a Bankruptcy Proceeding or otherwise), the proceeds in respect of such
Collateral shall be applied as soon as practicable after receipt as
follows:
FIRST: to
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent in an

SIXTH: to
the trustee, administrative agent, security agent or similar agent under each

SEVENTH: after
payment in full of all Secured Obligations, to Rite Aid and the Subsidiary
Guarantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to
whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.
(b) Whenever
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section any proceeds are required
to be distributed to any Second Priority Representative, then the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee or the Senior Collateral Agent, as the case may be,
shall effect such distribution only upon receiving written notification from the
Second Priority Instructing Group as to the identities of the Second Priority
Representatives entitled to receive such distribution and the amounts or
percentages of such distribution to which each such Second Priority
Representative is entitled and, if requested by the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee or the Senior Collateral Agent, the amount of outstanding Second
Priority Debt Obligations then due and owing to Second Priority Debt Parties for
which each such Second Priority Representative is acting on the basis of which
such amounts to be distributed are to be determined. Each of the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent shall be
fully protected in, and shall not incur or have any liability as a result of,
relying on such written notification received by it.
SECTION
4.02. Payment
Provisions. For the purposes of applying the provisions of
Section 4.01, all interest, fees and other amounts to be paid on any of the
Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of any Secured Document shall, as
among the Secured Parties and regardless of whether any such interest, fees or
other amounts are or would be recognized or allowed as a claim in any bankruptcy
or similar proceeding, be treated as due and owing on the Secured
Obligations.
SECTION
4.03. Certain Mandatory
Prepayments of Senior Credit Agreement. d)In the event that
the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall at any time, or from time to time
(but in the case of any sale or disposition of Collateral, only prior to the
occurrence of a Triggering Event), receive any Net Cash Proceeds of any
Reduction Event, the Borrower shall, in accordance with and to the extent
required by the provisions of the Senior Credit Agreement and, to the extent not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Senior Credit Agreement and the other
Senior Debt Documents, apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to
Reductions to the Senior Debt Facilities established under the Senior Credit
Agreement and the other Senior Debt Documents. So long as no
Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, Net Cash Proceeds of a
Reduction Event in excess of those applied in accordance with the foregoing
provision of this paragraph shall be applied in accordance with any applicable
provisions of the Senior Debt Documents and Second Priority Debt
Documents.
(b) In
the event the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall, at any time after the
occurrence of a Triggering Event, receive any Net Cash Proceeds of any Reduction
Event which
8
are
attributable to Collateral, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be subject to and
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01(a).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any payment made or to be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor in
respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations subsequent to the occurrence of a
Triggering Event other than from the proceeds of Collateral shall be subject to,
and only made in accordance with, the subordination provisions of the Second
Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement.
(d) For
the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.03(a) does not itself create any Lien nor does
it alter the priorities of Liens which are created by the other Senior Debt
Documents and Second Priority Debt Documents.
SECTION
4.04. Cash Sweep;
Certain Enforcement Proceeds. e)Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article IV, at all times during a Cash Sweep Period

Subsidiary Security Agreement as in effect on the 2009 Restatement Effective
Date) may be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Credit
Agreement, as in effect on the 2009 Restatement Effective Date. After
the occurrence of a Triggering Event, funds on deposit in the Citibank
Concentration Account consisting of proceeds of Collateral shall be applied in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.01(a). The Borrower and
the Subsidiary Guarantors will not deposit funds representing Net Cash Proceeds
from Reduction Events in the Citibank Concentration Account or into accounts
that are swept into the Citibank Concentration Account pursuant to the Senior
Loan Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, for purposes of this Article IV, any proceeds of enforcement of
the Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement against any Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be deemed proceeds of Senior Collateral.

Priority of Security Interests. f)Any and all security
interests, assignments, pledges, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt
and other liens, charges or encumbrances now existing or hereafter created or
arising in favor of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee for the benefit of
the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Collateral and securing the
Second Priority Debt Obligations are expressly junior in priority, operation and
effect to any and all security interests, assignments, pledges and other liens,
charges or encumbrances now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of
the Senior Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties with
respect to the Collateral and securing the Senior Obligations, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any agreement or filing to which the

recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests,
assignments,

pledges,
mortgages and other liens, charges or encumbrances or any defect or deficiency
or alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing.
(b) The
Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second
Priority Debt Parties, acknowledge that a portion of the Senior Obligations
represent debt that is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may
be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and
subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Senior Obligations may be
modified, extended or amended from time to time, and the aggregate amount of the
Senior Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, without notice to

provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in this Section 5.01
shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal,

Obligations, or any portion thereof, nor by any action that the Senior Secured
Parties or the Second Priority Debt Parties may take or fail to take in respect

naming one or more Subsidiary Guarantors as debtor, and the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties, as secured
party, may be filed in appropriate public offices from time to

of the Second Priority Representatives and each Second Priority Debt Party
agrees that all UCC-1 financing statements, patent/trademark/copyright filings
(except as provided in clause (ii) below) or other filings or recordings filed
or recorded by or on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be in form
satisfactory to the Senior Collateral Agent and shall contain the following
notation: “The interest of the Secured Party in the collateral described herein
is junior and subordinate to the interests of Citicorp North America, Inc., and
its successors and assigns, as collateral agent for certain secured parties,
including the lenders from time to time party to that certain Senior Credit
Agreement dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended, refinanced or replaced from

Trustee and/or the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be in form satisfactory to

(d) The
Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second
Priority Debt Parties, hereby agree:
(i) to
subordinate the Second Priority Collateral Documents to any lease of any
Mortgaged Properties to the same extent that the Senior Collateral Documents are
or have been subordinated to such lease, but without affecting the relative
priority of the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral
Documents,
(ii) to
grant nondisturbance rights with respect to any lease of any Mortgaged
Properties with respect to which the Senior Collateral Agent has granted
nondisturbance on substantially the same terms as granted by the Senior
Collateral Agent.
(iii) that
if all or any portion of any Mortgaged Property is a leasehold interest, (A)
upon termination of any lease creating such leasehold interest (the “Original Lease”), any right
of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to request a “new lease” pursuant to the
terms of the Original Lease shall be junior and subordinate to the right of the
Senior Collateral Agent to request such a new lease and the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee shall not exercise any such right without the prior written
consent of the Senior Collateral Agent, (B) the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee shall waive, surrender and give up any right either the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Debt Parties may have to redeem the
premises demised by the Original Lease or to continue the Original Lease for its
original term after the lessee thereunder has been dispossessed or ejected
therefrom by process of law or otherwise and (C) the Senior Lien and the Second
Priority Lien shall remain in force or be reinstated with the same relative
priority that existed with respect to the Original Lease, and
(iv) that
if the holder or grantor of a Second Priority Collateral Document pays or
discharges any Liens prior in right to the Lien created by the Senior Collateral
Documents with funds provided by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any
Second Priority Debt Party, neither the Second Priority Collateral Trustee nor
any Second Priority Debt Party shall acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any
claim superior or equivalent to the Lien of the Senior Collateral Documents so
long as any indebtedness secured by the Senior Collateral Documents remains
outstanding.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Senior Mortgages, if any, the Senior Collateral
Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties hereby consent
to the
11
assignment
of leases and rents to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee for the Second
Priority Secured Parties that shall be contained in the Second Priority
Mortgages for the purpose of securing and discharging the performance by the
Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, provided, however, that such assignment
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Senior
Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties
agree that the terms of each Senior Mortgage, if any, entered into after the
2009 Restatement Effective Date and the rights and remedies of the parties
thereto shall be subject to this Agreement. The Second Priority
Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Debt Parties agree that the terms of
each Second Priority Mortgage, if any, entered into after the 2009 Restatement
Effective Date and the rights and remedies of the parties thereto shall be
subject to this Agreement and subordinated as provided herein.
(e) The
Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second
Priority Debt Parties, acknowledge and agree with the Senior Collateral Agent,
the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties that the arrangements
described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above are solely for the purpose of
providing the Second Priority Debt Parties with a perfected second priority Lien
in the Collateral under the Second Priority Collateral Documents and shall in no
way be construed as imposing any duties or other obligations on the Senior
Collateral Agent or Senior Representatives.
In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second
Priority Debt Parties acknowledge and agree with the Senior Secured Parties
that, at all times following a Triggering Event until the Senior Obligation
Payment Date, the Senior Collateral Agent shall have the right to sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of or deal with, or cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with, the Collateral as provided
in the Senior Collateral Documents without regard to the security interest of
the Second Priority Debt Parties therein, or any rights to which the Second
Priority Debt Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of such security
interest, the only obligation of the Senior Collateral Agent to the Second
Priority Debt Parties in respect thereof being to deliver to the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Representatives (unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or by a court of
competent jurisdiction) any proceeds remaining from such sale, transfer or other
disposition of such Collateral after the Senior Obligation Payment Date or, if
the Senior Collateral Agent shall still be in possession of all or any part of
such Collateral after such payment and satisfaction in full, such Collateral or
such part thereof remaining, without representation or warranty on the part of
the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties, provided that nothing
contained in this sentence shall be construed to give rise to, nor shall the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Debt Parties have, any
claims whatsoever against the Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative
or any Senior Secured Party on account of any act or omission to act in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy of the Senior Collateral
Agent with respect to the Collateral that is permitted by the Collateral
Documents (other than with respect to any claims that may arise as a result of
the failure of the Senior Collateral Agent, after the Senior Obligation Payment
Date, to deliver any such remaining Collateral or proceeds to the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority
Representatives). The Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of
themselves and the other Second Priority Debt Parties, agree that they shall
not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to (A) the
Senior Lien in the Collateral or (B) the Second Priority Lien in the Collateral,
whether pursuant to the Second
12
Priority
Collateral Documents or otherwise, until the Senior Obligation Payment Date;
provided that nothing
in this sentence (or elsewhere in this Agreement) shall preclude (x) exercise of
the rights expressly reserved to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the
Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) the enforcement of this
Agreement.
(f) In
any Bankruptcy Proceeding, until the Senior Obligation Payment Date, the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Representatives, on behalf
of themselves and the other Second Priority Debt Parties, agree not to take any
action whatsoever (including voting any claim) in respect of or relating to the
Second Priority Debt Obligations, insofar as any such action arises from or
relates to the Second Priority Collateral Documents, the Second Priority Lien or
relates to the Collateral, in any manner that is inconsistent with or adverse to
the rights and priorities of the Senior Secured Parties as set forth
herein.
(g) In
the event that in any Bankruptcy Proceeding, the Second Priority Debt Parties
shall not have filed a proof of claim in respect of any Second Priority Debt
Obligation by the date ten days prior to the latest date on which such proof of
claim may be filed, the Senior Collateral Agent is hereby authorized but not
obligated, on behalf of any applicable Second Priority Debt Party, to file such
proof of claim; provided that any Second
Priority Debt Parties shall be entitled to amend, vote or otherwise exercise
rights in respect of any such proof of claim so filed by the Senior Collateral
Agent to the same extent as they would be permitted under this Agreement to do
so had such proof of claim been filed by them.
SECTION
5.02. No Interference;
No Right to Instruct Senior Collateral Agent; Payment Over; Reinstatement;
Permitted Actions. g)The Second Priority Collateral Trustee
and the Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other
Second Priority Debt Parties, agree that:
(i) they
will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is
to make any Second Priority Lien pari passu with, or to
give any Second Priority Debt Party or any Second Priority Representative any
preference or priority relative to, the Senior Lien or the Senior Secured
Parties with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof;
(ii) they
will not interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial
proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral by the Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives or any
other Senior Secured Party or any other action taken by or on behalf of the
Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives or any other Senior Secured
Party permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the Senior Collateral
Documents;
(iii) they
have no right to (A) direct the Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior
Representative or any other Senior Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy
or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Collateral
Documents or (B) consent to the exercise by the Senior Collateral Agent, any
Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party of any right, remedy or
power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Collateral
Documents;
13
(iv) they
will not institute any suit or assert in any suit, Bankruptcy Proceeding or
other proceeding any claim against the Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior
Representative or any 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 Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives or any
other Senior Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to
be taken by the Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives or the
Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior
Collateral Documents;
(v) until
the Senior Obligation Payment Date, they will not make any judicial or
nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any judicial or non-judicial proceedings
against any Subsidiary Guarantor under or with respect to any Collateral
Document seeking payment or damages from or other relief by way of specific
performance, instructions or otherwise under or with respect to any Collateral
Document (other than filing a proof of claim) or exercise any right, remedy or
power under or with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce, other
than filing a proof of claim, any Collateral Document; provided, however, that (A) if there is
a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to Rite Aid, the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee or any Second Priority Debt Party may make claims under and seek to
enforce the Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement, subject to the
subordination provisions thereof and to the other provisions of this Agreement,
and (B) none of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority
Representatives or any other Second Priority Debt Party may exercise any right,
remedy or power under or with respect to any other Second Priority Debt
Document, or otherwise take any action to enforce rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral;
(vi) until
the Senior Obligation Payment Date, they will not commence 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 any Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power
with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its interest in or
realize upon, the Collateral or pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral
Documents; provided
that nothing in this paragraph (or elsewhere in this Agreement) shall restrict
the right of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, any Second Priority
Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party to request “adequate
protection” (within the meaning of Section 361 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code) for
the interests of the Second Priority Debt Parties in the Second Priority
Collateral in the event of any Bankruptcy Proceeding on a basis that is not
inconsistent with the rights and priorities of the Senior Secured Parties as set
forth herein, in the Senior Loan Documents and in the Second Priority Debt
Documents;
(vii) they
will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Collateral or any part
thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral;
and
(viii) they
will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement or
any Senior Debt Document or the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability
of the Senior Lien.
14
(b) The
Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second
Priority Debt Parties, hereby agree that, in the event of a sale, transfer or
other disposition of Collateral following a Triggering Event, any security
interest or lien of the Second Priority Debt Parties in such Collateral (but not
the proceeds thereof to the extent that such proceeds are to be applied to
Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to Section 4.01) shall terminate and
be released automatically and without further action if the Senior Lien in such
Collateral is released. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee will
execute and deliver to the Senior Collateral Agent promptly upon request
therefor all necessary instruments and documents to evidence such termination
and release.
(c) Except
with respect to proceeds of any sale or other realization on Collateral received
by the Second Priority Representatives pursuant to distributions made by the
Senior Collateral Agent after the occurrence of a Triggering Event under Section
4.01(a), the Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the
other Second Priority Debt Parties, hereby agree that if any of them shall
obtain possession of any of the Collateral, or shall realize any payment of
insurance or condemnation proceeds, proceeds of any sale or other disposition,
rents, profits or other income, reserve or compensation of any kind in respect
of the Collateral, in any case before the Senior Obligation Payment Date, then
they shall hold such Collateral or payment in trust for the Senior Secured
Parties and transfer such Collateral or payment, as the case may be, to the
Senior Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.01. If, at any time, all or part of any payment with
respect to the Senior Obligations previously made is rescinded for any reason
whatsoever, (i) the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority
Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall promptly pay over to
the Senior Collateral Agent any payment received by any of them after the
occurrence of a Triggering Event in respect of the Collateral or proceeds
thereof, and shall promptly turn any Collateral then held by any of them over to
the Senior Collateral Agent, in each case to the extent that the Second Priority
Debt Parties would not have been entitled to receive or hold such payment or
Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement had the rescinded payment in
respect of the Senior Obligations never been made in the first instance, and
(ii) the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such
rescinded payment had not been made, until the Senior Obligation Payment Date;
provided, however, that the foregoing
shall not require the Second Priority Debt Parties to pay over to the Senior
Collateral Agent any payment received by them or Collateral delivered to them if
such payment or delivery is itself rescinded for any reason (and any such
payment or Collateral theretofore paid over to the Senior Secured Parties
pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be released and delivered to the
appropriate Person to the extent necessary to effect such
rescission.)
(d) With
respect to proceeds of any sale or other realization on Collateral to the extent
payable to the Second Priority Representatives for the benefit of the Second
Priority Debt Parties pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the Senior Representatives,
on behalf of themselves and the other applicable Senior Secured Parties, hereby
agree that if any of them shall obtain possession of any of such proceeds before
the time when the Second Priority Debt Obligations have been paid in full, then
they shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of the Second Priority
Debt Obligations and transfer such proceeds to the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee.

services hereunder and for administering the Trust Estate, as heretofore agreed
between the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and Rite Aid, and (ii) all of the
reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
(including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and such special

Agreement, or the enforcement of any provisions hereof, or (b) incurred or
required to be advanced in connection with the administration of the Trust
Estate or the preservation, protection or defense of the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee’s rights under this Agreement and in and to the Collateral
and the Trust Estate. The obligations of Rite Aid under this Section
6.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION

Similar Taxes. Rite Aid agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and each Secured Party from any present
or future claim or liability for any mortgage, stamp or other similar tax and

against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents;
provided, however, that the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be indemnified under this clause to the
extent such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful
misconduct of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee.
(b) In
any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
with respect to the Collateral or for any sum owing in respect of Secured
Obligations, or to enforce the provisions of any Collateral Document, each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall save, indemnify and keep

written request of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, and at the joint and
several expense of Rite Aid and the Subsidiary Guarantors, Rite Aid and each
Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver any and all such further

Collateral Trustee reasonably deems necessary or desirable in obtaining the full
benefits of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing or of
any requirement of any Second Priority Collateral Document, each Subsidiary
Guarantor agrees, from time to time, at its own expense to execute, acknowledge,
deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all
such further mortgages, financing statements and continuations thereof, notices
of assignment, transfers, certificates, assurances and other instruments as may

administrative agent, may reasonably request from time to time in order (i) to
carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement, (ii) to subject to
the liens and security interests created by any of the Second Priority
Collateral Documents in any of the properties, (iii) to perfect and maintain the
validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Second Priority Collateral
Documents and the

convey, grant, assign, transfer, preserve, protect and confirm unto the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to
be granted to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee under any Second Priority
Collateral Document or under any other instrument executed in connection with
any Second Priority Collateral Document to which it is or may become a party,
and (v) to enable the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce
its rights and remedies hereunder and under each Second Priority Collateral
Document with respect to any Second Priority Collateral.
SECTION
6.08. Certain
Duties. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee’s sole duty
with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as it
customarily deals with similar collateral of other parties held by
it. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall promptly deliver to
each of the Second Priority Representatives a copy of each notice, request,
report or other document delivered to it pursuant to the Second Priority
Collateral Documents (unless the Second Priority Collateral Trustee can
reasonably determine that such Second Priority Representative has already
received the same).
SECTION
6.09. Exculpatory
Provisions. i)The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not
be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties herein contained, all of which are
made solely by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Second Priority
Collateral Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the
Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Subsidiary
Guarantors thereto or as to the security afforded by the Collateral Documents or
this Agreement or as to the validity, execution (except its own execution
thereof), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of the Collateral Documents or
this Agreement or of the Secured Obligations, and the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee shall incur no liability or responsibility with respect to any such
matters. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be
responsible for insuring the Trust Estate or for the payment of taxes, charges,
assessments or Liens upon the Trust Estate or otherwise as to the maintenance of
the Trust Estate.
(b) The
Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire
as to the performance by Rite Aid or any other person of any of the covenants or
agreements contained herein, in any Collateral Document or in any Secured
Document. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee advisable, for the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee to ascertain the amount of Secured Obligations then held by a Secured
Party, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee may rely on a certificate of such
Secured Party as to such amount, and if any Secured Party shall not provide such
information to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, such Secured Party shall
not be entitled to receive payments hereunder (in which case the amounts
otherwise payable to such Secured Party shall be held in trust for such Secured
Party in the applicable Collateral Account) until such Secured Party has
provided such information to the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee.
(c) The
Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with this Agreement or any
Collateral Document or any Secured Document, except for such actions or
omissions that constitute gross
18
negligence
or wilful misconduct by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction. The Second Priority Collateral
Trustee and its affiliates may make credit extensions to, accept deposits from
and generally engage in any kind of business with Rite Aid and its Subsidiaries
as though the Second Priority Collateral Trustee were not the collateral trustee
hereunder. With respect to any Secured Obligations owing to it, the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement as any Senior Secured Party or any Second Priority Debt Party, as
the case may be, and may exercise the same as though it were not the collateral
trustee hereunder. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee, in its
individual capacity, may be either a Senior Secured Party or a Second Priority
Debt Party.
SECTION
6.10. Delegation of
Duties. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee may execute any
of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact which it shall select with due
care. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by
it.
SECTION
6.11. Reliance by
Second Priority Collateral Trustee. j)Whenever in the
administration of the trusts of this Agreement the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee shall deem it necessary or advisable that a matter be proved or
established in connection with the taking of any action hereunder by the Second
Priority Collateral Trustee, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively
provided or established by a certificate of an officer of Rite Aid delivered to
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, and such officers’ certificate shall be
full warranty to Second Priority Collateral Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted in reliance thereon.
(b) The
Second Priority Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel, and any opinion of
such counsel (which may be in-house counsel for the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee) shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of
any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in accordance
therewith. The Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have the
right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the
Trust Estate from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The
Second Priority Collateral Trustee may rely, and shall be fully protected in
acting, upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion,
report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document which
it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of telecopies and
telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. The Second
Priority Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any Collateral
Document.
(d) The
Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise
any of the rights or powers vested in the Second Priority Collateral Trustee by
this Agreement unless the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have been
provided adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred by it in
19
compliance
with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be
requested by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee.
SECTION
6.12. Limitations on
Duties of Second Priority Collateral Trustee. The Second
Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken
or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction of the Second
Priority Instructing Group. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation
to take any action which is discretionary with the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee under the provisions hereof except upon the written request of the
Second Priority Instructing Group. The Second Priority Collateral
Trustee shall make available for inspection and copying by any Secured Party
each certificate or other paper furnished to the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee by Rite Aid or any Subsidiary Guarantor under or in respect of this
Agreement, any Collateral Document or any portion of the Trust
Estate.
SECTION
6.13. Funds to be Held
in Trust. All funds received by the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be held in
trust for the purposes for which they were paid or are held in accordance with
the provisions hereof.
SECTION
6.14. Resignation of
the Second Priority Collateral Trustee. k)The Second Priority
Collateral Trustee may at any time, by giving 30 days’ prior written notice to
Rite Aid and the Secured Parties, resign and be discharged of the
responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon the
earlier of (i) 60 days from the date of such notice and (ii) the appointment of
a successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees by the Second Priority
Instructing Group (subject, if no Triggering Event has occurred, to the approval
of Rite Aid, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld). If no successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees
shall be appointed and approved within 60 days from the date of the giving of
the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
(notwithstanding the termination of all of its other duties and obligations
hereunder by reason of such resignation) shall, or any Senior Secured Party,
Second Priority Debt Party or Rite Aid may, apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees
(which may be an individual or individuals) to act until such time, if any, as a
successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees shall have been appointed as
above provided. Any successor collateral trustee or collateral
trustees so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be
superseded by any successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees approved
by the Second Priority Instructing Group as above provided.
(b) If
at any time the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall resign or otherwise
become incapable of acting, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the
office of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee for any other cause, a
successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees may be appointed by the
Second Priority Instructing Group (subject, if no Triggering Event has occurred,
to the approval of Rite Aid, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or
withheld), and the powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor
collateral trustee or collateral trustees terminated and canceled without
procuring the resignation of such predecessor collateral trustee or collateral
trustees, and without any other formality (except as may be required by
applicable law) other than appointment and designation of a successor collateral
trustee or collateral trustees in writing, duly acknowledged, delivered to the
predecessor
20
collateral
trustee or collateral trustees, and filed for record in each public office, if
any, in which this Agreement is required to be filed.
(c) The
appointment and designation referred to in Section 6.14(b) shall, after any
required filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same
and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such
successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessor or their
predecessors, and upon such filing for record the successor collateral trustee
or collateral trustees shall become fully vested with all the estates,
properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its
predecessor or their predecessors. Such predecessor or predecessors
shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Second Priority Instructing
Group or its or their successor collateral trustee or collateral trustees,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or successors
all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title
of such predecessor or predecessors hereunder and shall deliver all securities
and funds held by it or them to such successor collateral trustee or collateral
trustees.
(d) Any
required filing for record of the instrument appointing a successor collateral
trustees as herein above provided shall be at the expense of Rite
Aid.
SECTION
6.15. Status of
Successors to Second Priority Collateral Trustee. Except as
permitted by Section 6.14, every successor to the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee appointed pursuant to Section 6.14 shall be a bank or trust company in
good standing and having power so to act, incorporated under the laws of the
United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and having its
principal corporate trust office within the forty-eight contiguous States, and
shall also have capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than
$250,000,000.
SECTION
6.16. Merger of Second
Priority Collateral Trustee. Any corporate Person into which
Second Priority Collateral Trustee may be merged, or with which it may be
consolidated, or any company resulting from any merger or consolidation to which
Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be a party, shall be Second Priority
Collateral Trustee under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.
SECTION
6.17. Appointment of
Additional and Separate Second Priority Collateral
Trustee. Whenever (i) the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
shall deem it necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any
jurisdiction in which all or any part of the Collateral shall be situated or to
make any claim or bring any suit with respect to or in connection with the
Collateral, or (ii) the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be advised by
counsel satisfactory to it that it is so necessary or prudent in the interest of
the Second Priority Debt Parties, then in any such case, the Second Priority
Collateral Trustee shall execute and deliver from time to time all instruments
and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company
or one or more persons approved by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee either
to act as additional trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Estate,
jointly with the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, or to act as separate
trustee or trustees of all or any part of the Trust Estate, in any such case
with such powers and on substantially the same terms and conditions as set forth
in this Agreement, and to vest in such bank, trust
21
company
or person as such additional trustee or separate trustee, as the case may be,
any property, title, right or power of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee
deemed necessary or advisable by the Second Priority Collateral
Trustee. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby consents to all
actions taken by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee under the foregoing
provisions of this Section 6.17.
SECTION
6.18. Removal of Second
Priority Collateral Trustee. The Second Priority Collateral
Trustee may be removed and discharged from the responsibilities hereby created
at any time by the Second Priority Instructing Group. The Second
Priority Instructing Group may appoint a successor trustee with the consent of

and discharge of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be effective upon
appointment of such successor trustee and such successor trustee’s acceptance of
its appointment.

Collateral (but not the proceeds thereof) will be released automatically upon
consummation of such disposition, without the need for any consent or approval
by any Secured Party, and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Senior
Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Second Priority
Representatives, at the expense of Rite Aid, shall execute such documents as are
reasonably necessary to effectuate such release.
(b) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Second Priority Debt Document, at such time as
the Senior Lien in any Collateral is released, the Second Priority Lien in such
Collateral shall automatically terminate and be released without the need for
any action or consent by or from the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the
Second Priority Instructing Group or any Second Priority Debt Party so long as
(i) no Lien securing any Indebtedness remains on such Collateral and
(ii) after giving effect to any release of the Second Priority Lien in such
Collateral, at least $300,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness
shall remain outstanding under the Senior Facilities.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any Second Priority Debt Document, at such time as a
Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to guarantee or be an obligor in respect of, or to
pledge any of its assets to secure, any Senior Obligations, such Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be automatically released from all its obligations under the
Second Priority Subsidiary Guarantee Agreement and the other Second Priority
Collateral Documents without the need for any action or consent by or from the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Second Priority
22
Instructing
Group or any Second Priority Debt Party so long as (i) such Subsidiary
Guarantor ceases to guarantee or be an obligor in respect of, or to pledge its
assets to secure, any Indebtedness that is secured by the Collateral and
(ii) after giving effect to any such release, at least $300,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness shall remain outstanding under the
Senior Facilities.
(d) The
Lien of any Collateral Document may, at any time, be released in whole or in
part by the Senior Collateral Agent (in the case of the Senior Lien) or the
Second Priority Collateral Trustee (in the case of the Second Priority Lien)
pursuant to written directions signed by the Majority Senior Parties (or the
Senior Collateral Agent on behalf of the Majority Senior Parties) or the Second
Priority Instructing Group, respectively; provided that the release of
all or substantially all of the Senior Collateral shall require the written
consent of all the Senior Lenders and, to the extent provided in the applicable
Additional Senior Debt Documents, the Additional Senior Debt Parties and the

the reasonable judgment of Second Priority Collateral Trustee), and all fees and
taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid;
(iv) in
the case of any Senior Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments
