its Liens on any of the Collateral,
(C) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in
opposition to any motion, claim, or other pleading objecting to or otherwise seeking the
disallowance of the claims of such Agent or any of the Secured Parties for whom it acts as
Agent, in either case, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement,
(D) to the extent such holders acknowledge that such holders hold an unsecured
claim, file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests
available to unsecured creditors of any Grantors arising under any case or proceeding referred to
in clause (A) above, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, and
(E) vote in favor of or against any plan of reorganization, compromise or
arrangement, or file any proof of claim, make other filings and/or make any arguments and motions
with respect to the ABL Obligations, the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Obligations or the
Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, that in each case, are not inconsistent with the
terms of this Agreement.
(c) Upon the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations, the Subordinated Lien Collateral
Trustee (acting on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, the Second Lien Secured Parties and the
Subordinated Lien Secured Parties), acting on a Joint Instruction, may commence any judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator
or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any
right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take
any action to enforce its interest in or
realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, the Note Priority Collateral
under any applicable Security Document, applicable law or otherwise.

released prior to or concurrently with such Disposition and Payment In Full) or (ii) if the Senior
Representative shall be in possession of all or any part of such Collateral after such Payment in
Full, such Collateral or any part thereof remaining, in each case without representation or
warranty on the part of the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party.
(b) Prior to Payment In Full. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that until the Senior Secured Obligations secured
by any Collateral in respect of which such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party holds a Junior
Lien shall have been Paid In Full, the Senior Representative shall be entitled, for the benefit of
the holders of such Senior Secured Obligations, to Dispose of or deal with such Collateral as
provided herein and in the Senior Secured Obligations Security Documents without regard to any
Junior Lien or any rights to which the holders of the Junior Secured Obligations would otherwise be
entitled as a result of such Junior Lien. Such permitted actions shall include the rights of an
agent appointed by the Senior Representative and Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties to
Dispose of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in
connection with such Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor
under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Code or
the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Party agrees that neither the Senior Representative nor any other Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize
upon any type of Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any other collateral securing the Senior
Secured Obligations), or to Dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral
(or any other Collateral securing the Senior Secured Obligations), in any manner that would
maximize the return to the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the
order and timing of any such Disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually
received by the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties from such Disposition or liquidation.
(c) Waiver. Each of the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties waives any claim
such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party may now or hereafter have against the Senior
Representative or any other Senior Secured Obligations Secured Party (or their representatives)

any security for the Senior Secured Obligations, (ii) any election by the Senior Representative or

subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

outstanding or any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Secured Obligations
secured or intended to be secured by such Senior Lien remains in effect, then it will segregate and
hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the Senior Representative and the Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as
the case may be, to the Senior Representative.
(e) Each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that if, at any time, all or part
of any payment with respect to any Senior Secured Obligations previously made shall be rescinded or
required to be returned or repaid for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for
disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of
any claim in respect thereof), such Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party shall promptly pay
over to the Senior Representative any payment received by it and then in its possession or under
its control in respect of any Collateral subject to any Senior Lien securing such Senior Secured
Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Senior Lien then held by it
over to the Senior Representative, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be
reinstated in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made, until the payment and
satisfaction in full of the Senior Secured Obligations.
SECTION 2.06. Automatic Release of Junior Liens. (a) The Junior Representative and
each other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agree to the following with respect to releases
of Liens: (1) in the event of any Disposition permitted under the Senior Documents and not
expressly prohibited under the terms of the Junior Documents of any Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral subject to any Junior Lien (other than in connection with (x) the exercise of remedies
by the Senior Representative in respect of such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, (y) the
Payment in Full of the Senior Secured Obligations, or (z) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default under any Senior Document or Junior Document), such Junior Lien
on such Collateral shall automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously be released if the
applicable Senior Liens on such Collateral are released; and (2) notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any Disposition that occurs in
connection with the foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, Senior Secured
Obligations Collateral subject to any Junior Lien, such Junior Lien on such Collateral shall
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously be released if the applicable Senior Liens on
such Collateral are released (except with respect to any proceeds of such Disposition that remain
after Payment in Full of the Senior Secured Obligations).
(b) The Junior Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of
the Grantors) all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the
Senior Representative to evidence and confirm any release of Junior Secured Obligations Collateral
provided for in this Section.
SECTION 2.07. Certain Agreements With Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceedings. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the
commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against any Grantor. All references in
this Agreement to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver
or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
(a) If any Grantor becomes subject to a case under the Bankruptcy Code and, as
debtor(s)-in-possession, moves for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be
provided
by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the
use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Junior Secured Obligations
Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the
Senior Secured Obligations Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any
use of cash collateral that constitutes Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, unless the Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties, oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or
use of cash collateral (and, to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank
pari passu with, the Senior Liens, the Junior Representative will, on behalf of the Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties, subordinate the Junior Liens on the Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral to the Senior Liens and the DIP Financing Liens), so long as the Junior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties retain Liens on all the Junior Secured Obligations Collateral to the
extent permitted by applicable law, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of
such proceeding, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the
Bankruptcy Code. For the avoidance of doubt, any DIP Financing Liens on any ABL Priority
Collateral shall not apply automatically to any Note Priority Collateral, and any DIP Financing
Liens on any Note Priority Collateral shall not apply automatically to any ABL Priority Collateral.
(b) Each Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party agrees that it will not object to or
oppose a Disposition of any Senior Secured Obligations Collateral (or any portion thereof) under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties shall have consented to such Disposition of such Senior Secured
Obligations Collateral, so long as the Liens held by the Junior Representative on such Collateral
attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Each Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for whom it acts
as agent, may seek adequate protection of its interest in its respective Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral in the form of replacement Liens on post-petition collateral of the same type as the
Senior Secured Obligations Collateral so long as the Senior Secured Obligations Secured
Parties have been granted such replacement Liens on such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, and
agrees that it shall not contest or support any other Person contesting any request for such Liens.
Each Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for whom it acts as agent, may seek
adequate protection of its junior interest in the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, subject to
the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that if (A) the Senior Representative is
granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on post-petition collateral of the
same type as the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, and (B) such adequate protection requested
by the Junior Representative is in the form of a replacement Lien on such post-petition collateral
of the same type as the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, such Lien, if granted, will be
subordinated to the adequate protection Liens granted in favor of the Senior Representative on such
post-petition collateral, and, if applicable, the
Liens securing any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) secured by such Senior
Secured Obligations Collateral and provided by the Senior Representative or one or more Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties on the same basis as the Liens of the Junior Representative on
such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral are subordinated to the Liens of the Senior
Representative on such Senior Secured Obligations Collateral under this Agreement. In the event
that a Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for whom it acts as
agent, seeks or requests (or is otherwise granted) adequate protection of its junior interest in
the Collateral in the form of a replacement Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as such
Collateral, then such Junior Representative, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for whom
it acts as Agent, agrees that the Senior Representative for such type of Collateral shall also be
granted a replacement Lien on such post-petition assets as adequate protection of its senior
interest in such type of Collateral and that the Junior Representative’s replacement Lien shall be
subordinated to the replacement Lien of the Senior Representative. If any Agent or Secured Party
receives as adequate protection a Lien on post-petition assets of the same type as its pre-petition
Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, then such post-petition assets shall also constitute Senior
Secured Obligations Collateral of such Person to the extent of any allowed claim secured by such
adequate protection Lien and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Each Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties for whom it acts as Agent,
agrees that none of them shall (i) seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Collateral which does not constitute its
Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Senior
Representative, or (ii) oppose any request by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Party to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of their respective Senior Secured Obligations
Collateral.
SECTION 2.08. [Reserved].
SECTION 2.09. Entry Upon Premises.
(a) Rights to Enter Upon Premises. If (i) the Senior Representative in respect of
the ABL Priority Collateral takes any Enforcement Action with respect to the ABL Priority
Collateral, (ii) the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral acquires an
ownership or possessory interest in any of the Note Priority Collateral pursuant to the exercise of
its rights under the applicable Security Documents or under applicable law or (iii) the Senior
Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral shall, through the exercise of remedies
under the applicable Security Documents or otherwise, sell any of the Note Priority Collateral to
any third party (a “Third Party Purchaser”) as permitted by the terms of this Agreement,
then, subject to the rights of any landlords under real estate leases and to the limitations and
restrictions with respect to use of and entry upon the premises as set forth in the applicable
Collateral Access Agreements, the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the Note
Priority Collateral shall or, in the case of clause (iii) shall require as a condition of such sale
to the Third Party Purchaser that the Third Party Purchaser shall: (x) cooperate with the Senior
Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (and its employees, agents, advisors and
representatives) in its efforts to enforce its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and
to finish any work-in-process and assemble the ABL Priority Collateral, (y) not hinder or restrict
in any respect the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral from enforcing
its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral or from finishing any work-in-process or
assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, and (z) permit the Senior Representative in respect of the
ABL Priority Collateral, its employees, agents, advisors and representatives, at the sole cost and
expense of the Grantors (or, failing payment thereof by the Grantors, of the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral) to enter upon and use the
Note Priority Collateral (including (A) equipment, processors, computers and other machinery
related to the storage or processing of
records, documents or files and (B) intellectual property), in each case of preceding clauses
(x), (y) and (z) for a period not to exceed 180 days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date the
Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral receives written notice from the
Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral that (I) it has acquired an
ownership or possessory interest in any of the Note Priority Collateral pursuant to the exercise of
its rights under the Senior Secured Obligations Security Documents in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral or under applicable law or (II) it shall have, through the exercise of remedies under
the Senior Secured Obligations Security Documents in respect of the Note Priority Collateral or
otherwise, sold any of the Note Priority Collateral to a Third Party Purchaser as permitted by the
terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the date the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral first enforces its security interests in the ABL Priority Collateral located on the
premises included in the Note Priority Collateral (such period, the “Disposition Period”)
for the purposes of:
(1) inspecting, removing or enforcing the Senior Representative in respect of the
ABL Priority Collateral’s rights in the ABL Priority Collateral,
(2) assembling and storing the ABL Priority Collateral and completing the processing
of and turning into finished goods of any ABL Priority Collateral consisting of work-in-process or
raw materials,
(3) selling any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Note Priority
Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or
otherwise,
(4) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Note Priority
Collateral,
(5) to use any of the Collateral under the control or possession of the Senior
Representative (or sold to a Third Party Purchaser) in respect of the Note Priority Collateral
consisting of computers or other data processing equipment related to the storage or processing of
records, documents or files pertaining to the ABL Priority Collateral and use any Collateral under
such control or possession (or sold to a Third Party Purchaser) consisting of other equipment to
handle or Dispose of any ABL Priority Collateral, or
(6) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure, and otherwise enforce the rights
of the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral and the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral in and to the ABL Priority
Collateral;
; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement will restrict the
rights of the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral from selling,
assigning or otherwise transferring any Note Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the
Disposition Period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the
applicable provisions of this Agreement. If any stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of
remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent
jurisdiction or is in effect due to an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Disposition Period
shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. If the Senior Representative
in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral conducts a public auction or private sale of the ABL
Priority Collateral at any of the real property included within the Note Priority Collateral, such
Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral shall provide the Senior
Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral with reasonable notice and use reasonable
efforts to hold such auction or sale
in a manner which would not unduly disrupt such Senior Representative in respect of the Note
Priority Collateral’s use of such real property.
(b) License. The Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral,
on behalf of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral, irrevocably grants (or shall require as a condition of a sale to a Third Party
Purchaser that the Third Party Purchaser grants) the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral a non-exclusive worldwide license to or right to use, to the extent permitted
by law and any applicable contractual obligations binding on the Note Priority Collateral, and
solely to the extent the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral (or the
Third Party Purchaser, as applicable) has an ownership interest therein or other assignable right
of use thereto, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, any of the
intellectual property now or hereafter owned by, licensed to, or otherwise used by any of the
Grantors or their subsidiaries in order for the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral and the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral to purchase, use, market, repossess, possess, store, assemble, manufacture,
process, sell, transfer, distribute or otherwise Dispose of any inventory included in the ABL
Priority Collateral in connection with the liquidation, disposition, foreclosure or realization
upon the inventory included in the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms of the
Senior Secured Obligations Security Documents in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral. The Senior
Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral (or the Third Party Purchaser, as
applicable) will agree that any of the intellectual property constituting Note Priority Collateral
that is sold, transferred or otherwise Disposed of (whether pursuant to
enforcement action or
otherwise) will be subject to rights of the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral as described above.
(c) Expenses and Repair. During the period of actual occupation, use or control by
the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or their
agents or representatives of any Note Priority Collateral, such Senior Secured Obligations Secured
Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral will (i) be responsible for the ordinary course
third-party expenses related thereto, including costs with respect to heat, light, electricity,
water and real property taxes with respect to that portion of any premises so used or occupied, in
each case to the extent not paid for by the Grantors or any of their subsidiaries, and (ii) be
obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Note Priority Collateral or other
assets or property resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Note Priority
Collateral or other assets or property in substantially the same condition as it was at the
commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in each case to
the extent not paid for by the Grantors or any of their subsidiaries.
(d) Indemnification. The Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of
the ABL Priority Collateral shall agree to pay, indemnify and hold the Senior Representative in
respect of the Note Priority Collateral and the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in
respect of the Note Priority Collateral harmless from and against any third-party liability
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Secured Obligations Secured
Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or any of their agents, representatives or
invitees (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision) in its or their operation of such facilities, in each case to the extent not paid for by
the Grantors or any of their subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral have any
liability to the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral or the Senior
Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the Note Priority Collateral pursuant to this
Agreement as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability)
on or with respect to the Note Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by
the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral of their rights under this
Agreement and the Senior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in respect of
the ABL Priority Collateral will not have any duty or liability to maintain the Note Priority
Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use
thereof by them, or for any damage to or diminution in the value of the Note Priority Collateral
that results solely from removal of any ABL Priority Collateral from the premises or the ordinary
wear and tear resulting from the use of the Note Priority Collateral by such persons in the manner
and for the time periods specified under this Agreement.
SECTION 2.10. Insurance. Unless and until written notice by the Senior Representative
in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral to each Junior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral and the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral that
the Senior Secured Obligations in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral have been Paid In Full, as
between the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the one hand, and
each Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral and the Senior Representative
in respect of the Note Priority Collateral, on the other hand, only the Senior Representative in
respect of the ABL Priority Collateral will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors
under the Security Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or
constituting ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award
granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the ABL Priority Collateral. Unless
and until written notice by the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral to
each Junior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral and the Senior Representative
in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral that the Senior Secured Obligations in respect of the
Note Priority Collateral have been Paid In Full, as between each Junior Representative in respect
of the Note Priority Collateral and the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral, on the one hand, and the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral, on the other hand, only the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Security Documents)
to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting Note Priority Collateral in the
event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar
proceeding solely affecting the Note Priority Collateral. To the extent that an insured loss
covers or constitutes both ABL Priority Collateral and Note Priority Collateral, then the Senior
Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral and the Senior Representative in respect
of the Note Priority Collateral will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle
(subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Security Documents) under the relevant insurance
policy.
SECTION 2.11. Refinancings. The Obligations may be refinanced or replaced, in whole
or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is
otherwise required to permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document, First Lien
Document, Second Lien Document or Subordinated Lien Document) of any Secured Party, all without
affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein; provided, however, that the
holders of any such refinancing or replacement indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on
their behalf) bind themselves in writing to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to such documents
or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Senior Representative
in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Senior Representative in respect of the Note
Priority Collateral, as the case may be, shall reasonably request and in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral or the
Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral, as the case may be. In
connection with any refinancing or replacement contemplated by this Section 2.11, this Agreement
may be amended at the written request and sole expense of the Issuer (subject to the immediately
preceding sentence), and without the consent of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any
authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such refinancing or replacement indebtedness,
(b) to establish that Liens on any Note Priority Collateral securing such refinancing or
replacement indebtedness shall have the same priority as the Liens on any Note Priority Collateral
securing the indebtedness being refinanced or replaced, and (c) to establish that the Liens on any
ABL Priority Collateral securing such refinancing or replacement indebtedness shall have the same
priority as the Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral securing the indebtedness being refinanced or
replaced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such refinancing or
replacement.
SECTION 2.12. Rights of Grantors. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the
Grantors will have the right to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the
Collateral securing the Obligations (other than any cash, securities, obligations and cash
equivalents constituting part of the Collateral and deposited with any Agent in accordance with the
provisions of the Security Documents and other than as set forth in the Security Documents), to
freely operate the Collateral and to collect, invest and Dispose of any income therefrom.
SECTION 2.13. Amendments to Documents. In the event that the Senior Secured
Obligations Secured Parties or the Senior Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the Senior Secured Obligations Security Documents for the purpose of
making additions to the Senior Secured Obligations Collateral, then such amendment, waiver or
consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Junior Secured
Obligations Security Document as it relates to the Junior Secured Obligations Collateral without
the consent of the Junior Representative or any Junior Secured Obligations Secured Party and
without any action by the Junior Representative, the Issuer or any other Grantor; provided,
however, that written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to
the Junior Representative.
SECTION 2.14. Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. Each Agent, on
behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent such Agent or
any Secured Party for which it is acting as Agent exercises its rights of set-off against any
Collateral pursuant to an Enforcement Action, the amount of such set-off shall be held and
distributed pursuant to Section 2.05. Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
applicable Secured Parties, further agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
prior to the issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, any proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under account control agreements,
which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as
between the Agents and the Secured Parties) be treated as proceeds of Collateral for purposes of
determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In furtherance of the
foregoing, any proceeds of Note Priority Collateral received after the earlier of the issuance of
an Enforcement Notice by any Senior Representative with respect to the Note Priority Collateral or
the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, whether or not deposited in any
deposit accounts or securities accounts that constitute ABL Priority Collateral shall be treated as
Note Priority Collateral. In addition, unless and until the Payment in Full of ABL Obligations
occurs, each Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral hereby consents to the
application, prior to the earlier of receipt by the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral of an Enforcement Notice issued by any Junior Agent in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, of cash or
other proceeds of Collateral, deposited under account control agreements to the repayment of ABL
Obligations pursuant to the ABL Documents.
SECTION 2.15. Legends. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each Security
Document shall (and, to the extent already in existence, shall be amended to) include a legend
describing this Agreement and any other applicable intercreditor and/or subordination agreement.
ARTICLE III
Gratuitous Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests; Rights
Under Permits and Licenses
Under Permits and Licenses
SECTION 3.01. General. The Senior Representative agrees that if it shall at any time
hold a Senior Lien on any Junior Secured Obligations Collateral that can be perfected by the
possession or control of such Collateral or of any account in which such Collateral is held, and if
such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Senior
Representative, the Senior Representative will serve as gratuitous bailee for the Junior
Representative for the sole purpose of perfecting the Junior Lien of the Junior Representative on
such Collateral. It is agreed that the obligations of the Senior Representative and the rights of
the Junior Representative and the other Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties in connection
with any such bailment arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of Article
II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Senior Representative will be deemed
to make no representation as to the adequacy of the steps taken by it to
perfect the Junior Lien on any such Collateral and shall have no responsibility, duty,
obligation or liability to the Junior Representative or other Junior Secured Obligations Secured
Party or any other person for such perfection or failure to perfect, it being understood that the
sole purpose of this Article III is to enable the Junior Secured Obligations Secured Parties to
obtain a perfected Junior Lien on such Collateral to the extent, if any, that such perfection
results from the possession or control of such Collateral or any such account by the Senior
Representative. Subject to Section 2.05(e), at such time as the Senior Secured Obligations
secured by the Senior Lien of the Senior Representative shall have been Paid in Full, the Senior
Representative shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the
Junior Representative with the highest priority claim with respect to the applicable Collateral (at
the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or
any such account (in each case to the extent the Junior Representative has a Lien on such
Collateral or account after giving effect to any prior or concurrent releases of Liens) to the
Junior Representative.
SECTION 3.02. Deposit Accounts. The Grantors, to the extent required by the ABL
Documents, the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents or the Subordinated Lien Documents,
may from time to time have deposit accounts (the “Deposit Accounts”) with certain
depositary banks in which collections from Inventory and Accounts (each, as defined in the UCC) may
be deposited. To the extent that any such Deposit Account is under the control of any Agent at any
time, such Agent will act as gratuitous bailee for the other Agents and Secured Parties for the
purpose of perfecting the Liens of the applicable Secured Parties in such Deposit Accounts and the
cash and other assets therein as provided in Section 3.01 (but will have no duty,
responsibility or obligation to such other Agents or Secured Parties (including any duty,
responsibility or obligation as to the maintenance of such control, the effect of such arrangement
or the establishment of such perfection) except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section
3.02). Unless the Junior Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral shall have been or concurrently are released,
after the Obligations for which the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral serves as agent have been Paid in Full, such Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral shall (a) to the extent that the same are then under the sole dominion and
control of such Representative and that such action is otherwise within the power and authority of
such Representative pursuant to the applicable Documents, at the written request of any Junior
Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, transfer control over all cash and other
assets in any such Deposit Account maintained with such Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral to the Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral with the
then-highest priority claim to the ABL Priority Collateral (and each Grantor hereby authorizes and
consents to any such transfer) and (b) at the written request of such Junior Representative in
respect of the ABL Priority Collateral with the then-highest priority claim, cooperate with the
Issuer and such Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral with the
then-highest priority claim (at the expense of the Issuer) in permitting control of any other
Deposit Accounts to be transferred to such Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral with the then-highest priority claim (or for other arrangements with respect to each
such Deposit Accounts satisfactory to such Junior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral with the then-highest priority claim to be made). In furtherance of the foregoing, each
Agent (the “Appointing Agent”) hereby appoints each other Agent as its agent solely for perfection
of such Appointing Agent’s Lien on each Deposit Account that is under the control of such other
Agent, and each such other Agent accepts such appointment.
SECTION 3.03. Rights under Permits and Licenses. In addition to the license granted
under Section 2.09(b), the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral
agrees that if the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral shall require
rights available under any permit or license controlled by the Senior Representative in respect of
the Note Priority Collateral (as certified to the Senior Representative in respect of the Note
Priority Collateral by the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral, upon
which the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral may rely) in order to
realize on any ABL Priority Collateral, the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral shall (subject to the terms of ABL Documents, the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien
Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, including the Senior Representative in respect of
the Note Priority Collateral’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall
be available to it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and
contractual obligations and reasonably requested by the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL
Priority Collateral in writing, to make such rights available to the Senior Representative in
respect of
the ABL Priority Collateral, subject to the Senior Liens in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral. The Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral agrees that if the
Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral shall require rights available
under any permit or license controlled by the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral (as certified to the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral by
the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority Collateral, upon which the Senior
Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral may rely) in order to realize on any Note
Priority Collateral, the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral shall
(subject to the terms of ABL Documents, the First Lien Documents, the Second Lien Documents and the
Subordinated Lien Documents, including the Senior Representative in respect of the ABL Priority
Collateral’s rights to indemnification thereunder) take all such actions as shall be available to
it (at the sole expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law and contractual
obligations and reasonably requested by the Senior Representative in respect of the Note Priority
Collateral in writing, to make such rights available to the Senior Representative in respect of the
Note Priority Collateral, subject to the Senior Liens in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral.
ARTICLE IV
Existence and Amount of Liens and Obligations
Whenever a Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the
performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Senior
Secured Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute
Senior Secured Obligations) or Junior Secured Obligations, or the existence of any Lien securing
any such obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such
information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representative and shall be entitled to make
such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however,
that if a Representative shall fail or refuse to reasonably promptly provide the requested
information, the requesting Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such
method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by conclusive
reliance upon an officer’s certificate of the Issuer. Each Representative may rely conclusively,
and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the
provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent
jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other Person as
a result of such determination.
ARTICLE V
Consent of Grantors
Each Grantor hereby consents to the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor
arrangements provided for herein and agrees that the obligations of the Grantors under the Security
Documents will in no way be diminished or otherwise affected by such provisions or arrangements
(except as expressly provided herein).
ARTICLE VI
Representations and Warranties
SECTION 6.01. Representations and Warranties of Each Party. Each party hereto
represents and warrants to the other parties hereto as follows:
(a) Such party is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its organization and has all requisite power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such party and constitutes a

Lien Documents. Any amendment of this Agreement that is proposed to be effected without the

extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision
in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of

proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all

irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

provided for notices in Section 4.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of
any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO
(A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS
IN THIS SECTION.

substantially in the form of Exhibit A, such subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and
delivery of any such instruments shall not require the consent of any other Grantor or any other
Secured Party. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and
