-38-

forth in clause (c) below, any objection based on an assertion that the Notes Claimholders are entitled to adequate protection of their interest in the Collateral as a condition thereto), and the Notes Collateral Agent will subordinate its Liens in the Revolving Priority Collateral to the Liens granted in connection with the use of Cash Collateral and/or securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” in favor of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or statutory committee as agreed to by the Revolving Collateral Agent and the Revolving LendersLender with respect to Revolving Priority Collateral), to the extent any Liens securing the Revolving Obligations are discharged, subordinated to, or made pari passu with any new Liens securing such DIP Financing and to any replacement Liens granted as adequate protection of the interests of the Revolving Claimholders in the Collateral (“Revolving Lender Adequate Protection Lien”), in each case to the extent consistent with the other provisions of this Agreement; provided that (a) the Notes Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Notes Obligations and, as to the Notes Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding and any Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral granted in connection with such use of Cash Collateral and/or securing such DIP Financing and any Revolving Lender Adequate Protection Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral (and all obligations relating thereto, including any “carve-out” in favor of fees and expenses of professionals retained by any debtor or statutory committee as agreed to by the Revolving Collateral Agent and the Revolving LendersLender with respect to Revolving Priority Collateral) is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on the Notes Priority Collateral, (b) all Liens on Revolving Priority Collateral granted in connection with such use of Cash Collateral and/or securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Revolving Collateral AgentLender and the Revolving Claimholders securing the Revolving Obligations on Revolving Priority Collateral, (c) to the extent that the Revolving Collateral AgentLender is granted a Revolving Lender Adequate Protection Lien on Collateral arising after the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding or additional claims, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Claimholders are permitted to request such a Lien on such additional Collateral with the relative priority set forth in Section 2.1 (and neither the Revolving Collateral AgentLender nor any Revolving Claimholder shall oppose any motion by any Notes Claimholder with respect to the granting of such a Lien), and (d) the terms of such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral order do not either require such Notes Claimholders to extend additional credit pursuant to such DIP Financing or authorize the use of Cash Collateral consisting of Notes Priority Collateral. If the Revolving Claimholders offer to provide DIP Financing that meets the requirements set forth in clauses (a) through (d) above in this paragraph, and if the Grantors desire to obtain authorization from the Bankruptcy Court to obtain such DIP Financing, then the Notes Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Notes Claimholders, that no Notes Claimholder shall, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide, or support (i) any financing competing with the DIP Financing or (ii) any Term/Notes DIP Financing (as defined below).

The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(b) shall not prevent the Revolving Collateral AgentLender from objecting to any provision in any Cash Collateral or Term/Notes DIP Financing order or documentation relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization to the extent such objections are not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Notes Claimholders, agrees that no such Person shall provide to such Grantor consent to use Cash Collateral or enter into any DIP Financing to the extent that the Notes Collateral Agent or any Note Claimholder would, in connection with such financing, be granted a Lien on the Revolving Priority Collateral senior to or pari passu with any Liens of the Revolving Collateral AgentLender.

Without limiting the generality of the immediately-preceding sentence, the Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Notes Claimholders, agrees that, so long as the Discharge of Revolving Obligations has not occurred (or will not occur immediately upon consummation of such Disposition), no Notes Claimholder shall, without the prior written consent of the Revolving Collateral AgentLender, credit bid under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Disposition of Revolving Priority Collateral or any Disposition consisting of both Notes Priority Collateral and Revolving Priority Collateral.

6.7 Avoidance Issues. If any Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over, disgorge or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount paid in respect of Revolving Obligations or Notes Obligations, as the case may be (a “Recovery”), then such Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the Revolving Obligations or the Notes Obligations, as applicable, with respect to all such recovered amounts, and all rights, interests, priorities and privileges recognized in this Agreement shall apply with respect to any such Recovery (including that the amount of such Recovery is a Revolving Obligation or Notes Obligation, as applicable, secured by Collateral in accordance with this Agreement). 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in any Insolvency Proceeding a

 

-45-

determination is made that any prior Lien encumbering any Collateral is not enforceable for any reason then the Revolving Collateral Agent orLender or Revolving Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Claimholders, on the other hand, having Liens of lower ranking priority as provided in this Agreement agree that any distribution or recovery they may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets constituting Collateral subject to an enforceable Lien in favor of any such lower ranking priority Lien holder or any proceeds thereof shall (for so long as the Discharge of Revolving Obligations has not occurred, in the case of assets constituting Revolving Priority Collateral, or the Discharge of Note Loan Obligations has not occurred, in the case of assets constituting Notes Priority Collateral) be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Revolving Collateral AgentLender for the benefit of the Revolving Claimholders or to the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Note Claimholders, as applicable based on whichever holds or is intended to hold the prior Lien as provided in Section 2.1, in the same form as received without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of the applicable Revolving Collateral AgentLender or Notes Collateral Agent (required to so segregate and pay over) that it has not otherwise sold, assigned, transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

6.8 Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Notes Collateral Agent nor any Note Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge:

(i) any claim by the Revolving Collateral AgentLender or any Revolving Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Revolving Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the Revolving Priority Collateral securing any Revolving Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Note Claimholders on the Collateral;

(ii) the payment of such expenses allowed in accordance with Section 6.8(a)(i); or

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.8(a)(i) solely from Proceeds of Revolving Priority Collateral;

provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.8(a) prohibits the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Note Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding if such Notes Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses payable to the Revolving Collateral AgentLender or any Revolving Claimholder.

(b) Neither the Revolving Collateral AgentLender nor any other Revolving Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge:

 

-46-

(i) any claim by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Note Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Note Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral securing any Note Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Revolving Collateral AgentLender on behalf of the Revolving Claimholders on the Collateral;

(ii) the payment of such expenses allowed in accordance with Section 6.8(b)(i); or

(iii) the payment of such interest and fees allowed in accordance with Section 6.8(b)(i) solely from Proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral

provided that nothing contained in this Section 6.8(b) prohibits the Revolving Collateral AgentLender on behalf of the Revolving Claimholders from seeking adequate protection (to the extent it has not already done so under other provisions of this Agreement) with respect to their rights in the Revolving Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding if such Revolving Priority Collateral is the source of payment of post-petition expenses payable to the Notes Collateral Agent or any Note Claimholder.

6.9 Plan of Reorganization. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Grantor, debt obligations of such Grantor, as reorganized, that are secured by Liens upon any property of such Grantor, are distributed or reinstated (in whole or in part) pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of Revolving Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Revolving Obligations and on account of the Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, then either (a) 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 or (b) the parties hereto will amend this Agreement and/or enter into a new agreements as may be necessary to make the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such debt obligations.

6.10 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Revolving Collateral AgentLender, on behalf of the Revolving Claimholders, and the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, acknowledge and intend that: the respective grants of Liens pursuant to the Revolving Collateral Documents and the Notes Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral (i) the Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the Revolving Obligations and, (ii) the Revolving Obligations are fundamentally different from the Notes Obligations and, in each case, must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed (or approved) in an Insolvency 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 Revolving Claimholders and the Notes 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 Revolving Claimholders and the Notes Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were two separate classes of Revolving Obligations and Notes Obligations (with the effect being that, to the extent that (i) the aggregate value of the Revolving Claimholders’ Revolving Priority

 

-47-

Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Notes Claimholders thereon), the Revolving 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 Revolving Priority Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the Notes Obligations with respect to such Collateral, with each Notes Claimholder acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Revolving Collateral AgentLender 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 Notes Obligations and (ii) the aggregate value of the Notes Claimholders’ Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Revolving Claimholders thereon), the Notes 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 Notes Priority Collateral, before any distribution is made in respect of the Revolving Obligations with respect to such Collateral, with each Revolving Claimholder acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Notes 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 Revolving Obligations).

(b) It is understood that the Revolving Collateral AgentLender and the Notes Collateral Agent, without the consent of any other Revolving Claimholder or Notes Claimholder, may in their discretion determine that a supplemental agreement (which may take the form of an amendment and restatement of this Agreement) is necessary or appropriate to facilitate having additional indebtedness or other obligations, including any Refinancing of the Revolving Obligations, any Additional Revolving Credit Facility, any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations, or any Refinancing of the Notes
