Junior Lien Agent agrees that it and the Junior Lien Lenders shall not, and hereby waives any right to, take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of Senior Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders) in any Collateral, the validity, priority, enforceability or allowance of any of the claims of Senior Lien Agent or any holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness against any Obligor or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. Junior Lien Agent agrees that neither it nor the Junior Lien Lenders will take any action that would interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by Senior Lien Agent under the Senior Lien Loan Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, in any case so long as Senior Lien Agent does not act in contravention of this Agreement or applicable law. Junior Lien Agent hereby waives any and all rights it and the Junior Lien Lenders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner in which Senior Lien Agent seeks to enforce the Liens in any Collateral so long as Senior Lien Agent does not act in contravention of this Agreement or applicable law.

     f. Waiver of Right to Contest Junior Lien Indebtedness. Senior Lien Agent agrees that it and the Senior Lien Lenders shall not, and hereby waives any right to, take any action to contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority (except to the extent expressly provided by this Agreement), enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of Junior Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders) in any Collateral, the validity, priority (except to the extent

10

expressly provided by this Agreement), enforceability or allowance of any of the claims of Junior Lien Agent or any holder of Junior Lien Indebtedness against any Obligor or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the provisions hereof. Solely to the extent that Junior Lien Agent is permitted to Exercise Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement, Senior Lien Agent agrees that neither it nor the Senior Lien Lenders will take any action that would interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by Junior Lien Agent under the Junior Lien Loan Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, in any case so long as Junior Lien Agent does not act in contravention of this Agreement or applicable law.

     g. Acknowledgement of Liens. The Junior Lien Agent acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Lien Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders, has been and may be granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Junior Lien Agent has been granted Liens and the Junior Lien Agent hereby consents thereto. Senior Lien Agent acknowledges and agrees that Junior Lien Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders, has been or, subject to the terms of this Agreement, may be granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Senior Lien Agent has been granted Liens and each of the Senior Lien Agent hereby consents thereto. The Junior Lien Agent agrees that neither it nor any Junior Lien Lender shall obtain a Lien on any asset or Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Junior Lien Indebtedness unless concurrently therewith, the Senior Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders) obtains a Lien on such asset or Collateral and the parties hereby agree that all such Liens are and will be subject to this Agreement. The subordination of Liens by the Junior Lien Agent in favor of the Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders shall not be deemed to subordinate the Junior Lien Agent’s Liens to the Liens of any other Person that is not a holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness.

     h. Agent for Perfection. Senior Lien Agent, on the one hand, and Junior Lien Agent, on the other hand, each agree to hold all Control Collateral and Cash Collateral, as applicable, in their respective possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either) as a non-fiduciary agent for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Control Collateral or Cash Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.h. None of Senior Lien Agent or the Senior Lien Lenders, on the one hand, or Junior Lien Agent or the Junior Lien Lenders, on the other hand, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any Obligor or any other Person or to preserve their respective rights or benefits or those of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of Senior Lien Agent and Junior Lien Agent under this Section 2.h are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral and the Cash Collateral as a non-fiduciary agent for the other for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by Junior Lien Agent, on the one hand, or Senior Lien Agent, on the other hand, as applicable. Senior Lien Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for Junior Lien Agent or any other Person. Junior Lien Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for Senior Lien Agent or any other Person.

               After the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall have occurred, Senior Lien Agent, upon the reasonable request of Junior Lien Agent, (a) shall promptly deliver any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, in their possession to Junior Lien Agent, and (b) will reasonably cooperate (subject to Senior Lien Agent obtaining satisfactory indemnity agreements from the Obligors and/or such other Persons as Senior Lien Agent may reasonably require) with the Obligors and Junior Lien Agent in order to transfer or assign (to the extent permitted by the applicable agreement) control of the remainder of the Cash Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, under Senior Lien Agent’s control to Junior Lien Agent (or as it may direct in writing), in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Obligors and except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or court order.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is reinstated pursuant to Section 5.c hereof and any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral has

11

heretofore been delivered to the Junior Lien Agent or at its direction pursuant to this Section 2.h or is otherwise in the possession or control of Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender, then, upon such reinstatement, (i) Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Lender shall promptly deliver any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, in their possession to Senior Lien Agent, and Senior Lien Agent shall hold any such Cash Collateral or Control Collateral in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.h, and (ii) the Obligors and Junior Lien Agent will reasonably cooperate with Senior Lien Agent in order to transfer or assign (to the extent permitted by the applicable agreement) control of any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral, if any, under Junior Lien Agent’s or any Junior Lien Lender’s control to Senior Lien Agent (to be held in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.h), in each case, at the sole cost and expense of the Obligors and except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or court order.

          3. Permitted Applications of Proceeds of Collateral. So long as an Application of Proceeds Blockage Period is not then in effect, the Borrowers may pay or apply, and Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders may accept and receive on account of the Junior Lien Indebtedness, any Proceeds of Collateral whatsoever on account of the Junior Lien Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of the Junior Lien Loan Documents (any such application being referred to as a “Permitted Application of Proceeds of Collateral”).

          4. Application of Proceeds after Exercise of Remedies.

     a. In the event that (i) a Senior Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) Senior Lien Agent shall have commenced and shall be diligently pursuing any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies against all or a material portion of the Collateral and shall be applying all Proceeds of Collateral (to the extent received) in accordance with Section 9 (the occurrence and continuance of items (i) and (ii), collectively, an “Application of Proceeds Blockage Event”), then from and after the commencement of such Application of Proceeds Blockage Event, no Proceeds of Collateral shall be paid or applied by any Obligor, and neither Junior Lien Agent nor any Junior Lien Lender shall accept, take or receive, any Proceeds of Collateral, on account of the Junior Lien Indebtedness until the earlier to occur of (a) the date of the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness and (b) the date of termination (including, without limitation, as a result of the failure of any of items (i) or (ii) above to be continuing) or written waiver by Senior Lien Agent of such Application of Proceeds Blockage Event (such period of time being an “Application of Proceeds Blockage Period”).

     b. In the event that, notwithstanding the terms of the foregoing Section 4a, the Obligors shall pay or apply or Junior Lien Agent or the Junior Lien Lenders shall receive any Proceeds of Collateral on account of the Junior Lien Indebtedness during an Application of Proceeds Blockage Period, then and in such event the turn-over and other obligations of Junior Lien Agent set forth in Section 8 shall apply.

     c. In the case of any Permitted Application of Proceeds of Collateral on or in respect of any Junior Lien Indebtedness that would (in the absence of any Application of Proceeds Blockage Period) have been made during any Application of Proceeds Blockage Period, the provisions of this Section 4 shall not prevent the application of (and the Obligor may pay or apply and Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders may accept, take and receive) such Permitted Application of Proceeds of Collateral on or after the date immediately following the termination of such Application of Proceeds Blockage Period.

          5. Insolvency Proceeding.

12

     a. Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any Insolvency Proceeding against any Obligor and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Agents and the Lenders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, the Borrowers or any other Obligor as debtor-in-possession. Junior Lien Agent acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of a distribution of any notes or other debt securities under a plan of reorganization under any such Insolvency Proceeding (such notes or other debt securities, “Reorganization Debt Securities”) to each of (i) Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders and (ii) Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders, such Reorganization Debt Securities received by Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders shall be subordinated to the Reorganization Debt Securities received by Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders on terms acceptable to Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders.

     b. Proof of Claim. Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, in the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Obligor or any property of any Obligor, Junior Lien Agent shall retain the right to vote on behalf of Junior Lien Lenders with respect to the Junior Lien Indebtedness. If Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender does not file a proper claim or proof of debt or other document or amendment thereof in the form required in any Insolvency Proceeding prior to 5 days before the expiration of time to file such claim or other document or amendment thereof, then Senior Lien Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) in any such Insolvency Proceeding, and Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby irrevocably appoints Senior Lien Agent as Junior Lien Agent’s and Junior Lien Lenders’ lawful attorney in fact, to file and prove all claims therefor in such circumstances.

     c. Reinstatement. If Senior Lien Agent, any Senior Lien Lender or any other holder of any Senior Lien Indebtedness is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay any amount (a “Recovery”) to the estate or to any creditor or representative of an Obligor or any other Person, then the Senior Lien Indebtedness shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. 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 from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of Senior Lien Agent, the Senior Lien Lenders and Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor or any other Person and irrespective of any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Obligor or any other Person in respect of the Senior Lien Indebtedness. No priority or right of Senior Lien Agent, the Senior Lien Lenders or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or any other Person or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Senior Lien Loan Documents or the Junior Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which Senior Lien Agent, the Senior Lien Lenders or any holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness may have.

     d. DIP Financing. If any Borrower or any other Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and Senior Lien Agent shall desire, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness, to permit the use of cash collateral or to provide any such Obligor financing (or to permit any such Obligor to obtain financing) (collectively, “DIP Financing”) under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral, then Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien

13

Lenders, agrees that, so long as (i) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to such DIP Financing, together with the aggregate principal amount of all other outstanding Senior Lien Indebtedness, does not exceed the sum of the Senior Lien Indebtedness plus $50,000,000, (ii) Junior Lien Agent retains a Lien on the Collateral (including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under applicable law (an “Adequate Protection Lien”), and (iii) such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing is subject to the terms of this Agreement, it will raise no objection to such DIP Financing. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders, hereby agrees that its Liens in the Collateral shall be subordinated to such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) to the same extent and upon the same terms and conditions specified in this Agreement.

     e. Alternative DIP Financings. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any Lender to object to post-petition financing or the use of cash collateral that is provided on terms in contravention of Section 5.d.

     f. Priming DIP Financing. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide or support any DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Senior Lien Indebtedness. Senior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide or support any DIP Financing on terms in contravention of Section 5.d.

     g. Other Waivers by Junior Lien Agent. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders, agrees that it shall not (without the Senior Lien Agent’s prior written consent), in any capacity, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding of any Obligor: (i) seek relief from the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Collateral on which Senior Lien Agent then has or purports to have a Lien; (ii) seek or request any adequate protection, other than Adequate Protection Liens, Permitted Replacement Liens and Permitted Interest Payments, as expressly provided herein; (iii) object to any sale of all or any portion of the Collateral in accordance with Sections 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code other than (A) any objection that an unsecured creditor could assert or (B) if Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender objects to any such sale to the same extent as such objection; (iv) seek, or support any request, to dismiss any Insolvency Proceeding or to convert any chapter 11 case of any such party from chapter 11 to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) Reserved; (vi) Reserved; (vii) seek, or support any request for, the entry of any order modifying, reversing, revoking, staying, rescinding, vacating or amending any DIP Financing order pursuant to which the Senior Lien Agent and/or the Senior Lien Lenders have provided such financing; (viii) propose, vote in favor of or otherwise approve or support any plan of reorganization, arrangement or liquidation, or file any motion or pleading in support of any plan of reorganization, arrangement or liquidation, unless it provides for the Discharge of Senior Lien Debt; (ix) object to the treatment under a plan of reorganization or arrangement of the Senior Lien Lenders’ claims with respect to the Senior Lien Debt; (x) take any action or vote in any way so as to directly or indirectly challenge or contest (A) the validity or the enforceability of the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, the other Senior Lien Loan Documents or the liens and security interests granted to Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders with respect to the Senior Lien Indebtedness, (B) the rights and duties of Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders established in the Senior Secured Credit Agreement or any other Senior Lien Loan Document, or (C) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement; or (xi) take any other action which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity of, or the value of, the Senior Lien Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or the claims of the Senior Lien Lenders.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, Junior Lien Lenders, in their capacity as unsecured creditors in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding of any Borrower or Guarantor, shall be permitted to exercise all other rights as unsecured creditors, including, without limitation, the right to take the following actions

14

(but with respect to the exercise of any such rights, only to the extent that doing so would not be inconsistent with clauses (i) through (xi) of the foregoing sentence):  (I) object to or support the retention of one or more professionals for the Borrowers, Guarantors or any committee appointed in an Insolvency Proceeding (the “Insolvency Professionals”); (II) object to or support the fees and expenses of Insolvency Professionals; (III) object to or support the approval of settlements and compromises of claims of parties (other than Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders); (IV) object to motions for relief from the automatic stay (other than any such motion filed by Senior Lien Agent and/or the Senior Lien Lenders); (V) object to or support motions to assume or reject or compel assumption or rejection of executory contracts and leases of non-residential real property; (VI) seek to terminate any exclusive periods for filing or soliciting acceptances to a plan or plans of reorganization; and (VII) take actions similar to the actions described in the clauses (I) through (VI) of this sentence.

     h. Other Waivers by Senior Lien Agent. Until the Discharge of Junior Lien Indebtedness has occurred, Senior Lien, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders, agrees that it shall not without Junior Lien Agent’s written consent to the contrary, take any action or vote in any way so as to directly or indirectly challenge or contest (A) the validity or the enforceability of the Junior Lien Credit Agreement, the other Junior Lien Loan Documents or the liens and security interests granted to Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders with respect to the Junior Lien Indebtedness, (B) the rights and duties of Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders established in the Junior Lien Credit Agreement or any other Junior Lien Loan Document to the extent that such rights and duties are not and/or have not been exercised in contravention of this Agreement, or (C) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

     i. Rights of Junior Lien Agent and Junior Lien Lenders to Adequate Protection. Senior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders, agrees that it will raise no objection to a request for adequate protection by Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders in the form of (i) payment of interest on the Junior Lien Indebtedness during the pendency of an Insolvency Proceeding so long as (A) the rate of interest so requested by Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders does not exceed the default rate of interest applicable to the Junior Lien Indebtedness immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding and (B) the Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders receive adequate protection in the form of payment of interest on the Senior Lien Indebtedness during the pendency of such Insolvency Proceeding at a rate at least equal to the greater of (x) the non-default contractual rate of interest applicable to the Senior Lien Indebtedness immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding and (y) the rate of interest so requested by the Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders (“Permitted Interest Payments”), (ii) Adequate Protection Liens and (iii) a replacement lien on post-petition assets to the same extent granted to Senior Lien Agent, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under applicable law (a “Permitted Replacement Lien”).

          6. Modifications of Indebtedness.

     a. Senior Lien Indebtedness. All Senior Lien Indebtedness at any time incurred by any Obligor shall be deemed to have been incurred, and all Senior Lien Indebtedness held by any Senior Lien Lender or other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been extended, acquired or obtained, as applicable, in reliance upon this Agreement, and, to the extent not otherwise required herein, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by Senior Lien Agent, the Senior Lien Lenders or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness of this Agreement, and (ii) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any part of the Senior Lien Indebtedness. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude Senior Lien Agent, Senior Lien Lenders or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness from discontinuing the extension of credit to any Obligor (whether under the Senior Secured Credit

15

Agreement or otherwise). Anything in the Junior Lien Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby agrees that Senior Lien shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender (except to the extent such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any liability to Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender amend, restate, waive, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify (collectively, any “Senior Lien Modification”) the Senior Lien Loan Documents, in any manner whatsoever, including any renewals, extensions or shortening of time of payments (even if such shortening causes any Senior Lien Indebtedness to be due on demand or except to the extent any such Senior Lien Modification increases the principal amount of the Senior Lien Loans to an amount in excess of the Senior Lien Amount), and Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, consents and agrees to any such Senior Lien Modification. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, waives notice of any such Senior Lien Modification, and agrees that no such Senior Lien Modification shall affect, release, or impair the subordinations or any other obligations of Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender contained herein.

     b. Junior Lien Indebtedness. Anything in the Senior Lien Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Junior Lien Agent shall not amend, restate, waive, supplement, replace, refinance, extend, consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Junior Lien Loan Documents in any manner whatsoever without the prior written consent of the Senior Lien Agent (acting upon the direction of the requisite Senior Lien Lenders).

     c. Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

               (1) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Senior Secured Credit Agreement, or the creation or existence of any Senior Lien Indebtedness; (iii) notice of the amount of the Senior Lien Indebtedness; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Obligor or of any other fact that might increase such Junior Lien Agent’s or such Junior Lien Lender’s risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Senior Lien Loan Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Senior Lien Loan Documents or otherwise relating to the Senior Lien Indebtedness; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to Junior Lien Agent under this Agreement) and demands to which Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender might otherwise be entitled. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, waives the right by statute or otherwise to require Senior Lien Agent or any holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness to institute suit against any Obligor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which Senior Lien Agent, any Senior Lien Lender or any holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness has or may have against any Obligor. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Obligor or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of such Obligor in respect thereof.

               (2) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby waives: (i) any rights to assert against Senior Lien Agent, the Senior Lien Lenders or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender may now or at any time hereafter have against any Obligor; (ii) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of any Senior Lien Indebtedness, any

16

Junior Lien Indebtedness or any security for either; and (iii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Junior Lien Agent’s or any Junior Lien Lender’s obligations hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Senior Lien Indebtedness shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Junior Lien Agent’s or any such Junior Lien Lender’s obligations hereunder.

               (3) Until such time as the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall have occurred, Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, hereby postpones any right of subrogation Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender has or may have as against any Obligor with respect to any Senior Lien Indebtedness.

               (4) None of Senior Lien Agent, any Senior Lien Lender or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or any Proceeds or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof. If Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender honors (or fails to honor) a request by the Borrowers for an extension of credit pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Agreement or any of the other Senior Lien Loan Documents, whether Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of the Junior Lien Loan Documents or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Lien Loan Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), neither Senior Lien Agent nor any Senior Lien Lender shall have any liability whatsoever to Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender as a result of such action, omission, or exercise. Senior Lien Agent and each Senior Lien Lender will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Lien Loan Documents as Senior Lien Agent and Senior Lien Lenders may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and Senior Lien Agent, each Senior Lien Lender and each other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender may have in the Collateral or otherwise except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, agrees that none of Senior Lien Agent, any Senior Lien Lender or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, application or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral or any part or Proceeds thereof conducted in accordance with applicable law and the terms hereof. Subject to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, Senior Lien Agent, each Senior Lien Lender and each other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with Obligors as it may determine in its sole discretion without impairing any of the subordinations, priorities, rights or obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including substituting Collateral, releasing any Lien and releasing any Obligor. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Lender, waives any and all rights it may have to require Senior Lien Agent, any Senior Lien Lender or any holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness to marshal assets, to exercise rights or remedies in a particular manner, or to forbear from exercising such rights and remedies in any particular manner or order.

          7. Indebtedness Owed Only to Lenders. The entire Junior Lien Indebtedness is owing only to the Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders. None of Junior Lien Agent nor the Junior Lien Lenders may sell or assign or otherwise transfer any part of its interest in the Junior Lien Indebtedness or the Collateral, other than (a) assignments to entities that are Junior Lien Lenders prior to such assignment

17

and (b) participations in accordance with the Junior Lien Credit Agreement, unless, in each case, the transferee executes and delivers to Senior Lien Agent a written acknowledgment in which the transferee acknowledges in writing its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof. Any assignment in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void (it being understood and agreed that if Junior Lien Agent resigns and no successor Agent is appointed in accordance with Section 12.9 of the Junior Lien Credit Agreement, such resignation shall be effective so long as such resignation is effective under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement and the resigning Junior Lien Agent shall have no further obligation hereunder (other than its obligations pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.h hereof, after this Agreement has been reinstated pursuant to Section 5.c hereof, to deliver possession, or transfer or assign control, as the case may be, of any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral then held or controlled by the resigning Junior Lien Agent in respect of the resigning Junior Lien Agent’s obligation to continue to hold any collateral security held by the resigning Junior Lien Agent on behalf of the Junior Lien Lenders under any Junior Lien Loan Document until such time as a successor Agent under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement is appointed), provided that, if at any subsequent time, any person is appointed as successor Agent under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement or any other Junior Lien Loan Document, such appointment shall not be effective unless and until such successor Agent acknowledges in writing its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof; provided that such acknowledgment shall not be required to the extent the Required Lenders (as defined in the Junior Lien Credit Agreement) serve as successor Junior Lien Agent under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time such Required Lenders under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement serve as successor Junior Lien Agent, then, during such period, the term “Junior Lien Agent” used throughout this Agreement shall mean, and shall include, for all purposes, such Required Lenders under the Junior Lien Credit Agreement). Junior Lien Agent under any Junior Lien Credit Agreement that replaces or refinances the Junior Lien Credit Agreement shall not be entitled to any of the benefits of this Agreement unless and until such Junior Lien Agent acknowledges its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof, but shall be subject to the burdens and obligations, including, without limitation, the lien subordination, provided for herein.

          8. Payments Received by Junior Lien Agent or the Junior Lien Lenders. If at any time prior to the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall have occurred, Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender receives any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether as a result of an Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise, whether in cash, property or securities, from or of any assets of any Obligor (or any Obligor’s Subsidiaries), irrespective of whether such payment or distribution was of Collateral or of Proceeds thereof, in each case, in contravention of the express terms of this Agreement, Junior Lien Agent or such Junior Lien Lender shall be deemed to receive and hold the same in trust as trustee for the benefit of Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders and shall forthwith deliver such payment, distribution, or proceeds to Senior Lien Agent in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment by Junior Lien Agent or such Junior Lien Lender where necessary), for application on any of the Senior Lien Indebtedness, whether then due or yet to become due.

As used herein, “Exigent Circumstance” shall mean an event or circumstance that materially and imminently threatens the ability of Senior Lien Agent to realize upon all or a material part of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction (other than to the extent covered by insurance) or material waste thereof, or the failure of any Obligor after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage with respect thereto.

Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Senior Lien Agent as Senior Lien Agent may designate in writing to Junior Lien Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders to the bank account designated by Senior Lien Agent are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders to the bank account designated by Senior Lien Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time.

     e. Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders as to the Senior Lien Indebtedness so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender, except that each Senior Lien Lender shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the Senior Lien Indebtedness being purchased from it, (ii) that such Senior Lien Lender owns its portion of the Senior Lien Indebtedness so purchased free and clear of any Liens or encumbrances and (iii) such Senior Lien Lender has the right to assign such Senior Lien Indebtedness and the assignment is duly authorized by such Senior Lien Lender.

          11. Representations. Senior Lien Agent represents and warrants to Junior Lien Agent that it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Senior Lien Lenders.

20

security agreement is subject to the terms of this Agreement.

          15. Information Concerning Financial Condition. Each of Junior Lien Agent and each Junior Lien Lender hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Obligors and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Junior Lien Indebtedness, and agrees that Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders have and shall have no duty to advise Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender of information known to Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender, in their sole discretion, undertake, at any time or from time to time, to provide any such information to Junior Lien Agent or the Junior Lien Lenders, none of Senior Lien Agent or the Senior Lien Lenders shall be under any obligation (i) to provide any such information to Junior Lien Agent or Junior Lien Lenders on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation, or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its commercial finance practices, Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender wishes to maintain confidential. Junior Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Lenders, acknowledges and agrees that none of Senior Lien Agent or any Senior Lien Lender has made any warranties or representations with respect to the legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or perfection of the Senior Lien Indebtedness or any liens or security interests held in connection therewith.

          16. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of Senior Lien Agent, Senior Lien Lenders, Junior Lien Agent, and the Junior Lien Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, and neither any Obligor nor any other Persons are intended to be a third party beneficiary hereunder or to have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, or to have any right to enforce, this Agreement.

          17. No Impairment. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between Obligors and Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders, the obligation of Obligors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Junior Lien Indebtedness as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms, or affect the relative rights of Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders and creditors of Obligors other than Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders.

          18. Subrogation. Solely after the Discharge of Senior Lien Indebtedness shall have occurred, Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender have been applied to the payment of the Senior Lien Indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Senior Lien Agent and the Senior Lien Lenders shall have no

21

obligation or duty to protect Junior Lien Agent and the Junior Lien Lenders’ rights of subrogation arising pursuant to this Agreement or under any applicable law, nor shall Senior Lien Agent, Senior Lien Lenders or any other holder of Senior Lien Indebtedness be liable for any loss to, or impairment of, any subrogation rights held by Junior Lien Agent or any Junior Lien Lender.
