Section 3. Enforcement.

3.1. Exercise of Remedies.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, (i) no Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party will (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of any applicable Second-Priority Claims, institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Common Collateral by the Intercreditor Agent or any Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Lender Claims, the exercise of any right by the Intercreditor Agent or any Senior Lender (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Lender Claims under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party, of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral under the Senior Lender Documents or otherwise in respect of Senior Lender Claims, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Lenders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral in respect of Senior Lender Claims and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the Intercreditor Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, each Second-Priority Agent may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the applicable Second-Priority Claims and (B) each Second-Priority Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims, or the rights of the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, prove, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, and perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Common Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral, the Intercreditor Agent and the Senior Lenders may enforce the provisions of the Senior Lender Documents and exercise

remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will not, in the context of its role as secured creditor, take or receive any Common Collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Second-Priority Claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), the sole right of the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Second-Priority Claims pursuant to the Second-Priority Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred.

(c) Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), (i) each Second-Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that no Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders with respect to the Common Collateral under the Senior Loan Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second-Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Second-Priority Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders seek to enforce or collect the Senior Lender Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Senior Lender Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Intercreditor Agent or Senior Lenders is adverse to the interests of the Second-Priority Secured Parties.

(d) Each Second-Priority Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Second-Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Lender Documents.

3.2. Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Lenders and the Intercreditor Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral under any of the applicable Second-Priority Documents or otherwise in respect of the applicable Second-Priority Claims.

Section 4. Payments.

4.1. Application of Proceeds. After an event of default under any First-Lien Indebtedness has occurred with respect to which the Intercreditor Agent has provided written notice to each Second-Priority Agent, and until such event of default is cured or waived, so long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, the Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies, shall be applied by the Intercreditor Agent to the Senior Lender Claims in such order as specified in the

relevant Senior Lender Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Intercreditor Agent shall deliver promptly to the Second-Priority Designated Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it 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 Second-Priority Designated Agent ratably to the Second-Priority Claims and, with respect to each class of Second-Priority Claims, in such order as specified in the relevant Second-Priority Documents.

4.2. Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Common Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the Intercreditor Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the applicable Senior Lenders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Intercreditor Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Second-Priority Agent or any such Second-Priority Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 5. Other Agreements.

5.1. Releases.

(a) If, at any time any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Lender Claim delivers notice to each Second-Priority Agent that any specified Common Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of:

(i) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under each Senior Debt Instrument, the Second-Lien Notes Indenture and each other Second-Priority Document (if any); or

(ii) during the existence of any Event of Default under (and as defined in) each Senior Debt Instrument to the extent the Intercreditor Agent has consented to such sale, transfer or disposition:

then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second-Priority Secured Parties upon such Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Collateral securing Senior Lender Claims are released and discharged. Upon delivery to each Second-Priority Agent of a notice from the Intercreditor Agent stating that any release of Liens securing or supporting the Senior Lender Claims has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Second-Priority Agent’s release), each Second-Priority Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms. In the case of the sale of all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, the guarantee in favor of the Second-Priority Secured Parties, if any, made by such Grantor or Subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, the guarantee by such Grantor or Subsidiary of Senior Lender Claims is released and discharged.

(b) Each Second-Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Intercreditor Agent and any officer or agent of the Intercreditor Agent, 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 each Second-Priority Agent or such holder or in the Intercreditor Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Intercreditor Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(c) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second-Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of Deposit Account Collateral or proceeds of Common Collateral to the repayment of Senior Lender Claims pursuant to each Senior Debt Instrument; provided that nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second-Priority Agents or the Second-Priority Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second-Priority Claims not otherwise in contravention of this agreement.

5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Intercreditor Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Lender Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the Intercreditor Agent for the benefit of Senior Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Senior Lender Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the Second-Priority Agents for the benefit of the Second-Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second-Priority Documents and (c) third, if no Second-Priority 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. If any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Intercreditor Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3. Amendments to Second-Priority Collateral Documents.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Intercreditor Agent and the Required Lenders, no Second-Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second-Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. Each Second-Priority Agent agrees that each applicable Second-Priority Collateral Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Intercreditor Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [applicable Second-Priority Agent] pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to (a) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as collateral agent (and its permitted successors) pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agreement dated as of October 24, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Momentive Performance Materials Inc., The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as collateral agent and the other parties party thereto, (b) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as collateral agent (and its permitted successors) pursuant to the Collateral Agreement dated as of April 24, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), by and among Momentive Performance Materials Inc. and the other parties party thereto or (c) any agent or trustee for any other Senior Lenders (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [applicable Second-Priority Agent] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of October 24, 2014 (as amended,

restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as ABL Credit Agreement Agent and Intercreditor Agent, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as First-Lien Notes Agent, The Bank of New York Melon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and Collateral Agent and Momentive Performance Materials Inc. and the other parties party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) In the event that the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Intercreditor Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Lender Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second-Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party and without any action by any Second-Priority Agent, Second-Priority Secured Party, the Company or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (A) such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Second-Priority Secured Parties or the interests of the Second-Priority Secured Parties in the Second-Priority Collateral and not the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner, and (B) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second-Priority Agent.

5.4. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Subsidiary that has guaranteed the Second-Priority Claims in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second-Priority Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of Second-Priority Claims held by any of them. In the event any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second-Priority Claims, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders may have with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral.

5.5. Intercreditor Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The Intercreditor Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for each Second-Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Second-Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(b) The Intercreditor Agent agrees to hold the Deposit Account Collateral (if any) that is part of the Common Collateral and controlled by the Intercreditor Agent as gratuitous bailee for each Second-Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Deposit Account Collateral pursuant to the Second-Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(c) In the event that the Intercreditor Agent (or its agent -or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Noteholder Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, the Intercreditor Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for each Second-Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second-Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Intercreditor Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents as if the Liens under the Second-Priority Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Intercreditor Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the Intercreditor Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for each Second-Priority Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second-Priority Secured Parties.

(f) The Intercreditor Agent shall not have by reason of the Second-Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party and the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties hereby waive and release the Intercreditor Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Intercreditor Agent’s role under this Section 5.5, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral.

(g) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Intercreditor Agent shall deliver to the Second-Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and the Deposit Account Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second-Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral and Deposit Account Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the Intercreditor Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Intercreditor Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Intercreditor Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Intercreditor Agent has no obligation to follow instructions from any Second-Priority Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

(h) Neither the Intercreditor Agent nor the Senior Lenders shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders under any Senior Debt Instrument or the Senior Collateral Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

5.6. Second-Priority Designated Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second-Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the other Second-Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the applicable Second-Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6.

(b) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second-Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold the Deposit Account Collateral (if any) that is part of the Common Collateral and controlled by the Second-Priority Designated Agent as gratuitous bailee for the other Second-Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Deposit Account Collateral pursuant to the applicable Second-Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6.

(c) In the event that the Second-Priority Designated Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Noteholder Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second-Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for the other Second-Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the applicable Second-Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6.

(d) The Second-Priority Designated Agent, in its capacity as gratuitous bailee, shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other Second-Priority Agents to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.6. The duties or responsibilities of the Second-Priority Designated Agent under this Section 5.6 upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the other Second-Priority Agents for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the applicable Second-Priority Secured Parties.

(e) The Second-Priority Designated Agent shall not have by reason of the Second-Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Second-Priority Agents (or the Second-Priority Secured Parties for which such other Second-Priority Agents is agent) and the other Second-Priority Agents hereby waive and release the Second-Priority Designated Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Second-Priority Designated Agent’s role under this Section 5.6, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral.

(f) In the event that the Second-Priority Designated Agent shall cease to be so designated the Second-Priority Designated Agent pursuant to the definition of such term, the then Second-Priority Designated Agent shall deliver to the successor Second-Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and the Deposit Account Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the successor Second-Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral and Deposit Account Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and such successor Second-Priority Designated Agent shall perform all duties of the Second-Priority Designated Agent as set forth herein. The Company shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereto and shall indemnify the Second-Priority Designated Agent for loss or damage suffered by the Second-Priority Designated Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by the Second-Priority Designated Agent as a result of its own wilful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The Second-Priority Designated Agent has no obligation to follow instructions from the successor Second-Priority Designated Agent in contravention of this Agreement.

5.7. When Discharge of Senior Lender Claims Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Company incurs and designates any Future First-Lien Indebtedness, then such Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Lender Claims), and the applicable agreement governing such Future First-Lien Indebtedness shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Instrument for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the Intercreditor Agent of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder. Upon receipt of notice of such designation (including the identity of the new Intercreditor Agent), each Second-Priority Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Company), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Company or such new Intercreditor Agent shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Intercreditor Agent the rights of the Intercreditor Agent contemplated hereby and (ii) to the extent then held by any Second-Priority Agent, deliver to the Intercreditor Agent the Pledged Collateral that is Common Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such Intercreditor Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

5.8. No Release If Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, if an Event of Default (as defined in the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document, as applicable) exists on the date on which all First-Lien Indebtedness is repaid in full and terminated (including all commitments and letters of credit thereunder), the second-priority Liens on the Second-Priority Collateral securing the Second-Priority Claims relating to such Event of Default will not be released, except to the extent such Collateral or any portion thereof was disposed of in order to repay the First-Lien Indebtedness secured by such Collateral, and thereafter the applicable Second-Priority Agent will have the right to direct the Intercreditor Agent to foreclose upon such Collateral (but in any such event, the Liens on such Collateral securing the applicable Second-Priority Claims will be released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document, as applicable, cease to exist).

Section 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1. Financing Issues. If the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Intercreditor Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a) and Section 6.3) and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the Common Collateral to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Priority Claims are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Lender Claims made by the Intercreditor Agent or any holder of Senior Lender Claims, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Lender Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Lender Claims at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Lender Collateral, (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of Senior Lender Claims relating to the lawful enforcement of any

Lien on Senior Lender Collateral or (e) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any order relating to a sale of assets of any Grantor for which the Intercreditor Agent has consented that provides, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and the Second-Priority Claims will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the Senior Lender Collateral rank to the Liens securing the Second-Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.

6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Intercreditor Agent and the Required Lenders.

6.3. Adequate Protection. Each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by the Intercreditor Agent or the Senior Lenders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Intercreditor Agent’s or the Senior Lenders’ claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law, then each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and any applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Priority Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement and (ii) in the event any Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or each such Second-Priority Secured Party, agrees that the Senior-Priority Agents shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the applicable Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second-Priority Claims shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Lenders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second-Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement.

6.4. Preference Issues. If any Senior Lender is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Lender Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Lenders shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims 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.

6.5. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable prior to and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All references herein to any Grantor shall apply to any trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the

Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.

6.6. 506(c) Claims. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral.

Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.

7.1. Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Lenders to the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, acknowledges that it and the applicable Second-Priority Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the Intercreditor Agent or any Senior Lender, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the applicable Second-Priority Document, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Second-Priority Document or this Agreement.

7.2. No Warranties or Liability. Each Second-Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second-Priority Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Intercreditor Agent nor any Senior Lender has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Lender Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Lenders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Lender Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Lenders may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Second-Priority Agent or any of the Second-Priority Secured Parties have in the Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the Intercreditor Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (including the Second-Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agent, the Senior Lenders, the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Second-Priority Claims, the Senior Lender Claims or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Company’s or any other Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Common Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Intercreditor Agreement.

7.3. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Intercreditor Agent and the Senior Lenders, and the Second-Priority Agents and the Second-Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Lender Documents or any Second-Priority Documents;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second-Priority Claims, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any Senior Debt Instrument or any other Senior Lender Document or of the terms of the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second-Priority Claims or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Lender Claims, or of any Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.19:

(a) in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Senior Lender Document or any Second-Priority Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern; and

(b) for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Senior Lender Claims (taken as one group), in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor agreement entered into in accordance with Section 8.21 relating to the relative priorities, rights or obligations of the parties holding the Senior Lender Claims, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement or such other intercreditor agreement shall govern.

8.2. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.7 and Section 6.4, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall have occurred or such later time as all the Obligations in respect of the Second-Priority Claims shall have been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Lenders may continue, at any time and without notice to each Second-Priority Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting Senior Lender Claims in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, 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.

8.3. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each Second-Priority Agent (or its authorized agent) and each Senior-Priority Agent (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. The Company and the other Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights are affected. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Company, at the Company’s expense, and without the consent of any Second-Priority Agent, any Senior-Priority

Agent, any Senior Lender or any Second-Priority Secured Party to (i) add other parties holding Future Second-Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee therefor) and Future First-Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee therefor) in each case to the extent such Indebtedness is not prohibited by any Senior Debt Instrument, the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document governing Future Second-Lien Indebtedness, (ii) in the case of Future Second-Lien Indebtedness, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Future Second-Lien Indebtedness shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims, and (b) provide to the holders of such Future Second-Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the Intercreditor Agent) as are provided to the holders of Second-Priority Claims under this Agreement, and (iii) in the case of Future First-Lien Indebtedness, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Future First-Lien Indebtedness shall be superior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second-Priority Claims and any Future Second-Lien Indebtedness and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims, and (b) provide to the holders of such Future First-Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits as are provided to the holders of Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement, in each case so long as such modifications do not expressly violate the provisions of any Senior Debt Instrument, the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document governing Future Second-Lien Indebtedness. Any such additional party and each Second-Priority Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Company that such modifications do not violate any Senior Debt Instrument, the Second-Lien Notes Indenture or any other Second-Priority Document governing Future Second-Lien Indebtedness if such determination is set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to such party, the Intercreditor Agent and each Second-Priority Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Company has complied with its undertakings in any Senior Debt Instrument, the Senior Collateral Documents, the Second-Lien Notes Indenture, any other Second-Priority Document governing Future Second-Lien Indebtedness, the Second-Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement.

8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
