Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Fixed Asset Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the ABL Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of any UCC, or any other applicable law or the ABL Loan Documents or the Fixed Asset Documents or any defect or deficiencies (or alleged defect or deficiency) in, or failure to perfect, the Liens securing the ABL Obligations or Fixed Asset Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and/or the ABL Claimholders, and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and/or the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, hereby each agrees that:

(a) any Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, whether now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any Fixed Asset Obligations and, accordingly, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent and each Fixed Asset Claimholder, as applicable, cedes priority of rank of their respective Liens in favor of any Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent and, as applicable, any Lien of the ABL Claimholders, in all respects necessary to achieve the foregoing priority; and

Section 2.03. No New Liens. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations have occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against one or more of the Borrowers or any other Grantor, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, except as expressly provided in any Additional Fixed Asset Document which may provide for such Additional Fixed Asset Obligations to exclude Collateral (but not to include any assets that do not secure the ABL Obligations and Initial Fixed Asset Obligations), it is their intention that:

(a) there shall be no Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Fixed Asset Obligation unless a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor also secures the ABL Obligations;

(b) there shall be no Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any ABL Obligations unless a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor also secures the Fixed Asset Obligations.

To the extent any additional Liens are granted on any such asset or property of a Grantor as described above, the priority of such additional Liens shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.01. In addition, to the extent that Liens are granted on any such asset or property of a Grantor to secure any Fixed Asset Obligation or ABL Obligation, as applicable, and a corresponding Lien is not granted to secured the ABL Obligations or Fixed Charge Obligations, as applicable, without limiting any other rights and remedies available hereunder, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.03 shall be subject to Section 4.02.

In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.08, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) upon request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the ABL Collateral and the Fixed Asset Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the ABL Credit Documents and the Fixed Asset Documents; and

(b) that the ABL Collateral Documents (other than the Cash Management Control Agreements), taken as a whole, and the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents (other than as expressly provided in any Additional Fixed Asset Document), taken as a whole, shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to differences to reflect the nature of the lending arrangements and the first and second lien nature of the Obligations thereunder with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral and the ABL Priority Collateral.

Section 2.05. Perfection of Liens. With respect to any portion of the Collateral, (a) neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Claimholder shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders and (b) neither the Fixed Asset Collateral Agent nor any Fixed Asset Claimholder shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of any ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholders (in either case, without limiting the agreements set forth in Section 5.04).

Administrative Agent, the ABL Lenders, the ABL Claimholders, the Initial Fixed Asset Lenders or the Fixed Asset Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

(a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders:

(i) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral (including the exercise of any right of set-off or any right under any lockbox agreement or any control agreement with respect to Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided, however, that the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent may exercise any or all such rights or remedies after the passage of a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (A) the date on which any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent declared the existence of a Fixed Asset Default and demanded the repayment of all the principal amount of any Fixed Asset Obligations; and (B) the date on which the ABL Collateral Agent received notice from such Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent of such declaration of a Fixed Asset Default (the “Fixed Asset Standstill Period”); provided, further, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Fixed Asset Standstill Period, the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Claimholders shall have commenced and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such Collateral (prompt notice of such exercise to be given to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent);

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Fixed Asset Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;

(ii) take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on any of the Collateral; provided that such action shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not be adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, or the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof;

(iii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Fixed Asset Claimholders, including any claims secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(ii) each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations granted in any of the ABL Credit Documents or undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Fixed Asset Claimholders; and

(iii) each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents or any other Fixed Asset Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Credit Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.01(a) and (d) and 3.05, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Fixed Asset Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Fixed Asset Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Fixed Asset Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Fixed Asset Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders of payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the applicable Fixed Asset Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them, in each case in contravention of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the ABL Credit Documents, other than with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral solely to the extent expressly provided herein.

exercise of their sole discretion.

(ii) take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on any of the Collateral; provided that such action shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and shall not be adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, or the rights of any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any of the Fixed Asset Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof;

(iii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the ABL Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(v) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the ABL Obligations and the ABL Priority Collateral; and

(vi) exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral after the termination of the ABL Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.02(a)(i).

The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that it will not take or receive any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral or any Proceeds of such Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any such Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.02(a), 3.03, 3.04, 6.03(c)(ii) and this Section 3.02(c), the sole right of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.02(a) and (c) and Sections 3.03 and 6.03(c)(ii):

(i) the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the Fixed Asset Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(ii) the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the ABL Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or the Fixed Asset Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Fixed Asset Obligations or the Liens on the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral securing the Fixed Asset Obligations granted in any of the Fixed Asset Documents or undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or the Fixed Asset Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the ABL Claimholders; and

(iii) the ABL Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the ABL Collateral Documents or any other ABL Credit Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents or the Fixed Asset Claimholders with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Fixed Asset Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.02(a) and (d) and 3.05, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the ABL Credit Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any ABL Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Fixed Asset Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the ABL Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Fixed Asset Obligations) as the other Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholders of payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them, in each case in contravention of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents or the Fixed Asset Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Fixed Asset Documents, other than with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral solely to the extent expressly provided herein.

Section 3.03. Exercise of Remedies – Collateral Access Rights. (a) The ABL Collateral Agent and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent agree not to commence any Collateral Enforcement Action until an Enforcement Notice has been given to the other Collateral Agent. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 3.02 above, either Collateral Agent may join in any judicial proceedings commenced by the other Collateral Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral; provided that neither Collateral Agent, nor the ABL Claimholders or the Fixed Asset Claimholders, as the case may be, shall interfere with the Collateral Enforcement Actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party has the priority Lien in accordance herewith.

(b) If any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or any agent or representative of any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or other real property of any Grantor, such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Collateral Agent of that fact in writing (such notice, a “Notice of Occupancy”) and the ABL Collateral Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, notify the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent as to whether the ABL Collateral Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement (such notice, an “Access Acceptance Notice”), at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Collateral Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises or other real property of any Grantor at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period may apply to each such property. In the event that the ABL Collateral Agent elects to exercise its access rights as provided in this Agreement, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, that in the event that any Fixed Asset Claimholder exercises its rights to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Premises (or other real property) or other Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, whether before or after the delivery of a Notice of Occupancy to the ABL Collateral Agent, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents shall provide access rights to the ABL Collateral Agent for the duration of the Access Period in accordance with this Agreement and if such a sale or other disposition occurs prior to the ABL Collateral Agent delivering an Access Acceptance Notice during the time period provided therefor, or if applicable, the expiration of the applicable Access Period, shall ensure that the purchaser or other transferee of such Mortgaged Premises (or other real property) or other Fixed Asset Priority Collateral provides the ABL Collateral Agent the opportunity to exercise its access rights, and upon delivery of an Access Acceptance Notice to such purchaser or transferee, continued access rights to the ABL for the duration of the applicable Access Period, in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement.

(c) Upon delivery of notice to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent as provided in Section 3.03(b), the Access Period shall commence for the subject parcel of Mortgaged Premises or other real property of any Grantor. During the Access Period, the ABL Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent free right to use, the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral for the purpose of arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of ABL Priority Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such ABL Priority Collateral for sale or disposition. During any such Access Period, the ABL Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees (and Persons employed on their respective behalves), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Collateral Agent shall take proper care of any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Collateral Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any physical damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Collateral Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Collateral Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral. The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall (to the extent that there are sufficient available proceeds of ABL Collateral for the purposes of paying such indemnity) indemnify and hold harmless the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) during the period in which the ABL Collateral Agent has actual occupation, use and/or control of any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders have any liability to the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents or the Fixed Asset Claimholders pursuant to this Section as a result of the condition of any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by such ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders of their rights under this Section, and the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Collateral Agent, or for any diminution in the value of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral that results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral by the ABL Collateral Agent in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section. The ABL Collateral Agent and the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents to show the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral for sale.

(d) If any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted which prohibits the ABL Collateral Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then at the ABL Collateral Agent’s option, the Access Period granted to the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 3.03 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue

thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.03. If any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall foreclose or otherwise sell any of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent will notify the buyer thereof of the existence of this Agreement and that the buyer is acquiring the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Fixed Asset Collateral Agents (in the case of any Additional Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, to the extent such access rights have been granted to such Collateral Agent) and, to the extent such rights have been granted by the Grantors under any Initial Fixed Asset Documents, the Grantors, agree that the ABL Collateral Agent shall have access, during the Access Period, as described herein and each such Grantor that owns any of the Mortgaged Premises grants a non-exclusive easement in gross over its property to permit the uses by the ABL Collateral Agent contemplated by this Section 3.03. Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent consents to such easement and to the recordation of a collateral access easement agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, in the relevant real estate records with respect to each parcel of real property that is now or hereafter subject to a Fixed Asset Mortgage. The ABL Collateral Agent agrees that upon either the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the expiration of the final Access Period with respect to any parcel of property covered by a Fixed Asset Mortgage, it shall, upon request, execute and deliver to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or if a Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, to the respective Grantor, such documentation, in recordable form, as may reasonably be requested to terminate any and all rights with respect to such Access Periods.

Section 3.04. Exercise of Remedies – Intellectual Property Rights/Access to Information. Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent (in the case of any Additional Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, to the extent such rights have been granted to such Collateral Agent) and, to the extent such rights have been granted by the Grantors under any Initial Fixed Asset Documents, each Grantor hereby grants (to the full extent of their respective rights and interests) the ABL Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees (a) a royalty free, rent free non-exclusive license and lease to use all of the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral constituting Intellectual Property, to complete the sale of ABL Priority Collateral and (b) a royalty free non-exclusive license (which will be binding on any purchaser, successor or assignee of the Intellectual Property) to use any and all Intellectual Property, in each case, at any time in connection with its Collateral Enforcement Action; provided, however, the royalty free, rent free non-exclusive license and lease granted in clause (a) shall immediately expire upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all such ABL Priority Collateral.

Section 3.05. Exercise of Remedies – Set Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. (a) The ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any Grantors’ Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts that contain identifiable cash Proceeds of Fixed Asset Priority Collateral (but only to the extent that the ABL Collateral Agent has received a written notice from the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent stating that (i) a Fixed

Asset Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the relevant Fixed Asset Default and (ii) certain identifiable cash proceeds which have been deposited in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral and reasonably identifying the amount of such Proceeds and specifying the origin thereof), a percentage of the amount of such set-off equal to the percentage that such Proceeds bear to the total amount on deposit in or credited to the balance of such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts shall be deemed to constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, which amount shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.03; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any set-off by the ABL Collateral Agent against any ABL Priority Collateral to the extent applied to the payment of ABL Obligations.

(b) Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice by a Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, all funds deposited in an account subject to a Cash Management Control Agreement that constitute ABL Priority Collateral and then applied to the ABL Obligations shall be treated as ABL Priority Collateral and, unless the ABL Collateral Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, any claim that payments made to the ABL Collateral Agent through the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts that are subject to such Cash Management Control Agreements are identifiable cash Proceeds of or otherwise constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral are waived by the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders.

(c) The ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited in an account subject to a deposit account control agreement or a securities account control agreement, shall not (as between the Collateral Agents, the ABL Claimholders and the Fixed Asset Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral.

Upon the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent any ABL Priority Collateral and Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral held by it as a result of the exercise of remedies in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent to the Fixed Asset Obligations in such order as specified in Section 4.01(b).

(b) Until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all Fixed Asset Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection or distribution on (or with respect to), such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies by any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholder, shall be applied by the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent to the Fixed Asset Obligations in the following order: first, to payment of that portion of the Fixed Asset Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent in its capacity as such pursuant to the terms of any Fixed Asset Document; second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Fixed Asset Claimholders pursuant to the terms of any Fixed Asset Document; third, to the payment in full of Fixed Asset Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, and with respect to the Fixed Asset Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the terms of the applicable Fixed Asset Documents; and fourth if the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, to the Grantors and/or other Persons entitled thereto. Upon the occurrence of the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall deliver to the ABL Collateral Agent any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral and Proceeds of Fixed Asset Priority Collateral held by it as a result of the exercise of remedies in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the ABL Collateral Agent to the ABL Obligations in such order as specified in the ABL Collateral Documents.

Section 4.02. Payments Over in Violation of Agreement. So long as neither the Discharge of ABL Obligations nor the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof (including assets or Proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.03) received by

any Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders or ABL Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the appropriate Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Fixed Asset Claimholders or the ABL Claimholders, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Each Collateral Agent is hereby authorized by the other Collateral Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders or ABL Claimholders, as the case may be. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations have occurred.

(a) Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the ABL Credit Documents, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders agrees, that (i) in accordance with, and to the extent provided by, the terms of the applicable ABL Credit Documents, the ABL Collateral Agent shall

have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such Collateral; (ii) in accordance with the terms of the applicable ABL Credit Documents, all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of such ABL Priority Collateral and to the extent required by the ABL Credit Documents shall be paid to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the ABL Credit Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no ABL Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Fixed Asset Documents, to the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents for the benefit of the Fixed Asset Claimholders to the extent required under the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents and then, to the extent no Fixed Asset Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and (iii) if any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.

(c) To effectuate the foregoing, the Collateral Agents shall each receive separate lender’s loss payable endorsements naming themselves as loss payee and additional insured, as their interests may appear, with respect to policies which insure Collateral hereunder. To the extent any Proceeds are received for business interruption or for any liability or indemnification and those Proceeds are not compensation for a casualty loss with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, such Proceeds shall first be applied to repay the ABL Obligations (to the extent required pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement) and then be applied, to the extent required by the Fixed Asset Documents, to the Fixed Asset Obligations.

(c) On or after any Refinancing, and the receipt of notice thereof, which notice shall include the identity of a new or replacement Collateral Agent or other agent serving the same or similar function, each existing Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such new or replacement Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to such new or replacement Collateral Agent the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The ABL Collateral Agent and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall each use good faith efforts to notify the other parties hereto of any written amendment or modification to any ABL Loan Document or any Fixed Asset Document, as applicable, but the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party.

Section 5.04. Bailees for Perfection. (a) Each Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the ABL Claimholders or the Fixed Asset Claimholders, as the case may be, and as bailee for the other Collateral Agents (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Credit Documents and the Fixed Asset Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.04.

(b) No Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Collateral Agents, to any ABL Claimholder, or to any Fixed Asset Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.04. The duties or responsibilities of the respective Collateral Agents under this Section 5.04 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.04 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon an occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be, as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) No Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall have by reason of the ABL Credit Documents, the Fixed Asset Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Collateral Agent, or any ABL Claimholders or any Fixed Asset Claimholders.

(d) Upon the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be, the Collateral Agent under the debt facility which has been discharged shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements and without recourse or warranty, first, to the other Collateral Agent (for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent) to the extent the other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no ABL Obligations or Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be, remain outstanding (in

each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). Each Collateral Agent further agrees, to the extent that any ABL Obligations or Fixed Asset Obligations (other than applicable contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) remain outstanding, to take all other commercially reasonable action as shall be reasonably requested by the other Collateral Agent or the Company, at the sole cost and expense of the Credit Parties, to permit such other Collateral Agent to obtain, to the extent required by the applicable ABL Credit Documents or Fixed Asset Documents, for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders or Fixed Asset Claimholders, as applicable, a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other ABL Credit Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and Fixed Asset Claimholders did not exist and (ii) until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Fixed Asset Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, as if the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and ABL Claimholders did not exist. In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, unless a New Debt Notice in respect of new ABL Credit Documents shall have been delivered as provided in Section 5.05, the ABL Collateral Agent hereby agrees to deliver, at the cost and expense of the Credit Parties, to each bank and securities intermediary, if any, that is counterparty to a deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as applicable, written notice as contemplated in such deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as applicable, directing such bank or securities intermediary, as applicable, to comply with the instructions of the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, unless the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred (as certified to the ABL Collateral Agent by the Company), in which case, such deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement, as the case may be, shall be terminated in accordance with its terms.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(i) each of the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any ABL Collateral Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Priority Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest the ABL Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), such Collateral is delivered to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agents, or the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agents shall have been vested with such possession or (unless, pursuant to the UCC, control may be given concurrently to the ABL Collateral Agent and the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent) “control”, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.04;

(ii) each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any applicable Fixed Asset Collateral Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral to such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), such Collateral is delivered to the ABL Collateral Agent, or the ABL Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or “control”, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.04;

(iii) each of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any Fixed Asset Collateral Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Collateral to such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest such Fixed Asset Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Initial Fixed Asset Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made), such Collateral is delivered to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, or the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or “control”, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.04.

Section 5.05. When Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If in connection with the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, any Borrower either substantially concurrently or at any time thereafter (other than during the pendency of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) enters into any Refinancing of any ABL Obligation or Fixed Asset Obligation, as the case may be, which Refinancing is permitted by both the Fixed Asset Documents and the ABL Credit Documents, in each case, to the extent such documents will remain in effect following, or are in effect at the time of, such Refinancing, then such Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of such Discharge of ABL Obligations or Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations, as applicable) and, from and after the date on which the New Debt Notice is delivered to the appropriate Collateral Agents in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations or Fixed Asset 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 ABL Collateral Agent or applicable Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under such new ABL Credit Documents or new Fixed Asset Documents shall be the ABL Collateral Agent or a Fixed Asset Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Debt Notice”) stating that a Borrower has entered into new ABL Credit Documents or new Fixed Asset Documents (which notice shall include a complete copy of the relevant new documents and provide the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the other Collateral Agents shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such Borrower or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to any New Agent that is the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent at such time any Pledged Collateral (that is Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new Fixed Asset Documents or that is ABL Priority Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new ABL Credit Documents) held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the other Collateral Agents for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders or the Fixed Asset Claimholders, as the case may be, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new ABL Obligations under the new ABL Credit Documents or the new Fixed Asset Obligations under the new Fixed Asset Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the other Obligations, then, unless and to the extent such Collateral is not required to be granted under the applicable Additional Fixed Asset Documents, the other Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Credit Documents, the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

Section 5.06. Additional Fixed Asset Debt. The Company and the other applicable Grantors will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Fixed Asset Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes or who is to become, the registered holder of any Additional Fixed Asset Debt incurred by the Company or such Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Additional Fixed Asset Documents and the ABL Credit Documents. Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Additional Fixed Asset Debt:

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the ABL Collateral Agent an officers’ certificate stating that the Company or such Grantor intends to enter into an Additional Fixed Asset Instrument and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of Additional Fixed Asset Debt under such Additional Fixed Asset Instrument is permitted by the ABL Credit Documents and each applicable Additional Fixed Asset Documents;

(b) the administrative agent or trustee and collateral agent for such Additional Fixed Asset Debt shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agents a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Fixed Asset Collateral Agent hereunder, the Additional Fixed Asset Debt in respect of which such Person is a Fixed Asset Collateral Agent constitutes Fixed Asset Obligations and the related Additional Fixed Asset Claimholders become subject hereto and bound hereby as Fixed Asset Claimholders;

(c) the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents in respect of such Additional Fixed Asset Debt shall be subject to, and shall comply with, Sections 2.03 and 2.04 of this Agreement; and

(d) each existing Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or the Additional Fixed Asset Collateral Agent for such Additional Fixed Asset Debt may reasonably request (at the Grantors’ sole expense) in order to provide to them the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable Credit Document.

ARTICLE 6

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS.

Section 6.01. Finance Issues. (a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (used in this Article 6 as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral on which the ABL Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the ABL Claimholders or any other Person, that is secured by ABL Priority Collateral under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing meet the following requirements: (i) the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, and (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing (A) do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document, (B) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order, and (C) do not require that any Lien of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents on the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral be subordinated to or pari passu with the Lien on the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing. To the extent the Liens securing the ABL Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority 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 ABL Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.03.

(b) Until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Claimholders shall not be supporting any DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral as contemplated by clause (a) of this Section 6.01, then if any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or Fixed Asset Claimholders desire to permit any Grantor to obtain DIP Financing secured by Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such DIP Financing so long as such DIP Financing meet the following requirements: (i) the ABL Collateral Agent and the Fixed Asset Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the ABL Priority Collateral, and (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing (A) do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document, (B) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order, and (C) such DIP Financing is not secured by any ABL Priority Collateral. To the extent the Liens securing the Fixed Asset Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the ABL Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Fixed Asset Priority 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 Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.03).

Section 6.02. Relief from the Automatic Stay. (a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall 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 ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.03 has been denied by the bankruptcy court.

(b) Until the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall 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 Fixed Asset Priority Collateral (other than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Section 3.03), without the prior written consent of the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.03 has been denied by the bankruptcy court.

Section 6.03. Adequate Protection. (a) Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(i) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that (A) such adequate protection claim shall not seek the creation of any Lien over additional assets or property of any Grantor other than with respect to assets or property that constitute ABL Priority Collateral and (B) if such additional assets or property shall also constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, (1) a Lien shall have been created in favor of the Fixed Asset Claimholders in respect of such Collateral and (2) the Lien in favor of the ABL Claimholders shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in this Agreement; or

(ii) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection; provided that if the ABL Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral of any Grantor, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and the Fixed Asset Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of Lien on such additional collateral; it being understood and agreed that (A) if such additional collateral shall also constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent shall be subordinate to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents and (B) if such additional collateral shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent shall be senior to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (A), to the extent required by this Agreement.

(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(i) any request by the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent for adequate protection with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral; provided that (A) such adequate protection claim shall not seek the creation of any Lien over additional assets or property of any Grantor other than with respect to assets or property that constitute Fixed Asset Collateral and (B) if such additional assets or property shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral, (1) a Lien shall have been created in favor of the ABL Claimholders in respect of such Collateral and (2) the Lien in favor of the Fixed Asset Claimholders shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in this Agreement; or

(ii) any objection by the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent claiming a lack of adequate protection; provided that if the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral of any Grantor, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of Lien on such additional collateral; it being understood and agreed that (A) if such additional collateral shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral

in favor of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents shall be subordinate to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent and (B) if such additional collateral shall also constitute Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents shall be senior to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (A), to the extent required by this Agreement.

(i) if the ABL Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Fixed Asset Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents on ABL Priority Collateral;

(ii) if the Fixed Asset Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Fixed Asset Priority Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Fixed Asset Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent on Fixed Asset Priority Collateral;

(iii) in the event the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of ABL Priority Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral), then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents may also be granted a Lien on the same additional collateral as security for the Fixed Asset Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Fixed Asset Claimholders, and each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Fixed Asset Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations, any such use of Cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing provided by the Fixed Asset Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Fixed Asset Claimholders as adequate protection, all on the same basis as the other Liens of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(iv) in the event any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Fixed Asset Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Fixed Asset Priority Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral of the Credit Parties (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Fixed Asset Priority Collateral), then each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Fixed Asset Claimholders, agrees that the ABL Collateral Agent may also be granted a Lien on the same additional collateral as security for the ABL Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the ABL Claimholders, and the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the ABL Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Fixed Asset Obligations, any such use of Cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing provided by the ABL Claimholders (and all Obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the ABL Claimholders as adequate protection, all on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent on Fixed Asset Priority Collateral.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Article 6 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to (i) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents or the Fixed Asset Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) or (ii) the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

Section 6.04. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Claimholder or Fixed Asset Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholders or Fixed Asset Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be, with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

Section 6.05. Post-Petition Interest. (a) No Fixed Asset Collateral Agent nor any Fixed Asset Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any ABL Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Fixed Asset Collateral Agent on behalf of the Fixed Asset Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b) Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or any Fixed Asset Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Fixed Asset Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any Fixed Asset Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders on the Collateral.

Section 6.06. Waiver – 1111(b)(2) Issues. (a) Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any ABL Claimholder arising out of the election of any ABL Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Fixed Asset Claimholder arising out of the election of any Fixed Asset Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Fixed Asset Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Section 6.07. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. (a) Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, and the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Fixed Asset Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Fixed Asset Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, each for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, and the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, each agrees that the Fixed Asset Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders will vote as separate classes in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and that no Collateral Agent nor any Claimholder will seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.07, if it is held that the claims of the Fixed Asset Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders and the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to 2.01 and 4.01, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Fixed Asset Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the ABL Claimholders), the Fixed Asset Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Fixed Asset 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 ABL Claimholders, with the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Non-Controlling Fixed Asset Collateral Agent and the Fixed Asset Claimholders, amounts 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 ABL Claimholders).

(c) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.07, if it is held that the claims of the Fixed Asset Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders in respect of the ABL Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders and the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.01 and 4.01, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the ABL Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Fixed Asset Claimholders), the ABL Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, 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 Fixed Asset Claimholders, with each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Fixed Asset Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, amounts 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 Fixed Asset Claimholders).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent and the Fixed Asset Claimholders, on the one hand, and the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Claimholders, on the other hand, shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.

Section 6.08. Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of Claimholders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.01) are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 6.09. Sales. Subject to Sections 3.01(c)(v) and 3.02(c)(v) and 3.03, each Collateral Agent agrees that it will consent, and will not object or oppose, or support any party in opposing, a motion to dispose of any Priority Collateral of the other party free and clear of any Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite ABL Claimholders under the ABL Credit Agreement or Fixed Asset Claimholders under the applicable Fixed Asset Documents, as the case may be, have consented to such disposition of their respective Priority Collateral, such motion does not impair, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement, the rights of such party under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (so long as the right of any Fixed Asset Claimholder to offset its claim against the purchase price for any ABL Priority Collateral exists only after the ABL Obligations have been paid in full in cash, and so long as the right of any ABL Claimholder to offset its claim against the purchase price for any Fixed Asset Priority Collateral exists only after the Fixed Asset Obligations have been paid in full in cash), and the terms of any proposed order approving such transaction provide for the respective Liens to attach to the proceeds of the Priority Collateral that is the subject of such disposition, subject to the Lien priorities in Section 2.01 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Fixed Asset Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent further agrees that it will not oppose, or support any party in opposing, the right of the other party to credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the provision of the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 8

MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 8.01. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Credit Document or any Fixed Asset Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

Section 8.02. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the ABL Claimholders and Fixed Asset Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any Collateral Agent, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon. Each of the Collateral Agents, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders or the Fixed Asset Claimholders, as the case may be, hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall

survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each Collateral Agent, on behalf of the applicable Claimholders, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(a) with respect to the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations has occurred, on the date the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders under Section 6.04; and

(b) with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents, the Fixed Asset Claimholders and the Fixed Asset Obligations, on the date the Discharge of Fixed Asset Obligations has occurred, subject to the rights of the Fixed Asset Claimholders under Section 6.04;

provided that, subject to Section 5.05, if a Refinancing of any ABL Obligations or Fixed Asset Obligations, as the case may be, is entered into following such termination, (i) in the case of a Refinancing of any Fixed Asset Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, and (ii) in the case of a Refinancing of any ABL Obligations, the Fixed Asset Collateral Agents on behalf of the Fixed Asset Claimholders and the Fixed Asset Obligations, agree to, upon the request of any Grantor, restore this Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Section 8.03. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any Fixed Asset Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent that such amendment, modification or waiver (i) adversely affects or impairs its rights hereunder, under the Fixed Asset Documents or under the ABL Credit Documents or (ii) imposes any additional obligation or liability upon it (which, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), shall include any amendment, modification or waiver of Section 4.01(c), 5.01(b), 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.05, 5.06, 8.02, 8.03, 8.08 and 8.16).
