Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in this Section 3.2(c) and Sections 3.2(a), 3.3 and 6.3(c)(2), the sole right of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred.

(1) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the Term Loan Credit Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Fixed Asset Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(2) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Revolving Credit Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the Term Loan Obligations or the Liens on the Fixed Asset Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations granted in any of the Term Loan Credit Documents or to any action that is not prohibited by this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Revolving Credit Claimholders; and

(3) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the Revolving Credit Facility Security Documents or any other Revolving Credit Facility Credit Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Documents.

(e) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.2(a), 3.2(d) and 3.5, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Current Asset Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents and applicable law;provided that in the event that any Revolving Credit Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Fixed Asset Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Revolving Credit Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Term Loan Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholders of payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Revolving Credit Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them, in each case in contravention of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Term Loan Credit Documents, other than with respect to the Current Asset Collateral solely to the extent expressly provided herein.

3.3Exercise of Remedies – Collateral Access Rights.

(a) The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Collateral Agent agree not to commence any Collateral Enforcement Action until the earlier to occur of (i) delivery of an Enforcement Notice to the other Agent and (ii) the date on which any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is commenced by or against any Grantor (provided that in the case of this clause (ii), the relevant Agent shall deliver an Enforcement Notice to the other Agent promptly following commencement of any such Collateral Enforcement Action). Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above, either Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, join in any judicial proceedings commenced by the other Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that neither Agent, nor the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, shall interfere with the Collateral Enforcement Actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party has the benefit of the priority Lien in accordance herewith.

(b) If the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or any agent or representative of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises, the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent of that fact (such notice, a “Notice of Occupancy”) and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall, within ten Business Days thereafter, notify the Term Loan Collateral Agent as to whether the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement (such notice, an “Access Acceptance Notice”), at which time the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent’s exercise of such access rights;provided, that it is understood and agreed that the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall obtain possession or physical control of the Mortgaged Premises in the manner provided in the applicable Term Loan Security Documents. Access rights may apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period may apply to each such parcel. In the event that the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent elects to exercise its access rights as provided in this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, that in the event that any Term Loan Claimholder exercises its rights to sell or otherwise dispose of any Mortgaged Premises, whether before or after the delivery of a Notice of Occupancy to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall (i) provide access rights to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent for the duration of the Access Period in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) if such a sale or other disposition occurs prior to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent delivering an Access Acceptance Notice during the time period provided therefor, or if applicable, the expiration of the applicable Access Period, shall ensure that the purchaser or other transferee of such Mortgaged Premises provides the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent the opportunity to exercise its access rights, and upon delivery of an Access Acceptance Notice to such purchaser or transferee, continued access rights to the Revolving Credit Facility for the duration of the applicable Access Period, in the manner and to the extent required by this Agreement.

(c) Upon delivery of notice to the Term Loan Collateral Agent as provided in Section 3.3(b), the Access Period shall commence for the subject parcel of Mortgaged Premises. During the Access Period, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees shall have a non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent free right to use, the Fixed Asset Collateral for the purpose of arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of Current Asset Collateral, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such Current Asset Collateral for sale or disposition. During any such Access Period, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees (and Persons employed on their respective behalves), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the Current Asset Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of Current Asset Collateral. The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall take proper care of any Fixed Asset Collateral that is used by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in connection with its use or occupancy of the Fixed Asset Collateral. The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall (to the extent that there are sufficient available proceeds of Current Asset Collateral for the purposes of paying such indemnity) indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control. The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to ensure that their activities during the Access Period as described above do not interfere materially with the activities of the other as described above, including the right of the Term Loan Collateral Agent to commence foreclosure of the Term Loan Mortgages, to show the Fixed Asset Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the Fixed Asset Collateral for sale.

(d) If any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or otherwise comes into force which prohibits the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then at the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent’s option, the Access Period granted to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent under this Section 3.3 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the number of days remaining as required under this Section 3.3. If the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall foreclose or otherwise sell any of the Fixed Asset Collateral, the Term Loan Collateral Agent will notify the buyer thereof of the existence of this Agreement and that the buyer is acquiring the Fixed Asset Collateral subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.4Exercise of Remedies – Intellectual Property Rights/Access to Information. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Claimholders, hereby grants (to the full extent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s rights and interests therein) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees, (a) a royalty free, rent free non-exclusive worldwide license (or sublicense, as applicable, subject to the terms of the underlying license) and lease (or sublease, as applicable, subject to the terms of the underlying lease) to use all of the Fixed Asset Collateral constituting Intellectual Property, solely to the extent necessary to complete the sale, lease transfer or other disposition of inventory and (b) a royalty free nonexclusive worldwide license (or sublicense, subject to the terms of the underlying license) (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of the Intellectual Property) to use any and all Intellectual Property, in each case, at any time in connection with its Collateral Enforcement Action;provided that the royalty free, rent free non-exclusive license (or sublicense, as applicable) and lease (or sublease, as applicable) granted in clause (a) shall immediately expire upon the earlier of (i) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all such inventory and (ii) the occurrence of the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations.

3.5Exercise of Remedies – Set Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds.

(a) The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or any Revolving Credit Claimholder exercises its rights of setoff against any Grantors’ Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts that contain identifiable Proceeds of Fixed Asset Collateral, a percentage of the amount of such setoff equal to the percentage that such Proceeds bear to the total amount on deposit in or credited to the balance of such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts shall be deemed to constitute Fixed Asset Collateral, which amount shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.3;provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any setoff by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent against any Current Asset Collateral to the extent applied to the payment of Revolving Credit Obligations.

(b) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, also agrees that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, all funds deposited in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account that is subject to an Account Agreement in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and constitutes Current Asset Collateral and then applied to the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be treated as Current Asset Collateral and, unless the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary, any claim that payments made to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent through the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts that are subject to such Account Agreements, are Proceeds of or otherwise constitute Fixed Asset Collateral are waived by the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders.

(c) The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited in a Deposit Account or a Securities Account subject to an Account Agreement in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, shall not (as between the Agents, the Revolving Credit Claimholders and the Term Loan Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral.

(iii) In the event the Term Loan Collateral Agent becomes subject to liability, or suffers any costs, damages or expenses as a result of acting in any such capacity under Section 5.4(a)(ii) for the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders, (A) the Grantors shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Collateral Agent for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9.05 of the Term Loan Agreement (but without giving effect to clause (B) of the first proviso to Section 9.05(b)) to the extent applicable and (B) in the event the Grantors fail to so pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Term Loan Collateral Agent for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses.

(iv) To the extent a junior pledge of or junior lien on any Current Asset Collateral is prohibited or unenforceable under the law of any applicable jurisdiction outside the United States, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept a Lien on any such Current Asset Collateral as sub-agent for the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Claimholders, solely for the purpose of the creation and/or perfection of Liens in such Current Asset Collateral to secure the Term Loan Obligations, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it being expressly understood and agreed that the claims of the Term Loan Claimholders in respect of such Current Asset Collateral shall be subordinated to the claims of the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of such Current Asset Collateral on the same basis as the Liens on the other Current Asset Collateral securing any Term Loan Obligations are subordinated to the Liens on such other Current Asset Collateral securing any Revolving Credit Obligations, and nothing in this Section 5.4 shall affect the status of such Collateral as Current Asset Collateral.

(v) In the event the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent becomes subject to liability, or suffers any costs, damages or expenses as a result of acting in any such capacity under Section 5.4(a)(iv) for the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders, (A) the Grantors shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9.05 of the Revolving Credit Agreement (but without giving effect to clause (B) of the first proviso to Section 9.05(b)) to the extent applicable and (B) in the event the Grantors fail to so pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, the Term Loan Claimholders shall pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent for any such liabilities, costs, damages or expenses.

(b) Neither Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Agent, to any Revolving Credit Claimholder, or to any Term Loan Claimholder to ensure that any Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the respective Agents under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to (i) holding the Pledged Collateral as collateral agent and/or bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, as provided in paragraph (d) below and (ii) holding a Lien on Fixed Asset Collateral (in the case of the Term Loan Collateral Agent) or Current Asset Collateral (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent) as sub-agent for the other Agent in accordance with this Section 5.4.

(c) Neither Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have by reason of the Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents, the Term Loan Credit Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Agent, or any Revolving Credit Claimholders or any Term Loan Claimholders.

(d) Upon the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, the Agent under the credit facility which has been discharged shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its (or its agents’) possession or control (if any) together with any necessary endorsements and without recourse or warranty,first, to the other Agent to the extent the other Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) remain outstanding, andsecond, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as the case may be, remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). Each Agent further agrees, to the extent that any other Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) remain outstanding, to take all other commercially reasonable action as shall be reasonably requested by the other Agent, at the sole cost and expense of such other Agent or the Credit Parties, to permit such other Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders, as applicable, a first-priority security interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, (i) so long as the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has not occurred, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Current Asset Collateral, as if the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and Term Loan Claimholders did not exist and (ii) so long as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has not occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Term Loan Credit Documents, but only to the extent that such Collateral constitutes Fixed Asset Collateral, as if the Liens of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and Revolving Credit Claimholders did not exist. In furtherance of the foregoing, promptly following the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, unless a New Debt Notice in respect of new Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents shall have been delivered as provided in Section 5.5 below, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent hereby agrees to deliver, at the cost and expense of the Grantors, to each financial institution depository or securities intermediary, if any, that is counterparty to an Account Agreement, written notice as contemplated in such Account Agreement, directing such financial institution depository or securities intermediary, as applicable, to comply with the instructions of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, unless the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred (as notified to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent by the Term Loan Collateral Agent), in which case, such Account Agreement shall be terminated.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(1) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any Revolving Credit Facility Security Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Collateral to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes Fixed Asset Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, such Collateral is delivered to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or (unless, pursuant to the UCC, control may be given concurrently to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Collateral Agent) “control”, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4; and

(2) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that any requirement under any Term Loan Security Document that any Grantor deliver any Collateral that constitutes Current Asset Collateral to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, or that requires any Grantor to vest the Term Loan Collateral Agent with possession or “control” (as defined in the UCC) of any Collateral that constitutes Current Asset Collateral, in each case, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent that, prior to the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations, such Collateral is delivered to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, or the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall have been vested with such possession or (unless, pursuant to the UCC, control may be given concurrently to the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent) “control”, in each case, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4.

5.5When Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations and Discharge of Term Loan Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If in connection with the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, any of the Grantors substantially concurrently enter into any Refinancing of any Revolving Credit Obligation or Term Loan Obligation, as the case may be, which Refinancing is permitted by both the Term Loan Credit Documents and the Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents, then such Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of such Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations or Discharge of Term Loan Obligations, as applicable) and, from and after the date on which the New Debt Notice is delivered to the appropriate Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the Indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or Term Loan Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under such new Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents or new Term Loan Credit Documents shall be the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New Debt Notice”) stating that any of the Grantors have entered into new Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents or new Term Loan Credit Documents (which notice shall include a complete copy of the relevant new documents (but excluding any commitment and fee letters) and provide the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the other Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as such Grantors or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral (that is Fixed Asset Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new Term Loan Credit Documents or that is Current Asset Collateral, in the case of a New Agent that is the agent under any new Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents) held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the other Agent

and addressed to the other Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders or the Term Loan Claimholders, as the case may be, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Revolving Credit Obligations under the new Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents or the new Term Loan Obligations under the new Term Loan Credit Documents are secured by property of the Grantors (or any other Subsidiary that is required to be a Grantor pursuant to the terms of the Term Loan Credit Documents) that does not also secure the other Obligations, then the other Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such property to the same extent provided in the Revolving Credit Facility Credit Documents, Term Loan Security Documents and this Agreement.

SECTION 6.Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.

(a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the other Revolving Credit Claimholders shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Current Asset Collateral on which the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Revolving Credit Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law or pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction (“DIP Financing”) then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that it will have been deemed to have consented to, and will raise no objection (nor support any other Person objecting) to, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) a judicial finding is made that it is on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financingplus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Obligations (other than Cash Management Obligations of the Revolving Credit Facility Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Facility Subsidiary Guarantors) does not exceed the sum of (I) the Revolving Credit Facility Cap Amountplus (II) $50,000,000, (iii) the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the Fixed Asset Collateral, and (iv) the terms of the DIP Financing (A) do not compel any Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document, (B) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order and (C) do not require that any Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on the Fixed Asset Collateral be subordinated to or pari passu with the Lien on the Fixed Asset Collateral securing such DIP Financing. To the extent the Liens on the Current Asset Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 6.1(a), the Term Loan Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens on the Current Asset Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any adequate protection provided to the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of the Current Asset Collateral and to any “carve-out,” including for debtors’ professionals, agreed to by the Revolving Credit Facility Administrative Agent or the other Revolving Credit Claimholders and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).

(b) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the other Term Loan Claimholders shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Fixed Asset Collateral on which the Term Loan

Collateral Agent has a Lien or to permit any Grantor to obtain DIP Financing, then the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that it will have been deemed to have consented to, and will raise no objection (nor support any other Person objecting) to, such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing meet the following requirements: (i) a judicial finding is made that it is on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financingplus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loan Obligations (other than the Term Loan Obligations in respect of Term Loan Hedging Agreements) does not exceed the Term Loan Cap Amount, (iii) the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests in the Current Asset Collateral, and (iv) the terms of the DIP Financing (A) do not compel any Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document, (B) do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order, and (C) do not require that any Lien of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent on the Current Asset Collateral be subordinated to or pari passu with the Lien on the Current Asset Collateral securing such DIP Financing. To the extent the Liens on the Fixed Asset Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with the Liens securing such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 6.1(b), the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens on the Fixed Asset Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any adequate protection provided to the Term Loan Claimholders in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral and to any “carve-out,” including for debtors’ professionals, agreed to by the Term Loan Administrative Agent or the other Term Loan Claimholders and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3).

6.2Relief from the Automatic Stay.

(a) Until the Discharge of Revolving Credit Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Current Asset Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the relevant bankruptcy court.

(b) Until the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral (other than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Section 3.3), without the prior written consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the relevant bankruptcy court.

(1) any request by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the Current Asset Collateral;

provided that (A) such adequate protection claim shall not seek the creation of any Lien over additional property of any Grantor other than with respect to property that constitutes Revolving Credit Facility Grantor Collateral and (B) if such additional property shall also constitute Fixed Asset Collateral, (i) a Lien shall have been created in favor of the Term Loan Claimholders in respect of such Collateral and (ii) the Lien in favor of the Revolving Credit Claimholders shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in this Agreement; or

(2) any objection by the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent or the Revolving Credit Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Current Asset Collateral;provided that if the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral; it being understood and agreed that (A) to the extent such additional collateral shall also constitute Fixed Asset Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall be subordinated to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and (B) to the extent such additional collateral shall also constitute Current Asset Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent shall be senior to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 6.3(a)(2), to the extent required by this Agreement.

(b) The Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(1) any request by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral;provided that (A) such adequate protection claim shall not seek the creation of any Lien over additional property of any Grantor other than with respect to property that constitutes Term Loan Collateral and (B) if such additional property shall also constitute Current Asset Collateral, (i) a Lien shall have been created in favor of the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of such Collateral and (ii) the Lien in favor of the Term Loan Claimholders shall be subordinated to the extent set forth in this Agreement; or

(2) any objection by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Term Loan Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral;provided that if the Term Loan Collateral Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral, the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral; it being understood and agreed that (A) to the extent such additional collateral shall also constitute Current Asset Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be subordinated to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and (B) to the extent such additional collateral shall also constitute Fixed Asset Collateral, the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall be senior to the Lien on such additional collateral in favor of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 6.3(b)(2), to the extent required by this Agreement.

(1) if the Revolving Credit Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the Current Asset Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Current Asset Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on Current Asset Collateral;

(2) if the Term Loan Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the Fixed Asset Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Fixed Asset Collateral) in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent on Fixed Asset Collateral;

(3) in the event the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Current Asset Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Current Asset Collateral), then the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agent may also be granted a Lien on the same additional collateral as security for the Term Loan Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Term Loan Claimholders, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations, any such use of Cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing provided by the Term Loan Claimholders (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Term Loan Claimholders as adequate protection, all on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on Current Asset Collateral; and

(4) in the event the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Loan Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Fixed Asset Collateral and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Fixed Asset Collateral), then the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Loan Claimholders, agrees that the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent may also be granted a Lien on the same additional collateral as security for the Revolving Credit Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations, any such use of cash Collateral or any such DIP Financing provided by the Revolving Credit Claimholders (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Revolving Credit Claimholders as adequate protection, all on the same basis as the other Liens of the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent on Fixed Asset Collateral.

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, both on account of Revolving Credit Obligations and on account of Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Credit Obligations and on account of the Term Loan Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of proceeds thereof.

6.11Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.

(a) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Credit Facility Security Documents and the Term Loan Security Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the Revolving Credit Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, agrees that the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders will vote as separate classes in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and that neither any Agent nor any Claimholder will seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.11, if it is held that the claims of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Fixed Asset Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Fixed Asset Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders), the Term Loan Claimholders 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, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Revolving Credit Claimholders, with the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, 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 Revolving Credit Claimholders).

(c) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.11, if it is held that the claims of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Claimholders in respect of the Current Asset Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1,

all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Current Asset Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Current Asset Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders), the Revolving Credit Claimholders 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, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Loan Claimholders, with the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Loan Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Revolving Credit Claimholders, 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 Term Loan Claimholders).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Revolving Credit Facility Collateral Agent and the Revolving Credit Claimholders, on the other hand, shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of reorganization) to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions hereof.
