(v) any other circumstance of any kind or nature whatsoever, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby agrees that: (a) any Lien on the Common Collateral securing any Senior
Lender Claims now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or any Senior Lenders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall have priority

junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims. All Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on
the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims for all purposes, whether or not such Liens securing any Senior Lender Claims are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other
Person. 
 2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable
Second Priority Secured Party, and each First Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Senior Lender in respect of which it serves as First Lien Agent, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge,

2.3 No New Liens. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred and subject to Section 6, each Second
Priority Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Grantor, that it shall not acquire
or hold any Lien on any assets of the Borrower or any other Grantor securing any Second Priority Claims that are not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior Lender Documents. If any Second
Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any collateral that is not also subject to the first-priority Lien in respect of the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior
Lender Documents, then such Second Priority Agent shall, without the need for any further consent of any party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the
First Lien Agents as security for the Senior Lender Claims (subject to the lien priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify each First Lien Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien and in any event take such actions as may be
requested by any First Lien Agent to assign or release such Liens to the First Lien Agents (and/or each of its designee) as security for the applicable Senior Lender Claims. 

2.4 Perfection of Liens. Neither the First Lien Agents nor the Senior Lenders shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining
the perfection of Liens with respect to the Common Collateral for the benefit of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties. The provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as
between the Senior Lenders and the Second Priority Secured Parties and shall 
  

 -9- 








 
not impose on the First Lien Agents, the Second Priority Agents, the Second Priority Secured Parties or the Senior Lenders or any agent or trustee therefor any obligations in respect of the
disposition of proceeds of any Common Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law. 

2.5 Waiver of Marshalling. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the
applicable Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal,
valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Common Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

Second Priority Claims and has demanded, in writing, the repayment of such applicable Second Priority Claims from the Borrower and/or any other Grantor, as the case may be, and (ii) if and only if, as of the expiration of such one hundred

Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Second Priority Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders seek to enforce or collect the Senior Lender
Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Senior Lender Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties.

 (d) Each Second Priority Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any
applicable Second Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Lender Documents.

 3.2 Cooperation. Subject to the provisos to clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), each Second Priority Agent, on
behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the Senior Lenders and any First Lien
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 Second
Priority Documents or otherwise in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims relating to the Common Collateral. 
 3.3
Actions Upon Breach. If any Second Priority Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation,
any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), this Agreement shall create 
  

 -12- 








 
an irrebuttable presumption and admission by such Second Priority Secured Party that relief against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate
equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the Senior Lenders, it being understood and agreed by each Second Priority Agent on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the Senior Lenders’ damages
from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the Senior Lenders cannot demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by
the awarding of damages. 
 SECTION 4. Payments. 

4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, the Common Collateral and any
other collateral in respect of the Second Priority Claims or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral or other collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured
party, shall be applied by the First Lien Agents to the Senior Lender Claims in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Lender Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims each
of the First Lien Agents shall deliver promptly to the Second Priority Designated 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 to be applied by the Second Priority Designated Agent ratably to the Second Priority Claims in such order as specified in the Second Priority Documents. 

4.2 Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or other collateral in respect of the Second Priority Claims or proceeds thereof received
by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) relating to the Common Collateral or such other collateral prior to the Discharge of Senior
Lender Claims shall be segregated and held for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the First-Priority Designated Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the Senior Lenders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements
or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agents are each hereby individually authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Second Priority Agent or any such Second Priority Secured Party. This
authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 SECTION 5. Other Agreements. 

5.1 Releases. 

(a) If, at any time any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Lender Claim delivers notice to each Second Priority Agent that any specified
Common Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) (including for such purpose, in the case of the sale of equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such
Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) is: 
 (A) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by
the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Other First-Priority 

 

 -13- 








 
Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture and each other Senior Lender Document and Second Priority Document (if any); or 

(B) otherwise released as permitted by the Credit Agreement and, except with respect to an exercise by the First Lien
Agent pursuant to Section 3.1, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture and each other Senior Lender Document and Second Priority Document (if any), 

then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties 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 Senior Lender Claims are released and discharged. Upon delivery to each Second Priority Agent of a
notice from any First Lien Agent stating that any release of Liens se-curing or supporting the Senior Lender Claims has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Second Priority Agent’s release) (whether in connection with a sale of
such assets by the relevant Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence or otherwise), each Second Priority Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on
customary terms. 
 (b) Each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party,
hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of such First Lien 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 each Second Priority Agent or such holder or in such First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in such First Lien 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 Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, for itself and
on behalf of each applicable Second Priority 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 Senior Lender Claims pursuant to the Senior
Lender Documents; provided that nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority Agents or the Second Priority Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second
Priority Claims not otherwise in contravention of this Agreement. 
 5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of
Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Lender Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering
the Common Collateral or any other collateral in respect of the Second Priority Claims in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral or such other
collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Lender Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and 

 

 -14- 








 
any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral or such other collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the First
Lien Agents for the benefit of Senior Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Senior Lender Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the Second Priority Agents for the benefit of the Second
Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and (c) third, if no Second Priority Claims are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or
as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement,
it shall pay such proceeds over to any First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2. 
 5.3 Amendments
to Second Priority Collateral Documents. 
 (a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, without
the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second
Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. Each Second Priority Agent agrees that each applicable Second Priority Collateral Document executed as of the date hereof shall include the
following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Agents): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [applicable Second Priority Agent for the benefit of the [Secured Parties]] pursuant to this agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security
interests granted to Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent (and its permitted successors), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below, pursuant to the [Collateral Agreement] dated as of July 12, 2010 (as
amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), from [the Borrower and the other “Pledgors” referred to therein], in favor of Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc., as collateral agent for the benefit of
the secured parties referred to therein [and to the liens and security interests granted to [Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Agent] pursuant to [Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Security Document (as amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time)]], and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [applicable Second Priority Agent] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of July 12, 2010 (as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. in its capacity as First Lien Agent and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Trustee. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.” 

(b) In the event that the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace
any Senior Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any pro-visions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agents, the
Senior Lenders, the Borrower or any other Grantor thereunder (including the 
  

 -15- 








 
release of any Liens in Senior Lender Collateral), then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second Priority Collateral
Document without the consent of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and without any action by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not
materially adversely affect the rights of the Second Priority Secured Parties or the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties in the Second Priority Collateral. The relevant First Lien Agent shall give written notice of such amendment,
waiver or consent to each Second Priority Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Second Priority Collateral Document
as set forth in this Section 5.3(b). 
 (c) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, until the Discharge
of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, no Second Priority Collateral Document shall be entered into unless the collateral covered thereby is also subject to a perfected first-priority interest in favor of the First Lien Agents for the benefit of the
Senior Lenders pursuant to the Senior Collateral Documents. 
 5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Borrower or any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Second Priority Documents and applicable law, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority
Secured Party of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of (a) the exercise by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a
secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or other collateral or (b) enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of Second Priority Claims held by any of them. In the event any Second Priority Agent or any
Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or other collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Claims
or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under
this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders may have with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral. 

5.5 First Lien Agents as Gratuitous Bailees for Perfection. 

(a) Each First Lien Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or
control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the
Second Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (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).

  

 -16- 








 (b) In the event that any First Lien Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings
against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Senior Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, such First Lien Agent agrees to hold such
Liens as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreements, 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 Senior Lender Claims has occurred, any First Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did
not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 

(d) The First Lien Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority 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 Agents under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second Priority
Secured Parties. 
 (e) The First Lien Agents shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this
Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby waive and release the First Lien
Agents from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Agents’ role under this Section 5.5, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral. 

(f) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the relevant First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second Priority Designated Agent, to
the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and to the extent such Pledged Collateral is in the pos-session or control of such First Lien Agent (or its agents or bailees) together with any necessary
endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 

(g) Neither the First Lien Agents nor the Senior Lenders shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the
Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders under the Credit Agreement or the Senior Collateral 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. 
 5.6 Second Priority Designated Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 

 

 -17- 








 (a) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second Priority Designated 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 other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the
purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the applicable Second Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6. 

(b) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as
defined in the Senior Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second Priority Designated
Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for the other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the applicable Second Priority Collateral
Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6. 
 (c) The Second Priority Designated Agent, in its
capacity as gratuitous bailee, shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other Second Priority Agents or the First Lien Agent to as-sure 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 5.6. The duties or responsibilities of the Second Priority Designated Agent under this Section 5.6 upon the Discharge of Senior
Lender Claims shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the other Second Priority Agents for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties. 

(d) The Second Priority Designated Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any
other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Second Priority Agents (or the Second Priority Secured Parties for which such other Second Priority Agents are agents) and the other Second Priority Agents hereby waive and release the
Second Priority Designated Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Second Priority Designated Agent’s role under this Section 5.6, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral. 

(e) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent shall cease to be so designated the Second Priority Designated Agent pursuant
to the definition of such term, the then Second Priority Designated Agent shall deliver to the successor Second Priority Designated 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 successor Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and such successor Second Priority Designated
Agent shall perform all duties of the Second Priority Designated Agent as set forth herein. 
 5.7 No Release Upon Discharge
of Senior Lender Claims. Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, on the date of Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second Priority Liens on the Second Priority Collateral securing the Second Priority Claims will not
be released except to the extent such Second Priority Collateral or any portion 
  

 -18- 








 
thereof was disposed of in compliance with the terms of this Agreement in order to repay Senior Lender Claims secured by such Second Priority Collateral. 

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings. 

6.1 Financing Issues. If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is a Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding and any First Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or
any similar provision in any Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support
any objection to, and will not otherwise contest (a) 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 6.3) and, to
the extent the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior Lender Documents 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 Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement, (b) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or
from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Lender Claims made by any First Lien Agent or any holder of Senior Lender Claims, (c) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Lender Claims of the right to credit
bid Senior Lender Claims at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Lender Collateral, (d) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any holder of Senior Lender Claims relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Lender
Collateral or (e) any order relating to a sale of assets of any Grantor for which any First Lien Agent has consented that provides, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and
the Second Priority Claims will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the Senior Lender Collateral do to the Liens securing the Second Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.

 6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority
Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral or any
other collateral, without the prior written consent of all First Lien Agents and Required Lenders. 
 6.3 Adequate
Protection. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by any First Lien Agent or Senior
Lenders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on such First Lien Agent’s or the Senior Lenders’ claiming a lack of adequate protection.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of
cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any 
  

 -19- 








 
similar Bankruptcy Law, then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and any applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (A) may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a
replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority
Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement and (B) agrees that it will not seek or request, and will not accept, adequate protection in any other form, and (ii) in the event any Second
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any applicable Second Priority Secured Party, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second Priority Agent, on behalf of
itself or each such Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that the First Lien Agents shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the applicable Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien
on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Claims shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted
to the Senior Lenders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement. 

6.4 Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Lender is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or
otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any
amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then as among the parties hereto the Senior Lender Claims shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such
Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the Senior Lenders shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights hereunder until such time. 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. 
 6.5 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. 

6.6 Waivers. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each
applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims for costs or expenses of
preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral or other collateral, and (b) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Senior Lender of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code.

7.1 Reliance. The consent by the Senior Lenders to the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Documents to which the Senior
Lenders have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after Closing Date by the Senior Lenders to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement.
Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, acknowledges that it and the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties is not entitled to rely on any credit decision or other decisions made by any
First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender in taking or not taking any action under the applicable Second Priority Document or this Agreement.

or implied representation or warranty upon which the Second Priority Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties may rely, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the
Senior Lender Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Lenders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Senior Lender
Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Lenders may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that any Second Priority Agent
or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to any Second Priority Agent or any
Second Priority 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 Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (including the
Second Priority 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 Agents, the Senior Lenders, the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority
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 Second Priority Claims, the Senior Lender Claims or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Borrower’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 Agents and the Senior Lenders, and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect irrespective of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Lender Documents or any
Second Priority Documents; 
 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms
of, all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second Priority Claims, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount 

 

 -21- 








 
thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Lender Document or of the terms of the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture
or any other Second Priority 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 Senior Lender Claims or Second Priority Claims or any guarantee thereof; 

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

 (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense avail-able to, or a discharge of, the
Borrower or any other Grantor in respect of the Senior Lender Claims, or of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party 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 Senior Lender Document or any Second Priority Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
 8.2
Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.4, this Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall have occurred or such later time as all the Obligations in respect
of the Second Priority Claims shall have been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Lenders may continue, at any time and without notice to each Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party,
to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Grantor constituting Senior Lender Claims 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. Subject to Section 8.22 hereof, no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of
this Agreement by any Second Priority Agent or any First Lien Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same 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 Borrower and the other
Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights are adversely affected (in which case the Borrower shall have the right to consent
to or approve any such amendment, modification or waiver).

 8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries.
Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any obligation to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to keep the Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party informed of, and the Second
Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not be entitled to rely on the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders with respect to, (a) the financial condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries and all endorsers, pledgors

agent for such Future Second Lien Indebtedness shall execute and deliver to each First Lien Agent and Second Priority Agent, a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Credit Agreement Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.22 or in Section 8.3 hereof, any First Lien Agent and/or any Second Priority Agent may, and, at the request of the Borrower,
shall, in each case, without the consent of any other First Lien Agent or Second Priority Agent, any Senior Lender or any Second Priority Secured Party, enter into a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment, an amendment and
restatement or a supplement of this Agreement) to facilitate the designation of such additional obligations as Other First-Priority Lien Obligations or Future Second Lien Indebtedness. Any such amendment may, among other things, (i) add other
parties holding Future Second Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee therefor) to the extent such Indebtedness is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior
Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness, (ii) add other parties holding Obligations arising under the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents (or any agent or
trustee thereof) to the extent such Obligations are not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document
governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness, (iii) in the case of Future Second Lien Indebtedness, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Future Second Lien Indebtedness shall be junior and subordinate in all
respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims, and
(b) provide to the holders of such Future Second Lien Indebtedness (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 Agents) as are
provided to the holders of Second Priority Claims under the foregoing Agreement prior to the incurrence of such Future Second Lien Indebtedness, and (iv) in the case of Obligations arising under Other First-Priority Lien Obligations Credit
Documents, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Obligations shall be superior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims and any Future Second Lien Indebtedness and
shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any other Senior Lender Claims, and (b) provide to the holders of such Obligations arising under the Other First-Priority
Lien Obligations Credit Documents (or any agent or trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits as are provided to the holders of Senior Lender Claims under the foregoing Agreement prior to the incurrence of such Obligations. Any such
additional party, each First Lien Agent and each Second Priority Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Borrower that such modifications do not violate the Credit Agreement, the Other First-Priority Lien Obligations
Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party, the
First Lien Agents and each Second Priority Agent; provided, however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Borrower has complied with its undertakings in the Credit Agreement, the Other First-Priority Lien
Obligations Credit Documents, the Senior Collateral Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture, any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness or the Second Priority Collateral Documents.

 8.23 Intercreditor Agreements. Each party hereto agrees that the Senior Lenders (as
among themselves) and the Second Priority Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the applicable First Lien Agent or Second Priority Agent governing the rights, benefits and
privileges as among the Senior Lenders or the Second Priority Secured Parties, as the case may be, in respect of the Common Collateral, this Agreement and the other Senior Collateral Documents or Second Priority Collateral Documents, as the case may
be, 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 (A) the terms thereof do not violate or conflict
with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Senior Collateral Documents or Second Priority Collateral Documents, as the case may be, (B) in the case of any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) affecting any Senior
Lenders, the First Lien Agent acting on behalf of such Senior Lenders agrees in its sole discretion to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) and (C) in the case of any such intercreditor agreement (or similar
arrangement) affecting the Senior Lenders holding Senior Lender Claims under the Credit Agreement, such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is permitted under the Credit Agreement or the Required Lenders otherwise authorize the
applicable First Lien Agent to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement). Notwithstanding the preceding clauses (B) and (C), to the extent that the applicable First Lien Agent is not authorized by the Required Lenders
to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) or does not agree to enter into such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement), such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) shall not be binding upon the
applicable First Lien Agent but, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, may still bind the other parties party thereto. 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 Senior Collateral Document or Second Priority Collateral Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Senior Collateral Documents
and Second Priority Collateral 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
thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).
