NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and obligations herein set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. LIEN PRIORITIES
1.1 Seniority Of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations
(a) A Lien on Collateral securing any First Lien Obligation up to but not in excess of the First Lien Cap will at all times be senior and prior in all respects to a Lien on such Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligation, and a Lien on Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligation will at all times be junior and subordinate in all respects to a Lien on such Collateral securing any First Lien Obligation up to but not in excess of the First Lien Cap.
(b) [Reserved].
5
(c) The Lien on Collateral securing any First Lien Obligation in excess of the First Lien Cap will have the priority set forth in section 1.11, “Subordination of Liens Securing Excess First Lien Obligations.”
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the priority of the Liens securing First Lien Obligations and the rights and obligations of the Parties will remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i) how a Lien was acquired (whether by xxxxx, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation, or otherwise),
(ii) the time, manner, or order of the grant, attachment, or perfection of a Lien,
(iii) any conflicting provision of the U.C.C. or other applicable law,
(iv) any defect in, or non-perfection, setting aside, or avoidance of, a Lien or a First Lien Document or a Second Lien Loan Document,
(v) the modification of a First Lien Obligation or a Second Lien Obligation,
(vi) the modification of a First Lien Document or a Second Lien Document,
(vii) the subordination of a Lien on Collateral securing a First Lien Obligation to a Lien securing another obligation of a Grantor or other Person that is permitted under the First Lien Documents as in effect on the date hereof or secures a DIP Financing deemed consented to by the Second Lien Claimholders pursuant to section 6.1, “Use of Collateral and DIP Financing,”
(viii) the exchange of a security interest in any Collateral for a security interest in other Collateral,
(ix) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, or
(x) any other circumstance whatsoever, including a circumstance that might be a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Grantor in respect of a First Lien Obligation or a Second Lien Obligation or holder of such Obligation.
1.2 No Payment Subordination; No Prohibitions on Equity Conversions or Exercise of Warrants
(a) The subordination of Liens securing Second Lien Obligations to Liens securing First Lien Obligations set forth in the preceding section 1.1 affects only the relative priority of those Liens, and does not subordinate the
6
Second Lien Obligations in right of payment to the First Lien Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the entitlement of any Second Lien Claimholder to receive and retain required payments of interest, principal, and other amounts in respect of a Second Lien Obligation unless the receipt is expressly prohibited by, or results from the Second Lien Claimholder’s breach of, this Agreement.
(b) In addition, nothing in this Agreement will affect the right and entitlement of (i) any Second Lien Claimholder to (1) convert some or all the Second Lien Obligations held by it into Shares of Common Stock and to receive and retain cash from Terran PubCo in lieu of receiving fractional shares of Common Stock, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Second Lien NPA, and/or (2) exercise some or all of the Initial Warrants or Delayed Draw Warrants and to receive and retain cash from Terran PubCo in lieu of receiving fractional shares of a Warrant Share, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Second Lien NPA, or (ii) Terran PubCo to issue new Shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares to a Second Lien Claimholder, or to pay cash to a Second Lien Claimholder in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Common Stock or Warrant Shares, pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of the Second Lien NPA.
1.3 First Lien Obligations And Second Lien Obligations
(a) “First Lien Obligations” means all Obligations of the Grantors under:
(i) the First Lien NPAs and the other First Lien Documents, and
(ii) any other agreement or instrument granting or providing for the perfection of a Lien securing any of the foregoing
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the term “First Lien Obligations” will include accrued interest, fees, costs, and other charges under the First Lien Documents, whether incurred before or after commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, and whether or not allowable in an Insolvency Proceeding. To the extent that any payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations (whether by or on behalf of any Grantor, as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off, or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect, set-aside, or required to be paid to a debtor in possession, trustee, receiver, or similar Person, then the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.
(b) “Second Lien Obligations” means all Obligations of the Grantors under:
(i) the Second Lien NPA and the other Second Lien Documents, and
(ii) any other agreement or instrument granting or providing for the perfection of a Lien securing any of the foregoing.
7
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the term “Second Lien Obligations” include accrued interest, fees, costs, and other charges incurred under the Second Lien Documents, whether incurred before or after commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, and whether or not allowable in an Insolvency Proceeding.
(c) The First Lien Agents, the First Lien Authorized Person, and all other holders of First Lien Obligations are, together, the “First Lien Claimholders”. The Second Lien Agent and all other holders of Second Lien Obligations are, together, the “Second Lien Claimholders”.
1.4 First Lien Cap
“First Lien Cap” means, as of any date of determination, the sum of:
(a) 110% of the aggregate outstanding amount of First Lien Principal Obligations on the date hereof, plus
(b) all accrued but unpaid interest (including interest paid in kind), commitment, facility, utilization, and other analogous fees and, if applicable, prepayment premiums on the First Lien Principal Obligations referred to in clause (a) above at the respective interest rates set forth in the First Lien NPAs, as in effect on the date hereof, plus
(c) all fees, expenses, premium (if any), reimbursement obligations, and other amounts of a type not referred to in clause (a) or (b) above payable in respect of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, in each case payable pursuant to the First Lien Documents; provided that the First Lien Cap shall not apply to any DIP Financing provided by any First Lien Claimholder.
1.5 First And Second Lien Collateral To Be Identical
(a) The Parties intend that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical. Accordingly, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Parties will reasonably cooperate, (1) to the extent necessary, to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon, and the identity of the Persons having First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligation, and (2) to make the forms, documents, and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and Second Lien Collateral and the guaranties of the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations materially the same, other than with respect to the first and second lien nature of the Liens.
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, and whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has commenced, no Grantor will grant, and each Grantor will use their best efforts to prevent any other Person from granting, a Lien on any property:
8
(i) in favor of a First Lien Claimholder to secure any First Lien Obligations unless such Grantor or such other Person grants (or offers to grant with a reasonable opportunity for the Lien to be accepted) Second Lien Agent a junior Lien on such property to secure the Second Lien Obligations (however, the refusal of Second Lien Agent to accept such Lien will not prevent the First Lien Claimholder from taking the Lien), and
(ii) in favor of a Second Lien Claimholder to secure the Second Lien Obligations unless such Grantor or such other Person grants (or offers to grant with a reasonable opportunity for the Lien to be accepted) each First Lien Agent a senior Lien on such property to secure their respective First Lien Obligations (however, the refusal of one or both First Lien Agents to accept such Lien will not prevent the Second Lien Claimholder from taking the Lien).
(b) Subject to section 1.1, “Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations,” if a Second Lien Claimholder hereafter acquires a Lien on property to secure a Second Lien Obligation where the property is not also subject to a Lien securing the First Lien Obligations, then such Second Lien Claimholder will give each First Lien Agent written notice of such Lien no later than five (5) Business Days after acquiring such Lien. If one or both First Lien Agents also obtains a Lien on such property or if such Second Lien Claimholder fails to provide such timely notice to the First Lien Agents, then such property will be deemed to be Collateral for all purposes hereunder and the relative rights of the First Lien Agents with respect to such Collateral shall be governed by the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
1.6 Pledged Collateral
(a) If a First Lien Agent has any Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), including deposit accounts and investment property, pursuant to the U.C.C. (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”), then, subject to section 1.1, “Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations,” and this section 1.6, such First Lien Agent will possess or control the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection for the benefit of Second Lien Agent as secured party, so as to satisfy the requirements of sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), and 9-313(c) of the U.C.C. In this section 1.6, “control” has the meaning given that term in sections 8-106 and 9-314 of the U.C.C.
(b) Such First Lien Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Claimholder (subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that any Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors, to perfect the security interests of the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this section 1.6.
9
Subject to the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the duties or responsibilities of each First Lien Agent under this section 1.6 will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection in accordance with this section 1.6 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in subsection (d) below.
(c) Second Lien Agent xxxxxx xxxxxx and releases each First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of such First Lien Agent’s role under this section 1.6 as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged Collateral.
(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Agent will deliver or transfer control of any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty):
(i) to Second Lien Agent if any Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and will take any other action reasonably requested by Second Lien Agent (at the expense of the Note Parties or, upon default by the Note Parties in payment or reimbursement thereof, Second Lien Agent) in connection with Second Lien Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Pledged Collateral, and
(ii) if a Discharge of Second Lien Obligations has already occurred, to the First Lien Authorized Person if any Excess First Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and
(iii) if a Discharge of Excess First Lien Obligations has already occurred, to Terran OpCo or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to the same.
Without limiting the foregoing, upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each First Lien Agent shall deliver, pursuant to and in accordance with each applicable lockbox account agreement, landlord’s waiver and consent, bailee letter, deposit account control agreement, investment account control agreement, or any other similar agreement to which a First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent are parties, a “Controlling Party Notice” or other similar notice pursuant to which the such First Lien Agent shall cease to be, and the Second Lien Agent shall commence to be, the controlling party thereunder, or, if the Second Lien Agent is not a party to one or more such agreements, such First Lien Agent will, if permitted by the terms thereof, assign such agreements to the Second Lien Agent, or, if such assignment is not permitted, the First Lien Agents will terminate such agreements.
10
(e) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, if any Second Lien Claimholder has possession of any Pledged Collateral, such Second Lien Claimholder shall turn over possession of such Collateral to the First Lien Authorized Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Second Lien Agent has any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, then, subject to section 1.1, “Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations,” and this section 1.6, Second Lien Agent will possess or control the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection for the benefit of each First Lien Agent as secured party, so as to satisfy the requirements of sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2), and 9-313(c) of the U.C.C.
(f) Second Lien Agent will have no obligation to any First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder to ensure that any Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors, to perfect the security interests of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this section 1.6. The duties or responsibilities of Second Lien Agent under this section 1.6 will be limited solely to possessing or controlling the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee and /or gratuitous agent for perfection in accordance with this section 1.6 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Second Lien Obligations as provided in subsection (h) below.
(g) Each First Lien Agent hereby waives and releases Second Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of Second Lien Agent’s role under this section 1.6 as gratuitous bailee and/or gratuitous agent for perfection with respect to the Pledged Collateral.
(h) Upon the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, Second Lien Agent will deliver or transfer control of any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control, together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsements will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty):
(i) first, to the First Lien Agents if any First Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and will take any other action reasonably requested by a First Lien Agent (at the expense of the Note Parties or, upon default by the Note Parties in payment or reimbursement thereof, First Lien Agents) in connection with the First Lien Agents obtaining a first-priority interest in the Pledged Collateral, and
(ii) second, to Terran PubCo.
1.7 Limitations On Duties And Obligations
(a) (1) except for Second Lien Agent’s express obligations under section 1.6, “Pledged Collateral,” each First Lien Agent will be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Liens on its respective First
11
Lien Collateral, and (2) except for each First Lien Agent’s express obligations under section 1.6, “Pledged Collateral,” Second Lien Agent will be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Liens on the Second Lien Collateral.
(b) This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders and does not impose on First Lien Agents, the First Lien Authorized Person or Second Lien Agent any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral that would conflict with a prior perfected claim in favor of another Person, an order or decree of a court or other Governmental Authority, or applicable law.
(c) Except for obligations expressly provided for under section 1.6, “Pledged Collateral,” the First Lien Claimholders will have no liability to any Second Lien Claimholder for any action by a First Lien Claimholder with respect to any First Lien Obligations or Collateral, including:
(i) the maintenance, preservation, or collection of First Lien Obligations or any Collateral, and
(ii) the foreclosure upon, or the sale, liquidation, maintenance, preservation, or other disposition of, any Collateral.
(d) No First Lien Agent will have by reason of this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship with any First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder. The Parties recognize that the interests of the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, may differ, and the First Lien Agents may act in their own interest without taking into account the interests of any Second Lien Claimholder.
1.8 Prohibition On Contesting Liens; No Marshaling
(a) No First Lien Agent will contest in any proceeding (including an Insolvency Proceeding) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or extent of any Lien held, or purported to be held by the Second Lien Agent, securing a Second Lien Obligation, but nothing in this section 1.8 will impair the rights of any First Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or the provisions for exercise of remedies.
(b) Second Lien Agent will not contest in any proceeding (including an Insolvency Proceeding) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority or extent of any Lien held, or purported to be held by any First Lien Agent, securing a First Lien Obligation, but nothing in this section 1.8 will impair the rights of any Second Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement,
12
including the priority of the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations or the provisions for exercise of remedies.
(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Agent will not assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation, or other similar right that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.
1.9 Confirmation of Subordination in Second Lien Collateral Documents
Upon the reasonable request of any First Lien Authorized Person or First Lien Agent, Terran PubCo will cause each Second Lien Collateral Document to include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Authorized Person):
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to Second Lien Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Second Lien Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Amended and Restated First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated August 15, 2024, among Terran Orbital Corporation, Terran Orbital Operating Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of Terran Orbital Operating Corporation from time to time party thereto, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as collateral agent for the Bridge Notes Secured Parties (as defined therein), U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent for the LM/BP Notes Secured Parties (as defined therein), Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as collateral agent for the FP Notes Secured Parties (as defined therein), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as collateral agent for the Second Lien Secured Parties (as defined therein).”
If there is a conflict between the terms of any Second Lien Document and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will control.
1.10 Release Of Liens
(a) If a First Lien Agent releases a Lien on Collateral or releases a Grantor from its Obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, in connection with:
(i) an Enforcement Action, or
(ii) a Disposition of any Collateral under the First Lien Documents other than pursuant to an Enforcement Action (whether or not there is an event of default under the First Lien Documents), then any Lien of Second Lien Agent on such Collateral and the Obligations of the Grantor under such guaranty of the Second Lien Obligations will be, except as otherwise provided below, automatically and simultaneously released to the same extent, and Second Lien Agent will promptly execute and deliver to the First Lien Agents such termination statements, releases, and other documents as the First Lien Agents reasonably request to effectively confirm the release;
13
provided that such release will not occur without the consent of Second Lien Agent:
1. for an Enforcement Action, as to any Collateral the net Proceeds of the disposition of which will not be applied to repay the First Lien Obligations, or
2. for a Disposition, if the Disposition is prohibited by a provision of the Second Lien NPA.
(b) Second Lien Agent hereby appoints the First Lien Authorized Person, or any officer or agent of the First Lien Authorized Person, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of Second Lien Agent or in the First Lien Authorized Person’s own name, in the First Lien Authorized Person’s discretion to take any action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be reasonable and appropriate for the limited purpose of carrying out the terms of this section 1.10, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.
(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the extent that a First Lien Agent:
(i) releases a Lien on Collateral or a Grantor from its Obligations under its guaranty, which Lien or guaranty is reinstated, or
(ii) obtains a new Lien or additional guaranty from a Grantor, then Second Lien Agent will be granted a Lien on such Collateral and an additional guaranty, as the case may be, subject to section 1.1, “Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations.”
1.11 Subordination of Liens Securing Excess First Lien Obligations
(a) All Liens securing Second Lien Obligations will be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any Excess First Lien Obligations, as defined below (but only with respect to such excess amounts), and all Liens of the First Lien Claimholders securing any Excess First Lien Obligations will be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Lien securing a Second Lien Obligation.
(b) “Excess First Lien Obligations” means any First Lien Obligations that are in excess of the First Lien Cap.
(c) With respect to the Excess First Lien Obligations and Collateral (including Proceeds),
14
(i) First Lien Claimholders will have rights and obligations (other than the obligations in respect to the Standstill Period) analogous to the rights and obligations Second Lien Claimholders have under this Agreement with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral (including Proceeds), and
(ii) Second Lien Claimholders will have rights and obligations analogous to the rights and obligations First Lien Claimholders have under this Agreement with respect to the First Lien Obligations that are not in excess of the First Lien Cap, and the Collateral (including Proceeds).
(d) Nothing in this section 1.11 will waive any breach of, default or event of default under the Second Lien Documents or this Agreement resulting from:
(i) the incurrence of Obligations under the First Lien Documents in excess of the First Lien Cap, or
(ii) the grant of Liens under the First Lien Collateral Documents securing any such excess amounts, or the right of Second Lien Claimholders to exercise any rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents as a result thereof.
2. MODIFICATION OF OBLIGATIONS
2.1 Permitted Modifications
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this section 2,

(g) for the Second Lien Obligations, modifies any covenant, default, or event of default to make such covenant, default or event of default materially more restrictive as to any Grantor, except for modifications to match changes made to the First Lien Obligations so as to preserve, on substantially similar economic terms, any differential that exists on the date hereof between the covenants, defaults, or events of default in the First Lien Collateral Documents and the covenants, defaults, or events of default in the Second Lien Collateral Documents;
(h) for the Second Lien Obligations, accelerates any date upon which a scheduled payment of principal or interest is due;
(i) for the Second Lien Obligations, changes a prepayment, redemption, or defeasance provision so as to require a new payment or accelerate an existing payment Obligation; or

17
(b) impose duties on Second Lien Agent without its consent,
(c) permit other Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Second Lien Documents or section 6, “Insolvency Proceedings,” of this Agreement, or

19
(iv) join (but not exercise any control over) a judicial foreclosure or Lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by the First Lien Authorized Person, to the extent that such action could not reasonably be expected to interfere materially with the Enforcement Action, but no Second Lien Claimholder may receive any Proceeds thereof unless expressly permitted herein,
(v) bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private, or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any First Lien Claimholder, or any sale of Collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Lien Obligations unless such bid also includes cash sufficient to cause the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, and/or

20
(f) Terran PubCo will promptly notify Second Lien Agent of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(c) No Second Lien Claimholder will contest, protest, object to, or take any action to hinder, and each waives any and all claims with respect to, any Enforcement Action by a First Lien Claimholder so long as any proceed received by any First Lien Claimholder in excess of those necessary to achieve a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are distributed in accordance with section 4.1, “Application of Proceeds,” and applicable law.
3.3 Specific Performance
The First Lien Authorized Person, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, and Second Lien Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, may each demand specific performance of this Agreement, and each irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy

at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action brought by the First Lien Authorized Person or and Second Lien Agent, respectively.
4. PAYMENTS
4.1 Application Of Proceeds
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and the Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, and regardless of whether an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, Collateral or Proceeds received in connection with an Enforcement Action, subject to section 6.7, “Reorganization Securities,” involving a Grantor will be applied:

(c) third, to the payment in full of any Excess First Lien Obligations, and
(d) fourth, to the applicable Grantor or as otherwise required by applicable law.
in each case as specified in the First Lien Documents (and, if then in effect, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or the Second Lien Documents, as applicable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, any non-cash proceeds (other than Reorganization Securities) will be held by the First Lien Authorized Person as Collateral unless the failure to apply such amounts as set above would be commercially unreasonable.
4.2 Insurance
Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Authorized Person shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of the Collateral, shall be paid to the First Lien Authorized Person for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (and, if then in effect, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the Second Lien Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Second Lien Documents and then, to the extent no Second Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the any Second Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention
22
of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Authorized Person in accordance with section 4.3, “Payment Turnover,” of this Agreement.
4.3 Payment Turnover
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has commenced, Collateral or Proceeds (including insurance proceeds or property or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in paragraph (d) of section 1.5, “First and Second Lien Collateral to Be Identical”) received by a Second Lien Claimholder in connection with an Enforcement Action, subject to section 6.7, “Reorganization Securities,” will be:
(a) segregated and held in trust, and
(b) promptly paid over to the First Lien Authorized Person in the form received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and applied in accordance with section 4.1 “Application of Proceeds.” The First Lien Authorized Person is authorized to make such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Claimholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

If, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, Terran PubCo or Terran OpCo, as applicable, issues or incurs Refinancing of some or all of the First Lien Obligations that is permitted to be incurred under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and Second Lien Documents, such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (except for actions taken as a result of the initial Discharge of First Lien Obligations). Upon Second Lien Agent’s receipt of a notice stating that Terran PubCo or Terran OpCo, as applicable, has entered into a new First Lien Document and identifying the new First Lien Agent (the “New Agent”):

(c) Second Lien Agent will promptly:
(i) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as Terran PubCo, Terran OpCo or the New Agent reasonably requests to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, and
23
(ii) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral), and
(d) the New Agent will promptly agree in a writing addressed to Second Lien Agent to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
If any Obligations under the new First Lien Documents are secured by Collateral that does not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Grantors will cause the Second Lien Obligations to be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such Collateral to the same extent provided in the First Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

5.7 No Recourse Or Warranties; Defaulting Creditors

(b) The purchase and sale of the First Lien Obligations under this section 5 will be without recourse and without representation or warranty of any kind by First Lien Claimholders, except that First Lien Claimholders (other than the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Authorized Persons) represent and

(i) any use, sale, or lease of “cash collateral” (as defined in section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and
(ii) any Grantor obtaining DIP Financing, if, in each case, the First Lien Authorized Person consents in writing to such use, sale, or lease, or DIP Financing; provided that:
1. Second Lien Agent otherwise retains its Lien on the Collateral on the same priority basis as set forth in section 1.1, “Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations,”
27
2. any Second Lien Claimholder may seek adequate protection as permitted by section 6.4, “Adequate Protection,”
3. such DIP Financing and the Liens securing such DIP Financing are pari passu with or superior in priority to the then outstanding First Lien Obligations and the Liens securing such First Lien Obligations (and Second Lien Agent will subordinate its Liens on the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto)), and
4. Upon written request from the First Lien Authorized Person, Second Lien Agent, as holder of a Lien on the Collateral, will at the sole cost and expense of the First Lien Claimholders, join any objection by the First Lien Authorized Person to the use, sale, or lease of cash collateral for any purpose other than adequate protection payments to Second Lien Claimholders.
(b) No Second Lien Claimholder may provide DIP Financing to any Grantor secured by Xxxxx equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any First Lien Obligations; provided that if the First Lien Authorized Person states in writing to Terran PubCo or the Second Lien Agent at any time prior to or after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, or states on the record in any Insolvency Proceeding, that the First Lien Claimholders will not provide DIP Financing, and the First Lien Authorized Person has not consented in writing under this section 6.1 to another Person providing DIP Financing that complies with this section 6.1 (and such consent has not been withdrawn), then a Second Lien Claimholder may provide DIP Financing secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any First Lien Obligations, and the First Lien Claimholders may object thereto; provided that such DIP Financing may not “roll-up” or otherwise include or refinance any pre-petition Second Lien Obligations. In addition, the holders of First Lien Obligations shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to offer each Second Lien Claimholder an opportunity to participate in any proposed DIP Financing that is provided by some or all of the holders of the First Lien Obligations; provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the commitments of the Second Lien Claimholders under such DIP Financing shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the commitments of all lenders under such DIP Financing (and in any event, if Lockheed Xxxxxx and its affiliates are not the Controlling Secured Parties under and as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement at the time such DIP Financing commitments are determined, the aggregate principal amount of the commitments of Lockheed Xxxxxx and its affiliates in their capacities as lenders under such DIP Financing shall not exceed 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the commitments of all lenders under such
28
DIP Financing), and (ii) no amendment of, or waiver or consent under, such DIP Financing shall require the signature or any other consent of any Second Lien Claimholders, unless the same disproportionately and adversely affects such Second Lien Claimholders (solely in its capacity as a lender under such DIP Financing) as compared to the effect of such amendment, waiver or consent upon the lenders under such DIP Financing holding loans of the same type as such Second Lien Secured Claimholders.
(c) Nothing in this section 6.1 limits or impairs the right of Second Lien Agent to object to any motion regarding DIP Financing (including a DIP Financing proposed by one or more holders of the First Lien Obligations) or cash collateral to the extent that the DIP Financing does not meet the requirements of section 6.1(a).

(a) either (i) pursuant to court order, the Liens of Second Lien Claimholders attach to the net Proceeds of the Disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by Second Lien Claimholders on such Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the Proceeds of a Disposition of Collateral received by a First Lien Agent in excess of those necessary to achieve the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, are distributed in accordance with the U.C.C. and applicable law.
(b) Second Lien Claimholders have the right to credit bid on the Collateral in any such Disposition in accordance with section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code as long as such bid also includes sufficient cash to satisfy in full all First Lien Obligations (other than excess First Lien Obligations).
Upon the First Lien Authorized Person’s request and at the sole cost and expense of the holders of the First Lien Obligations, Second Lien Agent, solely in its capacity as holder of a Lien on Collateral, will join any objection asserted by a First Lien Agent to any Disposition of Collateral during an Insolvency Proceeding.
6.3 Relief From The Automatic Stay
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, no Second Lien Claimholder may seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in an Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents or oppose any request by a First Lien Agent for relief from such stay, except to the extent that a First Lien Agent seeks or obtains relief from or modification of such stay.

(b) Notwithstanding the preceding section 6.4(a), in an Insolvency Proceeding:
(i) Except as permitted below in this section 6.4, no Second Lien Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection or relief from the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(ii) If a First Lien Claimholder is granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement Collateral, or as an administrative expense claim, in connection with a motion described in section 6.1, “Use of Cash Collateral and DIP Financing,” then Second Lien Agent may seek or request adequate protection in the same form, with any adequate protection Liens being subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all related Obligations) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and any administrative expense claim junior and subordinate to the administrative expense claim to the administrative expense claim of the First Lien Claimholders.
(iii) Any claim by a Second Lien Claimholder under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code will be subordinate in right of payment to any claim of First Lien Claimholders under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and any payment thereof will be deemed to be Proceeds of Collateral; provided that, subject to section 6.7, “Reorganization Securities,” Second Lien Claimholders will be deemed to have agreed pursuant to section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code that such section 507(b) claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims.
(iv) So long as the First Lien Agents are receiving payment in cash of all Post-Petition Claims consisting of all interest at the applicable rate under the First Lien Documents, Second Lien Agent may seek and, subject to the terms hereof, retain payments of Post-Petition Claims consisting of interest at the applicable rate under the Second Lien
30
Documents (“Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments”). If a Second Lien Claimholder receives Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments before the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, then upon the effective date of any plan or the conclusion or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Second Lien Claimholder will pay over to the First Lien Authorized Person, as they direct, pursuant to section 4.1, “Application of Proceeds,” an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by the Second Lien Claimholder and (ii) the amount necessary to Discharge the First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, First Lien Claimholders will not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, requests by Second Lien Agent, for Second Lien Adequate Protection Payments (other than as permitted under section 6.4(b)(i)-(iii)).
6.5 First Lien Objections To Second Lien Actions
Subject to section 3.1, “Who May Exercise Remedies,” nothing in this section 6 limits a First Lien Claimholder from objecting in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by a Second Lien Claimholder, including the Second Lien Claimholder’s seeking adequate protection (other than adequate protection permitted under section 6.4(b)) or asserting any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise, or limits the rights of such Second Lien Claimholder to respond to any such objections.
6.6 Avoidance; Reinstatement Of Obligations
If a First Lien Claimholder or a Second Lien Claimholder receives payment or property on account of a First Lien Obligation or Second Lien Obligation, and the payment is subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee, receiver, or the estate of a Grantor (a “Recovery”), then, to the extent of the Recovery, the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations intended to have been satisfied by the payment will be reinstated as First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, on the date of the Recovery, and no Discharge of First Lien Obligations or Discharge of Second Lien Obligations, as applicable, will be deemed to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement is terminated prior to a Recovery, this Agreement will be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination will not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from the date of reinstatement. Upon any such reinstatement of First Lien Obligations, each Second Lien Claimholder will deliver to the First Lien Authorized Person, as they direct, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof received between the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and their reinstatement in accordance with section 4.3, “Payment Turnover.”
6.7 Reorganization Securities
Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of a Second Lien Claimholder to receive and retain any debt or equity securities that are issued by a reorganized debtor pursuant to
31
a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding (any such securities, the “Reorganization Securities”).
If, in an Insolvency Proceeding, the Reorganization Securities of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the Reorganization Securities distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such Reorganization Securities pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such Reorganization Securities.
6.8 Post-Petition Claims
(a) No Second Lien Claimholder may oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a First Lien Claimholder for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims, without regard to the existence of the Liens of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.
(b) No First Lien Claimholder may oppose or seek to challenge in an Insolvency Proceeding a claim by a Second Lien Claimholder for allowance of Second Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Obligations on the Collateral (after taking into account the amount of First Lien Obligations).
6.9 Waivers
Second Lien Agent waives:
(a) any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of the election of any First Lien Claimholders of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in an Insolvency Proceeding, so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement, and
(b) any right to assert or enforce any claim under section 506(c) or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code as against First Lien Claimholders or any of the Collateral to the extent securing the First Lien Obligations.
6.10 Separate Grants Of Security And Separate Classification
The grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants. Because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations, to the extent deemed to be “secured claims” within the meaning of section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of
32
reorganization in an Insolvency Proceeding. Second Lien Claimholders will not seek in an Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as First Lien Claimholders and will not oppose or contest any pleading by First Lien Claimholders seeking separate classification of their respective secured claims.
6.11 Effectiveness In Insolvency Proceedings
The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during, and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency Proceeding.
7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Conflicts
If this Agreement conflicts with the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, this Agreement will control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of First Lien Claimholders (as amongst themselves) with respect to any First Lien Collateral shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement relating to any First Lien Collateral, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall control solely with regard to such rights and obligations. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, under the First Lien Documents and the Second Lien Documents, including the obligations to pay the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
7.2 No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative; Integration
A Party’s failure or delay in exercising a right under this Agreement will not waive the right, nor will a Party’s single or partial exercise of a right preclude it from any other or further exercise of that or any other right. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement will be cumulative and not exclusive of other rights or remedies provided by law. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, relating to its subject matter.
7.3 Effectiveness; Severability; Termination
This Agreement will become effective when executed and delivered by the Parties. Each First Lien Claimholder and each Second Lien Claimholder waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any provision thereunder or consent by it thereto. This Agreement will survive, and continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding. If a provision of this Agreement is prohibited or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, the prohibition or unenforceability will not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, or invalidate or render unenforceable that provision in any other jurisdiction.
33

7.4 Modifications Of This Agreement
A modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will only be effective if in writing signed on behalf of each Party or its authorized agent, and a waiver will be a waiver only for the specific instance involved and will not impair the rights of the Parties making the waiver or the obligations of the other Parties to such Party in any other respect or at any other time.

7.5 Information Concerning Financial Condition Of Grantors

If a Second Lien Claimholder pays or distributes cash, property, or other assets to a First Lien Claimholder under this Agreement, the Second Lien Claimholder will be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Claimholder with respect to the value of the payment or distribution; provided that the Second Lien Claimholder waives such right of subrogation until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. Such payment or distribution will not reduce the Second Lien Obligations.
