granted to secure the Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Junior-Priority Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Junior-Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Junior-Priority Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (D) if any Junior-Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement; provided that the Junior-Priority Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided further, that the Junior-Priority Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Junior-Priority Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Junior-Priority Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

(c) Each Junior-Priority Secured Party agrees that, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, none of them will oppose any sale or disposition of any Shared Collateral of any Pledgor that is supported by the Controlling Secured Parties, or the Applicable Authorized Representative, and will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any such sale or disposition and to have released its Liens on the assets so sold or disposed; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

(a) The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Junior-Priority Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. Pending delivery to the Collateral Agent, each other Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Junior-Priority Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Lien granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

(b) The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and each other Authorized Representative under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Junior-Priority Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior-Priority Secured Parties therein.

SECTION 3.01. Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Pledgor, any Junior-Priority Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Regions Bank to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the other Security Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Pledgor to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV and Section 12.1(f) of 2023 Notes Indenture and 2024 Notes Indenture and the equivalent provision of any Additional Agreement (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent” under the Security Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

(b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which such Non-Controlling Secured Party would otherwise be entitled as a result of its Junior-Priority Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Obligations or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any Junior-Priority Secured Party takes or omits to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy

Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Junior-Priority Secured Party. The Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Junior-Priority Secured Party under any Series of Obligations that it holds as any other Junior-Priority Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent and the term “Junior-Priority Secured Party” or “ Junior-Priority Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Additional Junior-Priority Secured Party” or “Additional Junior-Priority Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Parent, the Company or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Junior-Priority Secured Party.

SECTION 4.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Security Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to exercise; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Security Document or applicable law;

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (iii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of Parent or the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of Obligations unless and until written notice describing such Event of Default is given to the Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such Obligations or Parent or the Company; and

(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Security Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of Obligations, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Junior-Priority Secured Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 4.04. Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 4.05. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.

SECTION 4.06. Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Security Documents to each Authorized Representative and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify the Company and each Authorized Representative that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be

discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Security Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties under any of the Security Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the Liens of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Junior-Priority Secured Parties) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Security Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 12.1(f) of 2023 Notes Indenture and 2024 Notes Indenture and the equivalent provision of any Additional Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any notice of resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Security Documents, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (and maintain the validity and priority of) the Liens in favor of the retiring Collateral Agent under the Security Documents to the successor Collateral Agent.

SECTION 4.07. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Junior-Priority Secured Parties. Each Junior-Priority Secured Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, any other Authorized Representative or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Junior-Priority Secured Documents. Each Junior-Priority Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Junior-Priority Secured Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 4.08. Collateral Matters. Each of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Security Document in accordance with Section 2.04 or upon receipt of a written request from Parent or the Company stating that the release of such Lien is permitted by the terms of each then extant Junior-Priority Secured Document; and

(b) to release any Pledgor from its obligations under the Security Documents upon receipt of a written request from Parent or the Company stating that such release is permitted by the terms of each then extant Junior-Priority Secured Document.

SECTION 5.01. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, as follows:

(a) if to the Collateral Agent, the 2023 Notes Authorized Representative or the 2024 Notes Authorized Representative, to it at Regions Bank, 1180 West Peachtree Street, Suite 1200, Atlanta, GA 30309, Attention: Corporate Trust Services;

(b) if to any other Additional Authorized Representative, to it at the address set forth in the applicable Joinder Agreement; or

(c) if to any of the Pledgors, to it at CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. 4000 Meridian Boulevard, Franklin, TN 37067-6325, Attention: General Counsel Facsimile No.: (615) 373-9704.

Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt (if a Business Day) and on the next Business Day thereafter (in all other cases) if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by telecopy or on the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 5.01 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 5.01. As agreed to in writing among the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative from time to time, notices and other communications may also be delivered by e-mail to the e-mail address of a representative of the applicable person provided from time to time by such person.

SECTION 5.02. Waivers; Amendment; Joinder Agreements. (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) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be terminated, waived, amended or modified (other than the provision of security for one or more additional Series as provided for herein) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Authorized Representative and the Collateral Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Junior-Priority Secured Party, any Authorized Representative may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement in accordance with Section 6.09(c) of the Junior-Priority Collateral Agreement and upon such execution and delivery and the delivery by the Company of the documents required by said Section 6.09(c), such Authorized Representative and the Additional Junior-Priority Secured Parties and Additional Obligations of the Series for which such Authorized Representative is acting shall thereupon become subject to and bound by the terms and conditions hereof and the terms and conditions of the other Security Documents applicable thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Junior-Priority Secured Party, and at the request of the Company, the parties hereto shall amend this Agreement in connection with the Refinancing of Junior-Priority Obligations of any Series, in order to amend any defined terms or section references contained herein to the Junior-Priority Secured Documents governing such Junior-Priority Obligations being Refinanced to the equivalent defined terms or sections references to the Refinanced Junior-Priority Obligations of such Series or to the Junior-Priority Collateral Agreement or any replacement Security Document entered into in connection with the Refinanced Junior-Priority Obligations of such Series, so long as the Company delivers to each party hereto a certificate of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by the terms of each then extant Junior-Priority Secured Document.

SECTION 5.03. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, as well as the other Junior-Priority Secured Parties, all of whom are intended to be bound by, and to be third party beneficiaries of, this Agreement.

SECTION 5.04. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.05. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.06. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to

the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate 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.

SECTION 5.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 5.08. Submission to Jurisdiction Waivers. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties of the Series for whom it is acting, irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Security Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, and the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case located in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 5.08 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

SECTION 5.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

SECTION 5.10. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 5.11. Conflicts. (a) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Junior-Priority Secured Documents (other than the Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement) or Security Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement, the Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 5.12. Provisions Solely To Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Junior-Priority Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Company, any other Pledgor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 2.04, 2.05, 2.08, 2.09 or Article V) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the Junior-Priority Secured Documents), and none of the Company or any other Pledgor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.08, 2.09 and Article V). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Pledgor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 5.13. Relationship to Other Intercreditor Agreements. This Agreement is (i) a “Junior-Priority Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement” for purposes of the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) a “Junior-Priority Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement” for purposes of the Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement. Nothing herein is intended to alter the Junior-Priority Secured Parties’ obligations under the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement or Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 5.14. Application of Proceeds. Any Collateral or proceeds thereof or payment with respect thereto received by the Applicable Authorized Representative in accordance with this Agreement shall be applied by the Applicable Authorized Representative in accordance with the Senior-Junior Intercreditor Agreement and subject, in the case of ABL Priority Collateral, to the Amended and Restated ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 5.15. Integration. This Agreement together with the other Junior-Priority Secured Documents and the Security Documents represents the agreement of each of the Pledgors and the Junior-Priority Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Pledgor, the Collateral Agent or any other Junior-Priority Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Junior-Priority Secured Documents or the Security Documents.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
