9
or other Senior Obligations Secured Party (or their representatives) arising out of (i) any actions which any Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Obligations Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, without limitation, 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 respective Senior Obligations Security 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 Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Obligations Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or (iii) any borrowing of any Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any related grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

10
(b) The Junior Collateral Agent and each other Junior Obligations Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Senior Obligations Collateral, or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Collateral, whether pursuant to any Junior Obligations Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding or otherwise, at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, then it shall hold such Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the applicable Senior Obligations Secured Parties and transfer such Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the applicable Senior Collateral Agent. Each Junior Obligations Secured Party agrees that if, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to any Senior Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, such Junior Obligations Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the applicable Senior Collateral Agent any payment received by it in respect of any Collateral subject to any Senior Lien securing such Senior Obligations and shall promptly turn any Collateral subject to any such Senior Lien 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 Discharge of Senior Obligations.
SECTION 2.05. Automatic Release of Junior Liens. The Junior Collateral Agent and each other Junior Obligations Secured Party agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of Senior Obligations Collateral subject to any Junior Lien to a person or entity that is not the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, such Junior Lien on such Collateral (but not on the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such proceeds are applied to repay any Senior Obligations) shall terminate and be released automatically and without further action if the applicable Senior Liens on such Collateral are released. Each Junior Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver all such releases and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by any applicable Senior Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Junior Obligations Collateral provided for in this Section.
SECTION 2.06. Certain Agreements With Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings. In the event a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against any Grantor, each Junior Collateral Agent and the other Junior Obligations Secured Parties shall not, prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (a) seek in respect of any part of the Collateral or proceeds thereof or any Lien which may exist thereon any relief from or modification of the automatic stay as provided in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or seek or accept any form of adequate protection under either or both Sections 362 and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect thereto except replacement liens junior to the Senior Liens and the accrual (but not the

ARTICLE III
SECTION 3.01. Designation. The Company may from time to time, subject to any limitations contained in the Credit Agreement, any then existing Designated Senior Obligations Governing Documents and the Note Indenture, designate additional obligations that are, or are to be, secured by Liens on any assets or properties of the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company as Designated Senior Obligations by delivering to each Collateral Agent a notice:
(i) describing the obligations being designated as Designated Senior Obligations, and including a statement of the maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount of such obligations;
(ii) listing the Designated Senior Obligations Governing Documents under which such Designated Senior Obligations are issued or incurred and the Designated Senior Obligations Security Documents securing such Designated Senior Obligations, and attaching copies of such Designated Senior Obligations Governing Documents and Designated Senior Obligations Security Documents;
(iii) identifying the Designated Senior Obligations Collateral Agent with respect to such Designated Senior Obligations, and any other Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Obligations;
(iv) certifying that the incurrence of such Designated Senior Obligations, the creation of the Liens securing such Designated Senior Obligations and the designation of such Designated Senior Obligations as Designated Senior Obligations hereunder do not violate or result in a default under any provision of any Credit Agreement, any then existing Designated Senior Obligations Governing Document or the Note Indenture;
(v) certifying that the Designated Senior Obligations Governing Document governing such Designated Senior Obligations contains provisions under which the related Designated Senior Obligations Secured Parties agree, or are deemed to agree, to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement; and
(vi) attaching a fully executed Accession Agreement under which the Designated Senior Obligations Collateral Agent with respect to such Designated Senior Obligations shall become a party to and a Collateral Agent under this Agreement (unless such Designated Senior Obligations Collateral Agent shall already be a party hereto).
13
Upon the delivery of such notice and the related attachments as provided above, the obligations designated in such notice shall become Designated Senior Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement, no obligation shall constitute a Designated Senior Obligation if the incurrence of such obligation, the creation of the Liens securing such obligation or the designation of such obligation as a Designated Senior Obligation hereunder would violate or result in a default under any provision of any Credit Agreement, any existing Designated Senior Obligations Governing Document or the Note Indenture.
Each Senior Collateral Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Senior Lien on any Junior 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 such Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Collateral Agent will serve as sub-agent for each Junior Collateral Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Junior Lien of such Junior Collateral Agent in such Collateral. It is agreed that the obligations of the applicable Senior Collateral Agent and the rights of the Junior Collateral Agents and the other Junior Secured Parties in connection with any such sub-agency arrangement will be in all respects subject to the provisions of Article II. The Senior Collateral Agent 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 to any Junior Collateral Agent or other Junior Secured Party for such perfection, it being understood that the sole purpose of this Article is to enable the Junior Secured Parties to obtain a perfected Junior Lien in 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 Collateral Agent. Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to Senior Obligations secured by the Senior Lien of any Senior Collateral Agent, such Senior Collateral Agent shall take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Junior Collateral Agent to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or any such account to the Junior Collateral Agent; provided, that if any such Collateral or any such account shall be subject to any other Senior Lien, then such Senior Collateral Agent shall instead transfer such possession or control of such Collateral or such account to the Senior Collateral Agent holding such Senior Lien. The Junior Collateral Agent agrees that if it shall obtain possession or control of any Collateral or any account pursuant to the foregoing provisions and such Collateral or account shall thereafter become subject to any Senior Lien, it will take all such actions in its power as shall reasonably be requested by the Senior Collateral Agent holding such Senior Lien to transfer possession or control of such Collateral or such account to such Senior Collateral Agent.
14
ARTICLE V
Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations
Whenever any Collateral Agent 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 Junior 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 Representative of such Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the request of such Collateral Agent, such Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, such Collateral Agent shall be entitled to determine such existence or amount by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company.
