ARTICLE 2

LIEN PRIORITY




     Section 2.1 Priority of Liens.



          (a) Notwithstanding (i) the date, time, method, manner, or order of grant, attachment, or
perfection of any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties in respect
of all or any portion of the Common Collateral or of any Liens granted to any New First Lien
Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Parties in respect of all or any portion of the
Common Collateral, and regardless of how any such Lien was acquired (whether by grant, statute,
operation of law, subrogation or otherwise), (ii) the order or time of filing or recordation of any
document or instrument for perfecting the Liens in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent or any New
First Lien Collateral Agent (or the ABL Secured Parties or any of the New First Lien Secured
Parties) on any Common Collateral, (iii) any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, the
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, or of any of the ABL Documents or any of the New First
Lien Documents, or (iv) whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Collateral Agent, in
each case, either directly or through agents, holds possession of, or has control over, all or any
part of the Common Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured
Parties, and the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien
Secured Parties, hereby agree that:





     (1) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter
held by or on behalf of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured
Parties that secures all or any portion of the New First Lien Obligations shall in all
respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent and the
ABL Secured Parties on the Common Collateral; and




     (2) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Common Collateral now or hereafter
held by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that secures all
or any portion of the ABL Obligations shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens
granted to the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties on the
Common Collateral.


The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each New First Lien Secured
Party, expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Common Collateral as security
for the ABL Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects
and prior to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any New First Lien Obligations for all
purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted,
improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in
any manner.




          (b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for the
benefit of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, has been granted Liens




-11-









 







upon all of the Common Collateral in which the ABL Collateral Agent has been granted
Liens and the ABL Collateral Agent hereby consents thereto. The subordination of Liens by the New
First Lien Collateral Agent in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent as set forth herein shall not be
deemed to subordinate the respective Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First
Lien Secured Parties to Liens securing any other Obligations other than the ABL Obligations
(subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Additional General Intercreditor
Agreement).




     Section 2.2 Waiver of Right to Contest Liens.



          (a) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the New First Lien
Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to
contest or challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly
or indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the
validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the
ABL Secured Parties in respect of Receivables Collateral or the provisions of this Agreement.
Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, the New First Lien Collateral Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take any
action that would interfere with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies undertaken by the ABL
Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party under the ABL Documents with respect to the Common
Collateral. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement, the New First Lien
Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any
and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest, object to,
or interfere with the manner in which the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party seeks to
enforce its Liens in any Common Collateral.




          (b) The ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees
that it and they shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge
(or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly,
whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority,
enforceability, or perfection of the respective Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the
New First Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral or the provisions of this
Agreement.




     Section 2.3 Remedies Standstill.



          (a) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured
Parties, agrees that, from the date hereof until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL
Obligations shall have occurred, neither the New First Lien Collateral Agent nor any New First Lien
Secured Party will Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Common Collateral
without the written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, and will not take, receive or accept any
Proceeds of Common Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the temporary deposit of
Proceeds of Common Collateral in a Deposit Account controlled by the New First Lien Collateral
Agent shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement so long as such Proceeds are promptly
remitted to the ABL Collateral Agent; provided that, subject to Section 4.1(b) and the
provisions of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence of the New First Lien
Enforcement Date, the New First Lien Collateral Agent acting on behalf of itself





-12-









 






and the New First Lien Secured Parties may exercise such remedies without such prior written
consent of the other Collateral Agent. Subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, from and
after the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred (or prior thereto
upon the occurrence of the New First Lien Enforcement Date), the New First Lien Collateral Agent or
any New First Lien Secured Party may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the New First
Lien Documents or applicable law as to any Common Collateral.




          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a) or any other provision of this Agreement
but subject to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed
to prevent any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party from (i) filing a claim or statement of
interest with respect to the ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations owed to it in any
Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Grantor, (ii) taking any action (not adverse to
the priority status of the Liens of the other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties on the
Common Collateral in which such other Collateral Agent or other Secured Parties has a priority Lien
or the rights of the other Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to exercise
remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its
Lien on any Common Collateral, (iii) filing any necessary or responsive pleadings in opposition to
any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by any Person objecting to or otherwise
seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Collateral Agent or Secured Party, (iv) filing
any pleadings, objections, motions, or agreements which assert rights available to unsecured
creditors of the Grantors arising under any Insolvency Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law,
(vi) voting on any plan of reorganization or file any proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding
of any Grantor, or (vii) objecting to the proposed retention of collateral by any other Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party in full or partial satisfaction of any ABL Obligations or New
First Lien Obligations due to such other Collateral Agent or Secured Party, in each case (i)
through (vii) above to the extent not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution
inconsistent with, the terms of this Agreement.




          (c) Subject to Section 2.3(b), (i) the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on
behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that neither it nor any such New First Lien
Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the ABL
Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Receivables Collateral, including
any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of Receivables Collateral, whether by
foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of
the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such New First Lien
Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the
ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or
the Liens granted in any of the Receivables Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure
to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties is adverse to the
interests of the New First Lien Secured Parties.




          (d) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien
Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction
contained in any New First Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and
remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Receivables
Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Documents.




-13-









 








          (e) Subject to Section 2.3(b), the New First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf
of the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of ABL
Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Secured
Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement,
collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it
in the Common Collateral.




          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 2.3 shall not
apply from and after the occurrence of the New First Lien Enforcement Date, subject to the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement.




     Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights.



          (a) No Other Restrictions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 2.1(a),
Section 2.2(a), Section 2.3, Section 3.5 and Article 6 of this Agreement and subject to the First
Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New First Lien Collateral Agent and each New First Lien Secured
Party may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any
Subsidiary that has guaranteed the New First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the
New First Lien Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt
by the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party of the required payments
of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the
exercise by the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party of rights or
remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or enforcement in contravention of
this Agreement of any Lien in respect of New First Lien Obligations held by any of them or in any
Insolvency Proceeding. In the event the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien
Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Common
Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of New
First Lien Obligations or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be subordinated to the Liens
securing ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the New First Lien
Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing ABL Obligations under this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL
Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties may have with respect to the Receivables Collateral.
Furthermore, subject to Section 3.3 hereof, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement
shall restrict any right any New First Lien Secured Party may have (secured or otherwise) in any
property or asset of any Grantor that does not constitute Common Collateral.




          (b) Release of Liens. If at any time any Grantor or any ABL Secured Party delivers
notice to the New First Lien Collateral Agent with respect to any specified Common Collateral that:





     (A) such specified Common Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (a
“Disposition”) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted
under the ABL Credit Agreement and the New First Lien Agreement; or



-14-









 






     (B) the ABL Secured Parties are releasing or have released their Liens on such Common
Collateral in connection with a Disposition in connection with an Exercise of Secured
Creditor Remedies with respect to such Common Collateral,


then the Liens upon such Common Collateral securing New First Lien Obligations will automatically
be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common
Collateral securing ABL Obligations are released and discharged (provided that in the case
of clause (B) of this Section 2.4(b), the Liens on any Common Collateral disposed of in connection
with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be automatically released but any proceeds
thereof not applied to repay ABL Obligations shall be subject to the respective Liens securing New
First Lien Obligations and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the New
First Lien Collateral Agent of a notice from the ABL Collateral Agent stating that any such release
of Liens securing or supporting the ABL Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective
upon the New First Lien Collateral Agent’s receipt of such notice), the New First Lien Collateral
Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases,
termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which
instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable
instruments, releases and termination statements executed by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection
with such release. The New First Lien Collateral Agent hereby appoints the ABL Collateral Agent
and any officer or duly authorized person of the ABL Collateral Agent, with full power of
substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power of attorney in
the place and stead of the New First Lien Collateral Agent and in the name of the New First Lien
Collateral Agent or in the ABL Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time, in the ABL
Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, for the purposes of carrying out the terms of this paragraph,
to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and
instruments as may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph,
including any financing statements, endorsements, assignments, releases or other documents or
instruments of transfer (which appointment, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).




     Section 2.5 No New Liens. Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have
occurred, the parties hereto agree that no New First Lien Secured Party shall acquire or hold any
Lien on any accounts receivable of any Grantor, the proceeds thereof or any deposit or other
accounts of any Grantor in which accounts receivable or proceeds thereof are held or deposited, in
each case of the type that would constitute Receivables Collateral as described in the definition
thereof (but for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any European Collateral (as defined in the CF
Credit Agreement), whether in the form of accounts receivable or otherwise), securing any New First
Lien Obligation, if such accounts and proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL
Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents (and subject to the Lien Priorities contemplated herein).
If any New First Lien Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any
Lien on any such accounts or proceeds securing any New First Lien Obligation, which accounts and
proceeds are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Collateral Agent under the ABL Documents,
subject to the Lien Priority set forth herein, then the New First Lien Collateral Agent (or the
applicable New First Lien Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any
other New First Lien Secured Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other New
First Lien Document, be deemed to also hold and have



-15-









 




held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of the ABL Collateral Agent as security for
the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall use its best
efforts to promptly notify the ABL Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien.




     Section 2.6 Waiver of Marshaling. Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations, the New First Lien
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien 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 marshaling, 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.



ARTICLE 3

ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES




     Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. The New First Lien Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral
Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the New First Lien Obligations or the
ABL Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under
applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any
time. Except as provided in Section 5.2, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by
the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties of the required payments
of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the New First Lien Obligations so long
as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the New First Lien
Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties of rights or remedies as a secured creditor
(including set-off with respect to the Receivables Collateral) or enforcement in contravention of
this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.



     Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection. The New First Lien Collateral Agent appoints the ABL Collateral
Agent, and the ABL Collateral Agent expressly accepts such appointment, to act as agent of the New
First Lien Collateral Agent and the New First Lien Secured Parties under each control agreement
with respect to all ABL Controlled Accounts for the purpose of perfecting the respective security
interests granted under the New First Lien Security Documents. None of the ABL Collateral Agent,
any ABL Secured Party, the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party, as
applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Common Collateral
is genuine or owned by the Company, any Grantor or any other Person or to preserve rights or
benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this
Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Common
Collateral as agent for the New First Lien Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting the
respective Liens held by the New First Lien Secured Parties. The ABL Collateral Agent is not and
shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the
New First Lien Secured Parties, or any other Person. The New First Lien Collateral Agent is not
nor shall it be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for any other Collateral Agent or Secured
Party, or any other Person. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, in the event that the New
First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party receives any Common Collateral or
Proceeds of Common Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then the New First Lien
Collateral Agent or such New First Lien Secured Par-



-16-









 




ty, as the case may be, shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Common Collateral to
the ABL Collateral Agent in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for
application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement.




     Section 3.3 Inspection and Access Rights. Without limiting any rights the ABL Collateral Agent or
any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event
of any liquidation of any Receivables Collateral (or any other Exercise of Secured Creditor
Remedies by the ABL Collateral Agent) and whether or not the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any
New First Lien Secured Party has commenced and is continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor
Remedies of any New First Lien Secured Party, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have the right (a)
during normal business hours on any business day, to access Receivables Collateral that is stored
or located in or on Non-Receivables Collateral, and (b) shall have the right to reasonably use the
Non-Receivables Collateral (including, without limitation, equipment, computers, software,
intellectual property, real property and books and records) in order to inspect, copy or download
information stored on, take actions to perfect its Lien on, or otherwise deal with the Receivables
Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by the New First
Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party and without liability to any New First
Lien Secured Party; provided, however, if the New First Lien Collateral Agent takes
actual possession of any Non-Receivables Collateral in contemplation of a sale of such
Non-Receivables Collateral or is otherwise exercising a remedy with respect to Non-Receivables
Collateral, the New First Lien Collateral Agent shall give the ABL Collateral Agent reasonable
opportunity (of reasonable duration and with reasonable advance notice) prior to the New First Lien
Collateral Agent’s sale of any such Non-Receivables Collateral to access Receivables Collateral as
contemplated in (a) and (b) above. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.3 governs the rights
of access and inspection as between the ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the New First Lien
Secured Parties on the other (and not as between the Secured Parties and the Grantors, which rights
are set forth in and governed by the applicable Credit Documents and are not affected by this
Section 3.3).



     Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Common Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore,
the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of insurance proceeds to the extent such
insurance insures Receivables Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL
Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the New First Lien Collateral
Agent, to the extent permitted by the ABL Documents and subject to the rights of the Grantors
thereunder, to adjust settlement of insurance claims to the extent such insurance insures
Receivables Collateral in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Receivables
Collateral. Prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, all proceeds of such insurance with respect
to Receivables Collateral shall be remitted for application in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof.



     Section 3.5 Exercise of Remedies—Set-off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The New
First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the New First Lien Secured Parties,
acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent the New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First
Lien Secured Parties exercise their rights of set-off against any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts or
Securities Accounts to the extent constituting or containing Receivables Collateral or proceeds
thereof, the amount of such set-off shall be deemed to be Receivables Collateral to



-17-









 




be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1. In addition, unless and until the Discharge
of ABL Obligations occurs, the New First Lien Collateral Agent and the New First Lien Secured
Parties hereby consent to the application of cash or other proceeds of Receivables Collateral
deposited under control agreements to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL
Documents.




ARTICLE 4

APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS




     Section 4.1 Application of Proceeds.



          (a) Revolving Nature of ABL Obligations. The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and
on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that
(i) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of
business the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties will apply payments and make advances
thereunder, and that no application of any Receivables Collateral or the release of any Lien by the
ABL Collateral Agent upon any portion of the Receivables Collateral in connection with a permitted
disposition by the Grantors under the ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute an Exercise of Secured
Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section
4.10(b)(1) of the New First Lien Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) or such additional
amounts as consented to by the holders of New First Lien Obligations (in accordance with the
provisions of the New First Lien Agreement), the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be
outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently
reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from
time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or
Refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the New First Lien Secured Parties and
without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all Receivables Collateral received by the ABL
Collateral Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part,
to the ABL Obligations at any time. The Lien Priority shall not be altered or otherwise affected
by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase,
replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or any New First
Lien Obligations, or any portion thereof.




          (b) Application of Proceeds of Common Collateral. The ABL Collateral Agent and the
New First Lien Collateral Agent hereby agree that all Common Collateral and all Proceeds thereof,
received by any of them in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect
to the Common Collateral shall be applied, first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the ABL
Collateral Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, and second, to the
payment of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of ABL
Obligations shall have occurred.




          (c) Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or Receivables Collateral or proceeds
thereof received by the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off or credit bid) or in any
Insolvency Proceeding relating to the Common Collateral not expressly permitted by this Agreement
or prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall be segregated and held in trust for




-18-









 







the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the ABL Collateral Agent (and/or its designees) for
the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Collateral
Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the New First Lien Collateral
Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.




          (d) Limited Obligation or Liability. In exercising remedies, whether as a secured
creditor or otherwise, the ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the New
First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party regarding the adequacy of any
proceeds realized on any collateral or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an
action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms
of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, none of the Parties
hereto waives any claim that it may have against a Secured Party on the grounds that and sale,
transfer or other disposition by the Secured Party was not commercially reasonable in every respect
as required by the UCC.




          (e) Turnover of Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations,
the ABL Collateral Agent shall (a) notify the New First Lien Collateral Agent in writing of the
occurrence of such Discharge of ABL Obligations and (b) subject to the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, at the Company’s expense, deliver to the New First Lien Collateral Agent or execute such
documents as the New First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request (including assignment of
control agreements with respect to ABL Controlled Accounts) in order to effect a transfer of
control to the New First Lien Collateral Agent over any and all ABL Controlled Accounts in the same
form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct; provided, however, that the ABL Collateral Agent shall not be
required hereunder to deliver such instruments or documents relating to the control agreements with
respect to ABL Collateral Agreements if, as of the time of such Discharge of ABL Obligations, no
Event of Default (as defined in the New First Lien Agreement) has occurred or is then continuing.
The ABL Collateral Agent shall presume that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
under the New First Lien Agreement unless at the time of such Discharge of ABL Obligations the
Company shall have delivered to each of the Collateral Agents an officer’s certificate executed by
an Authorized Officer (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) certifying that no such Event of
Default has occurred and is then continuing (and the New First Lien Collateral Agent shall have
confirmed in writing to the ABL Collateral Agent that it has no actual knowledge of the continuance
of an Event of Default under the New First Lien Agreement), upon which the ABL Collateral Agent may
conclusively rely (it being understood that neither such officer’s certificate nor Collateral
Agent’s confirmation will effect whether or not such Event of Default has in fact occurred or is
then in fact continuing).




     Section 4.2 Specific Performance. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent and the New First Lien
Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or
not the Company or any Grantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Credit
Documents, at any time when the other Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions
of this Agreement applicable to it. Each of the ABL Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself
and the ABL Secured Parties, and the New First Lien Colla-



-19-









 




teral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably
waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such
remedy of specific performance.




ARTICLE 5

INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND WAIVERS




     Section 5.1 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.



          (a) All ABL Obligations at any time made or incurred by the Company or any Grantor shall be
deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and the New First Lien
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives notice
of acceptance, or proof of reliance by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of this
Agreement, and notice of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or
non-payment of all or any part of the ABL Obligations. All New First Lien Obligations at any time
made or incurred by the Company or any Grantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in
reliance upon this Agreement, and the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
New First Lien Secured Parties, hereby waives notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the
New First Lien Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties of this Agreement, and notice
of the existence, increase, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or non-payment of all or any
part of the New First Lien Obligations.




          (b) None of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any of their respective
Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Common Collateral or any Proceeds thereof, or for any delay in
doing so, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Common Collateral or
Proceeds thereof or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Common Collateral or any
part or Proceeds thereof, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. If the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower under the ABL
Credit Agreement for an extension of credit pursuant to any ABL Credit Agreement or any of the
other ABL Documents, whether the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party has knowledge that
the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms
of any New First Lien Document (but not a default under this Agreement) or an act, condition, or
event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a
default, or if the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party otherwise should exercise any of
its contractual rights or remedies under any ABL Documents (subject to the express terms and
conditions hereof), neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall have any
liability whatsoever to the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party as
a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the
express terms and provisions of this Agreement). The ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured
Parties shall be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under any
ABL Credit Agreement and any of the other ABL Documents as they may, in their sole discretion, deem
appropriate, and may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or
interests that the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party have in the
Common Collateral, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The New First Lien
Collateral Agent,




-20-









 







on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that neither the ABL
Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall incur any liability as a result of a sale, lease,
license, application, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Common Collateral or
Proceeds thereof, pursuant to the ABL Documents, so long as such disposition is conducted in
accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this
Agreement. The New First Lien Collateral Agent and the New First Lien Secured Parties shall be
entitled to manage and supervise their loans and extensions of credit under any New First Lien
Document as they may, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and may manage their loans and
extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests of the ABL Collateral Agent or any
ABL Secured Parties, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.




     Section 5.2 Modifications to ABL Documents and New First Lien Documents.



          (a) In the event that the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties enter into any
amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any of the ABL Security Documents for the
purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any
provisions of, any ABL Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the ABL Collateral
Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release
of any Liens in Common Collateral in accordance with Section 2.4(b)), then such amendment, waiver
or consent, to the extent related to Common Collateral, shall apply automatically to any comparable
provision (but only to the extent as such provision relates to Common Collateral) of each
Comparable New First Lien Security Document without the consent of the New First Lien Collateral
Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party and without any action by the New First Lien Collateral
Agent, any New First Lien Secured Party, the Company or any other Grantor; provided,
however, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the
rights of the New First Lien Secured Parties or the interests of the New First Lien Secured Parties
in the Common Collateral in a manner materially different from that affecting the rights of the ABL
Secured Parties thereunder or therein. The ABL Collateral Agent shall give written notice of such
amendment, waiver or consent (along with a copy thereof) to the New First Lien Collateral Agent;
provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
effectiveness of such amendment with respect to the provisions of any New First Lien Security
Document as set forth in this Section 5.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, no such amendment,
modification or waiver shall apply to or otherwise affect (a) any Non-Receivables Collateral or (b)
any document, agreement or instrument which neither grants nor purports to grant a Lien on, nor
governs nor purports to govern any rights or remedies in respect of, Common Collateral.




          (b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, without the prior written
consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, the New First Lien Collateral Agent shall not consent to
amend, supplement or otherwise modify any, or enter into any new, New First Lien Security Document
relating to Common Collateral to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the
terms of such New First Lien Security Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of
the terms of this Agreement. The New First Lien Collateral Agent agrees that each New First Lien
Security Document relating to Common Collateral shall include the following language (or language
to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):




-21-









 









“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests
granted to [the New First Lien Collateral Agent] pursuant to this Agreement and the
exercise of any right or remedy by [the New First Lien Collateral Agent] hereunder
are subject to the limitations and provisions of the Additional Receivables
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2009 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor
Agreement”), among Bank of America, N.A., as ABL Collateral Agent, Bank of
America, N.A., as New First Lien Collateral Agent, and certain other persons party
or that may become party thereto from time to time, and consented to by HCA INC. and
the Grantors identified therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of
the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”



     The ABL Collateral Agent hereby approves the language set forth in Section 8.15 of the
Amended and Restated Security Agreement, dated as of March 2, 2009, among the Company, the
grantors party thereto and Bank of America as collateral agent, for purposes of this Section
5.2(b). For purposes of this 5.2(b), the reference to the Additional Receivables Intercreditor
Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2009, set forth on the cover page of the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement shall be deemed to be a reference to this Agreement.



          (c) No consent furnished by the ABL Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or 5.2(b) hereof shall be deemed to constitute the modification or
waiver of any provisions of the ABL Documents or any of the New First Lien Documents, each of which
remain in full force and effect as written.




          (d) The ABL Obligations and the several New First Lien Obligations may be Refinanced, in whole
or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is
required to permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any New First Lien
Document) of, the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the New First Lien Collateral
Agent or the New First Lien Secured Parties, as the case may be; provided such Refinancing
does not affect the relative Lien Priorities provided for herein or directly alter the other
provisions hereof to the extent relating to the relative rights, obligations and priorities of the
ABL Secured Parties on the one hand and the New First Lien Secured Parties on the other.




     Section 5.3 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement. If the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay
to the estate of the Company, any Grantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of
all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an “ABL Recovery”), then the ABL Obligations
shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been
terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect
in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release,
discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of
reinstatement. The ABL Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give written
notice to the New First Lien Collateral Agent of the occurrence of any such ABL Recovery
(provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the ABL Collateral Agent’s
rights hereunder, except it being understood that the New First Lien Collateral



-22-









 




Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such ABL Recovery or required to take any actions
based on such ABL Recovery until it has received such written notice of the occurrence of such ABL
Recovery).




     All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent, the New First
Lien Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties and the New First Lien Secured Parties under this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement
of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or
against the Company or any Grantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a
defense (other than a defense that such obligations have in fact been repaid) available to, or a
discharge of the Company or any Grantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the New First Lien
Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at
any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Company or any Grantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or
covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Collateral
Agent or any ABL Secured Party may have.



ARTICLE 6

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS




     Section 6.1 DIP Financing.



          (a) If the Company or any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time
prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties
shall seek to provide the Company or any Grantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any
financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash
collateral constituting Receivables Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a
“DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the
Receivables Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the
Bankruptcy Code would be Receivables Collateral) but not any other asset or any Non-Receivables
Collateral, then the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien
Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such
DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a
failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent
securing the New First Lien Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate
protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Receivables
Collateral, except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)), so long as (i) the New First Lien Collateral
Agent retains its Lien on the Common Collateral to secure the New First Lien Obligations (in each
case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy
Code); (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek
confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the
material terms of such plan are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or related document;
and (iii) all Liens on Common Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a
parity with the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL
Obligations on Common Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First




-23-









 







Lien Secured Party from raising any objection or supporting any objection to such DIP
Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure
to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent on
Non-Receivables Collateral securing the New First Lien Obligations.




          (b) All Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Collateral 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 Priority and the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement.




     Section 6.2 Relief from Stay. The New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay
in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Common Collateral without the ABL
Collateral Agent’s express written consent.



     Section 6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection.



          (a) The New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the New First Lien Secured
Parties, agrees that it shall not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (x) any request
by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the
Common Collateral, (y) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any
motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL
Secured Party that its interests in the Common Collateral are not adequately protected (or any
other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens
granted to the ABL Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this
Agreement or (z) any lawful exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the
right to credit bid ABL Obligations at any sale of Common Collateral or Receivables Collateral;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or
restrict the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party from contesting or
challenging (or support any other Person contesting or challenging) any request by the ABL
Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for “adequate protection” (or the grant of any such
“adequate protection”) to the extent such “adequate protection” is in the form of a Lien on any
Non-Receivables Collateral.




          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency
Proceeding, if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with
respect to Common Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not
of a type which would otherwise have constituted Common Collateral (unless such additional
collateral is an asset of an ABL Entity)), then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and
the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the New First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself
and/or any of the New First Lien Secured Parties, may, subject to the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate
protection with respect to its interests in such Common Collateral in the form of a Lien on the
same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL
Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the New First Lien Collateral Agent on the
Common Collateral (it being understood that to the extent that any such additional collateral
constituted Non-Receivables Collateral at the time it was granted to the ABL Secured Parties, the




-24-









 







Lien thereon in favor of the ABL Secured Parties shall be subordinate in all respects to the
Liens thereon in favor of the New First Lien Secured Parties).




     Section 6.4 Asset Sales. The New First Lien Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the
New First Lien Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Collateral
Agent of any Common Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar
provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such
sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement.



     Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The New First Lien
Collateral Agent, each New First Lien Secured Party, each ABL Secured Party and the ABL Collateral
Agent each acknowledge and agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security
Documents on the one hand and the New First Lien Security Documents on the other hand constitute
separate and distinct grants of Liens and the New First Lien Secured Parties’ claims against the
Company and/or any Grantor in respect of Common Collateral constitute junior claims separate and
apart (and of a different class) from the senior claims of the ABL Secured Parties against the
Company and the Grantors in respect of Common Collateral and (ii) because of, among other things,
their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the New First Lien Obligations are fundamentally
different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization
proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties
as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured
Parties and any New First Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only
one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL
Secured Parties and the New First Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all
distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and New
First Lien Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that
the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims
held by the New First Lien Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive,
in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other
claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract rate,
before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the New First Lien Secured Parties
from such Common Collateral), with the New First Lien Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and
agreeing to turn over to the ABL Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them
to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the
effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.



     Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable
under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.



     Section 6.7 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of
the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, and the New First Lien Collateral Agent and
the New First Lien Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:




     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Documents or any New First Lien
Documents;



-25-









 






     (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of,
all or any of the ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver
or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of
conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document or
of the terms of the New First Lien Agreement or any other New First Lien Document;




     (c) any exchange of any security interest in any Receivables 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 ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations
or any guarantee thereof;




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




     (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than a
defense that such obligations have in fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of, the
Company or any other Grantor in respect of ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations in
respect of this Agreement.



ARTICLE 7

MISCELLANEOUS




     Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. The New First Lien Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of
itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Collateral Agent
or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the New First
Lien Collateral Agent or such New First Lien Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in
respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred. Following the
Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent agrees to execute such documents,
agreements, and instruments as the New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured
Party may reasonably request, at the Company’s expense, to evidence the transfer by subrogation to
any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Collateral
Agent by such Person.



     Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from
time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all
further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Party may reasonably request, in
order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
ABL Collateral Agent or the New First Lien Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over
any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action
referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or
other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and in the event of a
controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of
competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution
under this Section 7.2.



-26-









 





     Section 7.3 Representations. The New First Lien Collateral Agent represents and warrants for itself to
the ABL Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the New First Lien
Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of
itself and the New First Lien Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations
of the New First Lien Collateral Agent and the New First Lien Secured Parties, enforceable against
the New First Lien Collateral Agent and the New First Lien Secured Parties in accordance with its
terms. The ABL Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the New First Lien Collateral Agent
that it has the requisite power and authority under the ABL Documents to enter into, execute,
deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties
and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL
Secured Parties, enforceable against the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in
accordance with its terms.



     Section 7.4 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any
departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by
the New First Lien Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent, and consented to in writing by
the Company, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 to the
contrary, this Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the Company, at the
Company’s expense, and without the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the
New First Lien Collateral Agent or any New First Lien Secured Party to (i) provide for a
replacement ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the ABL Documents (including for the avoidance
of doubt to provide for a replacement ABL Collateral Agent assuming such role in connection with
any Refinancing of the ABL Credit Agreement not prohibited by the New First Lien Agreement),
provide for a replacement New First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the New First Lien
Documents (including for the avoidance of doubt to provide for a replacement New First Lien
Collateral Agent assuming such role in connection with any Refinancing of the New First Lien
Documents permitted hereunder) and/or secure additional extensions of credit or add other parties
holding ABL Obligations or New First Lien Obligations to the extent such Indebtedness does not
expressly violate the ABL Credit Agreement or the New First Lien Agreement and (ii) in the case of
such additional New First Lien Obligations, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral
securing such New First Lien Obligations shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all
Liens on the Common Collateral securing any ABL Obligations (at least to the same extent as (taken
together as a whole) the Liens on Common Collateral in favor of the New First Lien Obligations are
junior and subordinate to the Liens on Common Collateral in favor of the ABL Obligations pursuant
to this Agreement immediately prior to the incurrence of such additional New First Lien
Obligations) and (b) provide to the holders of such New First Lien Obligations (or any agent or
trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits
that have been consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent) as are provided to the New First Lien
Secured Parties under this Agreement.



     Section 7.5 Addresses for Notices. All notices to the ABL Secured Parties and the New First Lien
Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the applicable Collateral
Agent for such Secured Party, respectively, as provided in the applicable Credit Document. Unless
otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other



-27-









 




communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be
personally served, telecopied, electronically mailed or sent by courier service or U.S. mail and
shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of
a telecopy or electronic mail or upon receipt via U.S. mail (registered or certified, with postage
prepaid and properly addressed).




     Section 7.6 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.



     Section 7.7 Continuing Agreement; Transfer of Secured Obligations. This Agreement is a continuing
agreement and shall (a) subject to Section 5.3, remain in full force and effect until the Discharge
of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and
assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give,
any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Common
Collateral. All references to any Grantor shall include any Grantor as debtor-in-possession and
any receiver or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the New
First Lien Collateral Agent and any New First Lien Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer
all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or the New First Lien Obligations, as applicable, to any
other Person (other than the Company, any Grantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Grantor
and any Subsidiary of the Company or any Grantor), and such other Person shall thereupon become
vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to the ABL Collateral Agent,
the New First Lien Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any New First Lien Secured Party, as
the case may be, herein or otherwise. The ABL Secured Parties and the New First Lien Secured
Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit
and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of,
any Grantor on the faith hereof.



     Section 7.8 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. The validity, performance, and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements, written or oral, with
respect thereto.



     Section 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including by
means of facsimile or “pdf” file thereof, and it is not necessary that the signatures of all
Parties be contained on any one counterpart hereof, each counterpart will be deemed to be an

Obligations. The New First Lien Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that the relative
