SECTION 2.03.                                     Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each of the Second Priority Representatives, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any of the other Senior Secured Parties or other agent or trustee therefor in any Senior Collateral, and each Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Secured Party under its Senior Facility, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the validity, extent, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of any of any Second Priority Representative or any of the Second Priority Debt Parties in the Second Priority Collateral.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Senior Representative to enforce this Agreement (including the priority of the Liens securing the Senior Obligations as provided in Section 2.01) or any of the Senior Debt Documents.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, Second Priority Representative will not assert any marshaling, appraisal, valuation, or other similar right that may otherwise be available to a junior secured creditor.

SECTION 2.04.                                     No New Liens.  (a)  Subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, (i) none of the Grantors shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Second Priority Debt Obligation unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Senior Obligations; and (ii) if any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Second Priority Obligations that are not also subject to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations under the Senior Collateral Documents, such Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party (x) shall notify the Designated Senior Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof and, unless such Grantor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets or property to each Senior Representative as security for the Senior Obligations, shall assign such Lien to the Designated Senior Representative as security for all Senior Obligations for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties (but may retain a junior lien on such assets or property subject to the terms hereof) and (y) until such assignment or such grant of a similar Lien to each Senior Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Senior Representative and the other Senior Secured Parties as security for the Senior Obligations.  To the extent that the provisions of the immediately preceding

12

sentence are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other right or remedy available to any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, each Second Priority Representative agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Debt Parties, that any amounts received by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien granted in contravention of this Section 2.04 shall be subject to Section 4.01 and Section 4.02.

(b)                                 Subject to the terms hereof, the parties hereto agree that, so long as the Discharge of Second Priority Debt Obligations has not occurred, (i) none of the Grantors shall grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property of any Grantor to secure any Senior Obligation unless it has granted, or substantially concurrently therewith grants, a Lien on such asset or property of such Grantor to secure the Second Priority Debt Obligations and (ii) if any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall hold any Lien on any assets or property of any Grantor securing any Senior Obligations that are not also subject to the Liens securing all Second Priority Debt Obligations under the Second Priority Collateral Documents, such Senior Representative or Senior Secured Party shall notify the Designated Second Priority Representative promptly upon becoming aware thereof  and until a grant of a similar Lien to each Second Priority Representative, shall be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of each Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Debt Parties as security for the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

(c)                                  The existence of a maximum claim with respect to any real property subject to a mortgage which applies to all Secured Obligations shall not be deemed to be a difference in Collateral among any series, issue or class of Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations.

SECTION 2.05.                                     Perfection of Liens.  Except for the limited agreements of the Senior Representatives pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, none of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties.  The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and shall not impose on the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives, the Second Priority Debt Parties or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the disposition of Proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.

SECTION 2.06.                                     Similar Liens and Agreements.  The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Senior Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral be identical.  In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.12, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a)                                 upon request by Designated Senior Representative or Designated Second Priority Representative, 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 Senior Collateral and the Second Priority 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 Senior Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents; and

(b)                                 that the Senior Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents and guarantees for the Senior Debt Documents and the Second Priority Debt Documents, shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first lien and the second lien nature thereof.

14

Party may bid for or purchase Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon any Collateral initiated by any Senior Secured Party or any sale of Collateral during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding; provided that such bid may not include a “credit bid” in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations unless the proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the Discharge of Senior Obligations and (J) from and after the Second Priority Enforcement Date, the Designated Second Priority Representative (or a person authorized by it) may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Shared Collateral in respect of any Second Priority Debt Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure).  In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Collateral, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the Senior 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 sell or otherwise dispose of Shared Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(c)                                  Subject to Sections 3.01(a) and 5.04 and Article VI, (i) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that neither such Second Priority Representative nor any such Second Priority Debt Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Shared Collateral under the Senior Debt Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Second Priority Debt Party may have as a junior lien creditor to object to the manner in which the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Debt Parties.

(d)                                 Each Second Priority Representative hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Second Priority Debt Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.

(e)                                  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, except as expressly provided in Section 3.01(a), the Designated Senior Representative (or any person authorized by it) shall have the

15

exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Shared Collateral and shall have the exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto.  Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations or from and after the Second Priority Enforcement Date, the Designated Second Priority Representative (or any person authorized by it) who may be instructed by the Second Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Second Priority Representative (or any person authorized by it) who may be instructed by the Second Priority Majority Representatives shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Second Priority Representatives, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Second Priority Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Second Priority Representative or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations or from and after the Second Priority Enforcement Date as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Second Priority Debt Parties or the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

SECTION 3.02.                                     Cooperation.  Subject to Section 3.01(a) and Article VI, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Senior Representatives upon the request of the Designated Senior Representative) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Shared Collateral under any of the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations.

SECTION 3.03.                                     Actions upon Breach.  Should any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to take or threaten to take any action with respect to the Shared Collateral (including any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party (in its or their own name or in the name of a Borrower or any other Grantor) or a Borrower may obtain relief against such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby (i) agrees that the Senior Secured Parties’ damages from the actions of the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and waives any defense that a Borrower, any other Grantor or the Senior Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages and (ii) irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action that may be brought by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party.

16

Shared Collateral upon the exercise of remedies or (ii) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be applied by the Designated Senior Representative to the Senior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Debt Documents until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.  Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall deliver promptly to the Designated Second Priority Representative any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Designated Second Priority Representative to the Second Priority Debt Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Priority Debt Documents.

SECTION 4.02.                                     Payments Over.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred or, thereafter, with respect to any Excess Second Priority Obligations, any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party in connection with (i) the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Shared Collateral or (ii) any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, shall in each case be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  The Designated Senior Representative is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Second Priority Representatives or any such Second Priority Debt Party.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Other Agreements

SECTION 5.01.                                     Releases.

(a)                                 Subject to Article VI, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, if in connection with (i) any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shared Collateral by any Grantor (other than in connection with any enforcement or exercise of rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding which shall be governed by clause (ii)) permitted under the terms of the Senior Debt Documents or consented to by the holders of Senior Obligations under the Senior Debt Documents and permitted under the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents or consented to by the holders of Second Priority Debt Obligations (other than (A) in connection with the Discharge of Senior Obligations or (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Second Priority Debt Documents) or (ii) the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to the Shared Collateral or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, including any sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral so long as net proceeds of any such Collateral are applied to reduce permanently the Senior Obligations and so long as the Second Priority Debt Parties shall retain a Lien on the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies by the Senior Secured Parties (to the extent that such proceeds are not applied to the Senior Obligations), the Designated Senior Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Senior Secured Parties releases any of the Senior Liens on  the Shared Collateral (a “Release”), then the Liens (other than the Lien on the proceeds thereof to the extent provided above in this sentence) on such Shared Collateral securing any Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and each Second Priority Representative shall, for itself and on behalf of the other applicable Second Priority Class Debt Parties, promptly execute and deliver to the Designated Senior Representative and the applicable Grantors such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Designated Senior Representative or any applicable Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such Release.  Similarly, if the equity interests of

17

any Person are foreclosed upon or otherwise disposed of pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above and in connection therewith the Designated Senior Representative releases the Senior Liens on the property or assets of such Person or releases such Person from its guarantee of Senior Obligations, then the Second Priority Lien on such property or assets of such Person and such Person’s guarantee of Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be automatically released to the same extent.  Nothing in this Section 5.01(a) will be deemed to affect any agreement of a Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under its Second Priority Debt Facility, to release the Liens on the Second Priority Collateral as set forth in the relevant Second Priority Debt Documents.

(b)                                 Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Designated Senior Representative and any officer or agent of the Designated Senior Representative, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Debt Party or in the Designated Senior Representative’s own name, from time to time in the Designated Senior Representative’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 5.01(a), to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of Section 5.01(a), including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(c)                                  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after an Event of Default (as defined in any Senior Debt Document) of Proceeds of Shared Collateral released in accordance with this Section 5.01 to the repayment of Senior Obligations pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, provided that nothing in this Section 5.01(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority Representatives or the Second Priority Debt Parties to receive Proceeds in connection with the Second Priority Debt Obligations not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Second Priority Collateral Document, in the event the terms of a Senior Collateral Document and a Second Priority Collateral Document each require any Grantor to (i) make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) register ownership of any item of Shared Collateral in the name of or make an assignment of ownership of any Shared Collateral or the rights thereunder to, (iv) cause any securities intermediary, commodity intermediary or other Person acting in a similar capacity to agree to comply, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, with instructions or orders from, or to treat, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, as the entitlement holder, (v) hold any item of Shared Collateral in trust for (to the extent such item of Shared Collateral cannot be held in trust for multiple parties under applicable law), (vi) obtain the agreement of a bailee or other third party to hold any item of Shared Collateral for the benefit of or subject to the control of or, in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, to follow the instructions of or (vii) obtain the agreement of a landlord with respect to access to leased premises where any item of Shared Collateral is located or waivers or subordination of rights with respect to any item of Shared Collateral in favor of, in any case, both the Designated Senior Representative and any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party, such Grantor may, until the applicable Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, comply with such requirement under the Second Priority Collateral Document as it relates to such Shared Collateral by taking any of the actions set forth above only with respect to, or in favor of, the Designated Senior Representative.

SECTION 5.02.                                     Insurance and Condemnation Awards.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Designated Senior Representative and the Senior

18

Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents, (a) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (b) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral, in each case in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents.  Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award, if in respect of the Shared Collateral, shall be paid (i) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Senior Representative for the benefit of Senior Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, (ii) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations, to the Designated Second Priority Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Debt Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Debt Documents, and (iii) third, if no Second Priority Debt Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  If any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such Proceeds over to the Designated Senior Representative in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.

SECTION 5.03.                                     Amendments to Debt Documents.

(a)                                 The Senior Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Senior Debt Obligations may be Refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Second Priority Majority Representatives, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications or Refinancings) shall (i) contravene any provision of this Agreement or (ii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Obligations that comprise principal in respect of loans or notes outstanding under the Senior Debt Documents to an amount in excess of the Senior Cap, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Designated Second Priority Representative.

(b)                                 The Second Priority Debt Documents may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, and the Second Priority Debt Obligations may be Refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without the consent of any Senior Class Debt Representative or any Senior Class Debt Party, all without affecting the Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that, without the consent of the Senior Priority Class Debt Representative, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or Refinancing (or successive amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications or Refinancings) shall (i) contravene any provision of this Agreement, (ii) amend any term relating to payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations in a manner adverse to the interests of the Senior Class Debt Parties or (iii) increase the aggregate principal amount of the Second Priority Debt Obligations that comprise principal in respect of loans or notes outstanding under the Second Priority Debt Documents to an amount in excess of the Second Priority Cap, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that each Second Priority Collateral Document under its Second Priority Debt Facility shall include the following language (or language to similar effect reasonably approved by the Designated Senior Representative):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured

19

Parties (as defined in the Term Intercreditor Agreement referred to below) and the ABL Secured Parties (as defined in the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and security interests granted to Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent, pursuant to or in connection with (A) the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Number Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), 99 Cents Only Stores LLC (the “Borrower”), the Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent and (B) the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among Holdings, the Borrower, the Subsidiaries of the Borrower from time to time party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Royal Bank of Canada, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of (A) the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Intercreditor Agreement”), among Holdings, the Borrower, Royal Bank of Canada, as Administrative Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Representative for the Initial Second Priority Debt Parties, and each additional Second Priority Representative and Senior Representative from time to time party thereto and (B) the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of January 13, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement” and, together with the Term Intercreditor Agreement, the “Intercreditor Agreements”), among Holdings, the Borrower, Royal Bank of Canada, as representative for the ABL Secured Parties thereunder, Royal Bank of Canada, as representative for the Term Secured Parties thereunder, and each additional secured party and representative from time to time party thereto.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements shall govern.”

The inclusion of the foregoing language in the Second Priority Collateral Documents does not modify or impair the rights of the applicable Senior Secured Parties against the applicable Grantors.  The failure to include such language in any Second Priority Collateral Document shall not give rise to any liability on the part of any party to this Agreement with respect to such Second Priority Collateral Document.

(c)                                  In the event that each applicable Senior Representative and/or the Senior Secured Parties enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Senior Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Collateral) in a manner that is applicable to all Senior Facilities, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each comparable Second Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party and without any action by any Second Priority Representative, the Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall (A) remove assets subject to the Second Priority Liens or release any such Liens, except to the extent that such release is permitted or required by Section 5.01(a) and provided that there is a substantially concurrent release of the corresponding Senior Liens, (B) be adverse in any material respect to the Second Priority Debt Parties to a greater extent than to the Senior Secured Parties (other than by virtue of the relative priorities and rights provided for in this Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Designated Second Priority Representative or (C) impose additional duties that are adverse on any Second Priority Representative

20

without its prior written consent and (ii) written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative within thirty (30) days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof.

(d)                                 The Borrower agrees to deliver to each of the Designated Senior Representative and the Designated Second Priority Representative copies of (i) any material amendments, supplements or other modifications to the material Senior Debt Documents or the material Second Priority Debt Documents and (ii) any new material Senior Debt Documents or material Second Priority Debt Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof.

SECTION 5.04.                                     Rights as Unsecured Creditors.  The Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may as unsecured creditors exercise rights and remedies available to unsecured creditors generally against any Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law (including in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) to the extent such exercise is not inconsistent with the other provisions of this Agreement.  Except as provided in Section 4.02, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of the required payments of principal (including required mandatory prepayments to the extent any such mandatory prepayment is declined by the Senior Secured Parties), premium, interest (including interest at the default rate), fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents.  In the event any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Debt Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Representatives or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.

SECTION 5.05.                                     Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a)                                 Each Senior Representative acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession, control, or notation, 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, or notation, in the name of, such Senior Representative, or of agents or bailees of such Person (such Shared Collateral being referred to herein as the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), or if it shall at any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, the applicable Senior Representative shall also hold such Pledged or Controlled Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent applicable) for the relevant Second Priority Representatives, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(b)                                 In the event that any Senior Representative (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Shared Collateral, such Senior Representative agrees to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent

21

applicable) for the relevant Second Priority Representatives and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Second Priority Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.

(c)                                  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did not exist.  The rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties with respect to the Pledged or Controlled Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(d)                                 The Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party to assure that any of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Shared Collateral, except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05.  The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Representatives under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely to holding, controlling, or being notated on, the Shared Collateral and the related Liens referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.05 as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Section 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Uniform Commercial Code, to the extent applicable) for the relevant Second Priority Representative for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Second Priority Representative.

(e)                                  The Senior Representatives shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, and each, Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby waives and releases the Senior Representatives from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Representatives’ roles under this Section 5.05 as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Shared Collateral.

(f)                                   Upon the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each applicable Senior Representative shall, at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense, (i) (A) deliver to the Designated Second Priority Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Senior Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral, or (B) direct and deliver such Shared Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, (ii) notify any applicable insurance carrier that it is no longer entitled to be a loss payee or additional insured under the insurance policies of any Grantor issued by such insurance carrier, and (iii) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving any Grantor that the Designated Second Priority Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.  The Borrower and the other Grantors shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Senior Representative for loss or damage suffered by such Senior Representative as a result of such transfer, except for loss or damage suffered by any such Person as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party in

22

contravention of this Agreement.  No Senior Representative shall have any liability to any Second Priority Debt Party.

(g)                                  None of the Senior Representatives nor any of the other Senior Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for any obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary to any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party under the Senior Debt Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to any Second Priority Debt Party, or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising.

SECTION 5.06.                                     When Discharge of Senior Obligations Deemed To Not Have Occurred.  If, at any time substantially concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of Holdings consummates any Refinancing or incurs any Senior Obligations (other than in respect of the payment of indemnities surviving the Discharge of Senior Obligations), then such Discharge of Senior Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Senior Obligations) and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Obligations shall automatically be treated as a Senior Debt Document for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Shared Collateral set forth herein and the agent, representative or trustee for the holders of such Senior Obligations shall be the Senior Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.  Upon receipt of notice of such incurrence (including the identity of the new Senior Representative), each Second Priority Representative (including the Designated Second Priority Representative) shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (at the expense of the Borrower), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Borrower or such new Senior Representative shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new Senior Representative the rights of a Senior Representative contemplated hereby, (b) deliver to such Senior Representative, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, all Shared Collateral, including all Proceeds thereof, held or controlled by such Second Priority Representative or any of its agents or bailees, including the transfer of possession and control, as applicable, of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements and notices to depositary banks, securities intermediaries and commodities intermediaries, and assign its rights under any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Shared Collateral and (c) notify any governmental authority involved in any condemnation or similar proceeding involving a Grantor that the new Senior Representative is entitled to approve any awards granted in such proceeding.

SECTION 5.07.                                     Purchase Right.  Without prejudice to the enforcement of the Senior Secured Parties’ remedies, the Senior Secured Parties agree that at any time, one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties may request, and the Senior Secured Parties hereby offer the Second Priority Debt Parties the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding Senior Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par, plus any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the Senior Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest, fees, and expenses without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement)).  If such right is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request.  If one or more of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Senior Representative and the Second Priority Representative, subject to any consent rights of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any applicable Senior Debt Document.  If none of the Second Priority Debt Parties exercise such right, the Senior Secured Parties shall have no further obligations

23

pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such purchase event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the Senior Debt Documents and this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

SECTION 6.01.                                     Financing Issues; Asset Sales.

(a)              Subject to Section 6.01(c) below, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, if an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has commenced, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party, each as holder of a Lien on the Collateral, will not contest, protest, or object to, and each Second Priority Debt Party will be deemed to have consented to,

(1)                                 any use, sale, or lease of “cash collateral” (as defined in section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), and

(2)                                 Borrower or any other Grantor obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) if the Administrative Agent consents in writing to such use, sale, or lease, or DIP Financing, provided that

(A)                               Second Priority Representative otherwise retains its Lien on the Collateral,

(B)                               any Second Priority Debt Party may seek adequate protection as and to the extent permitted by Section 6.03 and, if such adequate protection is not granted, Second Priority Representative may object under this Section 6.01 solely on such basis,

(C)                               after taking into account the use of cash collateral and the principal amount of any DIP Financing (after giving effect to any Refinancing of Senior Obligations) on any date, the sum of the then outstanding principal amount of any Senior Obligations and any DIP Financing that in each case comprise principal in respect of loans or notes outstanding under the Senior Debt Documents or DIP Financing documentation does not exceed the Senior Cap on such date, and

(D)                               such DIP Financing and the Liens securing such DIP Financing are pari passu with or superior in priority to the then outstanding Senior Obligations and the Liens securing such Senior Obligations.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 6.01(c) below, any customary and reasonable “carve-out” or other similar administrative priority expense or claim consented to in writing by Senior Representative to be paid prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations will be deemed for purposes of Section 6.01(a):

(1)                                 to be a use of cash collateral, and

(2)                                 not to be a principal amount of DIP Financing at the time of such consent.

No Second Priority Debt Party may provide DIP Financing to a Borrower or other Grantor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Obligations, or provide any DIP Financing unless no Senior Secured Party offers to provide DIP Financing to the extent permitted under Section 6.01(a) on or before the date of the hearing to approve DIP Financing.

24

To the extent any Senior Secured Party proposes to provide DIP Financing, the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to provide up to the Specified Portion of such DIP Financing upon the terms proposed by such Senior Secured Party, provided that the Second Priority Debt Parties shall, on or after the consummation of such DIP Financing, be allowed to vote no more than the Specified Portion of the claims constituting such DIP Financing.

(c)                                  Nothing in this Section 6.01 or this Agreement limits or impairs the right of Second Priority Representative to object to any motion regarding DIP Financing (including a DIP Financing proposed by one or more Senior Secured Parties) or cash collateral to the extent that the DIP Financing or use of cash collateral does not meet the requirements of Section 6.01(a).

(d)                                 Second Priority Representative, as holder of a Lien on the Collateral and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties, will not contest, protest, or object, and will be deemed to have consented pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, to a Disposition of Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other interests under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if Senior Representative consents in writing to the Disposition, provided that either (i) pursuant to court order, the Liens of Second Priority Debt Parties attach to the net Proceeds of the Disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by Second Priority Debt Parties on such Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the Proceeds of a Disposition of Collateral received by Senior Representative in excess of those necessary to achieve the Discharge of Senior Obligations are distributed in accordance with the UCC, applicable law and this Agreement, and provided, further that the Second Priority Debt Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Shared Collateral in any such sale or disposition under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law), so long as any such credit bid provides for the Discharge of Senior Obligations.

SECTION 6.02.                                     Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or take any action in derogation thereof, in each case in respect of any Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative; provided, however, that upon the filing of any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party, each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under the Second Priority Debt Facility, may similarly seek relief from stay to exercise such Second Priority Representative’s rights and remedies in a manner consistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 6.03.                                     Adequate Protection.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Representative’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection, or (c) the payment of interest and the reasonable fees costs, or charges of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law and otherwise payable under the Senior Debt Documents or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law unless the payment of any such claim is conditioned on the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03 or in Section 6.01, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate

25

protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (other than in a role of DIP Financing provider), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien or superpriority claim on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien or superpriority claim is subordinated to the Liens securing or claims with respect to all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any reasonable “carve-out”) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any reasonable “carve-out”) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02), and (iii) in the event any Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Debt Parties under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, seek or request adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted (in each instance, to the extent such grant is otherwise permissible under the terms and conditions of this Agreement) in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Second Priority Representatives, for themselves and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under their Second Priority Debt Facilities, agree that each Senior Representative shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the claims of the Second Priority Debt Parties (and, to the extent the Senior Secured Parties are not granted such adequate protection in such form, any amounts recovered by or distributed to any Second Priority Debt Party pursuant to or as a result of any such superpriority claim so granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties shall be subject to Section 4.02).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the Senior Secured Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments, then the Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition incurred fees and expenses, and/or other cash payments (as applicable); provided that if such payments are received by any Second Priority Debt Party prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, then upon the effective date of any plan or the conclusion or dismissal of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Debt Parties will pay over to Senior Representative pursuant to Section 4.01 an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the total amount of such payments and (y) the amount necessary to achieve the Discharge of Senior Obligations.  The Senior Debt Parties reserve the right to contest any such payments to the Second Priority Debt Parties to the extent such payments are inconsistent with the terms of this Section 6.03.

SECTION 6.04.                                     Preference Issues.  If any Senior Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor),

26

because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as Proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then the Senior Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement until a Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.  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.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.05.                                     Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classifications.  Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Shared Collateral, the Second Priority Debt Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that any claims of the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect of the Shared Collateral constitute a single class of claims (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions from the Shared Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Debt Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses (whether or not allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution from the Shared Collateral is made in respect of the Second Priority Debt Obligations, with each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Designated Senior Representative amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Debt Parties.

SECTION 6.06.                                     Application.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  The relative rights as to the Shared Collateral and Proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.  All references herein to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

27

SECTION 6.07.                                     506(c) and 552 Claims.  Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) or Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any Shared Collateral.

SECTION 6.08.                                     Reorganization Securities; Voting.

(a)                                 If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Second Priority Debt Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or 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)                                 The Second Priority Debt Parties (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) may propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization of any Grantor so long as (i) such plan is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) (x) such plan provides for the Discharge of Senior Obligations or (y) the Senior Secured Parties, as a class under any such plan, vote to accept such plan of reorganization.

SECTION 6.09.                                     Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, shall not object to, oppose, or support any objection of any election by a Senior Secured Party under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law.  The Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law

SECTION 6.10.                                     Post-Petition Interest.

(a)                                 Neither the Second Priority Representative nor any other Second Priority Debt Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Senior Priority Representative or any other Senior Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest and reasonable fees or expenses subject to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

(b)                                 Neither the Senior Priority Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Priority Debt Obligations consisting of claims for post-petition interest and reasonable fees or expenses subject to Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or otherwise.

ARTICLE VII

Reliance; Etc.

SECTION 7.01.                                     Reliance.  The consent by the Senior Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Debt Documents to which the Senior Secured Parties have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to any Grantor or any Subsidiaries thereof shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges that it and such Second Priority Debt Parties have, independently and without reliance on any Senior Representative or other Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Debt Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Debt Documents or this Agreement.

SECTION 7.02.                                     No Warranties or Liability.  Each Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, acknowledges and agrees that neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Debt Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.  The Senior Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Debt Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have in the Shared Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  Neither any Senior Representative nor any other Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with the Borrower or any Subsidiaries of the Borrower (including the Second Priority Debt Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Senior Obligations, the Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) any Grantor’s title to or right to transfer any of the Shared Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03.                                     Obligations Unconditional.  All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)                                 any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document;

(b)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or

29

otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Second Priority Debt Document; provided that (i) any such increase in the Senior Obligations that comprise principal in respect of loans or notes outstanding under the Senior Debt Documents shall not increase the sum of the outstanding principal amount under the Senior Debt Documents to an amount in excess of the Senior Cap and (ii) any such increase in the Second Priority Debt Obligations that comprise principal in respect of loans or notes outstanding under the Second Priority Debt Documents shall not increase the sum of the outstanding principal amount under the Second Priority Debt Documents to an amount in excess of the Second Priority Cap;

(c)                                  any exchange of any security interest in any Shared Collateral or any other collateral or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d)                                 the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e)                                  any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, (i) any Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than as set forth in Section 5.06 hereof or other payments or performance) or (ii) any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.
