Section 2.2. Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties on whose behalf it acts in such capacity therefor, agrees that it will not, and hereby waives any right to, contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Second Priority Lien or any First Priority Lien, as the case may be; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement to the extent provided hereby.

The parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, none of the Grantors shall, nor shall any Grantor permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any Second Priority Claim unless it has granted, or concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset of such Grantor to secure the First Priority Claims or (ii) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset of a Grantor to secure any First Priority Claims unless, to the extent permitted by applicable law, it has granted, or within 10 Business Days thereafter grants, a Lien on such asset of a Grantor to secure the Second Priority Claims, with each such Lien to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that the provisions of the immediately

preceding sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to the First Priority Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

(c) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Priority Security Document or any other Second Priority Debt Document (other than, in each case, this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Priority Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the other First Priority Debt Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the acceleration of the Indebtedness then outstanding under the First Priority Debt Agreement, the Second Priority Creditors may (but shall not be obligated to), at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Parent and the First Priority Agent, require the First Priority Secured Parties to transfer and assign to the Second Priority Creditors, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the First Priority Claims; provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, and (y) the Second Priority Creditors shall have paid to the First Priority Agent, for the account of the First Priority Secured Parties, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to 100% of the principal of such Indebtedness plus all accrued and

unpaid interest thereon (including default interest) plus all accrued and unpaid fees (including legal fees and expenses) (plus all the other First Priority Claims then outstanding (which shall include, with respect to (i) the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit outstanding under the First Priority Debt Documents, posting cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% thereof on terms and documentation reasonably satisfactory to the applicable issuer of such Letter of Credit, and (ii) each hedging, cap, collar, swap or other similar agreement that has been terminated and which evidences any Hedging Obligations included in such First Priority Claims, 100% of the aggregate amount of such First Priority Claims, after giving effect to any netting arrangements, that the applicable Grantor is required to pay using the market quotation method) and (z) with respect to each hedging, cap, collar, swap or other similar agreements that have not been terminated, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall have caused such agreements to be assigned or novated on terms and subject to documentation satisfactory to the applicable First Priority Secured Party that is the counterparty thereto. In order to effectuate the foregoing, the First Priority Agent shall calculate, upon the written request of the Second Priority Agent from time to time, the amount in cash that would be necessary so to purchase the First Priority Claims. If the right set forth in this Section 3.1(d) is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.1(d) at which time the right to purchase will expire. If the Second Priority Secured Parties exercise the right set forth in this Section 3.1(d), it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Priority Agent and the Second Priority Agent (acting upon the direction of the purchasing Second Priority Creditors).

(e) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Second Priority Agent may enforce the provisions of the Second Priority Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in its sole discretion, in each case, to the extent that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement. Such exercise and enforcement shall, in each case, to the extent that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise prohibited under this Agreement, include (i) the rights of an agent appointed by it to Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such Disposition and (ii) the right to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. The Second Priority Agent agrees to provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the First Priority Agent of its intention to foreclose upon or Dispose of any Collateral.

(a) except for Second Priority Permitted Actions, will not, so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, (A) enforce or exercise, or seek to enforce or exercise, any rights or remedies (including any right of setoff) with respect to any Collateral (including the enforcement of any right under any account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party is a party) or (B) commence or join with any Person (other than the First Priority Agent) in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any

resolution for, any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action); provided, however, that the Second Priority Agent may enforce or exercise any or all such rights and remedies, or commence, join with any Person in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding, after a period of 180 days has elapsed (which period shall be tolled during any period in which the First Priority Agent shall not be entitled to enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral as a result of (x) any injunction issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) since the date on which the Second Priority Agent has delivered to the First Priority Agent written notice of the acceleration of the Indebtedness then outstanding under the Second Priority Debt Agreement (the “Standstill Period”); provided further, however, that (1) notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party enforce or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral, or commence, join with any Person at any time in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such action or proceeding, if the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party shall have commenced, and shall be diligently pursuing (or shall have sought or requested relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof), the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to any material portion of the Collateral or any such action or proceeding (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the Second Priority Agent by the First Priority Agent) and (2) after the expiration of the Standstill Period, so long as neither the First Priority Agent nor any of the First Priority Secured Parties have commenced any action to enforce their Lien on any material portion of the Collateral, in the event that and for so long as the Second Priority Secured Parties (or the Second Priority Agent on their behalf) have commenced any actions to enforce their Liens with respect to any material portion of the Collateral to the extent permitted hereunder (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the First Priority Agent by the Second Priority Agent) and are diligently pursuing such actions, neither the First Priority Secured Parties nor the First Priority Agent shall take any action of a similar nature with respect to such Collateral; provided that all other provisions of this Agreement (including the turnover provisions of Article IV) are complied with;

(b) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure action or proceeding brought by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party, or any other enforcement or exercise by any First Priority Secured Party of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Priority Debt Documents or an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or in connection with a Liquidation Sale or otherwise, so long as Second Priority Liens attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1;

(e) will not take, or cause to be taken any action that would, or could reasonably be expected to, restrain, hinder, limit, delay or otherwise interfere with, in any manner and whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any exercise of remedies under the First Priority Debt Documents, including any Disposition of any Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(f) will not object to the manner in which the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party may seek to enforce or collect the First Priority Claims or the First Priority Liens, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party is, or could be, adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties, and will not assert, and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law;

(k) will not institute any suit or assert in any suit or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any claim against the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to, and neither the First Priority Agent nor any other First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the First Priority Agent or other First Priority Secured Party with respect to any Collateral in a manner consistent with this Agreement.

Section 3.3. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Second Priority Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise remedies against any Grantor as unsecured creditors; provided that (i) no such action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) the Second Priority Agent and any other Second Priority Secured Parties would not otherwise be restricted or prohibited from taking such action in their respective capacities as Second Priority Secured Parties under this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies in contravention of this Agreement (including any right of setoff) against Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Second Priority Lien against Collateral (including any judgment lien resulting from the exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor).

(b) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims occurs, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, hereby appoints the First Priority Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Priority Agent, with full power of substitution, as the attorney-in-fact of each Second Priority Secured Party for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Section 3.4 and taking any action and executing any instrument that the First Priority Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 3.4 (including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest but may only be exercised if the First Priority Agent requests that the Second Priority Agent (or applicable Second Priority Secured Party) execute such instrument and such request is declined.

Section 3.5. Release of First Priority Liens. If, in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the expiration of the Standstill Period that is permitted in accordance with clause (2) of the second proviso to Section 3.2(a), including any Disposition of Collateral, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, intends to (x) release any of the Second Priority Liens, or (y) release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the Second Priority Claims (in each case, a “Second Priority Release”), then, upon written notice to the First Priority Agent from the Second Priority Agent (acting at the direction of the Second Priority Creditors) and subject to the provisos set forth below, the First Priority Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, promptly release the First Priority Liens on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guarantee of the First Priority Claims, and the First Priority Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Second Priority Agent, the Companies, or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Second Priority Agent, the Companies or such Guarantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release; provided that (i) no First Priority Liens on such Collateral or the obligations of such Guarantor shall be released unless concurrently therewith, the applicable Second Priority Release is effectuated, and (ii) so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, the proceeds of, or payments with respect to, any Second Priority Release that are received by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties in accordance with Section 4.2.

Section 3.6. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, the First Priority Agent and the other First Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Priority Debt Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance covering Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Collateral. All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall (a) first, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Priority Debt Documents, be paid to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of First Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Debt Documents, (b) second, after the Discharge of First Priority Claims and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second Priority Debt Documents, be paid to the Second Priority Agent for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Second Priority

Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, if the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment, it shall transfer and pay over such proceeds to the First Priority Agent in accordance with Section 4.2.

Section 3.7. Notification of Release of Collateral. Each of the First Priority Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall give the other prompt written notice of the Disposition or Release by it of the Lien on any Collateral. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the subject Collateral, the parties involved in such Disposition or Release, the place, time manner and method thereof, and the consideration, if any, received therefor; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in and of itself in any way impair the effectiveness of any such Disposition or Release.

Section 6.1. Finance and Sale Matters. (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties:

(i) will not oppose or object to the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral;

(ii) will not oppose or object to any post-petition financing, whether provided by the First Priority Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “DIP Financing”), or the Liens securing any DIP Financing (“DIP Financing Liens”), unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens, and, to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens, the Second Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Priority Liens to the First Priority Liens, if applicable, and the DIP Financing Liens on the terms of this Agreement; provided that, this clause (ii) will only be binding on the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to any DIP Financing to the extent the principal amount of such DIP Financing, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Claims (other than Hedging Obligations and Treasury Management Obligations), does not exceed the sum of $100 million plus the aggregate amount of Indebtedness permitted to be outstanding pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” of the Second Priority Debt Agreement (as in effect on the Issue Date), without giving effect to the proviso at the end thereof;

(iii) except to the extent permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.1, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or a DIP Financing, will not request adequate protection with respect to any Collateral or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, DIP Financing or DIP Financing Liens;

(iv) will not oppose or object to any Disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Second Priority Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, if the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall consent to, or not oppose or object to, such Disposition free and clear of First Priority Liens, so long as the proceeds are applied in accordance with this Agreement; and

(v) without the prior written consent of the First Priority Agent, no Second Priority Secured Party will (nor will any of Second Priority Secured Party join with or support any third party in opposing, objecting to or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any of the Companies or any Subsidiary, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any First Priority Secured Party or the value of any claims of any such holder under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) oppose, object to or contest the payment to the First Priority Secured Party of interest, fees or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any First Priority Secured Party seeks or requests adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the Second Priority Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the First Priority Liens and DIP Financing Liens on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement or (B) any Second Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the First Priority Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral that is senior to such Second Priority Lien as security for the First Priority Claims.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to clause (d) below, the holders of the Second Priority Debt Documents retain their rights under the Bankruptcy Code to make post-petition financing proposals, and such proposals shall not be deemed to be an objection to any other DIP Financing proposals, so long as (x) any court order approving such post-petition financing proposed by any such Second Priority Secured Party requires that the Discharge of First Priority Claims shall have occurred as a condition to any payment being due with respect to such post-petition financing, and (y) the Discharge of First Priority Claims occurs prior to the date of any payment being due with respect to such post-petition financing.

(d) Without the prior written consent of the First Priority Agent, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to propose, support or enter into any DIP Financing, if the effect of such DIP Financing would be that the Second Priority Claims would no longer be subordinated to the First Priority Claims in the manner set forth in this Agreement, or the Second Priority Secured Parties would recover any payments they are not otherwise entitled to under this Agreement, including by way of adequate protection.

(e) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, waives any claim that may be had against the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party arising out of any DIP Financing Liens (granted in a manner that is not inconsistent with this Agreement) or administrative expense claim under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Debt Document, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, then the Second Priority Agent for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that, any distribution or recovery they may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets constituting

Collateral subject to an enforceable Lien in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Priority Agent for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties in the same form as received but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims occurs, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Party, hereby appoints the First Priority Agent, and any officer or agent of the First Priority Agent, with full power of substitution, the attorney-in-fact of each Second Priority Secured Party for the limited purpose of carrying out the provisions of this clause (f) and taking any action and executing any instrument that the First Priority Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this clause (f), which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, no Second Priority Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Agent, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Second Priority Lien.

Section 6.3. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority Claims and on account of the Second Priority Claims, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Section 6.4. Post-Petition Interest. (a) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that no Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the First Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral).

(b) The First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party may make a claim for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Priority Liens; provided, however, that if the First Priority Secured Parties shall have made any such claim, such claim (A) shall have also have been approved or (B) will be approved contemporaneous with the approval of any such claim by any Second Priority Secured Party.

ARTICLE VII.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 7.1. Matters Relating to Debt Documents. The Parent and the Second Priority Agent agrees that the Second Priority Debt Agreement and each Second Priority Security Document shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the First Priority Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each of the Parent and the Second Priority Agent further agrees that each Second Priority Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Priority Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Priority Mortgage to the First Priority Security Document covering such Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.2. Effect of Refinancing of Indebtedness under First Priority Debt Documents. If, substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Grantors Refinance Indebtedness outstanding under the First Priority Debt Documents and provided that (a) such Refinancing is permitted hereby and (b) either Company gives to the Second Priority Agent written notice (the “Refinancing Notice”) electing the application of the provisions of this Section 7.2 to such Refinancing Indebtedness, then (i) such Discharge of First Priority Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) such Refinancing Indebtedness and all other obligations under the documents evidencing such Indebtedness (the “New First Priority Claims”) shall automatically be treated as First Priority Claims for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the Debt Agreement and the other documents evidencing such Refinancing Indebtedness (the “New First Priority Debt Documents”) shall automatically be treated as the First Priority Debt Agreement and the First Priority Debt Documents and, in the case of New First Priority Debt Documents that are security documents pursuant to which any Grantor has granted a Lien to secure any New First Priority Claim, as the First Priority Security Documents for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the collateral agent under the New First Priority Debt Documents (the “New First Priority Agent”) shall be deemed to be the First Priority Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and (v) the lenders under the New First Priority Debt Documents shall be deemed to be the First Priority Creditors for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a Refinancing Notice, which notice shall include the identity of the New First Priority Agent, the Second Priority Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as any Company or such New First Priority Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New First Priority Agent the rights and powers contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. Either Company shall cause the agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which the New First Priority Agent is appointed to provide that the New First Priority Agent agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of Section 2.3, if the New First Priority Claims are secured by assets of the Grantors that do not also secure the Second Priority Claims, the applicable Grantors shall promptly grant a Second Priority Lien on such assets to secure the Second Priority Claims.

Section 7.3. No Waiver by First Priority Secured Parties. Other than with respect to the Second Priority Permitted Actions, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party, including any request by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

Section 7.4. Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Priority Claims previously made shall be rescinded or otherwise required to be paid over to any Company or any Subsidiary for any reason whatsoever, then the First Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount so rescinded or paid and the Discharge of First Priority Claims is deemed not to have occurred for all purposes under this Agreement and, if theretofore terminated, this Agreement

shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the relative rights and obligations of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties provided for herein. The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that if, at any time, it receives notice of any such rescission or payment, the Second Priority Agent or such other Second Priority Secured Party shall promptly pay over to the First Priority Agent any payment in respect of the Collateral or any Collateral received by it and then in its possession or under its control, and the provisions set forth in this Agreement shall be reinstated as if such payment had not been made, until the Discharge of First Priority Claims.

Section 7.5. Authorization of Collateral Agents. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other First Priority Security Documents, each First Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the First Priority Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf as collateral agent hereunder and in connection herewith. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and the other Second Priority Security Documents, each Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the Second Priority Agent to enter into this Agreement and to act on its behalf as collateral agent hereunder and in connection herewith.

In the event the First Priority Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties and the relevant Grantors enter 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 provision thereof, such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the comparable Second Priority Security Documents without any action by or consent of the Second Priority Agent or the other Second Priority Secured Parties, provided, that, (A) any such amendment, waiver or consent that effects the release of Liens on Collateral shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents unless such release is required by this Agreement, (B) any 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 (including permitting Liens on the Collateral (other than DIP Financing Liens) that are not permitted under the Second Lien Debt Documents) shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents, and (C) any such amendment, waiver or consent that affects the rights or duties of the Second Priority Agent shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents without the Second Priority Agent’s written consent, and (D) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Second Priority Agent no later than 10 Business Days after its effectiveness; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

Section 7.7. Further Assurances. Each of the First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, and the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and each Grantor party hereto, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries, agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any applicable law, or which the First Priority Agent or the Second Priority Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein.
