LIEN PRIORITY

     Section 2.01 Agreement to Subordinate. Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner
or order of grant, attachment, or perfection of any Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, the
Trustee, or the Noteholders in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral or of any Liens
granted to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender in respect of all or any portion of the
Collateral, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument for
perfecting the Liens in favor of Senior Agent (or any

7

 

Senior Lender) or the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee or any Noteholder) in any Collateral or
any provision of the applicable UCC, any other applicable law, the Indenture Agreements, the Senior
Credit Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever, each of (i) the Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders and (ii) the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Senior Lenders, hereby agrees that:

          (a) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or
on behalf of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder that secures all or any portion
of the Indenture Secured Obligations, shall in all respects be junior and subordinate to all
Liens granted to the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders in the Collateral to secure all or any
portion of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations up to (but not in excess of) the Maximum
Priority Debt Amount;

          (b) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or
on behalf of the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender that secures all or any portion of the Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations in excess of the Maximum Priority Debt Amount, shall in all
respects be junior and subordinate to all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or
any Noteholder in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Indenture Secured
Obligations;

          (c) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or
on behalf of the Senior Agent (or any Senior Lender) that secures all or any portion of the
Credit Agreement Secured Obligations up to (but not in excess of) the Maximum Priority Debt
Amount, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens granted to the Collateral Agent
(or the Trustee or any Noteholder) in the Collateral to secure all or any portion of the
Indenture Secured Obligations; and

          (d) any Lien in respect of all or any portion of the Collateral now or hereafter held by or
on behalf of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder that secures all or any portion
of the Indenture Secured Obligations, shall in all respects be senior and prior to all Liens
granted to the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders in the Collateral to secure all or any portion
of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations in excess of the Maximum Priority Debt Amount.

The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, acknowledges
and agrees that, concurrently herewith, the Senior Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Senior
Lenders, has been granted Liens upon all of the Collateral in which the Collateral Agent has been
granted Liens and the Collateral Agent hereby consents thereto. The Senior Agent acknowledges and
agrees that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, has
been granted Liens upon all of the Collateral and the Senior Agent hereby consents thereto. The
subordination of Liens (up to the Maximum Priority Debt Amount) by the Collateral Agent, on behalf
of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders in favor of the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders
herein shall not be deemed to subordinate the Collateral Agent’s Liens to the Liens of any other
Person. The subordination of Liens (in excess of the Maximum Priority Debt Amount) in favor of the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders herein shall not be
deemed to subordinate the Senior Agent’s Liens to the Liens of any other Person.

     Section 2.02 Waiver of Right to Contest Liens. The Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf
of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders, that it and they shall not (and hereby waives, on
behalf of itself the Trustee and the Noteholders any right to) take any action to contest or
challenge (or assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or
indirectly, whether or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the
validity, priority, enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the Senior Agent in respect of
the Collateral. The Collateral Agent, for itself, the Trustee, and on behalf of the Noteholders,
agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee will take any action that would hinder any
exercise of remedies undertaken by the Senior Agent under the Senior Credit

8

 

Documents, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or other
disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. The Collateral Agent, for
itself, the Trustee, and on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby waives any and all rights it, the
Trustee, or the Noteholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to contest, protest,
object to, interfere with the manner in which the Senior Agent seeks to enforce the Liens in any
portion of the Collateral (it being understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall
govern with respect to the Collateral even if any portion of the Liens securing the Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations are avoided, disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any
judicial proceeding or otherwise). The Senior Agent, for itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees
that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to contest or challenge (or
assist or support any other Person in contesting or challenging), directly or indirectly, whether
or not in any proceeding (including in any Insolvency Proceeding), the validity, priority,
enforceability, or perfection of the Liens of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral.
Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent,
on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, agrees that it will not take any action that would
hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder
under the Indenture Agreements, including any public or private sale, lease, exchange, transfer, or
other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. Following the Discharge
of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and
the Senior Lenders, hereby waives any and all rights it may have as a junior lien creditor or
otherwise to contest, protest, object to, interfere with the manner in which the Collateral Agent,
the Trustee or any Noteholder seeks to enforce the Liens in any portion of the Collateral (it being
understood and agreed that the terms of this Agreement shall govern with respect to the Collateral
even if any portion of the Liens securing the Indenture Secured Obligations are avoided,
disallowed, set aside, or otherwise invalidated in any judicial proceeding or otherwise).

     Section 2.03 Remedies Standstill. At any time after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, the Senior Agent may send a
Standstill Notice to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee,
and the Noteholders, agrees that from and after the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt of any
Standstill Notice, none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder may Exercise Any
Secured Creditor Remedies (other than its rights under Section 2.04(d)) unless and until (a) the
Senior Agent has expressly waived or acknowledged the cure of the applicable Event of Default in
writing or the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have
occurred, or (b) 120 days shall have elapsed from the date of the Collateral Agent’s receipt of
such Standstill Notice. From and after the earlier to occur of (i) the Collateral Agent’s receipt
of such waiver or cure notice, or (ii) the elapsing of such 120th day period, any of the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder may commence to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies
(subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including the immediately succeeding sentence,
Section 4.02 hereof and except with respect to any such Collateral as to which the Senior Agent is
diligently effecting the collection, foreclosure, sale or other realization upon or disposition
of). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE
TRUSTEE OR ANY NOTEHOLDER MAY EXERCISE ANY SECURED CREDITOR REMEDIES PRIOR TO THE DISCHARGE OF
FIRST PRIORITY CREDIT AGREEMENT SECURED OBLIGATIONS (X) WITH RESPECT TO ANY ITEM OF COLLATERAL SO
LONG AS SENIOR AGENT HAS COMMENCED AND IS DILIGENTLY PURSUING ITS EXERCISE OF SECURED CREDITOR
REMEDIES IN RESPECT OF SUCH ITEMS OF COLLATERAL, AND (Y) WITHOUT FIRST PROVIDING SENIOR AGENT AT
LEAST FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS’ PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE. The Senior Agent may only send three (3)
Standstill Notices following the date hereof (it being understood and agreed as clarification to
the foregoing that no more than three (3) Standstill Notices may be provided whether delivered
hereunder or under any corresponding provision of any other agreement similar hereto that may be
delivered pursuant to Section 7.17 hereof) and no more than one (1) Standstill Notice may be given
by the Senior Agent in any consecutive 365-day period. The time period during which the Collateral
Agent is not permitted to

9

 

Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under this section is referred to herein as the
“Standstill Period”.

     Section 2.04 Exercise of Rights.

          (a) No Other Restrictions. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each of
the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Noteholders, the Senior Agent and the Senior Lenders shall
have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a creditor under applicable law, including
the rights to exercise all rights and remedies in foreclosure or otherwise with respect to any of
the Collateral; provided, however, that any such exercise by the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders, and any collection or sale of all or any portion of the
Collateral by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Noteholders, shall be subject to the Liens
of the Senior Agent on the Collateral to the extent provided in Section 2.01 and to the
provisions of this Agreement including Section 4.02 hereof. In exercising rights and remedies
with respect to the Collateral, the Senior Agent may enforce the provisions of the Senior Credit
Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may
determine in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the
sale, lease, license, or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral by private or
public sale or any other means permissible under applicable law or any agreement;
provided, that the Senior Agent agrees to provide copies of any notices that it is
required under applicable law to deliver to Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to the
Collateral Agent; provided further, that the failure to provide any such copies
to the Collateral Agent shall not impair any of the Senior Agent’s rights hereunder. In
exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may enforce
the provisions of the Indenture Agreements and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order
and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such exercise and
enforcement shall include the sale, lease, license, or other disposition of all or any portion of
the Collateral by private or public sale or any other means permissible under applicable law or
any agreement; provided, that the Collateral Agent agrees to provide copies of any
notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to Parent, any Borrower or any
Guarantor to the Senior Agent until the Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations
has occurred; provided further, that the failure to provide any such copies to
the Senior Agent shall not impair any of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder.

          (b) Release of Liens.

          (i) In the event of any such private or public sale by the Senior Agent or its
designee, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the
Noteholders, that, until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations has occurred, such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the
Indenture Secured Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity
Interests in any Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity
Interests are sold from all Indenture Secured Obligations so long as the Senior Agent and
the Senior Lenders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Collateral Agent agrees that it
will execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Senior
Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition
of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (ii) If and to the extent that the Senior Agent or its designee releases any of its
Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, until the
Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Liens, if
any, of the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Noteholders, on such

10

 

Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the
Collateral Agent, for itself and for each of the Trustee and the Noteholders, promptly shall
execute and deliver to the Senior Agent such termination statements, releases and other
documents as the Senior Agent may request to effectively confirm such release in respect of
such payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Collateral Agent to
release its Lien on such Collateral shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer
or other disposition of the Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of
remedies or is permitted by (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a
transaction otherwise prohibited by) the Senior Credit Documents and the terms hereof.

          (iii) In the event of any private or public sale by the Collateral Agent permitted by
the terms of this Agreement following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement
Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders,
that such sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations and, if the sale or other disposition includes the Equity Interests in any
Borrower or any Guarantor, agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold
from all Credit Agreement Secured Obligations so long as the Collateral Agent, the Trustee
and the Noteholders also release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all
Indenture Secured Obligations. In furtherance thereof, the Senior Agent agrees that it will
execute any and all Lien releases or other documents reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent in connection therewith, so long as the proceeds from such sale or other disposition
of the Collateral are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (iv) If and to the extent that the Collateral Agent or its designee releases any of its
Liens on any Collateral in connection with the sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other
disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement following the
Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the Liens, if any, of the
Senior Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Senior Lenders, on such Collateral shall
be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Senior Agent, for
itself and for the Senior Lenders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Collateral Agent may
request to effectively confirm such release in respect of such payments. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the obligation of the Senior Agent to release its Lien on such Collateral
shall arise only if such sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the
Collateral is effected in connection with an exercise of remedies or is permitted by (or
permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by) the
Indenture Agreements and the terms hereof.

          (c) Except as provided in Section 3.01, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the
Noteholders may exercise, and nothing herein shall constitute a waiver of, any right it may have
at law or equity to receive notice of, or to commence or join with any creditor in commencing any
Insolvency Proceeding or to join or participate in, any action or proceeding or other activity
described in Section 3.01; provided, however, that exercise of any such right by
the Collateral Agent shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the obligation to turn over Collateral and Proceeds to the Senior Agent for application
to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as provided in Section 4.02.

          (d) The Collateral Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the
Indenture Secured Obligations as may be necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims
under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders or rules of procedure
(including, without limitation, the filing of any proofs of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding),
but except as provided in this Section 2.04 or otherwise in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent
shall not take any

11

 

actions restricted by this Agreement until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement
Secured Obligations shall have occurred.

          (e) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the
other provisions of this Section 2.04 shall apply to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of
itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders as if it were the Senior Agent and the Senior Agent was
the Collateral Agent, mutatis mutandis.

     Section 2.05 Insurance. The parties acknowledge that at the time of execution of this
Agreement the Senior Agent shall be named as loss payee and/or mortgagee under all insurance
policies of Parent, the Borrowers and the Guarantors insuring the Collateral. The parties agree
that following the execution of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent may seek to be named as
subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee on all such insurance policies;
provided that until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations
has occurred (i) all such certificates and endorsements to such insurance policies that name the
Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgage shall include a legend or statement indicating that (x)
the rights of the Collateral Agent to receive amounts payable under such policies are subordinate
and junior to the rights of the Senior Agent to the extent set forth herein and (y) the Senior
Agent shall have the exclusive right to the extent set forth herein to provide instructions to each
insurer under each such policy, and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall, or shall cause the Borrowers
to, provide the Senior Agent with copies of all such certificates and endorsements to such
insurance policies that name the Collateral Agent as loss payee or mortgagee. Until such time as
the Collateral Agent shall have obtained certificates and endorsements to all such insurance
policies that name the Collateral Agent as subordinate loss payee and/or subordinate mortgagee, the
Senior Agent agrees that the designation of the Senior Agent as loss payee and/or mortgagee on all
such policies shall be as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations
and the Indenture Secured Obligations. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement
Secured Obligations has occurred, subject to the terms of the Senior Credit Documents, the Senior
Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement for any insurance policy
covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any
condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral.
Unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred,
and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award
(or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) with respect to the Collateral
shall be paid to the Senior Agent and shall be disbursed by the Senior Agent as follows:
first, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan
Documents or unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, to Parent, Borrowers and Guarantors;
second, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan
Documents or if otherwise required by the Loan Documents, in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.02(c) of this Agreement; and third, to the extent no Indenture Secured
Obligations or Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject
property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has
occurred, if the Collateral Agent or any holder of Indenture Secured Obligations shall, at any
time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in
contravention of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or such holder of Indenture Secured
Obligations shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the Senior
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     Section 2.06 Collateral Access Agreements.

          (a) The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that any
collateral access agreement, landlord waiver or other similar agreement (any such access
agreement, waiver or other agreement, a “Collateral Access Agreement”) by and among the
Senior

12

 

Agent, the Collateral Agent, Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor and any landlord or
warehouse operator where any Collateral is stored or located or any other bailee, consignee
or other similar Person in possession of any Collateral (any such bailee, consignee or other
Person, a “Bailee”), shall be for the benefit of both (x) the Senior Agent and the Senior
Lenders, and (y) the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders. Unless and until the
Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has occurred, the Senior Agent
(as agent for both the holders of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and the holders of the
Indenture Secured Obligations) shall have the sole and exclusive right to contact, provide
instructions, and deliver notices to, all landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, to exercise
rights under Collateral Access Agreements, and to take possession of any Collateral in the
possession of any landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee. Following the Discharge of First
Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, at the request of the Collateral Agent, the Senior
Agent shall (i) assign to the Collateral Agent all rights of the Senior Agent under all
Collateral Access Agreements and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to notify all
landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees that the Senior Agent has assigned its rights to the
Collateral Agent and that such landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees shall follow all
notices and instructions provided by the Collateral Agent with respect to any and all Collateral
in their possession (a “Notice of Assignment”).

          (b) Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations
and until such time as the Collateral Agent shall have either (i) received an acknowledgement
from the landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees party to Collateral Access Agreements of
receipt of a Notice of Assignment or (ii) entered into new Collateral Access Agreements with all
applicable landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees, the Senior Agent agrees to continue to act
as the agent for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Noteholders, and to follow all
instructions provided to the Senior Agent by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral
in the possession of landlords, warehouse operators and Bailees; provided that, the Senior Agent
shall not be obligated to take any action that is, in its reasonable opinion, contrary to any
applicable law, rule or regulation, the terms of this Agreement or the terms of any Loan
Document. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the
Collateral Agent (to the extent that the Collateral Agent, in turn, is entitled to enforce a
right of reimbursement or indemnification against the Parent, Borrower or Guarantors pursuant to
any of the Indenture Agreements), for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Noteholders,
agrees to indemnify Senior Agent and its officers, directors, agents and employees for and
against all claims, liabilities, and expenses arising out of any action taken by Senior Agent
with respect to Collateral in the possession of a landlord, warehouse operator or Bailee at the
request or in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Agent, except to the extent the
claims, liabilities, or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Senior Agent or
its officers, directors, agents or employees.

ARTICLE III.

kind for the Senior Agent, any Senior Lender or any other Person. In the event that (a) any of the

of this Agreement. Concurrently with any exercise by the Senior Agent of any of its rights and
remedies under the Senior Credit Documents following the occurrence of any default under the Senior
Credit Documents, the Senior Agent shall give notice of such exercise to the Collateral Agent and
shall only exercise such rights or remedies in a manner consistent with the terms of this
Agreement.

     Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds.

          (a) Revolving Nature of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. As long as the Senior
Agent is not exercising any of its remedies as a secured creditor under the Senior Credit
Documents and including during any Standstill Period, the Senior Agent may apply any and all of
the proceeds of the Collateral consisting of accounts receivable, other rights to payment or Cash
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Credit Documents, subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 3.02 and 4.02 hereof. The Collateral Agent, for
and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, expressly acknowledges and agrees that
(a) any such application of the proceeds of accounts receivable, other rights to payment or Cash
Collateral or the release of any Lien by the Senior Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in
connection with any sale or other disposition of assets by the Borrowers or the Guarantors that
is permitted under the terms of the Senior Credit Documents shall not be considered to be the
exercise of remedies under this Agreement; and (b) all Proceeds of Cash Collateral received by
the Senior Agent in connection therewith may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited or
reborrowed, in whole or in part, as Credit Agreement Secured Obligations without reducing the
Maximum Priority Debt Amount. The Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
the Noteholders, further acknowledges that the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations are revolving
in nature and that the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time
may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time (subject to
Section 5.02(a)), and that the aggregate amount of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations may
be increased, replaced or refinanced from time to time, subject to the Maximum Priority Debt
Amount. The lien priorities provided in this Agreement shall not be altered or otherwise
affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase,
replacement, renewal, restatement or refinancing of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.

          (b) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Payment. Upon the Discharge in Full of Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations, the Senior Agent shall deliver to the Collateral Agent or execute
such documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to cause the Collateral Agent to
have control over any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in the Senior Agent’s or its
designee’s possession, custody or control in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the
Collateral Agent to the Indenture Secured Obligations. Proceeds of any exercise by the Senior
Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, of any of their respective secured creditor rights
or remedies under any of the Loan Documents, under applicable law, or otherwise with respect to
any Collateral or Proceeds, shall be applied as provided in Section 4.02(c) below.

          (c) Application of Proceeds. The Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent hereby agree
that all Collateral and all Proceeds received by either of them upon the Exercise Of Secured
Creditor Remedies shall be applied as follows:

          first, to the payment of costs and expenses of the Senior Agent or the Collateral
Agent, as applicable, in connection with such exercise;

15

 

          second, to the payment of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations up to (but not in
excess of) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount;

          third, to the payment of the Indenture Secured Obligations; and

          fourth, to the payment of any Excess Credit Agreement Secured Obligations.

In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the Senior Agent shall have no
obligation or liability to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or to any Noteholder and the
Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender
regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission save and except solely an
action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms
of this Agreement.

     Section 4.03 Specific Performance. Each of the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent
is hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not Parent, any
Borrower or any Guarantor shall have complied with any of the provisions of any of the Loan
Documents, at any time when the other shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of
this Agreement applicable to it; provided, however, the remedy of specific
performance shall not be available, and the asserting party shall be free to assert any and all
legal defenses it may possess, if such remedy would result in, or otherwise constitute, a violation
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Each of the Senior Agent and
the Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at
law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

ARTICLE V.

INTERCREDITOR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND WAIVERS

     Section 5.01 Notice of Acceptance and Other Waivers.

          (a) All Credit Agreement Secured Obligations at any time made or incurred by Parent, any
Borrower or any Guarantor shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this
Agreement, and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders,
hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance, or proof of reliance, by the Senior Agent of this
Agreement, and (ii) notice of the existence, renewal, extension, accrual, creation, or
non-payment of all or any part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. Neither the Senior
Agent, nor any Senior Lender, nor any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect, or realize upon any of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so (other than in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Senior Agent or such Senior Lender, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction) or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any
Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part
thereof. If the Senior Agent honors (or fails to honor) a request by a Borrower for an extension
of credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents, whether the
Senior Agent has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would
constitute a default under the terms of the Indenture or any Indenture Agreement or an act,
condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default, or if the Senior Agent otherwise should exercise any of its
contractual rights or remedies under the Senior Credit Documents (subject to the express terms
and conditions hereof), the Senior Agent shall not have any liability whatsoever to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder as a result of such action, omission, or exercise
(so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this
Agreement). The Senior Agent will be entitled to manage and supervise its loans and

16

 

extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement and other Senior Credit Documents as the
Senior Agent may, in its sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the Senior Agent may manage its
loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders have in the Collateral or otherwise except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent shall not incur any liability as a
result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof,
pursuant to the Senior Credit Documents conducted in accordance with mandatory provisions of
applicable law.

          (b) None of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders nor any of their
affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand,
collect, or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any
obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral or to take any other action whatsoever
with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof, except as specifically provided in this
Agreement. If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders should exercise any
of their contractual rights or remedies under the Indenture Agreements (subject to the express
terms and conditions hereof), none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any of the
Noteholders shall have any liability whatsoever to the Senior Agent as a result of such action,
omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and
provisions of this Agreement). The Collateral Agent, the Trustee, and the Noteholders will be
entitled to manage and supervise the Indenture Agreements as they may, in their sole discretion,
deem appropriate, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03, the Senior
Agent agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or the Noteholders shall incur any
liability as a result of a sale, lease, license, or other disposition of the Collateral, or any
part thereof, pursuant to the Indenture Agreements conducted in accordance with mandatory
provisions of applicable law.

     Section 5.02 Modifications to Senior Credit Documents and Indenture Agreements.

          (a) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby
agrees that, without affecting the obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the
Noteholders hereunder, the Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, may, at any
time and from time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder (except to the extent such notice or consent is
required pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement), and without incurring any
liability to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder or impairing or releasing the
subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend,
consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit
Documents (except as otherwise provided herein) in any manner whatsoever, including, to

          (i) change the manner, place, time, or terms of payment or renew or alter, all or any
of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or otherwise amend, restate, supplement, or
otherwise modify in any manner, or grant any waiver or release with respect to, all or any
part of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations or any of the Senior Credit Documents,

          (ii) retain or obtain a Lien on any property of any Person to secure any of the Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations, and in that connection to enter into any additional Senior
Credit Documents,

          (iii) amend, or grant any waiver, compromise or release with respect to, or consent to
any departure from, any guaranty or other obligations of any Person obligated in any manner
under or in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations,

17

 

          (iv) release its Lien on any Collateral or other property,

          (v) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against Parent, any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person,

          (vi) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any other Person with
respect to any of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, and

          (vii) otherwise manage and supervise the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as the
Senior Agent shall deem appropriate;

provided, however, that unless the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Noteholders agrees in advance in writing, no such amendment, restatement,
supplement, replacement, refinancing, extension, consolidation, restructuring, or other
modification of the Credit Agreement or any of the Senior Credit Documents shall:

          (A) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation on
the making of (x) scheduled payments of interest (including default interest, if applicable)
in respect of the Indenture Secured Obligations as required under the Indenture Agreements
or (y) indemnification payments provided for under the Indenture Agreements, in each case
that are more restrictive to Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors than those set forth in
the Senior Credit Documents (as in effect on the date hereof);

          (B) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or impose any limitation or restriction
as contemplated by Section 5.02(d) below

          (b) The Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, hereby agrees that
Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders may, at any time and from
time to time, in its sole discretion without the consent of or notice to the Senior Agent (except
to the extent any such notice or consent is required pursuant to the express provisions of this
Agreement), and without incurring any liability to the Senior Agent or impairing or releasing the
subordination provided for herein, amend, restate, supplement, replace, refinance, extend,
consolidate, restructure, or otherwise modify the Indenture Agreements in any manner whatsoever,
provided, however, that unless the Senior Agent otherwise agrees in advance in
writing, no such amendment, restatement, supplement, replacement, refinancing, extension,
consolidation, restructuring, or other modification of the Indenture Agreements shall:

          (i) provide for the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder to obtain a Lien on
any assets of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor not constituting Collateral unless (A)
the Senior Agent also obtains a Lien on such assets either before or at the same time as the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or such Noteholder or (B) the Senior Agent declines in a
writing to Collateral Agent to obtain a Lien on such assets;

          (ii) subject Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to any prohibition or limitation
on the making of any payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts in respect of
the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations as and when the same shall be due under the Senior
Credit Documents;

          (iii) change (to earlier dates) any dates upon which payments of principal shall be due
under the Indenture Agreements; or

18

 

          (iv) contravene the provisions of this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 5.02 shall not be
construed to constitute a waiver by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder of any
provision of the Indenture.

          (d) To the extent the Senior Agent obtains a Lien on any assets of Parent, any Borrower or
any Guarantor not constituting Collateral, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict
the right of the Collateral Agent to seek a Lien on such assets on the same basis as the Lien
Priority.

     Section 5.03 Reinstatement and Continuation of Agreement.

          (a) If the Senior Agent is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over
or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person any
amount (a “Recovery”), then the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall be reinstated
to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such
Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the
parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and
obligations of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, the Senior Agent, the Senior Lenders, and the
Noteholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue
irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of
any Insolvency Proceeding by or against Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other
circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of Parent,
any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations. No
priority or right of the Senior Agent shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by
any act or failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the
noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the
Indenture or any of the other Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the
Senior Agent may have.

          (b) If the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder is required in any Insolvency
Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of Parent, any Borrower, any
Guarantor or any other Person a Recovery, then the Indenture Secured Obligations shall be
reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. No priority or right of the Collateral Agent, the
Trustee, or any Noteholder shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or
failure to act on the part of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by
any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any
of the other Indenture Agreements, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder may have.

     Section 5.04 New Credit Facility. If at any time Parent, any Borrower or any
Subsidiaries of Parent or any Borrower enters into a New Credit Facility in connection with a
Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under the Original Credit Agreement, this
Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and any prior termination thereof, if any,
as a result of a prior Discharge in Full of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, shall not
diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto
(including the lender providing the New Credit Facility) from such date of reinstatement;
provided that in connection with any New Credit Facility, the Company and the lender
providing such New Credit Facility or its designee shall execute and deliver to the Collateral
Agent an acknowledgment, in substantially the form of Annex A. It is hereby agreed that the
entering into of

19

 

any new Credit Agreement would not constitute an amendment, modification or supplement to any
of the Indenture Agreements.

ARTICLE VI.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

     Section 6.01 DIP Financing. If Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject
to any Insolvency Proceeding and the Senior Agent shall desire, prior to the Discharge of First
Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit
Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title
11 of the United States Code or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency
Proceeding (“DIP Financing”) to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral, then
the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that it will
raise no objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate
protection or any other relief in connection with its or their interest in any such Collateral
except to the extent specified in this Section 6.01. To the extent the Liens securing the Credit
Agreement Secured Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the
Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, hereby agrees that
the Collateral Agent’s Liens in the Collateral shall be subordinated to such DIP Financing (and all
obligations relating thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United
States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent) upon the terms and conditions specified in this
Agreement. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations has
occurred, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that
none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency
Proceeding in respect of the Collateral and will not provide or offer to provide any DIP Financing
secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations, in each case unless the Senior Agent otherwise has provided its express written
consent.

     Section 6.02 No Contest. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and
the Noteholders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by
the Senior Agent for adequate protection, or (b) any objection by the Senior Agent to any motion,
relief, action, or proceeding based on Senior Agent claiming that their interests in the Collateral
are not adequately protected or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency
Proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if the Senior Agent is
granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP
Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of Title 11 of the United
States Code or any similar law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the Collateral Agent,
on behalf of itself, the Trustee, or any of the Noteholders, may seek or request adequate
protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien hereby is and shall be
deemed to be subordinated to the Liens securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations on the
same basis as the Lien Priority up to (but not in excess of) the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority
Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto and any
“carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the
Senior Agent). In the event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the
Noteholders, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the
form of Liens in respect of additional collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself,
the Trustee, and each of the Noteholders, agrees that the Senior Agent also shall be granted a
senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations
(and for any such DIP Financing) and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the
Indenture Secured Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens in respect of such additional
collateral securing the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations and any such DIP Financing and any
other Liens granted to the Senior Agent as

20

 

adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Indenture Secured
Obligations are subordinated to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations under this Agreement up to
the sum of (i) the Maximum Priority Debt Amount and (ii) the amount of such DIP Financing (and all
obligations related thereto and any “carve-out” for professional fees and expenses and United
States Trustee fees agreed to by the Senior Agent). Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in
any way limit the Senior Agent, prior to the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations, from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any of the Noteholders, including the seeking by the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of adequate protection or the asserting by the Collateral
Agent, the Trustee or any Noteholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture
Agreements or otherwise.

     Section 6.03 Asset Sales. Until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement
Secured Obligations has occurred, the Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself, the Trustee,
and the Noteholders, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Senior Agent of
Collateral pursuant to Section 363 or 365 of Title 11 of the United States Code (or any similar
provision in any other applicable Bankruptcy Law) so long as (i) if the proceeds of such sale are
retained by the Senior Agent, the Senior Agent agrees to apply such proceeds in accordance with
this Agreement or (ii) if the Senior Agent agrees to permit any portion of such proceeds to be
retained by Parent, the Borrowers or the Guarantors to be used as cash collateral, the Parent, the
Borrowers or the Guarantors use such portion of such proceeds as cash collateral in accordance with
the agreement of the Senior Agent, subject to the rights of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and
the Noteholders to seek or request adequate protection in accordance with the provisions of Section
6.02.

     Section 6.04 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and
shall be enforceable under Section 510 of Title 11 of the United States Code. The Collateral
Agent, on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders, agrees that all distributions that
the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder receives in any Insolvency Proceeding on
account of the Collateral or Proceeds shall be held in trust by such Person and turned over to the
Senior Agent, on behalf of itself and the Senior Lenders, for application in accordance with
Section 4.02 of this Agreement. To the extent that any amounts received by the Collateral Agent,
the Trustee, or any Noteholder are paid over in connection with this provision, the obligations
owed by Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor to such Person will be deemed to be reinstated to the
extent of the amounts so paid over.

ARTICLE VII.

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 7.01 Rights of Subrogation. The Collateral Agent agrees that no payment or
distribution to the Senior Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any Noteholder to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect
thereof until the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations shall have
occurred. Following the Discharge of First Priority Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, the
Senior Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Collateral Agent,
the Trustee or any Noteholder may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any
such Person of an interest in the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations resulting from payments or
distributions to the Senior Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all
reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Senior Agent are
paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

     Section 7.02 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any
time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that either Party may reasonably
request, in order to

21

 

protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
Senior Agent or the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder;
provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or
distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this
Section 7.02 to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal
requirement, and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or
distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of
such payment or distribution under this Section 7.02.

     Section 7.03 Representations. The Original Senior Agent represents and warrants to
the Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Original Credit
Agreement to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of
itself and the Senior Lenders. The Collateral Agent represents and warrants that it has the
requisite power and authority under the Indenture to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out
the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself, the Trustee, and the Noteholders.

     Section 7.04 Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
nor consent to any departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written
agreement executed by the Collateral Agent and the Senior Agent, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of

shall have been paid in full, (ii) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns,
and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause
(iii), the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, or the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or any
Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations or the Indenture Secured Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person (other than
Parent, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Parent, any Borrower or any Guarantor), and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect
thereof granted to the Senior Agent or any Senior Lender, or the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, or
any Noteholder, as the case may be, herein or otherwise.

     Section 7.08 Information Concerning Financial Condition.

23

 

          (a) The Collateral Agent hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
financial condition of Parent, the Borrowers and Guarantors and of all other circumstances
bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Indenture Secured Obligations, and agrees that the
Senior Agent has and shall have no duty to advise the Collateral Agent of information known to
the Senior Agent regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the Senior
Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes, at any time or from time to time, to provide any such
information to the Collateral Agent, the Senior Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to provide
any such information to the Collateral Agent on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any
investigation, or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to its commercial finance
practices, the Senior Agent wishes to maintain confidential. The Collateral Agent acknowledges
and agrees that the Senior Agent has made no warranties or representations with respect to the
legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or perfection of the Credit Agreement Secured
Obligations or any liens or security interests held in connection therewith.

          (b) The Senior Agent hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the
