lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral, the First Lien Collateral or such other collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, for
itself and on behalf of each applicable Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Junior Lien Secured Party 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 Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the First Lien Collateral or Common Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First
Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Secured Parties is adverse to the interests of the Junior Lien Secured Parties. 
 (d) The Junior Lien
Collateral Agent, each Junior Lien Representative and each Junior Lien Secured Party hereby acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Junior Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the
rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties with respect to the First Lien Collateral or Common Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Documents. 
 (e) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, none of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any other Junior Lien Representative
or any other Junior Lien Secured Party may assert or enforce any right of marshalling accorded to a junior lienholder, as against the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party (in their capacity as priority lienholders).

 (f) Section 3.1 hereof shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of any Junior Lien Secured Party from
exercising a credit bid with respect to the Junior 

  

 -12- 








 
Lien Obligations in a sale or other disposition of Common Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that in connection with
and immediately after giving effect to such sale and credit bid there occurs a Discharge of First Lien Obligations. 
 3.2.
Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), each of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each applicable Junior Lien Secured Party,
agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the First Lien Secured Parties and the First Lien Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing,
any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral or any other collateral under any of the applicable Junior Lien Documents or otherwise in respect of the
applicable Junior Lien Obligations. 
 SECTION 4. Payments. 
 4.1. Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the Common Collateral or proceeds thereof
received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured party, 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 until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the proviso of Section 5.1(a)(y) and subject to
Section 5.7 hereof, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver promptly to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 4.2. Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or First Lien Collateral or
proceeds thereof received by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set off or credit bid) or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding relating to the
Common Collateral not expressly permitted by this Agreement or prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent (and/or its
designees) for the benefit of the First Lien Secured Parties 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 Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any such Junior Lien Secured Party. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 SECTION 5. Other Agreements. 
 5.1. Releases. 
 (a)(x) If, at any time any Grantor or any First Lien Secured Party delivers notice to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent with respect to any specified
Common Collateral (including for such purpose, in the case of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the 

  

 -13- 








 
equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) that: 
 (A) such specified Common Collateral has been or is being sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (a “Disposition”) by
the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement and Section 4.11 of the Indenture; or 
 (B) the First Priority Liens thereon have been or are being released in connection with a Subsidiary that is released from its guarantee under the Credit Agreement and under the Indenture; or 
 (C) the First Priority Liens thereon have been or are being otherwise released as permitted by the Credit Agreement or by the First Lien
Collateral Agent on behalf of the First Lien Secured Parties (unless, in the case of clause (B) or (C) of this Section 5.1(a)(x) such release occurs in connection with, and after giving effect to, a Discharge of
First Lien Obligations, which discharge is not in connection with a foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, Common Collateral by the First Lien Secured Parties (such discharge not in connection with any such foreclosure or
exercise of remedies, a “Payment Discharge”)), 
 then the Junior Liens upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and
discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral securing First Lien Obligations are released and discharged (provided that in the case of a Payment Discharge, the Liens on any Common Collateral disposed of
in connection with the satisfaction in whole or in part of First Lien Obligations shall be automatically released but any proceeds thereof not used for purposes of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or otherwise in accordance with the Indenture
shall be subject to Junior Liens and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent of a notice from the First Lien Collateral Agent stating that any such release of Liens securing or
supporting the First Lien Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the Junior Lien Collateral Agent’s release), the Junior Lien Collateral Agent will promptly, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver such
instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable instruments, releases and
termination statements executed by the First Lien Collateral Agent in connection with such release. In the case of the sale of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any other transaction resulting in the release of such Subsidiary’s guarantee under
the Credit Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement, the guarantee in favor of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, if any, made by such Subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, the guarantee
by such Subsidiary of First Lien Obligations is released and discharged. 
 (y) In the event of a Payment Discharge, the
Junior Liens on Common Collateral owned by the Company or a Grantor immediately after giving effect to such Payment Discharge shall become first-priority security interests (subject to any intercreditor agreements or arrangements among Junior Lien
Secured Parties pursuant to Section 8.21 and subject to Liens permitted by the Indenture and, with respect to Shared Receivables Collateral, 

  

 -14- 








 
subject to the Receivables Intercreditor Agreement); provided that if the Company or the Grantors incur at any time thereafter any new or replacement
First Lien Obligations permitted under the Indenture, then the provisions of Section 5.7 shall apply as if a Refinancing of First Lien Obligations had occurred. 
 (b) The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint 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 Junior Lien
Collateral Agent 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 instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of
transfer or release. 
 (c) Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent for
itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of Common Collateral or other collateral to the repayment of First Lien Obligations pursuant to the Credit
Agreement. 
 5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent
and the First Lien Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, to the extent permitted by the First Lien Documents and subject to the rights of the Grantors thereunder, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Common
Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any
such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid (a) first, until to the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of First Lien Secured Parties
pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Junior Lien Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the
applicable Junior Lien Documents and (c) third, if no Junior 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. If
the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, such proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust for the
benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent and it shall forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2. 
 5.3. Amendments to Junior Lien Security Documents. 
 (a) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Junior Lien Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Junior Lien Security 

  

 -15- 








 
Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien
Representative agree that each applicable Junior Lien Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests granted to [the Junior Lien Collateral Agent] pursuant to this
Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by [the Junior Lien Collateral Agent] hereunder are subject to the limitations and provisions of the General Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2006 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among Bank of America, N.A., as First Lien Collateral Agent, and The Bank of New York, as Junior Lien Collateral Agent, and certain other persons
party or that may become party thereto from time to time, and consented to by HCA INC. and the Grantors identified therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.” 
 In addition, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf
of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, agree that each mortgage covering any Common Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such mortgage to the First Lien
Document covering such Common Collateral. 
 (b) In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties enter
into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the First Lien Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Security
Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Common Collateral in accordance with
Section 5.1), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Junior Lien Security Document without the consent of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien
Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party and without any action by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representative, the Company or any other Grantor; provided that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially
adversely affect the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties or the interests of the Junior Lien Secured Parties in the Common Collateral in a manner materially different from that affecting the rights of the First Lien Secured Parties thereunder
or therein. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver or consent (along with a copy thereof) to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the effectiveness of such amendment with respect to the provisions of any Junior Lien Security Document as set forth in this Section 5.3(b). 
 5.4. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an
unsecured creditor against the Company or any Subsidiary that has 

  

 -16- 








 
guaranteed the Junior Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Junior Lien Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement
shall prohibit the receipt by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party of required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Junior Lien Collateral
Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or other collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of Junior
Lien Obligations held by any of them or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In the event the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured
creditor in respect of Common Collateral, First Lien Collateral or other collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Lien Obligations or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be
subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Secured Parties may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral. 
 5.5. First Lien Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 
 (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral in its possession or control (or in the
possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit and on behalf of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Secured Party and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security
interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Junior Lien Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. 
 (b) In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against intellectual property that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in
such Common Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to act under such filings and hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of
perfecting the Liens granted in such Common Collateral pursuant to the Junior Lien Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5. 
 (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Lien Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Lien
Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or
to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this
Section 5.5 shall be 

  

 -17- 








 
limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit and on behalf of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien
Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Liens held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties. 
 (e) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not
have by reason of the Junior Lien Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party, and each of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, the Junior
Lien Representatives and the Junior Lien Secured Parties 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 5.5, as
agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral. 
 (f) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien
Collateral Agent shall (x) deliver to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent written notice of the occurrence thereof (which notice may state that such Discharge of First Lien Obligations is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including
without limitation Sections 5.1(a)(y), 5.7 and 6.3 hereof) (it being understood that until the delivery of such notice to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations or required to take any actions based on such Discharge of First Lien Obligations) and (y) deliver to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining
Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Junior Lien Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Company and
each Grantor shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify the First Lien Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by the First Lien Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer
except for loss or damage suffered by the First Lien Collateral Agent as a result of its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith. The First Lien Collateral Agent has no obligation to follow instructions from the Junior Lien Collateral
Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party in contravention of this Agreement. 
 (g) Neither the First Lien
Collateral Agent nor any of the First Lien Secured Parties shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien
Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement or the First Lien Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights in respect
of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. 
 (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation, duty or responsibility to any Junior Lien Secured Party or any other Person to possess or control (directly or
indirectly), as bailee, agent or otherwise, any Shared Receivables Collateral (including any ABL Controlled Accounts) at any time prior to the time that the Receivables Collateral Agent has delivered such Shared Receivables Collateral to the First
Lien Collateral Agent or has delivered such documents and endorsements as the First Lien Collateral Agent reasonably requests to enable the First Lien Collateral Agent to obtain control of such 

  

 -18- 








 
Shared Receivables Collateral, in each case in connection with a Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the Receivables Intercreditor Agreement). Upon
the First Lien Collateral Agent’s receipt of such Shared Receivables Collateral or its obtaining control thereof, in each case as reasonably determined by the First Lien Collateral Agent, the provisions of Sections 5.5(a), (b), (d) and
(f) shall apply with respect thereto to the extent such Shared Receivables Collateral constitutes Pledged Collateral. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent
to act as its collateral agent under each control agreement with respect to the ABL Controlled Accounts at any time after the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the Receivables Intercreditor Agreement) for the purpose of perfecting the
security interest granted in the ABL Controlled Accounts pursuant to the Junior Lien Security Documents, and the First Lien Collateral Agent accepts such appointment provided the ABL Facility Collateral Agent complies with Section 4.1(e) of the
Receivables Intercreditor Agreement. 
 5.6. [Intentionally Omitted] 
 5.7. No Release if Event of Reinstatement. If at any time in connection with or after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations the Company either
in connection therewith or thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of
this Agreement, the First Lien Documents and the Junior Lien Documents, and the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement (a “Reinstatement”),
including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein, and the related documents shall be treated as First Lien Documents for all purposes of this Agreement and the first lien collateral agent
under such Refinanced First Lien Documents shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Document (which notice shall include the
identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative shall promptly (at the expense of the Company) (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 confirm 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 the Pledged Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). In connection with any
such Reinstatement, in the event that any Liens were granted in favor of the Junior Lien Secured Parties on any Principal Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) prior to such Reinstatement, such Liens in favor in the Junior Lien Secured
Parties shall automatically be released and be deemed to be Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties, and the related documents shall be treated as First Lien Documents and the First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to amend such
documents to evidence the same. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such Reinstatement until it receives written notice from the First Lien Collateral Agent, New Agent or the Company of the occurrence of such
Reinstatement. 
  

 -19- 








 SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. 
 6.1. Financing Issues. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, each Junior Lien Representative and each other Junior Lien Secured Party agree that if the
Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: 
 (a) if the First Lien Collateral
Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law (“DIP
Financing”), including if such DIP Financing is secured by Liens senior in priority to the Liens securing the Indenture Obligations or the other Junior Lien Obligations, then the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien
Representative, each on behalf of itself and each applicable Junior Lien Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support any objection to, and will not otherwise contest such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and
will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.2) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such
DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the Common Collateral and any other collateral to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to
the First Priority Liens securing the First Lien Obligations; 
 (b) none of them will object to, or otherwise contest (or
support any other Person contesting), any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of First Lien Obligations made by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured
Party; 
 (c) none of them will object to, or otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting), any order relating
to a sale of assets of the Company or any Grantor for which the First Lien Collateral Agent has consented that provides, to the extent that sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien
Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the existing Liens in accordance with this Agreement; 
 (d) none of them will seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral, the First Lien Collateral or any other collateral without
the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent; 
 (e) none of them will object to, or otherwise contest (or
support any other Person contesting), (i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Party to
any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent’s or such First Lien Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection; 
  


 -20- 








 (f) none of them will assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the
Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral or First Lien Collateral; 
 (g) none of them will oppose or otherwise contest (or support any Person contesting) any lawful exercise by the First Lien Collateral
Agent or any First Lien Secured Party of the right to credit bid First Lien Obligations at any sale of Common Collateral or First Lien Collateral; and 
 (h) none of them will challenge (or support any other Person challenging) the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of the First Priority Liens on Common Collateral or First Lien Collateral (and the First
Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties agree not to challenge the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of the Liens in favor of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each other Junior Lien Secured Party on the Common
Collateral). 
 6.2. Adequate Protection. Each of the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, each Junior Lien Representative and each other
Junior Lien Secured Party agrees that it will not file or prosecute in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding any motion for adequate protection (or any comparable request for relief) based upon their respective security interests in the Common
Collateral, except that: 
 (1) any of them may freely seek and obtain relief granting a junior Lien co-extensive in all
respects with, but subordinated to, all Liens granted in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to, or for the benefit of, the First Lien Secured Parties (and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Secured Parties will not object to
the granting of such a junior Lien); and 
 (2) any of them may freely seek and obtain any relief upon a motion for adequate
protection (or any comparable relief), without any condition or restriction whatsoever, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations. 
 6.3. Preference Issues. If any First Lien Secured Party 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 (or any trustee, receiver or
similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of
any right of setoff or otherwise, then as among the parties hereto, the First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred, and such First Lien Secured
Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights 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. Any Common Collateral or First Lien Collateral or proceeds thereof received by
any Junior Lien Secured Party prior to the time of such Recovery shall be deemed to have been received prior to the Discharge of 

  

 -21- 








 
First Lien Obligations and subject to the provisions of Section 4.2. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give
written notice to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any such Recovery (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the First Lien Collateral Agents rights hereunder, except it being understood that until the
delivery of such notice to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such Recovery or required to take any actions based on such Recovery). 
 6.4. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable prior to and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All
references herein to any Grantor shall apply to any trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the Common Collateral and other collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing thereof on
the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. 
 6.5. 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 Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations
and on account of the Junior 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. 
 6.6. Post-Petition Interest. 
 (a) Neither the Junior Lien Collateral Agent nor any Junior Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral
Agent or any First Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses. 
 (b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Junior Lien
Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Junior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien in favor of the
Junior Lien Secured Parties on the Common Collateral (after taking into account the Lien in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties). 
 6.7.
Nature of Obligations; Post-Petition Interest. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Junior Lien Secured
Parties’ claims against the Company and/or any Grantor in respect of the Common Collateral constitute junior claims separate and apart (and of a different class) from the senior claims of the First Lien Secured Parties against the Company and
the Grantor in respect of the Common Collateral, (ii) the First Lien Obligations include all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any Grantor at the rate provided for in the
applicable First Lien Documents governing the same, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed or 

  

 -22- 








 
allowable in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” under
Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims against the Company or any Grantor in respect of the Common Collateral
constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior claims), then the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees
that all distributions pursuant to Section 4.1 or otherwise shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Company and the Grantors in respect of the Common Collateral (with the effect
being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the First Lien Secured Parties
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract rate (even though such claims
may or may not be allowed in whole or in part in the respective Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties,
with the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the holders of the First Lien Obligations all amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent
needed to effectuate the intent of this sentence even if such turnover of amounts has the effect of reducing the amount of the claim of the Junior Lien Secured Parties). 
 6.8. Proofs of Claim. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent may file proofs of claim and other pleadings and motions with respect to any First Lien Obligations,
any Junior Lien Obligations or the Common Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. If a proper proof of claim has not been filed in the form required in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at least ten (10) days prior to
the expiration of the time for filing thereof, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to any of the Junior Lien
Obligations or any of the Common Collateral. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Junior Lien
Collateral Agent and full power of substitution and in the name of the Junior Lien Secured Parties or otherwise, to execute and deliver any document or instrument that the First Lien Collateral Agent is required or permitted to deliver pursuant to
this Section 6.8, such appointment being coupled with an interest and irrevocable. 
 6.9. Plan of Reorganization. Without
limiting the generality of any provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the
terms of this Agreement, and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization dismissed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn.

 SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc. 
 7.1. Reliance. The consent by the First Lien Secured Parties to the execution and delivery of the Junior Lien Documents to which the First Lien
Secured Parties have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the date hereof by the First Lien Secured Parties to the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance
upon this Agreement. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each applicable Junior Lien Secured Party, acknowledges that it and the applicable Junior Lien Secured Parties have, independently and
without reliance on the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Secured Parties, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the applicable Junior Lien Document,
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Junior Lien Document or this Agreement. 
 7.2. No Warranties or Liability. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Lien Secured Party, acknowledges and agrees
that neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any of the First Lien Secured Parties has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or
enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Lien Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and
extensions of credit under the First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they, in their sole discretion, may otherwise deem appropriate, and the First Lien Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to
any rights or interests that the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representatives or any of the Junior Lien Secured Parties have in the Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the First
Lien Collateral Agent nor any First Lien Secured Parties shall have any duty to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in,
the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof (including the Junior Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except
as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each
other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of any of the Junior Lien Obligations, the First Lien Obligations or any
guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Company’s title to or right to transfer any of the Common Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement. 
 7.3. Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Collateral Agent and
the First Lien Secured Parties, and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: 
  

 -24- 








 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Lien Documents or any Junior Lien
Documents; 
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First
Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other First Lien
Document or of the terms of the Indenture or any other Junior Lien Document; 
 (c) any exchange of any security interest in
any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

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

 (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any
other Grantor in respect of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations in respect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.
Miscellaneous. 
 8.1. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.19, in the event of any conflict between the provisions
of this Agreement and the provisions of any First Lien Document or any Junior Lien Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
 8.2. Continuing Nature of This Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 5.1(a)(y), Section 5.7 and Section 6.3, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations shall have occurred or such later time as all the Obligations in respect of the Junior Lien Obligations shall have been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination, and the First Lien Secured Parties may continue,
at any time and without notice to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or any Junior Lien Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Company or any other Grantor constituting First
Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. 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. 
 8.3. Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or
the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent or their respective authorized agents, and consented to in
writing by the Company, and each waiver, if any, shall be a 

  

 -25- 








 
waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the
other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3 to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Company, at the Company’s
expense, and without the consent of First Lien Collateral Agent, any First Lien Secured Party, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party to (i) provide for a replacement First Lien
Collateral Agent in accordance with the First Lien Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a replacement First Lien Collateral Agent assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the Credit Agreement), provide for a
replacement Junior Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the Junior Lien Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a replacement Junior Lien Collateral Agent assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the Junior
Lien Documents permitted hereunder) and/or secure additional extensions of credit or add other parties holding First Lien Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations to the extent such Indebtedness does not expressly violate the Credit Agreement or the
Indenture and (ii) in the case of such additional Junior Lien Obligations, (a) establish that the Liens on the Common Collateral securing such Junior Lien Obligations shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the
Common Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations (at least to the same extent as (taken together as a whole) the Liens on the Common Collateral in favor of the Junior Lien Obligations are junior and subordinate to the Liens on the Common
Collateral in favor of the First Lien Obligations pursuant to this Agreement immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional Junior Lien Obligations) and (b) provide to the holders of such Junior Lien Obligations (or any agent or trustee
thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the First Lien Collateral Agent) as are provided to the Junior Lien Secured Parties under this Agreement. Such amendments adding
additional agents may be accomplished by delivering to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent an “Additional Party Addendum” hereto substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, accompanied
by an Officers’ Certificate referred to below. Any such additional party and agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Company that such modifications do not expressly violate the Credit Agreement, the other First
Lien Documents, the Indenture, the other Indenture Documents and this Agreement if such determination is set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to such party, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Junior Lien Collateral Agent. For
the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed to among the Junior Lien Secured Parties (and in addition to any additional requirements with respect to any Indenture Obligations set forth in the Indenture), the Junior Lien Collateral Agent shall
for all purposes hereof act at the direction of the Junior Lien Secured Parties holding a majority of then outstanding Junior Lien Obligations. 
 8.4. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, each Junior Lien Representative and the Junior
Lien Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Company and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations
and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Junior Lien Obligations. The First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, each Junior
Lien Representative and the Junior 

  

 -26- 








 
Lien Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such
circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the First Lien Collateral Agent, any First Lien Secured Party, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, any Junior Lien Representative or any Junior Lien Secured Party, in its or their sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Secured Parties, the Junior Lien Collateral
Agent, the Junior Lien Representatives and the Junior Lien Secured Parties 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, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable
commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Junior Lien Collateral Agent and each Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each applicable Junior Lien Secured Party, assents to any such 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, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the First Lien Obligations and to the
addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

parties hereto consent to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in New York, New York, and consent that all service of process may be made by registered mail directed to such party as provided in Section 8.8 for such party.

the venue of any action instituted hereunder in any such court. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY
COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, VERBAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENT OR ACTION OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. 
 8.8. Notices. All notices to the First Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the Junior Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Junior

in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that any reference to any such Section, clause, paragraph or other provision shall refer to such Section, clause, paragraph or other provision of the applicable First Lien Document or Junior

 -29- 








 
any definition contained therein), as amended or modified from time to time if such amendment or modification has been made in accordance with the applicable
First Lien Document or Junior Lien Document. 
 8.21. Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, each party hereto agrees that the Junior Lien Secured Parties (as among themselves) may enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the Junior Lien Secured
Parties in respect of the Common Collateral, this Agreement and the other Junior Lien Documents, including as to application of proceeds of the Common Collateral, voting rights, control of the Common Collateral and waivers with respect to the Common
Collateral, in each case so long as the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or the Indenture Documents. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) exists, the provisions
thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other First Lien Security Document or Junior Lien Security Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other First Lien
Security Documents and Junior Lien Security Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with
the terms hereof and thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)). The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Secured

contained herein and for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) entered into by Junior Lien Secured Parties (as among themselves) governing the rights, benefits and privileges among Junior Lien
Secured Parties in respect of Common Collateral as referred to above, the Trustee, acting on behalf of the Indenture Secured Parties, may, at the written request of the Company, enter into and execute on behalf of itself and the Indenture Secured
Parties, any intercreditor agreement with any other Junior Lien Representative on behalf of other Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to Common Collateral to the extent permitted under the First Lien Documents and the Indenture Documents, which
intercreditor agreement is substantially identical to this Agreement except that the liens on the Common Collateral granted to such other Junior Lien Secured Parties shall be junior and subordinated to the Junior Liens on Common Collateral granted
to the Indenture Secured Parties pursuant to the Indenture Security Documents substantially to the same extent as the Junior Liens on Common Collateral are junior and subordinate to the First Priority Liens granted to the First Lien Secured Parties
under this Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on an Officers’ Certificate and/or an opinion of counsel, as requested by the Trustee and at the Company’s expense, that such intercreditor
agreement satisfies the criterion set forth in the preceding sentence. 
 8.22. Acknowledgement. The Junior Lien Collateral Agent
hereby acknowledges for itself and on behalf of each Junior Lien Secured Party that there are assets of the Company 

  

 -30- 








 
and its Subsidiaries (including Grantors) which are subject to Liens in favor of the First Lien Secured Parties or other creditors but which do not
constitute Common Collateral, and nothing in this Agreement shall grant or imply the grant of any Lien or other security interest in such assets in favor of any Junior Lien Secured Party to secure any Junior Lien Obligations. In addition, each of
the parties hereto acknowledges that the Shared Receivables Collateral is subject in all respects to the provisions of the Receivables Intercreditor Agreement.
