At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note, such other Global Note shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

(v) All Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global Notes or Definitive Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(vi) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the Issuer may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Issuer shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

If required by the Trustee or the Issuer, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of both (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee and (ii) the Issuer to protect the Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Note.

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser (as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code).

Notes in exchange for or in lieu of which other Notes have been authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes hereof.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes (or portions thereof) payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding (including for accounting purposes) and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09. Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Issuer or by any Affiliate of the Issuer, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith shall not be disregarded if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to deliver any such direction, waiver or consent with respect to the Notes and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or a Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Issuer or a Guarantor.

Section 2.10. Temporary Notes. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders and beneficial holders, as the case may be, of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits accorded to Holders, or beneficial holders, respectively, of Notes under this Indenture.

Section 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee or, at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar or the Paying Agent, and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall dispose of such cancelled Notes in its customary manner. Certification of the disposal of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Issuer upon its request therefor. The Issuer may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Issuer may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in

writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this Section 2.12. The Trustee shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of any such special record date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Issuer (or, upon the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail or cause to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, a notice at its address as it appears in the Note Register that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12 and for greater certainty, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 2.13. CUSIP/ISIN Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP and ISIN bers (in each case, if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP and ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer will as promptly as practicable notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP and ISIN numbers.

Section 3.01. Notices to Trustee. If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered electronically or mailed or cause to be mailed to Holders pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), an Officer’s Certificate setting forth (i) the paragraph or subparagraph of such Note and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur, (ii) the Redemption Date, (iii) the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (iv) the redemption price.

Section 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed in an offer to purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on an exchange, in compliance with the requirements of such exchange or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason, by lot or by such other method the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed or purchased in part, except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder even if not in a principal amount of at least $2,000 or an integral multiple thereof, may be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03. Notice of Redemption. Subject to Section 3.09 hereof, the Issuer shall deliver cally or mail or caused to be mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, notices of redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with Applicable Procedures, except that redemption notices may be delivered electronically or mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with Article 8 or Article 13 hereof. Notices of redemption may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be conditional.

(c) if any Definitive Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed will be issued in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;

(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;

(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(g) the paragraph or subparagraph of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called for redemption are being redeemed;

(h) the CUSIP and ISIN number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed and that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP and ISIN number that is listed in such notice or printed on the Notes; and

At the Issuer’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Issuer’s name and at its expense; provided that the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days before notice of redemption is required to be delivered electronically or mailed or caused to be mailed to Holders pursuant to this Section 3.03 (unless a shorter notice shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.

If the Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer will notify the exchange of any such redemption and, if applicable, of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes.

Section 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. A notice of redemption, if mailed in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to deliver such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 3.05 hereof, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of and accrued and

unpaid interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that Redemption Date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.

(b) If the Issuer complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph (a), on and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after a Record Date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such Record Date. If any Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph (a), interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the Redemption Date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest accrued to the Redemption Date not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Definitive Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered representing the same indebtedness to the extent not redeemed; provided that each new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. It is understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, only an Authentication Order and not an Opinion of Counsel or Officer’s Certificate is required for the Trustee to authenticate such new Note.

(e) Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through Section 3.06 hereof. Notice of any redemption whether in connection with an Equity Offering or otherwise may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent (including, in the case of notice given prior to the completion of any Equity Offering, the completion thereof). If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuer shall notify the exchange of any such notice of redemption. In addition, the Issuer shall notify the exchange of any principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes.

Section 3.08. Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make any mandatory demption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Issuer shall be required to commence an Asset Sale Offer or a Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable, it shall follow the procedures specified below.

Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

(c) If the Purchase Date is on or after a Record Date and on or before the related Interest Payment Date, any accrued and unpaid interest, up to but excluding the Purchase Date, shall be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such Record Date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable.

The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or Collateral Asset Sale Offer, as applicable.

(viii) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Trustee so that only Notes in an amount not less than $2,000 are purchased); and

(ix) that Holders whose certificated Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer) representing the same indebtedness to the extent not repurchased.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer shall maintain the offices or agencies (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar, co-registrar or Transfer Agent) required under Section 2.03 hereof where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or presented for payment and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain such offices or agencies as required by Section 2.03 hereof for such purposes.

The requirement to deliver any of the reports required pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) may be satisfied, with respect to the Holders, by the posting of such reports within the time periods specified above on Intralinks or any comparable password protected online data system requiring user identification and a confidentiality acknowledgement (the “Secured System”). If the Issuer uses the Secured System to satisfy such requirements, it shall make readily and promptly available any password or other login information relating to the Secured System to Holders of the Notes, prospective investors (each a “Prospective Investor”), security analysts who have certified to the Issuer that they are reputable security analysts employed by a reputable financial institution who regularly cover or intend to cover the Issuer and the Notes (each, a “Security Analyst”) and market makers who have certified to the Issuer that they are reputable market makers who regularly make or intend to make a market in the Notes (each, a “Market Maker”), and shall make readily and promptly available on an “Investor Relations” page on its external website contact information for being provided access to the Secured System to any Holders of the Notes, Prospective Investors, Security Analysts or Market Makers and promptly comply with any such requests for access to the Secured System. The delivery of reports to the Trustee shall be made by electronic transmission to the Trustee.

(a) within twenty Business Days after furnishing to the Trustee the annual and quarterly reports required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, and unless prohibited by applicable law, hold a conference call (which may be limited to those parties that have access to the Secured System and which may, at the Issuer’s option, be held as a single call together with investors holding other securities or debt of the Issuer) to discuss such reports and the results of operations for the relevant reporting period; and

(b) issue a press release to the Secured System no fewer than three Business Days prior to the date of the conference call required to be held in accordance with this paragraph, announcing the time and date of such conference call and either including all information necessary to access the call or directing Holders of the Notes, Prospective Investors, Security Analysts and Market Makers to access the Secured System or to contact the appropriate person at the Issuer to obtain such information.

The Issuer shall furnish to Holders of the Notes and Prospective Investors, upon their request, any information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes if it has filed (or, in the case of a Form 8-K, furnished) such reports with the SEC via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer becomes a guarantor of the Notes, the Issuer shall be permitted to satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.03 with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to such parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, failure by the Issuer to comply with any of its obligations under this Section 4.03 for purposes of clause (iii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof will not constitute an Event of Default thereunder until 90 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.

(a) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled in all material respects each and every condition and covenant contained in this Indenture during such fiscal year no Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default shall have occurred and is continuing, describing all such Defaults of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

(b) When any Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, or if the Trustee or the holder of any other evidence of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Subsidiary gives any notice or takes any other action with respect to a claimed Default, the Issuer shall promptly (which shall be no more than fifteen days after becoming aware of such Default) deliver to the Trustee by registered or certified mail or by facsimile transmission an Officer’s Certificate specifying such event and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

The Issuer shall pay or discharge, and shall cause each of its Restricted ies to pay or discharge, prior to delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate negotiations or proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment or discharge is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.

Section 4.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture and the Notes; and the Issuer and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or

advantage of any such law, and (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) covenant that they shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

(a) The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(xxiv) Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries undertaken in connection with cash management and related activities with respect to any Subsidiary or joint venture in the ordinary course of business; and

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xxv) of Section 4.09(b) hereof or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and shall only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or under Section 4.09(a) hereof; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Issue Date shall be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (i) of Section 4.09(b) hereof; and

(ii) the Issuer shall be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class shall not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (A) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (B) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

This Indenture shall not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or because it is guaranteed by other obligors.

(a) After the Issue Date, the Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(i) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration therefor received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Issuer and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing; provided that, in the case of any Asset Sale of Collateral, any such liabilities in respect of Indebtedness for money borrowed shall only be deemed to constitute cash or Cash Equivalents if such Indebtedness consists of Capitalized Lease Obligations, purchase money Indebtedness or other Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien on assets being transferred in such transaction which Lien ranks prior to the Lien, if any, on such assets securing the Notes;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and

(C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (x) $35.0 million and (y) 2.25% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale of Collateral (such Net Proceeds, “Collateral Net Proceeds”), the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(A) Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations (other than the Notes) under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), provided that, if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any such First Lien Obligations, the Issuer will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof or through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer whether or not accepted (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Collateral Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of Notes so purchased, or

(B) if the Issuer has entered into an ABL Credit Agreement and to the extent such Net Proceeds constitute proceeds from ABL Priority Collateral, Indebtedness under the ABL Credit Agreement (and to effect a corresponding reduction in commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement); or

(ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures, (C) properties or (D) acquisitions of other businesses and assets, in the case of each of (A), (B), (C) and (D) are either (i) used or useful in a Similar Business; or (ii) replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided that, in the case of clause (ii) above, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 365th day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 365-day period so long as the Issuer or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within such 180-day period; provided, further, that (x) if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Collateral Net Proceeds are applied or (y) such Collateral Net Proceeds are not actually so invested or paid in accordance with clause (ii) above by the end of such 180-day period, then such Collateral Net Proceeds shall constitute Collateral Excess Proceeds on the date of such cancellation or termination, or such 180th day, as applicable.

(c) Any Collateral Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(b) will be deemed to constitute “Collateral Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to the holders of such other First Lien Obligations (a “Collateral Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such other First Lien Obligations that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Collateral Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to Collateral Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Collateral Excess Proceeds exceed $25.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Collateral Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Collateral by making a Collateral Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Collateral Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Collateral Excess Proceeds of $25.0 million or less.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations tendered pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer is less than the Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Indenture and may retain any remaining Collateral Excess Proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and such other First Lien Obligations tendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer shall select the other First Lien Obligations to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such other First Lien Obligations tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or other First Lien Obligations will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Collateral Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Collateral Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(d) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale of non-Collateral, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(A) Obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), provided that, if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so reduce any such Pari Passu Indebtedness, the Issuer shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Notes as provided under Section 3.07 hereof or through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100.0% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100.0% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

(B) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or another Restricted Subsidiary; or

(ii) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures, (c) properties or (d) acquisitions of other businesses and assets, in the case of each of clause (a), (b) (c) and (d), are either (i) used or useful in a Similar Business or (ii) replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

provided that, in the case of clause (ii) above, an Acceptable Commitment entered into not later than such 365th day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 365-day period and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into a Second Commitment within such 180-day period; provided, further, that (x) if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or (y) such Net Proceeds are not actually so invested or paid in accordance with clause (ii) above by the end of such 180-day period, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds on the date of such cancellation or termination, or such 180th day, as applicable.

(e) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in Section 4.10(d) hereof will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all Holders and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100.0% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Issuer will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $25.0 million by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuer may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 365 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $25.0 million or less.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuer shall be deemed to have complied with its obligations under this Indenture and may retain any remaining Excess Proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the Issuer shall select such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari

Passu Indebtedness tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness will be repurchased in part or in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero.

(f) Pending the final application of any Collateral Net Proceeds or Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 4.10, the holder of such Collateral Net Proceeds or Net Proceeds may apply such Collateral Net Proceeds or Net Proceeds, as applicable, temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility, including under the Existing Credit Agreement, or otherwise invest such Collateral Net Proceeds or Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture.

(g) The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or an Asset Sale Offer, as applicable. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

The provisions of this Section 4.10 may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

(a) The Issuer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Issuer (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $7.5 million, unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Issuer or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and

(ii) the Issuer delivers to the Trustee with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Issuer approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 4.11(a).

(iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnities and reimbursements and employment and severance arrangements provided on behalf of or for the benefit of, current or former employees, directors, officers, managers, distributors or consultants of the Issuer, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(vi) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Issue Date);

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided that the existence of, or the performance by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer to the Holders when taken as a whole;

(viii) the Original Transactions, and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Original Transactions, including Transaction Expenses;

The expansion of Liens by virtue of accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interests or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, amortization of original issue discount and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currency will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Liens for the purpose of this Section 4.12.

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuer shall deliver notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the Security Register or otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Procedures with the following information:

(d) that unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(e) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes, provided that the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the expiration date of the Change of Control Offer, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(g) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered.

(h) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control; and

(i) the other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Section 4.14 that a Holder must follow.

(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuer.

Section 4.15. Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries. Prior to the ment in full of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the Issuer shall not permit any of its Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries (and non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries if such non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries guarantee other capital markets debt securities of the Issuer or any Guarantor), other than a Guarantor, a Foreign Subsidiary or a Securitization Subsidiary, to guarantee the payment of any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other Guarantor unless:

(a) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days after the guarantee of such Indebtedness, executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, providing for a Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, and joinders to the Security Documents or new Security Documents, together with any other filings and agreements required by such Security Documents to create or perfect the security interests for the benefit of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary, except, in each case, that with respect to a guarantee of Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Notes; and

(b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other applicable rights against the Issuer or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee;

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to (i) any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) guarantees of any Qualified Securitization Facility by any Restricted Subsidiary. The Issuer may elect, in its sole discretion, to cause any Subsidiary that is not otherwise required to be a Guarantor to become a Guarantor, in which case such Subsidiary shall not be required to comply with the 30 day period described in clause (a) above. After the Senior Secured Credit Facilities are paid in full, the Issuer shall cause the Notes to be guaranteed in the future by any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary (other than Excluded Subsidiaries), who shall execute and deliver documentation described above in clause (a) within the time periods set forth in this Indenture.

(a) From and after the Issue Date, if the Issuer or any Guarantor creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset that would constitute Collateral to secure any First Lien Obligations other than the Notes on a first priority basis, or a junior priority basis in the case of ABL Priority Collateral, (subject to Permitted Liens), it shall concurrently grant a first-priority (junior -priority in the case of ABL Priority Collateral) security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such property as security for the Notes and the other Obligations under this Indenture.

(b) The Issuer shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary upon execution and delivery to the Trustee of a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto to become a party to the Security Documents, as applicable, and to execute and file all documents and instruments necessary (as determined by the Issuer) to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders and the Trustee, a perfected security interest in the Collateral of such Restricted Subsidiary, in each case solely to the extent required by this Indenture and the Security Documents.

Section 5.01. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.

(a) The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(A) the Successor Company or the Issuer would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Test, or

(B) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer would be greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction;

(v) each Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, in which case Section 5.01(c)(i)(B) shall apply, shall have by supplemental indenture and other documents or instruments confirmed that its Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under this Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents; and

(vi) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture.

(b) The Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes and the Security Documents, as applicable. Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.01(a) hereof,

(i) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or amalgamate with or merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, and

(ii) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby,

in each case, so long as the other requirements of Section 5.01(a) are satisfied.

(c) Subject to Section 10.06 hereof, no Guarantor shall, and the Issuer shall not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(i) (A) such Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, as applicable, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such surviving Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Person”);

(B) the Successor Person, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s related Guarantee and the Security Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;

(D) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture;

(iii) such property or assets constitute Equity Interests of Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, which Equity Interests are sold, assigned, transferred, leased, conveyed or otherwise disposed to Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors.

(d) Subject to Section 10.06 hereof, the Successor Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, such Guarantor under this Indenture, such Guarantor’s Guarantee and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (1) merge or consolidate with or into, wind up into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or the Issuer, (2) merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof, (3) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor or (4) liquidate or dissolve or change its legal form if the Issuer determines in good faith that such action is in the best interests of the Issuer.

Upon any consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or a Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 hereof, the Successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Indenture referring to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the Successor Person and not to the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or such Guarantor, as applicable, under this Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Person had been named as the Issuer or a Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided that the predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Issuer’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 hereof.

(a) An “Event of Default,” wherever used herein, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

(i) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(ii) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Notes;

(iv) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both:

(A) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

(B) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $30.0 million or more at any one time outstanding;

(v) failure by the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $30.0 million (net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

(vi) the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof), pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(B) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law;

(C) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(vii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary)(in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof), in a proceeding in which the Issuer or any such Subsidiary or such group of Restricted Subsidiaries is to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent;

(B) appoints a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof), or for all or substantially all of the property of the Issuer or any such Subsidiary or such group of Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(C) orders the liquidation of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof);

(viii) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) (in each case determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statement of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of this Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture;

(ix) unless all the Collateral has been released from the Liens in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents, the Issuer shall assert or any Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in a court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Issuer fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Issuer has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

(x) the failure of any Issuer or any Guarantor to comply for 60 days after receipt of written notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents, except for a failure that would not be material to the whole of the Notes and without materially affecting the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

(b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (iv) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged;

(ii) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

Section 6.02. Acceleration. If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default of the type fied in clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof) occurs and is continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then total outstanding Notes by notice to the Issuer with a copy to the Trustee, in either case specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a “notice of acceleration” may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (vi) or (vii) of Section 6.01(a) hereof, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice.

Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all the Holders rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences under this Indenture (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Section 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the lateral Agent may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, the Security Documents or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer; provided that any waiver or rescission under this Section 6.04 shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder (except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as applicable) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.05. Control by Majority. Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then tal outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 6.07 hereof, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(a) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(c) the Holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(d) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(e) Holders of a majority in principal amount of the total outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Section 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this denture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as applicable), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(i) or (ii) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer for the whole amount of principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal, if applicable, and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel.

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any ceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the placement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 2.07 hereof, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.12. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes including the Guarantors), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to participate as a member in any official committee of creditors appointed in such matter and to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due to them for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any

plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.13. Priorities. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor ments, if the Trustee or the Collateral Agent collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

(a) to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Agents and their respective agents and attorneys for all amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Agents and the costs and expenses of collection;

(b) to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

(c) to the Issuer or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct including a Guarantor, if applicable.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10.0% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not investigate or confirm the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(f) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(g) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including as Collateral Agent), and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(h) Delivery of reports, information and documents (including without limitation reports contemplated under Section 4.03 hereof) to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Issuer’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s Certificates).

(i) The permissive rights of the Trustee to take certain actions under this Indenture or any Security Documents to which it is a party, shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein or therein.

Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may come the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver to Holders a notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived, or if known after 90 days, promptly thereafter. Except in the case of a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each August 1, beginning August 1 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) (but if no event described in Trust Indenture Act Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).

A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in accordance with Trust Indenture Act Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted therefrom.

Section 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuer shall pay to each of the Trustee and the eral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder as the parties shall agree in writing from time to time. Such compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all out-of-pocket disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

The Issuer and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and any predecessor trustee or collateral agent and its officers, directors, employees and agents for, and hold each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent harmless against, any and all loss, damage, claims, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by it, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture and the performance of its duties hereunder and under the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party (including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements against the Issuer or any of the Guarantors (including this Section 7.07) or defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by any Holder, the Issuer, any Guarantor or any other Person), or liability in connection with the acceptance, exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder or thereunder). The Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim of which a Responsible Officer has received written notice for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend the claim and each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred, in the case of the Trustee, by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith, or, in the case of the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent through the Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

To secure the payment obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, except money or property held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

When the Trustee or the Collateral Agent incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a)(vi) or Section 6.01(a)(vii) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.08. Replacement of Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the Trustee if:

(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof or Trust Indenture Act Section 310;

(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.

If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the Issuer’s expense), the Issuer or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, at the expense of the Issuer, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another Person, the Successor Person without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a son organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has, together with its parent, a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

(b) It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in taking the foregoing actions, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under pursuant to, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to them under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to them under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

Section 8.01. Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The Issuer may, at its tion and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof applied to all outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors with respect to the Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02. Legal Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes and Guarantees and all Events of Default cured on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (“Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes), and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture including that of the Guarantors (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same) and to have cured all then existing Events of Default, except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(a) the rights of Holders to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to this Indenture referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Issuer may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

Section 8.03. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the tion applicable to this Section 8.03, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14, 4.15 and 4.16 hereof and clauses (iv) and (v) of Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(c) and 5.01(d) and Article 12 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (“Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and the

Guarantees, the Issuer and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and the Guarantees shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Issuer’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Section 6.01(a)(iii) (solely with respect to the covenants that are released upon a Covenant Defeasance), 6.01(a)(iv), 6.01(a)(v), 6.01(a)(vi) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto), 6.01(a)(vii) (solely with respect to Restricted Subsidiaries subject thereto) and 6.01(a)(viii) hereof shall not constitute Events of Default.

(e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, the Existing Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code;

Section 8.05. Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions. Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(k) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by this Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes; provided that (a) compliance with this Indenture as so amended would not result in Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (b) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes; or

Except as provided in Section 9.01 and this Section 9.02, the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for Notes, and subject to Section 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes issued hereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof and Section 2.09 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 9.02.

Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment to Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, and upon the filing with the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall join with the Issuer and the Guarantors in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment to Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements unless such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment to Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements directly affects the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may in their discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture or amendment to Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Issuer to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver.

Without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(a) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to Section 3.09, Section 4.10 and Section 4.14 hereof);

(d) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

(h) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(i) make any change to or modify the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders, except as permitted or required by this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements;

(j) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary in any manner materially adverse to the Holders; or

(k) make any change in the provisions in the Intercreditor Agreements or this Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes.

Additionally, without the consent of Holders of at least 66 2/3% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, no such amendment, waiver or modification will release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and Guarantees.

Section 9.03. Reserved. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a

Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

The Issuer may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement, or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 120 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.

Section 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.06. Trustee and the Collateral Agent to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Issuer may not sign an amendment, supplement or waiver until the board of directors of the Issuer approves it. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be provided with, upon request, and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 14.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture or other amendment or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and that such amendment, supplement or waiver is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer and any Guarantors party thereto, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions, and such amendment, supplement or waiver complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03 hereof) and thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel shall not be required for the Trustee to execute any supplemental indenture to this Indenture, the form of which is attached as Exhibit D hereto, adding a new Guarantor under this Indenture or any supplement to the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements in connection with the same.

Section 9.07. Payment for Consent. Neither the Issuer nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or rectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Notes unless such consideration is offered to all Holders and is paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

Section 10.01. Guarantee. Subject to this Article 10, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and ly, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by

acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under the Notes). Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture or by release in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01.

If any Holder, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantees.

Each Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

In case any provision of any Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a senior secured obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counter-claim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 10.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute

a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 10, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law or being void or voidable under any law relating to insolvency of debtors.

Section 10.03. Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its authorized officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guarantee on the Notes.

If an officer whose signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

If required by Section 4.15 hereof, the Issuer shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.15 hereof and this Article 10, to the extent applicable.

Section 10.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the suer in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Issuer under this Indenture or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 10.05. Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and direct benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 10.06. Release of Guarantees. Each Guarantee by a Guarantor will provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Issuer, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required for the release of such Guarantor’s Guarantee, upon:

(a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (x) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary, (y) after the repayment in full of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, substantially all the assets of such Guarantor or (z) prior to the repayment in full of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities if such Guarantor is not at such time a guarantor of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture;

(ii) prior to the repayment in full of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.15 hereof);

(iii) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture; or

(iv) the exercise by the Issuer of its Legal Defeasance option or Covenant Defeasance option in accordance with Article 8 hereof or the discharge of the Issuer’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(b) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to such transaction have been complied with.

The Intercreditor Agreements define the relative rights, as lienholders, of holders of First Lien Obligations. Nothing in this Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreements will:

(a) impair, as between the Issuer and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest on such Notes in accordance with their terms or to perform any other obligation of the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents;

(b) restrict the right of any Holder to sue for payments that are then due and owing, in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements;

(c) prevent the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder from exercising against the Issuer or any Guarantor any of its other available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default (other than its rights as a secured party, which are subject to the Intercreditor Agreements); or

(d) restrict the right of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder: (i) to file and prosecute a petition seeking an order for relief in an involuntary bankruptcy case as to the Issuer or any Guarantor or otherwise to commence, or seek relief commencing, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law involuntarily against the Issuer or any Guarantor; (ii) to make, support or oppose any request for an order for dismissal, abstention or conversion in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; (iii) to make, support or oppose, in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, any request for an order extending or terminating any period during which the debtor (or any other Person) has the exclusive right to propose a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring or liquidation plan therein; (iv) to seek the creation of, or appointment to, any official committee representing creditors (or certain of the creditors) in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law and, if appointed, to serve and act as a member of such committee without being in any respect restricted or bound by, or liable for, any of the obligations under this Article 11; (v) to seek or object to the appointment of any professional person to serve in any capacity in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or to support or object to any request for compensation made by any professional person or others therein; (vi) to make, support or oppose any request for order appointing a trustee or examiner in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or (vii) otherwise to make, support or oppose any request for relief in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law that it is permitted by law to make, support or oppose: (x) as if it were a holder of unsecured claims; or (y) as to any matter relating to any plan of reorganization or other restructuring or liquidation plan or as to any matter relating to the administration of the estate or the disposition of the case or proceeding (in each case set forth in this clause (vii) except as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements).

Section 12.01. Security Documents. The payment of the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes when due, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise and whether by the Issuer pursuant to the Notes or by any Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee, the payment of all other Obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents and the performance of all other Obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents are secured as provided in the Security Documents and will be secured by Security Documents hereafter delivered as required or permitted by this Indenture. The Issuer shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, and each Guarantor shall, make all filings (including filings of continuation statements and amendments to Uniform Commercial Code financing statements that may be necessary to continue the effectiveness of such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and take all other actions as are required by the Security Documents to maintain (at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors) the security interest created by the Security Documents in the Collateral as a perfected security interest, subject only to Liens permitted by this Indenture, to the extent required by the Security Documents.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall have all the rights and protections provided in the Security Documents.

(b) Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms.

(c) Each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby directs the Trustee to so designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Trustee hereby so designates and appoints the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.02. The provisions of this Section 12.02 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders, the Issuer, nor any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in this Section or in Article 7. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Issuer or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.

(d) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or through its related Persons and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith.

(e) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with the any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Issuer or any Guarantor or Affiliate of the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any officer or related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture, or any Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of the Issuer or any Guarantor or any other party to this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any of the Issuer’s or Guarantors’ or Affiliates.

(f) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Issuer or any Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this or any other Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this or any other indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a responsible officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Issuer referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes.

(h) Wilmington Trust, National Association and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with the Issuer, any Guarantor and their respective Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee. The Trustee and the Holders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wilmington Trust, National Association or its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding the Issuer, any Guarantor or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Issuer or any such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Trustee or the Holders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of the Wilmington Trust, National Association to advance funds.

(i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Trustee and the Issuer, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Issuer shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent may appoint, subject to the consent of the Issuer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default), a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Issuer pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.02 and Section 7.07 shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(j) Wilmington Trust, National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(k) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (iii) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. The Holders of the Notes designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as their authorized representative under the Intercreditor Agreements and agree that the Collateral Agent acts as Notes Collateral Agent (as defined in the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The Holders agree and direct the Collateral Agent to perform its obligations as Notes Collateral Agent, including to accept directions, if any, under the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement to act or refrain from acting by the applicable authorized representative (as defined therein) even if such representative is not the representative for the Holders (and if such representative is not a representative for the Holders, to accept such directions without the consent of the Holders).

(l) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(m) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Issuer, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(n) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever to any of the Holders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Issuer or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Issuer’s or the Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or obligation to monitor the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Issuer or any Guarantor.

(o) None of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys or agents will be responsible or liable for the existence, genuineness, value or protection of any Collateral, for the legality, enforceability, effectiveness or sufficiency of the Security Documents or the Inter-creditor Agreements, for the creation, perfection, priority, sufficiency or protection of any Lien with respect to Liens with respect to First Lien Obligations, or any defect or deficiency as to any such matters.

(p) Except as directed by the Trustee or the requisite Holders as required or permitted by this Indenture, or as otherwise directed pursuant to the Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements, the Holders acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent will not be obligated:

(ii) to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien with respect to First Lien Obligations; or

(iii) to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any or all of the Liens with respect to First Lien Obligations, the Security Documents or the Collateral.

(q) If the Issuer (i) incurs ABL Obligations at any time when the ABL Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting ABL Obligations entitled to the benefit of the ABL Inter-creditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (in substantially the form as the ABL Intercreditor Agreement attached as Exhibit E hereto) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the ABL Obligations so incurred, the Holders acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to enter into such intercreditor agreement, bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(r) If the Issuer (i) incurs First Lien Obligations at any time when the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (in substantially the form as the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement in effect on the Issue Date) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations so incurred, the Holders acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to enter into such intercreditor agreement, bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(s) If the Issuer (i) incurs Second Lien Obligations at any time when the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement is not in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting Second Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate so stating and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (in substantially the same form as the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement attached as Exhibit F hereto) in favor of a

designated agent or representative for the holders of the Second Lien Obligations so incurred, the Holders acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized and directed to enter into such intercreditor agreement, bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(t) No provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or there-under. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Issuer or the Holders to be sufficient.

(u) The Collateral Agent, (i) acting in good faith shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Issuer (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(v) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(w) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Issuer or any Guarantor under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Notes Documents or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its obligations under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and any Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements and this Indenture.

(x) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral as those terms are defined in Section 101(20)(E) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 9601 et seq., as amended.

(y) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Issuer signed by an Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document and/or Intercreditor Agreement to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.02(y), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document and/or Intercreditor Agreement. Any such execution of a Security Document and/or Intercreditor Agreement shall be at the direction and expense of the Issuer, and other than in connection with intellectual property filings and joinders to existing Security Documents in connection with additional Guarantors becoming party hereto and additional Collateral being pledged pursuant to existing Security Documents pursuant to a supplemental indenture and/or joinders to existing Security Documents, upon delivery to the Collateral Agent of an Officer’s Certificate and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to the execution and delivery of the Security Document and/or Intercreditor Agreement have been satisfied. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements.

(z) Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreements and the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable.

(aa) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements.

(bb) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements and to the extent not prohibited under the Intercreditor Agreements, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.13 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(cc) In each case that Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not

be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(dd) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, any Intercreditor Agreement or any Security Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and the Collateral Agent and the Trustee make no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents, any Intercreditor Agreement or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(ee) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Issuer or the Guarantors, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 14.04. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(a) Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document and each Intercreditor Agreement, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture, authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party, appoints the Collateral Agent as its collateral agent and authorizes and empowers the Collateral Agent to bind the Holders of Notes and other holders of First Lien Obligations as set forth in the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder.

(b) The Trustee is authorized and empowered to receive for the benefit of the Holders of Notes any funds collected or distributed to the Trustee under the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and, subject to the terms of the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) without the consent of the Holders, direct, on behalf of the Holders, the Collateral Agent to take all actions to:

(i) foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any or all of the Liens with respect to First Lien Obligations;

(ii) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party; or

(iii) collect and receive payment of any and all Obligations with respect to the Notes.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, the Trustee is authorized and empowered (but shall not be obligated) to institute and maintain, or direct the Collateral Agent to institute and maintain, such suits and proceedings as may be expedient to protect or enforce the Liens with respect to First Lien Obligations or the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to which the Collateral Agent or Trustee is a party or to prevent any impairment of Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents,

the Intercreditor Agreements or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as may be expedient, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 12.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

(a) In addition to releases pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall be entitled to the releases of property and other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Notes and the Guarantees under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) to enable the Issuer or any Guarantor to consummate the sale, transfer or other disposition of such property or assets to the extent not prohibited under Section 4.10 hereof;

(ii) in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guarantee with respect to the Notes, the release of the property and assets of such Guarantor; or

(b) The security interests in all Collateral securing the Notes or the Guarantees also shall be released automatically upon (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, and premium, if any, on, the Notes and all other Obligations under this Indenture, the Guarantees and the Security Documents that are non contingent and are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid (including pursuant to Article 13 hereof) or (ii) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under Article 8 hereof.

(c) Upon the release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee or the Issuer from its obligations as referenced in Section 12.04 hereof, such Guarantor or the Issuer, and the property and assets of such Guarantor or the Issuer, shall be automatically and unconditionally released from its obligations under the Security Documents.

At the cost and request of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver instruments to evidence any release under this Section 12.04, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements have been complied with. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and notwithstanding any term hereof or in any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to execute and deliver any instruments of release, satisfaction or termination, unless and until it receives such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Lien on the Collateral created by the Security Documents securing the Obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees shall automatically be released and discharged under the circumstances set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (2) the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral created by the Security Documents securing the Obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees shall automatically be released and discharged under the circumstances set forth in, and subject to the provisions of, the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (3) to the extent in the Company’s or any Guarantor’s discretion any security interest is granted on any additional assets which are not required at any time when there are no ABL Obligations outstanding to secure the Obligations under the Notes and Guarantees on a junior priority basis to the security interests granted to secure the ABL Obligations, such as deposit accounts, then to the extent the security interests on such assets to secure the ABL Obligations are released, such assets shall not be required to be subject to security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 12.05. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the sion of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 12 upon the Issuer or a Guarantor

with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Issuer or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 12.

Section 12.06. Release upon Termination of Issuer’s Obligations. In the event (i) that the Issuer ers to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel each stating that all the Obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees have been satisfied and discharged by the payment in full of the Issuer’s obligations under the Notes, this Indenture and the Security Documents, or (ii) a discharge of this Indenture occurs under Article 13 or a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of this Indenture occurs under Article 8 or 13, the Trustee shall, upon the request of the Issuer, deliver to the Issuer and the Collateral Agent a notice provided to it stating that the Trustee, on behalf of the Holders, disclaims any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Security Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall (and direct the Collateral Agent to) do or cause to be done, at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense, all acts reasonably requested by the Issuer to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

Section 13.01. Satisfaction and Discharge. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when either:

(a) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has heretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(b) (i) all Notes not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuer, and the Issuer or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore cancelled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date (it being understood that any discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid). Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(i) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to this Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(ii) the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture; and

(iii) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuer must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied. Such Opinion of Counsel may rely on such Officer’s Certificate as to matters of fact, including clauses (b)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (i) of clause (b) of this Section 13.01, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 8.07 hereof shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors under Section 7.07 shall survive.

Section 13.02. Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer or a Guarantor acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 13.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Issuer has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default (except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee (with a copy to the Issuer, provided that any waiver or rescission under Section 6.04 of the Indenture shall be valid and binding notwithstanding the failure to provide a copy of such notice to the Issuer) may on behalf of all the Holders waive any existing Default or and its consequences under the Indenture (except a continuing Default in payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Notes held by a non-consenting Holder) (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer, a Collateral Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer, as applicable) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required within fifteen days after becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default and what action the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a)(i), 6.7 and clause (vi) of Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.

(d) Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.4 and 3.5 and Article VI, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the First Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the ABL Obligations) as the other Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the First Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, subject to the limited extent provided in Article VI, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders:

(i) will not exercise or seek to exercise (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived for the duration of the ABL Standstill Period) any rights, powers, or remedies with respect to any First Lien Priority Collateral (including (A) any right of set-off or any right under any Account Agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to undertake self-help repossession or nonjudicial disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure), or (C) any right to institute, prosecute or otherwise maintain any action or proceeding with respect to such rights, powers, or remedies (including any action of foreclosure)); provided, however, that the ABL Agent may exercise any or all of such rights, powers, or remedies after a period of at least 180 days has elapsed since the later of: (i) the date on which the ABL Agent declared the existence of an ABL Default, accelerated (to the extent such amount was not already due and owing) the payment of the principal amount of all ABL Obligations, and demanded payment thereof and (ii) the date on which each First Lien Agent received the Enforcement Notice from the ABL Agent relating to such action; provided, further, however, that neither the ABL Agent nor the other ABL Claimholders shall exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral if, notwithstanding the expiration of such 180-day period, any First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (A) shall have commenced, whether before or after the expiration of such 180-day period, and be diligently pursuing the exercise of their rights or remedies with respect to all or any material portion of such First Lien Priority Collateral (prompt written notice of such exercise to be given to the ABL Agent) or (B) shall have been stayed by operation of law or by any court order from pursuing any such exercise of remedies (the period during which the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders may not pursuant to this Section 3.2(a)(i) exercise any rights or remedies with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, the “ABL Standstill Period”); provided, finally, however, that the ABL Agent, independent in all respects of the preceding provisos, may exercise the rights provided for in Section 3.3 (with respect to any Access Period) and Section 3.4 (with respect to any Access Period or Use Period);

(ii) will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest or object to or hinder any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding or action (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure) brought by any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder relating to the First Lien Priority Collateral or any other exercise by any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder of any rights, powers and remedies relating to the First Lien Priority Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other disposition of the First Lien Priority Collateral, whether under the First Lien Documents, applicable law, or otherwise, subject in each case to the First Lien Agents’ and the other First Lien Claimholders’ obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5;

(iii) subject to Section 3.2(c), will not object to the forbearance by any First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral;

(iv) subject to Sections 3.2(c), 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waive any and all rights the ABL Agent and ABL Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection) to the manner in which any First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (a) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the First Lien Obligations or (b) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to the First Lien Priority Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agents or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the ABL Claimholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior to or subsequent to any disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such disposition of First Lien Priority Collateral (a) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (b) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral; and

(v) subject to Sections 3.2(a) and (c) and Sections 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the ABL Security Documents or any other ABL Loan Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents;

provided, however, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the ABL Obligations of the ABL Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off and the right to credit bid their debt) and make, in connection therewith (including voluntary Dispositions of First Lien Priority Collateral by the respective Grantors after a First Lien Default) determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder subject to the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5; provided, however, that the Lien securing the ABL Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the First Lien Documents) of such First Lien Priority Collateral

released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion subject to the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of the First Lien Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;

(ii) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the First Lien Priority Collateral, or the rights of the First Lien Agents or any of the First Lien Claimholders to exercise rights, powers and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, not enforce) its Lien on any of the First Lien Priority Collateral;

(iii) file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the ABL Claimholders, including any claims secured by the First Lien Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(v) vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and, accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and each First Lien Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn;

(vi) exercise any of its rights, powers, and/or remedies with respect to any of the First Lien Priority Collateral to the extent permitted by Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.3, and 3.4; and

(vii) take any action described in clauses (i) through (viii) of the definition of “Enforcement.”

The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no ABL Claimholder will take or receive any First Lien Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any First Lien Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.2(a)(i), 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 and clause (vi) of this Section 3.2(c), the sole right of the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the ABL Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.

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

(e) Except as provided in Section 5.3(c), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to First Lien Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the First Lien Documents.

(a) The ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent agree not to commence Enforcement or Going Out of Business Sale until an Enforcement Notice has been given to the other Agents. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, any Agent may join in any judicial

proceedings commenced by any other Agent to enforce Liens on the Collateral, provided that neither Agent, nor the other ABL Claimholders or the other First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, shall interfere with the Enforcement actions of the other with respect to Collateral in which such party has the priority Lien in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.

(b) If the Applicable First Lien Agent, or any agent or representative of the Applicable First Lien Agent, or any receiver, shall, after any First Lien Default, obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises, the Applicable First Lien Agent shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of that fact, and the ABL Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, notify the Applicable First Lien Agent in writing as to whether the ABL Agent desires to exercise access rights under this Agreement. In addition, if the ABL Agent, or any agent or representative or the ABL Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the Mortgaged Premises or any of the tangible First Lien Priority Collateral located on any premises other than a Mortgaged Premises or control over any intangible First Lien Priority Collateral, following the delivery to the Applicable First Lien Agent of an Enforcement Notice, then the ABL Agent shall promptly notify the Applicable First Lien Agent in writing that the ABL Agent is exercising its access rights under this Agreement and its rights under Section 3.4 under either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Agent to the Applicable First Lien Agent, the parties shall confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights. Consistent with the definition of “Access Period,” access rights will apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged Premises at differing times, in which case, a differing Access Period will apply to each such property.

(c) During any pertinent Access Period, the ABL Agent and the Company and their Subsidiaries, with the consent of the ABL Agent in connection with a Going Out of Business Sale, and their agents, representatives and designees shall have an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a rent-free right to use, the First Lien Priority Collateral for the purpose of (i) arranging for and effecting the sale or disposition of ABL Priority Collateral located on such parcel, including the production, completion, packaging and other preparation of such ABL Priority Collateral for sale or disposition, (ii) selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, Going Out of Business Sale or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any Grantor’s business), (iii) storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder or liability to the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder. During any such Access Period, the ABL Agent and its representatives (and persons employed on their behalf), may continue to operate, service, maintain, process and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, as well as to engage in bulk sales of ABL Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent shall take proper and reasonable care under the circumstances of any First Lien Priority Collateral that is used by the ABL Agent during the Access Period and repair and replace any damage (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees and the ABL Agent shall comply with all applicable laws in all material respects in connection with its use or occupancy of the First Lien Priority Collateral. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall reimburse the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under its control; provided, however, that the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Mortgaged

Premises caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. In no event shall the ABL Claimholders or the ABL Agent have any liability to the First Lien Claimholders and/or to the First Lien Agents hereunder as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Agent) of its rights under this Agreement. The ABL Agent and the First Lien Agents 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 First Lien Agents to show the First Lien Priority Collateral to prospective purchasers and to ready the First Lien Priority Collateral for sale.

(d) Consistent with the definition of the term “Access Period,” if any order or injunction is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Access Period granted to the ABL 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 in the applicable Access Period or Use Period, as the case may be. The First Lien Agents shall not foreclose or otherwise sell or dispose of any of the First Lien Priority Collateral during the Access Period or Use Period, as applicable, unless the buyer agrees in writing to acquire the First Lien Priority Collateral subject to the terms of Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 of this Agreement and agrees therein to comply with the terms of this Section 3.3. The rights of ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders under this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4 during the Access Period or Use Period shall continue notwithstanding such foreclosure, sale or other disposition by the First Lien Agents.

(e) The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders shall have the right to bring an action to enforce their rights under this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, including, without limitation, an action seeking possession of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral and/or specific performance of this Section 3.3 and Section 3.4.

3.4. First Lien Priority Collateral Rights/Access to Information. For the purposes of enabling the ABL Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement during the Enforcement Period, the First Lien Agents and each Grantor hereby grants (to the full extent of their respective rights and interests) the ABL Agent and its agents, representatives and designees an irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, rent-free license and lease (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of any First Lien Priority Collateral) to use all of the First Lien Priority Collateral to collect all Accounts included in ABL Priority Collateral, to copy, use, or preserve any and all information relating to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, and to complete the manufacture, packaging, advertising for sale and sale of (i) work-in-process, (ii) raw materials and (iii) complete inventory; provided, however, the royalty-free, rent-free license and lease with respect to the applicable First Lien Priority Collateral, shall immediately expire upon the end of (1) the Access Period applicable to such First Lien Priority Collateral located on any Mortgaged Premises and (2) the applicable Use Period with respect to any First Lien Priority Collateral not located on any Mortgaged Premises; provided, further, that such expiration shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law.

3.5. Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent such

First Lien Agent or any such First Lien Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any ABL Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any First Lien Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of each Cash Flow Credit Claimholder, the Notes Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and each Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of its respective Additional First Lien Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under Account Agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents, the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In addition, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, subject to Section 4.2, each First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders each hereby consents to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by the Applicable First Lien Agent, of cash or other Proceeds of Collateral, deposited under Account Agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents.

(a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such ABL Priority Collateral as a result of the exercise of remedies or other Enforcement or Going Out of Business Sale by either Agent or any ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders, shall be delivered to the ABL Agent and shall be applied or further distributed by the ABL Agent to or on account of the ABL Obligations in such order, if any, as specified in the relevant ABL Loan Documents or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent shall deliver to the Applicable First Lien Agent any ABL Priority Collateral and Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral received or delivered to it pursuant to the preceding sentence, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, to be applied by the First Lien Agents to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the First Lien Security Documents or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, all First Lien Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such First Lien Priority Collateral as a result of the exercise of remedies or other Enforcement by either Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or ABL Claimholders, shall be delivered to the Applicable First Lien Agent and shall be applied by the First Lien Agents to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Note

Documents or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Applicable First Lien Agent shall deliver to the ABL Agent any First Lien Priority Collateral and Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral received or delivered to it pursuant to the preceding sentence, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements to be applied by the ABL Agent to the ABL Obligations in such order as specified in the ABL Security Documents or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

4.2. Payments Over in Violation of Agreement. So long as neither the Discharge of ABL Obligations nor the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, any Collateral received by either Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or ABL Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right, power, or remedy (including set-off) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the appropriate Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders or the ABL Claimholders, as applicable, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Each Agent is hereby authorized by the other Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the other Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or ABL Claimholders, as applicable. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

4.3. Application of Payments. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, all payments received by (a) the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations to the extent provided for in the ABL Loan Documents and (b) the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to the First Lien Obligations to the extent provided for in the First Lien Documents.

4.4. Revolving Nature of ABL Obligations. The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment and that the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed.

4.5. Revolving Nature of Cash Flow Credit Obligations. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the Cash Flow Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment and that the amount of the Cash Flow Credit Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed.

(a) (i) If, in connection with (A) any exercise of remedies or Enforcement (including as provided for in Section 3.1(b) or Section 6.8(a)) or any Going Out of Business Sale, or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then not prohibited by the ABL Loan Documents (or consented to by the requisite ABL Lenders) or by the First Lien Documents (or consented to by the requisite Noteholders and the requisite holders of any Additional First Lien Obligations), irrespective of whether an ABL Default has occurred and is continuing, the ABL Agent, on behalf of any of the ABL Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the ABL Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the Credit Agreement Agent, for the benefit of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, for the benefit of the Note Claimholders, and each Additional First Lien Agent, for the benefit of the respective Additional First Lien Claimholders, on the ABL Priority Collateral sold or disposed of in connection therewith, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; provided that, to the extent the Proceeds of such ABL Priority Collateral are not applied to reduce ABL Obligations, each First Lien Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders (and without the consent of any Note Claimholders), and each Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the ABL Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the ABL Agent or such Grantor may request in writing to effectively confirm such release.

(ii) If, in connection with (A) any exercise of remedies or Enforcement (including as provided for in Sections 3.2(b) or Section 6.8(b)), or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the First Lien Priority Collateral, so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then not prohibited by the First Lien Documents (or consented to by the requisite Noteholders and the requisite holders of any Additional First Lien Obligations) or by the ABL Loan Documents (or consented to by the requisite ABL Lenders), irrespective of whether a First Lien Default has occurred and is continuing, a First Lien Agent, on behalf of any of its respective First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the First Lien Priority Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders, on the First Lien Priority Collateral sold or disposed of in connection therewith, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; provided that the provisions of Section 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 shall continue, to the extent such Sections are applicable at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition; provided, further that, to the extent the Proceeds of such First Lien Priority Collateral are not applied to reduce First Lien Obligations, the ABL Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to each applicable First Lien Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as such First Lien Agent or such Grantor may reasonably request to effectively confirm such release.

(b) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall occur, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the other Agent and any officer or agent of the other Agent, 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 the other Agent or such holder or in the Agent’s own name, from

time to time in such Agent’s discretion exercised in good faith, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(c) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall occur, to the extent that the Agents or the ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Claimholders have released any Lien on Collateral and such Lien is later reinstated, the Grantors shall grant a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the Lien priority provisions of this Agreement, to the other Agents, for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders, as applicable.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent in the Company’s or any other Grantor’s discretion any security interest is granted on any additional assets which are not required at any time when there are no ABL Obligations outstanding to secure the First Lien Obligations on a junior priority basis to the security interests granted to secure the ABL Obligations, such as deposit accounts, then to the extent the security interests on such assets to secure the ABL Obligations are released, such assets shall not be required to be subject to security interests in favor of any First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders.

(a) Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations and subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the ABL Loan Documents, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the ABL Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such ABL Priority Collateral. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, (i) all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral and to the extent required by the ABL Loan Documents shall be paid to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, if the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Security Documents, to the Applicable First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the First Lien Security Documents and then, to the extent the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, 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, and (ii) if any First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment with respect to ABL Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the ABL Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

(b) Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of, and the rights of the Grantors under, the First Lien Documents, (i) the Applicable First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, shall have the sole and exclusive

right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the First Lien Priority Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting such First Lien Priority Collateral; (ii) all Proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect of the First Lien Priority Collateral and to the extent required by the First Lien Documents shall be paid to the Applicable First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents and thereafter, if the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents, to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders to the extent required under the ABL Security Documents and then, to the extent there shall have occurred a Discharge of ABL Obligations, 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, and (iii) if the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any Proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment with respect to First Lien Priority Collateral in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such Proceeds over to the Applicable First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

(c) To effectuate the foregoing, and to the extent that the pertinent insurance company agrees to issue such endorsements, the Agents shall each receive separate lender’s loss payable endorsements naming themselves as loss payee and additional insured, as their interests may appear, with respect to any policies which insure Collateral hereunder.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.3(c) and 5.3(d), the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms, all without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement. The ABL Obligations may be Refinanced without notice to, or the consent of, the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders and without affecting the Lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement, and the First Lien Obligations may be Refinanced without notice to, or consent of, the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders and without affecting the Lien subordination and other provisions of this Agreement so long as such Refinancing is on terms and conditions that would not violate the First Lien Documents or the ABL Loan Documents, each as in effect on the date of such amendment or Refinancing; provided, however, that, in each case, the lenders or holders of such Refinancing debt (or an agent, trustee or other representative acting on their behalf) bind themselves in a writing addressed to the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders or the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders, as applicable, to the terms of this Agreement; provided further, however, that, if such Refinancing debt is secured by a Lien on any Collateral the holders of such Refinancing debt shall be deemed bound by the terms hereof regardless of whether or not such writing is provided. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the sale or other transfer of Indebtedness is not restricted by this Agreement but the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding on all holders of ABL Obligations and First Lien Obligations and (ii) Refinancings in whole of Indebtedness in respect of any Series of Obligations need not be permitted pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents or First Lien Documents, as applicable, in respect of such Series of Obligations.

(b) Subject to Sections 5.3(c) and 5.3(d), the ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent shall each use good faith efforts to notify the other party of any written amendment or modification to the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents, but the failure to do so shall not create a cause of action against the party failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party.

(c) Without the consent of each First Lien Agent, the ABL Claimholders will not be entitled to agree (and will not agree) to any amendment to or modification of the ABL Loan Documents, whether in a Refinancing or otherwise, that is not permitted by the Indenture as in effect on the date of such amendment or modification.

(d) Without the consent of the ABL Agent, each First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders will not be entitled to agree (and will not agree) to any amendment to or modification of the First Lien Documents, whether in a Refinancing or otherwise, that is not permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of such amendment or modification; provided that the First Lien Agents shall be entitled to rely exclusively on an officer’s certificate of the Company to the effect that such amendment or modification is permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement as of the applicable date thereof.

(e) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, each First Lien Agent agrees that each applicable First Lien Security Document executed on or after the date hereof that grants a Lien on any material Collateral shall include the following language (or similar language acceptable to the ABL Agent): “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to [Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent][Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent][INSERT NAME OF ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN AGENT], as [Collateral Agent]], pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by [Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent] [Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent][INSERT NAME OF ADDITIONAL FIRST LIEN AGENT, as [Collateral Agent]] hereunder in the ABL Priority Collateral, are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [ ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among [ ] as the ABL Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Credit Agreement Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes Agent, each Additional First Lien Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto and the Grantors (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

(f) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the ABL Agent agrees that each applicable ABL Security Document that grants a Lien on any material Collateral shall include the following language (or similar language acceptable to the First Lien Agents): “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to the [ ], as [Agent] pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [ ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Agent, as ABL Agent, Citibank, N.A., as Credit Agreement Agent, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Notes

Agent, each Additional First Lien Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto and the Grantors (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

(a) Each Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon (such Collateral, which shall include, without limitation, Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Capital Stock, being the “Pledged Collateral”) as (i) in the case of the ABL Agent, the collateral agent for the ABL Claimholders under the ABL Loan Documents or, in the case of the First Lien Agents, the collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Documents and (ii) gratuitous bailee for the benefit of the other Agents (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. The First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders hereby appoint the ABL Agent as their agent for the purposes of perfecting their security interest in all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. The ABL Agent hereby accepts such appointment and acknowledges and agrees that it shall act for the benefit of the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders under each Account Agreement and that any Proceeds received by the ABL Agent under any Account Agreement shall be applied in accordance with Article IV. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby grants (x) a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to the First Lien Agents for the benefit of the ABL Claimholders and (y) a security interest in the Pledged Collateral to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders.

(b) Neither Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the other Agent, to any other ABL Claimholder, or to any other First Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged 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 holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral or Proceeds thereof upon a Discharge of ABL Obligations or Discharge of First Lien Obligations, as applicable, as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) Neither Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall have by reason of the ABL Loan Documents, the First Lien Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Agent, any other ABL Claimholder or any other First Lien Claimholder.

(d) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations or the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, as applicable, the Agent under the ABL Credit Agreement, the Indenture, the Cash Flow Credit Agreement or any Additional First Lien Agreement, as applicable, that has been discharged shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary

endorsements, first, to the other Agent (which shall be the Applicable First Lien Agent in the case of the First Lien Agents) to the extent the other Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the Discharge of First Lien Obligations have occurred (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral) or as otherwise required by law. Each Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the other Agent in connection with the other Agent obtaining a senior-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any obligation of the Agent, which has been discharged, to make any delivery to the other Agent under this Section 5.4(d) is subject to (i) the order of any court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any automatic stay imposed in connection with any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(a) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the ABL Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“ABL DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on ABL Priority Collateral, then any First Lien Claimholder will not be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below, that the First Lien Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders retain a Lien on the Collateral and, with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the ABL Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, each First Lien Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to ABL Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing and any other Liens in favor of the ABL Agent), (iii) the terms of the Cash Collateral use or the ABL DIP Financing require that any Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral to secure such ABL DIP Financing is subordinate to the Lien of each First Lien Agent securing the First Lien Obligations with respect thereto and (iv) the terms of such ABL DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with this Agreement. Each First Lien Agent shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including

any “carve-out” granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee) and to all adequate assurance Liens granted to the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and, consistent with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) above); provided, however, if the Liens securing the ABL DIP Financing rank junior to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations, each First Lien Agent shall be required to subordinate its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing.

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Agents shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting First Lien Priority Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“First Lien DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on First Lien Priority Collateral, then any ABL Claimholder will not be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such Cash Collateral use or First Lien DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below, that the First Lien Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such Cash Collateral use or First Lien DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders retain a Lien on the Collateral and, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (ii) to the extent that the First Lien Agents are granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien, the ABL Agent is permitted to seek a Lien (without objection from the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder) on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (so long as, with respect to First Lien Priority Collateral, such Lien is junior to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing and any other Liens in favor of the First Lien Agents), (iii) the terms of the Cash Collateral use or the First Lien DIP Financing require that any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral to secure such First Lien DIP Financing is subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations with respect thereto and (iv) the terms of such First Lien DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is inconsistent with this Agreement. The ABL Agent shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in the First Lien Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee) and to all adequate assurance Liens granted to the First Lien Agents on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders and, consistent with the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly provided in clause (ii) above); provided, however, if the Liens securing the First Lien DIP Financing rank junior to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, the ABL Agent shall be required to subordinate its Liens in the First Lien Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such First Lien DIP Financing.

(c) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional First Lien Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor any First Lien DIP Financing to the extent that such First Lien Agent or any such First Lien Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the ABL Agent.

(d) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that no such Persons shall provide to such Grantor any ABL DIP Financing to the extent that the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the First Lien Agents.

(a) Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the other Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien 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 ABL Priority Collateral, without the prior written consent of the ABL Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) the ABL Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in such ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of each First Lien Agent, must be filed for the purpose of preserving such First Lien Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the First Lien Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.1 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the other ABL 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 First Lien Priority Collateral (other than to the extent such relief is required to exercise its rights under Sections 3.3 and 3.4), without the prior written consent of each First Lien Agent (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) each First Lien Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in the First Lien Priority Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the ABL Agent, must be filed for the purpose of preserving the ABL Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the ABL Agent shall otherwise remain subject to the restrictions in Section 3.2 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay.

(a) The Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Note Claimholders, and each Additional

First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, agree that none of them shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(i) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral; or

(ii) any request by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from First Lien Priority Collateral); or

(iii) any objection by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(i) any request by the First Lien Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral; or

(ii) subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, any request by the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral (except to the extent any such adequate protection is a payment from ABL Priority Collateral); or

(iii) any objection by the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the First Lien Priority Collateral.

(c) Consistent with the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, and except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.7, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(i) no First Lien Claimholder shall be entitled (and each First Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in the ABL Priority Collateral (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, subject to Section 6.1, First Lien Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral

so long as (i) the ABL Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on ABL Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the ABL Claimholders in respect of their interest in such ABL Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the ABL Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Credit Agreement Agent, Notes Agent and the applicable First Lien Claimholders on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion)

(ii) no ABL Claimholder shall be entitled (and each ABL Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right):

(1) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection in respect of First Lien Priority Collateral except as may be consented to in writing by the First Lien Agents in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, ABL Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement Lien on Collateral so long as (i) the First Lien Claimholders have been granted adequate protection in the form of a replacement lien on such Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on First Lien Priority Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the First Lien Claimholders in respect of their interest in such First Lien Priority Collateral) is subordinated to the Liens of the First Lien Agents in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on First Lien Priority Collateral; and

(2) to seek or otherwise be granted any adequate protection payments with respect to its interests in the Collateral from Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral (except as may be consented to in writing by the First Lien Agents in their sole and absolute discretion)

(d) With respect to (i) the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the First Lien Agents or the First Lien Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the First Lien Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise, other than from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement and (ii) the First Lien Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise, other than from Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement.

6.4. Avoidance Issues. If any ABL Claimholder or First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations, as applicable (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders

shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations, as applicable, 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 from such date of reinstatement.

6.5. Reorganization Securities. Subject to the ability of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, to support or oppose confirmation or approval of any Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to oppose confirmation or approval of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, as provided herein, 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, both on account of ABL Obligations and on account of First Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the First Lien 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.

(a) Neither the First Lien Agents nor any First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge:

(i) any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the First Lien Agents on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders on the Collateral;

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.6(a)(i) solely from Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral;

provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(a) prohibits the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Notes Agent, on behalf of the Note Claimholders, and the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the First Lien Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such First Lien Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses payable to the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder.

(b) Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge:

(i) any claim by the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the First Lien Priority Collateral securing any First Lien Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders on the Collateral;

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.6(b)(i) solely from Proceeds of First Lien Priority Collateral

provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(b) prohibits the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding if such ABL Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses payable to the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder.

6.7. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, and the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the First Lien Security Documents constitute two or more separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) 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 the claims of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and First Lien Obligations against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or First Lien Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority in accordance with Section 2.1 and Section 2.2), the ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, 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 or expenses that is available from each pool of priority Collateral for each of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, before any distribution is made from the applicable pool of priority Collateral in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties for whom such Collateral is non-priority, with such other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the applicable pool of priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

(a) Without limiting the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.1(b), neither the First Lien Agents nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral that is supported by the ABL Claimholders, and the First Lien Agents and each other First Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any ABL Priority Collateral supported by the ABL Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce ABL Obligations, the First Lien Agents shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the First Lien Agents’ and the First Lien Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.2(b), neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any First Lien Priority Collateral that is supported by the First Lien Claimholders and made subject to Section 3.3(d), and the ABL Agent and each other ABL Claimholder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale of any First Lien Priority Collateral supported by the First Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce First Lien Obligations, the ABL Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided further that the ABL Agent’s and the ABL Claimholders’ rights under Sections 3.3 and 3.4 shall survive any such sale or disposition.

7.1. Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the other ABL Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Agents or any First Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into ABL Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Loan Documents or this Agreement. Each of the Credit Agreement Agent, on behalf of the Cash Flow Credit Claimholders, the Additional First Lien Agent, on behalf of the Additional First Lien Claimholders, and the Noteholders, acknowledges that it and the other First Lien Claimholders (other than the Trustee and the Notes Agent) have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Agent or any other ABL Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the other First Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the First Lien Documents or this Agreement.

7.2. No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the other First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf their respective First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the other ABL Loan Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective ABL Loan Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Claimholders, and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Agents or any of the other First Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(a) No right of the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders or the other First Lien Claimholders to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Loan Document or First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by such Agents, ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Loan Documents or any of the First Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agents or the ABL Claimholders or First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents and subject to the provisions of Sections 5.3(a), 5.3(c), and, as applicable, 5.3(d)), the Agents, the other ABL Claimholders and the other First Lien Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents and First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the other Agent or the ABL Claimholder or the First Lien Claimholders (as applicable), without incurring any liabilities to such Persons and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Obligations or any Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the Agents or any rights or remedies under any of the ABL Loan Documents or the First Lien Documents;

(ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral (except to the extent provided in this Agreement) or any liability of any Grantor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(iii) settle or compromise any Obligation or any other liability of any Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability in any manner or order that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and

(iv) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any security or any Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Grantor.

7.4. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Loan Documents or any First Lien Documents;

(b) except, in each case, as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or First Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any ABL Loan Document or any First Lien Document;

(c) except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any 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 ABL Obligations or First Lien Obligations or any guaranty thereof;

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

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the ABL Agent, the ABL Obligations, any ABL Claimholder, the First Lien Agents, the First Lien Obligations or any First Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.

8.1. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Loan Document or any First Lien Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

8.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination (as opposed to an agreement of debt or claim subordination), and the ABL Claimholders and First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the other Agent, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon. Each of the Agents, on behalf the ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right any Claimholder may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the Agents, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as applicable) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

(a) with respect to the ABL Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, on the date of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders under Section 6.4; and

(b) with respect to the First Lien Agents, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, on the date of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.4.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the First Lien Agents or the ABL Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected.

(b) So long as permitted by the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents then in effect, the Company may from time to time designate Indebtedness and other obligations as Additional First Lien Obligations hereunder by delivering to the ABL Agent and each First Lien Agent (i) a certificate signed by a responsible officer of the Company (A) identifying the Indebtedness and other obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, (B) stating that such Indebtedness and other obligations are designated as Additional First Lien Obligations for purposes hereof, (C) representing that such designation of such Indebtedness and other obligations as Additional First Lien Obligations complies with the terms of the ABL Loan Documents and the First Lien Documents then outstanding and (D) specifying the name and address of the Additional First Lien Agent for such Indebtedness and other obligations and (ii) a fully executed Joinder (substantially in the form attached as Annex A). Each Agent agrees that upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, the Additional First Lien Agent identified in such Joinder shall act hereunder for the benefit of all Additional First Lien Claimholders under such Joinder, and each Agent agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Applicable First Lien Agent as agent for the holders of such Additional First Lien Obligations as set forth in each Joinder and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Claimholder it represents, to be bound by this Agreement.

8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and Their Subsidiaries. The ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, and the First Lien Agents and the First Lien Claimholders (in each case other than the Trustee and the Notes Agent), on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors and other Grantors of the ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the First Lien Obligations. Neither the ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, nor the First Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, shall have any duty to advise the other of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that either the ABL Agent or any of the other ABL Claimholders, on the one hand, or the First Lien Claimholders, on the other hand, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any of the others, it or they shall be under no obligation, (i) to make, and shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) to undertake any investigation, or (iv) to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

(a) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the First Lien Claimholders actually pays over to the ABL Agent or the ABL Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the ABL Claimholders; provided, however, that each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the

extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the First Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the ABL Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5(a), none of the First Lien Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the ABL Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the First Lien Claimholders.

(b) With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the ABL Claimholders actually pays over to the First Lien Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders; provided, however, that the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce all such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the ABL Claimholders that are paid over to the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the ABL Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5(b), none of the ABL Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the First Lien Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the ABL Claimholders.

(a) ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE FIRST LIEN CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS) AND THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE ABL AGENT), IRREVOCABLY:

(1) AGREES THAT THE ONLY NECESSARY PARTIES TO ANY AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE PARTIES HERETO, EXCEPT WHERE IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR THE RECOVERY OF MONEY) IS BEING SOUGHT DIRECTLY AGAINST OR FROM A PERSON THAT IS NOT A PARTY AND EXCEPT THAT, IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BETWEEN THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS AND THE ABL AGENT THAT DOES NOT SEEK ANY RELIEF AGAINST OR FROM THE ISSUERS OR ANY OF THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES, THE ISSUERS AND THE COMPANY SUBSIDIARIES SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY PARTIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 8.14 AND 8.17, NONE OF THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE ABL AGENT) OR THE FIRST LIEN CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS) SHALL BE NECESSARY OR OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE PARTIES TO ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, UNLESS IN SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING SUMS ARE BEING SOUGHT TO BE RECOVERED DIRECTLY FROM SUCH PERSONS, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.2.

(2) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; AND

(b) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE FIRST LIEN DOCUMENTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE FIRST LIEN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.6.

All notices permitted or required under this Agreement need be sent only to the First Lien Agents and the ABL Agent, as applicable, in order to be effective and otherwise binding on any applicable Claimholder. If any notice is sent for whatever reason to the other First Lien Claimholders or the ABL Claimholders, such notice shall also be sent to the applicable Agent. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice hereunder shall be in writing and may be personally served, e-mailed or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by overnight courier service and signed for against receipt thereof, upon receipt of telefacsimile or e-mail during normal business hours, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States certified mails (return receipt requested) with postage prepaid and properly addressed.

8.8. Further Assurances. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each First Lien Agent, on behalf of their respective First Lien Claimholders, and the Grantors, agree that each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the ABL Agent or the First Lien Agents may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of and the Lien priorities contemplated by this Agreement.

8.9. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

8.10. Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Agent and the First Lien Agents may demand specific performance of this Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Claimholders, and each First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and its respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders or the First Lien Agents or the other First Lien Claimholders, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, in seeking specific performance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, an Agent may seek such relief as if it were the “holder” of the claims of the other Agent’s Claimholders under Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise had been granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the other Agent’s Claimholders.

8.11. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

8.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such separate counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. In proving this Agreement in any judicial proceedings, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against whom such enforcement is sought. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by e-mail transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto.

8.13. Authorization. By its signature, each party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that the individual signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to execute this Agreement.

The ABL Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other ABL Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement. The Credit Agreement Agent hereby represents that it is authorized to, and by its signature hereon does, bind the other Cash Flow Credit Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement

8.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries.

8.15. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement (other than Section 8.3(b)) are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the ABL Claimholders on the one hand and the First Lien Claimholders on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the First Lien Claimholders (as amongst themselves) shall be governed by the terms of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. No Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights hereunder, and no Grantor may rely on the terms hereof, except that the Company may enforce Section 8.3(b). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair as between the Grantors and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders, or as between the Grantors and the First Lien Agents and the other First Lien Claimholders, the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts as provided in the other ABL Loan Documents and the other First Lien Documents, respectively, including as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

8.16. Marshalling of Assets. Each First Lien Agent, on behalf of its respective First Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any and all rights or powers any First Lien Claimholder may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the ABL Priority Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the ABL Agent’s Liens. The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby waives irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally any and all rights any ABL Claimholder may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the First Lien Priority Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the First Lien Agents’ Liens.

8.17. Exclusive Means of Exercising Rights under this Agreement. The Cash Flow Credit Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Credit Agreement Agent, Note Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Notes Agent, the ABL Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the ABL Agent and the Additional First Lien Claimholders shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Additional First Lien Agent, as their respective and exclusive agents hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, the First Lien Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders further shall be deemed to have agreed that only their respective Agent (and not any individual Claimholder or group of Claimholders) shall have the exclusive right to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement) or the Collateral; provided, that (i) ABL Claimholders holding Permitted Secured Bank Product Debt or Permitted Secured Hedge Obligations may exercise customary netting rights with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the ABL Loan Documents (including any relating to Permitted Secured Bank Product Debt or Permitted Secured Hedge Obligations) and any such individual ABL Claimholder may act against such Collateral, and (iii) ABL Claimholders may exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other accounts maintained with them. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Noteholder, each holder of Additional First Lien Obligations, group of Noteholders or group of holders of Additional First Lien Obligations, and each ABL Lender or group of ABL Lenders, shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement) or otherwise in relation to the Collateral, except solely as provided in the proviso in the preceding sentence.

8.18. Interpretation. This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, the Credit Agreement Agent, Notes Agent, the ABL Agent, the Company, and the Company Subsidiaries and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves and the applicable First Lien Claimholders (in the case of the Credit Agreement Agent and Notes Agent) and the ABL Claimholders (in the case of the ABL Claimholders). Accordingly, this Agreement’s provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any party or other Person merely by virtue of that party or other Person’s involvement, or lack of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions.

8.19. Capacity of Notes Agent. Wilmington Trust, National Association is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture and the rights, powers, privileges and protections afforded to the Collateral Agent under the Indenture shall also apply to Wilmington Trust, National Association as the Notes Agent hereunder. The Note Claimholders have expressly authorized and instructed the Notes Agent to execute and deliver this Agreement.

8.20. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the Discharge of the ABL Obligations or upon the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the ABL Claimholders and the First Lien Claimholders, as applicable, under Section 6.4.

SECTION 3.02. Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a), 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 the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor) or the Parent 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 the Parent 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.

SECTION 4.01. Application of Proceeds. After an event of default under any Senior Debt Document has occurred and until such event of default is cured or waived, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, the Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Shared Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the Designated Senior Representative to the Senior Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Debt Documents (including the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, if any) 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, any Shared Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Shared Collateral, in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise, shall 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.

(a) Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that, in the event of a sale, transfer or other disposition of any specified item of Shared Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of any subsidiary of the Parent Borrower), the Liens granted to the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties upon such Shared Collateral to secure Second Priority Debt Obligations shall terminate and be released, automatically and without any further action, concurrently with the termination and release of all Liens granted upon such Shared Collateral to secure Senior Obligations. Upon delivery to a Second Priority Representative of any necessary or proper instruments of termination or release prepared by the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor and, if requested by the Second Priority Representative, an Officer’s Certificate stating that any such termination and release of Liens securing the Senior Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective concurrently with such termination and release of the Liens granted to the Second Priority Debt Parties and the Second Priority Representatives), such Second Priority Representative will promptly execute, deliver or acknowledge, at the Parent Borrower’s or the other Grantor’s sole cost and expense, such instruments to evidence such termination and release of the Liens. 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 under any Senior Debt Document of proceeds of Shared Collateral 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 (i) to make payment in respect of any item of Shared Collateral, (ii) to deliver or afford control over any item of Shared Collateral to, or deposit any item of Shared Collateral with, (iii) to 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 Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Debt Documents, (a) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor, (b) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (c) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral. 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.

(a) Except to the extent not prohibited by any Senior Debt Document, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Parent Borrower agrees to deliver to the Designated Senior Representative copies of (i) any amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Second Priority Collateral Documents and (ii) any new Second Priority Collateral Documents promptly after effectiveness thereof. 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 the [Second Priority Representative] pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and security interests granted to Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2011, as amended on March 23, 2012 and as further amended on December 20, 2012, among Holdings, the Parent Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and the other parties thereto, as further amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, and the liens and security interests granted to Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent, pursuant to or in connection with the Indenture, dated as of December 20, 2012, among the Parent Borrower, the Guarantors identified therein, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, as amended, restated, amended and restated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [Second Priority Representative] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of [ ], 201[ ] (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, [ ] and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities party thereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) 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 Parent 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 Parent Borrower or any other Grantor; provided, however, that written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to each Second Priority Representative within 10 Business Days after the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent.

SECTION 5.04. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Parent Borrower and any other Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and applicable law so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any express provision of this Agreement. 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, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Shared Collateral. 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.

(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 or control of such Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Shared Collateral is held, and if such Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of 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 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 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 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 or controlling 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 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 and (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. The Parent 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 willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Senior Representatives have no obligations to follow instructions from any Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Debt Party in contravention of this Agreement.

(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 Parent 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 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 concurrently with or after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary enters into any Refinancing of any 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 Parent Borrower), including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as the Parent 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 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.

SECTION 6.01. Financing Issues. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, if the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and any Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party shall desire to consent (or not object) to the sale, use or lease of cash or other collateral or to consent (or not object) to the Parent Borrower’s or any other Grantor’s obtaining financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to and will not otherwise contest such sale, use or lease of such cash or

other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.01(a) and Section 6.03, will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (y) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Representatives, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) 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, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral, (d) objection to (and will not otherwise contest) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral or (e) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or oppose) any order relating to a sale or other disposition of assets of any Grantor for which any Senior Representative has consented that provides, to the extent such sale or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Obligations and the Second Priority Debt Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Senior Obligations rank to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the Second Priority Debt Obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each Second Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

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.

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, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law. 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 protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority

claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, 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 collateral, which Lien or superpriority claim is subordinated to the Liens securing all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) 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, (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 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 (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 the form of a super-priority 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 super-priority claim, which super-priority claim shall be senior to the super-priority claim of the Second Priority Debt Parties.

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 the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar Person therefor), 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 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 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 (whether or not allowed or allowable) before any distribution 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. No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Representative or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Debt Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Debt Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Second Priority Debt Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Debt Documents or otherwise.

SECTION 6.07. Application. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of Title 11 of the United States 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.

SECTION 6.08. Other Matters. To the extent that any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law with respect to any of the Shared Collateral, such Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and each Second Priority Debt Party under its Second Priority Debt Facility, or such Second Priority Debt Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Representative, provided that if requested by any Senior Representative, such Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Representatives (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

SECTION 6.09. 506(c) 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) of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Shared Collateral.

SECTION 6.10. Reorganization Securities. (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) Each Second Priority Debt Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of the Designated Senior Representative or to the extent any such plan is proposed or supported by the number of Senior Secured Parties required under Section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code.

SECTION 6.11. Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each 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, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each 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.

SECTION 7.01. Reliance. All loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the Senior Secured Parties to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary 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 Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary (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 otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Debt Document or of the terms of any Second Priority Debt Document;

(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 the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to (i) the Parent Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Obligations (other than the Discharge of Senior Obligations subject to Sections 5.06 and 6.04) or (ii) any Second Priority Representative or Second Priority Debt Party in respect of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.01. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.21, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Debt Document or any Second Priority Debt Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the relative rights and obligations of the Senior Representatives and the Senior Secured Parties (as amongst themselves) with respect to any Senior Collateral shall be governed by the terms of (i) the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and/or (ii) the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as may be applicable, and in the event of any conflict between the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and this Agreement, the provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, shall control.

SECTION 8.02. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.04, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination, and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Representatives or any Second Priority Debt Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary constituting Senior Obligations in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions

hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties 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.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any party hereto in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) This Agreement may be amended in writing signed by each Representative (in each case, acting in accordance with the documents governing the applicable Debt Facility); provided that any such amendment, supplement or waiver which by the terms of this Agreement requires the Parent Borrower’s consent or which increases the obligations or reduces the rights of, or otherwise materially adversely affects, the Parent Borrower or any Grantor, shall require the consent of the Parent Borrower. Any such amendment, supplement or waiver shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Senior Secured Parties and the Second Priority Debt Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party, any Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 8.09 of this Agreement and upon such execution and delivery, such Representative and the Secured Parties and Senior Obligations or Second Priority Debt Obligations of the Debt Facility for which such Representative is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.04. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries. The Senior Representatives (other than the Senior Representative for the Additional Senior Debt Parties under the 2018 Notes Indenture), the Senior Secured Parties (other than the Senior Representative for the Additional Senior Debt Parties under the 2018 Notes Indenture and the Trustee under the 2018 Notes Indenture), the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Parent Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers or guarantors of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Senior Obligations or the Second Priority Debt Obligations. The Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall have no duty to advise

any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that any Senior Representative, any Senior Secured Party, any Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Debt Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and the Senior Representatives, the Senior Secured Parties, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Debt Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

SECTION 8.07. Additional Grantors. The Parent Borrower agrees that, if any Subsidiary shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex II. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Designated Second Priority Representative and the Designated Senior Representative. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.08. Dealings with Grantors.
