 12 








 (a) so long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has not occurred, (i) any

enforceability of any Third Priority Lien, any Second Priority Lien, any First Priority Lien or any Lien that would constitute a First Priority Lien but for the fact that it purportedly secures any Excess Claims, as the case may be; provided

assets included in the First Priority Collateral, the Second Priority Collateral and the Third Priority Collateral, the steps taken to perfect the First Priority Liens, the Second Priority Liens and the Third Priority Liens thereon and the identity
of the respective parties obligated under the First Priority Debt Documents, the Second Priority Debt Documents and the Third Priority Debt Documents in respect of the First Priority Claims, the Second Priority Claims and the Third Priority Claims,
respectively.

and assign to the Second Priority Secured Parties, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the First Priority Claims (such right, the “Buy-Out Right”); provided that (x) such

interest thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment of the loans and other advances under, or early termination of, the First Priority Debt Agreement (such fees are referred to
hereinafter as “First Priority Termination Fees”)) plus all the other First Priority Claims then outstanding (which shall include, with respect to (i) the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit outstanding
under the First Priority Debt Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 105% thereof, (ii) each interest rate hedging, cap, collar, swap or other similar agreements that evidence any First Priority Hedging Obligations, 100% of the aggregate amount

(iii) each agreement that evidence any First Priority Cash Management Obligations, 

  

 18 








 
100% of the aggregate amount of such First Priority Claims). In order to effectuate the foregoing, the First Priority Agent shall calculate, upon the written

assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of First Priority Claims and the Discharge of Second Priority Claims (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the
Second Priority Claims and the payment of Second Priority Claims in excess of the Maximum Second Priority Indebtedness Amount), the Second Priority Secured Parties recover any First Priority Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the

 (ii) If the Second Priority Secured Parties have the opportunity to exercise their Buy-Out Right and elect not to exercise such right, or if the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred and the Indebtedness
then outstanding under the Second Priority Debt Agreement has been accelerated, then the Third Priority Secured Parties may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Company and the First Priority Agent and the Second Priority Agent
(which notice shall be irrevocable), require the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties to transfer and assign to the First Priority Secured Parties, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less
than all) of the First Priority Claims and Second Priority Claims; provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, and
(y) the Third Priority Secured Parties shall have paid to the First Priority Agent and the Third Priority Agent, for the account of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, in immediately available funds, an
amount equal to, (x) in respect of the First Priority Claims, the First Priority Claim Buy-Out Amount and, (y) in respect of the Second Priority Claims, 100% of the principal of such Indebtedness plus all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment of the Loans and other advances under, or in early termination of the Second Priority Debt Agent (such fee referred to herein as the
“Second Priority Termination Fee”) plus all other Second Priority Claims then outstanding. If the right set forth in this Section 3.01(d)(ii) is exercised, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in
any event within ten Business Days of the request set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.01(d)(ii). If the Third Priority Secured Parties exercise the right set forth in this Section 3.01(d)(ii), it shall be exercised pursuant
to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Priority Agent and the Second Priority Agent, in respect of its sale, and the Third Priority Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at any time following the consummation
of such transfer and assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of 

  

 19 








 
First Priority Claims, the Discharge of Second Priority Claims and the Discharge of Third Priority Claims (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the
payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the Third Priority Claims and the payment of Third Priority Claims in excess of the Maximum Third Priority Indebtedness Amount), the Third Priority Secured Parties
recover any First Termination Fees or any Second Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the date of such transfer and assignment is consummated, they shall turn over such fees to the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority
Secured Parties, as applicable, in the form and to the extent received. 
 (e)( i) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims has
occurred and the Discharge of Second Priority Claims and the Discharge of Third Priority Claims have not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced or Liquidation Sale, the Second Priority Agent and the
other Second Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies (including any right of setoff) with respect to the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition or
restrictions with respect to the Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or proceeding or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or
Liquidation Sale), in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of any Person that holds an Excess Claims; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any such Person may
file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Excess Claims; (ii) any such Person may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Liens that would have constituted First Priority Liens but
for the fact that such Liens secure Excess Claims, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) adverse to the Second Priority Liens or the Third Priority Liens or the rights of the Second Priority Agent,
any other Second Priority Secured Party, the Third Priority Agent or any other Third Priority Secured Party to exercise remedies in respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the automatic release
of such Liens provided in Section 3.05; (iii) any such Person may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking

Agreement; (iv) any such Person may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors, as provided in Section 3.03(b) (the actions described in this proviso being referred to herein as the “Excess Claims Permitted
Actions”). 
 (ii) So long as the Discharge of First Priority Claims and the Discharge of Second Priority Claims have occurred
and the Discharge of Third Priority Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced or Liquidation Sale, the Third Priority Agent and the other Third Priority Secured Parties shall have the
exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies (including any right of setoff) with respect to the Collateral (including making determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to the 

  

 20 








 
Collateral), or to commence or seek to commence any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any foreclosure action or
proceeding or any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or Liquidation Sale), in each case, without any consultation with or the consent of any Person that holds Excess Claims; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Person that
holds an Excess Claim may take any Excess Claim Permitted Action. 
 (iii) Except for the Excess Claims Permitted Actions, unless and until
the Discharge of Second Priority Claims and the Discharge of Third Priority Claims have occurred, the sole right of any Person holding Excess Claims with respect to the Collateral shall be to receive the proceeds of the Collateral, if any, remaining
after the occurrence of the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Discharge of Second Priority Claims up to the Maximum Second Priority Indebtedness Amount and the Discharge of Third Priority Claims up to the Maximum Third Priority Indebtedness
Amount and in accordance with the agreements, instruments and other documents evidencing or governing the Excess Claims and applicable law. 
 (f) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Second Priority Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Agent and the other Third Priority Secured Parties may enforce the
provisions of the Second Priority Debt Documents and the Third Priority Debt Documents, respectively, and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in their sole discretion, in each case, to the extent
that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise prohibited by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.01. Such exercise and enforcement shall, in each case, to the extent that such enforcement or exercise is not otherwise
prohibited by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.01, include the rights of an agent appointed by them to Dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with any such Disposition and to exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code, the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law. The Second Priority Agent agrees to provide at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the First Priority
Agent of its intention to foreclose upon or Dispose of any Collateral; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in any way limit its ability to foreclose upon or Dispose of any Collateral to the extent that
such foreclosure is not otherwise prohibited by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.01. The Third Priority Agent agrees to provide at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the First Priority Agent and the Second

extent that such foreclosure is not otherwise prohibited by clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 3.01. 
 (g) Each such
Person hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any agreement, instrument or other document that evidences or governs any Excess Claims (other than the provisions of this Agreement that inure to the
benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Second Priority Agent or the other Second Priority Secured Parties or the Third Priority Agent or the other Third Priority Secured
Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the other Second Priority Debt Documents and Third Priority Debt Documents.

 26 








 (iii) subject to the rights of all such Persons under clause (i) above, will

 27 








 For the sake of clarity, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02(c) shall only apply to the
exercise of rights and remedies by the holders of Excess Claims in such capacity and shall not be applicable to the First Priority Secured Parties in respect of their exercise of rights and remedies with respect to their First Priority Claims.

 SECTION 3.03. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. (a) The Second Priority Agent and the other Second Priority Secured
Parties and the Third Priority Agent and the other Third Priority Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Debt Documents and the Third Priority Secured Documents, respectively, and applicable law, enforce rights and
exercise remedies against any Grantor as unsecured creditors; provided that no such action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, (x) the Second Priority
Secured Parties shall be entitled to prosecute litigation against any Grantor or any other Person liable in respect of the Second Priority Claims, notwithstanding whether any Second Lien Standstill Period is then in effect, but shall be prohibited
from taking any action to enforce any judgment until the lapse of any applicable Second Lien Standstill Period, and (y) the Third Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to prosecute litigation against any Grantor or any other Person liable
in respect of the Third Priority Claims, notwithstanding whether any Third Lien Standstill Period is then in effect, but shall be prohibited from taking any action to enforce any judgment until the lapse of any applicable Third Lien Standstill
Period. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party or the Third Priority Agent or any other Third Priority Secured Party of the required payments of principal,
premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under the Second Priority Debt Documents or the Third Priority Debt Documents, respectively, so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by the Second
Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party or the Third Priority Agent or any other Third Priority Secured Party of rights or remedies in contravention of this Agreement as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) against
Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Second Priority Lien and any Third Priority Lien against Collateral (including any judgment lien resulting from the exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor).

 (b) Each Person that holds Excess Claims may, in accordance with the terms of the agreements, instruments and other documents evidencing
or governing the Excess Claims and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise remedies against any Grantor as unsecured creditors; provided that no such action is otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any such Person of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees and other amounts due under such agreements, instruments and other documents so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect
result of the enforcement or exercise by any such Person of rights or remedies in contravention of this Agreement as a secured creditor (including any right of setoff) against Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien
against Collateral that would constitute a First Priority Lien but for the fact that it purportedly secures any Excess Claims (including any judgment lien resulting from the exercise of remedies available to an unsecured creditor).

Release of a Guarantor from its Guarantee (as defined in the Second Priority Debt Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) or from its Guarantee (as defined in the Third Priority Debt Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) (other than any such
First Priority Release in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any rights or remedies with respect to all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor or all or substantially all of its assets), the Second Priority Liens and the Third Priority

behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, shall promptly

 ARTICLE V 
 Bailment for Perfection of Certain Security Interests 
 (a) The Controlling Agent agrees that
if it shall at any time hold a First Priority Lien or a Second Priority Lien, as the case may be, on any Collateral that can be perfected or the priority of which can be enhanced by the possession or control of such Collateral or of any account in
which such Collateral is held, and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Controlling Agent, or of agents or bailees of the Controlling Agent (such Collateral being referred to herein as the
“Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), the Controlling Agent shall, solely for the purpose of perfecting the Other Priority Liens and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article V, also (i) hold and/or maintain
control of such Pledged or Controlled Collateral as gratuitous bailee for and representative (as defined in Section 1-201(35) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) of, or as agent for, the Other Priority Agents,
(ii) with respect to any securities accounts included in the Collateral, have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(3) of the UCC) of such securities accounts on behalf of the Other Priority Agents and (iii) with
respect to any deposit accounts included in the Collateral, act as agent for the Other Priority Agents and any assignee. 
 (b) The
Controlling Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Debt Documents as if the Other Priority Liens did not exist. The obligations and
responsibilities of the Controlling Agent to the Other Priority Agents and the Other Priority Secured Parties under this Article V shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged or Controlled Collateral as gratuitous bailee and
representative (as defined in Section 1-201(35) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York) in accordance with this Article V. Without limiting the foregoing, the Controlling Agent shall have no obligation or
responsibility to ensure that any Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors. The Controlling Agent acting pursuant to this Article V shall not, by reason of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other
document, have a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Other Priority Secured Party. 
 (c) Upon the Discharge of First Priority Claims or
the Discharge of Second Priority Claims, as applicable, the Controlling Agent shall transfer the possession and control of the Pledged or Controlled Collateral, together with any necessary endorsements but without recourse or warranty, (i) if
the Second Priority Claims are outstanding at such time, to the Second Priority Agent, (ii) if no Second Priority Claims are outstanding at such time and any Third Priority Claims are outstanding at such time, to the Third Priority Agent,
(iii) if no Second Priority Claims or Third Priority Claims are outstanding at such time and any Excess Claims are outstanding at such time, to the Persons holding such Excess Claims, and (iv) if no Second Priority Claims, no Third
Priority Claims, and no Excess Claims are outstanding at such time, to the applicable Grantor, in each case so as to allow such Person to obtain possession and control of such Pledged or Controlled Collateral. In connection with any transfer under
clause (i) of the 

  

 37 








 
immediately preceding sentence, the Controlling Agent agrees, at the expense of the Grantors, to take all actions in its power as shall be reasonably
requested by the successor Controlling Agent to permit such successor Controlling Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Other Priority Secured Parties, a first priority security interest in the Pledged or Controlled Collateral. 
 ARTICLE VI 
 Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceedings 
 SECTION 6.01. Finance and Sale Matters. (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has
occurred, the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties: 
 (i) will
not oppose or object to the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative
authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral; 
 (ii) (A) will
not oppose or object to any post-petition financing provided to any Grantor, whether provided by the First Priority Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other
Bankruptcy Law (a “First DIP Financing”), or the Liens securing any First DIP Financing (“First DIP Financing Liens”), unless the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the
First Priority Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to such First DIP Financing or such First DIP Financing Liens, and, to the extent that such First DIP Financing Liens are senior to, or rank pari passu with, the First Priority Liens
on the Collateral, or the First Priority Claims are (x) included as obligations under such First DIP Financing or (y) are repaid with proceeds of the First DIP Financing, the Second Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the
other Second Priority Secured Parties, subordinate the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral and the Third Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, subordinate the Third Priority Liens on the
Collateral, in each case, to the First Priority Liens on the Collateral, if applicable, and to the First DIP Financing Liens (including if the First Priority Claims are (x) included as obligations under such First DIP Financing or (y) are
repaid with proceeds of the First DIP Financing) on the terms of this Agreement (and each Person holding any Excess Claims will subordinate its Liens securing such Excess Claims to the Third Priority Claims, the Second Priority Claims, the First
Priority Liens and the First DIP Financing Liens on the terms of this Agreement); and (B) will not propose any First DIP Financing to any Grantor. 

  

 38 








 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties retain their rights under the Bankruptcy
Code to make post-petition financing proposals and such proposals shall not be deemed to be an objection to any other First DIP Financing proposals so long as (x) any court order approving such post-petition financing requires that the First
Priority Claims be paid in full in cash as a condition to such post-petition financing, and (y) the First Priority Claims are paid in full in cash on the date of such post-petition financing, which date shall be no later than 10 days after the
date on which such post-petition financing is approved by the court in which such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending; 
 (iii) except to the extent permitted by paragraph (c) of this Section 6.01, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in clause (i) above or a First DIP Financing, will not request adequate protection with
respect to any Collateral or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, First DIP Financing or First DIP Financing Liens; and 
 (iv) will not oppose or object to any Disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Second Priority Liens, the Third Priority Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any
comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, if the First Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the First Priority Secured Parties, shall consent to such Disposition. 
 (b) After the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims, the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third
Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Third Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties: 
 (i) will not oppose or object to the use of any Collateral constituting cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, unless the Second
Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Second Priority Secured Parties, shall oppose or object to such use of cash collateral; 
 (ii) (A) will not oppose or object to any post-petition financing provided to any Grantor, whether provided by the Second Priority Secured Parties or any other Person, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law (a “Second DIP Financing”), or the Liens securing any Second DIP Financing (“Second DIP Financing Liens”), unless the Second Priority
Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Second Priority Secured Parties, shall then oppose or object to such Second DIP Financing or such Second DIP Financing Liens, and, to the extent that such Second DIP Financing Liens are senior
to, or rank pari passu with, the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral, or the Second Priority Claims are (x) included as obligations under such Second DIP Financing or (y) are repaid with proceeds of the Second DIP Financing, the
Third Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, subordinate the Third Priority Liens on the 

  

 39 








 
Collateral to the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral, if applicable, and to the Second DIP Financing Liens (including if the Second Priority Claims are
(x) included as obligations under such Second DIP Financing or (y) are repaid with proceeds of the Second DIP Financing) on the terms of this Agreement (and each Person holding any Excess Claims will subordinate its Liens securing such
Excess Claims to the Third Priority Claims, the Second Priority Claims, and the Second DIP Financing Liens on the terms of this Agreement); and (B) will not propose any Second DIP Financing to any Grantor. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Third Priority Secured Parties retain their rights under the Bankruptcy Code to make post-petition financing proposals and such proposals shall not be deemed to be an objection to any other Second DIP Financing proposals so long as
(x) any court order approving such post-petition financing requires that the Second Priority Claims be paid in full in cash as a condition to such post-petition financing, and (y) the Second Priority Claims are paid in full in cash on the
date of such post-petition financing, which date shall be no later than 10 days after the date on which such post-petition financing is approved by the court in which such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending; 
 (iii) except to the extent permitted by paragraph (c) of this Section 6.01, in connection with the use of cash collateral as described in
clause (i) above or a Second DIP Financing, will not request adequate protection with respect to any Collateral or any other relief in connection with such use of cash collateral, Second DIP Financing or Second DIP Financing Liens; and

 (iv) will not oppose or object to any Disposition of any Collateral free and clear of the Third Priority Liens, or other claims under
Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, if the Second Priority Secured Parties, or a representative authorized by the Second Priority Secured Parties, shall consent to such Disposition.

 (c) (i) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, agrees that no Second Priority Secured Party or Third Priority Secured Party shall contest, or support any other Person in contesting, (x) any request by the First Priority Agent or any
other First Priority Secured Party for adequate protection in respect of any First Priority Claims or (y) any objection, based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection with respect of any First Priority Claims, by the First Priority Agent or
any other First Priority Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, in connection with any First DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any First Priority Secured
Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the Second Priority Agent may, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Agent may, for itself and on behalf of
the other Third Priority Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the First Priority Liens (and to the Second Priority Liens, in the case of the
Third Priority Claims) and First DIP Financing Liens on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens and the Third Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens (or to the Second Priority Liens, in the case of the 

  

 40 








 
Third Priority Claims) under this Agreement, (B) any Second Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional
collateral, the First Priority Agent shall, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Priority Claims that is
senior to such Second Priority Lien on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens and senior to the Third Priority Liens under this Agreement, and (C) any Third Priority Secured Party is
granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the First Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other
Second Priority Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral that is senior to such Third Priority Lien as security for the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims, as the case may
be, on the same basis as the other Third Priority Liens are subordinated to the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens under this Agreement. 
 (ii) After the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, will agree that no Third Priority Secured Party, as the case may be,
may contest, or support any other Person in contesting, (x) any request by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party for adequate protection in respect of any Second Priority Claims or (y) any objection, based on
a claim of a lack of adequate protection with respect of any Second Priority Claims, by the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding
sentence, if, in connection with any Second DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, (A) any Second Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the Third Priority Agent may, for itself
and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Second Priority Liens and Second DIP Financing Liens on the
same basis as the other Third Priority Liens are subordinated to the Second Priority Liens under this Agreement and (B) any Third Priority Secured Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional collateral, the Second
Priority Agent will, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Second Priority Claims that is senior to such Third
Priority Lien on the same basis as the other Third Priority Liens are subordinated to the Second Priority Liens. 
 (d) Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the applicable provisions of Section 6.01(a) and (c) above shall only be binding on the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties with respect to any First DIP Financing to the extent the principal
amount of such First DIP Financing, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of the First Priority Claims (which, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any First Priority Claims of the type described in clause
(b) or (c) of the first paragraph of the definition thereof), does not exceed the sum of (i) the Maximum First Priority Indebtedness Amount, and (ii) $5,000,000. 
  

 41 








 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable provisions of Section 6.01(b) and (c) above
shall only be binding on the Third Priority Secured Parties with respect to any Second DIP Financing to the extent the principal amount of such Second DIP Financing, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of the Second Priority
Claims and any First Priority Claims (which, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt shall not include any First Priority Claims of the type described in clause (b) or (c) of the first paragraph of the definition thereof), does not exceed
the sum of (i) the Maximum Second Priority Indebtedness Amount, (ii) the Maximum First Priority Indebtedness Amount, and (iii) $5,000,000. 
 SECTION 6.02. Relief from the Automatic Stay. The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of

Priority Agent, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Second Priority Lien or Third
Priority Lien on the Collateral. After the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties will each agree that, so long as the Discharge of Second Priority Claims
has not occurred, no Third Priority Secured Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Second Priority Agent, seek or request relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
in respect of any part of the Collateral, any proceeds thereof or any Third Priority Lien on the Collateral. 
 SECTION 6.03.
Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization
or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of the First Priority Claims, the Second Priority Claims, the Third Priority Claims, and any Excess Claims, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Priority
Claims, on account of the Second Priority Claims, on account of the Third Priority Claims, and on account of any Excess Claims are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of
such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. 
 SECTION 6.04.
Post-Petition Interest. (a) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, each
agrees that no Second Priority Secured Party or Third Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding
of First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the First Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined without regard to the existence of the Second
Priority Liens or Third Priority Liens on the Collateral). 
  

 42 








 (b) The First Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other First Priority Secured Parties,

Third Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second Priority Liens or Third Priority Liens; provided, however, that (i) if the First Priority Secured Parties shall
have made any such claim, such claim (A) shall have also have been approved or (B) shall have been approved prior to, or will be approved contemporaneous with, the approval of any such claim by any Second Priority Secured Party or any
Third Priority Secured Party and (ii) each First Priority Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge any such claim. 
 (c) After the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties agree that no Third Priority Secured Party, shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by
the Second Priority Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party for allowance in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Second Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Second
Priority Liens (it being understood and agreed that such value will be determined without regard to the existence of the Third Priority Liens on the Collateral). The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority
Secured Parties, agree that the Third Priority Agent of any other Third Priority Secured Party may make a claim for allowance in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding of Third Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses
to the extent of the value of the Third Priority Claims; provided, however, that (i) if the Second Priority Secured Parties shall have made any such claim, such claim (A) shall have also have been approved or (B) will be
approved contemporaneous with the approval of any such claim by any Third Priority Secured Party and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party may oppose or seek to challenge any such claim. 
 SECTION 6.05. Certain Waivers by the Second Priority Secured Parties and the Third Priority Secured Parties. The Second Priority Agent, for
itself and on behalf of the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, waives any claim any Second Priority Secured Party or any Third Priority Secured

Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Third Priority Secured Parties, waives any claim any Third Priority Secured Party may hereafter have against any Second Priority Secured Party arising out of (x) the election by any Second Priority
Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, or (y) any use of cash collateral or financing arrangement, or any grant of a security interest in the

First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Parties, and the Third Priority Agent on behalf of the Third Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, without the written consent of the other, it will
not seek to vote with the other as a single class in connection with any plan of reorganization in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Except as provided in this Section 6.06, nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be construed,
to limit the ability of the Second Priority Agent, the Second Priority Secured Parties, the Third Priority Agent or the Third Priority Secured Parties to vote on any plan of reorganization that maintains the lien subordination provisions of this
Agreement or of either the First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Secured Parties, or the Third Priority Secured Parties to contest any plan of reorganization that does not maintain the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement.
