Section 2.6 Notice of Default.
The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have constructive knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Subject Event of Default with respect to which it does not have actual knowledge by any of its personnel or officers active in its service as Collateral Agent unless it has received an Enforcement Notice that is clearly identified as such.
7
Section 2.7 No Representations.
Each Secured Party that is a party hereto acknowledges that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its affiliates or agents has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Secured Party. Each Secured Party represents to the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness, affairs, status and nature of the Credit Parties, and the status, nature and value of the Collateral, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the Subject Documents to which it is party. Each Secured Party also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under any of the Subject Documents and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the status and affairs, financial or otherwise, of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the Security Instruments, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the Collateral or the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to Distributions pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof) which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent.
Section 2.8 Indemnification.
Each Secured Party agrees to, within ten (10) Business Days of a request by Collateral Agent, indemnify for its Indemnity Share (as defined below) each Agent Party in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting any obligations of the Borrower so to do) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of any amounts due under this Agreement or any Subject Document) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Security Instruments, this Agreement or the Subject Documents or any other document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that, no Secured Party shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from an Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any Secured Party fails to tender payment of its ratable share (determined based upon, at such date, the percentage held by such Secured Party of the total outstanding Secured Obligations (such Secured Party’s “Indemnity Share”)) of any of such Indemnified Liabilities (a “Non-indemnifying Secured Party”), then the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly granted the right thereafter to, and shall, withhold from any Distributions (including, without limitation, Collateral Proceeds) otherwise payable to such Non-indemnifying Secured Party (or, if applicable, the agent for such Secured Party (whether the Revolver Agent or Term Loan Agent) which would otherwise receive payment on behalf of such Secured Party) an amount equal to its Indemnity Share remaining unpaid at such time of receipt of such Distributions, plus interest on such Indemnity Share (calculated at the Federal Funds Rate for each day following the date on which such payment was due pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.8) and apply such amount withheld in satisfaction of such Indemnity Share. The agreements in this Section 2.8 shall survive the payment of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Security Instruments, the other Subject Documents and this Agreement. Each of the Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that to the extent it is deemed to be a Non-indemnifying Secured Party, it shall not be entitled, under any Subject Documents to which it is a party, to payment in respect of any amount withheld as an Indemnity Share and that distributions under such Subject Documents shall be made as if such Indemnity Share (or withheld portion thereof) was already paid to it under the applicable Subject Document(s).
Section 2.9 Resignation and Removal of Collateral Agent.
(a) If the Collateral Agent shall resign as Collateral Agent under this Agreement, such resignation to be effective upon the earlier of (i) the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent and (ii) the date occurring thirty (30) days following such resignation, then the Required Secured Parties may
8
appoint a successor Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties, which shall be a commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having a combined surplus and capital of not less than $500,000,000, whereupon such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the former Collateral Agent and the obligations of the former Collateral Agent shall be terminated and canceled, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, if the Required Secured Parties cannot agree as to a successor Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after notice of such resignation, then (i) the resigning Collateral Agent shall be permitted to appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above and willing to accept such role and the parties hereto agree to execute whatever documents are necessary to effect such action under this Agreement or any other document executed pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) if the Collateral Agent does not appoint any such successor Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties shall act collectively as the Collateral Agent hereunder until such date as a new Collateral Agent is apppointed.

The Collateral Agent may not be removed by the Required Secured Parties without cause.
(c) After the effective date of the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 2 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under the Security Instruments and this Agreement; provided, however, that any liability of such Collateral Agent arising from the performance of its obligations hereunder prior to such resignation or removal shall survive such resignation or removal.

The Collateral Agent hereunder hereby agrees to serve as Collateral Agent under the Security Instruments. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent hereunder and the appointment of a substitute Collateral Agent shall also be effective as a resignation, removal or substitution of the Collateral Agent under the Security Instruments.

Nothing contained herein shall prevent, restrict, or limit any right under the applicable Subject Documents for a Secured Party to accelerate or suspend or terminate all or any portion of any Secured Obligation.
Section 3.3 Priority of Interests.
Notwithstanding any agreements or arrangements in existence prior to the date hereof or hereafter arising or the existence or priority of any Lien in any of the Collateral held by a Secured Party or any other Person on behalf of a Secured Party on the date hereof or hereafter arising without giving effect to this Agreement, the rights and interests of such Secured Party in the Collateral, and any Lien therein, shall be subject to this Agreement and treated as among the Secured Parties as having such priority as set forth herein and shall be shared at all times among the Secured Parties in accordance herewith and the Collateral Proceeds of any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral for any reasons whatsoever shall be distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 3.4 Distributions.
(a) (i) Each Secured Party agrees to share with the other Secured Parties all Distributions at all times (whether or not a Subject Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and whether or not any Bankruptcy Event shall have commenced or be continuing with respect to any Credit Party) according to the priorities and in the manner provided in this Section 3.4. In furtherance of the foregoing, any and all payments and other Distributions required to be made by any Credit Party in respect of the Secured Obligations shall at all times be paid by the Credit Parties to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 3.4. Each Secured Party agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of any other Subject Documents, if it shall receive any Distributions (including payments received by setoff of deposit balances or otherwise or payments or recoveries from any security interest granted to any Secured Party) other than as a result (whether directly or indirectly through the Revolver Agent or Term Loan Agent, as applicable) of a distribution by the Collateral Agent pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.4, such Secured Party shall promptly (in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof) pay the same over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as received (with such endorsements as may be necessary), and that until such Secured Party shall have made such payment it will hold such Distributions in trust for all the Secured Parties. Each of the Revolving Lenders
10
hereby authorize Collateral Agent to direct all Distributions to which they are entitled to the Revolver Agent for distribution in accordance with the Revolving Credit Documents. Each of the Term Loan Lenders hereby authorize Collateral Agent to direct all Distributions to which they are entitled to the Term Loan Agent for distribution in accordance with the Term Loan Documents.
(ii) Promptly following receipt of any Distributions, the Collateral Agent shall distribute each Secured Party’s share of the Distributions so received in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 3.4 to the Revolver Agent or the Term Loan Agent, as applicable, for application in accordance with the applicable Subject Documents. Until such Distributions are so applied, the Collateral Agent shall hold such amounts in its custody in accordance with its regular procedures for handling deposited funds.
(b) (i) All Distributions received by the Collateral Agent shall be applied promptly by the Collateral Agent in the following order as of any date of distribution:
FIRST: to payment of the costs, fees and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the Security Instruments and with any or all of the retaking, holding, preserving, processing, advertising, maintaining, preparing for or consummating any sale, lease or other disposition of any Collateral, including trustee’s fees and commissions, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses pertaining thereto; and then
SECOND: to payment of the costs, fees and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) due and owing by the Credit Parties to the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent as of such date in connection with the Subject Documents (the “Agents’ Fees”), ratably in accordance with the percentage of the Agents’ Fees then due and owing to each of them; and then
THIRD: to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees (except fees related to the prepayment of principal) and interest then due and payable by the Credit Parties in respect of the Subject Obligations (the “Interest Payables”); provided that such payments shall be made ratably to the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent in accordance with the percentage of the total Interest Payables due and owing as of such date to the Revolving Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders, respectively; and then
FOURTH: to the payment of all principal due and payable by the Credit Parties in respect of the Subject Obligations (including due and owing as mandatory prepayments and, if applicable, all amounts necessary to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit) (the “Principal Payables”); provided that such payments shall be made ratably to the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent in accordance with the percentage of the total Principal Payables due and owing as of such date to the Revolving Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders, respectively; and then
FIFTH: to the payment in respect of any other costs, expenses or other amounts owing to any Secured Party by the Credit Parties on the Secured Obligations or otherwise in connection with the Subject Documents, except costs, expenses and other amounts which may be due and owing in connection with any voluntary prepayment of principal (the “Other Payables”); provided that such payments shall be made ratably to the Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent in accordance with the percentage of the total Other Payables due and owing as of such date to the Revolving Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders, respectively; and then
SIXTH: to the extent directed by the Principal Borrower, to the voluntary payment of the outstanding principal under the Term Loan Agreement or Revolving Credit Agreement (at the option of and as directed in writing by the Principal Borrower), together with any interest accrued thereon, fees due in connection with such prepayment and any breakage or other costs and fees payable by Borrower in connection therewith; and then
SEVENTH: to the Principal Borrower or as otherwise required by applicable law.
11
(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make a payment pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) until it shall have received a threshold amount of at least $100,000 of Distributions that are to be distributed at such time pursuant to this Section 3.4.
(iii) The Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent shall apply all amounts received pursuant to this Section 3.4(b) in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Agreement, respectively.
(c) To the extent any portion of a Distribution is funded for the purpose of cash collateralizing a Letter of Credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement (an “Unattached Cash Collateral Amount”) and the applicable Letter of Credit is, thereafter, terminated without having been drawn on, the Revolver Agent (and the Revolving Lenders) shall return such Unattached Cash Collateral Amount to the Collateral Agent for re-distribution in accordance with the terms of Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement.
(d) If at any time the Collateral Agent, the Agent or any Secured Party shall be required to restore or return, or if such party (with the consent of the Required Secured Parties) restores or returns in good faith settlement of pending or threatened avoidance claims, to any Credit Party or any other Person other than to another Secured Party any Distributions or any portion thereof, whether by reason of the insolvency, reorganization or other similar event in respect of the Borrower or such Person or otherwise (a “Returned Amount”), then (i) the Collateral Agent shall promptly give notice of the Returned Amount to each Secured Party, and (ii) the Secured Parties shall promptly transfer to the Collateral Agent (for reimbursement to the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, as the case may be) such amounts as are necessary such that each Secured Party shall have received and retained the amount it would have received under Section 3.4(b) had the Returned Amount not previously been distributed (its “Returned Amount Share”). If any Secured Party (a “Non-Returning Secured Party”) fails to tender payment of its Returned Amount Share, then the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly granted the right thereafter to, and shall, withhold from any Distributions (including, without limitation, Collateral Proceeds) otherwise payable to such Non-Returning Secured Party an amount equal to its Returned Amount Share and apply such amount withheld in satisfaction of such Returned Amount Share. The Collateral Agent shall also have the right to collect from such Non-Returning Secured Party or otherwise to be made to such Non-Returning Secured Party, such Returned Amount Share and the Collateral Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in collecting such Non-Returning Secured Party’s Returned Amount Share, plus interest on any unpaid portion of such Returned Amount Share at the federal judgment rate from, but excluding, the date the Collateral Agent first requested payment of such Returned Amount Share. The Agreements in this Section 3.4(d) shall survive the payment of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Security Instruments, the other Subject Documents and this Agreement. The Revolver Agent and the Term Loan Agent shall not be responsible for amounts distributed by them to the Revolving Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders. To the extent a Returned Amount has been distributed by the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent to the Revolving Lenders or the Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, it shall be the responsibility of such Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, to fund its Returned Amount Share.
Section 3.5 Waivers of Rights.
Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, until occurrence of the Security Termination Date, each Secured Party hereby waives any and all rights each may individually (i.e., other than through the Collateral Agent) now or hereafter have to exercise any Enforcement action. Each Secured Party hereby agrees not to take any action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of the Security Instruments or to enforce any right with respect to the Collateral in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or the terms and provisions of the Security Instruments. Nothing set forth above or otherwise contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted as a waiver of any rights of setoff (by contract, law or otherwise) of any Secured Party except in accordance with the sharing provisions set forth herein.
12
Section 3.6 Additional Collateral.
Each of the Secured Parties hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take, accept or obtain any Lien upon (an “Additional Lien”), any assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (other than assets which, if obtained by such Person, would constitute Collateral to secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations), unless the Collateral Agent on behalf of all Secured Parties is granted a pari passu Lien upon such assets and such assets become Collateral subject to this Agreement, in either case, pursuant to documents in form and substance satisfactory to all of the Secured Parties.
Section 3.7 Pari Passu Nature of Obligations.
Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Obligations share the benefit and Lien priority of and to the Security Instruments, the Collateral and the Collateral Proceeds and the benefit of the Subsidiary Guaranties and the Distributions on the basis specified in Section 3.4(b).
Section 3.8 Payments.
All payments to be made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and provision of this Intercreditor Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified in writing to the Collateral Agent by the applicable party entitled thereto.

Section 6.8 Severability; Repurchase in the Event of Avoidance Actions.
(a) If for any reason, the allocation of Distributions among the Secured Parties in accordance with Section 3.4(b) of this Agreement is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in whole or in part, then the Secured Parties will purchase and exchange such participations in the respective Secured Obligations as may be required so that each Secured Party, after giving effect to all such purchases and exchanges, shall have received and retained cash payments in respect of the amounts distributable under Section 3.4(b) equal to the amount such Secured Party would have received if the amounts had been applied in accordance with such Section 3.4(b); provided, however, if in connection with a Bankruptcy Event of the Borrower any portion of the Subject Obligations or the Borrower’s obligations under the Security Instruments referred to in clauses THIRD, FOURTH, FIFTH, or SIXTH of Section 3.4(b)(i) is determined to be unenforceable or is disallowed (such portion to be hereinafter referred to as a “Disallowed Obligation”), then this Section 6.8(a) shall not be applied or construed in such manner to enable the holder of any such Disallowed Obligation to receive any Distribution on account of such Disallowed Obligation.

Section 6.10 Delivery Payments.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Subject Documents, all Distributions shall be delivered by the Borrower and each Secured Party to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Section 6.11 Reimbursement/Indemnification by Borrower.
(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent, from time to time upon demand, all reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent (including the reasonable fees and charges of counsel) (i) arising in connection with the administration or enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Instruments, (ii) incurred or required to be advanced in connection with the administration of the Collateral,
