Table of Contents
(a) The Incremental Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is a “Loan Party” (in the capacity of a Borrower) and a “Borrower” under the Credit Agreement effective upon the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date. All references in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the term “Loan Party,” “Loan Parties,” or “Borrower” shall be deemed to include the Incremental Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Incremental Borrower hereby (i) repeats and reaffirms all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement attributable to a Loan Party and applicable to the Incremental Borrower and (ii) agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement as a Loan Party and a Borrower thereunder.
(b) All Obligations of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several Obligations of each Borrower, including following the joinder of any additional party as a “Borrower” hereunder. Anything contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Obligations of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower thereunder, solely to the extent that the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower, as the case may be, did not receive proceeds of Term Loans from any borrowing thereunder, shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its Obligations thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under §548 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §548, or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower, as the case may be, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower, as the case may be, in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to any other Loan Party or Affiliates of any other Loan Party to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Loan Party thereunder) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower, as the case may be, and other Affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under guarantees by such parties.
(c) Until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash, the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution or any other right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, or any other Guarantor of the Obligations. Each of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower may have against the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, any collateral or security or any such other Guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Collateral Agent may have against the Incremental Borrower and the Existing Borrower, any such collateral or security, and any such other Guarantor. The Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower together desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their Obligations arising under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by any Borrower
16
Table of Contents
under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a “Funding Borrower”) that exceeds its Obligation Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, that Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Borrower in the amount of such other Borrower’s Obligation Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Borrower’s Obligation Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Obligation Fair Share as of such date. “Obligation Fair Share” means, with respect to a Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Borrower to (y) the aggregate of the Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Borrowers, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents in respect of the Obligations guaranteed. “Obligation Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Borrower as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Obligation Fair Share of such Borrower over the Obligation Aggregate Payments of such Borrower. “Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Borrower as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the Obligations of such Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents that would not render its Obligations thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under §548 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §548, or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the Obligation Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Borrower for purposes of this Section 9(c), any assets or liabilities of such Loan Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or Obligations of contribution hereunder or under the Credit Agreement shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Borrower. “Obligation Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Borrower in respect of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in respect of this Section 9(c)) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Borrower from the other Borrower as contributions under this Section 9(c). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Borrower. The allocation among the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower of their Obligations as set forth in this Section 9(c) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of either Borrower under any Loan Document.
(d) Each of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Secured Party, as a condition of payment or performance by the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower, to (i) proceed against the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, any Guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, any Guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively or any Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Incremental Borrower or the Existing Borrower, respectively, or any Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or
17
Table of Contents
rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of its obligations under the Credit Agreement, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability under the Credit Agreement or the enforcement thereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default under the Credit Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the ability of or exonerate Guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.
(e) In order to efficiently fund and operate their respective businesses and minimize the number of borrowings which they will make under the Credit Agreement and thereby reduce the administrative costs and record keeping required in connection therewith, including the necessity to enter into and maintain separately identified and monitored borrowing facilities, the Incremental Borrower hereby designates the Existing Borrower as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of giving and receiving all notices and consents under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers under the Loan Documents (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”). The Existing Borrower as the Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment, no Borrower other than the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to take any of the foregoing actions.
(f) Each of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower hereby acknowledges that it will be receiving substantial direct and indirect benefit from each Term Loan made pursuant to this Amendment since the successful operation of each of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower will be facilitated by the efficiencies achieved by the integrated financial management contemplated hereunder. The administration by the Administrative Agent and Lenders of the Term Loans under this Amendment as a co-borrowing facility or co-borrowing facilities in the manner set forth herein is solely as an accommodation to the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower and at their request, and none of the Arrangers, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall incur any liability to either of the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower as a result thereof.
(g) For any and all purposes related to giving and receiving notices and communications between the Existing Borrower and/or the Incremental Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, under Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, each of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Borrower Representative (and each Authorized Officer thereof) as its agent to whom the Administrative Agent and each Lender may give and from whom the Administrative Agent and each Lender may receive all such notices and communications, and the Administrative Agent and each Lender is entitled to rely upon (and treat as being properly authorized by the Borrowers) any verbal or written notices or communications purportedly received from (or that the Administrative Agent or such Lender
18
Table of Contents
believes in good faith to be received from) such Authorized Officer. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from the Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing in any manner, all representations and warranties of the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower contained herein are made jointly and severally. For purposes of the agreements, representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Amendment and in the other Loan Documents, the knowledge of the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower shall be imputed to the other and any consent by the Existing Borrower or the Incremental Borrower (including the Borrower Representative) shall constitute the consent of and shall bind both the Existing Borrower and the Incremental Borrower.
Section 10. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery” and words of like import in or relating to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to include Electronic Signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. “Electronic Signature” means an electronic sound, symbol or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and adopted by a person with the intent to sign, authenticate or accept such contract or record.
Section 11. Governing Law and Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The jurisdiction and waiver of right to trial by jury provisions in Sections 9.09 and 9.10 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference mutatis mutandis.
Section 12. Headings. The headings of this Amendment are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 13. Effect of Amendment.
(a) On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, mean and are
19
Table of Contents
a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified by this Amendment. This Amendment is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the Credit Agreement and shall be construed, administered and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) The Credit Agreement, as specifically amended by this Amendment, and each of the other Loan Documents are and shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do and shall continue to secure the payment of all of the respective Obligations of Holdco and the Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case as the Credit Agreement is amended by this Amendment.
(c) The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment does not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents nor constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Loan Documents and nothing herein can or may be construed as a novation thereof.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent entered into Amendment No. 6 to create the Incremental Term Commitments.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Each New Incremental Term Lender hereby agrees to provide the Incremental Term Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.01(z) of the Credit Agreement. The Incremental Term Commitment provided pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms in the Credit Agreement and to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from the Guarantees and security interests created by the Collateral Documents
Table of Contents
Each New Incremental Term Lender, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Incremental Term Commitment provided pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute Incremental Term Commitments for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents. Each New Incremental Term Lender hereby agrees to make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment on the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date in accordance with Section 2.01(z) of the Credit Agreement.
Each New Incremental Term Lender (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to therein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any other New Incremental Term Lender or any other Lender or Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
Upon (i) the execution of a counterpart of this Agreement by each New Incremental Term Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and (ii) the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a fully executed counterpart (including by way of telecopy or other electronic transmission) hereof, each of the undersigned New Incremental Term Lenders shall become Lenders under the Credit Agreement and shall have the respective Incremental Term Commitment set forth on its signature page hereto, effective as of the Amendment No. 6 Effective Date.
For each New Incremental Term Lender, delivered herewith to the Administrative Agent are such forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as such New Incremental Term Lender may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Credit Agreement.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by an instrument or instruments in writing signed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

PRIORITIES AND AGREEMENTS
WITH RESPECT TO SHARED COLLATERAL
Section 2.01 Priority of Liens. Notwithstanding the date, time, manner or order of filing or recordation of any document or instrument or grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens granted to any Representative or any other Secured Party on the Shared Collateral (or any actual or alleged defect in any of the foregoing) and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any Bankruptcy Law, any other applicable law, any Debt Document or any other circumstance whatsoever, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Debt Facility, hereby agrees that, so long as the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations of all Series has not occurred, (A) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Initial First Priority Representative, any other First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority over and be senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligations and (B) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Initial Second Priority Representative, any other Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party or other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Priority Debt Obligations. All Liens on the Shared
13
Table of Contents
Collateral securing or purporting to secure any First Priority Debt Obligations shall be and remain senior in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any Liens on the Shared Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligations for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing or purporting to secure any First Priority Debt Obligations are subordinated in any respect to any other Lien securing any other obligation of any Grantor or any other Person or otherwise subordinated, voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed. For the avoidance of doubt, the subordination provided for in this Agreement is lien subordination only and the Second Priority Debt Obligations are not subordinated in right of payment to the First Priority Debt Obligations.
Section 2.02 Nature of First Priority Secured Party Claims. Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that (a) a portion of the First Priority Debt Obligations is revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (b) subject to Section 6.01, the terms of the First Priority Debt Documents and the First Priority Debt Obligations may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, and the First Priority Debt Obligations, or a portion thereof, may be Refinanced from time to time and (c) subject to Section 6.01, the aggregate amount of the First Priority Debt Obligations may be increased, in each case, without notice to or consent by the Second Priority Representatives or any other Second Priority Secured Party and without affecting the provisions hereof; provided, however, that, in connection with any such Refinancing, the Representative of the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness. The Lien priorities provided for in Section 2.01 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification, or any Refinancing, of either the First Priority Debt Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any portion thereof, in accordance with this Agreement. As between the Grantors and the Second Priority Secured Parties, the foregoing provisions will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Grantors contained in any Second Priority Debt Document with respect to the incurrence of additional First Priority Debt Obligations.
Section 2.03 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Secured Party under its Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or join or otherwise support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing Secured Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any other Representative or any of the other Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Collateral securing any other Secured Debt Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Controlling Representative or the other Controlling Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the First Priority Debt Documents.
Section 2.04 No Separate Liens; Similar Agreements.
(a) The parties hereto agree, except as otherwise set forth herein (including in Section 2.06) that no Grantor shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, grant or permit any
14
Table of Contents
additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Secured Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, to the extent legally practicable, a Lien on such asset or property to secure the other Secured Debt Obligations (except to the extent that the grant of a Lien to secure a Series of Secured Debt Obligations is declined in writing by the applicable Representative in accordance with the Debt Documents of such Series of Secured Debt Obligations), with each such Lien to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations that are not also subject to the first-priority Liens securing all First Priority Debt Obligations under the First Priority Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Secured Party (x) shall notify the Designated First Priority Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each First Priority Representative as security for the First Priority Debt Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated First Priority Representative as security for all First Priority Debt Obligations for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (y) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each First Priority Representative, shall be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each First Priority Representative and the other First Priority Secured Parties as security for the First Priority Debt Obligations. To the extent that the provisions of the preceding two sentences are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Representative or any other Secured Party, each Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, that any amounts received by or distributed to any such Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.02.
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that except as set forth herein in Section 2.06, it is their intention that the Collateral under each Debt Facility be identical (except to the extent that the grant of a Lien to secure a Series of Secured Debt Obligations with respect to an item of Collateral is declined in writing by the applicable Representative in accordance with the Debt Documents of such Series of Secured Debt Obligations). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree: (i) to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any reasonable request by the Controlling Representative or the Designated Second Priority Representative, the specific assets included as Collateral under each Debt Facility, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the applicable First Priority Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents, as the case may be; and (ii) that the documents, agreements and instruments creating or evidencing the Liens on the Collateral with respect to each Debt Facility shall be in all material respects in the same form, other than with respect to the first priority and second priority nature of the Liens created or evidenced thereunder, the identity of the Secured Parties that are parties thereto or secured thereby and other matters contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 2.05 Perfection of Liens. Except for the agreements of the Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, no Representative or Secured Party of any Series shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Representative or other Secured Parties of any other Series. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as among the Secured Parties and shall not impose on any Representative or other Secured Party of
15
Table of Contents
any Series or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with any prior perfected claims in such Proceeds in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
Section 2.06 Certain Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other First Priority Debt Documents or Second Priority Debt Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure First Priority Debt Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit (as defined in the Initial First Priority Credit Agreement) or otherwise held by the Initial First Priority Representative pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.08, 2.11, 2.22 or 2.23 of the Initial First Priority Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the applicable section of the Initial First Priority Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.
ENFORCEMENT
Section 3.01 Exercise of Secured Creditor Rights and Remedies.
(a) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to exercise an Enforcement Action and to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising an Enforcement Action, and may exercise an Enforcement Action without any consultation with, or the consent of, any other Representative or any other Secured Parties; provided, however, that (i) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, any other Representative may file a proof of claim with respect to the Secured Debt Obligations under its Debt Facility that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any other Representative may take any action in order to preserve or protect (but not enforce) the validity and enforceability of its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Shared Collateral; provided that no such action is adverse to either (x) the validity, priority, perfection or enforceability of the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Secured Debt Obligations of any Pari or Senior Series; or (y) the rights of the Controlling Representative or the Controlling Secured Parties to exercise an Enforcement Action prior to the Second Priority Enforcement Date, (iii) any other Representative or other Secured Party may file any affirmative, responsive or defensive pleading in connection with any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person regarding the allowance or treatment of the claims of the applicable Secured Parties or the avoidance of any Lien on the Shared Collateral of the applicable Secured Party, (iv) any other Representative or other Secured Party may exercise its rights and remedies, including filing any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements, as an unsecured creditor as provided in Section 5.04, (v) any other Representative may exercise the rights and remedies provided for in Article VII, (vi) subject to Section 3.02(a), from and after the Second Priority Enforcement Date, the Designated Second Priority Representative may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations, or institute
16
Table of Contents
any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (vii) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, the Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Secured Parties may propose, support, oppose and/or vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, including filing any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements with respect to any such plan, in each case in a manner that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including Section 7.03), and (viii) seeking any equitable relief (including injunctive relief) available to any Second Priority Secured Party (including as an undersecured or unsecured creditor) in accordance with, and not otherwise prohibited by or inconsistent with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents, this Agreement and applicable law (the actions described in clauses (i) through (viii) of this proviso being referred to herein as the “Non-Controlling Permitted Actions”).
(b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral, the Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the First Priority Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion, but subject to, and without waiver of, applicable law or the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Shared 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 or any comparable legislation of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Second Priority Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor to object to the manner in which the Controlling Representatives or the Controlling Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the First Priority Debt Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Shared Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Controlling Representative or any other Controlling Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties.
(c) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred, except for the Non-Controlling Permitted Actions, the sole right of the Representatives and the other Secured Parties (other than the Controlling Representative and the Controlling Secured Parties) with respect to the Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Shared Collateral in respect of the applicable Series of Secured Debt Obligations pursuant to the Debt Documents applicable to such Series for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof in accordance with this Agreement, the Debt Documents and applicable law.
(d) Each Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Debt Document of the applicable Series shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Controlling Representative or the other Controlling Secured Parties with respect to the First Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Priority Debt Documents of the applicable Series.

The Purchase Option may be exercised by less than all of the Second Priority Secured Parties so long as all of the Second Priority Secured Parties that so exercise the Purchase Option, when taken together, purchase such entire aggregate amount set forth above.
(ii) The term “Purchase Price” means an amount equal to the sum of (A) the full amount of all First Priority Debt Obligations then-outstanding and unpaid at par (including principal, accrued but unpaid interest and fees and expenses and any other unpaid amounts, including breakage costs, and, in the case of any secured Swap Obligations, the amount (not less than zero) that would be payable by the relevant Grantor thereunder if such Grantor were to terminate the hedge agreement in respect thereof on the date of the purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant First Priority Secured Party to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such agreement, excluding any prepayment penalties or premiums provided for in the First Priority Debt Documents), (B) the cash collateral to be furnished to the First Priority Secured Parties providing letters of credit under the First Priority Debt Documents in such amounts (not to exceed 103% thereof) as such First Priority Secured Parties determine is reasonably necessary to secure such First Priority Secured Parties in connection with any such outstanding and undrawn letters of credit and (C) all accrued and unpaid fees, expenses and other amounts (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) owed to the First Priority Secured Parties under or pursuant to the First Priority Debt Documents on the date of purchase.

Second Priority Representative from the Controlling Representative of the occurrence of the Purchase Right Trigger Event, the First Priority Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Priority Debt Documents and this Agreement.

(a) Except for Non-Controlling Permitted Actions, so long as the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred, each Second Priority Representative (other than, with respect to clauses (i) through (vi) below, the Controlling Representative), for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, agrees that, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, such Representative and such Secured Parties:

(ii) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure action or proceeding brought by the Controlling Representative or any other Controlling Secured Party, or any other enforcement or exercise by any Controlling Secured Party of any rights or remedies relating to the Shared Collateral under the First Priority Debt Documents or otherwise, so long as Liens with respect to each other Series of Secured Debt Obligations attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.01, and the notice given of, and the conduct of, such foreclosure action or proceeding is in accordance with applicable law;

Section 5.02 Insurance and Condemnation Awards. The Controlling Representative and each other Controlling Secured Party shall have the exclusive right, as among the Representatives and the Secured Parties, after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been cured or waived and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Priority Debt Documents, to reasonably settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance covering Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Collateral.

Table of Contents
(a) Each of the Borrower and each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document under its Second Priority Debt Facility (other than any account control or similar agreement with third parties) shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Designated First Priority Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) In the event that the First Priority Representatives and/or the other First Priority Secured Parties and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, modification, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Priority Collateral Documents (other than this Agreement) or in connection with a Refinancing enter into new or additional First Priority Collateral Documents, then such amendment, modification, waiver, consent or change shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Second Priority Collateral Document, in each case, without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party, the Borrower or any other Grantor, and in connection with any such Refinancing, the Second Priority Representative and any other Second Priority Secured Party shall enter into corresponding agreements; provided, that (i) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (x) remove assets subject to the Second Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01 and provided that there is a concurrent release of the corresponding First Priority Liens, (y) amend, modify or otherwise affect the duties of any Second Priority Representative in its capacity as such without its prior written consent or (z) permit Liens on the Collateral which are not permitted under the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and (ii) written notice of such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, modification, waiver or consent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Second Priority Collateral Documents as set forth in this Section 5.03(c) and shall not result in the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any Debt Document.

For the avoidance of doubt the exercise of the Non-Controlling Permitted Actions and the enforcement of this Agreement do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Representative or any other Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by such Representative or such Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) or enforcement of its rights against Shared Collateral in contravention of this Agreement (including any judgment lien resulting from the exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor, to the extent such judgment lien applies to Shared Collateral, subject to the following sentence). In the event any Representative or any other
25
Table of Contents
Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of applicable Secured Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall have the same priority and ranking vis-à-vis the other Secured Parties hereunder as set forth in this Agreement. As between the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies any First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party may have with respect to the First Priority Collateral.

Pending delivery to the Controlling Representative, each other Representative agrees to hold any Pledged or Controlled Collateral from time to time in its possession, as a sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.
(b) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and their Debt Documents as Shared Collateral. The rights of the other Representatives and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to any other Representatives or any other Secured Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05. The duties or responsibilities of the Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for the relevant other Representatives for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such other Representatives.

other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Representative or any other Secured Party, and each such other Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Secured Party under its Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Controlling Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to their roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents for perfection and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.
(e) Each Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Controlling Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries or (ii) direct and deliver or cause to be delivered such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
(f) None of the Controlling Representative and the other Controlling Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of Holdco, the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any other Representative or any other Secured Party or any assurance of payment in respect thereof, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each First Priority Representative for loss or damage suffered by such First Priority Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.

The Borrower and each other Grantor, each First Priority Representative (for itself and on behalf of each other First Priority Secured Party represented by such Representative) and each Second Priority Representative (for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party represented by such Representative) hereby agrees that the First Priority Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the First Priority Debt Facilities may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the consent of the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Initial Second Priority Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor definition)), no such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications or Refinancings) shall contravene the provisions of this Agreement; provided further, that the holders of the Indebtedness resulting from any such Refinancing, or a duly authorized agent on their behalf, agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
Section 6.02 Matters Relating to Second Priority Debt Documents. The Borrower and each other Grantor, each First Priority Representative (for itself and on behalf of each other First Priority Secured Party represented by such Representative) and each Second Priority Representative (for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party represented by such Representative) hereby agrees that, subject to the final sentence of this Section 6.02, the Second Priority Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Indebtedness under the Second Priority Debt Facilities may be Refinanced, in each case, without the consent of any First Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of the “Required Lenders” (as defined in the Initial First Priority Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor definition)), no such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications or Refinancings) shall contravene any provisions of this Agreement.

28
Table of Contents
Shared Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the Controlling Secured Parties or the Controlling Representative shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral (in which case, no other Representative or other Secured Party shall seek any relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with the relief being sought by the Controlling Secured Parties), (ii) will not oppose or object to any post-petition financing, whether provided by any Controlling Secured Party or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP Financing”), or the Liens securing any DIP Financing (“DIP Financing Liens”), unless the Controlling Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Controlling Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing and DIP Financing Liens (provided that the foregoing shall not prevent such other Secured Parties or their Affiliates from proposing any other DIP Financing to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction), and shall subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing Liens (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Second Priority Liens are so subordinated to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement, (y) any adequate protection Liens provided to the First Priority Secured Parties, and (z) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Controlling Representative, and (iii) except to the extent permitted by Section 7.02, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or a DIP Financing as described in clause (ii), will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, DIP Financing or DIP Financing Liens; provided that: (a) such DIP Financing shall not result in the voiding of the Lien of any Second Priority Representative on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations, which Lien shall remain subject to the priority requirements described herein vis-à-vis the Liens securing the First Priority Debt Obligations (it being understood that any reduction in the value of any Second Priority Lien by virtue of the mere existence of the DIP Financing and the DIP Financing Liens shall not be deemed to void the Lien of any Second Priority Representative for purposes of this clause (a)); (b) all DIP Financing Liens shall be senior to or on parity with the Liens of each First Priority Representative on the Shared Collateral securing the First Priority Debt Obligations and by operation of clause (ii) above, senior to the Liens of each Second Priority Representative on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations; and (c) in the event that any First Priority Representative receives a Lien on post-petition assets of any Grantor as adequate protection for the First Priority Debt Obligations, each Second Priority Representative has the right to seek a Lien on such post-petition assets of the Grantors as adequate protection for the Second Lien Debt Obligations, which adequate protection Lien shall be subordinated to Liens securing and providing adequate protection for the First Priority Debt Obligations to the same extent set forth in this Agreement. In addition, each Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Secured Party under its Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, such Secured Parties will not oppose or object to (1) any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shared Collateral free and clear of the Liens applicable to the relevant Series of Secured Debt Obligations or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the approval of bidding procedures in connection therewith or any other related or ancillary matters) (a “363 Sale”), if the Controlling Secured Parties or the Controlling Representative shall consent, or not oppose or object, to such sale or other disposition; provided that pursuant to a court order the Liens of the Second Priority Secured
29
Table of Contents
Parties attach to the net proceeds of such sale or disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by the Second Priority Secured Parties in such Shared Collateral; provided further that the Second Priority Secured Parties shall retain the right to credit bid their claims (and their rights under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall not be impaired), to the extent the credit bid is authorized or accepted by the applicable bankruptcy court, in connection with any such sale in a transaction that provides for the payment in full in cash on the closing date of such sale of the First Priority Debt Obligations, or (2) the right of any First Priority Secured Party to credit bid First Priority Debt Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Shared Collateral under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable provisions of this Section 7.01 shall only be binding on the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to any DIP Financing to the extent the principal amount of such DIP Financing (together with the principal amount of any remaining pre-petition First Priority Debt Obligations) does not exceed the DIP Cap.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.02 or in Section 7.01, if, in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (i) any Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then each other Representative may, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien will rank pari passu with, in the case of other First Priority Secured Parties, or be subordinated to, in the case of Second Priority Secured Parties, the First Priority Liens on the same basis as set forth in this Agreement, (ii) any Second Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral, then (A) each First Priority Representative shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral that is senior to such Second Priority Lien as adequate protection for the First Priority Debt Obligations (and, to the extent such First Priority Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional collateral so granted to such Second Priority Secured Party shall be subject to Section 4.02) and (B) each other Second Priority Representative may, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien will rank pari passu with such Second Priority Lien and subordinate to all First Priority Liens or (iii) any First Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a super-priority claim under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, then each other Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, shall be granted adequate protection in the form of super-priority claims granted under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law ranking pari

passu with, in the case of other First Priority Secured Parties, or subordinated to, in the case of Second Priority Secured Parties, such First Priority Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the First Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, or any other form of adequate protection, then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable), or such other form of adequate protection as granted to the First Priority Secured Parties, subject to the right of the First Priority Secured Parties to object to the amounts of fees and expenses or other cash payments or other adequate protection so sought by the Second Priority Secured Parties.
Section 7.03 Plan Voting. Without the written consent of the Designated Second Priority Representative, no First Priority Representative or First Priority Secured Party may seek to vote with the claims of any Second Priority Secured Party as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Without the written consent of the Designated First Priority Representative, no Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Secured Party may (1) seek to vote with the claims of any First Priority Secured Party as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (2) propose, vote to accept, or otherwise support any proposed plan that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 7.04 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Each Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Secured Party under its Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek, or support any other Person in seeking, relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral or any Proceeds thereof, without the prior written consent of the Controlling Representative.
Section 7.05 Preference Issues. If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be or avoided as fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as Proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the applicable Series of Secured Debt Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and such Series of Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations or a Discharge of Second Priority Debt Obligations, as the case may be, with respect to such Series with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or
31
Table of Contents
allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement. As between each Series of First Priority Debt Obligations, each First Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other First Priority Secured Party under its First Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled, vis-à-vis any other First Priority Secured Party to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
Section 7.06 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority Debt Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute only a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors with Liens in the Shared Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Controlling Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Shared Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.
Section 7.07 Post-Petition Interest.
(a) Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that no such Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any First Priority Representative, any Initial First Priority Representative, or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Priority Debt Obligations
32
Table of Contents
consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the applicable First Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed by each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that such value shall be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Shared Collateral).
(b) Each First Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that no such First Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Debt Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed by each First Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, that such value shall be determined after taking into account the First Priority Liens on the Shared Collateral).
Section 7.08 No Waivers of Rights of Controlling Secured Parties. Other than as otherwise expressly set forth herein, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any Controlling Representative or any Controlling Secured Party from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by any other Representative or any other Secured Party, including any request by any such other Representative or any such other Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise by any such other Representative or any such other Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under their applicable Debt Documents or otherwise.
Section 7.09 Certain Waivers by the Second Priority Secured Parties. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim any such Second Priority Secured Party may hereafter have against any First Priority Secured Party arising out of (a) the election by any First Priority Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, or (b) any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in the Shared Collateral, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, in each case in compliance with, and subject to, Sections 7.01 and 7.02.
Section 7.10 Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. The relative rights of the Secured Parties as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.
Section 7.11 Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law as adequate
33
Table of Contents
protection with respect to any of the Shared Collateral (and not in connection with any DIP Financing that may be provided by such Second Priority Representative or other Second Priority Secured Party), such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees to assert any such rights subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 7.12 506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of First Priority Debt Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Second Priority Secured Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First Priority Debt Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.
Section 7.13 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, Reorganization Securities that are debt obligations secured by Liens upon any property are distributed pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both First Priority Debt Obligations and Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, 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.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Priority Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 10.02 Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability.

Table of Contents
Secured Parties under its Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights that such Secured Parties may now or hereafter have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any provisions of this Agreement. 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. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver, liquidator, sequestrator, trustee, custodian, administrator or other officer in any applicable jurisdiction having similar powers over any Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.
Section 10.03 Amendments; Waivers.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.03, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.03 and Section 10.07, this Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility) and each Grantor. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns.
(c) The Grantors, the Designated First Priority Representative and the Designated Second Priority Representative may amend or supplement this Agreement or the applicable Debt Documents without the consent of any other Representative or Secured Party (i) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to a Secured Party, (ii) to make, complete or confirm any grant permitted or required by this Agreement or any of the Debt Documents or any release of any Collateral that is otherwise permitted (if addressed therein, or if not addressed, not prohibited) under the terms of this Agreement and the other Debt Documents, (iii) to correct any typographical errors, drafting mistakes or other similar mistakes that do not modify the intended rights and obligations of the parties hereto and to correct administrative or manifest errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Secured Party and (iv) to incorporate any Additional First Priority Debt Obligations, Additional Second Priority Debt Obligations or any Refinancing, in each case to the extent permitted (if addressed therein, or if not addressed, not prohibited) by the terms of the

The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Second Priority Representative and the Designated First Priority Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
