(and any successor thereto as Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to the definition of the term “Senior Collateral Agent”) to act on its behalf as the Senior Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the other Senior Collateral Documents and authorizes the Senior Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
 

 
 
 

Senior Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Senior Collateral granted by any Subsidiary Guarantor to secure any of the Senior Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Senior Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Senior Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Senior Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Senior Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Article VIII of the Senior Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Additional Senior Debt Facility (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Senior Collateral Agent” under the Senior Collateral Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
 
(b)  Upon execution and delivery of an instrument substantially in the form of Annex 2 by an additional Senior Class Debt Representative in accordance with Section 5.13, each then-existing Senior Class Debt Representative (the “Existing Debt Representatives”) hereby authorizes and directs the Senior Collateral Agent to execute and deliver such instrument substantially in the form of Annex 2 and any other Senior Collateral Documents (and acknowledges that any Senior Collateral Documents previously executed and delivered will be deemed to have been executed and delivered) on behalf of all Existing Debt Representatives and acknowledges and agrees that upon execution and delivery of such instrument substantially in the form of Annex 1 and such other Senior Collateral Documents, if any, the Senior Collateral Agent will act in its capacity as Senior Collateral Agent for all Existing Debt Representatives and such additional Senior Class Debt Representative.
 
(c)  Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Senior Collateral Documents, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Senior Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Senior Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Senior Collateral securing any of the Senior Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Senior Collateral securing any Senior Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Senior Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Senior Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Senior Obligations or any other Senior Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Senior Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any Senior Secured Party takes or omits to take
 

 
 
 

(including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Senior Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Senior Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Senior Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Senior Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Senior Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Senior Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, Rite Aid or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Senior Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Senior Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of Senior Obligations for whom such Senior Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.
 
SECTION 4.02  Rights as a Senior Secured Party.
 
The Person serving as the Senior Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Senior Secured Party under any Series of Senior Obligations that it holds as any other Senior Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Senior Collateral Agent and the term “Senior Secured Party” or “Senior Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Senior Loan Secured Party”, “Senior Loan Secured Parties”, “Additional Senior Debt Party” or “Additional Senior Debt Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Senior Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Rite Aid or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Senior Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Senior Secured Party.
 
SECTION 4.03  Exculpatory Provisions.
 
(a)  The Senior Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Senior Collateral Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Senior Collateral Agent:
 
 
(i)
shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
 
(ii)
shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Senior Collateral Documents that the Senior Collateral Agent is required to exercise as
 

 
 
 

 
    directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative; provided that the Senior Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Senior Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Senior Collateral Document or applicable law;
     
 
(iii)
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Senior Collateral Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Rite Aid or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Senior Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
 
 
(iv)
shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of Rite Aid stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Senior Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of Senior Obligations unless and until notice describing such Event Default is given to the Senior Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such Senior Obligations or Rite Aid; and
 
 
(v)
shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Senior Collateral Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or event of default under any Senior Debt Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Senior Collateral Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Senior Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Senior Collateral for any Series of Senior Obligations, or (i) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Senior Debt Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent.
 
SECTION 4.04  Reliance by Senior Collateral Agent.
 
The Senior Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or
 

 
 
 

intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Senior Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Senior Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Rite Aid), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
SECTION 4.05  Delegation of Duties.
 
The Senior Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Senior Collateral Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Senior Collateral Agent. The Senior Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Senior Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.
 
SECTION 4.06  Resignation of Senior Collateral Agent.
 
The Senior Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Senior Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Senior Collateral Documents to each Authorized Representative and Rite Aid.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right, in consultation with Rite Aid, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Senior Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Senior Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, appoint a successor Senior Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Senior Collateral Agent shall notify Rite Aid and each Authorized Representative that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Senior Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Senior Collateral Documents (except that in the case of any Senior Collateral security held by the Senior Collateral Agent on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties under any of the Senior Collateral Documents, the retiring Senior Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Senior Collateral security solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the Senior Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Senior Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Senior Secured Parties) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Senior Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative appoints a successor Senior Collateral Agent as provided for above in this
 

 
 
 

Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Senior Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Senior Collateral Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Senior Collateral Agent, and the retiring Senior Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Senior Collateral Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  After the retiring Senior Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Senior Collateral Documents, the provisions of this Article and Article VIII of the Senior Credit Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Additional Senior Debt Facility shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Senior Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Senior Collateral Agent was acting as Senior Collateral Agent.  Upon any notice of resignation of the Senior Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Senior Collateral Documents, Rite Aid agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (and maintain the validity and priority of) the Liens in favor of the retiring Senior Collateral Agent under the Senior Collateral Documents to the successor Senior Collateral Agent.
 
SECTION 4.07  Non-Reliance on Senior Collateral Agent and other Senior Secured Parties.
 
Each Senior Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Senior Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Senior Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Senior Debt Documents.  Each Senior Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Senior Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Senior Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Senior Debt Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
SECTION 4.08  Senior Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
 
Each of the Senior Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Senior Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
 
(a)  to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Senior Collateral Agent under any Senior Collateral Document in accordance with Section 2.04 or upon receipt of a written request from Rite Aid stating that the release of such Lien is permitted by the terms of each then extant Senior Debt Document;
 
(b)  to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents upon receipt of a written request from Rite Aid stating that such release is permitted by the terms of each then extant Senior Debt Document.

(ii)
Rite Aid shall have delivered to the Senior Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee true and complete copies of each of the Senior Debt Documents relating to such Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Financial Officer of Rite Aid;
 

 
 
 

 
(iii)
all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Senior Collateral Documents necessary or desirable in the reasonable judgment of the Senior Collateral Agent to confirm and perfect the Senior Liens securing the relevant Senior Obligations relating to such Senior Class Debt shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Senior Collateral Agent), and all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid;
 
 
(iv)
the Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Senior Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Collateral Agent, that each Senior Class Debt Party with respect to such Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Senior Class Debt; and

B.  As a condition to the ability of Rite Aid to issue Additional Senior Debt and to secure such Senior Class Debt with the Senior Lien and to have such Senior Class Debt guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors on a senior basis, in each case under and pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents, the Senior Class Debt Representative in respect of such Senior Class Debt is required to become an Authorized Representative under, and such Senior Class Debt and the Senior Class Debt Parties in respect thereof are required to become subject to and bound by, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  Section 5.13 of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Senior Class Debt Representative may become an Authorized Representative under, and such Senior Class Debt and such Senior Class Debt Parties may become subject to and bound by, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, pursuant to the execution and delivery by the Senior Class Representative of an instrument in the form of this Representative Supplement and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 5.13 of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  The undersigned Senior Class Debt Representative (the “New Representative”) is executing this Representative Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Senior Debt Documents.
 
Accordingly, the Senior Collateral Agent and the New Representative agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1.  In accordance with Section 5.13 of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Representative by its signature below becomes an Authorized Representative under, and the related Senior Class Debt and Senior Class Debt Parties become subject to and bound by, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Representative had originally been named therein as an Authorized Representative, and the New Representative, on behalf of itself and such Senior Class Debt Parties, hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Senior Representative and Authorized Representative and to the Senior Class Debt Parties that it represents as Additional Senior Debt Parties.  Each reference to a “Representative”, “Senior Representative” or “Authorized Representative” in the Senior Lien Intercreditor
 

 
 
 

Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Representative.  The Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
 
The New Representative and [Citicorp North America, Inc.], on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably (i) appoint [Citicorp North America, Inc.] as Senior Collateral Agent for purposes of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Senior Collateral Documents, (ii) authorize the Senior Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Senior Collateral Agent in the Senior Collateral Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (iii) authorize the Senior Collateral Agent to execute any Senior Collateral Documents on behalf of all Senior Secured Parties and to take such other actions to maintain and preserve the security interests granted pursuant to any Senior Collateral Documents.  The New Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Senior Collateral Agent in its capacity as such shall be acting on its behalf and on behalf of all other Senior Secured Parties.

SECTION 2.  The New Representative represents and warrants to the Senior Collateral Agent and the other Senior Secured Parties that (i) it has full power and authority to enter into this Representative Supplement, in its capacity as [agent] [trustee], (ii) this Representative Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of such Agreement and (iii) the Additional Senior Debt Documents relating to such Senior Class Debt provide that, upon the New Representative’s entry into this Agreement, the Senior Class Debt Parties in respect of such Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as Additional Senior Debt Parties.
 
SECTION 3.  This Representative Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Representative Supplement shall become effective when the Senior Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Representative Supplement that bears the signature of the New Representative.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Representative Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Representative Supplement.
 
SECTION 4.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
 
SECTION 5.  THIS REPRESENTATIVE SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
SECTION 6.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Representative Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and
 

 
 
 

enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired.  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
SECTION 7.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to the New Representative shall be given to it at the address set forth below its signature hereto.
 
By acknowledging and agreeing to this Representative Supplement, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors party hereto hereby (i) reaffirms the security interests granted pursuant to the Senior Subsidiary Security Agreement and grants a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in the Senior Collateral (as defined in the Senior Subsidiary Security Agreement), whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure the Senior Obligations and (ii) authorizes the filing of any financing statements describing the Senior Collateral in any manner the Senior Collateral Agent chooses, including, without limitation, describing such Senior Collateral as “all assets of debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,” “all personal property of debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or using words of similar import.
 

 
 
 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Representative and the Senior Collateral Agent have duly executed this Representative Supplement to the Senior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
