ARTICLE 2
PRIORITIES AND AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL

Section 2.01. Subordination of Liens.

(a) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Parity Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the ABL Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the ABL Facility Documents or the Parity Lien Documents, or any defect or deficiencies in or failure to perfect any such Liens or any other circumstance whatsoever:

(i) (1) the Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral securing the Parity Lien Obligations will rank senior to any Liens on such Notes Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, and (2) the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL

Obligations will rank senior to any Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing the Parity Lien Obligations, and

(ii) the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Note Secured Parties, and each Other Parity Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the applicable Other Parity Lien Secured Parties, each hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of Parity Lien Obligations shall be of equal priority (except as may be separately otherwise agreed in writing by and between the Other Parity Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the Other Parity Lien Secured Parties represented thereby, and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Note Secured Parties and any Other Parity Lien Secured Parties with Other Parity Lien Obligations secured equally with the Note Obligations); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to alter the relative rights or priorities of the various Series of Parity Lien Obligations against each other Series of Parity Lien Obligations, which rights and priorities shall be governed by the Parity Lien Documents and the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(b) It is acknowledged that (i) the aggregate amount of any Senior Obligations may, subject to the limitations set forth in the ABL Facility, the Note Indenture and any Other Parity Lien Credit Documents, be Refinanced from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.05 or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, and (ii) a portion of the Senior 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. The priorities provided for herein shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any Refinancing of either the Junior Obligations (or any part thereof) or the Senior Obligations (or any part thereof), by the release of any Collateral or of any guarantees for any Junior Obligations or Senior Obligations or by any action that any Representative or Secured Party may take or fail to take in respect of any Collateral.

Section 2.02. Actions With Respect to Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens. (a) Until the Discharge of all of the Senior Obligations of a particular Class, (i) only the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Senior Collateral of such Class and then only on the instructions of the applicable Senior Representative (which, in the case of the Notes Priority Collateral, shall be the Applicable Parity Lien Representative), (ii) no Collateral Agent shall follow any instructions with respect to such Senior Collateral from any Junior Representative or from any Junior Secured Parties, and (iii) each Junior Representative and the Junior Secured Parties shall not, and shall not instruct any Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial 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, any Junior Collateral, whether under any ABL Facility Security Document or any Parity Lien Security Document, as applicable, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that (A) only the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the ABL Facility Security Documents or the Parity Lien Security Documents, as applicable,

shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies, or to cause any Collateral Agent to do so and (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, each Junior Representative may take Permitted Remedies. Each Senior Collateral Agent may deal with the Senior Collateral as if they had a senior Lien on such Collateral; provided that, with respect to the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement shall also be complied with. No Junior Collateral Agent, Junior Representative or Junior Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any Senior Collateral Agent, Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party or any other exercise by such Senior Collateral Agent, Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Senior Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit (i) the exercise of rights by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent during a Dominion Period (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), including the notification of depositary institutions or any other person to deliver proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, (ii) the reduction of advance rates or sub-limits under the ABL Facility or (iii) the imposition of any Reserve (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement).

(b) Each of the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the other Parity Lien Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the ABL Facility Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement, and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and each of the ABL Facility Secured Parties each agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Parity Lien Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, the Applicable Parity Lien Representative or the other Parity Lien Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.

(c) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee for itself and on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice (unless a bankruptcy or insolvency Event of Default then exists), any proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited in deposit accounts subject to control agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Collateral 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any Parity Lien Document, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, if an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced with respect to any of the Grantors, or a notice of an Enforcement Action is delivered by the Applicable Parity Lien Representative to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent is hereby permitted to deem all collections and payments deposited in any deposit or securities account to

be Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and each other Parity Lien Secured Party, consents to the application of such funds to the ABL Obligations, and no such funds credited to such account shall be subject to disgorgement or be deemed to be held in trust by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent for the benefit of any Parity Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Parity Lien Secured Party.

(d) The parties hereto agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver a Memorandum of Intercreditor Agreement (“Memorandum”) together with such other documents in furtherance hereof or thereof, in each case, in form for recording as prepared by the Issuers in connection with any Mortgages and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, in those jurisdictions where such recording is required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Facility Documents or the Parity Lien Documents, or as reasonably recommended or requested by local real estate counsel and/or the title insurance company, or as otherwise deemed reasonably necessary or proper by the parties hereto; provided that, the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and the Parity Lien Representative shall not have a duty to determine what recordings are necessary or proper.

Section 2.03. No Duties of Senior Representative; Provision of Notice. (a) Each Junior Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that none of the Senior Collateral Agents, the Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duties or other obligations to such Junior Secured Party with respect to any Senior Collateral, other than to transfer to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent any proceeds of any such Senior Collateral remaining in its possession following any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral (in each case, unless the Junior Obligations have been Discharged prior to or concurrently with such sale, transfer, disposition, payment or satisfaction) and the Discharge of the Senior Obligations secured thereby, or if a Senior Collateral Agent shall be in possession of all or any part of such Collateral after such payment and satisfaction in full and termination, such Collateral or any part thereof remaining, in each case without representation or warranty on the part of any Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Junior Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that, until the Senior Obligations secured by any Collateral shall have been Discharged, the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Obligations, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with such Senior Collateral as provided herein and in the ABL Facility Documents and any Parity Lien Documents, as applicable, without regard to any Junior Claims or any rights to which the holders of the Junior Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Junior Claims. Without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Secured Party agrees that none of the Senior Collateral Agents, the Senior Representatives nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Senior Collateral (or any other collateral securing the Senior Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Collateral (or any other collateral securing the Senior Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Junior Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Junior Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Junior Secured Parties waives any claim such Junior Secured Party may now or

hereafter have against any Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of (i) any actions which any Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or the Senior Secured Parties take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the ABL Facility Documents and the Parity Lien Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Senior Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Senior Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.07, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

(b) The Parity Lien Collateral Trustee shall, after a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Indenture) of the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee obtains actual knowledge that it is no longer authorized by the Applicable Parity Lien Representative to act as the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee hereunder, notify the Borrower, the Other Parity Lien Representatives and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent of the same. The parties are authorized to execute and deliver amendments to this Agreement without the consent of the Secured Parties in order to reflect this Section 2.03(b).

Section 2.04. No Interference. Each Junior Secured Party, each Junior Representative and each Junior Collateral Agent agrees that (i) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to make any Junior Claim pari passu with, or to give such Junior Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, any Senior Claim with respect to the Senior Collateral or any part thereof, (ii) it will not challenge or question in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any ABL Facility Security Document or Parity Lien Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under the ABL Facility Security Documents or the Parity Lien Security Documents, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by or other provisions of this Agreement, (iii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Senior Collateral by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Parties or any Senior Representative acting on their behalf, (iv) it shall have no right to (A) direct the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any holder of Senior Obligations to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Senior Collateral or (B) consent to the exercise by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Senior Collateral, (v) it will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding any claim against the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with

respect to, and none of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party with respect to any Senior Collateral, (vi) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Senior Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral and (vii) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, the other ABL Facility Secured Parties, the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee or the other Parity Lien Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.

Section 2.05. Application of Proceeds; Payments Over. (a) Anything contained herein or in any of the ABL Facility Documents or the Parity Lien Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Collateral (whether in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), or any distribution is made in respect of any Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, the Proceeds (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to Section 2.07 hereof) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral, all consideration distributed on account of any secured claim and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”) shall be applied as follows:

(i) In the case of Notes Priority Collateral,

FIRST, to the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee for distribution in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, until payment in full in cash of any Parity Lien Obligations secured by such Notes Priority Collateral, and

SECOND, to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with the ABL Facility Security Agreement and the other ABL Facility Documents.

If any ABL Obligations remain outstanding after the Discharge of the Parity Lien Obligations, all proceeds of the Notes Priority Collateral will be applied to the repayment of any outstanding ABL Obligations.

(ii) In the case of ABL Priority Collateral,

FIRST, to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with the ABL Facility Security Agreement and the other ABL Facility Documents, until payment in full in cash of the ABL Obligations, and

SECOND, to the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee for distribution in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Parity Lien Security Documents.

If any Parity Lien Obligations remain outstanding after the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, all proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral will be applied to the repayment of any outstanding Parity Lien Obligations.

(b) Each Junior Collateral Agent, each Junior Representative and each Junior Secured Party hereby agrees that, if it shall obtain possession of any Senior Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Collateral, pursuant to any ABL Facility Security Document or Parity Lien Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies, at any time prior to the Discharge of the Senior Obligations, then it shall hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the Senior Secured Parties and transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent reasonably promptly after obtaining actual knowledge, or notice from the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, that it is in possession of such Collateral, proceeds or payment. Each Junior Secured Party agrees that if, at any time, it receives notice or obtains actual knowledge that all or part of any payment with respect to any Senior Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, such Junior Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent any payment received by it and then in its possession or under its control in respect of any Senior Collateral and shall promptly turn over any Senior Collateral then held by it over to the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the payment and satisfaction in full of the Senior Obligations.

Section 2.06. Automatic Release of Junior Liens. (a) The Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and each other Parity Lien Secured Party agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral in connection with the foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral or pursuant to a sale of ABL Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code consented to by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (including any sale or disposition conducted by the Issuers or any Note Guarantor at the direction or with the consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent following an Event of Default under the ABL Credit Agreement) that results in the release by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent of the Lien held by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent on such ABL Priority Collateral (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Parity Lien Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition), the Lien held by the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and each other Parity Lien Secured Party on such ABL Priority Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all holders of the Parity Lien Obligations shall be entitled to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition under this clause (a) that remain after Discharge of the ABL Obligations, and the Liens on such remaining proceeds securing the Parity Lien Obligations shall not be automatically released pursuant to this Section 2.06(a).

(b) The ABL Facility Collateral Agent and each other ABL Facility Secured Party agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any Notes Priority Collateral in connection with the foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies with respect to

such Notes Priority Collateral or pursuant to a sale of Notes Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code consented to by the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee that results in the release by the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and the other Parity Lien Secured Parties of the Lien held by them on such Notes Priority Collateral (regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the ABL Facility Documents at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition), the Lien held by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent on such Notes Priority Collateral shall be automatically released; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all holders of the ABL Obligations shall be entitled to any proceeds of a sale, transfer or other disposition under this clause (b) that remain after Discharge of all Parity Lien Obligations, and the Liens on such remaining proceeds securing the ABL Obligations shall not be automatically released pursuant to this Section 2.06(b).

(c) Each Junior Representative and each Junior Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the applicable Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the applicable Senior Representative or the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Junior Collateral provided for in this Section.

(d) If at any time any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Obligations delivers notice to each Junior Collateral Agent that any specified Senior Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the owner of such Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Parity Lien Documents and the ABL Facility Documents, to the extent the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent has consented to such sale, transfer or disposition, then the Liens in favor of the Junior Secured Parties upon such Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Senior Collateral are released and discharged. Upon delivery to each Junior Collateral Agent of a notice from the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent stating that any release of Liens securing or supporting the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Junior Collateral Agent’s release), each Junior Collateral Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, terminations statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms.

Section 2.07. Certain Agreements With Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. (a) 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 the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. This Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” for purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) If the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other similar law:

(i) if the ABL Facility Collateral Agent desires to permit any Grantor that is subject to a Bankruptcy Case, as debtor(s)-in-possession, and to move for the approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral, 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, then the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Secured Parties hereby agree not to object to any such financing or to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, unless the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such ABL Priority Collateral for the benefit of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, each Parity Lien Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the ABL Facility Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any ABL Facility Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such ABL Priority Collateral granted to secure the ABL Obligations of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, each Parity Lien Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Parity Lien Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such ABL Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such Bankruptcy Case as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case (but after giving effect to any subordination to the DIP Financing Liens), (B) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the ABL Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement, and (C) if any ABL Facility Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement; provided that the Parity Lien Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over Notes Priority Collateral unless such DIP Financing Liens are junior to the Liens of the Parity Lien Secured Parties on such Notes Priority Collateral; and provided further that the Parity Lien Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Parity Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Parity Lien Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral; and

(ii) if the Applicable Parity Lien Representative desires to permit any Grantor that is subject to a Bankruptcy Case, as debtor(s)-in-possession, and to move for the approval of a DIP Financing secured by a Lien on Notes Priority Collateral, to be provided by DIP Lenders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, then the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties hereby agree not to object to any such financing or to the DIP Financing Liens or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Notes Priority Collateral, unless the Applicable Parity Lien Representative shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral that constitutes Notes Priority Collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Notes Priority Collateral for the

benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, each ABL Facility Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Parity Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Parity Lien Secured Party constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Notes Priority Collateral granted to secure the Parity Lien Obligations of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, each ABL Facility Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Notes Priority Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the ABL Facility Secured Parties retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Notes Priority Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such Bankruptcy Case as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case (but after giving effect to any subordination to the DIP Financing Liens), (B) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Parity Lien Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement, and (C) if any Parity Lien Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of this Agreement; provided that the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over ABL Priority Collateral unless such DIP Financing Liens are junior to the Liens of the ABL Facility Secured Parties on such ABL Priority Collateral; and provided further that the ABL Facility Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other ABL Facility Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such ABL Facility Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parity Lien Secured Parties may not provide a DIP Financing secured by a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral that is senior or pari passu to the liens in the ABL Priority Lien securing the ABL Obligations.

(c) The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Party agrees that it will not object to and will not otherwise contest: (i) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of the Senior Obligations made by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party; (ii) any exercise by any holder of Senior Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Claims in any sale in foreclosure of Collateral that is Senior Collateral with respect to such Senior Claims; (iii) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on the Senior Collateral; (iv) any sale or other disposition of any Senior Collateral (or any portion thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Secured Parties of any Series shall have consented to such sale or disposition of such Senior Collateral; or (v) any order relating to a sale of assets of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries for which the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent has consented which provides that, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing such Obligations on the assets being sold, in accordance with this Agreement.

(d) The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Party agrees that it will not seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to Senior Collateral without the prior consent of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent except and to the extent that the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent has received relief from such stay.

(e) The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Party hereby agrees that it will not object to and will not otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting): (i) any request by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party for adequate protection or(ii) any objection by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (x) if the Senior 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 cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, so long as, with respect to the Senior Collateral, such Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), on the same basis as the other Liens securing Junior Obligations on the Senior Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on Senior Collateral securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (y) in the event the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and the Junior Secured Parties hereby agree that the Senior Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral that constitutes Senior Collateral securing the Junior Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens on Senior Collateral granted to the holders of Senior Obligations as adequate protection on the same basis as the Liens securing Junior Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement.

(f) The Applicable Junior Collateral Agent and each Junior Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) it will not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party for allowance of Senior Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Applicable Senior Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Senior Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Junior Secured Parties on the Senior Collateral, and (ii) until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Senior Collateral securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

(g) The Applicable Parity Lien Representative, on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Facility Secured Parties, acknowledge and intend that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Parity Lien Security Documents, on the one hand, and the ABL Facility Security Documents, on the other hand, constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Parity Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the Parity Lien Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the Parity Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and Parity Lien Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or the Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is Junior Collateral), the ABL Facility Secured Parties or the Parity Lien Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that are available from the Senior Collateral for each of the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Claims with respect to such Collateral, with the holder of such Junior Claims hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries).

(h) If, in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, debt obligations of any of reorganized Borrower or any of its subsidiaries secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized entity are distributed, pursuant to a proposal, plan of reorganization, composition or arrangement on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Parity Lien Obligations, then the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such proposal or plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Section 2.08. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Senior Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (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), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article 2 shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Senior Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

Section 2.09. Entry Upon Premises by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent. (a) If the ABL Facility Collateral Agent takes any enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Parity Lien Secured Parties (i) shall cooperate with the ABL Facility Collateral

Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and subject to the condition that the Parity Lien Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability or damage to the Parity Lien Secured Parties) 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, (ii) shall not take or direct any Collateral Agent to take any action designed or intended to hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Facility Collateral Agent from enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral or from finishing any work-in-process or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, and (iii) shall permit and direct the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee to permit the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, and their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives, at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Facility Secured Parties and upon reasonable advance notice, to enter upon and use the Notes Priority Collateral (including (x) equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files and (y) intellectual property) for a period not to exceed 180 days after the taking of such enforcement action, for purposes of (A) 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, (B) selling any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Notes Priority Collateral, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, (C) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located on such Notes Priority Collateral, or (D) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure and otherwise enforce the rights of the ABL Facility Secured Parties and the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in and to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall restrict the rights of the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee from selling, assigning or otherwise transferring any Notes Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such 180-day period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section. 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, such 180-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. If the ABL Facility Collateral Agent conducts a public auction or private sale of the ABL Priority Collateral at any of the real property included within the Notes Priority Collateral, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts to hold such auction or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee’s use of such real property for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties.

(b) During the period of actual occupation, use or control by the ABL Facility Secured Parties or their agents or representatives (including the ABL Facility Collateral Agent to the extent acting on behalf of such parties) of any Notes Priority Collateral, the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Notes Priority Collateral or other assets or property resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Notes 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Facility Secured Parties have any liability to the Parity Lien Secured Parties pursuant to this Section as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Facility Secured

Parties of their rights under this Section and the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Notes Priority 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 Notes Priority Collateral that results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Notes Priority Collateral by the ABL Facility Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 2.09. Without limiting the rights granted in this paragraph, the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall cooperate with the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the other Parity Lien Secured Parties (at the sole cost and expense of the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the other Parity Lien Secured Parties and subject to the condition that the ABL Facility Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability or damage to the ABL Facility Secured Parties) in connection with any efforts made by it to cause the Notes Priority Collateral to be sold.

(c) In addition, the Parity Lien Secured Parties and their respective Senior Representatives hereby grant to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties a non-exclusive worldwide license or right to use, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and to the extent of their interest therein, exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation, any of the Notes Priority Collateral consisting of intellectual property in connection with the liquidation, collection, disposition or other realization upon the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to any enforcement action by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the ABL Facility Secured Parties, and such license shall survive and transfer with any permitted disposition of the Notes Priority Collateral to any third party for the duration of the 180-day period referred to in Section 2.09(a) (including any tolling of such period in accordance with such Section.

Section 2.10. Insurance. Unless and until the ABL Obligations have been Discharged, as between the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, only the ABL Facility Collateral Agent will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents and the Parity Lien 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 the Parity Lien Obligations have been Discharged, as between the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, on the one hand, and the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, only the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee will have the right (subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents and the Parity Lien Documents) to adjust or settle any insurance policy covering or constituting Notes Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding solely affecting the Notes Priority Collateral. To the extent that an insured loss covers or constitutes ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral, then the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and the Applicable Parity Lien Representative and the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee will work jointly and in good faith to collect, adjust or settle

(subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Facility Documents and the Parity Lien Documents) under the relevant insurance policy.

Section 2.11. Refinancings. Each of the ABL Obligations and the Parity Lien Obligations and the agreements or indentures governing them may be Refinanced, 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 Facility Document or any Parity Lien Document) of, any ABL Facility Secured Party or any Parity Lien Secured Party, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing (to the extent they are not already so bound) to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to such Refinancing documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Applicable Senior Collateral Agent. In connection with any Refinancing contemplated by this Section 2.11, this Agreement may be amended at the request and sole expense of the Borrower, and without the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit such Refinancing transaction under any ABL Facility Document or any Parity Lien Document) of any Representative, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such Refinancing, (b) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any Parity Lien Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any Notes Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced and (c) to confirm that such Refinancing indebtedness in respect of any ABL Obligations shall have the same rights and priorities in respect of any ABL Priority Collateral as the indebtedness being Refinanced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such Refinancing. Any such additional party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Borrower that such modifications do not violate the ABL Facility Documents or the Parity Lien Documents if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party and each Applicable Senior Collateral Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Borrower has complied with its undertakings in any such document or this Agreement.

Section 2.12. Amendments to Security Documents. (a) The Parity Lien Collateral Trustee and other Parity Lien Secured Parties agree that, without the prior written consent of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, no Parity Lien Security Document to which the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee or Parity Lien Secured Party is party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new Parity Lien Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Each of the ABL Facility Collateral Agent and other ABL Facility Secured Parties agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Applicable Parity Lien Representative, no ABL Facility Security Document to which the ABL Facility Collateral Agent or ABL Facility Secured Parties are party may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification or the terms of any new ABL Facility

Security Document would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) In the event that any Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, such Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in the applicable Senior Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Junior Collateral Agent or any Junior Secured Party and without any action by any Junior Collateral Agent, any Junior Secured Party, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Junior Representative or the applicable Junior Secured Parties or the interests of the applicable Junior Secured Parties in the applicable Junior Collateral and not the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the Borrower to the Applicable Junior Collateral Agent.

Section 2.13. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection. (a) Each Possessory Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral pursuant to the ABL Facility Security Documents or the Parity Lien Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.13. To the extent any Possessory Collateral is possessed by or is under the control of a Collateral Agent (either directly or through its agents or bailees) other than the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, such Collateral Agent shall deliver or transfer control of such Possessory Collateral to (or shall cause such Possessory Collateral to be delivered or control of transferred to) the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent and shall take all actions reasonably requested in writing by the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to cause the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent to have possession or control of same. Pending such delivery to the Applicable Possessory Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable ABL Facility Security Documents or Parity Lien Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.13.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The duties or responsibilities of each Possessory Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.13 shall be limited solely to holding the Possessory

Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the security interest held by the Secured Parties therein.

(d) Upon the Discharge of all Parity Lien Obligations, the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee (and each other Parity Lien Representative) shall deliver to the ABL Facility Collateral Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any endorsements reasonably requested by the ABL Facility Collateral Agent (or otherwise allow the ABL Facility Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Parity Lien Collateral Trustee (and each other Parity Lien Representative) shall be obligated to follow instructions from the ABL Facility Collateral Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

(e) Upon the Discharge of all ABL Obligations, the ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Possessory Collateral (if any) held by it, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Possessory Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Possessory Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The ABL Facility Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow instructions from the Parity Lien Collateral Trustee or any other Parity Lien Representative in contravention of this Agreement.

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 Obligations (or the existence of any commitment to extend credit that would constitute Senior Obligations) or Junior Obligations, or the Collateral subject to any such Lien, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the other Representatives 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 reasonably promptly to 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 reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. 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
