2.4 Similar Liens. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical, other than the Second Lien Carveout. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 9.8, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a) upon request by First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken or to be taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Debt Documents and the Second Lien Debt Documents; and

(b) upon request by Second Lien Agent after the Discharge of the First Lien Priority Obligations, First Lien Agent will provide written notice thereof to each bank at which any deposit account subject to a deposit account control agreement in favor of First Lien Agent is maintained.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the effect of the Second Lien Carveout, it is also understood by each of the parties that to the extent that First Lien Agent

or Second Lien Agent obtains a Lien in an asset (of a type that is not included in the types of assets included in the Collateral as of the date hereof or which would not constitute Collateral without a grant of a security interest or lien separate from the First Lien Debt Documents or Second Lien Debt Documents, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior to obtaining such Lien on such asset) which the other party to this Agreement elects not to obtain after receiving prior written notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3, the Collateral securing the First Lien Debt Obligations and the Second Lien Debt Obligations will not be identical, and the provisions of the documents, agreements and instruments evidencing such Liens also will not be substantively similar, and any such difference in the scope or extent of perfection with respect to the Collateral resulting therefrom are hereby expressly permitted by this Agreement.

SECTION 3. Exercise of Remedies.

3.1 Standstill. Until the Discharge of First Lien Priority Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders:

(a) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral); provided, however, that if a Second Lien Default has occurred and is continuing, Second Lien Agent may Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies after the passage of the applicable Standstill Period (it being understood that if at any time after the delivery of a Standstill Notice that commences a Standstill Period, all Second Lien Defaults have been waived or cured in accordance with the Second Lien Debt Agreement, Second Lien Agent may not Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies until the passage of a new Standstill Period commenced by a new Standstill Notice relative to the occurrence of a new Second Lien Default that had not occurred as of the date of the delivery of the earlier Standstill Notice; provided further, however, that in no event shall Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall have commenced prior to the expiration of the Standstill Period (or thereafter but prior to the commencement of any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Second Lien Agent with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral) and be diligently pursuing in good faith the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to all or any material portion of the Collateral;

(b) will not contest, protest, or object to any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder and has no right to direct First Lien Agent to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies or take any other action under the First Lien Debt Documents; and

(c) will not object to (and waive any and all claims with respect to) the forbearance by First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders from Exercising any Secured Creditor Remedies.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if Second Lien Agent commences the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies in accordance with clause (a) above, First Lien Agent may not

exercise any of the remedies of the type described in clauses (a) through (c) above so long as Second Lien Agent at such time has commenced and diligently is pursuing in good faith any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to all or a material portion of the Collateral, unless and until the Second Lien Obligations (other than then Excess Second Lien Obligations) shall have been paid in full.

3.2 Exclusive Enforcement Rights. Until the Discharge of First Lien Priority Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, but subject to the first proviso to Section 3.1(a), First Lien Agent and First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder. In connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, as between the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders, First Lien Agent and First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Debt Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under applicable law.

3.3 Second Lien Permitted Actions. Anything to the contrary in this Section 3 notwithstanding, Second Lien Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder may:

(a) if an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations;

(b) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholders to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies) in order to create or perfect its Lien in and to the Collateral;

(c) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding, or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of Second Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any;

(d) vote on any plan of reorganization and make any filings and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations and the Collateral;

(e) join (but not exercise any control with respect to) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by First Lien Agent to the extent that any such action could not reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder, limit, delay for any material period or otherwise interfere with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by First Lien Agent (it being understood that neither Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall be entitled to receive any proceeds thereof unless otherwise expressly permitted herein); and

(f) Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies after the termination of the Standstill Period if and to the extent specifically permitted by Section 3.1(a).

3.4 Retention of Proceeds. First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent each agrees that prior to the Discharge of the First Lien Priority Obligations, Second Lien Claimholders will only be entitled to retain proceeds of Collateral in connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Second Lien Agent that is permitted under Section 3.1(a) above and only if First Lien Agent was given an opportunity to release its Lien in and to the Collateral that is the subject of such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Second Lien Agent, with First Lien Agent receiving the proceeds of such Collateral in accordance with Section 4.1, and First Lien Agent declined to do so. Neither Second Lien Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall be permitted to retain any proceeds of Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies in any other circumstance unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Priority Obligations has occurred, and any such proceeds received or retained in any other circumstance will be subject to Section 4.2.

3.5 Non-Interference. Subject to Section 3.1(a), 3.3, and 6.5(b), Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of Second Lien Claimholders, hereby:

(i) agrees that Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would restrain, hinder, limit, delay, or otherwise interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any Disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(ii) subject to Section 3.7, waives any and all rights it or Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of Second Lien Claimholders; and

(iii) acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Debt Documents.

3.6 Unsecured Creditor Remedies. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(a), 3.5, and 6, Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Debt Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations.

3.7 Commercially Reasonable Dispositions; Notice of Exercise. First Lien Agent agrees that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by First Lien Agent with respect to Collateral subject to Article 9 of the UCC shall be conducted by First Lien Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. Second Lien Agent agrees that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by Second Lien Agent with respect to Collateral subject to Article 9 of the UCC shall be conducted by Second Lien Agent in a commercially reasonable manner.

Second Lien Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to First Lien Agent of its initial material Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies. Prior notice shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.7 if Exigent Circumstances exist, provided that such notice shall be given as soon as practicable and in any event contemporaneously with the taking of such action.

SECTION 4. Proceeds.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1 and 3.4, any Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall (at such time as such Collateral or proceeds has been monetized) be applied: (a) first, to the payment in full in cash of costs and expenses of First Lien Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, (b) second, to the payment in full in cash or cash collateralization of the First Lien Priority Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Debt Documents, and in the case of payment of any revolving loans, together with the concurrent permanent reduction of any revolving loan commitment thereunder in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, (c) third, to the payment in full in cash of costs and expenses of Second Lien Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies (to the extent Second Lien Agent’s Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies was permitted hereunder), (d) fourth, to the payment in full in cash of the Second Lien Priority Obligations in accordance with the Second Lien Debt Documents, (e) fifth, to the payment in full in cash of the Excess First Lien Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Debt Documents, and (f) sixth, to the payment in full in cash of the Excess Second Lien Obligations in accordance with the Second Lien Debt Documents. If any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral produces non-cash proceeds, then such non-cash proceeds shall be held by the Agent that conducted the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies as additional Collateral and, at such time as such non-cash proceeds are monetized, shall be applied as set forth above.

4.3 No Subordination of the Relative Priority of Claims. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, the subordination of the Liens of Second Lien Claimholders to the Liens of First Lien Claimholders as set forth herein is with respect to the priority of the respective Liens held by or on behalf of them only and shall not constitute a subordination of the Second Lien Obligations to the First Lien Obligations.

SECTION 5. Releases; Dispositions; Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Priority Obligations occurs, First Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right to make determinations regarding the release or Disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Debt Documents or in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, in each case without any consultation with, consent of, or notice to Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.

event in an amount greater than that 105% of the aggregate amount of Net Secured Hedge Liabilities and Secured Banking Services Obligations), and (iii) agree to reimburse First Lien Agent and First Lien Claimholders for all expenses to the extent earned or due and payable in accordance with the First Lien Debt Documents (including the reimbursement of extraordinary expenses, financial examination expenses, and appraisal fees). Anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that (X) the purchasing Second Lien Holders receive all or a portion of any prepayment premium, make-whole obligation or early termination fee payable pursuant to the First Lien Debt Documents in cash, (Y) all First Lien Obligations purchased by the Second Lien Holders and all of the Second Lien Obligations (other than the Excess Second Lien Obligations), including principal, interest and fees thereon and costs and expense of collection thereof (including reasonable attorneys fees and legal expenses), are repaid in full in cash, and (Z) the First Lien Debt Agreement is terminated, in each case, within 90 days following the date on which the Second Lien Holders pay the purchase price described in clauses (i)-(iii) of this paragraph, then, within 3 Business Days after receipt by the purchasing Second Lien Holders of such amounts, the purchasing Second Lien Holders shall pay a supplemental purchase price to the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders in respect of their purchase under this Section 5.6 in an amount equal to the portion of the prepayment premium, make-whole obligation or early termination fee received by the purchasing Second Lien Holders to which the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Lenders would have been entitled to receive had the purchase under this paragraph not occurred. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of First Lien Agent as First Lien Agent may designate in writing to Second Lien Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by purchasing Second Lien Holders to the bank account designated by First Lien Agent are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by purchasing Second Lien Holders to the bank account designated by First Lien Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time.

(d) Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by First Lien Agent and First Lien Claimholders as to the First Lien Obligations so purchased or otherwise and without recourse to First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder, except that each First Lien Claimholder shall represent and warrant: (i) that the amount quoted by such First Lien Claimholder as its portion of the purchase price represents the amount shown as owing with respect to the claims transferred as reflected on its books and records, (ii) it owns, or has the right to transfer to purchasing Second Lien Holders, the rights being transferred, and (iii) such transfer will be free and clear of Liens.

5.7 Injunctive Relief. Should any Second Lien Claimholder in any way take, attempt to, or threaten to take any action contrary to terms of this Agreement with respect to the

Collateral, or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder may obtain relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance, or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by Second Lien Agent that (a) First Lien Claimholders’ damages from such actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (b) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that such Grantor and/or First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. Should any First Lien Claimholder in any way take, attempt to, or threaten to take any action contrary to terms of this Agreement with respect to the Collateral, or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder (in its or their own name or in the name of any Grantor) or any Grantor may obtain relief against such First Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance, and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by First Lien that (i) Second Lien Claimholders’ damages from such actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each First Lien Claimholder waives any defense that such Grantor and/or Second Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders or Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders, as the case may be.

SECTION 6. Insolvency Proceedings.

6.1 Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of Claimholders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.2 Financing. If any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and First Lien Agent consents to the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; herein, “Cash Collateral”), on which First Lien Agent has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing provided by any one or more First Lien Claimholders under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (such financing, a “DIP Financing”), then Second Lien Agent agrees that it will consent to such Cash Collateral use or raise no objection to such DIP Financing and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are discharged, subordinated to, or pari passu with such DIP Financing, Second Lien Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to (i) the Liens securing such DIP Financing and (ii) any “carve-out” authorized by the bankruptcy court in connection with such DIP Financing provided that the amount of such “carve-out” (exclusive of amounts the DIP Financing lenders agree to allow under such DIP Financing for payment of professionals on a current basis prior to a default under such DIP Financings) is not more than $250,000; provided that (a) the principal amount of any such DIP Financing plus the outstanding principal amount of other First Lien Obligations does not exceed the First Lien Cap, (b) the interest rate and fees of any such DIP Financing are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and (c) any such DIP Financing is otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement. If First Lien Claimholders

offer to provide DIP Financing that meets the requirements set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above, Second Lien Agent 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 Liens securing the First Lien Priority Obligations. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 shall not prevent the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Claimants from objecting to any provision in any Cash Collateral order or DIP Financing documentation relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

6.3 Sales. Second Lien Agent agrees that it will consent, and will not object or oppose a motion to Dispose of any Collateral free and clear of the Liens or other claims in favor of Second Lien Agent under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Debt Agreement have consented to such Disposition of such assets, and such motion does not impair, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement, the rights of Second Lien Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (so long as the right of the Second Lien Claimholders to offset its claim against the purchase price is only after the First Lien Priority Obligations have been paid in full in cash). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Second Lien Claimholders may raise any objections to such Disposition of the Collateral that could be raised by a creditor of Grantors whose claims are not secured by Liens on such Collateral, provided such objections are not inconsistent with any other term or provision of this Agreement and are not based on their status as secured creditors (without limiting the foregoing, Second Lien Creditors may not raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) with respect to the Liens granted to Second Lien Agent in respect of such assets).

6.4 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Priority Obligations has occurred, Second Lien Agent agrees not to (a) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of First Lien Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection by the Second Lien Agent that is permitted under Section 6.5 has been denied by the court before which the applicable Insolvency Proceeding is pending, or (b) oppose any request by the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral.

6.5 Adequate Protection.

(a) In any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, Second Lien Agent agrees that no Second Lien Claimholder shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(i) any request by First Lien Agent or other First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection; or

(ii) any objection by First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(b) In any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor:

(i) if any one or more First Lien Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of Grantors) in connection with any DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral, then First Lien Agent agrees that Second Lien Agent shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from First Lien Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on such existing or future assets of Grantors), which replacement Lien, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (including those under a DIP Financing permitted under Section 6.2) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinate to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if any one or more Second Lien Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien (on existing or future assets of Grantors), then Second Lien Agent agrees that First Lien Agent shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from Second Lien Claimholders, a senior adequate protection Lien on existing or future assets of Grantors as security for the First Lien Obligations and that any adequate protection Lien on such existing or future assets securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Lien on such assets securing the First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) if any one or more First Lien Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim in connection with any DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral, then First Lien Agent agrees that Second Lien Agent shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from First Lien Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim, which administration claim, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the administration claim of the First Lien Claimholders;

(iv) if any one or more Second Lien Claimholders are granted adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim in connection with any DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral, then Second Lien Agent agrees that First Lien Agent shall also be entitled to seek, without objection from Second Lien Claimholders, adequate protection in the form of an expense of administration claim, which administration claim; if obtained, shall be senior to the administration claim of the Second Lien Claimholders; and

(v) Second Lien Agent (a) may seek, without objection from First Lien Claimholders, adequate protection with respect to the Second Lien Claimholders’ rights in the Collateral in the form of periodic cash payments in an amount not exceeding interest at the non-default contract rate, together with payment of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and (b) without the consent of First Lien Agent, shall not seek any other adequate protection in the form of cash payments with respect to their rights in the Collateral.

(c) Neither Second Lien Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall object to, oppose, or challenge any claim by First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses.

(d) Neither First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall object to, oppose, or challenge any claim by Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses.

6.6 Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of Second Lien Claimholders, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any First Lien Claimholder to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election by any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.7 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and 6.5(b), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor to any action taken by Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the assertion by Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Debt Documents.

6.8 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over, disgorge or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such Recovery. 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 from such date of reinstatement and to the extent the First Lien Cap was decreased in connection with such payment of the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Cap shall be increased to such extent.

6.9 Plan of Reorganization.

(a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, 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, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, 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.

(b) Second Lien Claimholders shall not propose or support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, First Lien Agent acknowledges that it and the First Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First Lien Debt Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Debt Agreement or this Agreement.
