created or arising in favor of any Second Lien Secured Party securing the Second Lien Obligations,
regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise
are expressly junior in priority to any and all Liens now existing or hereafter created or arising
in favor of the
7
First Lien Secured Parties securing the First Lien Obligations, notwithstanding (i) anything
to the contrary contained in any agreement or filing to which any Second Lien Secured Party may now
or hereafter be a party, and regardless of the time, order or method of grant, attachment,
recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests, assignments,
pledges, deeds, mortgages and other liens, charges or encumbrances or any defect or deficiency or
alleged defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing, (ii) any provision of the UCC or the PPSA or
any applicable law or any First Lien Collateral Document or Second Lien Collateral Document or any
other circumstance whatsoever and (iii) the fact that any such Liens in favor of any First Lien
Secured Party securing any of the First Lien Obligations are (x) subordinated to any Lien securing
any obligation of any Grantor other than the Second Lien Obligations or (y) otherwise subordinated,
voided, avoided, invalidated or lapsed. The subordination of the Liens of the Second Lien Secured
Parties in and to the Collateral in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties provided for herein
shall not be deemed to (a) subordinate the Liens of the Second Lien Secured Parties to the Liens of
any other Person (including, solely with respect to any portion of the First Lien Obligations in
excess of the First Lien Cap, the First Lien Secured Parties), or (b) subordinate the Second Lien
Obligations to any other Indebtedness of the Company or any other Grantor, including the First Lien
Obligations.
(b) Each of the First Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of each First
Lien Secured Party, and the Second Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second
Lien Secured Party, agrees that it shall not object to or contest, or support any other Person in
contesting or objecting to, in any proceeding (including without limitation, any Insolvency
Proceeding with respect to any Grantor), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or
enforceability of any Lien in the Collateral granted to the other; provided that this Section
2.01(b) shall not be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any First Lien Secured Party or
Second Lien Secured Party to enforce this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions of
this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations and the
Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as set forth in Section 2.01(a) and the exercise of
remedies as provided in Section 3.01. Notwithstanding any failure by any First Lien Secured Party
or Second Lien Secured Party to perfect its security interests in the Collateral or any avoidance,
invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security
interests in the Collateral granted to the First Lien Secured Parties or the Second Lien Secured
Parties, the priority and rights as between the First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien
Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth herein.
SECTION
2.02. Nature of First Lien Obligations. The Second Lien Representative on
behalf of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties acknowledges that all or a portion of the
First Lien Obligations may be revolving in nature and that the amount thereof that may be
outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently
reborrowed, and that the terms of the First Lien Obligations may be modified, extended or amended
from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the First Lien Obligations may be increased,
replaced or refinanced (including replacement or refinancing of such increased amounts and
including under the same or different documents and with the same or different agents, lenders
and/or representatives, and regardless of whether there is an intervening period of time in
between, all of which shall be deemed to be the Credit Agreement wherever such term is used
herein), in each event, without notice to or consent by the Second Lien Secured Parties and without
affecting the provisions hereof. The lien priorities provided in Section 2.01 shall not be altered
or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment,
reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of either the First Lien
Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, or any portion thereof.
SECTION
2.03. Agreements Regarding Actions to Perfect Liens. (a) The Second Lien Representative on behalf of itself and
the Second Lien Secured Parties agrees that all mortgages and other real estate instruments (if
any), UCC-1 financing statements, patent, trademark or copyright filings or
8
other filings or recordings filed or recorded by or on behalf of the Second Lien
Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party shall be substantially identical in all material
respects to the corresponding First Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise in form reasonably
satisfactory to the First Lien Representative.
(b) The First Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Secured Parties,
hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf,
physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the UCC) over Collateral pursuant to any of the
First Lien Collateral Documents, such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Second
Lien Representative and the other Second Lien Secured Parties solely to the extent required to
perfect their security interest in such Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be
construed to impose any duty on any First Lien Secured Party (or any third party acting on its
behalf) with respect to such Collateral or provide the Second Lien Representative or any other
Second Lien Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Collateral beyond those specified in
this Agreement and the Second Lien Collateral Documents, provided that upon the Payment in Full of
the First Lien Obligations, the applicable First Lien Secured Party shall (i) deliver to the Second
Lien Representative, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, the Collateral in its possession or
control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by the Second Lien
Collateral Documents or (ii) direct and deliver such Collateral as a court of competent
jurisdiction otherwise directs, and provided further that the provisions of this Agreement are
intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Lien Secured Parties
and the Second Lien Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Lien Secured Parties any
obligations in respect of the disposition of any Collateral (or any proceeds thereof) that would
conflict with prior perfected Liens or any claims thereon in favor of any other Person that is not
a First Lien Secured Party or a Second Lien Secured Party.
SECTION 2.04. No New Liens. So long as the First Lien Obligations have not been Paid
in Full, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or
any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that neither the Company nor any other Grantor shall,
nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset
or property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a
Lien on such asset or property to secure the First Lien Obligations. To the extent that the
foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and
remedies available to the First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured Party, the Second
Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees 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 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.01.

ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS
ENFORCEMENT RIGHTS
SECTION 3.01. Exclusive Enforcement. So long as the First Lien Obligations have not
been Paid in Full, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any
Grantor, the First Lien Representative shall (subject to clause (a) below) have the exclusive right
to take and continue, or not to take, any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral,
without any consultation with or consent of any Second Lien Secured Party, but subject to the
proviso set forth in Section 5.01, and (a) from the date hereof until the occurrence of the Second
Lien Enforcement Date (such period, the “Standstill Period”), neither the Second Lien
Representative nor any Second Lien Secured Party shall exercise or seek to exercise any rights or
remedies (including any right of set-off or recoupment) with respect to any Second Lien Collateral
(including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement,
account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or
arrangement to which the Second Lien Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party may be a
party) or institute or commence (or join with any other Person in commencing) any
9

collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any
Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor) with respect to any Lien held by it under the
Second Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (b) neither the
Second Lien Representative nor any Second Lien Secured Party shall (i) contest, protest or object
to, or otherwise interfere with, hinder or delay, any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by
the First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured Party, any rights and remedies relating to
the Collateral under the First Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise in respect of the Collateral,
provided that the respective interests of the Second Lien Secured Parties attach to the proceeds
thereof, subject to the relative priorities described in Section 4.01 hereof, or (ii) contest,
protest or object to the forbearance by the First Lien Representative or the First Lien Secured
Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any
rights or remedies relating to any Collateral. The Second Lien Representative and each Second Lien
Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained
in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or in the Second Lien Indenture or otherwise shall be
deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Representative or the First
Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First
Lien Collateral Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event
of default in respect of a First Lien Obligation permitting the First Lien Representative to take
any Enforcement Action under any First Lien Collateral Document, the First Lien Representative may
take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the First Lien Obligations and the
Collateral exclusively and in such order and manner as it may determine in its sole discretion.
SECTION 3.02. Second Lien Enforcement Limitations and Waivers. The Second Lien
Representative and each Second Lien Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant,
agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or in the Second Lien
Indenture or otherwise shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First
Lien Representative or the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth
in this Agreement and the First Lien Collateral Documents. In addition, the Second Lien
Representative and each Second Lien Secured Party agrees that, until the First Lien Obligations
have been Paid in Full, subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.01 and as may otherwise be
expressly provided for in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.01):
(a) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which
is to make any Lien in respect of any Second Lien Obligation pari passu with or senior to,
or to give any Second Lien Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, the Liens
with respect to the First Lien Obligations or the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to
any of the Collateral;
(b) they will not oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner,
whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency
Proceeding with respect to any Grantor) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease,
exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by the First Lien Representative
or any other First Lien Secured Party, or any other Enforcement Action taken by or on behalf
of the First Lien Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party;
(c) they have no right to (i) direct either the First Lien Representative or any other
First Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the
Collateral or pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents or (ii) consent or object to
the exercise by the First Lien Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or
power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents or
to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the
extent they may have
10
any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a junior lien
creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right);
(d) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit,
Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against either the First Lien
Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by
way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and neither the
First Lien Representative nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall be liable for, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Lien Representative or any other First Lien
Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the First Lien Collateral
Documents;
(e) they will not make any judicial or nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any
judicial or non-judicial proceedings against any Grantor or affiliates under or with respect
to any Second Lien Collateral Document seeking payment or damages from or other relief by
way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise under or with respect to any Second
Lien Collateral Document or exercise any right, remedy or power under or with respect to, or
otherwise take any action to enforce, other than filing a proof of claim, any Second Lien
Collateral Document;
(f) they will not commence judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect
to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over,
attempt any action to take possession of any Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power
with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce their interest in or realize upon,
the Collateral or pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents; and
(g) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Collateral or any part
thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Collateral.
SECTION 3.03. Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Second Lien Secured Party
becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its
rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement
for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing
the Second Lien Obligations (created pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents) subject to
this Agreement.
SECTION 3.04. Cooperation. At such time when the First Lien Obligations have been
Paid in Full, the First Lien Representative further agrees to promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all other actions necessary, or that the Second Lien
Representative may reasonably request, at the expense of the Grantors, to subordinate the Liens of
the First Lien Representative in the Collateral to the Liens of the Second Lien Representative in
the Collateral or to otherwise evidence the termination of the lien priority set forth in Section
2.01, or in furtherance thereof.
SECTION 3.05. Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of the First Lien Secured Parties’ remedies, the First
Lien Secured Parties agree that at any time during the 30-day period following (a) acceleration of
the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (b) the
commencement of an Enforcement Action by the First Lien Secured Parties or (c) the commencement of
an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor (each, a “Purchase Event”), one or
more of the Second Lien Secured Parties may request, and the First Lien Secured Parties hereby
offer the Second Lien Secured Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
aggregate amount of First Lien Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par, without
warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be
made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Acceptance (as such term is defined in the
Credit Agreement)). If such right is
11
exercised within the aforementioned 30-day period, the
parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days
of the request. If one or more of the Second Lien Secured Parties exercise such purchase right, it
shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien
Representative and the Second Lien Representative. If none of the Second Lien Secured Parties
exercise such right, the First Lien Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to
this Section 3.05 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion
in accordance with the First Lien Documents, and this Agreement.
SECTION 3.06. No Additional Rights for any Grantor Hereunder. Except as provided in
Section 3.07, if any First Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party shall enforce its rights
or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Grantor shall be entitled to use such
violation as a defense to any action by any First Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party,
nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any First
Lien Secured Party or Second Lien Secured Party.
SECTION 3.07. Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Second Lien Secured Party, contrary
to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against the Collateral,
such Grantor may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any
First Lien Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or
in the name of such Grantor.
(b) Should any Second Lien Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt
to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation,
any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take
any action required by this Agreement, the First Lien Representative or any First Lien Secured
Party (in its or their own name or in the name of any Grantor) or any Grantor may obtain relief
against such Second Lien Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate
equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien Representative on behalf of
each Second Lien Secured Party that (i) the First Lien Secured Parties’ damages from its actions
may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Lien
Secured Party waives any defense that any Grantor and/or the First Lien Secured Parties cannot
demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

the First Lien Representative for application to the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the

Full, second, to the Second Lien

Collateral Documents and third, to the Company or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled to

constituting proceeds, that may be received by any Second Lien Secured Party in violation of this
Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Lien
Representative, for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties, in the same form as received,
with any necessary endorsements, and each Second Lien Secured Party hereby authorizes the First
Lien Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Secured Parties
(which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Second Lien Secured Party shall be obligated to return funds received in accordance
with this Section 4.01(b) in respect of any claim by a First Lien Secured Party pursuant to clause
(a)(ii) of the definition of “Payment in Full” to the extent such funds were received prior to the
making of such claim.
SECTION 4.02. Releases of Second-Priority Lien. (a) If in connection with the
exercise of the First Lien Representative’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral
resulting from the occurrence of an event of default under the First Lien Documents, the First Lien
Representative, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured Parties, releases any of
its Liens on any part of the Collateral or, in connection with a disposition of any Grantor
pursuant to any such exercise of rights and remedies, releases any such Grantor from its
obligations under its guarantee of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the
Second Lien Representative, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, on
such Collateral, and the obligations of such Grantor under its guarantee of the Second Lien
Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released.
(b) If in connection with any release, sale or other disposition of any Collateral permitted
under the terms of the First Lien Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the
First Lien Representative’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral under the First Lien
Documents), the First Lien Representative, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Secured
Parties, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Grantor from its
obligations under its guarantee of the First Lien Obligations, in each case other than in
connection with the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the
Second Lien Representative, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, on
such Collateral, or the obligations of such Grantor under its guarantee of the Second Lien
Obligations, as the case may be, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously
released (provided that such release of Liens in favor of the Second Lien Representative or
guarantee in respect of the Second Lien Obligations is permitted under the Second Lien Documents).
(c) Until the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Representative,
for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the First Lien Representative and any officer or agent of the First Lien Representative,
with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable
power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Representative or such holder or in
the First Lien Representative’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Representative’s
discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.02, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to
accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.02, including any endorsements or other instruments of
transfer or release.
(d) The Second Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Secured
Parties, shall promptly execute and deliver such release documents and instruments and shall take
such further actions as the First Lien Representative shall request to evidence any release of the
second-priority Lien described in this Section 4.02.

SECTION 4.03. Dealing With Collateral; Insurance. (a) In connection with the
exercise of the First Lien Representative’s rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral, the
First Lien Representative and its representatives and invitees may at any time repossess, remove
and otherwise deal with the Collateral, and the First Lien Representative may advertise and conduct
public auctions or private sales of the Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement
of or interference by the Second Lien Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party or liability
to the Second Lien Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party.
(b) Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, (i) the First Lien Representative
will have the sole and exclusive right (vis a vis the Second Lien Representative) (a) to adjust or
settle any insurance policy or claim covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder
and (b) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the
Collateral and (ii) any provisions of any Second Lien Collateral Document that requires any Grantor
to list any Second Lien Secured Party as additional insured or loss payee under any insurance
policy maintained from time to time by the Grantors may be satisfied by listing the First Lien
Representative as additional insured or loss payee for the benefit of all of the First Lien Secured
Parties and all of the Second Lien Secured Parties.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
SECTION 5.01. Filing of Motions. Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in
Full, the Second Lien Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Secured
Parties that neither the Second Lien Representative nor any Second Lien Secured Party shall, in or
in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, file any pleadings or
motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action
whatsoever, in each case in respect of any of the Collateral, including, without limitation, with
respect to the determination of any Liens or claims held by the First Lien Representative
(including the validity and enforceability thereof) or any other First Lien Secured Party or the
value of any claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise;
provided that the Second Lien Representative may (i) file a claim or statement of interest in an
Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, (ii) 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 Second Lien Secured
Parties,
including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, or otherwise make any agreements or
file any motions or objections pertaining to the claims of the Second Lien Secured Parties, in each
case in accordance with and not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement in order to create,
perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral, (iii) file any pleadings, objections,
motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the
Grantors arising under either any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor or applicable
non-Bankruptcy Law and not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (iv) make a bid on all or
any portion of the Collateral in any foreclosure proceeding or action, including, for the avoidance
of doubt and without limitation, any sale pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, which bid
shall include a cash portion at least equal to the First Lien Obligations and (v) take such other
actions which are not adverse to the Liens and interests of the First Lien Secured Parties or
otherwise inconsistent with the priorities of this Agreement (including as to releases and
including under Section 3.01) to preserve and protect its second priority Lien on the Collateral,
in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), subject to the limitations
contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and the limitations on the Second
Lien Representative imposed hereby.
SECTION 5.02. Financing Matters. Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in
Full, if any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the First Lien
Representative or
14
one or more of the other First Lien Secured Parties desire to consent to the use
of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Grantor under the
Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), then the Second Lien Representative agrees, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, that the Second Lien Representative and each
Second Lien Secured Party (a) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor
support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing,
(b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use
of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 5.04 below, (c) will
subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the second-priority Liens (i) to
such DIP Financing on the same terms as the first-priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such
subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate
protection provided to the First Lien Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” for fees to the
agent and any arranger in respect of such DIP Financing agreed to by the First Lien Representative
and (d) agrees that notice received five calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving
such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice; provided that
(i) the aggregate principal amount of any DIP Financing, when taken together with any First Lien
Obligations that are not repaid with such DIP Financing, shall not exceed an amount equal to the
sum of (X) the First Lien Cap plus (Y) $100,000,000, (ii) the Liens on the collateral
securing the DIP Financing are senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the First Lien
Obligations and (iii) the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Lien Secured Parties from (A)
proposing any other DIP Financing to any Grantor or to a court of competent jurisdiction or (B)
objecting to (1) any aspect of a DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of
reorganization or any sub xxxx plan or (2) any DIP Financing if the Second Lien Secured Parties do
not receive replacement Liens on all post-petition assets of any Grantors in which any of the First
Lien Secured Parties obtain a replacement Lien (to the extent that such assets constitute
Collateral), in each case with the same priority as existed prior to such Insolvency Proceeding.
SECTION 5.03. Relief From the Automatic Stay. The Second Lien Representative agrees,
on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief
from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any
Grantor or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Collateral,
without the prior written consent of the First Lien Representative.
SECTION 5.04. Adequate Protection. The Second Lien Representative, on behalf of
itself and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object, contest or
support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (a) any request by the First Lien
Representative or the First Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by the
First Lien Representative or any other First Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or
proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees,
expenses or other amounts to the First Lien Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party
under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section 5.04 and in Section 5.02, in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to
any Grantor, (i) if the First Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP
Financing or use of cash collateral, and the First Lien Secured Parties do not object to the
adequate protection being provided to them, then the Second Lien Representative, on behalf of
itself and any of the Second Lien Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection solely in
the form of (x) a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens
securing the First Lien Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens
securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this
Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted
to the First Lien Secured Parties, and (ii) in the event the Second Lien Representative, on behalf
of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection and such
adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Lien
Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Secured
15
Parties, agrees that the
First Lien Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as
security for the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such
additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on
such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations
relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Lien Secured Parties as adequate
protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are
subordinated to such First Lien Obligations under this Agreement.
SECTION 5.05. Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Secured Party is required in any
Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise
pay to the estate of any Grantor, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or
disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or
preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security,
enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the First Lien Obligations shall be
reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not
occurred and the First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have been Paid in Full. 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. The Second Lien Representative and the
Second Lien Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance
action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with
this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit
of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead by allocated and turned over for
application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.
SECTION 5.06. Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding, etc. None of the Second Lien Representative nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall oppose
any sale or disposition of any assets of any Grantor conducted in accordance with Section 363 of
the Bankruptcy Code that is supported by the First Lien Secured Parties, and the Second Lien
Representative and each other Second Lien Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any sale supported by the First Lien Secured Parties and to
have released their Liens in such assets (so long as the Liens of the Second Lien Secured Parties
attach to the proceeds of any such sale (with such Liens on such proceeds subject to the terms of
this Agreement)).
SECTION 5.07. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second
Lien Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien
Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct
grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral,
the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be
separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding
with respect to any Grantor. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims against the First Lien Secured
Parties and Second Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured
claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Lien
Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were
separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against any Grantor in respect of the
Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is
sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Secured Parties), the
First Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them
in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of
Post-Petition Interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second
Lien Secured Parties, with the Second Lien Representative and the Second Lien Secured Parties
hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Secured Parties amounts otherwise
received or receivable by them
16
to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence,
even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Secured
Parties).
SECTION 5.08. No Waivers of Rights of First Lien Secured Parties. Except with
respect to requests for post-petition interest, fees and expenses by the Second Lien Representative
or any Second Lien Secured Party as described in Section 5.11(b), nothing contained herein shall
prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Representative or any other First Lien Secured Party
from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor or otherwise to any action
taken by the Second Lien Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party, including the seeking by
any Second Lien Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Lien Secured
Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Collateral Documents or otherwise.
SECTION 5.09. Plans of Reorganization. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any
Second Lien Secured Party from exercising its rights to vote in favor of or against a plan of
reorganization in respect of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor.
SECTION 5.10. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding with
respect to any Grantor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any
property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar
dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien
Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt
obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien
Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will
survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like
effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
SECTION 5.11. Post-Petition Claims. (a) Neither the Second Lien Representative nor
any other Second Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien
Representative or any First Lien Secured Party for Post-Petition Interest, fees, costs, charges or
expenses to the extent of the value of the First Lien Representative’s Lien held for the benefit of
the First Lien Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien
Representative on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties on the Collateral.
(b) Neither the First Lien Representative nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall oppose
or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Representative or any Second Lien Secured Party
for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Grantor of Second Lien Obligations
consisting of Post-Petition Interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value

the Second Lien Secured Parties, waives any claim it or they may hereafter have against the First

amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, new First
Lien Documents may be entered into, and the Credit Agreement may be refinanced, replaced or
refunded, with the same or different lenders or representatives in a Permitted Refinancing and
whether or not with an intervening period of time in between, in each case without the consent of
the Second Lien Representative or the Second Lien Secured Parties; provided, however, that (i) in
connection with any Permitted Refinancing, the holders of any such Permitted Refinancing debt (or
the agent or other representative of such holders on behalf of such holders) agree in a writing
addressed to the Second Lien Representative to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a First
Lien Secured Party and (if applicable) the First Lien Representative hereunder and (ii) any such
amendment, supplement or modification, or entry into any such new First Lien Document, shall not be
permitted without the consent of the Second Lien Representative to the extent that any such
amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification, or the terms of any such new First Lien
Document, would (A) except in connection with any Permitted Refinancing, increase the “Applicable
Margin” or similar component of the interest rate by more than 6% per annum (excluding increases
resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate) or (B) be prohibited by, or would
require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms

Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, new
Second Lien Documents may be entered into, and the Second Lien Indenture may be refinanced,
replaced or refunded, with the same or different lenders or representatives in a Permitted
Refinancing, in each case without the consent of the First Lien Representative or the First Lien
Secured Parties; provided, however, that (i) in connection with any Permitted Refinancing, the
holders of any such Permitted Refinancing debt (or the agent or other representative of such
holders on behalf of such holders) agree in a writing addressed to the First Lien Representative to
be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Second Lien Secured Party and (if applicable) the
Second Lien Representative hereunder and (ii) any such amendment, supplement or modification, or
entry into any such new Second Lien Document, shall not be permitted without the consent of the
First Lien Representative to the extent that any such amendment, supplement or other modification,
or the terms of any such new Second Lien Document, would (A) except in connection with any
Permitted Refinancing, increase the “Applicable Margin” or similar component of the interest rate
by more than 6% per annum (excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the
default rate) or (B) be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting
in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.
(c) The Second Lien Representative, on behalf of the Second Lien Secured Parties, agrees that
each Second Lien Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar
effect as shall be reasonable satisfactory for the First Lien Representative):
18
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interest granted to
the Second Lien Representative, for the benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, pursuant to
this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Representative, for the
benefit of the Second Lien Secured Parties, hereunder are subject to the provisions of that certain
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from
time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citicorp USA, Inc. as First Lien
Representative, The Bank of New York Mellon, as Second Lien Representative, Xxxxxxx Kodak Company,
the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company party thereto and such other parties as may be
added thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”
SECTION 6.02. When Payment in Full of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have
Occurred. If, at any time after the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations, the Company
thereafter enters into any First Lien Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which is a
Permitted Refinancing permitted by the Second Lien Documents, then such Payment in Full of the
First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this
Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such
Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First
Lien Obligations Notice (as defined below) is delivered to the Second Lien Representative in
accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Permitted Refinancing of such First
Lien Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this
Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set
forth herein, and the agent under such First Lien Documents shall be the First Lien Representative
for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Company (the “New First
Lien Obligations Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Document
(which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien agent, such agent, the “New
First Lien Representative”), the Second Lien Representative shall promptly, at the expense of
the Company, (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to
this Agreement) as the Company or such New First Lien Representative shall reasonably request in
order to provide to the New First Lien Representative the rights contemplated hereby, in each case
consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) deliver to the New
First Lien Representative any pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary
endorsements (or otherwise allow the New First Lien Representative to obtain control of such
pledged Collateral). The New First Lien Representative shall agree in a writing addressed to the
Second Lien Representative for the benefit of itself and the Second Lien Secured Parties to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien
Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the
Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second
priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents
and this Agreement.
