(a)    any Lien of the Prior Lien Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral securing or purporting to secure Prior Lien Obligations, whether such Lien is now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Prior Lien Agent or any other Prior Lien Claimholder or any other agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how or when acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral securing or purporting to secure any Subordinated Lien Obligations; and

Each of the Term Agents, on behalf of each applicable Term Claimholder and the ABL Agent, on behalf of each ABL Claimholder, consents to the granting of Liens in favor of the other Agents to secure the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations, as applicable, and agrees that no Claimholder will be entitled to, and it will not (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to), contest (directly or indirectly) or support (directly or indirectly) any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding):  (a) the attachment, perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of any Lien in the Collateral held by or on behalf of any of the ABL Claimholders to secure the payment of the ABL Obligations or any of the Term Claimholders to secure the payment of the Term Obligations, (b) the priority, validity or enforceability of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, including the allowability or priority of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or (c) the validity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, or the Term Agents, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 and 6.1.

-17-

-18-
        

Agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which any Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder is a party, (B) any right to undertake self-help re-possession or non-judicial Disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure), and/or (C) any right to institute, prosecute, or otherwise maintain any action or proceeding with respect to such rights, powers or remedies (including any action of foreclosure));
(ii)    will not, directly or indirectly, contest, protest or object to or hinder any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceeding or action (including any partial or complete strict foreclosure) brought by the Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder relating to the ABL Priority Collateral or any other exercise by the Prior Lien Agent or any other Prior Lien Claimholder of any other rights, powers and remedies relating to the ABL Priority Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other Disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, whether under the Prior Lien Documents, applicable law, or otherwise;
(iii)    will not object to the forbearance by the Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral;
(iv)    except as may be permitted by Section 3.1(c), irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waive any and all rights the Subordinated Lien Agent or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection) to the manner in which the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders (A) enforce or collect (or attempt to collect) the Prior Lien Obligations or (B) realize or seek to realize upon or otherwise enforce the Liens in and to the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Prior Lien Obligations, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the Prior Lien Agent or Prior Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Subordinated Lien Agents or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to object (and seek or be awarded any relief of any nature whatsoever based on any such objection), at any time prior or subsequent to any Disposition of any of the ABL Priority Collateral, on the ground(s) that any such Disposition of ABL Priority Collateral (x) would not be or was not “commercially reasonable” within the meaning of any applicable UCC and/or (y) would not or did not comply with any other requirement under any applicable UCC or under any other applicable law governing the manner in which a secured creditor (including one with a Lien on real property) is to realize on its collateral; and
(v)    acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Subordinated Lien Documents shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Prior Lien Documents;
provided, however, that, in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with the respective priorities set forth in Section 2.1 of this 

-19-
        

Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.
(b)    Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Prior Lien Agent and the other Prior Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off) and, in connection therewith (including any Enforcement) make determinations regarding the release, Disposition, or restrictions with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder; provided, however, that the Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those applied to the Prior Lien Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1) of such ABL Priority Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1.  In exercising rights, powers, and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Prior Lien Agent and the Prior Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Prior Lien Documents and exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies thereunder and/or under applicable law or otherwise, 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 the ABL Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or Disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(ii)    take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral, or the rights of the Prior Lien Agent or any of the Prior Lien Claimholders to exercise rights, powers, and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the ABL Priority Collateral;
(iii)    file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the ABL Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
(iv)    file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.2, any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the Term Priority Collateral; 

-20-
        

(v)    vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the Prior Lien Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn; and
(vi)    to the extent  otherwise permitted by the terms of the Term Documents, in the case of the Term Agents or any Term Claimholder, exercise any of its rights, powers, and/or remedies with respect to any of the Term Priority Collateral.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Section 3.1(c) and Section 6.3, the sole right of the Subordinated Lien Agents and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Lien Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.
(d)    Except as otherwise specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a), 3.1(c) and Article VI or any other provision of this Agreement, any Subordinated Lien Agent or Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and, subject to Section 3.2, may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of ABL Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor (or secured creditor with respect to the Term Priority Collateral) with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Prior Lien Obligations) as the other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
(e)    Subject to Section 6.3, nothing in this Section 3.1 shall prohibit the receipt by any Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or otherwise with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.  Nothing in this Section 3.1 impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders may have against the Grantors under the Prior Lien Documents.

-22-
        

(v)    acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Subordinated Lien Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders with respect to the Term Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Prior Lien Documents;
provided, however, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder with respect to the Term Priority Collateral in accordance with the respective priorities set forth in Section 2.1 of this Agreement after application of such Proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.
(b)    Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, the Prior Lien Agent and the Prior Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off) and make, in connection therewith (including Enforcements) determinations regarding the release, Disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Term Priority Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder; provided, however, that the Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall remain on the Proceeds (other than those properly applied to the Prior Lien Obligations in accordance with the Prior Lien Documents) of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.1.  In exercising rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, the Prior Lien Agent and the Prior Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Prior Lien Documents and exercise rights, powers and/or 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 the Term Priority Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or Disposition, and to exercise all the rights, powers and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Subordinated Lien Agent and any Subordinated Lien Claimholder may:
(i)    file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor;
(ii)    take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral, or the rights of the Prior Lien Agent or any of the Prior Lien Claimholders to exercise rights, powers and/or remedies in respect thereof, including those under Article VI) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any of the Term Priority Collateral;
(iii)    file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Term Priority Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

-23-
        

(iv)    file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not inconsistent with or prohibited by the terms of this Agreement or applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction) and, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.1, any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to secured creditors solely with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral;
(v)    vote on any Plan of Reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions (including in support of or opposition to, as applicable, the confirmation or approval of any Plan of Reorganization) that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization shall be inconsistent with and, accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the Prior Lien Agent shall be entitled to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn; and
(vi)    to the extent otherwise permitted by the ABL Loan Documents, in the case of the ABL Agent or any ABL Claimholder, exercise any of its rights, powers, and/or remedies with respect to any of the ABL Priority Collateral.
Each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that no Subordinated Lien Claimholder will take or receive any Term Priority Collateral (including Proceeds) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off) with respect to any Term Priority Collateral in its capacity as a creditor in violation of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Section 3.2(c) and Section 6.3 the sole right of the Subordinated Lien Agents and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Term Priority Collateral is to hold a Lien on such Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Lien Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with Section 4.1.
(d)    Except as otherwise set forth in Sections 3.2(a), 3.2(c) and Article VI or any other provision of this Agreement, the Subordinated Lien Agents and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Term Loan Collateral may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor and, subject to Section 3.1, may exercise rights and remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that in the event that any Subordinated Lien Agent or Subordinated Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Term Priority Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor (or a secured creditor with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral) with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Prior Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.
(e)    Subject to Section 6.3, nothing in this Section 3.2 shall prohibit the receipt by any Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by a Subordinated Lien Agent or any Subordinated Lien 

-24-
        

Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) or otherwise with respect to Term Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

3.3.    Set-Off and Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds.  The Term Agents, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, acknowledge and agree that, to the extent any Term Agent or any Term Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any ABL Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1.  The  ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent  the ABL Agent or  any ABL Claimholder exercises its rights of set-off against any Term Priority Collateral or any Grantors’ Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts that contain identifiable Cash Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral, the amount of such set-off shall be held and distributed pursuant to Section 4.1.  The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, and each Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders further agrees that, solely as between the Agents and Claimholders, prior to an issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Collateral purchased or acquired by a Grantor using Proceeds of Collateral shall be treated as Collateral, and not Proceeds of Collateral, for purposes of determining the relative priorities in such Collateral; provided that after the issuance of an Enforcement Notice or the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, all identifiable proceeds of Term Priority Collateral shall be deemed Term Priority Collateral (whether or not deposited under Account Agreements in favor of the ABL Agent).  In addition, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations occurs, subject to Section 4.2, the Term Agents, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Claimholders, hereby consent to the application, prior to the receipt by the ABL Agent of an Enforcement Notice issued by any Term Agent, and thereafter, except as it relates to identifiable cash proceeds of Term Priority Collateral, of cash or other Proceeds of Collateral, deposited under Account Agreements in favor of the ABL Agent to the repayment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents.
3.4.    Trademark Access Rights.  Prior to the earlier of the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the sale of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral, each Term Agent (i) shall, to the extent such Term Agent has the right to do so and as permitted under the Term Documents and by law, permit the ABL Agent and its agents or representatives at the ABL Agent’s option to use, on a nonexclusive, royalty free basis, any of the Trademarks included as part of the Term Priority Collateral as is or may be necessary for the ABL Agent to exercise its rights and remedies with respect to (including collecting any and all moneys due under any Accounts that constitute ABL Priority Collateral), advertise and market ABL Priority Collateral and (ii) hereby grants, to the extent it has the rights to do so, to the ABL Agent (which may be sublicensed to its agents, which sublicense shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement) a nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any of the Trademarks included as part of the Term Priority Collateral as is or may be necessary for the ABL Agent to exercise its rights and remedies with respect to (including collecting any and all moneys due under any Accounts that constitute ABL Priority Collateral), advertise and market ABL Priority Collateral.  Each Term Agent (i) acknowledges and consents to the grant to the ABL Agent by the Grantors of a continuing, non-exclusive royalty-free license for such use at any time prior to the earlier of the Discharge of ABL Obligations and the sale of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral (the “Effective Date License”) and (ii) agrees that its Liens on the Term Priority Collateral shall be subject to the Effective Date License. Each Term Agent further agrees that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Effective Date License shall be extended to 

-25-
        

purchasers of Accounts that constitute ABL Priority Collateral solely for the purpose of such purchaser collecting any and all moneys due under such purchased Accounts, and that upon the obligations of any such Account being satisfied in full, the Effective Date License for such Account shall automatically terminate and (ii) other than as set forth in the preceding clause (i), the Effective Date License shall not extend to any other purchase of ABL Priority Collateral.  Furthermore, each Term Agent agrees that, in connection with any foreclosure sale conducted by any Term Agent (or by any Grantor at the direction, or with the consent, of any Term Agent) in respect of Trademarks, (x) any notice required to be given by any Term Agent in connection with such foreclosure shall contain an acknowledgement that the Term Agents’ Lien is subject to the Effective Date License, and (y) each Term Agent shall deliver a copy of the Effective Date License to any purchaser at such foreclosure and provide written notice to such purchaser that the Term Agents’ Lien and the purchaser’s rights in such transferred Trademarks are subject to the Effective Date License.

Each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that, until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders with respect to any of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders’ Subordinated Lien Collateral shall desire to permit the use of “cash collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) representing Proceeds of such Subordinated Lien Collateral or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Prior Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) secured by a Lien on such Subordinated Lien Collateral, then no Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be entitled to raise (and will not raise or support any Person in raising), but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably and absolutely waived, any objection to, and shall not otherwise in any manner be entitled to oppose or will oppose or support any Person in opposing, such cash collateral use or DIP Financing (including, except as expressly provided below, any claim that the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection on account of their interests in such Subordinated Lien Collateral as a condition thereto) so long as such cash collateral use or DIP Financing meets the following requirements: (i) each Subordinated Lien Claimholder retains a Lien on its Subordinated Lien Collateral securing any DIP Financing with, except as provided in the following sentence, the respective priorities provided in Section 2.1, and no such DIP Financing shall be secured by any Lien on such Subordinated Lien Claimholders’ Prior Lien Collateral that is senior to or pari passu with the Lien thereon of such 

-32-
        

Subordinated Lien Claimholders, and (x) with respect to Subordinated Lien Collateral of the ABL Claimholders or cash collateral in respect thereof, no Lien is granted to secure such DIP Financing on any ABL Priority Collateral and no such cash collateral to be used constitutes Proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral unless the ABL Claimholders have consented thereto in accordance with the ABL Loan Agreement or (y) with respect to Subordinated Lien Collateral of the Term Claimholders or cash collateral in respect thereof, no Lien is granted to secure such DIP Financing on any Term Priority Collateral and no such cash collateral to be used constitutes Proceeds of Term Priority Collateral unless the Term Claimholders have consented thereto in accordance with the Term Documents, (ii) to the extent that the Prior Lien Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are permitted to seek a Lien on such Collateral with, except as set forth in the following sentence, the relative priority set forth in Section 2.1 (and no Prior Lien Agent or Prior Lien Claimholder shall oppose any motion by any Subordinated Lien Claimholder to receive such a Lien), (iii) the terms of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral do not require any Grantor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is not a Conforming Plan of Reorganization and (iv) the terms of such DIP Financing do not require such Subordinated Claimholders to extend additional credit pursuant to such DIP Financing.  If requested by the Prior Lien Agent, each Subordinated Lien Agent and Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be required to subordinate and will subordinate its Liens in its Subordinated Lien Collateral to the Liens thereon securing any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any reasonable “carve-out” therefrom granting administrative priority status or Lien priority to secure repayment of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or creditors’ committee and bankruptcy court and U.S. trustee fees); provided that the Liens on such Subordinated Lien Collateral securing such DIP Financing rank pari passu with or senior to the Liens securing the Prior Lien Obligations.  Each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor any DIP Financing (or support any other Person in seeking to provide to any Grantor any such DIP Financing) to the extent that any Subordinated Lien Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on any of its Subordinated Lien Collateral unless the Prior Lien Claimholders shall have consented thereto.  
6.2.    Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, each Subordinated Lien Agent and the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders agree that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any of their respective Subordinated Lien Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Prior Lien Agent for such Collateral (given or not given in its sole and absolute discretion), unless (i) the Prior Lien Agent already has filed a motion (which remains pending) for such relief with respect to its interest in such Collateral and (ii) a corresponding motion, in the reasonable judgment of the applicable Subordinated Lien Agent, must be filed solely for the purpose of preserving such Subordinated Lien Agent’s ability to receive residual distributions pursuant to Section 4.1, although the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall otherwise remain subject to the applicable restrictions in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 following the granting of any such relief from the automatic stay. For the avoidance of doubt, no ABL Claimholder may seek relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Real Estate Asset and no Term Claimholder may seek relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Foreign Collateral.
6.3.    Adequate Protection.  
(a)    Prior to the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall, except 

-33-
        

as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.3 with respect to the ABL Agent’s seeking adequate protection relating to any Real Estate Asset or the Term Agent’ seeking adequate protection relating to any Foreign Collateral) be entitled to contest and none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (but instead shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any such right):
(i)    any request by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders for relief from the automatic stay with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders (other than any request by any ABL Claimholder for adequate protection in the form of a Lien on any Real Estate Asset or the Proceeds thereof, or any request by any Term Claimholder for adequate protection in the form of a Lien on any Foreign Collateral or the Proceeds thereof ); or
(ii)    any request by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders for adequate protection with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders; or
(iii)    any objection by the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Prior Lien Agent or the other Prior Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to the Subordinated Lien Collateral of such Subordinated Lien Claimholders.
(b)    Consistent with the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, and except as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.7, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, no Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall be entitled (and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right) to seek or otherwise be granted any type of adequate protection with respect to its interests in its Subordinated Lien Collateral (except as expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Prior Lien Agent with respect to such Collateral in its sole and absolute discretion); provided, however, subject to Section 6.1 and Section 6.3(c), Subordinated Lien Claimholders may seek and obtain adequate protection in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement Collateral (other than on any Real Estate Asset, in the case of the ABL Claimholders, and other than on any Foreign Collateral, in the case of the Term Claimholders) so long as (i) the Prior Lien Claimholders have also been granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement Collateral, and (ii) any such Lien on Subordinated Lien Collateral (and on any Collateral granted as adequate protection for the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in respect of their interest in such Subordinated Lien Collateral) is subordinated to the adequate protection and other Liens of the Prior Lien Agent in such Collateral on the same basis as the other Liens of the Subordinated Lien Agents on Subordinated Lien Collateral; and
(c)    Nothing herein shall limit the rights of any Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in their Prior Lien Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) so long as such request is not otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement provided, however, that (i) the ABL Claimholders may be only entitled to seek or receive any Lien or other form of adequate protection with respect to any Real Estate Asset or any Proceeds thereof solely to the extent the Term Claimholders have also been granted adequate protection in such form and (as applicable) (1) any such adequate protection Lien thereon granted to the ABL Claimholders is subordinated to all adequate protection Liens and all other Liens thereon of the Term Claimholders and 

-34-
        

shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Prior Lien Obligations) as the other Liens on Term Priority Collateral securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement and (2) any such other form of adequate protection granted to the ABL Claimholders with respect to the Real Estate is subordinated to the adequate protection in such form that has been granted to the Term Claimholders with respect thereto, and (ii) the Term Claimholders may only be entitled to seek or receive any Lien or other form of adequate protection with respect to any Foreign Collateral or any Proceeds thereof solely to the extent the ABL Claimholders have also been granted adequate protection in such form and (as applicable) (1) any such adequate protection Lien thereon granted to the Term Claimholders is subordinated to all adequate protection Liens and all other Liens thereon of the ABL Claimholders and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Prior Lien Obligations) as the other Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement and (2) any such other form of adequate protection granted to the Term Claimholders with respect to the Foreign Collateral is subordinated to the adequate protection in such form that has been granted to the ABL Claimholders with respect thereto.
6.4.    Avoidance Issues.  If any Prior Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the applicable Grantor any amount paid in respect of ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable (a “Recovery”), then such ABL Claimholders or Term Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated with respect to any Claimholder prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
6.5.    Reorganization Securities; Plan Voting.  
(a)    Subject to the ability of the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders, as applicable, to support or oppose confirmation or approval of any Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to oppose confirmation or approval of any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, as provided herein, 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, both on account of Prior Lien Obligations and on account of Subordinated Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Prior Lien Obligations and on account of the Subordinated Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the debt obligations so distributed, to the Liens securing such debt obligations and the distribution of Proceeds thereof.
(b)    Each Subordinated Lien Creditor acknowledges and agrees that no Subordinated Lien Creditor (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote for, or otherwise support directly or indirectly any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization, without the prior written consent of the Prior Lien Agent.
6.6.    Post-Petition Interest.  No Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Prior Lien Agent or any Prior Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Prior Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on such Prior Lien Claimholder’s Prior Lien Collateral, 

-35-
        

without regard to the existence of the Subordinated Lien Obligations with respect to such Prior Lien Collateral.
6.7.    Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders,  and the Term Agents, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that:  the respective grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral (i) the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and (ii) the ABL Obligations are fundamentally different from the Term Obligations and, in each case, must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders, in each case, in respect of the Collateral, constitute claims in the same class (rather than at least two separate classes of secured claims with the priorities described in Section 2.1, it also being understood that the ABL Claimholders do not have a Lien on any Real Estate Asset and the Term Claimholders do not have a Lien on any Foreign Collateral)), then the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligations and Term Obligations (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of their Prior Lien Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders thereon), the Prior Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that is available from their Prior Lien Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations with respect to such Prior Lien Collateral, with each Subordinated Lien Claimholder acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Prior Lien Agent with respect to such Prior Lien Collateral amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such Prior Lien Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries of the Subordinated Lien Obligations.
6.8.    Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  
(a)    Without limiting the Prior Lien Agent’s and the Prior Lien Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.1(b), neither any Subordinated Lien Agent nor any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or Disposition of any ABL Priority Collateral that is supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Agent and each other Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (and otherwise) to any sale of any ABL Priority Collateral supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce Prior Lien Obligations or any DIP Financing secured by a prior Lien on such ABL Priority Collateral, each Subordinated Lien Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds with the respective priorities described in Section 2.1.
(b)    Without limiting the Prior Lien Agent’s and the Prior Lien Claimholders’ rights under Section 3.2(b), neither any Subordinated Lien Agent nor any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or Disposition of any Term Priority Collateral that is supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders, and each Subordinated Lien Agent and each other Subordinated Lien Claimholder will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of 

-36-
        

the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (and otherwise) to any sale of any Term Priority Collateral supported by the Prior Lien Claimholders and to have released their Liens on such assets; provided that to the extent the Proceeds of such Collateral are not applied to reduce Prior Lien Obligations or any DIP Financing secured by a prior Lien on such Term Priority Collateral, each Subordinated Lien Agent shall retain a Lien on such Proceeds with the respective priorities described in Section 2.1.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders from exercising a credit bid in a sale or other Disposition of their Subordinated Lien Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law; provided that in connection with and immediately after giving effect to such sale and credit bid there occurs a Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations.
(d)    Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, no Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, assert or enforce (or support any Person asserting or enforcing) any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar Bankruptcy Law) pari passu with the Liens on the Prior Lien Collateral securing the Prior Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Prior Lien Collateral.  Furthermore, no Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, oppose or otherwise contest (or support any Person opposing or otherwise contesting) any lawful exercise by the Prior Lien Claimholders of the right to credit bid at any sale of the Prior Lien Collateral.
(e)    Until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations, each Subordinated Lien Agent or any other Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding waive any claim it may hereafter have against any Prior Lien Claimholder arising out of the election thereby of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar Bankruptcy Law) in connection with such Prior Lien Claimholder’s Prior Lien Collateral.
VII.      RELIANCE; WAIVERS; ETC. 
7.1.    Reliance.  Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the ABL Agent, on behalf the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the other ABL Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Term Agents, or any Term Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into ABL Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the ABL Loan Documents or this Agreement.  Each Term Agent, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the other Term Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the ABL Agent, or any other ABL Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the other Term Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement, and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Term Documents or this Agreement.
7.2.    No Warranties or Liability.  The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that none of the Term Agents and the Term Claimholders have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the other Term Documents, the ownership by any 

-37-
        

Grantor of any Collateral or the perfection of any Liens thereon.

Each Term Agent, on behalf of the applicable Term Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that none of the ABL Agent and the ABL Claimholders have made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the other ABL Loan Documents, the ownership by any Grantor of any Collateral or the perfection of any Liens thereon.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement (i) the Term Agents and the Term Claimholders shall have no duty to the ABL Agent or any of the ABL Claimholders and (ii) the ABL Agent and the other ABL Claimholders shall have no duty to the Term Agents or any of the other Term Claimholders, in each case, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Grantor (including the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.
7.3.    No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
(a)    No right of the Agents or the other Claimholders to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any ABL Loan Document or Term Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Grantor or by any act or failure to act by such Agents or Claimholders or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the ABL Loan Documents or any of the Term Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agents or the ABL Claimholders or the Term Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
(b)    Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Grantors under the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Documents and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), the Agents and the other Claimholders may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, any other Agent or any other Claimholder (as applicable), without incurring any liabilities to such Persons and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:
(i)    change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the Obligations or any Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of any Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the Obligations, without any restriction as to the tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the Agents or any rights or remedies under any of the ABL Loan Documents or the Term Documents;
(ii)    sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral (except to the extent provided in this 

-38-
        

Agreement) or any liability of any Grantor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;
(iii)    settle or compromise any Obligation or any other liability of any Grantor or any security therefore or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability in any manner or order that is not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and
(iv)    exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any security or any Grantor or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with any Grantor.
7.4.    Obligations Unconditional.  All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Loan Documents or any Term Documents;
(b)    except, in each case, as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or Term Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any ABL Loan Document or Term Document;
(c)    except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the ABL Obligations or Term Obligations or any guaranty thereof;
(d)    the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any Grantor; or
(e)    any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the any Agent or Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.
VIII.      MISCELLANEOUS
8.1.    Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any ABL Loan Document or Term Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
8.2.    Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability.  This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto (it being understood that this Agreement shall become effective among the Grantors, the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by the ABL Agent, the Term Agent and the Grantors party hereto on the date hereof).  This is a continuing agreement of Lien subordination (as opposed to an agreement of debt or claim subordination), and the ABL Claimholders and the Term Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to any other Agent or Claimholder, to extend credit and other 

-39-
        

financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of any Grantor in reliance hereon.  Each of the Agents, on behalf of the applicable Claimholders, as applicable, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right any Claimholder may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the Agents, on behalf of the applicable Claimholders irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Bankruptcy Law.  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.  All references to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Grantor (as applicable) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect subject to the rights provided to Prior Lien Claimholders under Section 5.5 and Section 6.4:
(a)    with respect to the ABL Agent, the ABL Claimholders and the ABL Obligations, the date on which the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and
(b)    with respect to each Term Agent, the Term Claimholders and the Term Obligations, the date on which the Discharge of Term Obligations with respect to the applicable series of Term Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.3.    Amendments; Waivers.  Except as provided in the following sentence, no amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected and (ii) any Additional Pari Passu Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Claimholders under any Additional Pari Passu Term Agreement, may become a party to this Agreement, without any further action by any other party hereto, upon execution and delivery by the Company and such Agent of a properly completed Additional Joinder Agreement to each Agent.
8.4.    Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Company and Its Subsidiaries.  Each Agent and Claimholder shall be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Grantors and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations.  No Claimholder shall have any duty to advise any other Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise.  In the event any Agent or other Claimholder undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any of the other Claimholders, it or they shall be under no obligation, (i) to make, and shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) to undertake any investigation, or (iv) to disclose any information, which pursuant to accepted or reasonable 

-40-
        

commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.
8.5.    Subrogation.  With respect to the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders actually pay over to the Prior Lien Agent or the Prior Lien Claimholders under the terms of this Agreement, the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall be subrogated to the rights of such Prior Lien Claimholders; provided, however, that each Subordinated Lien Agent, on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Prior Lien Obligations has occurred.  The Grantors acknowledge and agree that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the Prior Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Subordinated Lien Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5, none of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall have any claim against any of the Prior Lien Claimholders for any impairment of any subrogation rights herein granted to the Subordinated Lien Claimholders.
8.6.    SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVERS.
(a)    ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK.  BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH AGENT, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE TERM LENDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE TERM AGENT) AND THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (IN THE CASE OF THE ABL AGENT) IRREVOCABLY:
(1)    AGREES THAT THE ONLY NECESSARY PARTIES TO ANY AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE THE PARTIES HERETO, EXCEPT WHERE IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING RELIEF (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF OR THE RECOVERY OF MONEY) IS BEING SOUGHT DIRECTLY AGAINST OR FROM A PERSON THAT IS NOT A PARTY AND EXCEPT THAT, IN ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS AMONG ANY TERM AGENT OR ABL AGENT THAT DOES NOT SEEK ANY RELIEF AGAINST OR FROM ANY GRANTOR, THE GRANTORS SHALL NOT BE NECESSARY PARTIES.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, AND CONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 8.14 AND 8.17, NONE OF THE ABL CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE ABL AGENT) OR THE TERM CLAIMHOLDERS (OTHER THAN THE TERM AGENTS) SHALL BE NECESSARY OR OTHERWISE APPROPRIATE PARTIES TO ANY SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS, UNLESS IN SUCH JUDICIAL PROCEEDING SUMS ARE BEING SOUGHT TO BE RECOVERED DIRECTLY FROM SUCH PERSONS, INCLUDING PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.2 OR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT ARE SEEKING TO BE ENFORCED DIRECTLY AGAINST SUCH PERSONS.
(2)    ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS;
(3)    WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS;

-41-
        

(4)    AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PERSON (AND IN THE CASE OF A PARTY, AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.7); AND
(5)    AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (4) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PERSON IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT.
(b)    WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TERM DOCUMENTS.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ABL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERM DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.6.
8.7.    Notices.
