   - 29 -    (b) Prior to the Payment in Full of Term Priority Debt, the ABL Claimholders will  not receive or retain any proceeds of Term Priority Collateral in connection with any Enforcement Action  or Term Default Disposition, and any such proceeds received or retained in any other circumstance will  be subject to Section 4.2.   3.6 Non-Interference. Subject to any specific provision of this Agreement to the  contrary, including Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 6, each of the Term Agent and the ABL Agent hereby:  (i) agrees that the Junior Claimholders will not take any action that would  restrain, hinder, limit, delay or otherwise interfere with any Enforcement Action (or other action  not prohibited hereunder) by the Priority Agent with respect to its Priority Collateral, including  any Disposition of such Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;  (ii) waives any and all rights that any Junior Claimholder may have as a  junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the Priority Agent or the Priority  Claimholders seek to enforce or collect their Debt or the Liens securing such Debt granted in any  of the Priority Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of such  Priority Agent or the Priority Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Junior Agent or the  Junior Claimholders;  (iii) waives any and all rights that any Claimholder may have to oppose,  object to, or seek to restrict the Priority Agent or any Priority Claimholder from exercising their  rights to set off or credit bid its Debt; and  (iv) acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement, or restriction  contained in the applicable Collateral Documents or any other of the applicable Loan Documents  (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the  Priority Agent or the Priority Claimholders with respect to their Priority Collateral as set forth in  this Agreement and such Priority Agent’s Loan Documents.  3.7 Unsecured Creditor Remedies. Except as set forth in Sections 2.2, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3,  3.6, 3.8 and 6, the Agents and the other Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured  creditors generally against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents  and applicable law so long as doing so is not in violation of the terms of this Agreement; provided that in  the event that any Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its  enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to its Debt, such judgment Lien shall be  subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes as the other Liens securing such Debt.  3.8 Commercially Reasonable Dispositions; Notice of Exercise.   (a) The Term Agent hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any  right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection),  at any time prior to or subsequent to any Disposition of any of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the  ground(s) that any such Disposition of ABL Priority Collateral (i) would not be or was not “commercially  reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC or (ii) would not or did not comply with any other  requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which  a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on Real Property) is to realize on its collateral.  (b) The ABL Agent hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waives any  right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection),  at any time prior to or subsequent to any Disposition of any of the Term Priority Collateral, on the  





 






   - 30 -    ground(s) that any such Disposition of Term Priority Collateral (i) would not be or was not  “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC or (ii) would not or did not comply  with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the  manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on Real Property) is to realize on its  collateral.

In addition, if the ABL Agent, or any agent, representative or  Affiliate of the ABL Agent, or any receiver, shall obtain possession or physical control of any of the  Mortgaged Property, or any material portion of the tangible Term Priority Collateral located on any  premises other than Mortgaged Property or control over any material intangible Term Priority Collateral,  following the delivery to the Term Agent of an Enforcement Notice, then the ABL Agent may at any time  thereafter, without qualifying, limiting or waiving the provisions of Sections 4.2 and 5.4 hereof, notify the  Term Agent in writing that the ABL Agent is exercising its access rights under this Agreement under  either circumstance. Upon delivery of such notice by the ABL Agent to the Term Agent, the parties shall  confer in good faith to coordinate with respect to the ABL Agent’s exercise of such access rights.  Consistent with the definition of “Use Period,” access rights may apply to differing parcels of Mortgaged  Property and if located at different parcels of Mortgaged Property, to different assets that constitute a  portion of the Term Priority Collateral, in each case at differing times, in which case, a differing Use  Period will apply to each such property and to each such portion of the Term Priority Collateral located at  different parcels of Mortgaged Property. For the avoidance of doubt, different Use Periods shall not apply  with regard to Term Priority Collateral located at the same parcel of Mortgaged Property.  (b) Without limiting any rights any of the ABL Claimholders may otherwise have  under applicable law or by agreement and whether or not any of the Term Claimholders has commenced  and is continuing to undertake any Enforcement Action, the Term Agent hereby grants to the ABL Agent  an irrevocable, non-exclusive right to have access to, and a royalty-free and rent-free license (subject,  however, to the payment of any royalties to third parties that are not Grantors or Affiliates thereof that are  due as a result of the exploitation of any licensed Intellectual Property) and right to use the Term Priority  Collateral, including, without limitation, Intellectual Property, general intangibles and Real Property and  equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records,  documents or files (and in the case of Term Priority Collateral that constitutes Intellectual Property, the  Term Agent hereby grants to the ABL Agent a non-excusive, irrevocable, fully-paid and royalty-free  license to use such Intellectual Property) during the Use Period to the maximum extent permitted by  applicable law and to the extent of the Term Agent’s interest therein (subject to, for the avoidance of  doubt, any third party licenses (i) to access the ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) to assemble, inspect, copy  or download information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, process raw materials or work-in- process into finished Inventory, take possession of, move, package, prepare and advertise for sale or  disposition, sell (by public auction, private sale or a “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in  bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include

This Agreement will not restrict the rights of the Term Agent  to sell, assign or otherwise transfer the related Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use  Period if (but only if) the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of  this Section 3.9.  (c) During the period of actual occupation, use or control by the ABL Agent (or its  respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL  Agent shall be obligated to (i) pay any utility, rental, lease or similar charges and payments owed to third  parties that accrue during, or that arise as a result of, such use to the extent not paid by the Grantors and  (ii) repair at its expense any physical damage (ordinary wear and tear excepted) to such Term Priority  Collateral caused by such occupancy, use or control (including the removal of any Collateral from the  premises) by the ABL Agent or its agents, representatives or designees; provided that neither the ABL  Agent nor the ABL Claimholders will be liable for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority  Collateral caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom. Notwithstanding the  foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Agent have any liability to any of the Term Claimholders pursuant  to this Section 3.9 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability)  on or with respect to the Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL  Agent of its rights under this Section 3.9, and the ABL Agent shall have no duty or liability to maintain  the Term Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to  the use thereof by the ABL Agent, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral that  results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Term Priority Collateral by the  ABL Agent in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 3.9 and subject to the  terms hereof. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 3.9, the ABL Agent shall use  commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Term Agent in connection with any efforts made  by the Term Claimholders to sell the Term Priority Collateral.  (d) Consistent with the definition of the term “Use Period,” if any order or injunction  is issued or stay is granted or is otherwise effective by operation of law that prohibits the ABL Agent  from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then the Use Period granted to the ABL Agent under this  Section 3.9 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the  number of days remaining under this Section 3.9. The Term Agent agrees, for the benefit of the ABL  Agent, that it shall not be permitted to sell or dispose of any of the Term Priority Collateral during the  Use Period unless the buyer agrees in writing to acquire the Term Priority Collateral subject to the terms  of Section 3.9 of this Agreement and agrees therein to comply with the terms of this Section 3.9. The  rights of the ABL Agent under this Section 3.9 during the Use Period shall continue notwithstanding such  foreclosure, sale or other disposition by the Term Agent.  (e) Except as expressly provided herein, the ABL Agent shall not be obligated to pay  any amounts to the Term Claimholders (or any Person claiming by, through or under the Term  Claimholders, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to any Grantor, for or in respect  





 






   - 32 -    of the use by the ABL Agent of the Term Priority Collateral. In each case, all amounts paid by the ABL  Agent hereunder shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the ABL Debt.  (f) The ABL Agent shall use the Term Priority Collateral in accordance with  applicable law.  (g) The Term Agent (i) will not hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Agent from  enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, or from finishing any work-in-process with  respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section  3.9(b), and (ii) will permit the ABL Agent, its employees, agents, advisers and representatives to exercise  the rights described in Section 3.9(b), subject to the terms and conditions thereof.  (h) Subject to the terms hereof, the Term Agent may advertise and conduct public  auctions or private sales of the Term Priority Collateral, without the involvement of, or interference by,  any of the ABL Claimholders or liability to any of the ABL Claimholders as long as, in the case of an  actual sale, the respective purchaser assumes and agrees in advance in writing to the obligations of the  Term Agent under this Section 3.9. If the ABL Agent conducts a public auction or private sale of the  ABL Priority Collateral at any of the Real Property included within the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL  Agent shall provide the Term Agent with reasonable prior notice of such sale and shall use reasonable  efforts to hold such auction or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt or interfere with the Term  Agent’s use of such real property.  (i) For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the other  provisions of this Agreement, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the ABL Agent shall have the  right to bring an action to enforce its rights under this Section 3.9 and Section 3.10, including an action  seeking possession of the applicable Collateral or specific performance of this Section 3.9 and Section  3.10.   3.10 Sharing of Information and Access. If the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of  its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any Books  of any Grantor which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the Term Priority Collateral,  the ABL Agent shall, upon request from the Term Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either  make available to the Term Agent such Books for inspection and duplication or provide to the Term  Agent copies thereof. In the event that the Term Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term  Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any Books of any Grantor which contain  information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall, upon  request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL  Agent such Books for inspection and duplication or provide to the ABL Agent copies thereof.  3.11 Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. Prior to an issuance of any Enforcement  Notice by a Claimholder (unless a bankruptcy or insolvency ABL Default or Term Default then exists),  any Proceeds of Collateral obtained in accordance with the terms of the ABL Documents and the Term  Documents, whether or not deposited under control agreements, which are used by any Grantor to acquire  other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Claimholders) be treated as Proceeds of  Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In  addition, unless and until the Payment in Full of the ABL Priority Debt occurs, the Term Agent hereby  consents to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by the  Term Agent, of cash or other Proceeds of Collateral, deposited under deposit account control agreements  to the repayment of ABL Debt pursuant to the ABL Documents.

The ABL Agent hereby appoints the Term Agent as its gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary  representative for the purposes of perfecting its security interest in all Pledged Collateral in which the  Term Agent has a perfected security interest under the UCC. Each of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent  hereby accepts such appointment pursuant to this Section 5.4 and acknowledges and agrees that it shall  hold possession or have control for the benefit of and on behalf of the other Claimholders with respect to  any Pledged Collateral and that any Proceeds received by the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case  may be, under any Pledged Collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 4. Unless and until the  Payment in Full of ABL Priority Debt has occurred, the Term Agent agrees to promptly (upon its actual  knowledge thereof) notify the ABL Agent of any Pledged Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral  held by it or by any other Term Claimholder, and, promptly upon the request of the ABL Agent at any  time prior to the Payment in Full of ABL Priority Debt, the Term Agent agrees to deliver to the ABL  Agent, upon its request, any such Pledged Collateral held by it or by any other Term Claimholder,  together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the ABL Agent to obtain control of such  Pledged Collateral). Unless and until the Payment in Full of Term Priority Debt has occurred, the ABL  Agent agrees to promptly (upon its actual knowledge thereof) notify the Term Agent of any Pledged  Collateral constituting Term Priority Collateral held by it or by any other ABL Claimholder, and,  promptly upon the request of the Term Agent at any time prior to the Payment in Full of Term Priority  Debt, the ABL Agent agrees to deliver to the Term Agent any such Pledged Collateral held by it or by  any other ABL Claimholder, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Term  Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral).  (b) Without limiting or qualifying the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, the ABL  Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Term Claimholders to ensure that the Pledged  Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any person  except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4.

The duties or responsibilities of  the Term Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged  





 






   - 45 -    Collateral as gratuitous bailee and non-fiduciary representative in accordance with this Section 5.4 and  delivering any Pledged Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents  or bailees) upon a Payment in Full of Term Priority Debt as provided in Section 5.6.

At such time, the  ABL Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Term Agent in writing at  the expense of the Grantors (including amending any outstanding control agreements) to enable the Term  Agent to obtain a first priority security interest in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, the Term  Agent agrees that no ABL Claimholder will have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon  the ABL Priority Collateral, or to sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any portion of the ABL  Priority Collateral, in any manner that would maximize the return to the Term Claimholders,  notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may  affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Term Claimholders from such realization, sale,  disposition or liquidation.  (e) Upon Payment in Full of Term Priority Debt, Term Agent shall, to the extent  permitted by applicable law, deliver the remaining tangible Pledged Collateral in its possession or control  (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees), if any, together with any necessary endorsements,  first, to the ABL Agent, if any ABL Debt (or commitments to extend ABL Debt) remains outstanding as  confirmed to the Term Agent in writing by the ABL Agent, and, if (x) the ABL Agent confirms that no  ABL Debt (or commitments to extend ABL Debt) is outstanding and (y) the Term Agent confirms that no  Term Debt (or commitments to extend Term Debt) is outstanding, second, to Holdings.

Without limiting the foregoing, the ABL  Agent agrees that no Term Claimholder will have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon  the Term Priority Collateral, or to sell, dispose of or otherwise realize upon all or any portion of the Term  Priority Collateral, in any manner that would maximize the return to the ABL Claimholders,  notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may  affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the ABL Claimholders from such realization, sale,  disposition or liquidation.  5.5 When Payment in Full of ABL Priority Debt or Payment in Full of Term  Priority Debt Deemed to Not Have Occurred.   (a) If any of the ABL Borrowers enter into any Refinancing of the ABL Debt that is  intended to be secured by the ABL Priority Collateral on a first priority basis in accordance with the terms  of this Agreement and the Indenture (as in effect on the date hereof), then a Payment in Full of ABL  Priority Debt shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations  under such Refinancing of such ABL Debt shall be treated as ABL Debt for all purposes of this  





 






   - 46 -    Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth  herein, and the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents effecting such Refinancing shall be the ABL  Agent for all purposes of this Agreement, so long as the ABL Agent under such ABL Documents agrees  (in a writing addressed to the Term Agent) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  (b) If Holdings enters into any Refinancing of the Term Debt that is intended to be  secured by the Term Priority Collateral on a first priority basis in accordance with the terms of this  Agreement and the Initial ABL Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof), then a Payment in Full  of Term Priority Debt shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the  obligations under such Refinancing of such Term Debt shall be treated as Term Debt for all purposes of  this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth  herein, and the Term Agent under the Term Documents effecting such Refinancing shall be the Term  Agent for all purposes of this Agreement, so long as the Term Agent under such Term Documents agrees  (in a writing addressed to the ABL Agent) to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.  5.6 Transfer of Pledged Collateral.   (a) The ABL Agent hereby agrees that upon the Payment in Full of ABL Priority  Debt, to the extent permitted by applicable law (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be  paid solely by the Grantors):  (i) the ABL Agent shall, without recourse or warranty, take commercially  reasonable steps to transfer the possession and control of the Pledged Collateral, if any, then in its  possession or control, to the Term Agent, except in the event and to the extent (A) such Collateral  is sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of by any of the ABL Claimholders or by a Grantor as  provided herein in full or partial satisfaction of any of the ABL Debt or (B) any order of any court  or other Governmental Authority or applicable law requires otherwise; and  (ii) in connection with the terms of any collateral access or like agreement,  whether with a landlord, processor, warehouseman or other third party or any control agreement,  the ABL Agent shall notify the other parties thereto that its rights thereunder have been assigned  to the Term Agent (to the extent such assignment is not prohibited by the terms of such  agreement) and shall confirm to such parties that the Term Agent is thereafter the “Agent” (or  other comparable term) as such term is used in any such agreement and is otherwise entitled to  the rights of the secured party under such agreement.  (b) The Term Agent hereby agrees that upon the Payment in Full of Term Priority  Debt, to the extent permitted by applicable law (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be  paid solely by the Grantors):  (i) The Term Agent shall, without recourse or warranty, take commercially  reasonable steps to transfer the possession and control of the Pledged Collateral, if any, then in its  possession or control, to the ABL Agent, except in the event and to the extent (A) such Collateral  is sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of by any of the Term Claimholders or by a Grantor as  provided herein in full or partial satisfaction of any of the Term Debt or (B) any order of any  court or other Governmental Authority or applicable law requires otherwise; and  (ii) in connection with the terms of any collateral access or like agreement,  whether with a landlord, processor, warehouseman or other third party or any control agreement,  the Term Agent shall notify the other parties thereto that its rights thereunder have been assigned  to the ABL Agent (to the extent such assignment is not prohibited by the terms of such  





 






   - 47 -    agreement) and shall confirm to such parties that the ABL Agent is thereafter the “Agent” (or  other comparable term) as such term is used in any such agreement and is otherwise entitled to  the rights of the secured party under such agreement.  (c) The foregoing provisions shall not impose on any of the ABL Claimholders or  any of the Term Claimholders any obligations that would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in  favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority or any  applicable law or give rise to risk of legal liability.  SECTION 6. INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS.   6.1 Enforceability and Continuing Priority. This Agreement shall be applicable  both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding  cases in respect thereof. The relative rights of the Claimholders in or to any distributions from or in  respect of any Collateral, or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the commencement of any  Insolvency Proceeding. Accordingly, the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be  enforceable as a subordination agreement within the meaning of Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code.  6.2 Financing.  (a) Until the Payment in Full of ABL Priority Debt, if any Grantor shall be subject to  any Insolvency Proceeding and if the ABL Agent consents to the use of cash collateral (as such term is  defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting ABL Priority Collateral (herein, “ABL  Cash Collateral”), or consents (or chooses to not object) to such Grantor obtaining financing, whether  from any of the ABL Claimholders or any other Person, provided under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy  Code or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law secured by a Lien on such ABL Priority  Collateral (such financing, an “ABL DIP Financing”), and if such ABL Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP  Financing, as applicable, meets the applicable ABL DIP Financing Conditions, then the Term Agent will  not be permitted to object and each will be deemed to have consented to such ABL Cash Collateral use  and will raise no objection to such ABL DIP Financing, as applicable, and, if ABL DIP Financing is  involved, the Term Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the ABL  Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing. If such ABL Cash Collateral use or  ABL DIP Financing, as applicable, meets some, but not all, of the applicable ABL DIP Financing  Conditions, then the Term Agent unconditionally agrees that it will only withhold its consent to such  ABL Cash Collateral use and will only raise an objection to such ABL DIP Financing based upon the  ABL DIP Financing Condition(s) which are not met and will not withhold its consent or object on any  other basis. If ABL DIP Financing is involved and any permitted objection of the Term Agent is  withdrawn, overruled, or otherwise eliminated, each Term Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to  have subordinated its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such ABL DIP Financing.  The Term Agent agrees that it shall not, nor shall any of the Term Claimholders, directly or indirectly,  provide, offer to provide, or support any financing competing with the ABL DIP Financing, that in each  case would be secured by a Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral that is senior to or pari passu with the  Liens securing the ABL Debt. If, in connection with any ABL Cash Collateral use or ABL DIP  Financing, any Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral held by the ABL Claimholders to secure the ABL  Debt are subject to a surcharge or are subordinated to an administrative priority claim, a professional fee  “carve-out,” or fees owed to the United States trustee in such proceeding, then the Liens on the ABL  Priority Collateral of the Term Claimholders securing the Term Debt shall also be subordinated to such  interest or claim and shall remain subordinated to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral of the ABL  Claimholders consistent with this Agreement.  





 






   - 48 -    (b) Until the Payment in Full of Term Priority Debt, if any Grantor shall be subject  to any Insolvency Proceeding and if the Term Agent consents to the use of cash collateral (as such term is  defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) constituting Term Priority Collateral (herein, “Term  Cash Collateral”), or consents (or chooses to not object) to such Grantor obtaining financing, whether  from the Term Claimholders or any other Person, provided under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or  any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law secured by a Lien on such Term Priority Collateral  (such financing, a “Term DIP Financing”), and if such Term Cash Collateral use or Term DIP  Financing, as applicable, meets the applicable Term DIP Financing Conditions, then the ABL Agent will  not be permitted to object and will be deemed to have consented to such Term Cash Collateral use and  will raise no objection to such Term DIP Financing, as applicable, and, if Term DIP Financing is  involved, the ABL Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the Term  Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such Term DIP Financing. If such Term Cash Collateral use or  Term DIP Financing, as applicable, meets some, but not all, of the applicable Term DIP Financing  Conditions, then the ABL Agent unconditionally agrees that it will only withhold its consent to such  Term Cash Collateral use and will only raise an objection to such Term DIP Financing based upon the  Term DIP Financing Condition(s) which are not met and will not withhold its consent or object on any  other basis. If Term DIP Financing is involved and any permitted objection of the ABL Agent is  withdrawn, overruled, or otherwise eliminated, the ABL Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to  have subordinated its Liens in the Term Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such Term DIP  Financing. The ABL Agent agrees that it shall not, and nor shall any of the ABL Claimholders, directly or  indirectly, provide, offer to provide, or support any financing competing with the Term DIP Financing,  that in each case would be secured by a Lien on the Term Priority Collateral that is senior to or pari passu  with the Liens securing the Term Debt. If, in connection with any Term Cash Collateral use or Term DIP  Financing, any Liens on the Term Priority Collateral held by the Term Claimholders to secure the Term  Debt are subject to a surcharge or are subordinated to an administrative priority claim, a professional fee  “carve-out,” or fees owed to the United States trustee in such proceeding, then the Liens on the Term  Priority Collateral of the ABL Claimholders securing the ABL Debt shall also be subordinated to such  interest or claim and shall remain subordinated to the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral of the Term  Claimholders consistent with this Agreement.  (c) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent in any Insolvency  Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the parties to be and shall be  deemed to be subject to the Lien priorities in Section 2.1 and the other terms and conditions of this  Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing shall prevent the Agents or the Claimholders  from objecting to any plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code.  (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, including without limitation  Sections 2.1 and 6.2(c) hereof, it is understood and agreed that the priority of the Liens securing (x) any  ABL DIP Financing with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral shall at all times be senior to any Liens  securing the Term Debt and such ABL DIP Financing shall not constitute (or be deemed to constitute)  Excess ABL Debt and (y) any Term DIP Financing with respect to the Term Priority Collateral shall at all  times be senior to any Liens securing the ABL Debt and such Term DIP Financing shall not constitute (or  be deemed to constitute) Excess Term Debt.  6.3 Sales. Each Junior Agent agrees that it will consent to, and will not object to or  oppose, or support, directly or indirectly, any other person seeking to object to or oppose, a motion that is  supported by the Priority Agent (i) to Dispose of any of its Priority Collateral free and clear of the Liens  of the Junior Agent under Section 363 or Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) to approve any  procedures for the sale or disposition of any of its Priority Collateral of any of the Grantors if (a) the  Priority Agent has consented to the sale of such Collateral free and clear of the Liens of the Priority  Agent, (b) such motion does not impair, subject to the priorities set forth in this Agreement, the rights of  





 






   - 49 -    the Junior Claimholders under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code (so long as the right of the Junior  Claimholders to offset their claims against the purchase price only arises after the Priority Debt has been  paid in full in cash) and (c) either (i) pursuant to court order, the Liens of the Junior Agent attach to the  net proceeds of the Disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by such Junior Agent  on such Priority Collateral, and the Liens remain subject to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) the  proceeds of the Disposition are promptly applied in accordance with Section 4.1. The foregoing to the  contrary notwithstanding, the Junior Claimholders may oppose or raise any objections to such Disposition  of such Priority Collateral that could be raised by an unsecured creditor of a Grantor; provided that such  opposition or objections are not inconsistent with any other term or provision of this Agreement, do not  include an opposition or objection to the proposed bidding procedures, and are not based on their status as  secured creditors (without limiting the foregoing, the Junior Claimholders may not oppose or raise any  objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured  creditors (or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) with respect to the Liens granted to  the Junior Agent in respect of such assets). Each Junior Agent or the Junior Claimholders (either directly  or through one or more acquisition vehicles) may bid for Collateral at any public or private sale thereof,  including credit bidding with respect to the Junior Collateral; provided that any such bid for the Collateral  by the Junior Agent or the Junior Claimholders must provide for payment in cash of the full amount  necessary to cause the Payment in Full of Priority Debt.  6.4 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Payment in Full of Priority Debt has  occurred, the Junior Agent agrees (on behalf of itself and the Junior Claimholders it represents) not to (a)  seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any  Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in contravention thereof in respect of any Priority Collateral,  without the prior written consent of the Priority Agent; provided that the Junior Agent may seek relief  from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of such Priority  Collateral if and to the extent that the Priority Agent has obtained relief from or modification of such stay  in respect of the Priority Collateral, or (b) oppose (or support any other Person opposing) any request by  the Priority Agent or any Priority Claimholder to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in  any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Priority Collateral.  6.5 Adequate Protection.   (a) In any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor:  (i) each Junior Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Claimholder that it  represents, agrees that it shall not object to or contest, or support any other person objecting to or  contesting (and instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and  unconditionally waived any right to do so):  (A) any request by any Priority Claimholder with respect to any  Priority Collateral prior to the applicable Payment in Full of Priority Debt, for adequate  protection of its interest in the Priority Collateral, including a request for replacement or  additional Liens on post-petition assets of the same type as such Priority Collateral; provided that  any Junior Claimholder, solely in its capacity as a Priority Claimholder, may object to adequate  protection in the form of cash payments to the extent such payment is sought to be paid from such  Junior Claimholder’s Priority Collateral or the proceeds (or advances in respect) thereof, or  (B) any objection by any Priority Claimholder to any motion, relief,  action or proceeding based on such Priority Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection  with respect to its Liens in their Priority Collateral;  





 






   - 50 -    (ii) if any Priority Claimholder is granted adequate protection with respect to  its rights in the Priority Collateral in the form of an additional or replacement Lien with respect to  assets of the type included in such Priority Collateral, then the Priority Agent agrees that the  Junior Agent shall also be entitled to seek, adequate protection in the form of an additional or  replacement Lien with respect to the assets that are the subject of the Priority Claimholder’s  additional or replacement Lien, which additional or replacement adequate protection Lien of the  Junior Agent, if obtained, shall be subordinate to the adequate protection Liens in and to such  assets securing the Priority Debt on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Debt on  the Junior Collateral are subordinated to the Liens on the Priority Collateral securing the Priority  Debt under this Agreement;  (iii) no Junior Claimholder may seek adequate protection with respect to its  rights in the Priority Collateral except for adequate protection permitted pursuant to Section  6.5(a)(ii) and Section 6.5(a)(iv) or adequate protection in the form of an additional or replacement  Lien in and to existing or future assets of Grantors, and the applicable Priority Agent shall also be  entitled to seek, a senior adequate protection Lien in and to such existing or future assets of  Grantors as security for the Priority Debt and that any adequate protection Lien in and to the  Priority Collateral securing the Junior Debt shall be subordinated to such senior adequate  protection Lien in and to the Priority Collateral securing the Priority Debt on the same basis as  the other Liens securing the Junior Debt are subordinated to the Liens on the Priority Collateral  securing the Priority Debt under this Agreement;  (iv) each Claimholder may seek adequate protection with respect to its rights  in the Collateral in the form of an additional or replacement Lien in and to existing or future  Excluded Property; provided that, if the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders each  receive adequate protection in the form of Liens in and to the Excluded Property, then any such  Liens in and to Excluded Property granted as adequate protection of such Claimholder’s interest  in and to its Priority Collateral shall be senior in all respects, and prior to, any other  Claimholder’s Lien in and to such Excluded Property granted as adequate protection of such other  Claimholder’s interest in and to its Junior Collateral;  (v) any adequate protection granted in favor of any Priority Claimholder in  the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any  Priority Claimholder arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (“Senior 507(b)  Claims”), shall be pari passu with the grant of adequate protection in favor of the other Priority  Claimholders in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any Senior  507(b) Claims in favor of such other Priority Claimholders; and  (vi) any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor  of any Junior Claimholder shall be pari passu with the claims arising under Section 507(b) of the  Bankruptcy Code in favor of the other Junior Claimholders (collectively, “Junior 507(b)  Claims”), all Junior 507(b) Claims shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the  Senior 507(b) Claims, and the holders of the Junior 507(b) Claims agree that, in connection with  any plan of reorganization in such Insolvency Proceeding, such Junior 507(b) Claims may be paid  in any combination of cash, securities, or other property having a present value equal to the  amount of such Junior 507(b) Claims as of the effective date of confirmation of such plan.  (b) No Junior Claimholder shall object to, oppose, or challenge the determination of  the extent of any Liens held by any of the Priority Claimholders or the value of any claims of Priority  Claimholders under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any claim by any Priority Claimholder for  allowance of Priority Debt consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses.  





 






   - 51 -    6.6 Specific Sections of the Bankruptcy Code. The Junior Claimholders shall not  object to, oppose, support any objection to, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Priority  Claimholder to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Junior  Claimholders waive any claim they may hereafter have against any Priority Claimholder arising out of the  election by any Priority Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Junior Claimholders agree that they will not, directly or indirectly, assert or support the assertion of,  and hereby waive any right that they may have to assert or support the assertion of any claim under  Section 506(c) or the “equities of the case” exception of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as  against any Priority Claimholder or with respect to any of the Priority Collateral to the extent securing the  Priority Debt; provided that nothing herein shall restrict the holder of any debtor-in-possession financing  from having, or seeking to have, such debtor-in-possession financing repaid, in whole or in part, from the  proceeds of the assertion of any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable  provision of any other Bankruptcy Law); provided, further, that any such action does not violate Section  6.2.  6.7 No Waiver; Limitation. Subject to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and the other  provisions of this Section 6, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any Agent or any  other Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor to any action taken  by the other Agent or any other Claimholder, including the seeking by the other Agent or any other  Claimholder of adequate protection of any of its rights and remedies under the Term Documents or the  ABL Documents, as applicable.  6.8 Avoidance Issues. If any Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding  or otherwise to turn over, disgorge, or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor, because such amount  was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was  found to be a fraudulent or preference transfer, any amount paid in respect of the Debt of such  Claimholder (or if any Claimholder elects to do so upon the advice of counsel) (a “Recovery”), whether  received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the Debt of such  Claimholder shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such  payment had not occurred, and all rights, interests, priorities, and privileges recognized in this Agreement  shall apply with respect to any such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such  Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not  diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date  of reinstatement. Each Claimholder agrees that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any  avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with  this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of  such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for  application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.  6.9 Plan of Reorganization.   (a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, debt obligations of the  reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant  to a confirmed plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of ABL  Debt and on account of Term Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the  ABL Debt and on account of the Term Debt 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.  





 






   - 52 -    (b) The provisions of Section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding,  the Claimholders agree that they will not propose, support, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization  of a Grantor that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.  (c) If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, the Term  Claimholders receive any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of their Term Secured Claims in  respect of their interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent or the other Term Claimholders, as  applicable, shall turnover such cash, claims or securities to the ABL Agent for application in accordance  with Section 4.1, unless (i) the receipt and retention of such cash, claims or securities is permitted under  Section 6.5 or Section 6.9(c) of this Agreement, or (ii) the distribution of such cash, claims or securities is  made pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization of such Grantor that is accepted by the requisite  affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of the ABL Claimholders. The Term Agent  irrevocably authorizes and empowers the ABL Agent, in the name of each Term Claimholder, to demand,  sue for, collect, and receive any and all such distributions on account of any Term Secured Claim in  respect of such Term Claimholder’s interest in the ABL Priority Collateral to which the ABL  Claimholders are entitled hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of the Term  Claimholders to receive and retain any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of Term Deficiency  Claims or in respect of any other portion of their Term Secured Claims that are not on account of their  interest in the ABL Priority Collateral.  (d) If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, the ABL  Claimholders receive any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of their ABL Secured Claims in  respect of their interest in the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent or the other ABL Claimholders, as  applicable, shall turnover such cash, claims or securities to the Term Agent for application in accordance  with Section 4.1, unless (i) the receipt and retention of such cash, claims or securities is permitted under  Section 6.5 or Section 6.9(d) of this Agreement, or (ii) the distribution of such cash, claims or securities is  made pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization of such Grantor that is accepted by the requisite  affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of the Term Claimholders. The ABL Agent  irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Term Agent, in the name of each ABL Claimholder, to demand,  sue for, collect, and receive any and all such distributions on account of any ABL Secured Claim in  respect of such ABL Claimholder’s interest in the Term Priority Collateral to which the Term  Claimholders are entitled hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits the right of the ABL  Claimholders to receive and retain any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of ABL Deficiency  Claims or in respect of any other portion of their ABL Secured Claims that are not on account of their  interest in the Term Priority Collateral.  6.10 Post-Petition Interest.   (a) Neither the ABL Agent nor any ABL Claimholder shall oppose or seek to  challenge any claim by the Term Agent or any Term Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency  Proceeding of Term Secured Claims consisting of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses to the extent of  the value of the Lien on the Term Priority Collateral securing any Term Claimholder’s claim, without  regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Claimholders on the Term  Priority Collateral; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of the ABL  Agent or any ABL Claimholder from objecting to the use of any cash payment of such Post-Petition  Interest, fees or expenses with proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral, ABL Cash Collateral or ABL DIP  Financing.  (b) Neither the Term Agent nor any Term Claimholder shall oppose or seek to  challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency  Proceeding of ABL Secured Claims consisting of Post-Petition Interest, fees or expenses to the extent of  





 






   - 53 -    the value of the Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing any ABL Claimholder’s claim, without  regard to the existence of the Lien of the Term Agent on behalf of the Term Claimholders on the ABL  Priority Collateral; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Term  Agent or any Term Claimholder from objecting to the use of any cash payment of such Post-Petition  Interest, fees or expenses with proceeds of Term Priority Collateral, Term Cash Collateral or Term DIP  Financing.  6.11 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.   (a) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the  Term Claimholders it represents, and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders,  acknowledges and agrees that the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the  Term Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other  things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Secured Claims are fundamentally different from  the ABL Secured Claim and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or  adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Term Agent, for itself and on  behalf of the Term Claimholders it represents, and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL  Claimholders, each agrees that the Term Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders will vote as separate  classes in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding and that no Agent nor  any Claimholder will seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of  reorganization in any Insolvency Proceeding.  (b) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.11, if it  is held that the claims of the Term Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders in respect of the Term  Priority Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior  secured claims), then each Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders it represents,  and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees  that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions in respect of the Term Priority Collateral shall be  made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect  of the Term Priority Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the  Term Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the ABL Claimholders),  the Term Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of  principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or would be owing if there were such  separate classes of claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable  pursuant to the Term Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in  any Insolvency Proceeding) before any distribution in respect of the Term Priority Collateral is made in  respect of the claims held by the ABL Claimholders, with the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the  ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Term Agent, for itself and on  behalf of the Term Claimholders it represents, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in  respect of the Term Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence,  even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the ABL Claimholders.  (c) To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in this Section 6.11, if it  is held that the claims of the Term Claimholders and the ABL Claimholders in respect of the ABL  Priority Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior  secured claims), then each Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Claimholders it represents,  and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, hereby acknowledges and agrees  that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral shall be  made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect  of the ABL Priority Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the  ABL Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Claimholders),  





 






   - 54 -    the ABL Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of  principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or would be owing if there were such  separate classes of claims) in respect of Post-Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable  pursuant to the ABL Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in  any Insolvency Proceeding) before any distribution in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral is made in  respect of the claims held by the Term Claimholders, with each Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of  the Term Claimholders it represents, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Agent,  for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in  respect of the ABL Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even  if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Claimholders.  SECTION 7. RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC.  7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL  Agent acknowledges that it and each of the other ABL Claimholders have, independently and without  reliance on any of the Term Claimholders, and based on documents and information deemed by them  appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the ABL Documents and be  bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking  or not taking any action under the ABL Documents or this Agreement. Other than any reliance on the  terms of this Agreement, the Term Agent acknowledges that it and each of the other Term Claimholders it  represents have, independently and without reliance on any of the ABL Claimholders, and based on  documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to  enter into each of the Term Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will  continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Documents  or this Agreement.  7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The ABL Agent acknowledges and agrees that  none of the Term Claimholders have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including  with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the  Term Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the applicable Term Claimholders will be entitled to  manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the Term Documents in  accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the ABL  Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit  under the ABL Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion,  deem appropriate. The Term Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Claimholders, and the ABL  Claimholders shall have no duty to the Term Claimholders, 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 any Grantor (including the ABL Documents and the Term Documents), regardless of any knowledge  thereof which they may have or be charged with.  7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.   (a) No right of any of the Claimholders, any Agent or any of them to enforce any  provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or  impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any other  Claimholder or any Agent, or by any noncompliance by any person with the terms, provisions and  





 






   - 55 -    covenants of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which  any Agent or any other Claimholder may have (or be otherwise charged with).  (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.3(a)  (but subject to any rights of the Grantors under the ABL Documents and subject to the provisions of  Section 5.3(a)), the ABL Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the  ABL Documents or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, any of the Term Claimholders,  without incurring any liabilities to any of the Term Claimholders and without impairing or affecting the  Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other  right or remedy of any of the Term Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any  one or more of the following:  (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the  time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the ABL  Debt or any Lien on any ABL Collateral or guarantee thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or  any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or  extension of the ABL Debt, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase  or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner  any Liens held by any of the ABL Claimholders, the ABL Debt or any of the ABL Documents;  (ii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal  with in any manner and in any order all or any part of the ABL Priority Collateral or any liability  of any Grantor to any ABL Claimholder, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect  thereof;  (iii) settle or compromise any ABL Debt or any other liability of any Grantor  or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply  any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the ABL Debt) in  any manner or order; and  (iv) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy  against any Grantor or any other person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any  Grantor or any ABL Priority Collateral and any guarantor or any liability of any Grantor to any of  the ABL Claimholders or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.
