2.1 Subordination; Etc. 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, any other applicable law, this Agreement, the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents to the contrary, or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, and each other Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents) 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 Agent or any First Lien Creditor 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; (b) any Lien on the Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any Second Lien Claimholder 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, and (c) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or effect of which is, or could be, to make any Lien securing the Second Lien Obligations pari passu with, or to give the Second Lien Collateral Agent or Second Lien Claimholders any preference or priority relative to, any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof. 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, whether or not such Liens securing any First Lien Obligations are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that (i) the First Lien Obligations (and the security therefor) constitute a separate and distinct class (and separate and distinct claims) from the Second Lien Obligations (and the security therefor) and (ii) the grant of Liens securing payment and performance of the First Lien Obligations and the grant of Liens securing payment and performance of the Second Lien Obligations

are two separate grants and create two separate and distinct Liens with each such Lien securing only the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, as the case may be. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that, after the date hereof, the Grantors are required to grant a mortgage or deed of trust to the First Lien Agent and/or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Grantors will grant separate mortgages and/or deeds of trust to each of the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent to secure their respective, separate claims.

Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Creditor, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge or contest, or support any other Person in contesting or challenging, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity or enforceability of any Security Document or any Obligation thereunder, (ii) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens, mortgages, assignments and security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents with respect to the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations or (iii) the relative rights and duties of the holders of the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations granted and established in this Agreement or any other Security Document with respect to such Liens, mortgages, assignments, and security interests; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Agent or, to the extent provided in Section 3, any First Lien Creditor to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Section 2.1 hereof.

(a) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that the Parent shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor or Subsidiary to, grant or permit any additional Liens, or take any action to perfect any Liens, on any asset or property to secure any Second Lien Obligation unless it has also granted or contemporaneously grants to the First Lien Agent a Lien on such asset or property to secure the First Lien Obligations and has taken or is contemporaneously taking all actions to perfect such Liens in favor of the First Lien Agent; provided that the Parent shall provide notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent if the First Lien Agent has been granted a security interest or becomes perfected with respect to any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure the First Lien Obligations, and in such event, the Parent or such other Grantor or Subsidiary, as applicable, shall contemporaneously grant such additional Liens, or take such additional action (other than delivery of possession of any Collateral or control over any Collateral that is not required to be subject to control pursuant to Second Lien Security Documents) as is necessary to perfect any Liens so granted, in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Creditors, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Claimholders, and each other Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Person and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Second Lien Document (x) hold and be deemed to have held such Lien for the benefit of the First Lien Agent as security for the First Lien Obligations (and all amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of the Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be

subject to Section 4.2) and (y) at the request of the First Lien Agent, either assign such Lien to the First Lien Agent to secure the First Lien Obligations (in which case the Second Lien Collateral Agent will retain a second-priority lien on such assets subject to the terms of this Agreement) or release such Lien. All proceeds of such additional Collateral shall in any event be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) The First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent acknowledge and agree that (i) as of the date hereof, neither the First Lien Agent nor the Second Lien Collateral Agent is requiring the Parent or any other Grantor to provide to the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent a perfected Lien on Real Property (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or motor vehicles or other equipment covered by certificates of title or ownership owned or leased by the Parent or any other Grantor (such Real Property and motor vehicles or other equipment covered by certificates of title or ownership, herein, the “Title Assets”), provided, however, that the First Lien Agent has the right at certain times, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the First Lien Security Agreement, to require the Parent and each other Grantor to deliver to the First Lien Agent titles to non-Real Property Titled Assets and mortgages or deeds of trust with respect to Real Property (and take such other steps as may be reasonably requested by the First Lien Agent) in order to provide the First Lien Agent, for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors, a perfected, first-priority security interest in such Title Assets, and (ii) there may be certain other limited assets of the Grantors that constitute Non-Collateral Assets at a particular time of reference. In connection therewith, the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent further acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the First Lien Agent exercises its rights to perfect a Lien in all or any portion of the Title Assets or any other Non-Collateral Asset, then (i) with respect to the Title Assets, from and after the date upon which the title to any motor vehicle or other equipment covered by certificates of title or ownership is delivered to the First Lien Agent (or the Control Agent) or any mortgage or deed of trust is recorded on any Real Property, such equipment or Real Property shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof and shall no longer be Title Assets hereunder and (ii) with respect to any other Non-Collateral Asset, from and after the date upon which the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent takes steps to perfect its Lien therein, such other Non-Collateral Asset (or the applicable portion thereof) shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof and shall no longer be Non-Collateral Assets hereunder. Upon the perfection of its Lien in any Title Asset or other Non-Collateral Asset, by the First Lien Agent, the Parent or applicable Grantor shall grant to the Second Lien Collateral Agent a Lien on such Title Asset or other Non-Collateral Asset and cooperate with the Second Lien Collateral Agent in order to perfect such Lien in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, with any such Lien to be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be subordinate to the Lien in such Collateral in favor of the First Lien Agent on the same basis as the other Liens securing the First Lien Obligations.

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the Second Lien Collateral shall not be more expansive than, and shall be, except to the extent provided herein, identical to, the First Lien Collateral; provided, that with respect to any Second Lien Obligations the Second Lien Collateral shall not include a Lien on any First Lien Collateral that is specifically excluded from the Second Lien Security Documents with respect to such Second Lien Obligations (including, for example and without limitation, securities of Subsidiaries included in the First Lien Collateral to the extent a Lien in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent thereon would require the filing of financial statements with the Securities

and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended). In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9 hereof, the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Claimholders) agrees, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

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

(ii) that any Subsidiary of the Parent that is a Guarantor under the Guaranty each as defined in the Credit Agreement shall also be a guarantor of the Second Lien Obligations and each Subsidiary of the Parent that is a guarantor of the Second Lien Obligations shall also be a Guarantor under the Guaranty each as defined in the Credit Agreement.

(a) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Parent or any other Grantor: (i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) as a secured creditor with respect to any Collateral (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right under any lockbox agreement, control account 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 holds a perfected interest through the Control Agent) or institute or commence, or join with any Person in commencing, any action or proceeding against the Parent or any other Grantor with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution), and will not contest, protest, seek to enjoin or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor or any other exercise by the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor, of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Credit Documents or otherwise, or contest, protest, seek to enjoin or object to the forbearance by the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral; and (ii) the First Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder; provided, that, (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Parent or any other Grantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent may file a proof of 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 prior Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights, remedies and claims of the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors) in order to preserve, perfect or protect its Lien on the Collateral in a manner not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (C) the Second Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to file any necessary responsive

or defensive pleading 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 claim secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in a manner not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and not adverse to the prior Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations or the rights, remedies and claims of the First Lien Agent or other First Lien Creditor and (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 Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case subject to the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.4 hereof) and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Creditors may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Credit 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 of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy 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 setoff 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 Agent pursuant to Section 4.2, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral are limited to the right to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Lien Security Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein, to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and to exercise only such other rights as are expressly permitted herein.

(c) Subject to the proviso in clause (ii) of Section 3.1(a), the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, and each other Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), (i) agrees that the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would enjoin, hinder, delay, limit or prohibit any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Credit Documents, including any collection, sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or that would limit, invalidate, avoid or set aside any Lien or First Lien Security Document or subordinate the priority of the First Lien Obligations to the Second Lien Obligations or grant the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations equal ranking to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or under any other law) to object to the manner in which the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the First Lien Collateral, regardless of whether any action or

failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agent or First Lien Creditors is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders.

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

(a) If any Second Lien Claimholder, contrary to this Agreement, commences or participates in any action or proceeding against any Grantor with respect to the Collateral or against the Collateral, any First Lien Creditor may intervene and interpose as a defense or dilatory plea the making of this Agreement, in its name or in the name of such Grantor.

(b) Should any Second Lien Claimholder, contrary to this Agreement, in any way take, attempt to 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 take any other action in violation of this Agreement or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, the First Lien Agent (in its own name or in the name of the relevant Grantor), or any other First Lien Creditor with the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, (i) may obtain relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction, specific performance or other appropriate equitable relief, it being understood and agreed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder that (x) the First Lien Creditors’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (y) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that the First Lien Creditors cannot demonstrate damage or can be made whole by the awarding of damages, and (ii) shall be entitled to damages from the Second Lien Claimholders, as well as reimbursement for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with any action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, any proceeds of any Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of any Security Document or the exercise of any remedial provision thereunder, together with all other proceeds of Collateral received by any Creditor (including all funds received in respect of post-petition interest or fees and expenses) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provision or as a result of any distribution of or in respect of any Collateral or under a plan of reorganization upon or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to any Grantor, or the application of any Collateral (or proceeds thereof) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or proceeds thereof) upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Grantor, shall be applied by the First Lien Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Credit Document. Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent any proceeds of Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Second Lien Collateral Agent

to the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second Lien Security Documents.

4.2 Payment Turnover. Until such time as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (including any distribution in respect of the Collateral) received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff or recoupment) relating to the Collateral or that is otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any such other Second Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(i) the exercise of the First Lien Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral provided for in Section 3.1 hereof, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any such Collateral; or

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral permitted or not prohibited under the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents and the Second Lien Documents, whether by its terms or pursuant to any amendment thereto or consent or waiver thereunder;

there occurs the release by the First Lien Agent of any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral (each, a “First Lien Release”), then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and for the benefit of the other Second Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released, and, upon receipt of notice in writing from the First Lien Agent, together with the opinion of counsel and officers’ certificate, if any, provided for in the Second Lien Notes Indenture that all conditions precedent in the Second Lien Security Documents and Second Lien Notes Indenture have been complied with, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Agent or such Grantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Agent or such Grantor may request, and/or which the Grantor has provided to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, to effectively confirm such release; provided, however, that (i) if the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are released in connection with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (without a contemporaneous incurrence of new or replacement First Lien Obligations), the Second-Priority Liens on the Collateral will not be required to be released (except to the extent the Collateral or any portion thereof was disposed of or otherwise transferred or used in order to repay the First Lien Obligations secured by the Collateral) and (ii) any release effected or occasioned by the terms of this Section 5.1 by

Second Lien Collateral Agent of any Lien in favor of Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders shall not extend to or otherwise affect any of the rights of Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder arising under the Second Lien Documents to any proceeds of any disposition of any Collateral occurring in connection with such First Lien Release; provided that such rights to such proceeds shall be subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the case of the sale of capital stock of a Subsidiary or any other transaction resulting in the release of such Subsidiary as a Guarantor under the Guaranty as defined in the Credit Agreement in accordance with the Credit Agreement (whether by its terms or pursuant to any amendment thereto or consent or waiver thereunder), the guarantee in favor of the Second Lien Claimholders, if any, made by such Subsidiary will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Subsidiary is released and discharged as a Borrower under the First Lien Credit Documents.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such other Second Lien Claimholder or in the First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

5.2 Insurance. The First Lien Agent (on behalf of the First Lien Creditors) shall be named as first loss payee under all insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor (other than liability policies) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders) shall be named as the second loss payee on such policies of insurance. The First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be named additional insureds on all liability insurance policies maintained from time to time by any Grantor. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject only to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Credit Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding (or any deed in lieu of condemnation) affecting the Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Security Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents (including, without limitation, for purposes of cash collateralization of commitments, Letters of Credit, and Secured Hedge Agreements) and, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second Lien Claimholders (in respect of any Collateral) to the extent required under the Second Lien Security Documents (and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Second Lien Documents) and then, to the extent no Second Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, to such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction

may otherwise direct. If the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder shall, at any time, receive from the insurer any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, no Second Lien Document may be amended, restated, supplemented, modified or Refinanced or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement, restatement, modification or Refinancing, or the terms of any new Second Lien Document, would contravene the provisions or intent of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other First Lien Credit Document (it being understood that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may rely upon an opinion of counsel to the Parent to make any determination as to whether the requirements of this Section 5.3 have been complied with). The Parent, each other Grantor and the Second Lien Collateral Agent each agree that each Second Lien Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of certain rights and remedies by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subordinated and subject to the provisions of that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Salem Communications Corporation, the other Grantors from time to time party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the initial First Lien Agent, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., in its capacity as the initial Second Lien Collateral Agent thereunder. 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.”

In addition, the Parent, each other Grantor and the Second Lien Collateral Agent each agree that each Second Lien Security Document from time to time on or after the date hereof covering any Collateral constituting real property shall contain such other language as the First Lien Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Second Lien Security Document to the First Lien Security Document covering such Collateral.

(b) In the event the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors and the relevant Grantor(s) enter into any amendment, restatement, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agent, the other First Lien Creditors, the Parent or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, restatement, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Security Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the other Second Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Parent or any other Grantor, provided that (A) any such amendment, restatement, waiver or consent that is prejudicial to the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders and does not affect the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Comparable Second Lien Security Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, it being agreed that any release contemplated by Section 5.1 hereof shall be deemed not to be prejudicial

to the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders, and (B) written notice of such amendment, restatement, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Second Lien Collateral Agent (although the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect the effectiveness of any such amendment, waiver or consent). Nothing in this clause (b) is intended to, or shall have the effect of, modifying or waiving the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under Section 7.2 or 7.7 of the Second Lien Notes Indenture and no amendment, restatement, waiver or consent that adversely affects the rights, protections and immunities of the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be of any effect without the written consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent.

(c) The Second Lien Obligations may be Refinanced, in whole or in part and without the consent of the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Creditors, to the extent such Refinancing is permitted pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents, and the terms of this Agreement shall continue to apply to such Refinancing.

5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law, it being agreed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) that the waivers and other agreements made herein by the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) shall bind it (and each of the Second Lien Claimholders) in their capacity as an unsecured creditor. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (and subject in any event to any lien subordination provisions in the Second Lien Notes Indenture and the other Second Lien Documents), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder of payments on the Second Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not (i) the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor with respect to the Collateral (including setoff or recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them or (ii) otherwise in contravention of this Agreement. In the event the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of any enforcement of its rights, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing First Lien Obligations under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

(a) The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors, 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 from time to time, the “Control Agent”) for the limited purpose of acting

as the agent on behalf of the First Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) with respect to the Possessory Collateral and all, if any, Collateral consisting of Motor Vehicles, deposit accounts, securities accounts or commodity accounts (the “Control Assets”), solely for purposes of perfecting the Liens of such parties on the Possessory Collateral and such Control Assets. The Control Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to hold the Possessory Collateral and any Control Assets 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 Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors) 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 Possessory Collateral or Control Assets, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(b) With respect to any and all filings or recordings by or in favor of First Lien Agent or Control Agent made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office against any Grantor’s intellectual property which constitutes Collateral, First Lien Agent or Control Agent, as applicable, agrees to act under such filings and recordings, to the extent filings or recordings of such type and character are necessary to obtain perfection of a Lien in such intellectual property, and to hold such Liens as agent and bailee for the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each Second Lien Claimholder, and their respective successors and assigns, solely for the purpose of achieving the perfection of such Liens granted in such intellectual property to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to the Second Lien Security Documents, subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Control Agent, the First Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors) and the Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) each hereby agrees that the First Lien Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to give instructions to, and otherwise direct, the Control Agent in respect of the Possessory Collateral and the Control Assets (such instructions and directions to be consistent with this Agreement) and shall be entitled to deal with the Possessory Collateral and the Control Assets in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents as if the Liens of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Security Documents did not exist. 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 Agent’s rights under the First Lien Credit Documents 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 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 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 on the same terms that the First Lien Creditors are required to do so for the First Lien Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Claimholders are required to do so for the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the Second Lien Documents.

(d) The Control Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder, including, without limitation, any obligation to assure that any of the Possessory Collateral or the Control Assets is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5. In acting on behalf of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders and the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Creditors, the duties or responsibilities of the Control Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely (i) to physically holding or controlling (to the extent physical delivery has been made or control has been effected and has not been terminated by the applicable depository bank or securities intermediary) the Possessory Collateral or Control Assets delivered to the Control Agent by any Grantor as agent for the First Lien Agent (on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors) 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 Agent and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and (ii) delivering such collateral as set forth in Section 5.5(e).

(e) Neither the Control Agent nor the First Lien Agent shall have by reason of the Second Lien Documents (including, without limitation, the Second Lien Security Documents), the First Lien Credit Documents (including, without limitation, the First Lien Security Documents), this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship or any fiduciary duties in respect of the First Lien Creditors, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder.

(f) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the Control Agent shall deliver whatever Possessory Collateral or Control Assets it has in its possession (if any) (or proceeds thereof) together with any necessary endorsements, first, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or as the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall otherwise lawfully direct (solely to the extent such Possessory Collateral or Control Assets constitute Collateral), if any Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Parent or the relevant Grantor if no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral and Control Assets). The Control Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by such Person, at such Person’s sole cost and expense, in connection with such Person’s obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Without limiting the foregoing, upon Discharge of First Lien Obligations, at the request of the Parent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the Control Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly deliver an appropriate termination or other notice confirming such Discharge of First Lien Obligations to the applicable depositary bank, issuer of uncertificated securities or securities intermediary, if any, with respect to deposit account collateral, money market mutual fund or similar collateral, or securities account collateral.

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

direct and the First Lien Agent shall accept and succeed to the role of the Control Agent with respect to the Possessory Collateral and Control Assets.

5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs contemporaneously with any Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations, or if the Grantors subsequently incur First Lien Obligations, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, and the obligations under such Refinancing or subsequent First Lien Obligations 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 agent under the First Lien Credit Documents evidencing or relating to such Refinancing shall be the First Lien Agent for all purposes of this Agreement (and, if there is no agent relating to such Refinancing, any lender, bank, or financial institution holding any obligations thereunder shall be deemed First Lien Agent for all purposes hereunder). Upon receipt of an officers’ certificate (as defined in the Second Lien Notes Indenture) stating that the Parent or other Grantors have entered into Refinancing of the First Lien Obligations (which certificate shall include the identity of the new agent, such agent, the “New Agent” and state that the Refinancing is permitted under the Indenture), the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Parent or such New Agent may 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. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First Lien Credit Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors of the type constituting First Lien Collateral that do not also secure the Second Lien Obligations, then 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 Second Lien Documents with respect to the other First Lien Collateral. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such reinstatement until it receives written notice from the First Lien Agent, New Agent or the Parent of the occurrence of such reinstatement.

(a) Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Parent or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Agent shall desire to permit the use of Cash Collateral on which the First Lien Agent or any other creditor of the Parent or any other Grantor has a Lien or agrees to permit the Parent or any other Grantor to obtain post-petition financing (including on a priming basis), whether from the First Lien Creditors or any other third party under Section 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law (each, a “Post-Petition Financing”), then, so long as the maximum principal amount of Indebtedness that may be outstanding from time to time in connection with such Post-Petition Financing shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to $15,000,000 in excess of the Maximum First Lien Principal Indebtedness, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), agrees that it will not oppose, seek to enjoin or raise any objection to or contest (or join with or support any third

party opposing, objecting to or contesting), and, as necessary, will consent to, such use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing (or to the priming of, or to the granting of the Liens pari passu with, the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations; provided that the Liens granted in connection with such post-petition financing also prime, or are pari passu with, the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith that is inconsistent with Section 6.3 (except as expressly agreed in writing by the First Lien Agent or to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.4) and, to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such Post-Petition Financing incurred in compliance with this Section 6.1, the Liens of the Second Lien Claimholders on the Collateral shall be deemed to be subordinated, without any further action on the part of any person or entity, to the Liens securing such Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto), and the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations shall have the same priority with respect to the Collateral relative to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as if such Post-Petition Financing had not occurred.

(b) Until the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), agrees that it will raise no objection to, seek to enjoin, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale or other disposition of any, or substantially all of the, Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the First Lien Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition of such assets (and their Liens thereon are simultaneously being released) so long as (i) the interests of the Second Lien Claimholders in the Collateral (and any post-petition assets subject to adequate protection liens, if any, in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent) attach to the proceeds thereof on the same basis and priority as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) the net cash proceeds of such sale or other disposition are being used to repay First Lien Obligations. If requested by the First Lien Agent in connection therewith, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall affirmatively consent to such a sale or disposition.

6.2 Relief 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, and each Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), agrees that none of them shall (i) seek relief, pursuant to Section 362(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, from the automatic stay of Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or from any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent, or (ii) oppose, seek to enjoin, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) any request by the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Creditor to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be prohibited, as a result of the foregoing, from exercising the rights provided to it under Section 6.3(b).

(a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, and each Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the

Second Lien Documents), agrees that none of them shall (i) oppose, seek to enjoin, object to or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) (a) any request by the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors for adequate protection in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (or any granting of such request) or (b) any objection by the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Creditors claiming a lack of adequate protection or (ii) seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any of Sections 362, 363 or 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Collateral, except as expressly provided in this Section 6.3.

(i) if the First Lien Creditors (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral in connection with any use of Cash Collateral or Post-Petition Financing, or if the motion of the First Lien Creditors for adequate protection in the form of additional or replacement collateral has been denied by the applicable bankruptcy court, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the other Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request (and the First Lien Creditors, as necessary, will consent to) adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, such use of Cash Collateral or any Post-Petition Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement, the First Lien Security Documents and the Second Lien Security Documents;

(ii) subject to clause (iii) of this Section 6.3(b), the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral, including replacement Liens on post-petition collateral, provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Creditors, is also granted a security interest in and Lien upon such additional collateral, which is senior and prior to the security interest and Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and/or the Second Lien Claimholders; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral, provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Creditors, is also granted a security interest in and replacement Lien upon such additional collateral, which is senior and prior to the security interest and Lien granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and/or the Second Lien Claimholders; and (C) an administrative expense claim, provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Creditors, is also granted an administrative expense claim that is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent and/or the Second Lien Claimholders; and

(iii) if a motion for adequate protection by the First Lien Agent or any holder of First Lien Obligations has been denied, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other

Second Lien Claimholders may, subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 6.2 and the other provisions of this Section 6.3) seek adequate protection.

(a) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Creditor from objecting on any basis in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, including the seeking by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder of adequate protection or the assertion by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Lien Documents or otherwise; provided, however, that this Section 6.4 shall not limit the rights of the Second Lien Claimholders expressly provided under Section 3.1 or Section 6.3. Neither the First Lien Agent nor any First Lien Creditors shall object to or otherwise contest, and if necessary, will consent to, the adequate protection contemplated by Section 6.3(b)(i) or (ii).

(b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) agrees that, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose, contest or object to (or join with or support any party in doing so) any disclosure statement or plan of reorganization or liquidation (x) that provides for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6 hereof) on the effective date of such plan or (y) that is otherwise accepted by the class of holders of the First Lien Obligations voting thereon (the “Non-Opposition Agreement”). The Second Lien Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders) further agrees that, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall support or vote for (or join with or support any party in doing so) any plan of reorganization or liquidation or disclosure statement of the Parent or any other Grantor unless such disclosure statement and plan (x) provide for the Discharge of First Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses as provided in Section 6.6 hereof) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization, or (y) is otherwise accepted by the class of holders of the First Lien Obligations voting thereon (the “Support Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Claimholders shall remain entitled to vote their claims in any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Creditor is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Parent or any other Grantor any amount for any reason (a “Recovery”), then the First Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the First Lien Creditors 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. Any and all amounts received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder from or in respect of Collateral or the proceeds thereof on account of the Second Lien Obligations after the termination of this Agreement shall, in the event of a reinstatement of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.5, be held in trust for and paid over to the First Lien Agent for the benefit

of the First Lien Creditors, for application to the reinstated First Lien Obligations. This Section 6.5 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(a) Neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose, object to, contest or seek to challenge (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting) any claim by the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, premiums, costs or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations (it being understood and agreed that such value shall be determined without regard to the existences of any Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations and that neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose the positions taken by the First Lien Agent with respect to value); it being further understood that neither the First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Creditor shall be entitled to post-petition interest relating to any Excess Amount. Regardless of whether any such claim for pre- or post-petition interest, fees, premiums, costs, expenses or other charges is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement is expressly intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the First Lien Creditors, and is intended to provide the First Lien Creditors with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees, premiums, costs, expenses or other charges through distributions from the Collateral made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees, costs, expenses or other charges are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Parent or any other Grantor under Section 502(b)(2) or Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law.

6.7 Bankruptcy Code Section 1111(b)(2). The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not object to, oppose, support any objection or take any other action to impede the right of any First Lien Creditor to make an election under Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. So long as the rights and remedies available to the Second Lien Collateral Agent are not impaired thereby, the Second Lien Collateral Agent waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Creditor arising out of the election by such Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.8 Limitations. Without limiting any other right, remedy or limitation in this Agreement in favor of the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Creditors, so long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, without the express written consent of the First Lien Agent, none of the Second Lien Claimholders shall (or shall join with or support any third party making, opposing, objecting or contesting, as the case may be), in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving any Grantor, (i) oppose, object to or contest the determination of the extent of any Liens held by any of the First Lien Creditors or the value of any claims of First Lien Creditors under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) assert or support 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 (provided that this clause will not preclude the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders from supporting a plan of reorganization permitted by Section 6.4(b)) or (iii) oppose, object to or contest the

payment to the First Lien Creditors of interest, fees, premiums, costs or expenses under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(a) If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding involving a Grantor, 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.

(b) Neither the First Lien Agent or any First Lien Creditor nor the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder shall propose or support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement.

The First Lien Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Creditors, and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the respective grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Security Documents and the Second Lien Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral (i) the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and, (ii) the First Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Second Lien Obligations and, in each case, must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) 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 Creditors and the Second Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute claims in the same class (rather than at least two separate classes of secured claims with the priorities described in Section 2.1), then the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were two separate classes of First Lien Obligations and Second Lien Obligations (with the effect being that, to the extent that (i) the aggregate value of the First Lien Creditors’ First Lien Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Lien Claimholders thereon), the First Lien Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that is available from their First Lien Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the Second Lien Obligations with respect to such Collateral, with each Second Lien Claimholder acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Agent with respect to such Collateral amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries of the Second Lien Obligations and (ii) the aggregate value of the Second Lien Claimholders’ Second Lien Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the First Lien Creditors thereon), the Second Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of

principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees or expenses that is available from their Second Lien Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the First Lien Obligations with respect to such Collateral, with each First Lien Creditor acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Second Lien Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries of the First Lien Obligations).

7.1 Reliance. Other than any reliance on the terms of this Agreement, the First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors under the First Lien Documents, acknowledges that it and the other First Lien Creditors have, independently and without reliance on the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholders, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into such First Lien 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 any First Lien Document or this Agreement. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the other Second Lien Claimholders have, independently and without reliance on the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second Lien Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will continue to make their own decision in taking or not taking any action under the Second Lien Documents or this Agreement.

7.2 No Warranties or Liability. The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the First Lien Creditors under the First Lien Documents, acknowledges and agrees that each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the Second Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Creditors have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First Lien Documents, the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The First Lien Creditors will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under their respective First Lien Documents in accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate. The First Lien Agent and the First Lien Creditors shall have no duty to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with the Parent or any other Grantor (including under the First Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

(a) No right of the First Lien Creditors, the Control Agent, the First Lien Agent or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Document shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Parent or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Creditor or the First Lien Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien Documents or any of the Second Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Creditors, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Parent and the other Grantors under the First Lien Documents and the rights of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders expressly set forth in this Agreement), the First Lien Creditors, the First Lien Agent and any of them may, at any time and from time to time in accordance with the First Lien Documents and/or applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, without incurring any liabilities to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder and without impairing or releasing the Lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(i) make loans and advances to any Grantor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Grantor or otherwise extend credit to any Grantor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;

(ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or amend, renew, exchange, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First Lien Obligations or any Lien on any First Lien Collateral or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Parent or any other Grantor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First Lien Obligations, without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension) or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien Creditors, the First Lien Obligations or any of the First Lien Documents;

(iii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the First Lien Collateral or any liability of the Parent or any other Grantor to the First Lien Creditors or the First Lien Agent, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;

(iv) settle or compromise any First Lien Obligation or any other liability of the Parent or any other Grantor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or

indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sums by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First Lien Obligations) in any manner or order;

(v) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against the Parent or any other Grantor or any other Person or with respect to any security, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Parent, any other Grantor or any First Lien Collateral and any security and any guarantor or any liability of the Parent or any other Grantor to the First Lien Creditors or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; and

(vi) release or discharge any First Lien Obligation or any guaranty thereof or any agreement or obligation of any Grantor or any other person or entity with respect thereto.

(c) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, and each other Second Lien Claimholder (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second Lien Documents), agrees not to assert and hereby waives any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law with respect to the Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.

(a) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any claim against the Control Agent, any First Lien Creditor or the First Lien Agent, arising out of any and all actions which the Control Agent, the First Lien Creditors or the First Lien Agent may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the First Lien Documents (including, without limitation, any failure to perfect or obtain perfected security interests in the First Lien Collateral), (ii) the collection of the First Lien Obligations or (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any First Lien Collateral. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Control Agent, the First Lien Creditors and the First Lien Agent have no duty, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the First Lien Collateral, the First Lien Obligations or otherwise. Neither the Control Agent, the First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Creditor nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents will be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, or will be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Parent or any other Grantor or upon the request of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other holder of Second Lien Obligations or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each Second Lien Claimholder by accepting the benefits of the Second Lien Documents agrees that neither the Control Agent, the First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Creditor (in directing either such Agent to take any action with respect to the Collateral) shall have any duty or obligation to realize first upon any type of Collateral or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of the Collateral in any manner, including as a result of the application of the principles of marshaling or otherwise, that would maximize the return to any class of creditors holding Obligations of any type (whether First Lien Obligations or Second Lien

Obligations), notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such class of creditors from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.

(b) With respect to its share of the First Lien Obligations, Bank of America, N.A. (together with its successors and assigns and in its capacity as a First Lien Creditor, “BOA”) shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder as, and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for, any other First Lien Creditor, all as if BOA were not the First Lien Agent. The term “Creditors” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include BOA in its individual capacity as a First Lien Creditor. BOA and its affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Grantors or any of their Affiliates as if BOA were not acting as the First Lien Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Creditor.

7.5 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder (including the Lien priorities established hereby) shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Lien Document or any Second Lien Document or any setting aside or avoidance of any Lien;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First Lien Document or any Second Lien Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Parent or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent or any other Grantor in respect of the First Lien Obligations, or of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder in respect of this Agreement.

(a) Promptly upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent will endeavor to deliver written notice confirming same to the Second Lien Collateral Agent; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall not result in any liability of the First Lien Agent or the

First Lien Creditors hereunder or in the modification, alteration, impairment, or waiver of the rights of any party hereunder.

(b) Promptly upon (or as soon as practicable following) the commencement by the First Lien Agent of any enforcement action or the exercise of any remedy with respect to, in each case, any Collateral (including by way of a public or private sale of Collateral), the First Lien Agent will endeavor to notify the Second Lien Collateral Agent of such action; provided that the failure to give any such notice shall not result in any liability of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Creditors hereunder or in the modification, alteration, impairment, or waiver of the rights of any party hereunder.

8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First Lien Documents or the Second Lien Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control. Without limitation of the foregoing, notwithstanding any waivers by the Second Lien Claimholders of liabilities and/or duties of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Trustee under the Second Lien Documents, none of such waivers shall be effective with respect to the rights of the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Creditors under this Agreement.

8.2 Effectiveness; 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 Creditors may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Claimholder, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies to or for the benefit of the Parent or any other Grantor constituting First Lien Obligations in reliance hereon. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Claimholders, hereby agrees that it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, and waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement, which is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an 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 not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. All references to the Parent or any other Grantor shall include the Parent or such Grantor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for the Parent 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, (i) with respect to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, the other Second Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations under the Second Lien Documents terminate if there are no other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (2) if there are other Second Lien Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second Lien Obligations terminate

and (ii) with respect to the First Lien Agent, the other First Lien Creditors and the First Lien Obligations, the date of the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the rights of the First Lien Creditors under Section 5.6 (including that such date shall be deemed not to have occurred in the event of any contemporaneous or subsequent Refinancing of the Credit Agreement) or Section 6.5 of this Agreement and except to the extent any such term or provision, by its terms, survives any Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(a) No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto; provided neither the Parent nor any other Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent their rights are directly affected thereby; provided further that additional Grantors may be added as parties hereto in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.18 of this Agreement.

(b) Each waiver of the terms of this Agreement, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall not 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 Parent nor any Grantor shall have any right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent the liabilities, duties or obligations of the Parent or such Grantor are increased, expanded, or made more burdensome to the Parent or such Grantor, as the case may be, as a result of such amendment, modification or waiver.

8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.
