any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Common Collateral that would
conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of

Obligations, or any portion thereof.

(b) The Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Secured Parties that all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds and similar instruments
(collectively, “mortgages”) now or thereafter filed against real property in favor of or for the
benefit of the Second Priority Representative shall be in form satisfactory to the First Priority
Representative and shall contain the following notation: “The lien created by this mortgage on the
property described herein is junior and subordinate to the lien on such property created by any
mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument now or hereafter granted to JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, and its successors and assigns, in such property, in accordance with
the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of October ___, 2009 among JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, U.S. Bank National Association, as Collateral Agent, and the

(c) The First Priority Representative 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
Uniform Commercial Code) over Common Collateral pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents,
such possession or control is also for the benefit of the Second Priority Representative and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties solely to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Common Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence
shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Representative (or any third party
acting on its behalf) with respect to such Common Collateral or provide the Second Priority
Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such
Common Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement and the Second Priority Security
Documents, provided that subsequent to the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations
Payment Date, the First Priority Representative shall promptly upon the request of the Second
Priority Representative (i) deliver to the Second Priority Representative, at the Borrower’s sole
cost and expense, the Common Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary
endorsements to the extent required by the Second Priority Documents or (ii) direct and deliver
such Common 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 Priority Secured Parties and the Second
Priority Secured Parties and shall not impose on the First Priority Secured Parties any obligations
in respect of the disposition of any Common 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 Secured Party. Further, subsequent to the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment
Date and upon the request of the Second Priority Representative, the First Priority Representative
shall promptly deliver notices of the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date to
all third party lien holders entitled to receive such notice pursuant to the terms of any
applicable Third Party Intecreditor Agreement.
11
2.4 No New Liens. So long as the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has not
occurred, the parties hereto agree that (a) there shall be no Lien, and no Loan Party shall have
any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority
Obligation if these same assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien securing
the First Priority Obligations and (b) if any Second Priority Secured Party shall acquire or hold
any Lien on any assets of any Loan Party securing any Second Priority Obligation which assets are
not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Priority Representative under the First
Priority Documents, then the Second Priority Representative, upon demand by the First Priority
Representative, will without the need for any further consent of any other Second Priority Secured
Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Second Priority Document either (i)
release such Lien or (ii) assign it to the First Priority Representative as security for the First
Priority Obligations (in which case the Second Priority Representative may retain a junior lien on
such assets subject to the terms hereof). 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
Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result
of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Section 4.1.

(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 Priority Obligation pari passu with or senior
to, or to give any Second Priority Secured Party any preference or priority relative to, the
Liens with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority Secured Parties
with respect to any of the Common Collateral;
(b) they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any
manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including, without limitation, the filing of an
12
Insolvency Proceeding) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of the Common Collateral by any First Priority Secured Party or any other
Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) by or on
behalf of any First Priority Secured Party;
(c) they have no right to (i) direct either the First Priority Representative or any
other First Priority Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to
the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or (ii) consent
or object to the exercise by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or
pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or to the timing or manner in which any
such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have 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 any First Priority Secured Party
seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, injunction or
otherwise, with respect to, and no First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any
action taken or omitted to be taken by any First Priority Secured Party with respect to the
Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Documents;
(e) except to the extent permitted by Section 3.7, they will not make any judicial or
nonjudicial claim or demand or commence any judicial or non-judicial proceedings against any
Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates under or with respect to any Second
Priority Security Document seeking payment or damages from or other relief by way of
specific performance, injunction or otherwise under or with respect to any Second Priority
Security Document (other than filing a proof of claim) 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 Priority Security Document;
(f) except to the extent permitted by Section 3.7, 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 Common Collateral, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise
take any action to enforce their interest in or realize upon, the Common Collateral or
pursuant to the Second Priority Security Documents; and
(g) they will not seek, and hereby waive any right, to have the Common Collateral or
any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of the Common
Collateral.
3.3 Judgment Creditors. In the event that 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, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for
all purposes (including in relation to the First Priority Liens and the First Priority
13
Obligations)
to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subject to the
terms of this Agreement.
3.4 Cooperation. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that each of them shall take such actions as the
First Priority Representative shall request in connection with the exercise by the First Priority
Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein.
3.5 No Additional Rights For the Loan Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in
Section 3.6, if any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party shall enforce its
rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, no Loan Party shall be entitled to
use such violation as a defense to any action by any First Priority Secured Party or Second
Priority Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or
recoupment against any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party.
3.6 Actions Upon Breach. (a) If any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this
Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Loan Party or the
Common Collateral, such Loan Party, with the prior written consent of the First Priority Secured
Representative, may interpose as a defense or the basis for an equitable or legal claim, or a
dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and any First Priority Secured Party may intervene and
interpose such defense or plea in its or their name or in the name of such Loan Party.
(b) Should any Second Priority Secured Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take,
attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common 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, any First Priority Secured Party (in its own
name or in the name of the relevant Loan Party) or the relevant Loan Party may obtain relief
against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other
appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Priority Representative
on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the First Priority Secured Parties’
damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, (ii)
each Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Loan Parties and/or the First
Priority Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages
and (iii) this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption and admission by each of the Second Priority Secured Parties that relief against such person by
injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent
irreparable harm to the other party hereto.
3.7 Reserved Rights of Second Priority Secured Parties. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, any Second Priority Secured Party may take any or all of the following
actions:
(i) at any time demand payment of amounts then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the
Second Priority Documents and pursue unsecured lender remedies with regard to any such payments not
made under the Second Priority Documents;
14
(ii) demand payment for or accelerate the payment of the Second Priority Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents;
(iii) file a Proof of Claim or Statement of Interest in accordance with Section 5.1;
(iv) file all necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim,
proceedings or pleadings made by any Person objecting to or seeking disallowance of the claims of
the Second Priority Secured Parties, including claims secured by the Common Collateral;
(v) make any filings or motions or take other actions to preserve or protect its liens on the
Collateral or preserve any other rights, including to stay any statute of limitations;
(vi) subject to all provisions of this Agreement other than Sections 3.1 and 3.2 hereof, if a
Second Priority Default that existed at the time of the commencement of the Standstill Period shall
be continuing after the expiration of such Standstill Period, then upon the expiration of such
Standstill Period the Second Lien Secured Parties may take any Enforcement Action, but only so long
as the First Priority Secured Parties are not pursuing diligently and in good faith an Enforcement
Action to enforce their Liens on all or any material portion of the Common Collateral or diligently
attempting to vacate any stay prohibiting an Enforcement Action in respect to all or any material
portion of the Common Collateral; and
(vii) subject to all provisions of this Agreement other than Sections 3.1 or 3.2 hereof, in
the circumstance where no Standstill Period is in effect, if no Standstill Notice is given by the
First Priority Representative within fifteen (15) days of the date of its receipt of a Notice of
Intent to Exercise, then in each case the Second Priority Secured Parties may take any Enforcement
Action specified in such Notice of Intent to Exercise.
SECTION 4. Application Of Proceeds Of Common Collateral; Dispositions And Releases Of Common
Collateral; Inspection and Insurance.
4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All proceeds of Common Collateral
(including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or
other disposition of Common Collateral in connection with or resulting from any Enforcement Action,
and whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows:
first to the First Priority Representative for application (subject to Section
4.4) to the First Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Priority
Documents, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred and thereafter,
to the Second Priority Representative for application in accordance with the Second Priority
Documents. Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common
Collateral, including, without limitation, any such Common Collateral constituting proceeds, that
may be received by any Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be
segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative, for the
benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements, and each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority
15
Representative to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Priority Representative (which
authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).
4.2 Releases and Subordination of Second Priority Lien. (a) Upon any release, sale or
disposition of Common Collateral permitted pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Documents
that results in the release of the First Priority Lien on any Common Collateral (including, without
limitation, any sale or other disposition pursuant to any Enforcement Action), the Second Priority
Lien on such Common Collateral (excluding any portion of the proceeds of such Common Collateral
remaining after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date occurs) shall be automatically and
unconditionally released with no further consent or action of any Person, so long as no Second
Priority Default has occurred and is continuing (except with respect to any sale or other
disposition pursuant to any Enforcement Action or as contemplated by Section 5.6).
(b) If, pursuant to the authority granted to the First Lien Agent in Section 12.1(b)
of the Existing First Priority Agreement (or comparable provisions of any other First Priority
Agreement), the First Priority Representative shall enter into any subordination or intercreditor
agreement subordinating or limiting the rights of the First Priority Representative with respect to
any First Priority Lien, then the Second Priority Representative will also execute comparable such
agreements with respect to the Second Priority Liens (“Third Party Intercreditor Agreements”).
(c) The Second Priority Representative shall promptly execute and deliver such release
documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the First Priority Representative
shall request to evidence any release of the Second Priority Lien described in paragraph (a) or
subordination or limitation described in paragraph (b). The Second Priority Representative hereby
appoints the First Priority Representative and any officer or duly authorized person of the First
Priority Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact
with full irrevocable power of attorney in the place and stead of the Second Priority
Representative and in the name of the Second Priority Representative or in the First Priority
Representative’s own name, from time to time, in the First Priority Representative’s sole
discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this Section 4.2, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments as may be
necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 4.2, including, without
limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or
instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable). No
person to whom this power of attorney is presented, as authority for First Priority Representative
to take any action or actions specified hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek
confirmation from the Second Priority Representative as to the authority of First Priority
Representative to take any action described herein, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any
condition to this power of attorney, which is intended to grant to First Priority
Representative the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein. Second Priority
Representative irrevocably waives any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity,
against any Person which acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this
power of attorney.
16
4.3 Inspection Rights and Insurance. (a) Any First Priority Secured Party and its
representatives and invitees may at any time inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the
Common Collateral, and the First Priority Representative may advertise and conduct public auctions
or private sales of the Common Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or
interference by any Second Priority Secured Party or liability to any Second Priority Secured
Party.
(b) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the First Priority
Representative will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as additional insured and
loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Loan Party (except that
the Second Priority Representative shall have the right to be named as additional insured and loss
payee so long as its second lien status is identified in a manner satisfactory to the First
Priority Representative); (ii) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering the
Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (iii) to approve any award granted in any
condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral.
4.4. Preservation of Collateral. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the First Priority Representative may (but shall be under no obligation to) permit any
Loan Party to retain proceeds of Common Collateral, or turn over to any Loan Party proceeds of
Common Collateral for the purpose of preserving or enhancing the value of Common Collateral,
including, without limitation, funding the collection of receivables and the continued licensing
and other exploitation of distribution rights and the completion of one or more incomplete
projects. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, acknowledges that the First Priority Secured Parties shall not have any
responsibility for the actual application of funds loaned or released to any Loan Party for such
purposes.
4.5 Option to Purchase. (a) The First Priority Representative agrees that it will
give the Second Priority Representative written notice (the “Enforcement Notice”) within five
Business Days after commencing any Enforcement Action (other than the exercise of control
over any deposit account(s) or securities account(s)) with respect to Common Collateral (which
notice shall be effective for all Enforcement Actions taken after the date of such notice so long
as the First Priority Representative is diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of its
default or enforcement rights or remedies against, or diligently attempting in good faith to vacate
any stay of enforcement rights of its senior Liens on a material portion of the Common Collateral,
including, without limitation, all Enforcement Actions identified in such notice). Thereafter, any
Second Priority Secured Party shall have the option, by irrevocable written notice (the “Purchase
Notice”) delivered by the Second Priority Representative to the First Priority Representative no
later than five Business Days after receipt by the Second Priority Representative of the
Enforcement Notice, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the First Priority Obligations from
the First Priority Secured Parties. If the Second Priority Representative so delivers the Purchase
Notice, the First Priority Representative shall suspend any existing Enforcement Actions and shall
not take any further Enforcement Actions, provided, that the Purchase (as defined below) shall have been consummated on the date specified in the
Purchase Notice in accordance with this Section 4.5.
17
(b) On the date specified by the Second Priority Representative in the Purchase Notice (which
shall be a Business Day not less than five Business Days, nor more than ten Business Days, after
receipt by the First Priority Representative of the Purchase Notice, the First Priority Secured
Parties shall, subject to any required approval of any court or other governmental authority then
in effect, sell to the Second Priority Secured Parties electing to purchase pursuant to Section
3.8(a) (the “Purchasing Parties”), and the Purchasing Parties shall purchase (the “Purchase”) from
the First Priority Secured Parties, the First Priority Obligations; provided, that the
First Priority Obligations purchased shall not include any rights of First Priority Secured Parties
with respect to indemnification and other obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority
Documents that are expressly stated to survive the termination of the First Priority Documents (the
“Surviving Obligations”).
(c) Without limiting the obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority Documents
to the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Surviving Obligations (which shall not be
transferred in connection with the Purchase), on the date of the Purchase, the Purchasing Parties
shall (i) pay to the First Priority Secured Parties as the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”)
therefor the full amount of all First Priority Obligations then outstanding and unpaid (including
principal, interest, fees, breakage costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, unreimbursed letter of
credit drawings, accepted drafts, and, in the case of any Hedging Obligations, the amount that
would be payable by the relevant Loan Party thereunder if it were to terminate such Hedging
Obligations on the date of the Purchase or, if not terminated, an amount determined by the relevant
First Priority Secured Party to be necessary to collateralize its credit risk arising out of such
Hedging Obligations, (ii) furnish cash collateral (the “Cash Collateral”) to the First Priority
Secured to secure such First Priority Secured Parties in connection with any outstanding letters of
credit in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of credit,
(iii) agree to reimburse the First Priority Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any fees, costs or expenses related to
any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Priority Obligations and/or as to
which the First Priority Secured Parties have not yet received final payment and (iv) agree, after
written request from the First Priority Representative, to reimburse the First Priority Secured
Parties in respect of indemnification obligations of the Loan Parties under the First Priority
Documents as to matters or circumstances known to the Purchasing Parties at the time of the
Purchase which could reasonably be expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense to any
of the First Priority Secured Parties, provided that, in no event shall any Purchasing
Party have any liability for such amounts contemplated by this clause (iv) in excess of proceeds of
Common Collateral received by the Purchasing Parties.
(d) The Purchase Price and Cash Collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to such account of the First Priority Representative as it shall designate to the
Purchasing Parties. The First Priority Representative shall, promptly following its receipt
thereof, distribute the amounts received by it in respect of the Purchase Price to the First
Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the First Priority Agreement. Interest shall be
calculated to but excluding the day on which the Purchase occurs if the amounts so paid by the
Purchasing Parties to the account designated by the First Priority Representative are received in
such account prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and
including such day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Parties to the account designated by
18
the First Priority Representative are received in such account later than 12:00 Noon, New York
City time.
(e) The Purchase shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind by the First
Priority Secured Parties as to the First Priority Obligations, the Common Collateral or otherwise
and without recourse to the First Priority Secured Parties, except that the First Priority Secured
Parties shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the First Priority Obligations being
purchased, (ii) that the First Priority Secured Parties own the First Priority Obligations free and
clear of any liens or encumbrances and (iii) that the First Priority Secured Parties have the right
to assign the First Priority Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized.
SECTION 5. Insolvency Proceedings.
5.1 Filing of Motions. Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has
occurred, the Second Priority Representative agrees on behalf of itself and the other Second
Priority Secured Parties that no Second Priority Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any
Insolvency Proceeding, 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 Common Collateral, including, without limitation, with respect to the determination of any
Liens or claims held by the First Priority Representative (including the validity and
enforceability thereof) or any other First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of
such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Law or otherwise;
provided that the Second Priority Representative may file a proof of claim in an Insolvency
Proceeding, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the
terms and the limitations on the Second Priority Representative imposed hereby.
5.2 Financing Matters. If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency
Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties
desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the applicable Insolvency Law
or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the applicable Insolvency Law or to consent (or not
object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such
financing, “DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself
and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party (a) will
take no position contrary to the First Priority Secured Parties, nor support any Person who takes a
position contrary to the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the use of such cash
collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) 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, (c) 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 5.4 below
and (d) 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 Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out”
agreed to by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties, and (e)
agrees that notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an
19
order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate
notice. Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties, agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide or support any
DIP Financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the First Priority Liens, unless
expressly approved by the First Priority Representative.
5.3 Relief From the Automatic Stay. The Second Priority Representative agrees, on
behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that none of them will seek relief
from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in
derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Common Collateral, without the prior written
consent of the First Priority Representative.
5.4 Adequate Protection. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and
the other Second Priority 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 Priority
Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties for adequate protection or any adequate
protection provided to the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured
Parties or (b) any objection by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
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 Priority
Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party under Section 506(b) or 506(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section and in Section
5.2(b) (but subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Sections 5.2(a) and 5.3), in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties
(or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection consisting of additional collateral (with
replacement liens on such additional collateral) and superpriority claims in connection with any
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then in connection with any such DIP Financing or use of
cash collateral the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and any of the Second
Priority Secured Parties, may seek or accept adequate protection consisting solely of (x) a
replacement Lien on the same additional collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First
Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the
Second Priority Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Obligations under this
Agreement and (y) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted
to the First Priority Secured Parties, provided, however, that the Second Priority
Representative shall have irrevocably agreed, pursuant to Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy
Code, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, in any stipulation and/or order
granting such adequate protection, that such junior superpriority claims may be paid under any plan
of reorganization in any combination of cash, debt, equity or other property having a value on the
effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims and (ii) in the event the
Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, seeks
or accepts adequate protection in accordance with clause (i) above and such adequate protection is
granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of
itself or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Representative
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First
Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral
securing the Second Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such
20
collateral securing the First Priority Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all
Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as
adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing
the Second Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this
Agreement. The Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, agrees that except as expressly set forth in this Section none of them shall seek
or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of the First Priority
Representative.
5.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any
Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any
Loan Party, 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 Priority 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 Priority
Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. 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 Priority 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 be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the
priorities set forth in this Agreement.
5.6 Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding. Neither the Second Priority
Representative nor any other Second Priority Secured Party shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or
otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any Loan Party that is supported by the
First Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Priority Representative and each other Second
Priority Secured Party will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code
(and otherwise) to any sale supported by the First Priority Secured Parties and to have released
their Liens on such assets.
5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Priority
Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority
Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct
grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common
Collateral, the Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority
Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in
an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties
and Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured
claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority
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 the Loan
21
Parties in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that
the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims
held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority 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 Secured Priority Secured Parties,
with the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the
First Priority Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent
necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of
reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties).
5.8 No Waivers of Rights of First Priority Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein
shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority
Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any
Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of
adequate protection (except as provided in Section 5.4) or the asserting by any Second Priority
Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents or otherwise.
5.9 Payments. In any Insolvency Proceeding involving one or more Loan Parties (i) if
the Second Priority Creditors receive under or pursuant to any plan of reorganization or otherwise,
any Distribution consisting of Reorganization Securities secured by Liens on any property of any
Loan Party, then the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such
Reorganization Securities pursuant to such plan or other arrangement and will apply with like
effect to such Reorganization Securities to the Liens securing such Reorganization Securities and
the distribution of the proceeds thereof, and the Second Priority Secured Parties agree to enter
into such supplements to or modifications to this Agreement as the First Priority Representative
may reasonably request to reflect the continued subordination of the Liens securing such
Reorganization Securities to Liens securing the First Priority Obligations (or notes, instruments
or other securities issued in substitution or satisfaction of all or a portion thereof) to the same
extent as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) a Second Priority Creditor shall not be entitled to
receive under or pursuant to any such plan of reorganization or other arrangement any Distribution
(other than Reorganization Securities) on account of such Second Priority Creditor’s secured claim
unless either (A) the First Priority Obligations are not being paid in cash in full on the
effective date of such plan or (B) such plan of reorganization has been accepted by the First
Priority Creditors voting as a class and is supported by the First Priority Representative (any
Distributions (other than Reorganization Securities) described in this subsection (ii), a
“Prohibited Plan Distribution”). Any Prohibited Plan Distribution which would otherwise, but for
the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Second Priority Obligations of the
applicable Second Priority Creditor shall be paid or delivered directly to First Priority
Representative to be held or applied by First Priority Representative in accordance with the terms
of the First Priority Documents until all First Priority Obligations are paid in cash in full.
Each Second Priority Secured Party irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor
in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator, or other Person having
authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Prohibited Plan Distributions payable or
deliverable to it to First Priority Representative. Each Second Priority Secured Party also
22
irrevocably authorizes and empowers the First Priority Representative, in the name of such
Second Priority Secured Party, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive any and all of its
Prohibited Plan Distributions.
5.10 Other Matters. To the extent that the Second Priority Representative or any
Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of any other Insolvency Law with respect to any of the
Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other
Second Priority Secured Parties not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent
of the First Priority Representative; provided that if requested by the First Priority
Representative, the Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner
requested by the First Priority Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such
rights.
5.11 Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties
hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.
SECTION 6. Second Priority Documents and First Priority Documents.
(a) Each Loan Party and the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the
Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any
amendment or other modification to any of the Second Priority Documents inconsistent with or in
violation of this Agreement.
(b) Each Loan Party and the First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First
Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not at any time execute or deliver any amendment or
other modification to any of the First Priority Documents inconsistent with or in violation of this
Agreement.
(c) In the event the First Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the First Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or
deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First
Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then
such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the
Comparable Second Priority Security Document without the consent of or action by any Second
Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms
hereof); provided that (other than with respect to amendments, modifications or waivers
that secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors and do not violate

such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Second
Priority Secured Parties and does not affect the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or
similar manner shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents without the consent of
23
the Second Priority Representative and (iii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall
be given to the Second Priority Representative no later than 30 days after its effectiveness,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity
thereof.

proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law,
in such Federal court. Each such party agrees that a final judgment in any such
26
