provided, that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii) above, the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second Lien Claimholders shall attach to any proceeds resulting from actions taken by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture

Claimholder in accordance with this Agreement after application of such proceeds to the extent necessary to meet the requirements of a Discharge of Indenture Obligations. The Second Priority Agent agrees to provide at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Super Priority Agent and the Collateral Agent of its intention to foreclose upon or dispose of any Collateral; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not in any way limit its ability to foreclose upon or dispose of any Collateral to the extent that such foreclosure is not otherwise prohibited by the provisions of this Agreement.

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Super Priority Agent and the Super Priority Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Super Priority Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the Indenture Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(3) file any necessary 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 any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

The Super Priority Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Grantors, the Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Agent in connection with the Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(v) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long as the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations has not occurred, the Super Priority Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Super Priority Collateral Documents as if the Liens of the Collateral Agent, Indenture Claimholders the Second Priority Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders did not exist.

(b) After the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations has occurred:

(i) The Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Pledged Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as agent for the Indenture Claimholders and as bailee for the Second Priority Agent (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Indenture Documents and the Second Lien Loan Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5(b).

The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5(b) shall be limited solely to holding the Indenture Collateral as bailee in accordance with this Section 5.5(b) and delivering the Indenture Collateral upon a Discharge of Indenture Obligations as provided in paragraph (iv) below.

(iii) The Collateral Agent acting pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall not have by reason of the Collateral Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Indenture Claimholder, the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.

necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Priority Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Borrowers to the extent no Indenture Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Indenture Collateral).

(v) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long as the Discharge of Indenture Obligations has not occurred, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Indenture Collateral or Collateral within its “control” in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and other Second Lien Collateral Documents as if the Liens of the Second Priority Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders did not exist.

5.6. When Discharge of Super Priority Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any Super Priority Loan Document evidencing a Super Priority Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of Super Priority Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Super Priority Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the Super Priority Debt Notice is delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the Super Priority Loan Document shall automatically be treated as Super Priority 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 Super Priority Agent under such Super Priority Loan Documents shall be the Super Priority Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor and the Super Priority Agent (the “Super Priority Debt Notice”) stating that the U.S. Borrower or such other Grantor has entered into a new Super Priority Loan Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new Super Priority Agent, such agent, the “New Super Priority Agent”), each of the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the U.S. Borrower or such other Grantor or such New Super Priority Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Super Priority 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 Super Priority Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Super Priority Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Super Priority Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Super Priority Obligations under the new Super Priority Loan Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Indenture Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations, then the Indenture

Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Collateral Documents and a third priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Document, as the case may be, and this Agreement.

5.7. When Discharge of Indenture Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If concurrently with the Discharge of Indenture Obligations, the Borrowers or any other Grantor thereafter enter into any Refinancing of any Indenture Document evidencing an Indenture Obligation which Refinancing is permitted hereby, then such Discharge of Indenture Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of Indenture Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the Indenture Debt Notice is delivered to the Second Priority Agent in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the Indenture Document shall automatically be treated as Indenture 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 Collateral Agent under such Indenture Documents shall be the Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Borrower or any other Grantor and the Collateral Agent (the “Indenture Debt Notice”) stating that the Borrowers or such other Grantor have entered into a new Indenture Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new Collateral Agent, such agent, the “New Collateral Agent”), the Second Priority Agent shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Borrowers or such other Grantor or such New Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to the New Collateral 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 Collateral Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Collateral Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Second Priority Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new Indenture Obligations under the new Indenture Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then the Second Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a third priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Second Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

5.8. Purchase Right. (a) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any remedy of the Super Priority Claimholders, so long as a Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing, any of the Noteholders may, at their sole expense and effort, upon written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Super Priority Agent, require the Super Priority Claimholders to transfer and assign to such Noteholders, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the Super Priority Obligations; provided, that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, and (y) such Noteholders shall have paid to the Super Priority Agent, for the account of the Super Priority Claimholders, in immediately available funds, an amount (such amount, the “Super Priority Purchase Price”) equal to 100% of the

principal of such Indebtedness plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums (the “Super Priority Termination Fees”)) plus all the other Super Priority Obligations then outstanding (which shall include, with respect to (i) the aggregate face amount of the letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, an amount in cash equal to 105% thereof, (ii) each Swap Agreement, 100% of the aggregate amount of such Super Priority Obligations, after giving effect to any netting arrangements, that the applicable Borrower or Grantor would be required to pay if such Swap Agreement were terminated at such time, and (iii) each agreement that evidences any Super Priority Cash Management Obligations, 100% of the aggregate amount of such Super Priority Obligations).

In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Super Priority Agent shall calculate, upon the written request of the Trustee (acting at the direction of one or more Noteholders) from time to time, the amount in cash that would be necessary so to purchase the Super Priority Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) if one or more Second Lien Claimholders elect to exercise their purchase option under Section 5.8(b) below and give the notice provided for therein, each Noteholder that exercised its purchase option under this Section 5.8(a) shall be relieved of all of its obligations under this Section 5.8(a) and (B) if, at any time following the consummation of such transfer and assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations and the Discharge of Indenture Obligations (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the Indenture Obligations), the Noteholders recover any Super Priority Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the date of such transfer and assignment is consummated, they shall turn over such fees to the Super Priority Claimholders in the form and to the extent received.

(b) Without prejudice to the enforcement of any remedy of the Super Priority Claimholders or the Indenture Claimholders, upon the occurrence and continuation of the acceleration prior to maturity of the Super Priority Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Super Priority Loan Documents and of the Indenture Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture Documents, any Second Lien Claimholder may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice (which notice shall be irrevocable) to the Borrowers, the Super Priority Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Second Priority Agent, require the Super Priority Claimholders and the Indenture Claimholders to transfer and assign to such Second Lien Claimholders, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the Super Priority Obligations and Indenture Obligations; provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction, and (y) such Second Lien Claimholders shall have paid to the Super Priority Agent and the Trustee, for the account of the Super Priority Claimholders and the Indenture Claimholders,

in immediately available funds, an amount equal to, (x) in respect of the Super Priority Obligations, the Super Priority Purchase Price and, (y) in respect of the Indenture Obligations, 100% of the principal of such Indebtedness plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees (other than any prepayment penalties or premiums (the “Indenture Termination Fees”)) plus all other Super Priority Obligations and Indenture Obligations then outstanding. If the right set forth in this Section 5.8(b) is exercised, (1) the parties shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten Business Days of the notice set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.8(b) (or the Super Priority Claimholders shall no longer be required to transfer any such Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Claimholders shall no longer be required to transfer any such Indenture Obligations), (2) such purchase of the Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Obligations shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the Super Priority Agent, such Second Lien Claimholders, the Trustee (solely with respect to the Indenture Obligations owing to it) and a purchase agent appointed by the Noteholders, and (3) such Super Priority Obligations and such Indenture Obligations shall be purchased pro rata among the Second Lien Claimholders giving notice to the Second Priority Agent of their intent to exercise the purchase option hereunder according to such Second Lien Claimholders’ portion of the Second Lien Obligations outstanding on the date of purchase. In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Super Priority Agent and the Trustee will each calculate, upon the written request of the Second Priority Agent (acting at the direction of one or more Second Lien Claimholders) from time to time, the amount in cash that would be necessary so to purchase the Super Priority Obligations and/or the Indenture Obligations, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if, at any time following the consummation of such transfer and assignment and the occurrence of the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the Discharge of Indenture Obligations and the payment in full in cash of the Second Lien Obligations (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment of any fees that become due as a result of the prepayment or termination of the Second Lien Obligations), the Second Lien Claimholders recover any Super Priority Termination Fees or any Indenture Termination Fees prior to the first anniversary of the date of such transfer and assignment is consummated, they shall turn over such fees to the Super Priority Claimholders or the Indenture Claimholders, as applicable, in the form and to the extent received. In connection with any purchase of Indenture Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.8(b), the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Indenture Obligations (other than the amount necessary to purchase such obligations) and shall not be deemed to be participating in any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

6.1. Finance and Sale Issues. (a) Until the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations has occurred, if the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Super Priority Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the Super Priority Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Super Priority Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar

Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that (x) it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as (i) such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing is on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) the Collateral Agent and the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Priority Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests and (iii) (a) the DIP Financing does not compel the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document or (b) the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order and (y) it will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Super Priority Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3). To the extent the Liens securing the Super Priority Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) above, each of the Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Agent shall be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto).

(b) After the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations and until the Discharge of Indenture Obligations has occurred, if the Borrowers or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing then the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that (x) it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing so long as (i) such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing is on commercially reasonable terms, (ii) the Second Priority Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or arrangements regarding the Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are materially prejudicial to their interests and (iii) (A) the DIP Financing does not compel the Borrowers or any other Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or a related document or (B) the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order does not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to a default under the DIP Financing documentation or Cash Collateral order and (y) it will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3). To the extent the Liens securing the Indenture Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing which meets the requirements of clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Second Priority Agent shall be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto).

6.2. Relief from the Automatic Stay. (a) Until the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations has occurred, each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person

seeking) 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 Super Priority Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.

(b) After the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations and until the Discharge of Indenture Obligations has occurred, the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) 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 Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.

6.3. Adequate Protection. (a) Each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority 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 Super Priority Agent or the Super Priority Claimholders for adequate protection; or

(ii) any objection by the Super Priority Agent or the Super Priority Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Super Priority Agent or the Super Priority Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(b) the Second Priority 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 Collateral Agent or the Indenture Claimholders for adequate protection; or

(ii) any objection by the Collateral Agent or the Indenture Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Collateral Agent or the Indenture Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(i) if the Super Priority Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Super Priority Liens on the same basis as the other Liens

securing the Indenture Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Super Priority Obligations under this Agreement; and

(ii) in the event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Indenture Claimholders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of Indenture Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Indenture Claimholders, agrees that until the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the Super Priority Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Super Priority Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Super Priority Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Indenture Obligations shall be subordinated to the Super Priority Liens on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Indenture Obligations are so subordinated to such Super Priority Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Collateral Agent or the Indenture Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

(iii) if the Indenture Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Second Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Super Priority Liens and to the Indenture Liens on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv) in the event the Second Priority 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 Priority Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Super Priority Agent and the Collateral Agent shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Obligations and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Super Priority Claimholders and the Indenture Claimholders and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Second Lien Obligations shall be subordinated to the Super Priority Liens and to the Indenture Liens on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Super Priority Obligations and the Indenture Obligations under this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the

Second Priority Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

6.4. No Waiver. (a) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Super Priority Agent or any Super Priority Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or any of the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholders or by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection (except as provided in Section 6.3) or the asserting by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholders or by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Indenture Documents or Second Lien Loan Documents, respectively, or otherwise.

(b) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Priority Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of adequate protection (except as provided in Section 6.3) or the asserting by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.

6.5. Avoidance Issues. (a) If any Super Priority Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of Super Priority Obligations (a “Super Priority Recovery”), then such Super Priority Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Super Priority Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.

(b) If any Indenture Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Borrowers or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of Indenture Obligations (a “Indenture Recovery”), then such Indenture Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Indenture Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts.

(c) If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to a Super Priority Recovery or an Indenture 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.

6.6. Reorganization 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, all on account of Super Priority Obligations, on account of Indenture Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the

debt obligations distributed on account of the Super Priority Obligations, on account of the Indenture Obligations and on account of 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.

6.7. Post-Petition Interest. (a) None of the Collateral Agent, any Indenture Claimholder, the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Super Priority Agent or any Super Priority Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Super Priority Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any Super Priority Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b) None of the Super Priority Agent, any Super Priority Claimholder, the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Indenture Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the Super Priority Collateral).

(c) None of the Super Priority Agent, any Super Priority Claimholder, the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Priority Agent on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the Super Priority Collateral and the Indenture Collateral).

6.8. Waiver. (a) Each of the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Super Priority Claimholder arising out of the election of any Super Priority Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/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.

(b) The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Indenture Claimholder arising out of the election of any Indenture Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/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.

6.9. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Super Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Super Priority Claimholders, acknowledge and agree that: (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Super Priority Collateral Documents, the Collateral Documents and the Second Lien Collateral Documents constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens; and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations, the Indenture Obligations and the Super Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from each other 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 (i) the claims of any two or three of the class of Super Priority Claimholders, the class of Indenture Claimholders and the class of Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior, junior and subordinated secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior, junior and subordinated secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose (x) ignoring all claims held by the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders, with respect to payments to the Super Priority Claimholders and (y) ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to payments to the Indenture Claimholders), (A) the Super Priority Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Revolving Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, and (B) after such payments to the Super Priority Claimholders, the Indenture Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Indenture, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with each of the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Super Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Super Priority Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Indenture Claimholders or the Second Lien Claimholders, as applicable; or (ii) after the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the claims of the Indenture Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than

separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders), the Indenture Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts otherwise distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Indenture, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Second Priority Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Indenture Claimholders, amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence (with respect to the payment of post-petition interest), even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Lien Claimholders.

SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

7.1. Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the Super Priority Agent, on behalf of itself and the Super Priority Claimholders under its Super Priority Loan Documents, acknowledges that it and such Super Priority Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Agent or any Indenture Claimholder or the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Super Priority Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Revolving Credit Agreement or this Agreement.

7.3. No Waiver of Lien Priorities. (a) (i) No right of the Super Priority Claimholders, the Super Priority Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any Super Priority Loan Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the U.S. Borrower or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any Super Priority Claimholder or the Super Priority Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Super Priority Loan Documents, any of the Indenture Documents or any of the Second Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Super Priority Agent or the Super Priority Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.

8.1. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Super Priority Loan Documents, the Indenture Documents or the Second Lien Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

8.2. Effectiveness; Continuing Nature of this Agreement; Severability. (a) This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties hereto.

(b) This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Super Priority Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Collateral Agent, any Indenture Claimholder subject to the Indenture Documents, the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien 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 Super Priority Obligations in reliance hereof. Each of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Indenture Claimholders, and the Second Priority 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.

(c) This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and, after the Discharge of Super Priority Obligations, the Indenture Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Priority Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Loan Documents, to extend credit and other financial

(d) The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(ii) with respect to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Indenture Claimholders and the Indenture Obligations, on the date of Discharge of Indenture Obligations, subject to the rights of the Indenture Claimholders under Section 6.5; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not 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 are directly affected (which includes, but is not limited to any amendment to the Grantors’ ability to cause additional obligations to constitute Super Priority Obligations, Indenture Obligations or Second Lien Obligations as the Borrowers may designate or any amendment in respect of Section 5.1 that imposes additional conditions or requirements to effect a release of Collateral or any amendment in respect of Section 5.3 that imposes additional conditions or requirements to adopt modifications of the Super Priority Loan Documents, Indenture Documents or Second Lien Loan Documents, as the case may be).
