The provision of pari passu and equal priority as between Liens of any Junior Agent and Liens of any other Junior Agent, in each case as set forth herein, shall not be deemed to subordinate the Liens of any Junior Agent to the Liens of any Person other than the Senior Agents and the other Senior Secured Parties as and to the extent set forth herein, or to provide that the Liens of any Junior Agent will be pari passu or of equal priority with the Liens of any other Person.

From and after the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred (or prior thereto upon obtaining the written consent of the ABL Agent), the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies under the Term Documents or applicable law as to any ABL Priority Collateral; provided, however, that any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Collateral by the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties is at all times subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that from the date such Junior Agent becomes a party to this Agreement until the date upon which the Discharge of Senior Obligations shall have occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Credit Party, (i) neither such Junior Agent nor any Junior Secured Party represented thereby will (x) Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any Junior Shared Collateral, (y) contest, protest or object (or support any contest, protest or objection) to any Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies brought with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral or any other Senior Collateral by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations, including the exercise of any right by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Junior Shared Collateral under the ABL Documents or the Term Documents, as applicable, or otherwise in respect of the Senior Collateral or the Senior Obligations, or (z) object (or support any objection) to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Junior Shared Collateral in respect of Senior Obligations and (ii) the Senior Agents and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including clause (a) and (b) above) (including setoff and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral without any consultation with, notice to, or the consent of any Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party.

Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the Senior Secured Parties to sell or otherwise dispose of or deal with Junior Shared Collateral, including upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender, including under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.3(a), 2.3(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent any Agent or any Secured Party from (i) filing a claim or statement of interest with respect to the ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or the Junior Obligations owed to it in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Credit Party, (ii) taking any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens of the other Agent or other Secured Parties on the Collateral in which such other Agent or other Secured Party has a priority Lien or the rights of the other Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect (but not enforce) its Lien on any Collateral, (iii) filing any necessary or responsive pleadings in opposition to any motion, adversary proceeding or other pleading filed by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking disallowance of the claim or Lien of such Agent or Secured Party or (iv) voting on any plan of reorganization or file any proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding of any Credit Party, in each case (i) through (iv) above to the extent not inconsistent with the express terms of this Agreement. In the event any Junior Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Junior Shared Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Junior Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall impair or otherwise adversely affect any rights or remedies the Senior Agents or the Senior Secured Parties may have with respect to the Senior Collateral.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in Section 2.3(d), the sole right of the Junior Agents and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Junior Shared Collateral in respect of Junior Obligations pursuant to the applicable Junior Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

(f) Subject to Section 2.3(d), (i) each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that neither such Junior Agent nor any such Junior Secured Party will take any action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral under any Senior Debt Document, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Junior Shared Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby waives any and all rights it or any such Junior Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to or contest or protest (or support any objection to or contest or protest of) the manner in which the Senior Agents or the Senior Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the Senior Obligations or the Liens granted on any of the Senior Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party is adverse to the interests of the Junior Secured Parties.

-27-

(g) Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Junior Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Senior Agents or the Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Senior Debt Documents.

(h) Subject to Section 2.3(d), each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties represented thereby, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, it will not commence (or support the commencement of), or join with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties and the Senior Agents) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Junior Shared Collateral under any of the Junior Documents or otherwise in respect of the Junior Obligations.

Each of the Term Agent, each Term Secured Party, the ABL Agent and each ABL Secured Party agrees (i) that it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim (or support any of the foregoing), in the case of the Term Agent and each

Each Junior Agent and each Junior Secured Party agrees (i) that it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim (or support any of the foregoing) against any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person with respect to the Collateral which is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and none of such Senior Agents or Senior Secured Parties shall be liable for any such action taken or omitted to be taken, and (ii) it will not be a petitioning creditor or otherwise assist or support in the filing of an involuntary Insolvency Proceeding.

(b) Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, as between the Senior Agents, on the one hand, and the Junior Agents, on the other hand, the Senior Agents shall have the sole and exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral and shall have the sole and exclusive right to determine and direct the time, method and place for exercising such right or remedy or conducting any proceeding with respect thereto consistent with the terms of the Agreement. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Designated Junior Agent, who may be instructed by the Junior Majority Agents, shall have the exclusive right to exercise any right or remedy with respect to the Collateral, and the Designated Junior Agent, who may be instructed by the Junior Majority Agents, shall have the exclusive right to direct the time, method and place of exercising or conducting any proceeding for the exercise of any right or remedy available to the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, or of exercising or directing the exercise of any trust or power conferred on the Junior Agents, or for the taking of any other action authorized by the Junior Collateral Documents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.4(b) shall impair the right of any Junior Agent or other agent or trustee acting on behalf of the Junior Secured Parties to take such actions with respect to the Collateral after the Discharge of Senior Obligations as may be otherwise required or authorized pursuant to any intercreditor agreement governing the Junior Secured Parties or the Junior Obligations.

(i) In the event of (A) any private or public sale of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by or with the consent of the ABL Agent (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c) hereof), or (B) any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (other than in connection with a refinancing as described in Section 5.2(c) hereof), so long as such sale, transfer or other disposition is then permitted by the ABL Documents or consented to by the requisite ABL Lenders, irrespective of whether an Event of Default has occurred, each of the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term

ARTICLE 3

ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. The Term Agent, the ABL Agent and any Junior Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Term Obligations, the ABL Obligations or the Junior Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Term Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to Term Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Junior Obligations so long as such receipt is not (x) prohibited by the terms of any Senior Debt Documents or (y) the direct or indirect result of the exercise by such Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to any Senior Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them.

Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection.

(a) The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Secured Party, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Term Secured Party, as applicable, each agree to hold all Collateral in their respective possession, custody, or control (including as defined in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, 9-107 and 8-106 of the UCC) (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either) as gratuitous bailee for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting or maintaining the perfection of the security interest granted to each in such Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2. None of the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Agent, or the Term Secured Parties, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Collateral is genuine or owned by the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral as gratuitous bailee and/or agent for the other Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Term Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable. The ABL Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the Term Secured Parties or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the Term Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account

-35-

or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Term Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the ABL Secured Parties, or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Term Secured Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. In addition, the Term Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, hereby agrees and acknowledges that other than with respect to ABL Priority Collateral that may be perfected through the filing of a UCC financing statement, the ABL Agent’s Liens may be perfected on certain items of ABL Priority Collateral with respect to which the Term Agent’s Liens would not be perfected but for the provisions of this Section 3.2, and the Term Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, hereby further agrees that the foregoing described in this sentence shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

(b) Each Senior Agent acknowledges and agrees that if it shall at any time hold a Lien securing any Senior Obligations on any Junior Shared Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control of such Junior Shared Collateral or of any account in which such Junior Shared Collateral is held, and if such Junior Shared Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of such Senior Agent, or of agents or bailees of such Person, or if it shall any time obtain any landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or any similar agreement or arrangement granting it rights or access to Junior Shared Collateral, the applicable Senior Agent shall also hold such Control Collateral, or take such actions with respect to such landlord waiver, bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement, as sub-agent or gratuitous bailee for each relevant Junior Agent, in each case solely for the purpose of perfecting the Liens granted under the relevant Junior Collateral Documents and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2(b). In the event that any Senior Agent (or its agents or bailees) has Lien filings against Intellectual Property that is part of the Junior Shared Collateral that are necessary for the perfection of Liens in such Junior Shared Collateral, such Senior Agent agrees prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations to hold such Liens as sub-agent and gratuitous bailee for each relevant Junior Agent and any assignee thereof, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Liens pursuant to the relevant Junior Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2(b). Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Agents and the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to deal with the Control Collateral in accordance with the terms of the applicable Senior Debt Documents as if the Liens under the Junior Collateral Documents did not exist. The rights of the Junior Agents and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Control Collateral shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Senior Agents and the Senior Secured Parties shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party to assure that any of the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person, except as expressly set forth in this Section 3.2(b). The duties or responsibilities of the Senior Agents under this Section 3.2(b) are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Junior Shared Collateral referred to in this Section 3.2(b) as gratuitous bailee and/or agent for each relevant Junior Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Junior Agent. The Senior Agents shall not have, by reason of the Junior Collateral Documents or this Agreement, or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party, and each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for and on behalf of itself and the Junior Secured Parties represented thereby, hereby waives and releases the

-36-

Senior Agents from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the Senior Agents’ roles under this Section 3.2(b) as sub-agents and gratuitous bailees with respect to the Junior Shared Collateral.

Section 3.3 Sharing of Information and Access. In the event that the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Term Credit Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall, upon request from the Term Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Term Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Term Agent copies thereof. In the event that the Term Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the Term Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any ABL Credit Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall, upon request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Agent copies thereof.

Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Agent and the Term Agent shall each be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Collateral as set forth in the Term Credit Agreement or the ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable. The ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral. The Term Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Term Priority Collateral. If any insurance claim includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, and if the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties. All proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and each of the Term Agent and ABL Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. Unless and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, the Senior Agents and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against any Junior Agent, subject to the rights of the Credit Parties under the Senior Debt Documents, (a) to be named as additional insured and loss payee under any insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Credit Party, (b) to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Junior Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and (c) to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Junior Shared Collateral. If any Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1.

-37-

Section 3.5 No Additional Rights For the Credit Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6 hereof, if any ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Junior Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Junior Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Junior Secured Party.

Section 3.6 Inspection and Access Rights.

(a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral (or any other Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent) and whether or not the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party has commenced and is continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies, the ABL Agent or any other Person (including any ABL Credit Party) acting with the consent, or on behalf, of the ABL Agent, shall have the right (a) during the Use Period during normal business hours on any Business Day, to access ABL Priority Collateral that (i) is stored or located in or on, (ii) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code), or (iii) has been commingled with (within the meaning of Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code) Term Priority Collateral (collectively, the “ABL Affected Collateral”), and (b) during the Use Period, shall have the irrevocable right to use the Term Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, Equipment, Fixtures, Intellectual Property, General Intangibles and Real Property) on a rent-free, royalty-free basis, each of the foregoing solely for the limited purposes of assembling, inspecting, copying or downloading information stored on, taking actions to perfect its Lien on, completing a production run of Inventory involving, taking possession of, moving, preparing and advertising for sale, selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in any ABL Credit Party’s business), storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Term Secured Party or any Junior Secured Party or liability to any Term Secured Party or any Junior Secured Party; provided, however, that the expiration of the Use Period shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law. In the event that any ABL Secured Party has commenced and is continuing the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any ABL Affected Collateral or any other sale or liquidation of the ABL Affected Collateral has been commenced by an ABL Credit Party (with the consent of the ABL Agent), the Term Agent may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer the related Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use Period, unless the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.6.

(b) During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Secured Parties and/or the ABL Agent (or their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent

-38-

shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Term Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Term Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Secured Parties or the ABL Agent have any liability to the Term Secured Parties and/or to the Term Agent (or to any Junior Secured Party and/or any Junior Agent) pursuant to this Section 3.6 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties (or the ABL Agent, as the case may be) of their rights under this Section 3.6 and the ABL Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Secured Parties, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral that results from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Term Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 3.6. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 3.6, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall cooperate with the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Agent in connection with any efforts made by the Term Secured Parties and/or the Term Agent to sell the Term Priority Collateral.

(c) The ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Term Agent, any Junior Agent, the Term Secured Parties or any Junior Secured Parties (or any person claiming by, through or under the Term Secured Parties, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to the ABL Credit Parties, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties of the Term Priority Collateral.

(d) The ABL Secured Parties shall (i) use the Term Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law; (ii) insure for damage to property and liability to persons, including property and liability insurance for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties; and (iii) reimburse the Term Secured Parties for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused by the acts or omissions of Persons under their control (except for those arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Term Secured Party); provided, however, that the ABL Secured Parties will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral caused by the absence of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom.

(e) The Term Agent, any Junior Agent, the other Term Secured Parties and the other Junior Secured Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to not hinder or obstruct the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties from exercising the rights described in Section 3.6(a) hereof.

(f) Subject to the terms hereof, the Term Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Term Priority Collateral without notice (except as required by applicable law) to any ABL Secured Party or any Junior Secured Party, the involvement of or interference by any ABL Secured Party or any Junior Secured Party or liability to any ABL Secured Party or any Junior Secured Party as long as, in the case of an actual sale, the respective purchaser assumes and agrees to the obligations of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties under this Section 3.6.

-39-

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing in this Section 3.6, the Term Agent, in its capacity as a secured party (or as a purchaser, assignee or transferee, as applicable), and to the extent of its interest therein, hereby grants to the ABL Agent a nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, license or sublicense any and all Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Credit Parties (except to the extent such grant is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation), included as part of the Term Priority Collateral (and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) as is or may be necessary or advisable in the ABL Agent’s reasonable judgment for the ABL Agent to process, ship, produce, store, supply, lease, complete, sell, liquidate or otherwise deal with the ABL Priority Collateral, or to collect or otherwise realize upon any Accounts (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) comprising ABL Priority Collateral, in each case solely in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies; provided that (i) any such license shall terminate upon the sale of the applicable ABL Priority Collateral and shall not extend or transfer to the purchaser of such ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) the ABL Agent’s use of such Intellectual Property shall be reasonable and lawful, and (iii) any such license is granted on an “AS IS” basis, without any representation or warranty whatsoever. The Term Agent (i) acknowledges and consents to the grant to the ABL Agent by the Credit Parties of the license referred to in Section 4.1 of each Security Agreement (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) and (ii) agrees that its Liens in the Term Priority Collateral shall be subject in all respects to such license. Furthermore, the Term Agent agrees that, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies conducted by the Term Agent in respect of Term Priority Collateral, (x) any notice required to be given by the Term Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall contain an acknowledgement of the existence of such license and (y) the Term Agent shall provide written notice to any purchaser, assignee or transferee pursuant to an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies that the applicable assets are subject to such license.

Section 3.7 Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Term Secured Parties, further agree that prior to an issuance of any notice of Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by such Secured Party (unless a bankruptcy or insolvency Event of Default then exists), any proceeds of Collateral, whether or not deposited under control agreements, which are used by any Credit Party to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Senior Agents and the Senior Lenders) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired.

Section 3.8 Purchase Right

(a) If (i) the ABL Agent or “Required Lenders” (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) shall sell, lease, license or dispose of all or substantially all of the ABL Priority Collateral by private or public sale, (ii) an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Borrower or

-40-

Intermediate Holdings shall have occurred or shall have been commenced, or (iii) the ABL Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement shall have been accelerated (including as a result of any automatic acceleration) or shall remain unpaid following the Maturity Date or similar term (as defined in any ABL Credit Agreement), (each such event described in clauses (i) through (iii) herein above, a “Purchase Option Event”), the Term Secured Parties shall have the opportunity to purchase (at par and without premium) all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8; provided, that such option shall expire if the applicable Term Secured Parties fail to deliver a written notice (a “Purchase Notice”) to the ABL Agent with a copy to the Borrower within ten (10) business days following the first date the Term Agent obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of the earliest Purchase Option Event, which Purchase Notice shall (A) be signed by the applicable Term Secured Parties committing to such purchase (the “Purchasing Creditors”) and indicate the percentage of the ABL Obligations to be purchased by each Purchasing Creditor (which aggregate commitments must add up to 100% of the ABL Obligations) and (B) state that (1) it is a Purchase Notice delivered pursuant to Section 3.8 of this Agreement and (2) the offer contained therein is irrevocable. Upon receipt of such Purchase Notice by the ABL Agent, the Purchasing Creditors shall have from the date of delivery thereof to and including the date that is ten (10) business days after the Purchase Notice was received by the ABL Agent to purchase all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8 (the date of such purchase, the “Purchase Date”).

(b) On the Purchase Date, the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties shall, subject to any required approval of any Governmental Authority and any limitation in the ABL Credit Agreement, in each case then in effect, if any, sell to the Purchasing Creditors all (but not less than all) of the ABL Obligations. On such Purchase Date, the Purchasing Creditors shall (i) pay to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, as directed by the ABL Agent, in immediately available funds the full amount (at par and without premium) of all ABL Obligations then outstanding together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon, all in the amounts specified by the ABL Agent and determined in accordance with the applicable ABL Documents, (ii) furnish such amount of cash collateral in immediately available funds as the ABL Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure ABL Secured Parties in connection with any (x) contingent Other Liabilities or (y) issued and outstanding letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement but not in any event in an amount greater than 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount of all such outstanding letters of credit (and in the case of clauses (x) and (y) herein above, any excess of such cash collateral for such Other Liabilities or letters of credit remaining at such time when there are no longer any such Other Liabilities or letters of credit outstanding and there are no unreimbursed amounts then owing in respect of such Other Liabilities or drawings under such letters of credit shall be promptly paid over to the Term Agent) and (iii) agree to reimburse the ABL Secured Parties for any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from the granting of provisional credit for any checks, wire or ACH transfers that are reversed or not final or other payments provisionally credited to the ABL Obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement and as to which the ABL Agent and ABL Secured Parties have not yet received final payment as of the Purchase Date. Such purchase price shall be remitted by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such bank account of the ABL Agent (for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties) as the ABL Agent shall have specified in writing to the Term Agent. Interest and fees shall be calculated to but excluding the Purchase Date if the amounts so paid by the applicable Term Lenders to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, and interest shall be

-41-

calculated to and including such Purchase Date if the amounts so paid by the applicable Term Lenders to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account after 1:00 p.m., New York time.

(c) Any purchase pursuant to the purchase option set forth in this Section 3.8 shall, except as provided below, be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the ABL Agent or the other ABL Secured Parties as to the ABL Obligations, the collateral or otherwise, and without recourse to the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties as to the ABL Obligations, the collateral or otherwise, except that the ABL Agent and each of the ABL Secured Parties, as to itself only, shall represent and warrant only as to the matters set forth in the assignment agreement to be entered into as provided herein in connection with such purchase, which shall include (i) the principal amount of the ABL Obligations being sold by it, (ii) that such Person has not created any Lien on any ABL Obligations being sold by it, and (iii) that such Person has the right to assign the ABL Obligations being assigned by it and its assignment agreement has been duly authorized and delivered.

(d) Upon notice to the Credit Parties by the Term Agent that the purchase of ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8 has been consummated by delivery of the purchase price to the ABL Agent, the Credit Parties shall treat the applicable Term Lenders as holders of the ABL Obligations and the Term Agent shall be deemed appointed to act in such capacity as the “agent” or “administrative agent” (or analogous capacity) (the “Replacement Agent”) under the ABL Documents, for all purposes hereunder and under each ABL Document (it being agreed that the ABL Agent shall have no obligation to act as such replacement “agent” or “administrative agent” (or analogous capacity)). In connection with any purchase of ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8, each ABL Lender and ABL Agent agrees to enter into and deliver to the applicable Term Lenders on the Purchase Date, as a condition to closing, an assignment agreement customarily used by the ABL Agent in connection with the ABL Credit Agreement and the ABL Agent and each other ABL Lender shall deliver all possessory collateral (if any), together with any necessary endorsements and other documents (including any applicable stock powers or bond powers), then in its possession or in the possession of its agent or bailee, or turn over control as to any pledged collateral, deposit accounts or securities accounts of which it or its agent or bailee then has control, as the case may be, to the Replacement Agent, and deliver the loan register and participant register, if applicable and all other records pertaining to the ABL Obligations to the Replacement Agent and otherwise take such actions as may be reasonably appropriate to effect an orderly transition to the Replacement Agent. Upon the consummation of the purchase of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8, the ABL Agent (and all other agents under the ABL Credit Agreement) shall be deemed to have resigned as an “agent” or “administrative agent” for the ABL Secured Parties under the ABL Documents; provided that the ABL Agent (and all other agents under the ABL Credit Agreement) shall be entitled to all of the rights and benefits of a former “agent” or “administrative agent” under the ABL Credit Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing purchase of the ABL Obligations by the Purchasing Creditors, the ABL Secured Parties shall retain those contingent indemnification obligations and other obligations under the ABL Documents which by their express terms would survive any repayment of the ABL Obligations pursuant to this Section 3.8.

-42-

Section 3.9 Payments Over.

If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement.

No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may have.

(b) If the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Term Obligations (a “Term Recovery”), then the Term Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Recovery.

(b) If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, and the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral) (it being agreed that the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing secured by the ABL Priority Collateral in competition with the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties without the consent of the ABL Agent), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the ABL Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under any Debtor Relief Law) and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the subject Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing furnished by the Term Agent or Term Secured Parties is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on Term Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing furnished by the Term Agent or Term Secured Parties shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties securing the Term Obligations on Term Priority Collateral and (iii) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(b) hereof shall not prevent the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws.

(c) If the Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, and any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Senior Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Senior Collateral), then each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that it will raise no (a) objection to and will not otherwise contest (or support, directly or indirectly, any contest to or in respect of) such sale, use or lease of such cash or other collateral or such DIP Financing and, except to the extent permitted by Section 2.3(d) and Section 6.3(d), will not request (or seek to request) or accept any adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith and, to the extent the Liens securing any Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens in the Junior Shared Collateral to (x) such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (y) to any “carve-out” for professional and United

-54-

States Trustee fees agreed to by the applicable Senior Agent(s) and (z) any adequate protection Liens granted to any Senior Agent, (b) objection to (and will not otherwise contest or support any contest) any motion for relief from the automatic stay or from any injunction against foreclosure or enforcement in respect of Senior Obligations made by any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party, (c) objection to (and will not otherwise support, directly or indirectly, any objection to or contest or support any contest of) any lawful exercise by any Senior Secured Party of the right to credit bid Senior Obligations at any sale in foreclosure of Senior Collateral or under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise under any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan or (d) objection to (and will not otherwise support, directly or indirectly, any objection to or contest or support any contest of) any other request for judicial relief made in any court by any Senior Secured Party relating to the lawful enforcement of any Lien on Senior Collateral. Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that notice received two Business Days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash or other collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice.

(d) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent, the Term Agent or any Junior Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 6.2 Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Term Priority Collateral without the Term Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees not to seek (or support any other Person in seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of any Junior Shared Collateral without the express written consent of each Senior Agent. In addition, neither the Term Agent nor the ABL Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other, unless such period is agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Term Agent to be modified or unless the ABL Agent or Term Agent, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Agent’s or the Term Agent’s ability to realize upon its Collateral.

Section 6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection.

(a) The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof and this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above), (ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the ABL Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) or (iii) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

(b) The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, except as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof and this Section 6.3 or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Term Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above), (ii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the Term Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) or (iii) any objection by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the Term Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

(i) if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same

-56-

additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the Term Agent on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(ii) in the event the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Secured Parties, are granted adequate protection in respect of Term Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Term Priority Collateral), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Term Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Agent on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the Term Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Term Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Term Priority Collateral.

(iii) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 hereof or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Term Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 hereof or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Term Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

(d) Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that none of them shall (A) object, contest or support any other Person objecting to or contesting (a) any request by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Parties for adequate protection, (b) any objection by any Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on any Senior Agent’s or Senior Secured Party’s claiming a lack of adequate protection or (c) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts of any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law or (B) assert or support any claim for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3 or in Section 6.1, in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the Senior Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral under Section 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law, then each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien or superpriority claim on such additional collateral, which Lien or

-57-

superpriority claim is subordinated to the Liens securing and claims relating to all Senior Obligations and such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing and claims relating to the Junior Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement, (ii) in the event any Junior Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional or replacement collateral (even if such collateral is Junior Shared Collateral), then such Junior Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional or replacement collateral as security for the Senior Obligations and that any Lien on such additional or replacement collateral securing the applicable Junior Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations and any such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing such Junior Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (iii) in the event any Junior Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, seeks or requests adequate protection and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a superpriority claim, then such Junior Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that each Senior Agent shall also be granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim shall be senior to the superpriority claim of the Junior Secured Parties.

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. The Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as the Term Agent, for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the proceeds of such sale (to the extent such proceeds are not applied to the ABL Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(b) hereof). The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Term Agent of any Term Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as (i) any such sale is made in accordance with Section 3.6 hereof and (ii) the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the proceeds of such sale (to the extent such proceeds are not applied to the Term Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(c) hereof). Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement agrees, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, that it will not oppose (or support any Person in opposing) any sale or other disposition consented to by any Senior Agent of any Senior Collateral pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws), so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral and the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the allocation of the purchase price between the ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, either Party may apply to the court in such Insolvency Proceeding to make a determination of such allocation, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties.

-58-

Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Secured Party, each ABL Secured Party and each Junior Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents, the Term Collateral Documents and the Junior Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and the Junior Obligations, the ABL Obligations are fundamentally different from the Term Obligations and the Junior Obligations, and the Junior Obligations are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and, in each case, must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization (or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws) proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, (x) if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Obligation claims against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees and expenses that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties from such Collateral, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries, and (y) if it is held that the claims of any of the Senior Secured Parties and any Junior Secured Parties in respect of the Junior Shared Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of Senior Obligation claims and Junior Obligation claims against the Credit Parties in respect of the Junior Shared Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Junior Shared Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by any Junior Secured Parties), the applicable Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the Senior Secured Parties and any other Senior Collateral (regardless of whether any claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Secured Parties from Junior Shared Collateral, with each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior

-59-

Secured Party represented thereby, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the applicable Senior Agent amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries of such Junior Secured Parties.

Section 6.6 No Waivers of Rights of Senior Secured Parties. Nothing contained herein shall, except as expressly provided herein, prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by any Junior Secured Party of adequate protection or the assertion by any Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the applicable Junior Documents or otherwise.

Section 6.7 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law and shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. The relative rights as to the Collateral and proceeds thereof shall continue after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition therefor, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Credit Party. All references herein to any Credit Party shall include such Credit Party as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor.

Section 6.8 Other Matters with respect to Junior Shared Collateral. To the extent that any Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement or any Junior Secured Party represented thereby has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law with respect to any of the Junior Shared Collateral, such Junior Agent, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, or such Junior Secured Party agrees not to assert any such rights without the prior written consent of each Senior Agent; provided that if requested by each Senior Agent, such Junior Agent shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the Senior Agents (acting unanimously), including any rights to payments in respect of such rights. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred, each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens securing the Senior Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Junior Shared Collateral.

Section 6.9 Reorganization Securities.

(a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of both the Senior Obligations and the Junior Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Senior Obligations and on account of the Junior Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) Each Junior Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall not propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement, other than with the prior written consent of each Senior Agent.

Section 6.10 Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, shall not object to, oppose, support any objection, or take any other action to impede, the right of any Senior Secured Party to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any senior claimholder arising out of the election by any Senior Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, for itself and on behalf of each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, agrees that it shall not make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code regarding the Junior Shared Collateral.

Section 6.11 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Term Agent and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Document;

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to the Term Agent or any Term Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Term Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Term Obligations, the Term Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Term Obligations resulting from payments to the Term Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the Term Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

Each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred. Following the Discharge of Senior Obligations, each Senior Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as such Junior Agent or any Junior Secured Party represented by it may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations, as applicable, resulting from payments to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as applicable, by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as applicable, are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

Section 7.2 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments received by the Senior Secured Parties may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Senior Obligations as the Senior Secured

-63-

Parties, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, consistent with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Junior Agent that becomes a party to this Agreement, on behalf of itself and each Junior Secured Party represented thereby, assents to any such extension or postponement of the time of payment of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security that may at any time secure any part of the Senior Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

Section 7.3 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 any Senior Agent may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable such Senior 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 7.3, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, 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 7.3.

Section 7.4 Representations. The Term Agent represents and warrants to the ABL Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Term Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the Term Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties, enforceable against the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.5 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 Term Agent, the ABL Agent, the Designated Junior Agent and, in the case of any amendment or waiver that could reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of any Credit Party (it being agreed that any such amendment or waiver that

-64-

conflicts with or is inconsistent with the obligations of any Credit Party under any other ABL Documents, Term Documents or Junior Documents is adverse to the interests of a Credit Party), the Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. It is understood that the ABL Agent, the Term Agent and the Designated Junior Agent, without the consent of any other ABL Secured Party, Term Secured Party or Junior Secured Party, respectively, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate (i) to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations of any of the Credit Parties become ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Junior Obligations of a particular Series, as the case may be, under this Agreement (including any Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) or any Permitted Refinancing thereof), (ii) to effectuate the subordination of Liens securing any Permitted Junior Secured Refinancing Debt or any Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) that is secured on a junior basis (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) to the Liens on the Term Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations and to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Term Obligations and (iii) to cause Liens securing any Permitted Pari Passu Secured Refinancing Debt or any Incremental Equivalent Debt (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement) that is secured on a pari passu basis (or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) to be secured by ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral on a pari passu basis with ABL Obligations or Term Obligations, as the case may be (the indebtedness or other obligations described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), “Additional Debt”), which supplemental agreement shall, except in the case of (ii) and (iii), specify whether such Additional Debt constitutes ABL Obligations, Term Obligations or Junior Obligations; provided that such Additional Debt is permitted to be incurred under any ABL Credit Agreement, any Term Credit Agreement and any Junior Agreement then extant in accordance with the terms thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of any other Secured Party but with the consent of the Borrower, (x) any Junior Agent may become a party hereto by execution and delivery to each other Agent of a Junior Secured Indebtedness Joinder in accordance with Section 7.6 and (y) any Senior Agent may become a party hereto by execution and delivery to each other Agent of a joinder hereto pursuant to Section 5.2(c) and, in each case, upon such execution and delivery, such Agent and the Secured Parties for which such Agent is acting shall be subject to the terms hereof; (ii) the Senior Agents may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure therefrom by any Senior Secured Party, that solely affects the rights and obligations of the Senior Secured Parties hereunder or does not adversely affect any Junior Secured Party in its capacity as such, in each case, without the consent of any Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Party; and (iii) (x) any Junior Majority Agent may amend or waive any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure therefrom by any Junior Secured Party, and (y) any two or more Junior Agents may in a separate agreement consent to any departure from this Agreement by any Junior Secured Party, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), that solely affects the rights and obligations of the Junior Secured Parties hereunder without the consent of any Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure therefrom by any Party hereto, that changes, alters, modifies or otherwise affects any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of, or otherwise affects in any manner, any Junior Agent that is not then a Party, or any Junior Secured Party not then represented by a Junior Agent that is then a Party (including but not limited to any

-65-

change, alteration, modification or other effect upon any power, privilege, right, remedy, liability or obligation of or other effect upon any such Junior Agent or Junior Secured Party that may at any subsequent time become a Party or beneficiary hereof), shall be effective unless it is consented to in writing by the Borrower (regardless of whether any such Junior Agent or Junior Secured Party ever becomes a Party or beneficiary hereof), and any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, through any reference in any Credit Document to this Agreement or otherwise, of waiving, amending, supplementing or otherwise modifying any Credit Document, or any term or provision thereof, or any right or obligation of the Borrower or any other Credit Party thereunder or in respect thereof, shall not be given such effect except pursuant to a written instrument executed by the Borrower and each other affected Credit Party.

Section 7.6 Section 7.6 Designation of Junior Secured Indebtedness; Joinder of Junior Agents.

(a) The Borrower may designate any Junior Secured Indebtedness complying with the requirements of the definition of “Junior Secured Indebtedness” as Junior Secured Indebtedness for purposes of this Agreement, upon complying with the following conditions:

(i) one or more Junior Agents for one or more Junior Secured Parties in respect of such Junior Secured Indebtedness shall have executed the Junior Secured Indebtedness Joinder with respect to such Junior Secured Indebtedness, and the Borrower or any such Junior Agent shall have delivered such executed Junior Secured Indebtedness Joinder to each other Agent then party to this Agreement;

(ii) at least five Business Days (unless a shorter period is agreed in writing by the Parties and the Borrower) prior to delivery of the Junior Secured Indebtedness Joinder, the Borrower shall have delivered to each other Agent then party to this Agreement complete and correct copies of any Junior Agreement, Junior Guaranties and Junior Collateral Documents that will govern such Junior Secured Indebtedness upon giving effect to such designation (which may be unexecuted copies of Junior Documents to be executed and delivered concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation);

(iii) the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to each other Agent then party to this Agreement a Junior Secured Indebtedness Designation, with respect to such Junior Secured Indebtedness; and

(iv) all state and local stamp, recording, filing, intangible and similar taxes or fees (if any) that are payable in connection with the inclusion of such Junior Secured Indebtedness under this Agreement shall have been paid and reasonable evidence thereof shall have been given to each other Agent then party to this Agreement.

-66-

(b) Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the designated Junior Secured Indebtedness shall constitute “Junior Secured Indebtedness”, any Junior Agreement under which such Junior Secured Indebtedness is or may be incurred shall constitute a “Junior Agreement”, any holder of such Junior Secured Indebtedness or other applicable Junior Secured Party shall constitute a “Junior Secured Party”, and any Junior Agent for any such Junior Secured Party shall constitute a “Junior Agent,” for all purposes under this Agreement.
