(c) The parties hereto intend that the Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt and the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt be identical; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge that the Collateral securing certain of the Senior-Priority Debt and the Junior-Priority Debt may exclude (i) Equity Interests and other securities of any Subsidiary of the Borrower to the extent required under such applicable Senior-Priority Documents and/or Junior-Priority Documents and necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 to file separate financial statements with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Equity Interests or other securities secure any such Senior-Priority Debt or

Junior-Priority Debt and (ii) cash collateral provided under the terms of the Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agreement (it being understood that the exclusions in clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply to Senior-Priority Debt under the Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agreement).

2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent and each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it shall 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 for the benefit or on behalf of any Senior-Priority Secured Party in any Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in any Collateral, as the case may be; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior-Priority Secured Party or Junior-Priority Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

2.3 No New Liens.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that, after the date hereof, if any Junior-Priority Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Junior-Priority Debt that are not also subject to Liens of each applicable Senior-Priority Collateral Agent under the applicable Senior-Priority Documents (except for any assets that are expressly not required to be subject to a Lien of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Senior-Priority Documents with respect to which such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent), such Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof to each such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and such Grantor shall xxxxx x Xxxx thereon to each such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in a manner and on terms satisfactory to such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(b) So long as any Junior-Priority Debt remains outstanding, the parties hereto agree that, after the date hereof, if any Senior-Priority Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Senior-Priority Debt that are not also subject to Liens of each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent under the applicable Junior-Priority Documents (except for any assets that are expressly not required to be subject to a Lien of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Junior-Priority Documents with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent and cash collateral provided under the terms of the Senior-Priority Non-ABL Loan Agreement), such Grantor shall promptly give written notice thereof to each such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and shall xxxxx x Xxxx thereon to each such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in a manner and on terms reasonably satisfactory to such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent.

(c) To the extent that the provisions of this Section 2.3 are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, that any amount received by or distributed to such Junior-Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section shall be subject to Section 4 hereof.

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements.

(a) The parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(i) to cooperate in order to determine, upon any request by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, the specific items included in the Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt and the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon, and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Senior-Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents; and

(ii) to make the forms, documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt and the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt and the Liens of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Liens of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties materially the same, other than with respect to the senior priority or junior priority lien nature of the Liens created or evidenced thereunder (as applicable), the identity of the parties thereto or secured thereby and other matters contemplated by this Agreement, including the proviso in Section 2.1(c).

(iii) each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, in exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, may enforce the provisions of the Senior-Priority Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion and such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law, in each case as if no Junior-Priority Debt is then outstanding.

(b) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Collateral, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, except as expressly provided in the provisos in Section 3.1(a)(ii) above, the sole right of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Junior-Priority Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred.

(c) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent under the Senior-Priority Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any and all rights each may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner or order in which any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior-Priority Debt or the Liens granted in any of the Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties is or could be adverse to the interests of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties.

(d) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior-Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior-Priority Documents.

(e) Subject to 3.1(a) hereof, the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall have the exclusive right to exercise or enforce any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Collateral and commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights and remedies and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, subject to the Junior-Priority Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement and any other then effective intercreditor agreement, the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, who may be instructed by the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents, shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, who may be instructed by the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents, shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior-Priority Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.1(e) shall impair the right of any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior-Priority Secured Parties or the Junior-Priority Debt.

(g) will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceeding or otherwise, to challenge or question the validity or enforceability of any Senior-Priority Debt, any Lien of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Senior-Priority Security Document, including this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or obligations established by this Agreement.

3.3 Cooperation. Subject to the provisos in Section 3.1(a)(ii), each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent upon its request) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any of the Junior-Priority Documents, or otherwise.

3.4 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Junior-Priority Documents and applicable Law, but only to the extent that the exercise of any such rights and remedies is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. In the event any Junior-Priority Secured Party, as a result of the exercise of their rights as unsecured creditors are granted or otherwise holds a judgment Lien, such Lien shall be subject to this Agreement (and will have the same priority hereunder as the other Liens of the applicable Junior-Priority Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is

acting as Agent of foreclosure rights or other remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or any other act in contravention of this Agreement.

3.5 Release of Junior-Priority Liens.

(iii) each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, shall be deemed to have authorized the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent to file UCC amendments and terminations covering the Collateral so sold, leased, licensed, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed of as to UCC financing statements between any Grantor and such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent to evidence such release and termination; and

(b) (i) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby constitutes and appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable) the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or such holder or in the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 3.5, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.5, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(ii) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to modify the obligation of any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent to act in a manner consistent with applicable Law in the exercise of its rights to sell, lease, license, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Collateral.

3.6 Insurance and Condemnation Awards.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of Grantors under the Senior-Priority Documents and to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation in respect of the Collateral.

(b) After the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred and so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of Grantors under the Junior-Priority Documents and to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and any other then effective intercreditor agreement, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation in respect of the Collateral. After the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred (subject, in the case of any ABL Priority Collateral, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), but so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, be paid to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties to the extent required under the applicable Junior-Priority Documents and (b) second, if no Junior-Priority Debt is outstanding, be paid to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or as may otherwise be required by applicable Law.

(i) first, to the Senior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the relevant Senior-Priority Documents until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred; and

(ii) second, to the Junior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the relevant Junior-Priority Documents until the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has occurred.

(b) Upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and without imposing any liability on the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party (with any right to seek to impose any such liability being hereby expressly waived by each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent), the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, without recourse, representation or warranty, any proceeds of Collateral held by it at such time in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to the Junior-Priority Debt in such order as specified in the Junior-Priority Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and/or the other Junior-Priority Documents.

(c) The foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective lien priorities as between the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and shall not impose on any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable Law.

4.2 Payments Over.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, that any Collateral or proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto received by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party, with respect to the Collateral, and including in connection with any right of set-off, insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation), shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly transferred or paid over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or assignments or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, however, that this Section 4.2(a) shall not apply to any required payments of interest and principal received by a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party prior to the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of foreclosure rights or other remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or any other act in contravention of this Agreement. The Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements or assignments as agent for the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

4.3 Certain Agreements with Respect to Unenforceable Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and each Junior-Priority Secured Party agrees that any distribution or recovery it may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct

until such time as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred. Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt occurs, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby appoints the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, and any officer or agent of such Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Junior-Priority Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 4.3 and taking any action and executing any instrument that such Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.3, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 5. Bailee for Perfection.

5.1 Each Agent as Bailee.

(a) Each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Collateral (or by notation of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent’s lien, if any, on any certificate of title, if applicable) or of any deposit or securities account in which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such deposit or securities account is in fact in the possession or under the control of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, or of agents or bailees of such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (such Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”) as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents in such Pledged or Controlled Collateral (including, but not limited to, any securities or any deposit accounts or securities accounts, if any) pursuant to the Junior-Priority Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Senior-Priority Documents as if the Liens on the Collateral securing the Junior-Priority Debt did not exist. The obligations and responsibilities of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties under this Section 5 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5. Without limiting the foregoing, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party to assure that the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5. The duty or responsibility of the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents under this Section 5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee and agent for and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents for purposes of perfecting the Liens held by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents.

(c) The Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall not have, by reason of the Senior-Priority Documents, the Junior-Priority Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, the Junior-Priority

Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party and shall not have any liability to any other Senior-Priority Secured Party, the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party in connection with its holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral; and the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents shall not have, by reason of the Junior-Priority Documents, this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Junior-Priority Secured Party and shall not have any liability to any other Junior-Priority Secured Party in connection with its holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.1 shall be subject in all respects to Section 5.5 (First Priority Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection) of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.1 and such Section of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

5.2 Transfer of Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

(a) Upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents shall, together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse, representation or warranty, transfer the possession and control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, if any, then in its possession or control to the Designated Junior-Priority Collateral Agents except in the event and to the extent that (a) any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party has retained or otherwise acquired such Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any of the Senior-Priority Debt, (b) such Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party or by a Grantor as provided in this Agreement or (c) it is otherwise required by any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or applicable Law or would result in the risk of liability of any Senior-Priority Secured Party to any third party. The foregoing provision shall not impose on any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party any obligations which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority or any applicable Law. In connection with any transfer described herein to any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, and upon the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt (so long as the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt has not occurred), each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees to take reasonable actions in its power (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be paid by the Borrower) as shall be reasonably requested by any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent acting at the direction of the requisite number of Junior-Priority Holders with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent in accordance with the applicable Junior-Priority Documents to permit such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the applicable Junior-Priority Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral (subject, in the case of any ABL Priority Collateral, to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and subject to other Liens permitted by the Junior-Priority Documents).

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 General Applicability; Filing of Motions.

(a) This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted or subsequent cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to the Borrower or any Grantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Borrower or such Grantor and the Borrower or such Grantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the institution of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving the Borrower or any other Grantor, including the filing of any petition by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other Bankruptcy Law and all converted cases and subsequent cases, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Borrower or any other Grantor as debtor-in-possession, or any other court order affecting the rights and interests of the parties hereto not in conflict with this Agreement. This Agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for the purposes of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in accordance with its terms.

(b) Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent that no Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Collateral, including with respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party or Junior-Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; provided, however, that each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent may (i) file a proof of claim in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents imposed hereby or (ii) take other actions specified in the provisos to Section 3.1(a)(ii) or otherwise with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, subject to the requisite consent of any bankruptcy court.

6.2 Bankruptcy Financing.

(a) Until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “cash collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) which constitutes Collateral securing the Senior-Priority Debt or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing from the Senior-Priority Secured Parties or any other person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.4(c) of this Agreement) each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that it will raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing (unless the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or the Senior-Priority Secured Parties for which such Designated Senior-

Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing) so long as (i) such cash collateral use or DIP Financing is on commercially reasonable terms and, if required by applicable Law, is approved by the Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (ii) the DIP Financing does not compel Grantors to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the documents for the DIP Financing, except that such DIP Financing may (A) provide that the plan of reorganization require the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt and (B) require the Grantors to seek confirmation of a plan acceptable to the Senior-Priority Secured Parties or entities providing the DIP Financing and contain milestones relating to such plan. To the extent that the Liens securing the Senior-Priority Debt are subordinated to or on an equal priority basis with the Liens securing DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent will subordinate (and will be deemed to have subordinated) the Liens securing the respective Junior-Priority Debt in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or otherwise applicable thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with its rights as a holder of Liens on the Collateral (except as expressly agreed by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents or to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 6.4).

6.3 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has not occurred, no Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders, as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents) seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Lien securing any of the Junior-Priority Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no Grantor waives or shall be deemed to have waived any rights under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.4 Adequate Protection.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (i) any request by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, (ii) any objection by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any of the other Senior-Priority Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Senior-Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise (it being understood and agreed that the value of the Liens on the Collateral held by each Senior-Priority Secured Party shall be determined without regard to the existence of any Liens held by the Junior-Priority Secured Parties).

(b) So long as each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall have received and shall continue to receive all accrued post-petition interest, fees or expenses with respect to the Senior-Priority Debt, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and any Junior-Priority Secured Party with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent may seek any claim for allowance of post-petition interest, fees or expenses in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior-Priority Debt (it being understood and agreed that the value of the Liens on the Collateral held by each Junior-Priority Secured Party shall be determined taking into account the Liens on the Collateral held by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties); provided, however, that until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, if any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any post-petition interest arising from any such claim, it shall pay such post-petition interest over to the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 hereof.

(c) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders, as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents), except that each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, shall be permitted (i) to obtain adequate protection in the form of the benefit of additional or replacement Liens on the Collateral, or additional or replacement collateral to secure the Junior-Priority Debt in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral as provided for in Section 6.2 hereof, or in connection with any such adequate protection obtained by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and any other Senior-Priority Secured Parties, as long as, in each case, such Senior-Priority Collateral Agent is also granted such additional or replacement Liens or additional or replacement collateral and such Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any such other Junior-Priority Secured Party are subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior-Priority Debt to the same extent as the Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent on the Collateral are subordinated to the Liens of each applicable Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and each other applicable Senior-Priority Secured Parties hereunder, (ii) to obtain adequate protection in the form of reports, notices, inspection rights and similar forms of adequate protection to the extent granted to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent and (iii) to seek and receive, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, additional adequate protection of its junior interest in the Collateral in the form of a superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under 11 U.S.C. §507(b); provided, however, that, (A) any such superpriority administrative expense claim of a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be junior in all respects to any superpriority administrative expense claim granted to any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral and (B) in the event that a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and other Junior-Priority Secured Parties such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, seeks or receives protection of its junior interest in the Collateral and is granted a superpriority administrative expense claim, including a claim arising under 11 U.S.C. §507(b), then such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to

which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that all Senior-Priority Secured Parties shall receive a superpriority administrative expense claim which shall be senior in all respects to the superpriority administrative expense claim granted to such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral (with the relative priorities of all such superpriority administrative expense claims to be the same as the Lien priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof).

6.5 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any property of such reorganized Grantor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization, on account of the Senior-Priority Debt and/or the Junior-Priority Debt, then, to the extent that the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior-Priority Debt and/or on account of the Junior-Priority Debt are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

6.6 Separate Classes. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties are not “substantially similar” within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens to secure the Senior-Priority Debt and the grants of the Liens to secure the Junior-Priority Debt constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) (i) the rights of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Junior-Priority Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (ii) the rights of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in the Collateral are fundamentally different from the Senior-Priority Secured Parties’ rights in the Collateral and (d) as a result of the foregoing, among other things, the Senior-Priority Debt and the Junior-Priority Debt must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.7 Asset Dispositions. Except as otherwise set forth below, until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Junior-Priority Secured Parties will not object to or oppose (or support any Person in objecting to or opposing) a motion with respect to any sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Liens of any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any Bankruptcy Law and shall be deemed to have consented to any such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code that has been consented to by the Designated Senior-Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the requisite number of Senior-Priority Holders as determined in accordance with the applicable Senior-Priority Documents); provided, however, that, (i) the proceeds of such sale, lease, license, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral shall be applied to the Senior-Priority Debt or the Junior-Priority Debt in accordance with Section 4.1, or if not so applied, the Liens of such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent in such Collateral shall attach to the proceeds of such disposition subject to the relative

priorities set forth in Section 2.1 hereof and (ii) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Collateral in any such disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, so long as any such credit bid provides for the payment in full in cash of all Senior-Priority Debt.

6.8 Preference Issues. If any Senior-Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount (a “Recovery”), then the Senior-Priority Debt previously owing to such Senior-Priority Secured Party shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the Senior-Priority Secured Parties and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties provided for herein.

6.9 Certain Waivers as to Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, waives any claim any such Junior-Priority Secured Party may hereafter have against any Senior-Priority Secured Party arising out of the election by any Senior-Priority Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.

6.10 Other Bankruptcy Laws. In the event that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is filed in a jurisdiction other than the United States or is governed by any Bankruptcy Law other than the Bankruptcy Code, each reference in this Agreement to a section of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed to refer to the substantially similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law applicable to such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or in the absence of any specific similar or corresponding provision of the Bankruptcy Law, such other general Bankruptcy Law as may be applied in order to achieve substantially the same result as would be achieved under each applicable section of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 7. Reliance; Waivers, etc.

7.1 Reliance. The consent by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties to the incurrence of the Junior-Priority Debt, the execution and delivery of the Junior-Priority Documents and the grant to each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, of a Lien on the Collateral and all loans, other extensions of credit or other obligations made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior-Priority Secured Parties to any Grantor shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.

8.2 Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt shall have occurred or the final payment in full in cash of the Junior-Priority Debt and the termination and release by each Junior-Priority Secured Party of any Liens to secure the Junior-Priority Debt. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor constituting Senior-Priority Debt in reliance hereon. Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured

Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable Law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

8.3 When Discharge of Debt Deemed to Not Have Occurred.

(a) If substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt, the Borrower Refinances Indebtedness outstanding under any of the Senior-Priority Documents, then, after written notice to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Junior-Priority Documents, (a) the Indebtedness and other obligations arising pursuant to such Refinancing of the then outstanding Indebtedness under such Senior-Priority Documents shall automatically be treated as Senior-Priority Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (b) each Additional Senior-Priority Document governing or evidencing such new Indebtedness shall automatically be treated as a Senior-Priority Document for all purposes of this Agreement, (c) the Additional Agent under the Additional Senior-Priority Document shall be deemed to be a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (d) the Additional Holders under such Additional Senior-Priority Document shall be deemed to be Senior-Priority Holders for purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of such Refinancing (including the identity of the Additional Agent) and the delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Junior-Priority Documents, each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to provide to the Additional Agent the rights of a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent contemplated hereby and acknowledge that the Additional Holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the Senior-Priority Holders.

(b) If substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Junior-Priority Debt, the Borrower Refinances Indebtedness outstanding under any of the Junior-Priority Documents, then, after written notice to the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents, (a) the Indebtedness and other obligations arising pursuant to such Refinancing of the then outstanding Indebtedness under such Junior-Priority Documents shall automatically be treated as Junior-Priority Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (b) each Additional Junior-Priority Document governing or evidencing such new Indebtedness shall automatically be treated as a Junior-Priority Document for all purposes of this Agreement, (c) the Additional Agent shall be deemed to be a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (d) the Additional Holders under such Additional Junior-Priority Documents shall be deemed to be Junior-Priority Holders for purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of such Refinancing (including the identity of the Additional Agent) and delivery of an officer’s certificate of the Borrower certifying that such Refinancing is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents, each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into

an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder to provide to the Additional Agent the rights of a Junior-Priority Collateral Agent contemplated hereby and acknowledge that the Additional Holders shall be bound by the terms hereof to the extent applicable to the Junior-Priority Holders.

8.4 Legends on Junior-Priority Documents.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent agrees that each Junior-Priority Document that is a security agreement, pledge agreement, mortgage or deed of trust shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by each Senior-Priority Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Junior-Priority Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Senior-Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, in its capacity as Initial Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, Regions Bank, in its capacity as Initial Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, and CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. and certain of its affiliates. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

8.5 Amendments; Waivers.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or any Junior-Priority Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent that their rights or obligations are directly adversely affected; provided that any amendment, modification or waiver of Section 6.2, this Section 8.5(a), Section 8.5(b) and any component definitions or references shall be deemed to directly adversely affect the Grantors.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.5(a):

(i) The Borrower, without the consent of any Agent or any other party hereto, may determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment or supplement or an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional secured Indebtedness or other secured obligations (“Additional Debt”) of the Borrower or any of the other Grantors be treated as Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt, as the case may be, under this

Agreement, which supplemental agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the applicable Additional Agent and each other Agent and shall specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt; provided, however, that (A) the incurrence of such Additional Debt is not prohibited by the Senior Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents, and such documents do not prohibit such Additional Debt from being secured by Liens on the Collateral with a priority commensurate with Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt hereunder (as applicable), and (B) the terms of such supplemental agreement will contain terms substantially the same as the terms contained in this Agreement.

(ii) Upon the written request of the Borrower and delivery to each Agent of an officer’s certificate certifying that such Additional Debt is not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents or the Junior-Priority Documents, as applicable, the applicable Additional Agent and the other Agents and the Grantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement as described in clause (b)(i) above to (A) facilitate such Additional Debt becoming Senior-Priority Debt or Junior-Priority Debt to the extent that such obligations are not prohibited by the Senior-Priority Documents and the Junior-Priority Documents, as applicable, with the Lien priority contemplated by this Agreement and (B) include the applicable Additional Agent as a Senior-Priority Collateral Agent or Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in any case, the terms of such amendment shall be consistent with and contain terms substantially the same as the terms contained in this Agreement.

8.6 Subrogation.

(a) Each Junior-Priority Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to which such Junior-Priority Collateral Agent is acting as Agent, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior-Priority Debt has occurred.

8.7 Security Documents.

(a) In the event that any Senior-Priority Collateral Agent enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior-Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior-Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to (x) any comparable provision of the Comparable Junior-Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by any Junior-Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof); provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Junior-Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) unless such amendment, waiver or consent affects the Senior-Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner to the effect on the Junior-Priority Secured Parties (other than by virtue of their relative priorities and rights and obligations hereunder), no such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to the Comparable Junior-Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by, any Junior-Priority

Secured Party, if such amendment, waiver or consent materially and adversely affects the rights of the Junior-Priority Holders, (iii) no such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision applicable to the Agents under the Junior-Priority Documents shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Junior-Priority Security Document, without the prior written consent of such Agents, (iv) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents on the date of its effectiveness (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity of such amendment, waiver or consent) and (v) a copy of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given by the Senior-Priority Collateral Agents to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agents.

8.8 Notices. All notices to the Junior-Priority Secured Parties and the Senior-Priority Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the applicable, Junior-Priority Collateral Agent and Senior-Priority Collateral Agent, respectively.
