LIEN PRIORITIES

Section 2.01Relative Priorities.  Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral or of any Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted on the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, or any applicable Law or the Second Lien Loan Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) hereby agrees that:  (a) any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Lien on the Collateral securing any of the Second Lien Obligations; and (b) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Claimholders or any agent or trustee therefor regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations.

Section 2.02Failure to Perfect.  All Liens on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Collateral securing any Second Lien Obligations for all purposes, notwithstanding any failure of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to adequately perfect its security interests in the Collateral, the subordination of any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations to any Lien securing any other obligation of any Grantor, or the avoidance, invalidation or lapse of any Lien on the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations.

Section 2.03Nature of First Lien Obligations.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of the other Second Lien Claimholders) acknowledges that (a) a portion of the First Lien Obligations are revolving in nature, (b) the amount thereof that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (c) the terms of the First Lien Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and (d), subject to the limitations on the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Obligations set forth in the definition of “First Lien Obligations” or in Section 5.03, the aggregate amount of the First Lien Obligations may be increased or Refinanced, in either event, without notice to or consent by the Second Lien Claimholders and without affecting the provisions hereof.  The lien priorities provided in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, or any portion thereof.

12

Section 2.04Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder) and the First Lien Collateral Agent (for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder) 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 or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders in the First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Second Lien Claimholders in the Second Lien Collateral, as the case may be; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Sections 2.01 and 3.01.

Section 2.05No New Liens.

(a)Limitation on other Collateral for First Lien Claimholders.  So long as any Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and subject to Article VI, (i) the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees that, after the date hereof, neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any First Lien Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any First Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the second-priority Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents, and (ii) each Grantor 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 the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders unless it, or such Subsidiary, has granted a similar Lien on such assets in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders.  If the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire any Lien on any assets of any Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries securing any First Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the second-priority Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Collateral Documents, then the First Lien Collateral Agent (or the relevant First Lien Claimholder), shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other First Lien Loan Document (x) in addition to holding such Lien for the benefit of itself and the other First Lien Claimholders as security for the First Lien Obligations, also hold and be deemed to have held such Lien for the benefit of the Second Lien Collateral Agent as security for the Second Lien Obligations subject to the priorities set forth herein or (y) release such Lien.

(b)Limitation on other Collateral for Second Lien Claimholders.  Until the date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, (i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent agrees that, after the date hereof, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Second Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the senior priority Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent under the First Lien Collateral Documents, and (ii) each Grantor 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 the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders unless it, or such Subsidiary, has granted a similar Lien on such assets in favor of the First Lien Collateral

13

Agent or the First Lien Claimholders.  If the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire any Lien on any assets of any Grantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries securing any Second Lien Obligations which assets are not also subject to the first-priority Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent under the First Lien Collateral Documents, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent (or the relevant Second Lien Claimholder), shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Second Lien Loan Document (x) in addition to holding such Lien for the benefit of itself and the other Second Lien Claimholders as security for the Second Lien Obligations, also hold and be deemed to have held such Lien for the benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent as security for the First Lien Obligations or (y) release such Lien.

Section 2.06Similar Liens and Agreements.  The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral be identical.  In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.09, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

(a)upon request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents; and

(b)that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Liens on the First Lien Collateral and the Second Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the senior and subordinate nature of the security interests in the Collateral securing the respective First Lien Obligations and Second Lien Obligations thereunder.

In addition, to the extent any guaranty is entered into by any Grantor in respect of the Second Lien Obligations (whether or not the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders have consented thereto), a guaranty by such Person shall be entered into in respect of the First Lien Obligations, and for all purposes hereunder such Person shall be deemed a guarantor of the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations.  Furthermore, to the extent any guaranty is entered into by any Grantor in respect of the First Lien Obligations (whether or not the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders have consented thereto), a guaranty by such Person shall be entered into in respect of the Second Lien Obligations and, for all purposes hereunder, such Person shall be deemed a guarantor of the Second Lien Obligations and the First Lien Obligations.

(A)from the date hereof until the occurrence of the Second Lien Enforcement Date (such period, the “Standstill Period”), will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including any right of set-off or recoupment) with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, account control or collection agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder is a party) or institute or commence (or join with any other Person in commencing) any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) with respect to any Lien held by it under the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Loan Document or otherwise;

(C)subject to the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under clause (i)(A) above, will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral; and

(A)in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations;

(B)the Second Lien Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;

(C)the Second Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien Claimholders, including, without limitation, any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(D)the Second Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the Debtor Relief Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law;

(G)the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the effective continuation of the Second Lien Enforcement Date.

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine advisable in the exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition,

16

and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Debtor Relief Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b)The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any proceeds of Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off or recoupment) with respect to any Collateral, and that any Collateral or proceeds taken or received by it will be paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.02, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.01(a)(ii) and Section 6.07.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.01(a)(ii), the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral 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 the First Lien Obligations has occurred in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents and applicable Law.

(c)Subject to the proviso in Section 3.01(a)(ii) and Section 6.01, (i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder, delay or impede any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner or order in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the First Lien Collateral.

(d)The Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Lien Collateral Documents or any other Second Lien Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Loan Documents.

Section 3.02Actions Upon Breach.

(a)If any Second Lien Claimholder, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Borrower, any other Grantor or the Collateral, such Borrower or such Grantor, with the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, and the First Lien Collateral Agent may intervene and interpose such defense

17

or plea in its name, in the name of the First Lien Claimholders or in the name of such Borrower or such Grantor.

(b)Should any Second Lien Claimholder, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, or attempt or threaten to take, any action with respect to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement), or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Agent (in its own name or in the name of any Borrower) or any Borrower may obtain relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder that (i) the First Lien Claimholders’ damages from such actions may be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that any Borrower, any other Grantor and/or the First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

“Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement, and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, under this Agreement, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2007 as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or replaced from time to time (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) by and among Bank of America, N.A., as First Lien Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Second Lien Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Control Agent and the Grantors (as defined therein) from time to time a party thereto.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

21

priority of the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral over such Second Lien Collateral Document.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.03, until the date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred, in the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders, or the Grantors thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall automatically apply in a comparable manner to any comparable provision of the Second Lien Collateral Documents without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Grantor; provided, however, (i) that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective to (A) release any Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, (B) remove assets subject to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Documents, (C) adversely affect the perfection or priority of any such Lien, except, in each case, to the extent that a release of, or adverse effect on the perfection or priority of, such Lien is permitted by Section 5.01 or Article VI, (D) reduce the principal of, or interest or other amounts payable on, any amount payable under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any Second Lien Loan Document, (E) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest or other amounts payable on, any amounts payable under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any Second Lien Loan Document, (F) permit any Liens on the Collateral not permitted under the Second Lien Loan Documents or Article VI, or (G) impose duties on the Second Lien Collateral Agent, in each case without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and (ii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent no later than 10 days after its effectiveness (provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness or validity thereof) provided further that this paragraph is intended solely to set forth provisions by which the Second Lien Collateral Documents shall be automatically affected by amendments, waivers and consents given by the First Lien Collateral Agent and First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the First Lien Collateral Documents and is not intended to impose any liability on the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders.

Section 5.04Rights As Unsecured Creditors.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents and applicable law.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.01, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off or recoupment) or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them.  Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, rights under Section 4.02.  In the event

22

that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations (created pursuant to the Second Lien Collateral Documents) subject to this Agreement.

Section 5.05Control Agent for Perfection.

(a)The First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) each hereby appoint Bank of America, N.A., as its collateral agent (in such capacity, together with any successor in such capacity appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the “Control Agent”) for the limited purpose of acting as the agent on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) with respect to the Control Collateral for purposes perfecting the Liens of such parties on the Control Collateral.  The Control Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to hold the Control Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as Control Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) and any permitted assignee of any thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to such parties in such Control Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.05.  The First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledge that the Control Agent will obtain “control” under the UCC over each Controlled Account as contemplated by the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents for the benefit of both the First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) pursuant to the control agreements relating to each respective Controlled Account.

(b)The Control Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders), and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) each hereby agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to give instructions to, and otherwise direct, the Control Agent in respect of the Control Collateral or any control agreement with respect to any Control Collateral until the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall have occurred and (ii) the Second Lien Enforcement Date, and neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder will impede, hinder, delay or interfere with the exercise of such rights by the First Lien Collateral Agent in any respect.  The Grantors hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Control Agent to the same extent and on the same terms that the Grantors are required to do so for the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement.  The First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders hereby jointly and severally agree to pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Control Agent to the same extent and

23

on the same terms that the First Lien Claimholders are required to do so for the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Claimholders are required to do so for the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

(c)The provisions of Article IX of the First Lien Credit Agreement and Article IX of the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Control Agent in respect of this Agreement, the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents and shall be binding upon all Grantors, all First Lien Claimholders and all Second Lien Claimholders and upon the parties hereto in such respect.  In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Control Agent therein set forth:

(i)The Control Agent is authorized to take all such actions as are provided to be taken by it as Control Agent hereunder, under any First Lien Collateral Document, under any Second Lien Collateral Document or as instructed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent as provided herein, in each case together with all other actions reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for herein (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon the Collateral) or in one or more of the First Lien Collateral Documents or Second Lien Collateral Documents, the Control Agent shall act or refrain from acting in accordance with written instructions from the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable, or, in the absence of such instructions or provisions, in accordance with its reasonable discretion.

(ii)The Control Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien created under and First Lien Collateral Document or Second Lien Collateral Document in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder unless such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Control Agent shall not have a duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Agreement, any First Lien Collateral Document or any Second Lien Collateral Document by any Grantor.  This Agreement shall not subject the Control Agent to any obligation or liability except as expressly set forth herein.  In particular, the Control Agent shall have no duty to investigate whether the obligations of any Grantor to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien Claimholder are in default or whether the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent is entitled under the First Lien Collateral Documents or the Second Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable, or otherwise to give any instructions or notice of exclusive control.  The Control Agent is fully entitled to rely upon such instructions as it believes in good faith to have originated from the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, as applicable.

24

(d)Except as set forth below, the Control Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any Second Lien Claimholder including, without limitation, any obligation to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any Grantor or one of their respective Subsidiaries or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.05.  In acting on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, the duties or responsibilities of the Control Agent under this Section 5.05 shall be limited solely (i) to physically holding the Control Collateral delivered to the Control Agent by any Grantor as agent for the First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, (ii) obtaining “control” under the UCC over each Controlled Account as contemplated by the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents in accordance with Section 5.05(a), and (iii) delivering such collateral as set forth in Section 5.05(f) and 5.05(g). The rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s rights under the First Lien Loan Documents.

(e)Neither the Control Agent nor the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have by reason of the Second Lien Loan Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.

(f)Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (other than in connection with a Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations), the Control Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent the Control Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second Lien Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Control Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall accept and succeed to the role of the Control Agent as the agent for perfection on the Control Collateral.

(g)The Control Agent shall have an unfettered right to resign as Control Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent.  Upon the effective date of such resignation, the Control Agent shall deliver the Control Collateral to the successor Control Agent.  If upon the effective date of such resignation no successor Control Agent has been appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Control Agent shall deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent the Control Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the First Lien Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Control Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall accept and succeed to the role of the Control Agent as the agent for perfection on the Control Collateral.

Section 5.06When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred.  If at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the

25

Borrowers (or either Borrower) thereafter enter into any Refinancing of any First Lien Loan Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby and by the terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and the obligations under such Refinancing First Lien Loan Document shall automatically be treated as First Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and the First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Loan Documents shall be a First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement.  Upon receipt of a notice stating that the Borrowers have (or either Borrower has) entered into a new First Lien Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrowers or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Control Collateral held by it together with  any necessary endorsements (other otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of the Control Collateral).  If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents.

Section 5.07Purchase Right.  Without prejudice to the enforcement of the First Lien Claimholders’ remedies, the First Lien Claimholders agree that at any time during the sixty (60) day period following (a) acceleration of the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Agreement or (b) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (each, a “Purchase Event”), one or more of the Second Lien Claimholders may request, and the First Lien Claimholders hereby offer the Second Lien Claimholders the option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding First Lien Obligations outstanding at the time of purchase at par (including any applicable premium), without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption (as such term is defined in the Initial First Lien Credit Agreement)).  If such right is exercised within the aforementioned sixty (60) day period, the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request.  If one or more of the Second Lien Claimholders exercise such purchase right, it shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent.  If none of the Second Lien Claimholders exercise such right, the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 5.07 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First Lien Loan Documents and this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI

INSOLVENCY OR LIQUIDATION PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.01Finance and Sale Issues.  Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if any Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit any Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other entity under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Debtor Relief Law, which financing may include a Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations (each, a “DIP Financing”) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount, when combined with the outstanding amount of all First Lien Obligations, not to exceed the Maximum First Lien Indebtedness, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that (a) it will not (i) raise any objection to, or otherwise contest or interfere with, such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing, (ii) support any other Person objecting to, such sale, use, or lease of cash collateral or DIP Financing or (iii) request any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.03) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to (A) the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto), (B) any adequate protection provided to the First Lien Claimholders and (C) any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees, claims of reclamation creditors or holders of claims under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code agreed to by the First Lien Collateral Agent; and (b) notice received two (2) calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such DIP Financing shall be adequate notice; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders from objecting solely to any provisions in any DIP Financing relating to, describing or requiring any provision or content of a plan of reorganization other than provisions solely requiring that the DIP Financing be paid in full in cash.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that it will raise no objection to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral (and any post-petition assets subject to adequate protection liens in favor of  the First Lien Collateral Agent) free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Requisite Lenders under the First Lien Credit Agreement have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets so long as the respective interests of the Second Lien Claimholders attach to the proceeds thereof, subject to the terms of this Agreement.  If requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent in connection therewith, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall affirmatively consent to such a sale or disposition.

Section 6.02Relief from the Automatic Stay.  Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that none of them shall (a) seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent and Requisite Lenders under the First Lien Collateral Agreement, or (b) oppose any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any

27

First Lien Claimholder to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral.

Section 6.03Adequate Protection.

(a)The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other person contesting) (i) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.  In any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) may seek adequate protection in respect of the Second Lien Obligations, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, only if (x) the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral including replacement liens on post-petition collateral, and (y) such additional protection is in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien, if granted, will be subordinated to the adequate protection Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and the Liens securing any  DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and the Liens securing any such DIP Financing.  In the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders) seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent  shall also be granted a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the First Lien Obligations and for any DIP Financing and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Lien Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the First Lien Claimholders as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement and the Liens securing DIP Financing.

(b)Similarly, if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders) may seek or request a superpriority claim, which superpriority claim will be junior in all respects to the superpriority claim granted to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, and, in the event that the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders) seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Second Lien Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a superpriority claim, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that the First Lien Collateral Agent and the providers of any DIP Financing also shall be granted a superpriority claim, which superpriority

28

claim will be senior in all respects to the superpriority claim granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders.

Section 6.04No Waiver.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or otherwise; provided, however, that this Section 6.04 shall not limit the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders under the proviso in Section 3.01(a)(ii) or under Section 6.03 or Section 6.08.

Section 6.05Avoidance Issues.  If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, or otherwise, to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower or any other Grantor any amount in respect of a First Lien Obligation (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.  If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.   Collateral or proceeds thereof received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder after a Discharge of First Lien Obligations and prior to the reinstatement of such First Lien Obligations shall be delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent upon such reinstatement in accordance with Section 4.02.

Section 6.06Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  Each of the Grantors, the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First Lien Claimholders and Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs, premium and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution from, or in respect of, any Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders, with the Second Lien Claimholders hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Claimholders 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 claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.

29

Section 6.07Reorganization Securities.  If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

Section 6.08Post-Petition Claims.

(a)Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s Lien held for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b)Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, costs, charges or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Obligations).

Section 6.09Waiver.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) waives any claim it or they may hereafter have against the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

Section 6.10Expense Claims.  Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Claimholder will (a) contest the payment of fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise to the extent provided for in the First Lien Credit Agreement or (b) assert or enforce, at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code senior to or on parity with the First Lien Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

Section 6.11Other Matters.  To the extent that the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder has or acquires rights under Section 361, Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Collateral, the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees not to assert any

30

of such rights without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent; provided that if requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

Section 6.12Effectiveness in Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.  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 or Liquidation Proceeding.  All references in this Agreement to any Grantor shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.01Inconsistencies with Other Documents.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any First Lien Loan Document or the Second Lien Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms of this Agreement are not intended to negate any specific rights granted to the Borrowers in the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents.

Section 8.02Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability.  This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto.  This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien

35

Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Loan Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any Grantor constituting First Lien Obligations in reliance hereof.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders), hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  All references to any Borrower or any other Grantor shall include such Borrower or such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for any Borrower or any other Grantor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.  This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, (a) with respect to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the later of (i) the date upon which the obligations under the Second Lien Credit Agreement terminate and payment has been made in full in cash of all other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (ii) if there are other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second Lien Obligations terminate and (b) with respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Obligations, the date of Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 5.06 and Section 6.05.

Section 8.03Amendments; Waivers.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Borrower shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights or obligations are directly affected.

Section 8.04Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries.

(a)The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (i) the financial condition of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations and (ii) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations.  The First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to advise the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise.  In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or any

36

of the First Lien Claimholders, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, it or they shall be under no obligation (w) to make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (x) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (y) to undertake any investigation or (z) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

(b)The Grantors agree that any information provided to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Control Agent, any First Lien Claimholder or any Second Lien Claimholder may be shared by such Person with any First Lien Claimholder, any Second Lien Claimholder, the Control Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent notwithstanding a request or demand by such Grantor that such information be kept confidential.

Section 8.05Subrogation.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders), hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.

Section 8.06Application of Payments.  All payments received by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the First Lien Obligations provided for in the First Lien Loan Documents.  The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders), assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment of the First Lien Obligations or any part thereof and to any other indulgence with respect thereto, to any substitution, exchange or release of any security which may at any time secure any part of the First Lien Obligations and to the addition or release of any other Person primarily or secondarily liable therefor.

37

IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER FIRST LIEN LOAN DOCUMENT OR SECOND LIEN LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT, THE SECOND LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT, ANY FIRST LIEN CLAIMHOLDER OR SECOND LIEN CLAIMHOLDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER FIRST LIEN LOAN DOCUMENT OR SECOND LIEN LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER GRANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(b)EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (A) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

(c)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

38

Section 8.09Notices.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices and communications hereunder shall be in writing (for purposes hereof, the term “writing” shall include information in electronic format such as electronic mail and internet web pages), or by telephone subsequently confirmed in writing.  Any notice shall be effective if delivered by hand delivery or sent via electronic mail, posting on an internet web page, telecopy, recognized overnight courier service or certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be presumed to be received by a party hereto (i) on the date of delivery if delivered by hand or sent by electronic mail, posting on an internet web page, or by telecopy, (ii) on the next Business Day if sent by recognized overnight courier service and (iii) on the third (3rd) Business Day following the date sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.  A telephonic notice to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Control Agent as understood by the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Control Agent will be deemed to be the controlling and proper notice in the event of a discrepancy with or failure to receive a confirming written notice.

Section 8.10Further Assurances.  The First Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders), and the Borrowers agree that each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to effectuate the terms of and the lien priorities contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.11APPLICABLE LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 8.14Titles and Captions.  Titles and Captions of Articles, Sections and Subsections in this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.15Counterparts; Integration.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 

39

This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 8.17No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement express or implied shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.18Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Lien Claimholders on the one hand and the Second Lien Claimholders on the other hand.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the rights of any Borrower or any other Grantor, or the obligations of any Borrower or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
