pursuant to or as a result of such Liens shall in any event be subject to Section 4.1), and Second Priority Representative acknowledges that if First Priority Representative obtains a Lien on such asset, whether prior to or after the time that Second Priority Representative obtains a Lien on such asset, then the priority of such Lien will be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. First Priority Representative, for itself and on behalf of the First Priority Lenders, acknowledges and agrees that Second Priority Representative has been granted Liens upon all of the Common Collateral in which First Priority Representative has been granted Liens and First Priority Representative hereby consents thereto. If (i) any Credit Party grants in favor of First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party a Lien on any asset of such Credit Party not constituting Common Collateral on the date hereof (or subsequent thereto as a post-closing item set forth in the Existing Second Priority Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof) or (ii) First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party otherwise obtains a non-consensual lien (including a judgment lien, writ of attachment or writ of execution) on any asset of any Credit Party not constituting Common Collateral on the date hereof, First Priority Representative agrees that it shall give Second Priority Representative prompt written notice thereof (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date First Priority Representative has actual knowledge of such grant), containing a detailed description of such asset (it being understood and agreed that the failure by First Priority Representative to give such notice to Second Priority Representative shall not affect the validity, perfection or enforceability of such Lien), and First Priority Representative acknowledges that if Second Priority Representative obtains a Lien on such asset, whether prior to or after the time that First Priority Representative obtains a Lien on such asset, then the priority of such Lien will be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 3. Enforcement Rights.

3.1 Exclusive Enforcement. Until the earlier of the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date or the expiration or other termination of the then current Standstill Period, whether or not an Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Credit Party, the First Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to take, continue, oppose, or otherwise prosecute, defend, settle or consent to any Enforcement Action, without any consultation with or consent of any Second Priority Secured Party, and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall not take any position contrary to the First Priority Secured Parties, or support any other Person who takes any position contrary to the First Priority Secured Parties, with respect to such Enforcement Action (it being understood that any Second Priority Secured Party, notwithstanding the foregoing, may (i) at any time demand payment of amounts then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Second Priority Agreement (other than as a result of an acceleration subsequent to an event of default under the Second Priority Agreement) and pursue unsecured lender remedies with regard to any such payments not made under the Second Priority Agreement, (ii) after the expiration of the Standstill Period, demand payment for or accelerate the payment of the Second Priority Loans in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents, (iii) file a proof of claim or statement of interest, (iv) file all necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claims, proceedings or pleadings made by any Person objecting to or seeking disallowance of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties, including claims secured by the Common Collateral, and (v) make any filings, arguments or motions or take other actions to preserve or protect its Liens on the Collateral or any other rights, including to stay any statute of limitations). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of

a First Priority Default, the First Priority Representative and the other First Priority Secured Parties may take and continue any Enforcement Action with respect to the First Priority Obligations and the Common Collateral in such order and manner as they may determine in their sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Lenders shall have extended loans, credit accommodations or other financial accommodations under the First Priority Documents in excess of the First Priority Obligations (such excess, an "Overadvance"), and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall have occurred (notwithstanding that an Overadvance remains outstanding under the First Priority Documents), the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall not prevent the Second Priority Representative and/or the Second Priority Lenders from pursuing any remedies available to it or them as secured or unsecured lenders with regard to the Common Collateral and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1 hereof, the Liens in the Common Collateral held by the Second Priority Representative securing the Second Priority Obligations shall thereafter be senior and prior to the remaining claims of the First Priority Secured Parties with regard to any Overadvance outstanding under the First Priority Documents.

3.2 Remedies Standstill. At any time that a Standstill Period is in effect, Second Priority Representative shall not, without the prior written consent of First Priority Representative, exercise any remedies other than those specifically listed in Section 3.1. In addition, Second Priority Representative may not take any Enforcement Action so long as First Priority Representative or Second Priority Representative are enjoined from any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, in each case, unless and until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall have occurred. After the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the Second Priority Representative may take any Enforcement Action. Second Priority Representative may not exercise any remedies without first providing First Priority Representative at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice stating its intent to exercise remedies and referring to this Section (a "Notice of Intent to Exercise"), it being understood that if First Priority Representative does not deliver a Standstill Notice to Second Priority Representative by the end of such five (5) Business Day period, Second Priority Representative may proceed with the exercise of the remedies listed in such Notice of Intent to Exercise subject to the other provisions hereof; provided, that Second Priority Representative shall not be required to provide a Notice of Intent to Exercise to First Priority Representative in connection with a permitted Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies upon termination of a Standstill Period, but shall prior to the First Priority Obligations Payment Date provide a written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to taking any Enforcement Action not listed in a Notice of Intent to Exercise previously delivered to the First Priority Representative.

3.3 Limitation on Standstill Periods. In no event shall a Standstill Period extend beyond the earlier of (i) 180 consecutive days from the date of receipt by Second Priority Representative from First Priority Representative of a Standstill Notice initiating such Standstill Period and (ii) the First Priority Obligation Payment Date. Any number of notices of First Priority Default may be given during a Standstill Period, but no such notice shall extend such Standstill Period. No subsequent Standstill Period may be commenced within 180 days after the termination of the immediately preceding Standstill Period. No First Priority Default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Standstill Period and that was known or with reasonable diligence could have been known to First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement of a

subsequent Standstill Period, unless such First Priority Default has been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days.

3.4 Foreclosure Proceedings. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of: (i) any First Priority Lender or Second Priority Lender to bid for or purchase Common Collateral at any private or judicial foreclosure upon such Common Collateral initiated by a First Priority Secured Party, (ii) any Second Priority Secured Party to join (but not control) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Common Collateral initiated by a First Priority Secured Party, except to the extent that any such action could reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder, limit or delay for any material period the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by First Priority Secured Parties, or (iii) any Second Priority Secured Party to receive payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement from the Proceeds of the Common Collateral.

3.5 Rights as a Creditor. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representative, may provided a Standstill Period is not in effect (x) following the occurrence of and during the continuation of an "Event of Default" under and as defined in the Existing Second Priority Agreement, exercise rights and remedies, as a creditor and retain any amounts obtained in respect of the Second Priority Obligations, except to the extent such amounts constitute Common Collateral or Proceeds of Common Collateral, and (y) file any pleadings, objections or motions, appear in any proceeding and exercise rights and remedies, as unsecured creditors of the Credit Parties, arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law.

3.6 Judgment Creditors. In the event that any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Common Collateral 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 First Priority Liens and the First Priority Obligations) to the same extent as all other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subject to the terms of this Agreement.

3.7 Cooperation. Prior to the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that it shall take such actions reasonably required to be performed by such parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or of the Second Priority Documents as the First Priority Representative shall reasonably request in connection with the exercise by the First Priority Secured Parties of their rights set forth herein; provided, that such actions shall be at the Credit Parties' sole cost and expense, to the extent required pursuant to any First Priority Document or any Second Priority Document, but as between the First Priority Representative and the Second Priority Representative and other Second Priority Secured Parties, the latter shall be obligated to perform their obligations under this Section 3.7 and any other provision of this Agreement and to otherwise cooperate with the First Priority Representative whether or not they have received reimbursement of their costs from the Credit Parties.

3.8 No Additional Rights For the Credit Parties Hereunder. If any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a

defense to any action by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party.

3.9 Waivers. Subject to the rights retained by the Second Priority Secured Parties pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.5, 5.1 and any other applicable provision set forth in this Agreement, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred (and other than with respect to any Overadvance):

(a) they will not take or cause to be taken any action, the purpose or effect of which is to make any Lien in respect of any Second Priority Obligation pari passu with or senior to, or to give any Second Priority Secured party any preference or priority relative to, the Liens with respect to the First Priority Obligations or the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to any of the Common Collateral;

(b) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, they will not contest, oppose, object to, interfere with, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings (including without limitation the filing of an Insolvency Proceeding) or otherwise, any foreclosure, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral by any First Priority Secured Party or any other Enforcement Action taken (or any forbearance from taking any Enforcement Action) by or on behalf of any First Priority Secured Party;

(c) they have no right to (i) direct either the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or (ii) consent or object to the exercise by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents or to the timing or manner in which any such right is exercised or not exercised (or, to the extent they may have any such right described in this clause (c), whether as a junior lien creditor or otherwise, they hereby irrevocably waive such right); and

(d) they will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency proceeding or other Proceeding any claim against any First Priority Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of special performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to, and no First Priority Secured Party shall be liable for, any action taken or omitted to be taken by any First Priority Secured Party with respect to the Common Collateral or pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents.

3.10 Actions Upon Breach. Should any Second Priority Secured Party or First Priority Secured Party in any way take, attempt to or threaten to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) which is in violation of this Agreement, or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Credit Party), this Agreement shall create an irrebutable presumption and admission by such Person that relief against such Person by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the other parties hereto, it being understood and

agreed by the Second Priority Representative on behalf of each Second Priority Secured Party and First Priority Representative on behalf of each First Priority Secured Party that (i) the damages from actions in breach of this Agreement may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) each Second Priority Secured Party and First Priority Secured Party waives any defense that any Credit Party and/or the other parties hereof and beneficiaries hereof cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages.

SECTION 4. Application Of Proceeds Of Common Collateral; Dispositions And Releases Of Common Collateral; Insurance.

4.1 Application of Proceeds; Turnover Provisions. All Proceeds of Common Collateral (including without limitation any interest earned thereon) resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of Common Collateral whether or not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding, shall be distributed as follows: first until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, to the First Priority Representative for application to the First Priority Obligations then outstanding in accordance with the terms of the First Priority Documents; second, to the Second Priority Representative for application in accordance with the Second Priority Documents and; third, to the payment of any other obligations to the First Priority Secured Parties. Until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, any Common Collateral, including without limitation any such Common Collateral constituting Proceeds, that may be received by any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party in violation of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Priority Representative, for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties, or to the Second Priority Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties, as the case may be, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, and each First Priority Secured Party and Second Priority Secured Party hereby authorizes the Second Priority Representative and the First Priority Representative, respectively to make any such endorsements as its agent (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

4.2 Releases of Second Priority Lien and Lien for Overadvance. (a) In the event of any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Common Collateral by First Priority Representative after the occurrence and during the continuance of a First Priority Default (and prior to the date upon which the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall have occurred) in connection with the liquidation by First Priority Representative of any Common Collateral and the collection by First Priority Representative of the First Priority Obligations through the sale or other disposition of such Common Collateral (any such sale, a "First Priority Lender Sale"), Second Priority Representative agrees that such First Priority Lender Sale will be free and clear of the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations (and, if the First Priority Lender Sale includes Equity Interests in any Credit Party, Second Priority Representative further agrees to release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all Second Priority Obligations); provided, that (x) First Priority Representative and the First Priority Lenders also release their Liens on such Common Collateral (and, if the First Priority Lender Sale includes Equity Interests in any Credit Party, the entities whose Equity Interests are sold are released from all First Priority Obligations) and (y) the Proceeds of any such First Priority Lender Sale are applied in accordance with Section 4.1.

release the entities whose Equity Interests are sold from all First Priority Obligations); provided, that (x) Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Lenders also release their Liens on such Common Collateral (and, if the Forced Second Priority Credit Party Sale includes Equity Interests in any Credit Party, the entities whose Equity Interests are sold are released from all Second Priority Obligations), (y) the Proceeds of any such Forced Second Priority Credit Party Sale are applied in accordance with Section 4.1, and (z) the Credit Party conducting such Forced Second Priority Credit Party Sale shall have conducted such Forced Second Priority Credit Party Sale in a commercially reasonable manner given the fact that such sale is in the context of a workout.

5.4 General Waivers. (a) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Lenders, agrees that it shall not without First Priority Representative's written consent take any action or vote in any way so as to directly or indirectly challenge or contest (A) the validity or the enforceability of the Existing First Priority Agreement, the other First Priority Documents or the liens and security interests granted to First Priority Representative and the First Priority Lenders with respect to the First Priority Obligations, (B) the rights and duties of First Priority Representative and the First Priority Lenders established in the Existing First Priority Agreement or any other First Priority Document, or (C) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

5.5 Insolvency Proceeding Waivers:

(a) Until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date has occurred, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Lenders, agrees it shall not without the First Priority Representative consent (i) seek or request any adequate protection, other than (A) Adequate Protection Liens and Permitted Replacement Liens and (B) priority

administrative expense claim status with respect to the Second Priority Obligations which is and shall be subject to this Agreement to the extent applicable, (ii) in the event that First Priority Representative obtains relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision) in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies and First Priority Representative has commenced and is diligently pursuing in good faith actions to consummate a sale of all or any material portion of the Common Collateral in accordance with Section 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision) within a commercially reasonable time and in a commercially reasonable manner so as to maximize the value of such Common Collateral, seek, or acquiesce in any request, to dismiss any Insolvency Proceeding or to convert an Insolvency Proceeding under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) in the event that First Priority Representative obtains relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision) in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies, seek the appointment of a trustee or examiner with expanded powers for any Credit Party, or (iv) object to any sale of all or any portion of the Common Collateral in accordance with Sections 363 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision) other than (A) any objection that an unsecured creditor could assert or (B) if First Priority Representative or any First Priority Lender objects to any such sale.

(b) First Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the First Priority Lenders, agrees that it will raise no objection to a request for Post Petition Interest and/or adequate protection by Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Lenders in the form of payment of interest on the Second Priority Obligations during the pendency of an Insolvency Proceeding, so long as (x) the rate of interest so requested by Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Lenders does not exceed the default rate of interest applicable to the Second Priority Obligations immediately prior to the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding and (y) the First Priority Representative has not made a good faith determination that the net proceeds from a liquidation of the Common Collateral (after deduction of costs and amounts, if any, that in the reasonable judgment of the First Priority Representative may have to be paid to satisfy claims for participations and residuals) is less than the sum of the claims (other than the Overadvance, if any) under the First Priority Agreement then outstanding plus the then outstanding amount of the Second Priority Obligations.

5.6 Avoidance Issues. (a) If any First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party Proceeds of Common Collateral (including any such Proceeds used to reduce the Cap Amount in accordance with the definition of such term), because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer or was required to be paid to a debtor in possession, any Second Priority Secured Party, receiver or similar person (a "First Priority Recovery"), then the First Priority Obligations (including any such amount subtracted from the Cap Amount) shall be reinstated to the extent of such First Priority Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such First Priority 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. The Second Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled

to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

(b) If any Second Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party Proceeds of Common Collateral because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including without limitation because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer or was required to be paid to a debtor in possession, any First Priority Secured Party, receiver or similar person (a "Second Priority Recovery"), then the Second Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Second Priority Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Second Priority 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. The First Priority Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.

(c) From and after the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, to the extent there exists any Overadvance, no Second Priority Secured Party shall take any action (i) to contest or invalidate any lien securing any such Overadvance (other than the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement) or (ii) to alter the payment priority specified in Section 4.1.

5.7 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Second Priority Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents and the Second Priority Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Priority Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.

5.8 Other Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent that the Second Priority Representative or any Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of the Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, not to assert any of such rights without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that if requested by the First Priority Representative, the Second Priority Representative shall, at the Credit Parties' sole cost and expense, to the extent required under the Second Priority Documents, timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Priority Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights; provided further that (i) the Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations shall attach to any Proceeds resulting from actions taken by the First

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if the Second Priority Lenders receive under or pursuant to any such plan of reorganization any Distribution consisting of Reorganization Securities secured by Liens on any property of any Credit Party, then the Second Priority Secured Parties agree to enter into such supplements to or modifications to this Agreement as the First Priority Representative may reasonably request to reflect the continued subordination of the Liens securing such Reorganization Securities to Liens securing the First Priority Obligations (or notes, instruments or other securities issued in substitution or satisfaction of all or a portion thereof) to the same extent as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) a Second Priority Lender shall not be entitled to receive under or pursuant to any such plan of reorganization any Distribution consisting of cash, cash equivalents or marketable securities (other than Reorganization Securities) on account of such Second Priority Lender's secured claim if the First Priority Obligations are not being paid in cash in full on the effective date of such plan (any Distributions (other than Reorganization Securities) described in this subsection (ii), a �Prohibited Plan

Each Second Priority Secured Party also irrevocably authorizes and empowers the First Priority Representative, in the name of such Second Priority Secured Party, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all of its Prohibited Plan Distributions.
