(b)  Whenever pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section any proceeds are required to be distributed to any Second Priority Representative, then the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Senior Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall effect such distribution only upon receiving written notification from the Second Priority Instructing Group as to the identities of the Second Priority Representatives entitled to receive such distribution and the amounts or percentages of such distribution to which each such Second Priority Representative is entitled and, if requested by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Senior Collateral Agent, the amount of outstanding Second Priority Debt Obligations then due and owing to Second Priority Debt Parties for which each such Second Priority Representative is acting on the basis of which such amounts to be distributed are to be determined.  Each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in, and shall not incur or have any liability as a result of, relying on such written notification received by it.
 
SECTION 4.02. Payment Provisions.  For the purposes of applying the provisions of Section 4.01, all interest, fees and other amounts to be paid on any of the Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of any Secured Document shall, as among the Secured Parties and regardless of whether any such interest, fees or other amounts are or would be recognized or allowed as a claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, be treated as due and owing on the Secured Obligations.

(ii)  to grant nondisturbance rights with respect to any lease of any Mortgaged Properties with respect to which the Senior Collateral Agent has granted nondisturbance on substantially the same terms as granted by the Senior Collateral Agent.
 
(iii)  that if all or any portion of any Mortgaged Property is a leasehold interest, (A) upon termination of any lease creating such leasehold interest (the “Original Lease”), any right of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to request a “new lease” pursuant to the terms of the Original Lease shall be junior and subordinate to the right of the Senior Collateral Agent to request such a new lease and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall not exercise any such right without the prior written consent of the Senior Collateral Agent, (B) the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall waive, surrender and give up any right either the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Debt Parties may have to redeem the premises demised by the Original Lease or to continue the Original Lease for its original term after the lessee thereunder has been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or otherwise and (C) the Senior Lien and the Second Priority Lien shall remain in force or be reinstated with the same relative priority that existed with respect to the Original Lease, and
 
(iv)  that if the holder or grantor of a Second Priority Collateral Document pays or discharges any Liens prior in right to the Lien created by the Senior Collateral Documents with funds provided by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any Second Priority Debt Party, neither the Second Priority Collateral Trustee nor any Second Priority Debt Party shall acquire, by subrogation or otherwise, any claim superior or equivalent to the Lien of the Senior Collateral Documents so long as any indebtedness secured by the Senior Collateral Documents remains outstanding.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Mortgages, if any, the Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties hereby consent to the
 
11

assignment of leases and rents to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee for the Second Priority Secured Parties that shall be contained in the Second Priority Mortgages for the purpose of securing and discharging the performance by the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, provided, however, that such assignment shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.  The Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties agree that the terms of each Senior Mortgage, if any, entered into after the 2009 Restatement Effective Date and the rights and remedies of the parties thereto shall be subject to this Agreement.  The Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Debt Parties agree that the terms of each Second Priority Mortgage, if any, entered into after the 2009 Restatement Effective Date and the rights and remedies of the parties thereto shall be subject to this Agreement and subordinated as provided herein.
 
(e)  The Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second Priority Debt Parties, acknowledge and agree with the Senior Collateral Agent, the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties that the arrangements described in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above are solely for the purpose of providing the Second Priority Debt Parties with a perfected second priority Lien in the Collateral under the Second Priority Collateral Documents and shall in no way be construed as imposing any duties or other obligations on the Senior Collateral Agent or Senior Representatives.
 
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties acknowledge and agree with the Senior Secured Parties that, at all times following a Triggering Event until the Senior Obligation Payment Date, the Senior Collateral Agent shall have the right to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with, or cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with, the Collateral as provided in the Senior Collateral Documents without regard to the security interest of the Second Priority Debt Parties therein, or any rights to which the Second Priority Debt Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of such security interest, the only obligation of the Senior Collateral Agent to the Second Priority Debt Parties in respect thereof being to deliver to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Representatives (unless otherwise directed in writing by the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or by a court of competent jurisdiction) any proceeds remaining from such sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral after the Senior Obligation Payment Date or, if the Senior Collateral Agent shall still be in possession of all or any part of such Collateral after such payment and satisfaction in full, such Collateral or such part thereof remaining, without representation or warranty on the part of the Senior Collateral Agent or the Senior Secured Parties, provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to give rise to, nor shall the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Debt Parties have, any claims whatsoever against the Senior Collateral Agent, any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party on account of any act or omission to act in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy of the Senior Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral that is permitted by the Collateral Documents (other than with respect to any claims that may arise as a result of the failure of the Senior Collateral Agent, after the Senior Obligation Payment Date, to deliver any such remaining Collateral or proceeds to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or the Second Priority Representatives).  The Second Priority Representatives, on behalf of themselves and the other Second Priority Debt Parties, agree that they shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to (A) the Senior Lien in the Collateral or (B) the Second Priority Lien in the Collateral, whether pursuant to the Second
 
12

In order for a Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement:
 
(i)  such Class Debt Representative shall have executed and delivered an instrument substantially in the form of Annex 3 (if such Representative is a Second Priority Class Debt Representative) or Annex 4 (if such Representative is a Senior Class Debt Representative) (with such changes as may be approved by the Senior Collateral Agent and such Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which it becomes a Representative hereunder, and the Class Debt in respect of which such Class Debt Representative is the Representative and the related Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;

(iii)  in the case of any Second Priority Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Second Priority Collateral Documents necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to confirm and perfect the Second Priority Lien’s securing the relevant Second Priority Debt Obligations relating to such Class Debt shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of Second Priority Collateral Trustee), and all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid;
 
(iv)  in the case of any Senior Class Debt, all filings, recordations and/or amendments or supplements to the Senior Collateral Documents necessary or desirable in the opinion of the Senior Collateral Agent to confirm and perfect the Senior Liens securing the relevant Senior Obligations relating to such Class Debt shall have been made, executed and/or delivered (or, with respect to any such filings or recordations, acceptable provisions to perform such filings or recordings have been taken in the reasonable judgment of the Senior Collateral Agent), and all fees and taxes in connection therewith shall have been paid;
 
(v)  the Second Priority Debt Documents or Senior Debt Documents, as applicable, relating to such Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, that each Class
 
27

Debt Party with respect to such Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Class Debt; and
 
(vi)  the Senior Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall have received such opinions of outside counsel to Rite Aid and such Class Debt Representative as any of them may request and such other documents relating to the matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) as any of them may reasonably request, and such opinions and other documents shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Senior Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Trustee.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Section 8.01 hereof) or in any Second Priority Collateral Document, any filings, recordations or amendments or supplements contemplated by clause (iii) or (iv) above (x) shall be subject to the prior approval of the Senior Collateral Agent, Second Priority Collateral Trustee (but only with respect to such filings, recordings or amendments or supplements contemplated by clause (iii) above) and Rite Aid and (y) in the case of any such amendment or supplement to a Second Priority Collateral Document, shall be entered into by Rite Aid, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and consented to by the Senior Collateral Agent and the relevant Class Debt Representative, but shall not require the consent or approval of any other Senior Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party, and shall become effective upon satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth above.

Bailee for Perfection.  The Senior Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, possession of Collateral pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents which is also Collateral under the Second Priority Collateral Documents, such possession is also for the benefit of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Second Priority Secured Parties to the extent required to perfect their security interest in such Collateral.  Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any additional duty on the Senior Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral or provide the Second Priority Collateral Trustee or any Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement.
 
SECTION 8.14. Restatement of Existing Agreement.  The parties hereto confirm that this Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 27, 2001, as amended and restated as of May 28, 2003,  and as further amended prior to the 2009 Amendment and Restated Effective Date (the “Original Intercreditor Agreement”), among Rite Aid, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust Company, as the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, Citicorp North America, Inc., and certain Second Priority Representatives.  In accordance with Sections 6.12 and 8.01 of the Original Intercreditor Agreement, (i) CNAI, with the consent and authority of the Majority Senior Parties, and (ii) The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as the Second Priority Representative which, by reason of the 2017 7.5% Notes and the 2016 10.375% Notes in the aggregate representing a majority of the current aggregate amount of outstanding Second Priority Debt Obligations, constitutes the sole member of the Second Priority Instructing Group, hereby consent to the execution and delivery of, and authorize and instruct the Second Priority Collateral Trustee to execute and deliver, this Agreement.

A.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement, including the Definitions Annex referred to therein.
 
B.  The Subsidiary Guarantors have entered into the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement.  Pursuant to the Senior Credit Agreement, certain Additional Senior Debt Documents and certain Second Priority Debt Documents, certain newly acquired or organized Domestic Subsidiaries of Rite Aid are required to enter into the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement.  Section 8.11 of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries may become party to the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Senior Credit Agreement in order to induce the Senior Lenders to make additional extensions of credit thereunder and as consideration for extensions of credit previously made, and in accordance with any applicable requirements of the Second Priority Debt Documents and Additional Senior Debt Documents.
 
Accordingly, the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Senior Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary Guarantor agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1.  In accordance with Section 8.11 of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement, the New Subsidiary Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder.  Each reference to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary Guarantor.  The Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
 
 

SECTION 2.  The New Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the Second Priority Collateral Trustee, the Senior Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
 
SECTION 3.  This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement shall become effective when each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary Guarantor.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.
 
SECTION 4.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
 
SECTION 5.  THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
 
SECTION 6.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired.  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
 
SECTION 7.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.02 of the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of Rite Aid as specified in the Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement.
 
SECTION 8.  The New Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to reimburse each of the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Second Priority Collateral Trustee and the Senior Collateral Agent.
