whatsoever. Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other
Banks may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy the Banks may have
against Borrower or any security held by Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Banks, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose upon any such
security by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every
aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or
impairing in any way the obligations of NL Companies hereunder, except to the
extent the Bank Loan Obligations have been paid, and NL Companies waives any
defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement, contribution or subrogation or any other right or remedy against
Borrower or any such security, whether resulting from such election by
Administrative Agent or otherwise. NL Companies waives any defense
arising by reason of any disability or other defense of Borrower or by reason of

intervention or omission by Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the
other Banks) of the liability, either in whole or in part, of Borrower to the
Banks for the Bank Loan Obligations.
(b) NL

condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets and operations of Borrower,
Prudential, the PRISA II Account, the condition of the Property and all other
circumstances that might in any way affect NL Companies' risk under this
Agreement and/or the Multi-Party Agreement (including, without limitation, the
risk of nonpayment of the NL Loan Obligations, the Bank Loan Obligations and/or
the Loan Pay-off Capital Contribution or any sum due the Banks from Prudential
under the Bank Multi-Party Agreement), and neither Administrative Agent nor any
of the Banks shall have any duty or obligation whatsoever to obtain or disclose
to NL Companies any information or documents relative to such condition,
business, assets, or operations of Borrower, Prudential, the PRISA II Account or
such risk, whether acquired by Administrative Agent or any of the other Banks in
the course of its relationship with Borrower, Prudential, the PRISA II Account
or otherwise.
(c) NL
Companies acknowledges that neither Administrative Agent nor any other Bank has
made any warranties or representations to it with respect to the due execution,
legality, validity, completeness or enforceability of the Bank Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, the Multi-Party Agreement), the NL Loan
Documents or the collectability of the Secured Obligations evidenced thereby or
secured by the Mortgage and/or the Loan Pay-off Capital
Contribution.
(d) NL
Companies unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, upon
the occurrence of and during the continuance of any default or event of default

the validity or enforceability of the lien of the Mortgage, to foreclose the
Mortgage or other instruments securing the Bank Loan Obligations by judicial or
nonjudicial sale. NL Companies expressly, unconditionally and
irrevocably waives any defenses to the enforcement of this Agreement or any
liens created hereby, granted to or otherwise held by Administrative Agent on
behalf of itself and the other Banks, or to the recovery by Administrative Agent
on behalf of itself and the other Banks from Borrower or any other Person liable
therefor of any deficiency after a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale,
even though such a foreclosure or sale may impair the subrogation rights of NL
Companies and may preclude NL Companies from obtaining reimbursement or
contribution from Borrower or any other Person.
(e) NL
Companies hereby expressly, unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights
(a) under Sections 361 through 365, 502(e) and 509 of the Bankruptcy Code
(or any similar sections hereafter in effect under any other Federal or state
laws or legal or equitable principles relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganizations, liquidations or otherwise for the relief of debtors or
protection of creditors), and (b) to seek or obtain conversion to a
different type of proceeding or to seek or obtain dismissal of a proceeding, in
each case in relation to a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other
proceeding under similar laws with respect to Borrower. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, NL Companies hereby expressly,
unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) the right to seek to provide
credit (secured or otherwise) to Borrower in any way under Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code unless the same is acceptable to Administrative Agent in its
sole and absolute discretion; (ii) the right to take a position
inconsistent with or contrary to that of Administrative Agent (including a
position by Administrative Agent to take no action) if Borrower seeks to use,
sell or lease the Property or any other collateral for the Secured Obligations
(or the proceeds or products thereof) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(iii) the right to receive any collateral security (including any "super
priority" or equal or "priming" or replacement lien) for any NL Loan Obligation
unless Administrative Agent has collateral security acceptable to Administrative
Agent in its sole and absolute discretion to secure all Bank Loan Obligations
(in the same collateral to the extent collateral is involved); and (iv) the
right to seek adequate protection in respect of Property (or the proceeds or
products thereof) under Section 363 or 361 of the Bankruptcy Code.
(f) If
any of the Bank Loan Obligations or any lien securing same, should be
invalidated, avoided or set aside, the subordination provided for herein
nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect and, as between
Administrative Agent and NL Companies, shall be and be deemed to remain in full
force and effect.
14. Continuing
Benefits. No right of either Administrative Agent or the Banks
or any present or future holder of the Bank Loan Obligations to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of Borrower or any other
party, whether borrower, guarantor or otherwise, or by any act or failure to act
in good faith, by the holder of the Bank Loan Obligations, or by any
noncompliance by Borrower or any borrower, guarantor or otherwise with the terms
of the Bank Notes or any other of the Bank Loan Documents regardless of any
knowledge thereof which such holder may have or be otherwise charged
with.
15. Power of
Attorney. NL Companies, by its execution of this Agreement,
agrees to grant to Administrative Agent a power of attorney and in furtherance
of the foregoing to execute the form of Power of Attorney attached hereto as
Exhibit

directs Administrative Agent to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate, in Administrative Agent's sole discretion, from time to time to
effectuate the terms of this Agreement and hereby appoints Administrative Agent
its attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including, without limitation, in the
event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, or reorganization of Borrower
(whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership proceedings or upon an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise) tending toward liquidation
of the business or the assets of Borrower, the immediate filing of a claim for
the unpaid balance of any of the NL Loan Obligations in the form required in
such proceedings, the voting of such claims during the pendency of such
proceedings, and the taking of all steps necessary to cause such claim to be
approved.
16. No Waiver;
Modification. Neither this Agreement nor the transactions
herein contemplated shall operate to waive the enforcement after the date hereof
of any due on sale provision, due on encumbrance provision, change-in-ownership
of Borrower provision, or any other accelerating transfer provision contained in
the Bank Loan Documents. No delay on the part of Administrative Agent
on behalf of itself and the other Banks in the exercise of any right or remedy
shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by
Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Banks of any right or
remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
right or remedy; nor shall any modification or waiver of any of the provisions
of this Agreement be binding upon Administrative Agent or the other Banks except
as expressly set forth in a writing duly signed and delivered by or on behalf of
Administrative Agent. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts.
17. Borrower’s
Waiver. Borrower hereby waives (a) notice of acceptance of
this Agreement by Administrative Agent and (b) all diligence in the collection
or protection of or realization upon the Bank Loan Obligations or the collateral
therefor.
