Agent, take all actions reasonably necessary to maintain the continuing priority
of the Liens securing the Obligations and any other Liens which secure First

Trustee, on behalf of each of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that
any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result
of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to
Section 4.2.
          2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is
their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien
Collateral (other than with respect to Affiliate Securities, if any, and any
Specified Hedge Collateral, if any) be identical. In furtherance of the
foregoing and of Section 8.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement:
          (a) upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their
counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the
specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien
Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the
identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Documents and
the Subordinated Lien Documents; and
          (b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First
Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien Collateral and guarantees for the
First Lien Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Obligations, subject to
Section 5.3(d), shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents
other than with respect to the first or subordinated nature of the Obligations
thereunder and the exclusion or inclusion, if applicable, of any Affiliate
Securities or any Specified Hedge Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section if
any assets and/or property of any Grantor are not yet included in Subordinated
Lien Collateral but are subject to closing agreements to provide that such
assets and/or property shall become Subordinated Lien Collateral.
          SECTION 3. Enforcement.
          3.1 Exercise of Remedies.
          (a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against the Company or any other Grantor, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders:
          (1) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any
right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or
bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Subordinated

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder is a party) or institute
any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any
action of foreclosure);
          (2) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding
or action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien
Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any
First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral
under the First Lien Documents or otherwise; and
          (3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above, will not object
to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or
any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each
case so long as the Liens granted to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the
relative priorities described in Section 2.
          (b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred,
whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or
against the Company or any other Grantor, the First Lien Collateral Agent and
the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights,
exercise remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to credit bid
their debt) and, subject to Section 5.1, to make determinations regarding the
release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any
consultation with or the consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any
Subordinated Lien Claimholder; provided that, the Lien securing the Subordinated
Lien Obligations shall remain on the proceeds of such Collateral released or
disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2. In
exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien
Collateral Agent 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.
Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by
them to sell or otherwise dispose of 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 Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
and any Subordinated Lien Claimholder may:
          (1) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the
Subordinated Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor;
          (2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens
on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies
in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on
the Collateral;
          (3) file any necessary 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
Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral,
if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
          (4) vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make
other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Subordinated
Lien Obligations and the Collateral.
          The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and each
Subordinated Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not take or receive any
Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any
right or remedy (including set-off and recoupment) with respect to any
Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, unless and until the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(b) and this
Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien
on the Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents for the
period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds
thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.
          (d) Subject to Sections 3.1(c) and Section 6.3(b):
          (1) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders will not take any action that
would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Documents or is
otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;
          (2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise
to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First
Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the
Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien
Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether
any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent
or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders; and

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (3) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereby acknowledges and agrees
that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Lien
Collateral Documents or any other Subordinated Lien Document (other than this
Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the
First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the
Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents.
          (e) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may
exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any
other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Subordinated
Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents
and applicable law; provided that in the event that any Subordinated Lien
Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a
result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to
the Subordinated Lien 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 Subordinated Lien Obligations
are subject to this Agreement.
          (f) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d),
nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required
payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the
Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or
indirect result of the exercise by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any
Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor
(including set-off and recoupment) 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 Collateral
Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien
Collateral.
          SECTION 4. Payments.
          4.1 Application of Proceeds. 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 the Company or any other Grantor,
Collateral or proceeds thereof, received in connection with the sale or other
disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies,
shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien
Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Documents.
Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent
shall deliver to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee any proceeds of Collateral
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
Subordinated Collateral Trustee in such order as specified in the Subordinated
Lien Documents.
          4.2 Payments Over.

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (a) 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 the Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or
proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to
in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee, any Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy (including set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral
in contravention of this Agreement in all cases, shall be segregated and held in
trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit
of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The
First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements
as agent for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien
Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable
until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.
          (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 the Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or
proceeds thereof (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in
the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of
any right or remedy (including set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral
not in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and
forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the
First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct;
provided, however that, this Section 4.2(b) shall only be applicable if the
exercise of such right or remedy by the Subordinated Collateral Agent or any
Subordinated Lien Claimholder has the effect of discharging the Lien of the
First Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. The First Lien Collateral Agent
is hereby authorized to make any such endorsement as agent for the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders. This authorized
is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until he Discharge of First Lien
Obligations.
          (c) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not
occurred, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall receive any
distribution of money or other property in respect of the Collateral, such money
or other property shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over
to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien
Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsement. Any
Lien received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or by Subordinated Lien
Claimholders in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          SECTION 5. Other Agreements.
          5.1 Releases.
          (a) If in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral
Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent,
for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of
its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases any Guarantor from its
obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if
any, of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of
such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall be
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral
Agent or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other
documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor may request to
effectively confirm such release.
          (b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of any Collateral by any Grantor (collectively, a “Disposition”)
permitted under the terms of the First Lien Documents and not expressly
prohibited under the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents (other than in
connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in
respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a) above), the
First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien
Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or
releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien
Obligations, in each case other than (A) in connection with the Discharge of
First Lien Obligations and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance
of any “Event of Default” under a Subordinated Lien Document, then the Liens, if
any, of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of
the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of
such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall be
automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral
Agent or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other
documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor may request to
effectively confirm such release.
          (c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien
Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral 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 Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or such holder or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own
name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, 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

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this
Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or
release.
          (d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the
extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders
(i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Guarantor from its obligation
under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or
(ii) obtain any new liens or additional guarantees from any Guarantor, then the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and for the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the
lien subordination provisions of this Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as
the case may be.
          5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien
Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of
the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, to adjust settlement for any
insurance policy covering the 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 the Collateral. Unless and until the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of
the Grantors under the First Lien Documents, 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 to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the
First Lien Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of
letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are
outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Subordinated
Lien Documents to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Subordinated
Lien Documents, and then, to the extent no Subordinated Lien 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.
Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, any Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall, at any time,
receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment
in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and
forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in
accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.
          5.3 Amendments to First Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien
Documents.
          (a) The First Lien Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may
be Refinanced in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the
consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions
of this Agreement; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt
(or their Representative on their behalf) shall bind themselves in a writing for
the benefit of the Subordinated Collateral

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement
including by executing a Lien Priority Confirmation;
          (b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral
Agent, no Subordinated Lien Document may be Refinanced, amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such Refinancing, amendment,
supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Subordinated Lien Document,
would:
          (1) increase the principal amount of the Subordinated Lien Debt in
excess of the amount permitted under any First Lien Document;
          (2) increase the fees, the interest rate or yield provisions or
otherwise effectuate an increase in yield applicable to the Indebtedness
incurred under such Subordinated Lien Documents (including by way of any side
letters, agreements or arrangements under which any of the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders are paid a fee whether in the form of cash or interest) by more
than 3% per annum (including increases in yield or rate arising from any changes
from a floating interest rate obligation to a fixed rate obligation but
excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate);
          (3) except as permitted by Section 5.3(b)(2), increase materially the
obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional material
rights on any Subordinated Lien Claimholders, or a representative on their
behalf, which would be adverse to the Company, any Grantor or any First Lien
Claimholder, it being understood that amendments or Refinancings providing for
increases in the principal amount of Subordinated Lien Debt to provide for new
money Indebtedness shall not be restricted by this clause (3);
          (4) affect the Lien subordination, Lien priorities or other provisions
of this Agreement; or
          (5) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or of the First Lien
Documents.
          The Subordinated Lien Debt may be Refinanced to the extent the terms
and conditions of such Refinancing debt meet the requirements of this
Section 5.3(b) and clauses (a), (b) and (c) of, and the provisos to, the
definition of “Subordinated Lien Debt” set forth in the First Lien Credit
Agreement, and the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing
for the benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien
Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement, by executing a Lien Priority
Confirmation.
          (c) Company agrees that each Subordinated Lien Document shall include
the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien
Collateral Agent):

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest
granted to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and
the exercise of any right or remedy by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
hereunder are subject to the provisions of the First and Subordinated Lien
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [______], 2010 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among Coffeyville Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, Wilmington Trust FSB, as First Lien Collateral Agent, and Wilmington
Trust FSB, as Subordinated Collateral Trustee, and certain other persons party,
or that may become party, thereto from time to time. In the event of any
conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement,
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”
          In addition, the Company agrees that such Subordinated Lien Mortgage
covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien
Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such
Subordinated Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such
Collateral.
          (d) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose
of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from
any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner
the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders,
Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent
shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable
Subordinated Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and without any action
by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, Company or any other Grantor, provided
that:
          (i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of: (A)
removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Subordinated Lien
Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or
required by Section 5.1; provided that, there is a corresponding release of such
Lien securing the First Lien Obligations; (B) imposing duties on the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee without its consent; (C) permitting other Liens
on Subordinated Lien Collateral not permitted under the terms of the
Subordinated Lien Documents or Section 6; or (D) being prejudicial to the
interests of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the
First Lien Claimholders; and

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (ii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given
to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee within ten (10) Business Days after the
effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.
          5.4 Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.
          (a) The First Lien Collateral 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 under the UCC (such Collateral being the
“Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as
gratuitous bailee for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee (such bailment being
intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of
Sections 8-106(d)(3), 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
First Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, respectively, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. Solely with respect to any
deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the
UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees
to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Section 5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent as its agent solely for
perfection of the Subordinated Collateral Agent’s Lien in such deposit accounts,
and the First Lien Collateral Agent accepts such appointment.
          (b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee
or any Subordinated 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 First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall
be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect
to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering
the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in
paragraph (d) below.
          (c) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the
First Lien Collateral Documents, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents,
this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the
First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated
Lien Claimholder and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the First Lien Collateral Agent from
all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s
role under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with
respect to the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the
First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee may differ
and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to act in its own
interest without taking into account the interests of the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or Subordinated Lien Claimholders.

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien
Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien
Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its
possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement
shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to the extent Subordinated Lien Obligations
remain outstanding, and second, to the Company to the extent no First Lien
Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case,
so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged
Collateral). The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other
action reasonably requested by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at the
expense of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Company in connection with
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee obtaining a first-priority interest in the
Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
          5.5 Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.
If, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the
Company thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Document
evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted by the
Subordinated Lien Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall
automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement
(other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of
such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on
which the New First Lien Debt Notice is delivered to the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such
Refinancing of the First Lien Documents shall automatically be treated as First
Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of
the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and
the First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Documents shall be the
First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of
a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered
into a new First Lien Document (and incurred additional First Lien Debt) (which
notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent, such
agent, the “New Agent”), the Subordinated Collateral Trustee shall promptly
(a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or
supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably
request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in
each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement
and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with
any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control
of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under
the new First Lien Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting
Collateral that do not also secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations, then the
Subordinated Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority
Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Subordinated Lien
Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          5.6 Additional Secured Debt.
          (a) The Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder
of First Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable,
hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the holder of First Lien Debt or
the holder of Subordinated Lien Debt, as applicable, incurred by the Company or
such other Grantor in accordance with the respective definitions of First Lien
Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be, contained herein as
additional First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt hereunder, respectively.
The Company may effect such designation by delivering to the First Lien
Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee each of the following:
          (i) an Officer’s Certificate describing in reasonable detail the
respective First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”)
and stating that the Company or such other Grantor has incurred or intends to
incur such obligations as additional Secured Debt which will either be (i) First
Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a
First Lien or (ii) Subordinated Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured
Debt Document to be secured with a second or third priority lien, as applicable;
and
          (ii) a written notice specifying the name and address of the
Representative for such First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as
applicable, for purposes of Section 8.8.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, but in no way limiting Section 2.3,
nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other
Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or grant additional Liens unless in
each case otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable Secured Debt
Documents.
          (b) With respect to any First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt
incurred after the date of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to
take such actions (if any) (including, without limitation, any acknowledgements
by the Company or any of the other Guarantors of guarantees or security that are
applicable to First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be) as
may from time to time reasonably be requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent
or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, and enter into such technical
amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing guarantees,
First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents (or
execute and deliver such additional guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents
and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be
reasonably requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, to ensure that the relevant additional First Lien
Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as the case may be, are secured
by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant guarantees, First Lien
Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable,
and each additional holder of First Lien Obligations and each additional holder
of Subordinated Lien Obligations (by its

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the First
Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to enter into, any
such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional
guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral
Documents, as applicable). The Company and each Grantor hereby further agree
that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in
connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 5.6(b),
all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company
and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.
          SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.
          6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject
to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent
shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in
Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Collateral Agent
or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other 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
(“DIP Financing”), then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself
and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection
to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing and to the extent the Liens
securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such
DIP Financing, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Liens in
the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations
relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief
in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the First Lien
Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that, the
aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of First Lien Obligations consisting of Indebtedness for
borrowed money (and expressly excluding Hedging Obligations) plus the aggregate
face amount of any letters of credit issued and not reimbursed under the First
Lien Credit Agreement does not exceed the Cap Amount plus $150,000,000 in the
aggregate.
          6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has occurred, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of
itself and the Subordinated 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
Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral
Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has
been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.
          6.3 Adequate Protection.
          (a) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the
Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or
support any other Person contesting):

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (1) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders for adequate protection; or
          (2) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate
protection.
          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in
any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:
          (1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted
adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any
Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
on behalf of itself or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, may seek or
request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral,
which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations
and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating
thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Lien
Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this
Agreement; and
          (2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and Subordinated Lien
Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to
their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in
the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that, as adequate protection for
the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional
collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that, as adequate
protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on
behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior replacement Liens
on the Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that, as
adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an
administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative
expense claim of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders; and (D) cash payments with respect to interest on the Subordinated
Lien Obligations; provided either (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien
Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien
Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the
First Lien Obligations, or (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount equal
to the interest accruing on the principal amount of applicable Subordinated Lien
Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate
under the applicable Subordinated Lien Documents and accruing from the date the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee is granted such relief. If any Subordinated Lien
Secured Party receives Post Petition Interest and/or adequate protection
payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Subordinated Lien Adequate
Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Claimholders do not

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the
effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Subordinated Lien Claimholders
shall pay over to the First Lien Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”)
equal to the lesser of (i) the Subordinated Lien Adequate Protection Payments
received by such Subordinated Lien Claimholders and (ii) the amount of the
short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations;
provided that, to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments
received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity
or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over
Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount,
transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in
value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Subordinated Lien
Claimholders in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have
consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to the grant of
adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Subordinated Lien
Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).
          (c) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of
the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that notice of a hearing to
approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be
adequate if delivered to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at least two
(2) Business Days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to
approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be
adequate if delivered to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at least fifteen
(15) days in advance of such hearing.
          6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing contained
herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any
First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by
the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of
adequate protection or the asserting by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or
any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the
Subordinated Lien Documents or otherwise.
          6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay
to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of
First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall
be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all
such recovered amounts, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the
Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not the have occurred for
all purposes hereunder. 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.

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any
property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of
reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of
First Lien Obligations and on account of Subordinated Lien Obligations, then, to
the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien
Obligations and on account of the Subordinated 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 Liens securing such debt obligations.
          6.7 Post Petition Interest
          (a) Neither the Subordinated Collateral Trustee nor any Subordinated
Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien
Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post Petition
Interest to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien,
without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.
          (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien
Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder for allowance in any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Subordinated Lien Obligations consisting
of Post Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders
on the Collateral (after taking into account the value of the First Lien
Obligations).
          6.8 Waiver. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter
have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First
Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy
Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any
grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency
or Liquidation Proceeding.
          6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The
Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Subordinated
Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf
of each First Lien Claimholder, acknowledges and agrees that
          (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral
Documents, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents and any Secured Debt
Documents which grant a Third Lien on the Collateral constitute three separate
and distinct grants of Liens; and
          (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the
Collateral, the Subordinated Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from
the First

30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Lien 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 the claims of the First Lien Claimholders
and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute
only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior
secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if
there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the
Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent
that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose
ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders), the First Lien
Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to
them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all
amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post Petition Interest,
including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit
Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim
in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in
respect of the claims held by any Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to
the Collateral, with the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on
behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing
to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the
First Lien Claimholders, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral 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 Subordinated Lien Claimholders).
          SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.
          7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement,
the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien
Claimholders under its First Lien Documents, acknowledges that it and such First
Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders, and based on documents
and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own analysis and decision
to enter into such First Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this
Agreement and they will continue to make their own decision in taking or not
taking any action under the First Lien Documents or this Agreement. The

Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders have,

Subordinated Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they
will continue to make their own decision in taking or not taking any action
under the Subordinated Lien Documents or this Agreement.

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective First
Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole

Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent
and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, to act or

have or be charged with.
          7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
          (a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral
Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First
Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act

          SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.
          8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of
this Agreement and the provisions of the First Lien Documents or the
Subordinated Lien Documents, 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 and the First Lien
Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder subject to the
Subordinated Lien Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations
and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any Grantor constituting
First Lien Obligations in reliance hereof. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any
right it 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. 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 the Company or any other Grantor shall include the Company or such
Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the
Company or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further
force and effect:
          (a) with respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien
Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, on the date of Discharge of First
Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under

          If a Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs prior to the

that First Lien Obligations are incurred or reinstated in accordance with
Section 6.5, the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall (effective upon the
incurrence of such additional First Lien Obligations or reinstatement of such
First Lien Obligations, as applicable) be deemed to no longer be effective.

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any
of the provisions of this Agreement by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or
the First Lien Collateral 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. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the
Subordinated Collateral Trustee shall be directed and authorized to exercise
their respective rights and obligations hereunder by the First Lien Claimholders
or Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the
applicable First Lien Document or Subordinated Lien Document, including, with
respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, pursuant to the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement and with respect to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,

designate).
          8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders,
on the one hand, and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping
themselves informed of (x) the financial condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations
or the Subordinated Lien Obligations and (y) all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Subordinated
Lien Obligations. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien
Claimholders shall have no duty to advise the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or
any Subordinated Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding
such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event the First
Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, in its or their
sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such
information to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien
Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation:
          (a) to make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien
Claimholders 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;
          (b) to provide any additional information or to provide any such
information on any subsequent occasion;
          (c) to undertake any investigation; or

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

          (d) 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.
          8.5 Subrogation. With respect to the value of any payments or
distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Subordinated
Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee pays over to the First
Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders under the terms of this
Agreement, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and the Subordinated Collateral
Trustee shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent and
the First Lien Claimholders; provided that, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
on behalf of itself and the Subordinated 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 First Lien Obligations has
occurred. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or
distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Subordinated
Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders that are paid over to
the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this
Agreement shall not reduce any of the Subordinated Lien Obligations.
          8.6 Application of Payments. All payments received by the First Lien
Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and
reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations
provided for in the First Lien Documents. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee,
on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, assents (i) to any
extension or postponement of the time of payment of the First Lien Obligations
or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, (ii) to
