Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been received (unless Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(ii)       Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the interest rate then applicable to the Loans for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

(b)      Apportionment and Application.

(i)        So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses received by Agent shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by Borrower shall be remitted to Agent and all (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv)) such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the

Loans outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(ii)       At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows:

(A)     first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(B)     second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

(C)     third, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,

(D)    fourth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

(E)     fifth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Loans  until paid in full,

(F)     sixth, ratably to pay the principal of all Loans until paid in full,

(G)     seventh, to pay any other Obligations, and

(H)     eighth, to Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.

(iii)      Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing,

such funds as it may be entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e).

(iv)      In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(v)       For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding (or which would have accrued but for the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(vi)      In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions of Section 2.3(g) and this Section 2.4, then the provisions of Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.

(c)       Reduction of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically terminate upon the making of the Loans on the Closing Date and, in any event, not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 2, 2015.

(d)       Prepayments.

(i)        Optional Prepayments. Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loans at any time in whole or in part; provided that such prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (i) in the case of any prepayments made with the proceeds of an IPO the Adjusted Applicable Premium and (A) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, a prepayment

Subject to Section 2.4(e)(ii) below, on the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (A) prepay the Loans (or the portion thereof), together with the Applicable Premium and any accrued and unpaid interest of each Lender that has accepted the Offer for Prepayment, and (B) otherwise comply with Section 2.4(e). An Offer to Prepay shall be made no earlier than 10 Business Days in advance of a Change of Control and no later than the date of such Change of Control and, if made before the occurrence of the Change of Control, may be conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making the Offer to Prepay.

(2)       Asset Sales.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, the 2017 Notes Indenture (in effect on the date hereofThird Amendment Effective Date) and the Existing ABL Credit Agreement (in effect on the date hereof) and subject to each of the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4(d)(ii)(2), on the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, Borrower shall make an Offer to Prepay and each Lender will have the right to require Borrower to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such Lender together with any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Prepayment Date pursuant to an Offer to Prepay, in an amount equal to the Net Cash

Proceeds received from such Asset Sale. Subject to Section 2.4(e)(ii) below, on the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (A) prepay the Loans (or the portion thereof), together with any accrued and unpaid interest of each Lender that has accepted the Offer for Prepayment, and (B) otherwise comply with Section 2.4(e);  provided, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, may, within 365 days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, apply such Net Cash Proceeds to an Investment permitted under this Agreement in (a) any one or more businesses (provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of capital Stock and results in Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Subsidiary of Borrower, (b) properties, (c) capital expenditures or (d) other assets that, in each of (a), (b), (c) and (d), replace the businesses, properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or are used or useful in the Permitted Business (clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) together, the “Additional Assets”); provided further that to the extent that the assets that were subject to the Asset Sale constituted ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the ABL-Notes Intercreditor Agreement), such Additional Assets shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral (and Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall promptly take such action (if any) as may be required to cause that portion of such Investment constituting ABL Priority Collateral to be added to the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Obligations. For purposes of the foregoing and determining whether assets subject to an Asset Sale constitute ABL Priority Collateral, the sale or other disposition of Stock of a Person shall be treated as a sale or other disposition of assets of such Person and assets sold shall be allocated between Notes Priority Collateral and ABL Priority Collateral (as each such term is defined in the ABL-Notes Intercreditor Agreement) in accordance with Section 3.5(c) of the ABL-Notes Intercreditor Agreement, as if the allocation therein would apply to such Asset Sale.

Pursuant to the first proviso of this subclause (2), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Cash Proceeds from the date of such commitment

so long as Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Cash Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment; provided, that if such commitment is later terminated or cancelled prior to the application of such Net Cash Proceeds, then such Net Cash Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Any Net Cash Proceeds from the Asset Sales covered by this subclause (2) that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth above will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds” and within 15 business days after the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5,000,000, Borrower shall make an Offer to Prepay an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans that are accepted for prepayment pursuant to an Offer to Prepay is less than the Excess Proceeds, Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.  After Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has applied the Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale of any Collateral as provided in, and within the time periods required by, this clause (2), Borrower may use the balance of such Net Cash Proceeds, if any, from such Asset Sale of Collateral for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(3)       Indebtedness.  On the date of the incurrence of any Indebtedness not permitted under this Agreement, Borrower shall make an Offer to Prepay and each Lender will have the right to require Borrower to prepay all or any part of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing to such Lender, together with the Applicable Premium and any accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the Prepayment Date pursuant to an Offer to Prepay. Subject to Section 2.4(e)(ii) below, on the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (A) prepay the Loans (or the portion thereof), together with the Applicable Premium and any accrued and unpaid interest of each Lender that has accepted the Offer for

Prepayment, and (B) otherwise comply with Section 2.4(e). The provisions of this Section do not constitute consent to the incurrence of any Indebtedness by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(iii)      Prepayments on Acceleration. Any payments made due to an acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9 herein (regardless of whether actually made prior to the Maturity Date) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest and the Applicable Premium.

(e)       Offer to Prepay.  

(i)        In the event that Borrower shall be required to commence an Offer to Prepay pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(ii), Borrower shall follow the procedures specified below:

(1)       Unless otherwise required by applicable law, an Offer to Prepay shall specify an Expiration Date of the Offer to Prepay, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, not less than 10 days or more than 30 days after the date of mailing of such Offer, and a Prepayment Date for prepayment of the Loans shall be within 60 days after the Expiration Date. On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall prepay the aggregate principal amount of Loans required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4(d) hereof (the “Offer Amount”), or if less than the Offer Amount has been accepted for prepayment, all Loans accepted for prepayment in response to the Offer to Prepay. If the Prepayment Date is on or after the interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be paid to the applicable Lender.

(2)       On the Prepayment Date, Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (i) prepay the Loans accepted for prepayment, together with any accrued and unpaid interest and, if applicable, the Applicable Premium.

(ii)       Any Offer to Prepay may, at Borrower’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of an Offer to Prepay made under Section 2.4(d)(ii)(1) or Section 2.4(d)(ii)(3), the consummation of such Change of Control or incurrence of Indebtedness).  If prepayment is subject to

satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such Offer to Prepay shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in Borrower’s discretion, the Prepayment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such prepayment may not occur and such Offer to Prepay may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the stated Prepayment Date, or by the Prepayment Date as so delayed.

2.5      Promise to Pay. Borrower promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Borrower shall not be required to make any prepayments on the principal of the Loans prior to the Maturity Date (or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) except as otherwise expressly required pursuant Section 2.4(d) and upon acceleration of the Obligations in accordance with Section 9.1.

2.6      Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

(a)       Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 7.00%.

(b)       [Reserved].

(c)       Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) the rate for 10-year U.S. treasury notes from time to time above the per annum rate otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and (ii) three percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.6(a).

All fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month at any time that Obligations are outstanding.

(e)       Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue.

(f)        Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided,  however, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

2.7      Crediting Payments. The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to an account designated by Agent from time to time (such account, “Agent’s Account”) or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York time). If any payment item is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day (unless Agent, in its sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.

2.8      [Reserved].  

2.9      [Reserved].  

2.10    [Reserved].  

2.11    [Reserved].

(a)        Interest Payment Dates. Interest on the Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the date on which all or any portion of the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)       Funding Losses. Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of the payment of any principal of any Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate.

(c)       [Reserved].

(d)       Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.

(i)        The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including any Changes in Law (including any changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in corporate income tax laws)) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate; provided,  however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Borrower shall not be required to make any payments pursuant to this Section 2.12(d)(i) until the LIBOR Rate as adjusted pursuant hereto is in excess of 3.00% per annum. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)). Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this Section for additional or increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the such Lender notifies Borrower of

such changes in applicable law or in the reserve requirements giving rise to such additional or increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of changes in applicable law or in the reserve requirements that are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(ii)       In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans at the LIBOR Rate or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to continue such funding or maintaining at the LIBOR Rate, the reference to the “LIBOR Rate plus 7.00%” in Section 2.6(a) shall be replaced with the “Prime Rate plus 6.00%”.

(e)       No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.

2.13      Capital Requirements.

(a)       If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by such Lender, or their respective parent bank holding companies, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding companies’ capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such

reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b)       [Reserved].

(c)       Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 2.12(d) and 2.13 shall be available to each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for issuing banks or lenders affected thereby to comply therewith.

3.      CONDITIONS; TERM OF AGREEMENT.

3.1      Conditions Precedent to the Extension of Credit. The obligation of each Lender to make its extension of credit provided for hereunder is subject to the fulfillment, to the satisfaction of Agent and each Lender, of each of the following conditions precedent, prior to or substantially concurrently with the making of such extension of credit on the Closing Date:

When all of the Obligations have been paid in full, Agent will, at Borrower’s sole expense, deliver all possessory Collateral and execute and deliver any termination statements, lien releases, discharges of security interests, and other similar discharge or release documents (and, if applicable, in recordable form) as are reasonably necessary to release, as of record, Agent’s Liens and all notices of security interests and liens previously filed by Agent.

Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, take each of the actions set forth in Schedule 5.17, no later than the time period set forth for such action in such schedule (or such later time as Agent agrees in its sole discretion). All provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all representations, warranties, covenants, Events of Default and other agreements herein and therein) shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to reflect the fact that additional time has been provided for compliance with respect to such conditions subsequent.

6.      NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

Borrower covenants and agrees that, until the payment in full of the Obligations, Borrower will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to do any of the following:

6.1      Indebtedness. Incur any Indebtedness (including any Acquired Indebtedness), except for the following:

(a)      Indebtedness of Borrower and any Guarantor if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, (i) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Borrower and its Subsidiaries would be greater than 2.0:1.0 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, and

(b)      Permitted Indebtedness.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.1, (x) the outstanding principal amount of any Indebtedness shall be counted only once such that (without limitation) any obligation arising under any Guarantees or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included and (y) except as provided above, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described above, including categories of Permitted Indebtedness and Section 6.1(a), Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall classify, and from time to time may reclassify, all or any portion of such item of Indebtedness and such Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one provision of this Section 6.1 but may be permitted in part by one such provision and in part by one or more other provisions of this Section 6.1. Notwithstanding anything to this Section 6.1 or in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”, (i) no Indebtedness shall be Incurred under any ABL Credit Agreement or the Solus Credit Agreement except pursuant to and in compliance with clause (a) or clause (b)(ii), respectively, of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” and (ii) no Solus Obligations shall be considered to be ABL Obligations and the Solus Credit Agreement shall not be considered an ABL Credit Agreement.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest on Indebtedness in the forms of additional Indebtedness or payment of dividends on Stock in the forms of additional shares of Stock with the same terms and changes in the amount outstanding due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness or issuance of Stock for purposes of this Section 6.1.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that may be outstanding pursuant to this Section 6.1 will not be deemed exceeded due to the results of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred.

None of Borrower and Guarantors will Incur any Indebtedness that pursuant to its terms is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations to at least the same extent; provided that Indebtedness will not be considered subordinate or junior in right of payment to any other Indebtedness solely by virtue of being unsecured or secured to a greater or lesser extent or with greater or lower priority.

6.2      Liens.  

(a)        Directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind on or with respect to the Collateral except Permitted Collateral Liens, and

(b)        Subject to Section 6.2(a), directly or indirectly, enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind, other than Permitted Liens, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom other than the Collateral without securing the Obligations and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (for so long as such Lien exists) equally and ratably with (or prior to) the obligation or liability secured by such Lien.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.2, (A) a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness need not be permitted solely by reference to one category (or portion thereof) of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens” but may be permitted in part under any combination thereof and (B) in the event that a Lien securing an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of one or more of the categories (or portions thereof) of Permitted Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens,” Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, divide, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify, or reclassify, such Lien securing such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies (based on circumstances existing at the time of such division, classification or reclassification) with this Section 6.2. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.2 or the definitions of “Permitted Collateral Liens” or “Permitted Liens”, no Liens shall secure the ABL Obligations, the 2017 Notes Obligations, the Solus Obligations or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof except pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of the “Permitted Collateral Liens”.

With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness.  The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common equity of Borrower or any direct or indirect payment of Borrower, the payment of dividends on preferred stock in the form of additional shares of preferred stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness.

(c)      Suspend or cease operating a substantial portion of its or their business, except as permitted pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above or in connection with the transactions permitted pursuant to Section 6.4.
