(d) All proceeds of Collateral or any of the Collateral Documents received by the Collateral Trustee, any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any other Junior Lien Secured Party in violation of Section 2.04(b) or 2.04(c), and all proceeds of Collateral received by any Junior Lien Debt Representative or other Junior Lien Secured Party in connection with any exercise of remedies against the Collateral, in each case, will be held by the Collateral Trustee, the applicable Junior Lien Debt Representative or any other applicable Junior Lien Secured Party in trust for the account of the First Lien Secured Parties and remitted to the Collateral Trustee upon demand by the Collateral Trustee or any First Lien Debt Representative for application in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof. The Junior Liens will remain attached to and enforceable against all proceeds so held or remitted (subject to the relative priorities set forth herein) until applied to satisfy the First Lien Obligations. All proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of any holder of Junior Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Secured Parties not in violation of the terms of the Credit Agreement or Sections 2.04(b), 2.04(c) or 2.04(d) of this Agreement will be received by the Collateral Trustee and the Junior Lien Secured Parties free from the First Liens.

Without the consent of the Collateral Trustee or any of the holders of Junior Lien Obligations (or any of their Junior Lien Debt Representatives), holders of First Lien Obligations and the First Lien Debt Representatives may enter into intercreditor arrangements to govern the relative priority among the various Series of First Lien Debt whose provisions are not inconsistent with those of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement.

Without the consent of the Collateral Trustee or any of the holders of First Lien Obligations (or any of their First Lien Debt Representatives), holders of Junior Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Debt Representatives may enter into intercreditor arrangements to govern the relative priority among the various Series of Junior Lien Debt whose provisions are not inconsistent with those of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement.

Section 2.05 Waiver of Right of Marshaling.

(a) Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien Secured Parties and the Collateral Trustee may not assert or enforce any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right accorded to a lienholder as against the First Lien Secured Parties.

(b) Following the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Junior Lien Secured Parties may assert their right under the UCC or otherwise to any proceeds remaining following a sale or other disposition of Collateral by, or on behalf of, the First Lien Secured Parties.

Section 2.06 Discretion in Enforcement of First Liens.

(a) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, at any time prior to a Discharge of First Lien Obligations the First Lien Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce (or refrain from enforcing) the provisions of the First Lien Documents (including any Shared Collateral Document) and exercise (or refrain from exercising) remedies thereunder or any such rights and remedies, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole and exclusive discretion, including:

(i) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral and/or the First Lien Obligations;

(ii) the enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of any First Lien in respect of the Collateral;

(iii) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of rights and powers of a holder of Capital Stock included in the Collateral Documents; and

(iv) the exercise or forbearance from exercise of all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC or any similar law of any applicable jurisdiction or in equity.

Section 2.07 Amendments to First Lien Documents and Discretion in Enforcement of First Lien Obligations; Amendments to Junior Lien Documents.

(a) Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 2.06, the First Lien Secured Parties and the First Lien Debt Representatives may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Junior Lien Secured Parties or the Junior Lien Debt Representatives, without incurring responsibility to the Junior Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Debt Representatives and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Agreement or the obligations hereunder of the Junior Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Debt Representatives, do any one or more of the following:

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend or shorten the time of payment of, or renew, refinance or alter, the First Lien Obligations, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner the First Lien Obligations, or any instrument evidencing the First Lien Obligations or any agreement under which the First Lien Obligations are outstanding including, without limitation, increasing the principal or other amount thereof and/or the applicable margin or similar component of interest rate;

(ii) release any Person or entity liable in any manner for the collection of the First Lien Obligations;

(iii) release the First Lien on any Collateral; and

(iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower and/or any Grantor.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Debt Representatives or unless permitted under the First Lien Documents, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, no Junior Lien Document may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified and no Junior Lien Debt may be refinanced, to the extent such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or refinancing, or the terms of such new Junior Lien Documents, would:

(i) contravene the provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) except with respect to the Notes, accelerate any date upon which a scheduled payment of principal or interest is due, cause the maturity date of such Junior Lien Debt to be prior to the date that is 91 days after the maturity date set forth in the Credit Agreement, or otherwise decrease the weighted average life to maturity of such Junior Lien Debt;

(iii) except with respect to the Notes, modify (or undertake any action having the effect of a modification of) the mandatory prepayment provisions of the Junior Lien Document in a manner adverse to the First Lien Secured Parties; or

(iv) reduce the capacity to incur the First Lien Debt to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Debt under the First Lien Documents on the day of any such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or refinancing.

Section 2.08 Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

(a) If in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Secured Parties by an Act of Required Secured Parties shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), or to permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Secured Parties or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then each of the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that it will not raise any objection or otherwise contest (or support any Person objecting to or otherwise contesting) to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the First Lien Secured Parties), and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Junior Liens on the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Lien Secured Parties or to the extent permitted by Section 2.08(d)); provided that the Junior Lien Secured Parties retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are inconsistent with the express terms hereof (including Section 2.08(d)). Each of the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative (on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it) agrees that it will not seek consultation rights in connection with, and will not raise any objection or oppose or otherwise contest (or support any Person objecting to, opposing or otherwise contesting), a motion to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law if the requisite First Lien Secured Parties have consented to such sale, liquidation or other disposition. Each of the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative (on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it) further agrees that it will not directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such sale, liquidation or other disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition if (x) the requisite First Lien Secured Parties have consented to such (i) retention of professionals and bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets and (ii) the sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets, in which event the Junior Lien Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented to the sale or disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law and (y) such motion does not impair the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law. No Junior Lien Secured Party may provide DIP Financing to the Debtors secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any First Lien Obligations.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that none of them shall (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral through an Act of Required Secured Parties, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 2.08(d) has been denied by a bankruptcy court or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the First Lien Secured Parties for relief from such stay.

(c) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Junior Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(d) The Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (1) any request by the First Lien Debt Representatives or the First Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law or (2) any objection by the First Lien Debt Representatives or the First Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (1) if the First Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or Junior Lien Debt Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (2) each of the Collateral Trustee, the Junior Lien Debt Representatives and the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral, provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral, provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim, provided that as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Debt Representative on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it; and (D) cash payments with respect to interest on the Junior Lien Obligations, provided that (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the First Lien Obligations, and (2) such cash payments with respect to interest (at the non-default rate) on the Junior Lien Obligations do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of Junior Lien Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the applicable Junior Lien Documents and accruing from the date the Collateral Trustee (on

behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or the applicable Junior Lien Debt Representative on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it is granted such relief. If any Junior Lien Secured Party receives post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Secured Parties do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then each Junior Lien Secured Party shall pay over to the First Lien Secured Party an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Junior Lien Secured Party and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations; provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Secured Parties in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Secured Parties shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the applicable Junior Lien Secured Parties in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to, the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Junior Lien Secured Parties made pursuant to this Section 2.08(d).

(e) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any First Lien Debt Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, including the seeking by the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of adequate protection or the assertion by the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Lien Documents or otherwise.

(f) If any First Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. 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.

(g) The Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), each Junior Lien Debt Representative (on behalf of itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it), the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties) and each First Lien Debt Representative (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Secured Parties represented by it) each acknowledges and agrees that:

(i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Junior Lien Collateral Documents (other than Liens pursuant to Shared Collateral Documents) constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens;

(ii) other than Liens granted pursuant to the Shared Collateral Documents, because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Junior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; and

(iii) the Liens granted pursuant to the Shared Collateral Documents, including the Liens on the Collateral shall rank and secure:

(A) first, the First Lien Obligations, pari passu and without prejudice between them, and

(B) second, the Junior Lien Obligations, pari passu and without prejudice between them.

To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral (including under Shared Collateral Documents) constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Borrower and/or the other Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the First Lien 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 (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, with the Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or each Junior Lien Debt Representative, as applicable, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties for whom it acts as representative, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Secured Parties, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them 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 Junior Lien Secured Parties.

(i)

The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that this Agreement is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to the Borrower or any other Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(ii)

Each Junior Lien Debt Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Secured Party arising out of the election of any First Lien Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding so long as such actions are not in express contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Collateral Shared Equally and Ratably within Class. The parties to this Agreement agree that the payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations within each Class will be secured equally and ratably by the Liens established in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties belonging to such Class, notwithstanding the time of incurrence of any Secured Obligations within such Class or the date, time, method or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing such Secured Obligations within such Class and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC or any other applicable law, the time of incurrence of any Series of First Lien Debt or Series of Junior Lien Debt or the time of incurrence of any other First Lien Obligation or Junior Lien Obligation, or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect or lapse in perfection of, or avoidance as a fraudulent preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations, the subordination of such Liens to any other Liens, or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced against the Borrower or any other Grantor, and it is the intent of the parties that, and each party hereto agrees for itself and the Junior Lien Secured Parties and First Lien Secured Parties (as applicable) represented by it that:

(a) all Junior Lien Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Junior Liens at any time granted by the Borrower or any other Grantor to secure any Obligations in respect of any Series of Junior Lien Debt, and that all such Junior Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of all Junior Lien Secured Parties equally and ratably; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not be violated with respect to any particular Collateral and any particular Series of Junior Lien Debt if the Secured Debt Documents in respect thereof prohibit the applicable Junior Lien Debt Representative from accepting the benefit of a Lien on any particular asset or property or such Junior Lien Debt Representative otherwise expressly declines in writing to accept the benefit of a Lien on such asset or property (any such Lien, a “Junior Declined Lien”); and

(b) all First Lien Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all First Liens at any time granted by the Borrower or any other Grantor to secure any Obligations in respect of any Series of First Lien Debt, and that all such First Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of all First Lien Secured Parties equally and ratably; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not be violated with respect to any particular Collateral and any particular Series of First Lien Debt if the Secured Debt Documents in respect thereof prohibit the applicable First Lien Debt Representative from accepting the benefit of a Lien on any particular asset or property or such First Lien Debt Representative otherwise expressly declines in writing to accept the benefit of a Lien on such asset or property (any such Lien, a “First Lien Declined Lien”; any such First Lien Declined Lien or Junior Declined Lien, as the context may require, a “Declined Lien”).

It is understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 2.09 is intended to alter the priorities among Secured Parties belonging to different Classes as provided in Section 2.03.

Section 2.10 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Collateral for the First Lien Obligations and the Collateral for the Junior Lien Obligations be identical (other than with respect to any Junior Declined Lien). In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, that the Collateral Documents creating or evidencing the First Liens and the Junior Liens will be either Shared Collateral Documents or in all material respects the same forms of documents other than as is necessary or appropriate to reflect the first lien and second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a First Lien Declined Lien shall also constitute a Junior Declined Lien.

Section 2.11 No New Liens. (a) Subject to the terms hereof, and except with respect to Declined Liens, the parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, (a) none of the Grantors shall, or shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (1) grant any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Junior Lien Obligation unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the First Lien Obligations, or (2) grant any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Junior Lien Obligations; and (b) if any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any other Junior Lien Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Junior Lien Obligations that are not also subject to the first priority Liens securing all First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Collateral Documents, such Junior Lien Debt Representative or other Junior Lien Secured Party (i) shall notify the Collateral Trustee promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each First Lien Debt Representative as security for the First Lien Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Collateral Trustee as security for all First Lien Obligations for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (ii) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each First Lien Debt Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each First Lien Debt Representative and the other First Lien Secured Parties as security for the First Lien Obligations. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any First Lien Debt Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party, each Junior Lien Debt Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Junior Lien Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 3.04.

Section 2.12 Confirmation of Subordination in Collateral Documents. The First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties agree that each Junior Lien Collateral Document (other than any Shared Collateral Documents) shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Controlling Representative):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement, dated as of July 27, 2023 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Trust Agreement”), among Seadrill Limited, Seadrill Finance Limited, X.X. Xxxxxx SE, as Administrative Agent, GLAS Trust Company LLC, as Trustee under the Indenture and GLAS Trust Company LLC, as Collateral Trustee and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement shall govern and control to the extent permitted by mandatory law applicable to this Agreement.”

Section 2.13 Shared Collateral Document Legend. In addition, in furtherance of the foregoing, the First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties agree that each Shared Collateral Document shall, to the extent possible under applicable law, include the following language (or language substantially similar that is customary or appropriate in the relevant jurisdiction):

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Grantor, each Secured Debt Representative (on behalf of the Secured Parties it represents) and the Collateral Trustee, acknowledge and agrees that:

(x) the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement to the Collateral Trustee is intended to be (i) to the Collateral Trustee for each First Lien Debt Representative for the benefit of the Secured Parties it represents, a “first” priority senior security interest in the Collateral subject hereto and (ii) to the Collateral Trustee for each Junior Lien Debt Representative, for the benefit of the Secured Parties it represents, a “second” priority security interest in the Collateral subject hereto, fully junior, subordinated and subject to the security interest granted to Collateral Trustee for each First Lien Debt Representative and the First Lien Secured Parties on the terms and conditions set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement notwithstanding the fact that a single security interest has been granted pursuant to this Agreement and all other rights and benefits afforded hereunder are expressly subject to the terms and conditions of the Collateral Trust Agreement; and

(y) the First Lien Secured Parties security interests in the Collateral are intended to constitute security interests separate and apart (and of a different class and claim) from the Junior Lien Secured Parties’ security interests in the Collateral.”

Unless it has been directed to the contrary by an Act of Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee in any event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to any default under any Secured Debt Document as it may deem advisable.

Section 3.04 Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon, or exercise of any right or remedy with respect to, any Collateral Document and the proceeds thereof, Sale Proceeds, and the proceeds of any insurance policy or any assignment of earnings required under any First Lien Document or Junior Lien Document or otherwise covering the Collateral in the following order of application:

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s fees and any reasonable and documented legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Secured Debt Document (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations that are then due and payable);

SECOND, to the repayment of obligations, other than the Secured Obligations, secured by a Permitted Prior Lien on the Collateral sold or realized upon to the extent that such other Lien has priority over the First Liens but only if such obligation is discharged (in whole or in part) in connection with such sale or other realization;

THIRD, to the respective First Lien Debt Representatives on a pro rata basis (or such other basis as set forth in any intercreditor agreement in respect of one or more Series of First Lien Debt in accordance with the written instruction of the respective First Lien Debt Representatives) for each Series of First Lien Debt that is secured by such Collateral, for application to the payment of all such outstanding First Lien Debt and any such other

First Lien Obligations that are then due and payable and so secured (for application in such order as may be provided in the First Lien Documents applicable to the respective First Lien Obligations) in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding First Lien Debt and all other First Lien Obligations that are then due and payable (including all interest and fees accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the First Lien Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding, and including the discharge or cash collateralization (at the lower of (1) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount and (2) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable First Lien Document) of all outstanding letters of credit constituting First Lien Debt), in each case to the extent permitted under applicable law;

FOURTH, to the respective Junior Lien Debt Representatives on a pro rata basis (or such other basis as set forth in any intercreditor agreement in respect of one or more Series of Junior Lien Debt in accordance with the written instruction of the respective Junior Lien Debt Representatives) for each Series of Junior Lien Debt that is secured by such Collateral for application to the payment of all outstanding Junior Lien Debt and any other Junior Lien Obligations that are so secured and then due and payable (for application in such order as may be provided in the Junior Lien Documents applicable to the respective Junior Lien Obligations) in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Junior Lien Debt and all other Junior Lien Obligations that are then due and payable and so secured (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest and fees accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the Junior Lien Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding, and including the discharge or cash collateralization (at the lower of (1) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount and (2) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Junior Lien Document) of all outstanding letters of credit, if any, constituting Junior Lien Debt), in each case to the extent permitted under applicable law; and

FIFTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of amounts described in the preceding clauses will be paid to the Borrower or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, or to such other Persons as may be entitled to such amounts under applicable law or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series of Secured Debt has released its Lien on any Collateral as described in Section 4.04, then such Series of Secured Debt and any related Secured Obligations of that series thereafter shall solely bear the results of such impairment and shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any Collateral so released by that series nor be entitled to a “true up” or other turnover or compensation from the proceeds of other Collateral as a result of such impairment.

(b) If any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any other Junior Lien Secured Party collects or receives any proceeds of such foreclosure, collection or other enforcement, proceeds of any insurance, Sale Proceeds or any proceeds subject to Liens that have been avoided or otherwise invalidated that should have been applied to the payment of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 3.04(a) above, whether before or after the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such Junior Lien Debt Representative or such Junior Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the First Lien Secured Parties, to be applied in accordance with Section 3.04(a). Until so delivered, such proceeds shall be segregated and will be held in trust by that Xxxxxx Xxxx Debt Representative or that other Junior Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, these provisions will not apply to payments received by any holder of Junior Lien Obligations if such payments are not proceeds of, or the result of a realization upon, Collateral or any Collateral Document.

(c) This Section 3.04 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Secured Obligations, each present and future Secured Debt Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of the First Liens and Xxxxxx Xxxxx. The Secured Debt Representative of each future Series of Secured Debt will be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder, including a lien sharing and priority confirmation as provided in Section 3.08 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.

(d) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 3.04(a), except as otherwise directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.

(e) In making the determinations and allocations in accordance with Section 3.04(a), the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the relevant First Lien Debt Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to its respective First Lien Debt and any other First Lien Obligations and information supplied by the relevant Junior Lien Debt Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to its respective Junior Lien Debt and any other Junior Lien Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Secured Debt Representatives hereby agrees that, upon request of the Collateral Trustee, it shall promptly deliver a certificate to the Collateral Trustee specifying, as of the requested date, the amount of any Secured Obligations under the Secured Debt Documents represented by it. If requested by the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Debt Representative so requested shall supply the Collateral Trustee with reasonable supporting documentation to evidence the amount of such Secured Obligations.

Section 3.05 Powers of the Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Collateral Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article III or, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any lawful directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Required Secured Parties.

(b) No Secured Debt Representative or Secured Party (other than the Collateral Trustee) will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 3.06 Documents and Communications. The Collateral Trustee will permit each Secured Debt Representative upon reasonable written notice from time to time to inspect and copy, at the cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Collateral Documents and other documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such.

Section 3.07 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the Collateral at any time granted, transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estates solely and exclusively for the benefit of the present and future holders of present and future Secured Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04.

Section 3.08 Additional Secured Debt.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as Collateral Trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Funded Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof if:

(i)

such Funded Debt is identified as Junior Lien Debt or First Lien Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.08(b); and

(ii)

unless such Funded Debt is issued under an existing Secured Debt Document for any Series of Secured Debt whose Secured Debt Representative is already party to this Agreement, the designated Secured Debt Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.08(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the incurrence of revolving credit obligations under commitments that have previously been designated as Secured Debt, (y) the issuance of letters of credit and incurrence of reimbursement obligations in respect thereof or in respect of Cash Management Obligations or obligations under Swap Agreements under or in connection with commitments that have previously been designated as Secured Debt; and (z) the issuance of additional Notes under the Indenture shall automatically constitute Secured Debt of the same series as the Indenture and shall not require compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.08(b).

(b) The Borrower will be permitted to designate as Secured Debt hereunder any Funded Debt that is incurred by the Borrower or any other Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents. The Borrower may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee an Additional Secured Debt Designation that:

(i)

states that the Borrower or such other Grantor intends to incur additional Secured Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) which will either be (as specified in such Additional Secured Debt Designation) (A) First Lien Debt not prohibited by any Secured Debt Document to be incurred and secured by a First Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future First Lien Debt or (B) Junior Lien Debt not prohibited by any Secured Debt Document to be incurred and secured with a Junior Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Junior Lien Debt;

(ii)

specifies the name and address of the Secured Debt Representative for such Additional Secured Debt for purposes of Section 7.08 of this Agreement;

(iii)

states that the Borrower and each other Grantor has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Documents;

(iv)

attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Secured Debt Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Borrower and each other Grantor; and

(v)

states that the Borrower has caused a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation and the related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Secured Debt Representative.

Although the Borrower shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Secured Debt Designation and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Secured Debt Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then-existing Secured Debt Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Secured Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.08 are complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Borrower or any other Grantor to incur additional Funded Debt or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any Secured Debt Document.

(c) With respect to any Secured Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, the Borrower and each of the other Grantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee, any First Lien Debt Representative, any Junior Lien Debt Representative or any Act of Required Secured Parties, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Collateral Documents), including, without limitation, the execution of an amendment to any vessel mortgage forming part of the Collateral Documents and its recordation with any applicable vessel registry, as may from time to time be reasonably necessary or requested by such Persons, to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Collateral Documents, and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Collateral Documents). The Borrower and each other Grantor hereby further agree

that, if there are any recording, filing, documentary stamp tax or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.08(c), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Borrower and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.

(d) [reserved].

(e) The Borrower shall have the right at any time on or after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred to enter into any First Lien Document evidencing First Lien Debt the incurrence of which is not prohibited by the applicable Secured Debt Documents and to designate such Funded Debt as First Lien Debt in accordance with Section 3.08(b). At any time from and after the date of such designation pursuant to Section 3.08(b) (the “Reference Date”), subject to compliance with Section 3.08(c), the obligations under such First Lien Document shall automatically and without further action be treated as First Lien Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Junior Lien Obligations shall be at all times subordinated and junior to such First Liens Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including with respect to Junior Lien Obligations that were incurred or outstanding on or prior to the Reference Date.

(e) Any payment made, or amount recovered, in respect of the Borrower’s or a Grantor’s First Lien Parallel Debt shall reduce the First Lien Underlying Debts owed to any First Lien Secured Party by the amount which that First Lien Secured Party is entitled to receive out of that payment or recovery under the First Lien Documents.

Section 3.10 Junior Lien Parallel Debt.

(a) The Borrower and each Grantor undertakes with the Collateral Trustee to pay to the Collateral Trustee its Junior Lien Parallel Debts.

(b) Each Junior Lien Parallel Debt is (x) a separate and independent obligation from, and without prejudice to, its Junior Lien Underlying Debts, (y) constitutes a single obligation of the Borrower and each Grantor to the Collateral Trustee and (z) is an independent and separate claim of the Collateral Trustee to receive payment of that Junior Lien Parallel Debt (in its capacity as the independent and separate creditor of that Junior Lien Parallel Debt).

(d) The Borrower nor any Grantor may pay any Junior Lien Parallel Debt other than at the instruction of, and in the manner determined by, the Collateral Trustee. Without prejudice to Section 3.10(b) above, each Junior Lien Parallel Debt is due and payable at the same time as, for the same amount of and in the same currency as its Junior Lien Underlying Debts and all payments to be made by the Borrower or a Grantor in respect of its Junior Lien Parallel Debts shall be calculated and be made without (and clear of any deduction for) set-off or counterclaim.

(e) Any payment made, or amount recovered, in respect of the Borrower’s or a Grantor’s Junior Lien Parallel Debt shall reduce the Junior Lien Underlying Debts owed to any Junior Lien Secured Party by the amount which that Junior Lien Secured Party is entitled to receive out of that payment or recovery under the Junior Lien Documents.

(i) in the case of any release pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.01(a), if the terms of any such sale, transfer or other disposition require the payment of the purchase price to be contemporaneous with the delivery of the applicable release, then, at the written request of and at the expense of the Borrower or other applicable Grantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) deliver the release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release; and

(ii) at any time when a Secured Debt Default under a Series of Secured Debt that constitutes Junior Lien Debt has occurred and is continuing, within one Business Day of the receipt by it of any Act of Required Secured Parties pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(v), the Collateral Trustee will deliver a copy of such Act of Required Secured Parties to each Secured Debt Representative.

(d) Each Secured Debt Representative xxxxxx agrees that:

(i) as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of an Officers’ Certificate from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(i) but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, it will, to the extent required by Section 4.01(b)(iii), either provide (A) the written confirmation required by Section 4.01(b)(iii), (B) a written statement that such release is not permitted by Section 4.01(a) or (C) a request for further information from the Borrower reasonably necessary to determine whether the proposed release is permitted by Section 4.01(a) and after receipt of such information such Secured Debt Representative will as soon as reasonably practicable either provide the written confirmation or statement required pursuant to clause (A) or (B), as applicable; and

(ii) within one Business Day of the receipt by it of any notice from the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(ii), such Secured Debt Representative will deliver a copy of such notice to each registered holder of the Series of First Lien Debt or Series of Junior Lien Debt for which it acts as Secured Debt Representative.

Section 4.02 Delivery of Copies to Secured Debt Representatives. The Collateral Trustee will deliver to each Secured Debt Representative a copy of each Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(i), together with copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate. The Secured Debt Representatives will not be obligated to take notice thereof or to act thereon, except as provided by Section 4.01(d).

Section 4.03 Collateral Trustee not Required to Serve, File or Record. The Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral; provided, however, that if the Borrower or any other Grantor shall make a written demand for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC, the Collateral Trustee shall comply with the written request of such Borrower or other Grantor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision if the Collateral Trustee has received the documents contemplated in Section 4.01.

Section 4.04 Release of Liens in Respect of any Series of First Lien Debt or any Series of Junior Lien Debt.

(a) Release of Liens in Respect of the Notes. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the Collateral Trustee’s Junior Lien will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the Indenture or any other Obligations under the Indenture, and the right of the holders of the Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Junior Lien on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

(i) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as set forth under Section 8.01 (Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance) of the Indenture;

(ii) upon a Legal Defeasance Option or Covenant Defeasance Option of the Notes as set forth under Article 8 (Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance) of the Indenture;

(iii) upon payment in full and discharge of all Notes outstanding under the Indenture and all Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable under the Indenture at the time the Notes are paid in full and discharged; or

(iv) in whole or in part, with the consent of the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with Article 9 (Amendments) of the Indenture.

(b) Release of Liens in Respect of any Series of First Lien Debt Other than the Obligations under the Credit Agreement or any Series of Junior Lien Debt other than the Notes and other Obligations under the Indenture. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, as to any Series of First Lien Debt (other than Obligations under the Credit Agreement), the Collateral Trustee’s First Lien (solely with respect to the First Lien Secured Parties of such series) will no longer secure such Series of First Lien Debt if the requirements of a Discharge of First Lien Obligations are satisfied with respect to such Series of First Lien Debt and all First Lien Obligations related thereto. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, as to any Series of Junior Lien Debt (other than the Notes or other Obligations under the Indenture), the Collateral Trustee’s Junior Lien (solely with respect to the Junior Lien Secured Parties of such series) will no longer secure such Series of Junior Lien Debt if the requirements of a Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations are satisfied with respect to such Series of Junior Lien Debt and all Junior Lien Obligations related thereto.

(c) Release of Liens in Respect of the Credit Agreement. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, the Collateral Trustee’s First Lien (solely with respect to the First Lien Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement) on the Collateral securing the Credit Agreement Obligations shall be released in accordance with Section 11.30 of the Credit Agreement to the extent the terms and conditions thereunder have been satisfied.

Section 4.05 Collateral Matters. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other First Lien Document or Junior Lien Document to the contrary, the time period for any delivery, filing, perfection or other action in respect of the Collateral or insurance (including any notice in respect thereof) as provided in any First Lien Document can be extended by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and any such extension shall be applicable to an equal extent under the corresponding Junior Lien Documents.

ARTICLE V.

IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

Section 5.01 No Implied Duty. The Collateral Trustee is entering into this Agreement not in its individual capacity but solely in its capacity as Collateral Trustee under this Agreement and any other Secured Debt Documents and in entering into this Agreement and acting hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights, protections and immunities granted to the Collateral Trustee under any Secured Debt Document. The Collateral Trustee will not have any fiduciary duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, or in connection with which it determines it would incur liability.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, whenever reference is made in this Agreement to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Trustee or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction, reasonable satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Trustee, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Trustee shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Agreement if it shall not have received an Act of Required Secured Parties. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

Section 5.02 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it with due care and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

Section 5.03 Other Agreements. The Collateral Trustee has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee hereunder and is bound by the Collateral Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the date of this Agreement and, as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties and subject to this Article V and at the cost of the Borrower, the Collateral Trustee shall execute additional intercreditor agreements or Collateral Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such additional Collateral Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be deemed to have knowledge of, be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Secured Debt (other than this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party).

Section 5.04 Solicitation of Instructions.

(a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of an Act of Required Secured Parties, an Officers’ Certificate, an opinion of counsel upon which the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents and, subject to Section 5.05, will not be deemed to have breached its obligations pursuant to this Agreement by failing to take such action if such written confirmatory instructions are not provided.

(b) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Required Secured Parties that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

Section 5.05 Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Collateral Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be liable for any punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages of any kind even if such damages were foreseeable.

Section 5.06 Documents in Satisfactory Form. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

Section 5.07 Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Trustee may seek and conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Borrower or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Secured Debt Representative as to the Secured Parties for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Collateral Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

Section 5.08 Secured Debt Default. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Secured Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Secured Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties or as otherwise set forth in Section 3.03.

Section 5.09 Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

Section 5.10 Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee. No provision of this Agreement, or any of the other Secured Debt Documents shall require the Collateral Trustee to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. If it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work or to take the action requested is not reasonably assured to it, the Collateral Trustee may decline to act unless it receives indemnity or security satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including an advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement, any of the other Secured Debt Documents or otherwise if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

Section 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Collateral Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Collateral Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Collateral Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable and commercial care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. Notwithstanding anything in any Secured Debt Documents to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the preparation, filing or recording of any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee will execute, file or record UCC-3 continuation statements and other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee (subject to the priorities set forth herein) if it shall receive a specific written request to execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific document or instrument by any Secured Debt Representative. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Secured Debt Representative a copy of any such written request. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral.

Section 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(i)

each of the parties to the Collateral Documents (other than this Agreement) will remain liable thereunder to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;

(ii)

the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Collateral Documents; and

(iii)

the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties to the Collateral Documents other than the Collateral Trustee.

Section 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign immediately as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

Section 5.15 Rights of Collateral Trustee. In its appointment hereunder and in acting or refraining to act hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall enjoy all the same rights, protections, indemnities and limitations of liabilities provided to it under the applicable Secured Debt Documents as if they were expressly provided for in this Agreement.

Section 5.16 Joint Collateral Trustee.

In the case of any Shared Collateral Document:

(a) Each Secured Party confirms the appointment, at any time and from time to time, as reasonably determined to be necessary by the Collateral Trustee consistent with the principles set forth in this Section, of the Collateral Trustee as a joint collateral agent and administrator for the purpose of accepting, holding on trust and administering Collateral pursuant to any Shared Collateral Document.

(b) The Collateral Trustee confirms that it accepts such appointment and that it shall hold any applicable Collateral subject to a Shared Collateral Document in trust for all of the Secured Parties on the terms contained in this Agreement and the relevant Secured Debt Documents.

(c) At the request of the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Party shall provide the Collateral Trustee with a separate written power of attorney for the purposes of executing any relevant Shared Collateral Documents and documents on their behalf.

ARTICLE VI.

Section 6.02 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by an Act of Required Secured Parties. If no successor Collateral Trustee has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of the Borrower), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee, which must be a bank or trust company:

Section 6.03 Succession. When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Trustee accepts such appointment:

(a) such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Trustee, and the predecessor Collateral Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and

(b) the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of the Borrower) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security and other property of the Trust Estates within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Collateral Documents or the Trust Estates, including, without limitation, the execution of an amendment to any vessel mortgage forming part of the Collateral Documents and its recordation with any applicable vessel registry.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article V and the provisions of Sections 7.11 and 7.12.

Section 6.04 Merger, Amalgamation, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged, amalgamated or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, amalgamation conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.03; provided that (i) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 6.02 and (ii) prior to any such merger, amalgamation, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified the Borrower, each First Lien Debt Representative and each Junior Lien Debt Representative thereof in writing; provided that such notification may take place as soon as practicable subsequent to any such merger, amalgamation, conversion or consolidation to the extent the Collateral Trustee was prohibited by binding legal documentation from providing earlier notice.

ARTICLE VII.

(c) The Collateral Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document other than with respect to the items set forth in Schedule 6.15 of the Credit Agreement, unless it has received an Officers’ Certificate and opinion of counsel, upon which the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely stating that such amendment or supplement will not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Secured Debt Documents.

Section 7.02 Voting. In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Secured Debt, each Series of Secured Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Secured Debt Documents governing such Series of Secured Debt. The amount of Secured Debt to be voted by a Series of Secured Debt will equal (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Secured Debt held by such Series of Secured Debt (including outstanding letters of credit whether or not then available or drawn), plus (2) other than in connection with an exercise of remedies, the aggregate unfunded commitments to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Funded Debt of such Series of Secured Debt.

Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as agent of the holders of the First Lien Obligations, the Collateral Trustee agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Debt Representatives.

Section 7.05 When Discharge of Secured Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.

If, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Borrower enters into any Additional Secured Debt evidencing any First Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a First Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future First Lien Debt, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the First Lien Debt Representative in respect of such Additional Secured Debt becomes a party to this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.08, the obligations under such First Lien Documents shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Debt Representative under such new First Lien Documents shall be a First Lien Debt Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and 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. Upon receipt of an Additional Secured Debt Designation from the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.08, each Junior Lien Debt Representative shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower or such applicable Junior Lien Debt Representative shall reasonably request in order to provide to such First Lien Debt Representative the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. If the First Lien Obligations under such additional First Lien Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Junior Lien Obligations, then the Junior Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a junior-priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Junior Lien Documents and this Agreement, subject to Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 2.11. This Section 7.05 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.02, the Collateral Trustee may not, in its capacity as such, delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Secured Debt Representative and each present and future holder of Secured Obligations, each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof, and all of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any other Grantor may delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Borrower and the other Grantors hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Debt Representative and each present and future holder of Secured Obligations, each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof, and all of their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.07 Delay and Waiver. No failure to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to the exercise of, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy arising under this Agreement or any of the other Collateral Documents will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy will preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 7.12 Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower and the other Grantors jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Debt Representative, each Secured Party and each of their respective Affiliates and each and all of the directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents, and (in each case) their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns (each of the foregoing, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liability to the extent such Indemnified Liability (x) is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, willful breach of its obligations hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Document or violation of law, (y) results from or is in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that has been brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than any claims against an Indemnitee acting in its capacity as an agent or similar capacity hereunder) or (z) relates to Taxes, except any Taxes arising from a non-Tax claim.

(b) All amounts due under this Section 7.12 will be payable upon demand.

(e) The agreements in this Section 7.12 will survive repayment of all other Secured Obligations and the removal or resignation of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 7.13 Actions Upon Breach; Specific Performance. If any Junior Lien Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fails to take any action required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and admission by such Junior Lien Secured Party that relief against such Junior Lien Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the First Lien Secured Parties, it being understood and agreed by each Junior Lien Debt Representative, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Secured Party represented by it, that (i) the First Lien Secured Parties’ damages from actions of any Junior Lien Secured Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and (ii) each Junior Lien Secured Party waives any defense that the Borrower and the other Grantors and/or the First Lien Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. Each of the First Lien Debt Representatives may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each Junior Lien Debt Representative, on behalf of itself and each other Junior Lien Secured Party represented by it, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by any First Lien Debt Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver by any First Lien Debt Representative or any Junior Lien Debt Representative (on behalf of itself and each other Secured Party represented by it) of any right to seek damages from any Person in connection with any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

Section 7.14 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating 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 hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any 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.

Section 7.22 Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together will be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) 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 this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement 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 state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereby by electronic means.

The Borrower will cause each Person that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Secured Debt Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Borrower shall promptly provide each Secured Debt Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.23; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then-existing Secured Debt Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.23 are complied with.

Section 7.24 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement, including the subordination provisions hereof, will be reinstated if at any time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the First Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any First Lien Secured Party or First Lien Debt Representative or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise). In the event that all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the First Lien Obligations is recovered from any First Lien Secured Party or any First Lien Debt Representative in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, any such payment or distribution received by any Junior Lien Secured Party or Junior Lien Debt Representative with respect to the Junior Lien Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral at any time after the date of the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or otherwise will be forthwith delivered by such Junior Lien Secured Party or Junior Lien Debt Representative to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the First Lien Secured Parties to be applied in accordance with Section 3.04. Until so delivered, such proceeds will be held by that Junior Lien Debt Representative or that Xxxxxx Xxxx Secured Party, as the case may be, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties. This Section 7.24 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.25 Insolvency. This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor. The relative rights of the First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties as provided for in this Agreement will continue after the commencement of any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of its commencement, as provided in this Agreement.

Section 7.26 Rights and Immunities of Secured Debt Representatives. The Administrative Agent will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Credit Agreement, the Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture and any future Secured Debt Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Secured Debt with respect to which such Person will act as representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Secured Debt Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Borrower, the other Grantors or the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.27 Change of Intra-Group Lender. Any Intra-Group Lender may (a) assign any of its rights or (b) transfer any of its rights and obligations, in respect of the Intra-Group Liabilities to another Debtor and that Debtor shall be deemed to be an Intra-Group Lender for the purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound as an Intra-Group Lender hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as an Intra-Group Lender herein.

Section 7.28 New Intra-Group Lender. If the Borrower, any Debtor or another member of the Group makes any loan to or grants any credit to or makes any other financial arrangement having similar effect which will be outstanding for more than 30 Business Days with the Borrower or any Debtor, the member of the Group giving that loan, granting that credit or making that other financial arrangement (if not already a party as an Intra-Group Lender) shall promptly execute and deliver a joinder in the form attached as Exhibit D and shall thereby be deemed to be an Intra-Group Lender for the purposes of this Agreement and shall be bound as an Intra-Group Lender hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as an Intra-Group Lender herein.
