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

Common Collateral or any other collateral by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender in respect of the Senior Lender Claims, the exercise of any right by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in

 10 








 
any such party, of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral or any other collateral under the Senior Lender Documents or otherwise in
respect of Senior Lender Claims, or (z) object to the forbearance by the Senior Lenders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral or any
other collateral in respect of Senior Lender Claims and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right
to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured

applicable Second Priority Claims, (B) each Second Priority Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims, or the rights of either First Lien Agent or the Senior Lenders to

reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the Company or any other Grantor, in each case (A) through (E) above to the extent such action is not inconsistent with, or could not result in a resolution inconsistent with,
the terms of this Agreement. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral, each First Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders may enforce the provisions of the Senior Lender Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all
in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral or other
collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor
under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction. 
 (b) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, each Second
Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will not take or receive any Common Collateral or other collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral or other collateral in connection with the
exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) with respect to any Common Collateral or other collateral in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the

granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred.

whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby waives any and all rights it or any Second Priority Secured Party may have as a junior
lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders seek to enforce or collect the Senior Lender Claims or the Liens granted in any of the Senior Lender Collateral, regardless of whether any action or
failure to act by or on behalf of any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders is adverse to the interests of the Second Priority Secured Parties. 
 (d) Each Second Priority Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Second Priority Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any First Lien
Agent or Senior Lenders with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Lender Documents.

respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral or any other collateral under any of the applicable Second Priority Documents or otherwise in respect of the applicable Second Priority Claims relating to the Common Collateral. 
 3.3. Actions Upon Breach. If any Second Priority Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or
threatens to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), this Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and
admission by such Second Priority Secured Party that relief against such Second Priority Secured Party by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the Senior Lenders, it
being understood and agreed by each Second Priority Agent on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party that (i) the Senior Lenders’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable,
and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the Senior Lenders cannot demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by the awarding of damages.

 SECTION 4. Payments. 
 4.1. Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, the Common Collateral and any other collateral in
respect of the Second Priority Claims or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Common Collateral or other collateral upon the exercise of remedies as a secured party, shall be applied
by the First Lien Agents to the Senior Lender Claims in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Lender Documents until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, subject to Section 5.7
hereof, each of the First Lien Agents shall deliver promptly to the Second Priority Designated Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may otherwise direct to be applied by the Second Priority Designated Agent ratably to the Second Priority Claims in such order as specified in the Second Priority Documents. 
 4.2. Payments Over. Any Common Collateral or other collateral in respect of the Second Priority Claims or proceeds thereof received by any Second
Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) relating to the Common Collateral or such other collateral prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims
shall be segregated and held for the benefit of and forthwith paid over to the First Priority Designated Agent (and/or its designees) for the benefit of the Senior Lenders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agents are each hereby individually authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any Second Priority Agent or any such Second Priority Secured Party. This authorization is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
 SECTION 5. Other Agreements. 
 5.1. Releases. 
 (a) If, at any time
any Grantor or the holder of any Senior Lender Claim delivers notice to each Second Priority Agent that any specified Common Collateral (including all or substantially all of the equity interests of a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries) (including
for such purpose, in the case of the sale of equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) is: 
 (A) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of: 
 (i) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture and each
other Senior Lender Document and Second Priority Document (if any); or 
 (ii) during the existence of any Event of Default
under (and as defined in) the Credit Agreement or the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents to the extent that any of the First Lien Agents has consented to such sale, transfer or disposition; or 
  

 13 








 (B) otherwise released as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Other First Priority Lien Obligations
Credit Documents, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when,
but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral securing Senior Lender Claims are released and discharged. Upon delivery to each Second Priority Agent of a notice from any First Lien Agent stating that any release of Liens securing or
supporting the Senior Lender Claims has become effective (or shall become effective upon each Second Priority Agent’s release) (whether in connection with a sale of such assets by the relevant Grantor pursuant to the preceding sentence or
otherwise), each Second Priority Agent will promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms. 
 (b) Each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints
each First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of such First Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Second Priority Agent or such
holder or in such First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in such First Lien Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all
documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. 
 (c) Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Second
Priority Secured Party, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of Common Collateral or other collateral to the repayment of Senior Lender Claims pursuant to the Senior Lender Documents; provided that
nothing in this Section 5.1(c) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Second Priority Agents or the Second Priority Secured Parties to receive proceeds in connection with the Second Priority Claims not otherwise in
contravention of this Agreement. 
 5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each First
Lien Agent and the Senior Lenders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Senior Lender Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Common Collateral or any other collateral
in respect of the Second Priority Claims in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral or such other collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of
Senior Lender Claims has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral or such other collateral shall be paid (a) first, prior to the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to
the First Lien Agents for the benefit of Senior Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Senior Lender Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, to the Second Priority Agents for the benefit of the Second
Priority Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and (c) third, if no Second Priority Claims are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a
court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If any Second 

  

 14 








 
Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention
of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to any First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2. 
 5.3.
Amendments to Second Priority Collateral Documents. 
 (a) So long as the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has not occurred, without
the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents, no Second Priority Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Second
Priority Collateral Document, would be prohibited by or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. Each Second Priority Agent agrees that each applicable Second Priority Collateral Document executed as of the date hereof shall include the
following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Agents): 
 “Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the [applicable Second Priority Agent for the benefit of the [Secured Parties]] pursuant to this agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests
granted to Bank of America, N.A. as collateral agent (and its permitted successors), for the benefit of the secured parties referred to below, pursuant to the [Collateral Agreement] dated as of January 28, 2008 (as amended, amended and
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), from [the Company and the other “Pledgors” referred to therein], in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as collateral agent for the benefit of the secured parties referred to
therein [and to the liens and security interests granted to [Other First Priority Lien Obligations Agent] pursuant to [Other First Priority Lien Obligations Security Document (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time)]], and
(ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the [applicable Second Priority Agent] hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of December 24, 2008 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), by and among Bank of America, N.A. in its capacity as First Lien Agent and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee. In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.” 
 (b) In
the event that the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of or replace any Senior Collateral Document for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures
from any provisions of, any Senior Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agents, the Senior Lenders, the Company or any other Grantor thereunder (including the release of any Liens in Senior Lender Collateral),
then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of each Comparable Second Priority Collateral Document without the consent of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and without any
action by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party; provided, that such amendment, waiver or consent does not materially adversely affect the rights of the Second Priority Secured Parties or the interests of the Second Priority
Secured Parties in the Second Priority Collateral and not the other creditors of the Company or such Grantor, as the case may be, that have a security interest in the affected collateral in a like or similar manner (without regard to the fact that
the Lien of such Senior Collateral Document is 

  

 15 








 
senior to the Lien of the Comparable Second Priority Collateral Document). The relevant First Lien Agent shall give written notice of such amendment, waiver
or consent to each Second Priority Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to the provisions of any Second Priority Collateral Document as set forth in
this Section 5.3(b). 
 (c) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has
occurred, no Second Priority Collateral Document shall be entered into unless the collateral covered thereby is also subject to a perfected first-priority interest in favor of the First Lien Agents for the benefit of the Senior Lenders pursuant to
the Senior Collateral Documents. 
 5.4. Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second Priority Documents and applicable
law, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party of the required payments of interest and
principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of (a) the exercise by any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or other
collateral or (b) enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien in respect of Second Priority Claims held by any of them. In the event any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor
or other secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or other collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Priority Claims or otherwise, such judgment or other lien shall be subordinated
to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise
adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agents or the Senior Lenders may have with respect to the Senior Lender Collateral. 
 5.5. First Lien Agents as Gratuitous Bailees for Perfection. 
 (a) Each First Lien Agent agrees to hold the Pledged
Collateral that is part of the Common Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of
perfecting the security interest granted in such Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5 (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the
requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC). 
 (b) In the event that any First Lien Agent (or its agent or
bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Senior Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, such First Lien Agent agrees to
hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Agreements, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.5. 
  

 16 








 (c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein (including Sections 3.1 and 4.1), until the
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, any First Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Senior Lender Documents as if the Liens under the Second Priority Collateral Documents did
not exist. The rights of the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to such Pledged Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) The First Lien Agents shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to assure that the
Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. The duties or
responsibilities of the First Lien Agents under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for each Second Priority Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second Priority
Secured Parties. 
 (e) The First Lien Agents shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any
other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby waive and release the First Lien Agents from all
claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First Lien Agents’ role under this Section 5.5, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral. 
 (f) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the relevant First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that
it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any) and to the extent such Pledged Collateral is in the possession or control of such First Lien Agent (or its agents or bailees) together with any necessary endorsements (or
otherwise allow the Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. 
 (g) Neither the First Lien Agents nor the Senior Lenders shall be required to marshal any present or future collateral security for the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ obligations to the First Lien Agents or
the Senior Lenders under the Credit Agreement or the Senior Collateral Documents or any assurance of payment in respect thereof or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of their rights
in respect of such collateral security or any assurance of payment in respect thereof shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. 
 5.6. Second Priority Designated Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. 
 (a) Upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold the Pledged Collateral that is part of the Common
Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such
Pledged Collateral pursuant to the applicable Second Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6. 
  

 17 








 (b) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent (or its agent or bailees) has Lien filings
against Intellectual Property (as defined in the Senior Collateral Agreement) that is part of the Common Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Common Collateral, upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second
Priority Designated Agent agrees to hold such Liens as gratuitous bailee for the other Second Priority Agents and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the applicable Second
Priority Collateral Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.6. 
 (c) The Second Priority Designated Agent, in
its capacity as gratuitous bailee, shall have no obligation whatsoever to the other Second Priority Agents or the First Lien Agent to assure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors or to protect or preserve rights or benefits
of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.6. The duties or responsibilities of the Second Priority Designated Agent under this Section 5.6 upon the Discharge of Senior
Lender Claims shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the other Second Priority Agents for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties. 
 (d) The Second Priority Designated Agent shall not have by reason of the Second Priority Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a
fiduciary relationship in respect of the other Second Priority Agents (or the Second Priority Secured Parties for which such other Second Priority Agents are agents) and the other Second Priority Agents hereby waive and release the Second Priority
Designated Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Second Priority Designated Agent’s role under this Section 5.6, as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral. 
 (e) In the event that the Second Priority Designated Agent shall cease to be so designated the Second Priority Designated Agent pursuant to the
definition of such term, the then Second Priority Designated Agent shall deliver to the successor Second Priority Designated Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Pledged Collateral (if any), together with any
necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the successor Second Priority Designated Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and such successor Second Priority Designated Agent
shall perform all duties of the Second Priority Designated Agent as set forth herein. 
 5.7. Release Upon Discharge of Senior Lender
Claims; No Release If Event of Default; Reinstatement. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in clause (b) of this Section 5.7,
upon the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims and the concurrent release of the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims, the Liens in favor of the Second Priority Secured Parties shall automatically be released and discharged. 
  

 18 








 (b) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Agreement, if an Event of Default (as defined
in the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document, as applicable) exists on the date of Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the Second Priority Liens on the Second Priority Collateral securing the Second
Priority Claims relating to such Event of Default will not be released, except to the extent such Second Priority Collateral or any portion thereof was disposed of in order to repay Senior Lender Claims secured by such Second Priority Collateral,
and thereafter the applicable Second Priority Agent will have the right to foreclose upon such Second Priority Collateral (but in such event, the Liens on such Second Priority Collateral securing the applicable Second Priority Claims will be
released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document, as applicable, cease to exist). 
 (c) If, at any time after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, the Company incurs and designates any Senior Lender Claims, then such
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first
Discharge of Senior Lender Claims), and the applicable agreement governing such Senior Lender Claims shall automatically be treated as the Credit Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights
in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein and the granting by the First Lien Agents of amendments, waivers and consents hereunder. Upon receipt of notice of such designation (including the identity of any new First Lien Agent), each Second
Priority Agent shall promptly (i) enter into such documents and agreements, including amendments or supplements to this Agreement, as such new First Lien Agent shall reasonably request in writing in order to provide the new First Lien Agent the
rights of the First Lien Agents contemplated hereby and (ii) to the extent then held by any Second Priority Agent, deliver to such First Lien Agent the Pledged Collateral that is Common Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or
otherwise allow such First Lien Agent to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). 
 SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceedings. 
 6.1. Financing Issues. If the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding and any First Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar
provision in any Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that it will raise no objection to, and will not support any objection
to, and will not otherwise contest (a) such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by Section 6.3) and, to the extent the
Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims under the Senior Lender Documents are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the Common Collateral and any other collateral to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations
relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement, (b) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction
against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Lender Claims made by any First Lien Agent or any holder of Senior Lender Claims, (c) any lawful exercise by any holder of Senior Lender 

  

 19 








 
Claims of the right to credit bid Senior Lender Claims at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Lender Collateral, (d) any other request for judicial relief
made in any court by any holder of Senior Lender Claims relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Lender Collateral or (e) any order relating to a sale of assets of any Grantor for which any First Lien Agent has consented that
provides, to the extent the sale is to be free and clear of Liens, that the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and the Second Priority Claims will attach to the proceeds of the sale on the same basis of priority as the Liens securing the Senior
Lender Collateral do to the Liens securing the Second Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. 
 6.2. Relief from the
Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or
any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Common Collateral or any other collateral, without the prior written consent of all First Lien Agents and Required Lenders. 
 6.3. Adequate Protection. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that none of
them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by any First Lien Agent or Senior Lenders to any motion, relief, action or
proceeding based on such First Lien Agent’s or the Senior Lenders’ claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Lenders (or any subset thereof)
are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law, then
each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and any applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (A) may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien is subordinated to the
Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims and such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this
Agreement and (B) agrees that it will not seek or request, and will not accept, adequate protection in any other form, and (ii) in the event any Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any applicable Second Priority Secured Party,
seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then such Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or each such Second Priority Secured Party, agrees that the First Lien Agents
shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the applicable Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Priority Claims shall be
subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Lender Claims and any such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Lenders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other
Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Lender Claims under this Agreement. 
 6.4.
Avoidance Issues. If any Senior Lender is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor),
because the payment of 

  

 20 








 
such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether
received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then as among the parties hereto the Senior Lender Claims shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had
not occurred and the Senior Lenders shall be entitled to a Discharge of Senior Lender Claims with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights hereunder until such time. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto. 
 6.5. Application. This Agreement shall be applicable prior to and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. All
references herein to any Grantor shall apply to any trustee for such Person and such Person as debtor in possession. The relative rights as to the Common Collateral and other collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing thereof on
the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor. 
 6.6. Waivers. Until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims has occurred, each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party, (a) will not assert or enforce any
claim under Section 506(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Lender Claims for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Common Collateral or other collateral, and
(b) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Senior Lender of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. 
 SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc. 
 7.1. Reliance. The consent by the Senior Lenders to the execution and delivery of the Second Priority Documents to which the Senior Lenders have consented and all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after
Closing Date by the Senior Lenders to the Company or any Subsidiary shall be deemed to have been given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Priority Secured Party,
acknowledges that it and the applicable Second Priority Secured Parties is not entitled to rely on any credit decision or other decisions made by any First Lien Agent or any Senior Lender in taking or not taking any action under the applicable
Second Priority Document or this Agreement. 
 7.2. No Warranties or Liability. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender
shall have been deemed to have made any express or implied representation or warranty upon which the Second Priority Agent or the Second Priority Secured Parties may rely, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness,
collectibility or enforceability of any of the Senior Lender Documents, the ownership of any Common Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Senior Lenders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and
extensions of credit under the Senior Lender Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Lenders may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights
or interests that any Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Priority Secured Parties have in the 

  

 21 








 
Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither any First Lien Agent nor any Senior Lender shall have any duty to any
Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Company or any Subsidiary
thereof (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the First Lien Agents, the Senior Lenders, the Second Priority Agents and
the Second Priority Secured Parties have not otherwise made to each other, nor do they hereby make to each other, any warranties, express or implied, nor do they assume any liability to each other with respect to (a) the enforceability,
validity, value or collectibility of any of the Second Priority Claims, the Senior Lender Claims or any guarantee or security which may have been granted to any of them in connection therewith, (b) the Company’s title to or right to
transfer any of the Common Collateral or (c) any other matter except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 7.3. Obligations
Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Agents and the Senior Lenders, and the Second Priority Agents and the Second Priority Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect irrespective of: 
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Lender Documents or any Second Priority Documents;

 (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second
Priority Claims, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Senior Lender Document or of the terms of
the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document; 
 (c) any exchange of any security interest in any
Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senior Lender Claims or Second Priority Claims or any guarantee thereof;

 (d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or 
 (e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other Grantor in respect of the
Senior Lender Claims, or of any Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.
Miscellaneous. 
 8.1. Conflicts. Subject to Section 8.19, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and the provisions of any Senior Lender Document or any Second Priority Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern. 
  

 22 








 8.2. Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. Subject to Section 6.4, this
Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims shall have occurred or such later time as all the Obligations in respect of the Second Priority Claims shall have been paid in full. This is a continuing agreement
of lien subordination and the Senior Lenders may continue, at any time and without notice to each Second Priority Agent or any Second Priority Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit
of the Company or any other Grantor constituting Senior Lender Claims in reliance hereon. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this
Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. 
 8.3. Amendments; Waivers. Subject to Section 8.22 hereof, no amendment, modification or waiver of any
of the provisions of this Agreement by any Second Priority Agent or any First Lien Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of the party making the same or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any,
shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. The
Company and the other Grantors shall not have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights are adversely affected (in which case the Company shall have
the right to consent to or approve any such amendment, modification or waiver).

permitted under each of the Credit Agreement, each Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Document, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture, all other relevant Senior Lender Documents and Second Priority Documents and this
Agreement. If so permitted, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of such designation, the applicable Other First Priority Lien Obligations Agent or the administrative agent or trustee and collateral agent for such Future Second Lien
Indebtedness shall execute and deliver to each First Lien Agent and Second Priority Agent, a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Agreement Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in this Section 8.22 or in Section 8.3 hereof, any First Lien Agent and/or any Second Priority Agent may, and, at the request of the Company, shall, in each case, without the consent of any other First Lien Agent or Second
Priority Agent, any Senior Lender or any Second Priority Secured Party, enter into a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment, an amendment and restatement or a supplement of this Agreement) to facilitate the designation of
such additional obligations as Other First Priority Lien Obligations or Future Second Lien Indebtedness. Any such amendment may, among other things, (i) add other parties holding Future Second Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or trustee
therefor) to the extent such Indebtedness is not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document governing
Future Second Lien Indebtedness, (ii) add other parties holding Obligations arising under the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents (or any agent or trustee thereof) to the extent such Obligations are not prohibited by the
Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes Indenture or any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness, (iii) in the case of Future Second
Lien Indebtedness, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common Collateral securing such Future Second Lien Indebtedness shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Senior Lender Claims and
shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims, and (b) provide to the holders of such Future Second Lien Indebtedness (or any agent or
trustee thereof) the comparable rights and benefits (including any improved rights and benefits that have been consented to by the First Lien Agents) as are provided to the holders of Second Priority Claims under the foregoing Agreement prior to the
incurrence of such Future Second Lien Indebtedness, 

  

 27 








 
and (iv) in the case of Obligations arising under Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, (a) establish that the Lien on the Common
Collateral securing such Obligations shall be superior in all respects to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any Second Priority Claims and any Future Second Lien Indebtedness and shall share in the benefits of the Common Collateral equally
and ratably with all Liens on the Common Collateral securing any other Senior Lender Claims, and (b) provide to the holders of such Obligations arising under the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents (or any agent or trustee
thereof) the comparable rights and benefits as are provided to the holders of Senior Lender Claims under the foregoing Agreement prior to the incurrence of such Obligations. Any such additional party, each First Lien Agent and each Second Priority
Agent shall be entitled to rely on the determination of officers of the Company that such modifications do not violate the Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Second Priority Senior Secured Notes
Indenture or any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness if such determination is set forth in an officers’ certificate delivered to such party, the First Lien Agents and each Second Priority Agent; provided,
however, that such determination will not affect whether or not the Company has complied with its undertakings in the Credit Agreement, the Other First Priority Lien Obligations Credit Documents, the Senior Collateral Documents, the Second Priority
Senior Secured Notes Indenture, any other Second Priority Document governing Future Second Lien Indebtedness or the Second Priority Collateral Documents. 
 8.23. Intercreditor Agreements. Each party hereto agrees that the Senior Lenders (as among themselves) and the Second Priority Secured Parties (as among themselves) may each enter into
intercreditor agreements (or similar arrangements) with the applicable First Lien Agent or Second Priority Agent governing the rights, benefits and privileges as among the Senior Lenders or the Second Priority Secured Parties, as the case may be, in
respect of the Common Collateral, this Agreement and the other Senior Collateral Documents or Second Priority Collateral Documents, as the case may be, including as to application of proceeds of the Common Collateral, voting rights, control of the
Common Collateral and waivers with respect to the Common Collateral, in each case so long as (A) the terms thereof do not violate or conflict with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Senior Collateral Documents or Second Priority
Collateral Documents, as the case may be, (B) in the case of any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) affecting any Senior Lenders, the First Lien Agent acting on behalf of such Senior Lenders agrees in its sole discretion to
enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) and (C) in the case of any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) affecting the Senior Lenders holding Senior Lender Claims under the Credit Agreement, such
intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) is permitted under the Credit Agreement or the Required Lenders otherwise authorize the applicable First Lien Agent to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement).
Notwithstanding the preceding clauses (B) and (C), to the extent that the applicable First Lien Agent is not authorized by the Required Lenders to enter into any such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement ) or does not agree to enter
into such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement ), such intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement ) shall not be binding upon the applicable First Lien Agent but, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, may still bind the
other parties party thereto. In any event, if a respective intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement) exists, the provisions thereof shall not be (or be construed to be) an amendment, modification or other change to this Agreement or any other
Senior Collateral Document or Second Priority Collateral Document, and the provisions of this Agreement and the other Senior Collateral 

  

 28 








 
Documents and Second Priority Collateral Documents shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (as such provisions
may be amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, including to give effect to any intercreditor agreement (or similar arrangement)).
