the Term Loan Agreement).
 
The foregoing and any other provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement notwithstanding, (i) the subordination of Liens provided for in this
Agreement shall cease to be effective with respect to any part of the Collateral

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

 
 
 
which event Term Agent and Term Loan Claimholders, or ABL Agent and ABL
Claimholders, respectively, shall be entitled to receive and retain, from and
after such date, all proceeds with respect to such Collateral to the extent the
Liens of Term Agent and Term Loan Claimholders, or of ABL Agent and ABL
Claimholders, respectively, are valid, enforceable, not void and allowed with
respect to such Collateral (provided that if ABL Agent or Term Agent has not
been given a Lien Protection Notice from the other Agent as to action taken by
the other Agent, which, if such action had been promptly taken by ABL Agent or
Term Agent, respectively, would have resulted in the applicable Liens not being
subject to Lien Avoidance, then this clause (i) shall not be applicable to such
Lien Avoidance such that the subordination of Liens of Term Agent or ABL Agent,
respectively, as otherwise provided for in this Agreement shall remain effective
(and the inapplicability of this clause (i) shall be the sole consequence of any
failure to provide a Lien Protection Notice), and (ii) except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, each of ABL Agent and Term Agent agrees not to
contractually subordinate its Lien in any Collateral to the Lien of any other
creditor of Grantors without the prior written consent of Term Agent or ABL
Agent, respectively.
 
2.2           Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each of Term Agent, for itself
and on behalf of each Term Loan Claimholder, and ABL Agent, for itself and on
behalf of each ABL Claimholder, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any
right to), directly or indirectly, contest, or support any other person in
contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the
priority, validity, or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any ABL
Claimholders in the ABL Collateral or by or on behalf of any Term Loan
Claimholders in the Term Loan Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions
of this Agreement; provided, however that nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to prevent or impair the rights of ABL Agent, any ABL Claimholder,
Term Agent, or any Term Loan Claimholder to enforce the terms of this Agreement,
including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens
securing the ABL Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.
 
2.3           New Liens.  Whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been
commenced by or against any Grantor, the parties hereto agree that no Grantor
shall:
 
(a)           so long as the Discharge of ABL Priority Obligations has not
occurred, grant any additional Liens on any asset to secure any Term Loan
Obligation unless such Grantor
 
gives ABL Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice thereof and
unless such notice also offers to grant a Lien on such asset to secure the ABL
Obligations concurrently with the grant of a Lien thereon in favor of Term
Agent; or
 
(b)           so long as the Discharge of Term Loan Priority Obligations has not
occurred, grant any additional Liens on any asset to secure any ABL Obligations
unless such Grantor gives Term Agent at least five (5) Business Days prior
written notice thereof and unless such notice also offers to grant a Lien on
such asset to secure the Term Loan Obligations concurrently with the grant of a
Lien thereon in favor of ABL Agent.
 
 
 
 
14

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

 
 
 
To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any
reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to an Agent or
Claimholders, each Agent, on behalf its 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 4.1.
 
2.4           Similar Liens and Agreements.
 
The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the ABL Collateral and
the Term Loan Collateral be identical, and that all Grantors shall be party to
the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents.  In furtherance of the
foregoing and of Section 9.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other
provisions of this Agreement:
 
(a)           upon request by ABL Agent or Term Agent, 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 ABL Collateral and the
Term Loan Collateral and the steps taken or to be taken to perfect their
respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated
under the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents;
 
(b)           that the ABL Collateral Documents and Term Loan Collateral
Documents and guarantees for the ABL Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations
shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with
respect to the first lien and the second lien nature thereof; and
 
(c)           upon request by Term Agent after the Discharge of the ABL Priority
Obligations, ABL Agent will provide written notice thereof to each depository
institution which maintains a Deposit Account or Security Account of any Grantor
and which is subject to a control agreement and other party in possession or
control of the Collateral with which ABL Agent has entered into a control
agreement which has not been terminated (including, without limitation,
landlords, warehousemen and other bailees) that such Collateral is to be held
for the benefit of, and disposed of in accordance with the directions from, the
Term Agent.
 
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood by each of the
parties that to the extent that ABL Agent or Term Agent obtains a Lien in an
asset (of a type that is not included in the types of assets included in the
Collateral as of the date hereof or which would not constitute Collateral
without a grant of a security interest or lien separate from the ABL Loan
Documents or Term Loan Documents, as applicable, as in effect immediately prior
to obtaining such Lien on such asset) which the other party to this Agreement
elects not to obtain after receiving prior written notice thereof in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.3, the Collateral securing the ABL Loan
Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations will not be identical, and the
provisions of the documents, agreements and instruments evidencing such Liens
also will not be substantively similar, and any such difference in the scope or
extent of perfection with respect to the Collateral resulting therefrom are
hereby expressly permitted by this Agreement.

similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of ABL Obligations and
on account of Term Loan Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations
distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Term Loan
Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this
