Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Grantor agrees that any and all claims of such Grantor against any other Grantor (each an "Obligor") with respect to any "Intercompany Indebtedness" (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any right of any Grantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Grantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Secured Obligations and the Agent in those assets. No Grantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all Commitments and Facility LCs issued under the Credit Agreement have terminated or expired. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an "Insolvency Event"), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Grantor ("Intercompany Indebtedness") shall be paid or delivered directly to the Agent for application on any of the Secured Obligations, due or to become due, until such Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Grantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the termination or expiration of all Commitments of the Lenders and Facility LCs issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Grantor where necessary), for application to any of the Secured Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Grantor as the property of the Holders of Secured Obligations. If any such Grantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Agent, the Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Grantor agrees that until the Secured Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all Commitments and Facility LCs issued under the Credit Agreement have terminated or expired, no Grantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Agent or 15 the Borrower or another Grantor) any claim any such Grantor has or may have against any Obligor. 8.16. Partial Invalidity. If and to the extent that any Grantor's obligations hereunder are terminated or are otherwise deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, such termination, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the continued effectiveness, validity or enforceability of this Security Agreement with respect to any one or more of the other Grantors. ARTICLE 9 NOTICES 9.1. Sending Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be sent (and deemed received) in the manner and to the addresses set forth in Article XIII of the Credit Agreement; and any such notice delivered to the Borrower shall be deemed to have been delivered to all of the Grantors. 9.2.

If such default cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, and provided the Agent is diligently pursuing a cure, then the Agent shall have a reasonable period to cure such default. (vii) The undersigned shall accept performance by the Agent of the Grantor's obligations under the Lease as though the same had been performed by the holder of the Grantor's interest therein at the time of such performance. Upon the cure of any such default, any notice of Landlord advising of any default or any action of the undersigned to terminate the Lease or to interfere with the occupancy, use or enjoyment of the Premises by reason thereof, which action has not been completed, shall be deemed rescinded and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The undersigned shall not be required to continue any possession or continue any action to obtain possession upon the cure of any such default. (viii) If, for any reason whatsoever, the undersigned either deems itself entitled to redeem or to take possession of the Premises during the term of Grantor's lease, the undersigned will notify the Agent five (5) days before taking such action. (ix) If Grantor defaults on its obligations to the Agent or any Lender and, as a result, the Agent undertakes to enforce its security interest in the Collateral, the undersigned will permit the Agent to remain on the Premises for one-hundred and twenty (120) days (provided, that the foregoing period shall be tolled from and during the pendency of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the Grantor) after the later to occur of (a) the date on which the Agent gives the undersigned notice of the default and (b) the date on which the Agent is given access to the Premises, provided the Agent pays the rental payments due under the Lease for the period of time the Agent occupies the Premises, or, at the Agent's option, to remove the Collateral from the Premises within a reasonable time, not to exceed one-hundred and twenty (120) days (provided, that the foregoing period shall be tolled from and during the pendency of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the Grantor) after the later to occur of (i) the date on which the Agent gives the undersigned notice of the default and (ii) the date on which the Agent is given access to the Premises, provided the Agent pays 4 the rental payments due under the Lease for the period of time the Agent occupies the Premises, and will not hinder the Agent's actions in enforcing its liens on the Collateral. (x) In the event that Grantor shall become a debtor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code and, in connection therewith, Grantor shall reject the Lease or Option as an executory contract, then within thirty (30) days following such rejection, upon the written request by the Agent, the undersigned shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with the Agent or its designee (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the undersigned), for the benefit of the Lenders which new lease (1) shall be effective as of the date of the termination of the Lease, (2) shall be for a term expiring as of the last day of the term of the Lease, and (3) shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (including any provisions for renewal or extension of the term of the Lease); provided that the Agent or such designee, as the case may be, shall be required, as a condition to the effectiveness of such new lease, to pay the Lessor any amount equal to any rent remaining unpaid by Grantor under the Lease.
