-3-    

Exhibit 10.3

8.    REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default which is continuing, Lender shall have the right to declare immediately due and payable all or any Indebtedness secured hereby and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise extend credit to Debtor. Lender shall have all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the New York Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise provided by law, including without limitation, the right (a) to contact all persons obligated to Debtor on any Collateral or Proceeds and to instruct such persons to deliver all Collateral and/or Proceeds directly to Lender, and (b) to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any or all Collateral. All rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative. No delay, failure or discontinuance of Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect or operate as a waiver of such right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude, waive or otherwise affect any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind by Lender of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent set forth in writing. It is agreed that public or private sales or other dispositions, for cash or on credit, to a wholesaler or retailer or investor, or user of property of the types subject to this Agreement, or public auctions, are all commercially reasonable since differences in the prices generally realized in the different kinds of dispositions are ordinarily offset by the differences in the costs and credit risks of such dispositions. While an Event of Default exists: (a) Debtor will deliver to Lender from time to time, as requested by Lender, current lists of all Collateral and Proceeds; (b) Debtor will not dispose of any Collateral or Proceeds except on terms approved by Lender; (c) at Lender’s request, Debtor will assemble and deliver all Collateral and Proceeds, and books and records pertaining thereto, to Lender at a reasonably convenient place designated by Lender; and (d) Lender may, without notice to Debtor, enter onto Debtor’s premises and take possession of the Collateral. With respect to any sale or other disposition by Lender of any Collateral subject to this Agreement, Debtor hereby expressly grants to Lender the right to sell such Collateral using any or all of Debtor’s trademarks, trade names, trade name rights and/or proprietary labels or marks. Debtor further agrees that Lender shall have no obligation to process or prepare any Collateral for sale or other disposition.
9.    DISPOSITION OF COLLATERAL AND PROCEEDS; TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. In disposing of Collateral hereunder, Lender may disclaim all warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like. Any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral or Proceeds, or any part thereof, may be applied by Lender to the payment of expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the balance of such proceeds may be applied by Lender toward the payment of the Indebtedness in such order of application as Lender may from time to time elect. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Indebtedness, Lender may transfer all or any part of the Collateral or Proceeds and shall be fully discharged thereafter from all liability and responsibility with respect to any of the foregoing so transferred, and the transferee shall be vested with all rights and powers of Lender hereunder with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral or Proceeds so transferred; but with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers, privileges and remedies herein given.

-4-    

Exhibit 10.3

10.    STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, the power of sale or other disposition and all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies granted to Lender hereunder shall continue to exist and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time irrespective of the fact that the Indebtedness or any part thereof may have become barred by any statute of limitations, or that the personal liability of Debtor may have ceased, unless such liability shall have ceased due to the payment in full of all Indebtedness secured hereunder.
11.    MISCELLANEOUS. When there is more than one Debtor named herein: (a) the word “Debtor” shall mean all or any one or more of them as the context requires; (b) the obligations of each Debtor hereunder are joint and several; and (c) until all Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, no Debtor shall have any right of subrogation or contribution, and each Debtor hereby waives any benefit of or right to participate in any of the Collateral or Proceeds or any other security now or hereafter held by Lender. Debtor hereby waives any right to require Lender to (i) proceed against Debtor or any other person, (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security from Debtor or any other person, (iii) perform any obligation of Debtor with respect to any Collateral or Proceeds, and (d) make any presentment or demand, or give any notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any Collateral or Proceeds. Debtor further waives any right to direct the application of payments or security for any Indebtedness of Debtor or indebtedness of customers of Debtor.
12.    NOTICES. All notices, requests and demands required under this Agreement must be in writing, addressed to Lender at the address specified in any other loan documents entered into between Debtor and Lender and to Debtor at the address of its chief executive office (or principal residence, if applicable) as set forth in the Note or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to each other party, and shall be deemed to have been given or made as follows: (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery; (b) if sent by mail, upon the earlier of the date of receipt or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class and postage prepaid; and (c) if sent by telecopy, upon receipt.
13.    COSTS, EXPENSES AND ATTORNEYS’ FEES. Debtor shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by Lender in connection with (a) the perfection and preservation of the Collateral or Lender’s interest therein, and (b) the realization, enforcement and exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred by this Agreement, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by Lender or any other person) relating to Debtor or in any way affecting any of the Collateral or Lender’s ability to exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto. All of the foregoing shall be paid by Debtor with interest from the date of demand until paid in full at a rate of interest set forth in the Note.
14.    SUCCESSORS; ASSIGNS; AMENDMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties, and may be amended or modified only in writing signed by Lender and Debtor.

16.    GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
17.    SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each and every term of this Agreement, the liens and security interest granted to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the rights and obligations of all parties hereunder, and evidenced hereby, are subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, dated November 16, 2015, by and among Turtle Beach, VTB, VTB Holdings, Turtle Beach Europe Limited, a company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales with company number 03819186, the Lender, Bank of America, N.A. and Crystal Financial LLC (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, otherwise in effect from time to time, the “Subordination Agreement”) and are subordinate to the Senior Debt (as such term is defined in the Subordination Agreement) pursuant to the Subordination Agreement.

and any Senior Secured Party may intervene and interpose such defense or plea in its name or in the name of the applicable Obligor or Obligors.  If any Junior Creditor, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, shall attempt to collect any of the Subordinated Debt or enforce any of the Subordinated Documents, then any Senior Secured Party or any Obligor may, by virtue of this Agreement, restrain the enforcement thereof in the name of the Senior Secured Parties or in the name of the Obligors.  If any Junior Creditor, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, obtains any cash or other assets (including, any Collateral) of any Obligor as a result of any administrative, legal or equitable actions, or otherwise, each Junior Creditor agrees that each Junior Creditor shall forthwith pay, deliver and assign to Senior Agent entitled thereto, with appropriate endorsements, any such cash for application to the applicable Senior Debt and any such other assets as Collateral for such Senior Debt.  Each Junior Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of any of the Senior Debt or any Senior Document.
6.    Bankruptcy, etc.  
6.1.    Payments relating to Subordinated Debt.  At any meeting of creditors of any Obligor or in the event of any case or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of all or part of the assets of an Obligor or the proceeds thereof, whether such case or proceeding be for the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of an Obligor or its business, a receivership, insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, an assignment for the benefit of creditors or a proceeding by or against an Obligor for relief under any Debtor Relief Law, the Senior Agents, on behalf of the respective Senior Secured Parties, are hereby irrevocably authorized at any such meeting or in any such proceeding to receive or collect any cash or other assets of the Obligors distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued on account of any Subordinated Debt, and apply such cash to or to hold such other assets or securities as Collateral for the Senior Debt, and to apply to the Senior Debt any cash proceeds of any realization upon such other assets or securities or other Collateral that the Senior Agents elect to effect, until the Full Payment of all of the Senior Debt, rendering to the Junior Creditors any surplus to which the Junior Creditors are then entitled.  Each Junior Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such amounts or assets to Senior Agents.  Each Junior Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers each Senior Agent, in the name of such Junior Creditor, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such amounts or assets.
6.2.    Proofs of Claim.  Each Junior Creditor agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt requested by any Senior Agent in connection with any such proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints each Senior Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, deliver and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of any Junior Creditor promptly to do so prior to ten (10) days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim (if the Junior Creditors have failed to file such proof of claim prior to such date) and (ii) vote such claim in any such proceeding upon the failure of the Junior Creditors to do so prior to five (5) days 

-6-

before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim; provided that no Senior Agent shall have any obligation to execute, verify, deliver, file and/or vote any such proof of claim.
6.3.    Subordinated Debt Voting Rights.  At any such meeting of creditors or in the event of any such case or proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor), each Junior Creditor shall retain the right to vote and otherwise act with respect to the Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation, the right to vote to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), provided that no Junior Creditor shall vote with respect to any such plan or take any other action in any way so as to contest (i) the validity of any Senior Debt or any Collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, (ii) the relative rights and duties of any holders of any Senior Debt established in any instruments or agreements creating or evidencing any of the Senior Debt with respect to any of such collateral or guaranties or (iii) each Junior Creditor’s obligations and agreements set forth in this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Junior Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of each Senior Agent (which consent may be given in each Senior Agent’s sole and absolute discretion), vote in support of any plan of reorganization in any such proceeding that does not provide for the Full Payment of the Senior Debt upon the confirmation of such plan of reorganization.
6.4.    Financing.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, each Junior Creditor confirms and agrees that (i) they have no right to compel or forestall action by any Senior Agent or any of the Senior Secured Parties in respect of any of the Collateral (any Senior Agents and Senior Secured Parties being free to exercise or not exercise all or any of their rights and remedies in their sole discretion); (ii) the Senior Agents and Senior Secured Parties have full authority to deal with the Collateral; (iii) they will not act in the manner so as to adversely affect the Collateral or make it burdensome for the Senior Agents or Senior Secured Parties to realize upon the Collateral; and (iv) if any Obligor shall be subject to an Insolvency Proceeding and the Senior Agents or the Senior Secured Parties desire to permit use of cash collateral by, or provide, or consent to another Person providing, financing to, the Obligors under either Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Junior Creditor agrees that (A) it will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, and will not support or encourage any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such financing, (B) it will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such financing (other than with each Senior Agent’s prior written consent), (C) it will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Liens under the Subordinated Documents (x) to financing on the same terms as the Liens under the Senior Documents are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (y) to any adequate protection provided to any Senior Secured Party and (z) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the Senior Agents, and (D) notice received at any time prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving on an interim basis such financing shall be adequate notice.  If the Senior Agents object to (or do not affirmatively consent to or support) the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to the provision of any financing under either Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy 

-7-

Code, each Junior Creditor agrees that it will not use, refer to or rely on its capacity as a Junior Creditor in any effort by such of the Obligors to seek the use of such cash collateral or such financing.
6.5.    No Objection By Junior Creditors.  Each Junior Creditor agrees that with respect to the Subordinated Debt, until the Full Payment of the Senior Debt, it shall not object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by any Senior Secured Party for adequate protection or any adequate protection provided to any Senior Secured Party or (ii) any objection by any Senior Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to any Senior Secured Party under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, including, without limitation, payment of any prepayment penalty or prepayment fee.  The Junior Creditors agree that none of them shall seek or accept adequate protection without the prior written consent of each Senior Agent, which consent may be given in each Senior Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.
6.6.    363 Sales of Collateral.  No Junior Creditor shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, prior to the Full Payment of the Senior Debt, oppose any sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Obligors that is supported by any of the Senior Secured Parties, and Junior Creditors will be deemed to have consented under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any sale supported by any of the Senior Secured Parties and to have released its Liens on such assets.
6.7.    Continuing Effectiveness in Insolvency.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Obligor.  All references herein to each Obligor shall be deemed to apply to a trustee for the estate of such Person and to such Person as a debtor-in-possession.  The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Lenders and Junior Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt (or the security interests securing the Senior Debt) are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding.
7.    Lien Subordination; Collateral Matters. 
7.1.    Subordination of Lien of Junior Creditors.  Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Lien of any Senior Secured Party on Collateral securing any Senior Debt or any Lien of any Junior Creditor on Collateral securing any Subordinated Debt and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any Applicable Law or any Senior Documents or Subordinated Documents, the Senior Agents, on behalf of each applicable Senior Secured Party, and each Junior Creditor hereby agrees that (i) the Liens in favor of the Senior Secured Parties securing the Senior Debt in respect of the Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be and shall remain senior and prior to any Liens in favor of the Junior Creditors securing the Subordinated Debt in respect of the Collateral, and (ii) 

-8-

any Liens in favor of the Junior Creditors securing the Subordinated Debt in respect of the Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the Liens in favor of the Senior Secured Parties securing the Senior Debt in respect of the Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that all proceeds of Collateral received by any Senior Agent, Senior Secured Party or any Junior Creditor shall be paid over to the Senior Agents and Senior Secured Parties for application to the Senior Debt until the Full Payment of all Senior Debt.  The foregoing shall apply regardless of the order of filing of any such liens (or the exercise of control over or possession of any Collateral) or perfection of any such security interests (or failure to make any such filing or perfect any such security interest), or the avoidance of any such security interest.  Notwithstanding any failure by any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party to perfect their security interests in any Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in any Collateral granted to any Senior Secured Party, the priority and rights as between the Senior Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the Junior Creditors, on the other hand, with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth herein.
7.2.    No Remedies With Respect to Collateral.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of any Subordinated Documents to the contrary, the Junior Creditors confirm and agree that (i) they have no right of possession or foreclosure on, or right to pursue any other rights or remedies with respect to, the Collateral until the Full Payment of all Senior Debt, and (ii) their only rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral or any proceeds therefrom are to receive any remaining net proceeds of foreclosure of Collateral to the extent of any excess after the Full Payment of all Senior Debt and the satisfaction of any other claims senior to the Subordinated Debt.  The Junior Creditors have no right to (x) direct any Senior Agent to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Documents or (y) consent or object to the exercise by any Senior Agent of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Collateral or pursuant to the Senior Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised.
7.3.    Waivers.  The Junior Creditors agree that they will not assert, and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert, or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisement, valuation or other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under Applicable Law or any other rights a junior creditor may have under Applicable Law in respect of the Collateral or any Liens in favor of the Senior Secured Parties securing the Senior Debt in respect of the Collateral.  Until the Full Payment of all the Senior Debt, the Junior Creditors waive (and hereby agree not to assert) (i) any right to request any adequate protection in respect of their liens, (ii) any right to object to any award of adequate protection to the Senior Creditors, and (iii) any right to seek relief from the automatic stay in any Insolvency Proceeding.  The Junior Creditors will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party or any other enforcement action taken (or any forbearance from 

-9-

taking any enforcement action) by or on behalf of any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party.
7.4.    Further Assurances.  Each Junior Creditor acknowledges and agrees, upon request of any Senior Agent at any time and from time to time, to execute such other documents or instruments as may be requested by such Senior Agent to further evidence of public record or otherwise the senior priority of the Liens on the Collateral securing the Senior Debt as contemplated hereby.
7.5.    Books and Records.  Each Junior Creditor hereby agrees to maintain on its books and records such notations as the Senior Agents may reasonably request to reflect the subordination contemplated hereby and to perfect or preserve the rights of the Senior Agents hereunder.  A copy of this Agreement may be filed as a financing statement in any UCC recording office.
7.6.    Release of Guaranties and Collateral.  Without limiting any of the rights of any Senior Agent under the applicable Senior Documents or Applicable Law, in the event that any Senior Agent releases or discharges any guaranties of the Senior Debt given by any Obligor which has also guarantied the Subordinated Debt or any Lien on Collateral securing the Senior Debt and also securing the Subordinated Debt, such Obligor or (as the case may be) such Collateral shall thereupon be deemed to have been, and hereby is automatically and unconditionally, released from all such guaranties or Liens in favor of the Junior Creditors.  Each Junior Creditor hereby authorizes each Senior Agent to file any necessary UCC termination statements (with respect to any UCC financing statements filed by any Junior Creditor) to reflect the termination or release of any Lien contemplated hereby and agrees that, within three (3) days following any Senior Agent’s written request therefor, each Junior Creditor will execute, deliver and file any and all such mortgage discharges, Lien releases and other agreements and instruments as such Senior Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to the preceding sentence.  Each Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints each Senior Agent, and its successors and assigns, and their respective officers, with full power of substitution, the true and lawful attorney(s) of each Junior Creditor for the purpose of effecting any such executions, deliveries and filings if and to the extent that any Junior Creditor shall have failed to perform such obligations pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6 within such three (3) day period.
7.7.    Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each Junior Creditor agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor), the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of any Liens in favor of any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party securing the Senior Debt in respect of the Collateral.  Notwithstanding any failure by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party to perfect their security interests in any Collateral or any avoidance, invalidation or subordination by any third party or court of competent jurisdiction of the security interests in any Collateral granted to such Senior Agent or such Senior Secured Party, the priority and rights as between such Senior Agent or such Senior Secured Party, on the one hand, and any Junior Creditor, on the other hand, with respect to the Collateral shall be as set forth herein.

-10-

7.8.    New Liens.  Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, each Obligor agrees not to grant any Lien on any of its assets, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to grant a Lien on any of its assets, in favor of any of any Junior Creditor unless, prior to or contemporaneously therewith, it, or such Subsidiary, has granted a similar Lien on such assets in favor of each Senior Agent and the other Senior Secured Parties.  To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, the Junior Creditors agree that (i) any amounts received by or distributed to any Junior Creditor pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 7.8 shall be subject to this Agreement such that proceeds thereof will be treated as proceeds of Collateral subject to Section 4 hereof and (ii) the Junior Creditors shall hold any such Collateral as agent or as bailee, as the case may be, for the each Senior Agent and the Senior Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting the Lien of the Senior Agents and the Senior Secured Parties thereon.  Each Obligor hereby agrees that, if, pursuant to the provisions of either the Senior Documents or the Subordinated Documents, an Obligor shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that is not an Obligor to become an Obligor, or if for any reason an Obligor desires any such Subsidiary to become an Obligor, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agents and the Junior Creditors a joinder (in form and substance satisfactory to the Senior Agents) and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as an Obligor hereto on the date first written above.
7.9.    Separate Liens.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens in respect of the Collateral pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents, the Term Loan Documents and the Subordinated Documents each constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Obligations and the Subordinated Debt in respect of the Collateral are fundamentally different from each other, and each of the ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Obligations and the Subordinated Debt in respect of the Collateral must be separately classified in any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that, in respect of the Collateral, the ABL Obligations, the Term Loan Obligations and the Subordinated Debt constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then all distributions from the Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Creditors), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest, fees, including, without limitation, in respect of any prepayment penalty or prepayment fee, and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest before any distribution is made from the Collateral in respect of the claims held by the Junior Creditors with respect to the Collateral, with the Junior Creditors hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Creditors).  Each Junior Creditor agrees that the Junior Creditors will not seek in any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Obligor to be treated 

-11-

as part of the same class of creditors as any Senior Secured Party and will not oppose or contest any pleading by any Senior Secured Party seeking separate classification of their respective secured claims. 
7.10.    Insurance Matters.  Until the Payment in Full of the Senior Debt, the Senior Agents will have the sole and exclusive right (i) to be named as loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any of the Loan Parties (except that the Junior Creditors shall have the right to be named as loss payee so long as its third lien status is identified in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Senior Agents, and Junior Creditors turn any proceeds of any insurance policy over to Senior Agents); (ii) to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering any Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (iii) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting any Collateral.
8.    Senior Secured Parties’ Freedom of Dealing.  Each Junior Creditor agrees with respect to the Senior Debt and any and all Collateral therefor or guaranties thereof, that any Obligor and any applicable Senior Agent or Senior Secured Party, may agree, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to any Junior Creditor, without incurring responsibility to any Junior Creditor, and without impairing or releasing, any of its rights, or any of the obligations of any Junior Creditor hereunder, to do any of the following:
(a)    change the amount, manner, place, or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of or increase, renew or alter the Senior Debt, or any part thereof, or enter into or amend in any manner any agreement (including any related loan agreement, promissory notes and collateral documents) relating to the Senior Debt; 
(b)    sell, exchange, release, or otherwise deal with all or any part of any property or asset by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Senior Debt, or any part thereof;
(c)    release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Senior Debt, or any part thereof; 
(d)    exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Obligor or any other Person; and
(e)    apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, in accordance with the Senior Documents.
Without limitation of the foregoing, each Junior Creditor, for itself and all other Junior Creditors that from time to time subsequently hold the Subordinated Debt, hereby waives any provision of the Subordinated Documents that restricts the incurrence or existence of the Senior Debt, limits any of the matters described in this Section 8, or otherwise conflicts with this Agreement or any provision of any Senior Document.
9.    Modification or Sale of the Subordinated Debt.  Each Junior Creditor agrees the no Junior Creditor will, at any time while this Agreement is in effect, modify any of the terms of 

-12-

any of the Subordinated Debt or any of the Subordinated Documents without the prior written consent of each Senior Agent (which consent may be given in each Senior Agent’s sole and absolute discretion); nor will any Junior Creditor sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Subordinated Debt to any Person, other than a Person who agrees in a writing, satisfactory in form and substance to each Senior Agent, to become a party hereto and to succeed to the rights and to be bound by all of the obligations of the Junior Creditors hereunder.  In the case of any such disposition by any Junior Creditor, such Junior Creditor will notify each Senior Agent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of any of such proposed disposition.  The subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any of the Subordinated Documents, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the each Junior Creditor, as provided in Section 15 hereof.
10.    Judicial Liens.  In the event that any Junior Creditor becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of any Collateral for any reason, such judgment lien shall be junior in priority, operation and effect to any and all Liens now existing or hereafter created or arising in favor of the Senior Agents and the other Senior Secured Parties securing the Senior Debt.
11.    Termination of Subordination.  This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and the obligations and agreements of the Junior Creditors and the Obligors hereunder shall continue to be fully operative, until the Full Payment of all of the Senior Debt.  To the extent that any Obligor makes any payment on the Senior Debt that is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization act, state or federal law, foreign law, common law or equitable cause (such payment being hereinafter referred to as a “Voided Payment”), then to the extent of such Voided Payment, that portion of the Senior Debt that had been previously satisfied by such Voided Payment shall be revived and continue in full force and effect as if such Voided Payment had never been made.  In the event that a Voided Payment is recovered from any Senior Secured Party, a Senior Default shall be deemed to have existed and to be continuing under the applicable Senior Documents from the date of such Senior Secured Party’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment until the full amount of such Voided Payment is restored to such Senior Secured Party.  During any continuance of any such Senior Default, this Agreement shall be in full force and effect with respect to the Subordinated Debt.  To the extent that any Junior Creditor has received any payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt subsequent to the date of a Senior Secured Party’s initial receipt of such Voided Payment and such payments have not been invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside or are required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, foreign law, common law or equitable cause, such Junior Creditor shall be obligated and hereby agrees that any such payment so made or received shall be deemed to have been received in trust for the benefit of the Senior Secured Parties, and the Junior Creditors shall pay to the Senior Secured Parties, upon demand, the full amount so received by such Junior Creditor during such period of time to the extent necessary fully to restore to the Senior Secured Parties the amount of such Voided Payment.  Upon the Full Payment of all of the Senior Debt, which payment shall be final and not avoidable, this Agreement will automatically terminate without any additional action by any party hereto.

15.    Miscellaneous.  
15.1.    This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  In proving this Agreement, it shall 

-15-

not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the party against which enforcement is sought.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or other electronic means (including, via electronic mail in .pdf format) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.  The Senior Agents may, in their sole and absolute discretion, waive any provisions of this Agreement benefiting the Senior Secured Parties; provided, however, that such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by each Senior Agent and shall be limited to the specific provision or provisions expressly so waived.  Any modification of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by each Senior Agent and the Junior Creditor, and then such modification or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and/or assigns of each Junior Creditor and each Obligor and shall inure to the benefit of each Senior Agent, the Senior Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, any lender or lenders refunding or refinancing any of the Senior Debt and their respective successors and assigns, but shall not otherwise create any rights or benefits for any third party.  
15.2.    The Senior Debt (or any portion of it) may be refinanced or replaced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the refinancing or replacement transaction under any Senior Document) of any other Senior Secured Party or any Junior Creditor, all without affecting the payment and Lien priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that the holders of any such refinancing or replacement Debt (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to such documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the ABL Agent and the Term Agent, as the case may be, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the ABL Agent and the Term Agent, as the case may be.  In connection with any refinancing or replacement contemplated by this Section 15.2 (and permitted under the Senior Documents), this Agreement may be amended at the request of the lenders and/or agent providing such refinancing or replacement Debt (at the sole expense of the Obligors), and without the consent of any Junior Creditor, (a) to add parties (or any authorized agent or trustee therefor) providing any such refinancing or replacement Debt, and (b) to establish that such Debt and Liens on any Collateral securing such refinancing or replacement Debt shall have the same priority as the Debt and Liens on any Collateral securing the Debt being refinanced or replaced, all on the terms provided for herein immediately prior to such refinancing or replacement.
15.3.    In addition, if in connection with the Full Payment of the ABL Obligations and/or the Term Loan Obligations the Obligors enter into any replacement of the ABL Obligations and/or the Term Loan Obligations secured by all or a portion of the Collateral, then such Full Payment of the ABL Obligations and/or the Term Loan Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, such 

-16-
