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 Administrative Agents or the other Secured Parties, each Administrative Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Secured Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Secured Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.03 shall be subject to Section 4.02.

Section 2.04 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that the Revolving Facility Collateral and the Term Facility Collateral be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree:

(a) to cooperate in good faith in order to determine, upon any reasonable request by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the specific Property included in the Revolving Facility Collateral and the Term Facility Collateral, and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and the Term Facility Loan Documents;

(b) that, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agents, the Term Facility Security Instruments and the Revolving Facility Security Instruments shall, in all material respects, provide for the same grant of Liens on the Property of the Grantors other than differences resulting from an amendment, waiver, modification or supplement, entered into after the date hereof, (i) that releases or excludes any such Property from the Lien granted thereunder or (ii) that is not adverse to the Administrative Agent (or any Secured Party represented thereby) whose Security Instruments are not being so amended, waived, modified or supplemented; and

(c) that at no time shall there be any Guarantor in respect of the Term Facility Obligations that is not also a Guarantor in respect of the Revolving Facility Obligations, and vice versa.

Section 2.05 Judgment Creditors.

In the event that any Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor with respect to any Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment Lien on such Shared Collateral shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes to the same extent as all other Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.06 No Debt Subordination.

Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to subordinate in right of payment any debt claim by a Secured Party to a debt claim by another Secured Party. All debt claims of the Secured Parties are intended to be pari passu.

ARTICLE III

ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS; MATTERS RELATING TO SHARED COLLATERAL

Section 3.01 Exercise of Rights and Remedies.

(a) So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to (i) commence and maintain any Enforcement Action, and (ii) otherwise enforce the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC with respect to the Shared Collateral, under the mortgage laws and Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to the Shared Collateral, so long as any proceeds of Shared Collateral received by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent are distributed in accordance with the UCC and applicable law, and in accordance with Section 4.01, without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) in any Insolvency Proceeding, the Term Facility Administrative Agent and any Term Facility Secured Party may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Term Facility Obligations;

(ii) the Term Facility Administrative Agent may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Term Facility Liens on the Shared Collateral, provided that no such action is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(iii) the Term Facility Secured Parties may file any 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 or Liens of the Term Facility Secured Parties,

including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral or otherwise make any agreements or file any motions pertaining to the Term Facility Obligations, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(iv) the Term Facility Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors as provided in Section 3.03;

(v) the Term Facility Secured Parties may (A) present a cash bid for Shared Collateral or purchase Shared Collateral for cash at any Section 363 hearing or at any public or judicial foreclosure sale and (B) credit bid for Shared Collateral pursuant to Section 363(k) or Section 1129(b)(2(A)(ii) of the Bankruptcy Code (provided that such credit bid may only be made if the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred or will occur concurrently as a result of a cash bid for such Shared Collateral in addition to such credit bid);

(vi) the Term Facility Secured Parties shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization to the extent consistent with the provisions of this Agreement; and

Except for the Term Facility Permitted Actions, unless and until the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, the sole right of the Term Facility Administrative Agent and the other Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral shall be to receive the proceeds of the Shared Collateral, in accordance with Section 4.01, to the extent of the Term Facility Obligations, and in accordance with the Term Facility Loan Documents and applicable law. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Term Facility Secured Party or Term Facility Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

(b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such Disposition of Shared Collateral and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees to provide at least ten days’ prior written notice to the Term Facility Administrative Agent of its intention to foreclose upon or Dispose of any or all of the Shared Collateral.

(c) The Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Term Facility Security Instrument or any other Term Facility Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the rights of any Revolving Facility Secured Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Revolving Facility Loan Document with respect to the Shared Collateral will not be prejudiced or impaired by (A) any act or failure to act of any Grantor, any other Revolving Facility Secured Party or the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, or (B) noncompliance by any Person other than such Revolving Facility Secured Party with any provision of this Agreement, any Revolving Facility Loan Document or any Term Facility Loan Document. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Revolving Facility Security Instrument or any other Revolving Facility Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the other Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the rights of any Term Facility Secured Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Term Facility Loan Document with respect to the Shared Collateral will not be prejudiced or impaired by (A) any act or failure to act of any Grantor, any other Term Facility Secured Party or the Term Facility Administrative Agent, or (B) noncompliance by any Person other than such Term Facility Secured Party with any provision of this Agreement, any Term Facility Loan Document or any Revolving Facility Loan Document.

Section 3.02 No Interference.

(a) The Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, the Term Facility Secured Parties:

(i) except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, will not commence any Enforcement Action during the period of 90 days following the date on which the Term Facility Administrative Agent has delivered to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a written notice that the Term Facility Obligations then outstanding under the Term Facility Credit Agreement are currently due and payable in full (whether as a result of acceleration thereof or otherwise), so long as such payment in full (whether as a result of acceleration or otherwise) has not been rescinded; provided further, however, that (A) notwithstanding the expiration of such 90 day period or anything herein to the contrary, except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, in no event shall the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party commence an Enforcement Action with respect to any Shared Collateral, or commence, join with any Person (other than the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) in commencing, or petition for or vote in favor of any resolution for, any such

Enforcement Action, if the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party shall have commenced prior to the end of such 90 day period, 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 Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof), an Enforcement Action with respect to any material portion of the Shared Collateral (prompt written notice thereof to be given to the Term Facility Administrative Agent by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent) (the foregoing being the “Standstill Period”), and (B) after the expiration of the Standstill Period, so long as neither the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent nor the Revolving Facility Secured Parties have commenced any action to enforce their Revolving Facility Lien on any material portion of the Shared Collateral, in the event that and for so long as any of the Term Facility Secured Parties (or the Term Facility Administrative Agent on their behalf) have commenced actions to enforce their Term Facility Lien with respect to all or any material portion of the Shared Collateral to the extent not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement and are diligently pursuing such actions (it being understood that this clause shall not constitute a waiver by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties of the provisions of Article VI), neither the Revolving Facility Secured Parties nor the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall take any action of a similar nature with respect to such Shared Collateral; provided that all other provisions of this Agreement (including the turnover provisions of Article IV) are complied with; and provided further that the Standstill Period shall be tolled for so long as any automatic stay or any other stay or other order prohibiting the exercise of remedies by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Revolving Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral is in effect by operation of law or has been entered into by a court of competent jurisdiction;

(ii) will not contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party, including any Enforcement Action by any Revolving Facility Secured Party relating to the Shared Collateral;

(iii) subject to the rights of the Term Facility Secured Parties under clause (i) above, will not object to the forbearance by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party from commencing or pursuing any Enforcement Action with respect to the Shared Collateral;

(iv) will not, except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, take or receive any Shared Collateral, or any proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto, in connection with the exercise of any Enforcement Action with respect to any Shared Collateral or in connection with any insurance policy award under a policy of insurance relating to any Shared Collateral or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of condemnation) relating to any Shared Collateral;

(v) will not, except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, take any action that would, or could reasonably be expected to, hinder, in any manner, any exercise of remedies under the Revolving Facility Loan Documents, including any Disposition of any Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise; and

(vi) will not, except for Term Facility Permitted Actions, object to the manner in which the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party may seek to enforce or collect the Revolving Facility Obligations or the Revolving Facility Liens in each case with respect to the Shared Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Facility Secured Party is, or could be, adverse to the interests of the Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to the Shared Collateral, 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 marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may be available under applicable law with respect to the Shared Collateral or any similar rights a secured creditor may have under applicable law;

provided, however, that (x), in the case of clauses (i) through (vii) above, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the Liens granted on the Shared Collateral to secure the Term Facility Obligations of the Term Facility Secured Parties shall attach to any and all proceeds resulting from any such Enforcement Action or other exercise of rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral taken by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or any Revolving Facility Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement, which proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.01 and (y) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement . The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Term Facility Secured Party or Term Facility Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party from challenging or questioning the validity or enforceability of any Obligations constituting unmatured interest or the validity of any Lien relating thereto pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 3.03 Rights as Unsecured Creditors.

The Administrative Agents and the other Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise remedies against the Borrower and any Guarantor as unsecured creditors (other than the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party initiating or joining in an involuntary case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code prior to the end of the Standstill Period); provided that (a) no such action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and (b) and any judgment Lien obtained by a Secured Party with respect to any of the Shared Collateral as a result of such exercise of rights will be included in the Shared Collateral and be subject to this Agreement for all purposes. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the acceleration of the Obligations, the receipt

by the Administrative Agents or any other Secured Party of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Loan Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of an Enforcement Action or exercise of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement, in each case with respect to any of the Shared Collateral.

Section 3.04 Automatic Release of Term Facility Liens and Revolving Facility Liens.

(a) If, in connection with an Enforcement Action, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, or, any time after the expiration of the Standstill Period, the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, releases, in the case of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, any of the Revolving Facility Liens on the Shared Collateral or, in the case of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, any of the Term Facility Liens on the Shared Collateral, (in each case, a “Release”), other than any such Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent granted after the occurrence of the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations or by the Term Facility Administrative Agent granted after the occurrence of the Discharge of Term Facility Obligations, then, in the case of a Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative, the Term Facility Liens on such Shared Collateral, or, in the case of a Release by the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Liens on such Shared Collateral , as applicable, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and, in the case of a Release by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the relevant Grantor or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the relevant Grantor or Guarantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release and, in the case of a Release by the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the relevant Grantor or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the relevant Grantor or Guarantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release ; provided that any proceeds received from such Disposition in connection with an Enforcement Action taken in connection with the Revolving Facility Obligations and/or Term Facility Obligations with respect to the Shared Collateral shall be applied by the applicable Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.01.

Section 3.05 Notice of Exercise of Term Facility Liens.

Each Term Facility Lender agrees that upon termination of the Standstill Period or such longer period as provided in Section 3.02(a), so long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, if any Term Facility Lender or the Term Facility Administrative Agent or other representative of such Term Facility Lender intends to

commence any Enforcement Action, then such Term Facility Lender or the Term Facility Administrative Agent or other representative shall endeavor to deliver notice thereof in writing to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent; provided that the Term Facility Administrative Agent’s failure to give such notice under this Section 3.05 shall not create any claim or cause of action on the part of any Revolving Facility Secured Party against the Term Facility Administrative Agent for any reason whatsoever. Such notices may be given during the Standstill Period.

Section 3.06 Insurance and Condemnation Awards.

So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Revolving Facility Loan Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Shared Collateral under policies of insurance covering Shared Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Shared Collateral. All proceeds of any such policy and any such award, or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation, shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.01. Until the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, if the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, in each case with respect to Shared Collateral, it shall transfer and pay over such proceeds to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 for application in accordance with Section 4.01.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS

Section 4.01 Application of Proceeds.

Anything contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.04 and the immediately following sentence), so long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, and regardless of whether an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced, (x) any Shared Collateral or proceeds thereof received by any Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with any Disposition of, or collection on, such Shared Collateral following an Enforcement Action or (y) if any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor or any Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral then such distribution or payment, shall, in each case (provided such distribution or payment has not been received in respect of a Priority DIP Financing Lien), be applied by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to the Obligations in the following order of priority (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution or payment being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”):

(a) first, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent incurred in connection with such collection, Disposition or Enforcement Action or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (a) then due and payable to them; and

(b) second, but subject to Section 1.04, to the extent Proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (a), to the payment in full of all other Revolving Facility Obligations and Term Facility Obligations, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (b) then due and payable to them; and

(c) third, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) and (b), to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

If, despite the provisions of this Section 4.01(b), any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 4.01, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 4.01.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

Upon the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall deliver any remaining Shared Collateral and any Proceeds thereof then held by it in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, (i) to the Term Facility Administrative Agent to be applied by the Term Facility Administrative Agent to any outstanding Term Facility Obligations, or (ii) if no Term Facility Obligations are outstanding, to the Borrower or such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Section 4.02 Payment Over.

So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, any Shared Collateral, or any Proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto (together with Shared Collateral or Proceeds), received by any Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in connection with any Disposition of, or collection on, such Shared

Collateral upon the enforcement or the exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of setoff or pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) with respect to the Shared Collateral, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith transferred or paid over to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for application in accordance with Section 4.01 in the same form as received, together with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

ARTICLE V

BAILMENT

Section 5.01 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests.

(a) The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Revolving Facility Lien on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, or of agents or bailees of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Term Facility Liens granted under the Term Facility Loan Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article V, also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Term Facility Administrative Agent. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall not charge the Term Facility Secured Parties a fee for holding such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto.

(b) So long as the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Revolving Facility Loan Documents until the expiration of the Standstill Period or such longer period as provided under Section 3.02(a). The obligations and responsibilities of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent to the Term Facility Administrative Agent and the other Term Facility Secured Parties under this Article V shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Article V. Without limiting the foregoing, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to ensure that any Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors. The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent acting pursuant to this Article V or otherwise hereunder shall not, by reason of this Agreement, any other Security Instrument or any other document, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Revolving Facility Secured Party, the Term Facility Administrative Agent or any other Term Facility Secured Party.

(c) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall transfer the possession and control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse or warranty (other than a representation of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such Pledged or Controlled Collateral), (i) if the Term Facility Obligations are outstanding at such time, to the Term Facility Administrative Agent, and (ii) if no Term

Facility Obligations are outstanding at such time, to the applicable Grantor or to whomever shall be entitled thereto, in each case so as to allow such Person to obtain possession and control of such Pledged or Controlled Collateral. In connection with any transfer under clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01(d), the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees to take all actions in its power as shall be reasonably requested by the Term Facility Administrative Agent to permit the Term Facility Administrative Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Term Facility Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

(d) The Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such action requested by the Term Facility Administrative Agent that the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability for expenses or other amounts unless the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent receives an indemnity satisfactory to it from the Term Facility Administrative Agent or Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to such action.

Section 5.02 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests – Other Control Collateral (Term Facility Administrative Agent).

Each of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, each Term Facility Lender and each Revolving Facility Lender agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, such Term Facility Lender or such Revolving Facility Lender or of their respective agents or bailees (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), such Term Facility Administrative Agent, Term Facility Lender or Revolving Facility Lender, as applicable, shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Revolving Facility Liens granted under the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and the Term Facility Liens granted under the Term Facility Loan Documents, also hold such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and, in the case of a Term Facility Lender or a Revolving Facility Lender, also hold such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee for the Term Facility Administrative Agent. No obligations shall be imposed on the Term Facility Administrative Agent, any Revolving Facility Lender or Term Facility Lender by reason of this Section 5.02, and none of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, Term Facility Administrative Agent, Revolving Facility Lender or Term Facility Lender shall have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other party. No party shall be required to take any action requested by any other party that such party in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability for expenses or other amounts unless such party receives an indemnity satisfactory to it from the party requesting action. No Term Facility Lender, Revolving Facility Lender or Term Facility Administrative Agent shall charge the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent a fee for holding such Other Pledged or Controlled Collateral as bailee pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE VI

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.01 Finance and Sale Matters.

(a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations has occurred, the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Term Facility Secured Parties:

(i) will not oppose or object to the use of any Shared Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Revolving Facility 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 Revolving Facility 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 Revolving Facility Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Revolving Facility 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 the Revolving Facility Liens, the Term Facility Administrative Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, subordinate the Term Facility Liens to the DIP Financing Liens on the same terms that the Revolving Facility Liens are subordinated to such DIP Financing Liens; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Term Facility Secured Parties from proposing any other DIP Financing to any Grantors or to a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided further that (a) the foregoing shall not prohibit the Term Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility Secured Parties from objecting to any provisions in any DIP Financing to the extent providing that the DIP Financing can be rolled into an exit financing under a plan of reorganization, (b) the proposed cash collateral use or DIP Financing does not compel any Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, as applicable, (c) the proposed cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation does not expressly require the sale of all or substantially all of the Collateral prior to a default under the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, and (d) the proposed terms of any such DIP Financing (including the interest rate, fees, advance rates, and sublimits thereof) are commercially reasonable under the circumstances;

(iii) shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of additional collateral, superpriority administrative expense claims, or payments in the form of post-petition interest, fees, and/or expenses; provided that the Revolving Facility Secured Parties shall also be granted a Lien on such

additional collateral as security for the Revolving Facility Obligations and for any DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Facility Obligations shall (A) be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same terms that the Revolving Facility Liens are subordinated to such DIP Financing Liens, and (B) rank pari passu with any Liens on such collateral securing the Revolving Facility Obligations.

(b) Each of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Revolving Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties agrees that no Secured Party shall contest, or support any other Person in contesting, (i) any request by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection, by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. If, in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any Revolving Facility Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, the Term Facility Administrative Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, which Lien and/or claim will be pari passu with the Revolving Facility Liens on the same basis as the other Term Facility Liens are pari passu with the Revolving Facility Liens under this Agreement or (B) any Term Facility Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral and/or a superpriority administrative expense claim, which Lien and/or claim that is pari passu with such Term Facility Lien on the same basis as the other Revolving Facility Liens are pari passu with the Term Facility Liens as security for the Revolving Facility Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable provisions of Section 6.01(a) and (b) shall only be binding on the Term Facility Secured Parties with respect to any DIP Financing to the extent that the amount of such DIP Financing does not exceed the sum of (i) to the extent Refinanced in connection with, and included as part of, such DIP Financing, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Facility Obligations in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding, plus (ii) the lesser of (A) $25,000,000 and (B) an amount equal to 20% of the aggregate existing principal amount of the Revolving Facility Obligations outstanding in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 6.02 Reorganization Securities.

If, in any Insolvency 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 both the Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations, then, to the extent the

debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Facility Obligations and on account of the Term Facility 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.

Section 6.03 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Each of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, agrees that no Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens; provided that any such amount, if allowed or paid in such Insolvency Proceeding, allocated ratably and equally with respect to Liens securing the Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations that are valid, perfected and not avoided in such Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 6.04 Certain Waivers by the Term Facility Secured Parties.

The Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties waives any claim any Term Facility Secured Party may hereafter have against any Revolving Facility Secured Party arising out of any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in the Shared Collateral, in any Insolvency Proceeding so long as such action is not in contravention of this Agreement.

Section 6.05 Certain Voting Matters.

Each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Facility Secured Parties and the Term Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Term Facility Secured Parties, agrees that, without the written consent of the other, it will not seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding; provided, that the Term Facility Secured Party shall vote for any plan of reorganization supported by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent that results in receipt of net cash proceeds upon confirmation of such plan, which when applied in accordance with this Agreement is sufficient to achieve Discharge of the Term Facility Obligations. Except as provided in this Section 6.05, nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed, to limit the ability of either Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to vote on any plan of reorganization.

Section 6.06 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.

Each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Revolving Facility Secured Parties and the Term Facility Administrative Agent on behalf of the Term Facility Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and the Term Facility Loan

Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) the Term Facility Obligations are fundamentally different from the Revolving Facility Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.

ARTICLE VII

OTHER AGREEMENTS

Section 7.01 Matters Relating to Loan Documents.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent agrees that no Term Facility Security Instrument may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Term Facility Security Instrument would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Term Facility Administrative Agent, the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees that no Revolving Facility Security Instrument may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Revolving Facility Security Instrument would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Borrower and the Term Facility Administrative Agent agrees that the Term Facility Credit Agreement and each Term Facility Security Instrument with respect to Shared Collateral shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex I hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent acting reasonably, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Each of the Borrower and the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees that the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement and each Revolving Facility Security Instrument with respect to Shared Collateral shall contain the applicable provisions set forth on Annex II hereto, or similar provisions approved by the Term Facility Administrative Agent acting reasonably, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) In determining whether an amendment to any Security Instrument is permitted by this Section 7.01, each Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on an officer’s certificate of the Borrower stating that such amendment is permitted by this Section 7.01.

Section 7.02 Effect of Refinancing of Indebtedness under Revolving Facility Loan Documents.

If, substantially contemporaneously with the Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations (and subject to consent of the Term Facility Required Lenders to the extent

such consent is required under the Term Facility Credit Agreement), the Borrower Refinances the Revolving Facility Obligations (including an increase thereof, or any change to the terms thereof to the extent permitted by Section 7.01 hereof) and provided that (a) such Refinancing is permitted hereby and (b) the Borrower gives to the Term Facility Administrative Agent written notice (the “Refinancing Notice”) electing the application of the provisions of this Section 7.02 to such Refinancing Indebtedness, then (i) such Discharge of Revolving Facility Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, (ii) such Refinancing Indebtedness and all other obligations under the loan documents evidencing such indebtedness (the “New Revolving Facility Obligations”) shall automatically be treated as Revolving Facility Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein, (iii) the credit agreement and the other loan documents evidencing such Refinancing Indebtedness (the “New Revolving Facility Loan Documents”) shall automatically be treated as the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement and the Revolving Facility Loan Documents and, in the case of New Revolving Facility Loan Documents that are security documents, as the Revolving Facility Security Instruments for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Administrative Agent under the New Revolving Facility Loan Documents (the “New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent”) shall be deemed to be the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent for all purposes of this Agreement, (v) the lenders under the New Revolving Facility Loan Documents shall be deemed to be the Revolving Facility Lenders for all purposes of this Agreement, and (vi) the defined terms hereof that are incorporated by reference to the Revolving Facility Loan Documents shall refer to the equivalent defined terms in the New Revolving Facility Loan Documents. Upon receipt of a Refinancing Notice, which notice shall include the identity of the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrower or such New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to provide to the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent the rights and powers contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The Borrower shall cause the agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent is appointed to provide that the New Revolving Facility Administrative Agent agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. In furtherance of Section 2.03, if the New Revolving Facility Obligations are secured by Property of the Grantors that do not also secure the Term Facility Obligations, the applicable Grantors shall promptly grant a Term Facility Lien on such Property to secure the Term Facility Obligations.

Section 7.03 No Waiver by Secured Parties.

Other than as may be expressly provided herein, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit either Administrative Agent or any Secured Party from opposing, challenging or objecting to, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any action taken, or any claim made, by any other Secured Party, including any request by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for adequate protection or any exercise by an Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

Section 7.04 Reinstatement.

If, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the Obligations previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever, then the Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of the amount so rescinded 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 Secured Parties provided for herein.

Section 7.05 Further Assurances.

Each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Revolving Facility Secured Parties, and the Term Facility Administrative Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Facility Secured Parties, and the Borrower, for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries that are Grantors, 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 Revolving Facility Administrative Agent or the Term Facility Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein. The parties further agree that, notwithstanding any failure to take the actions required by the immediately preceding sentence, each Person that becomes a Grantor at any time (and any security granted by any such Person) will be subject to the provisions hereof as fully as if it constituted a Grantor party hereto and had complied with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Each Grantor party hereto agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the date hereof that is a Grantor to become a party for all purposes of this Agreement by executing and delivering either the form of Assumption Agreement (in the case of the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement) attached to the Guarantee (as defined in the Revolving Facility Credit Agreement) and the form of Joinder Agreement (in the case of the Term Facility Credit Agreement) attached to the Security Agreement (as defined in the Term Facility Credit Agreement) or another assumption agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent.

Section 7.06 Notice of Exercise of Remedies.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Revolving Facility Administrative Agent and the Term Facility Administrative Agent shall endeavor to provide advance notice to each other of an acceleration of any Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Obligations or the Term Facility Obligations, as the case may be (other than with respect to any automatic accelerations thereunder); provided, however, neither party’s failure to give such notice under this Section 7.06 shall (a) create any claim or cause of action on the part of the other party against the party failing to give such notice for any reason whatsoever or (b) impair the effectiveness of any such acceleration. Nothing contained in this Section 7.06 shall limit, restrict, alleviate, or amend any notice requirement otherwise provided in this Agreement or otherwise required under applicable law.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., .pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.

The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Revolving Facility Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Term Facility Secured Parties, on the other hand. No Person is a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Borrower, any other Grantor, any Guarantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and none of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any Guarantor may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Revolving Facility Obligations and the Term Facility Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

Section 10.13 Sharing of Information.
