(b) It is the intention of the Second-Lien Secured Parties of each Series that the holders of Second-Lien Obligations of such Series (and not the Second-Lien Secured Parties of any other Series) bear the risk of (i) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (x) any of the Second-Lien Obligations of such Series are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another Series of Second-Lien Obligations), (y) any of the Second-Lien Obligations of such Series do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral securing any other Series of Second-Lien Obligations and/or (z) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another Series of Second-Lien Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Series of Second-Lien Obligations but junior to the security interest of any other Series of Second-Lien Obligations or (ii) the existence of any Collateral for any other Series of Second-Lien Obligations that is not Shared Collateral (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) with respect to any Series of Second-Lien Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Series); provided, that the existence of a maximum claim with respect to Mortgaged Properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which applies to all Second-Lien Obligations shall not be deemed to be an Impairment of any Series of Second-Lien Obligations.  In the event of any Impairment with respect to any Series of Second-Lien Obligations, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Series of Second-Lien Obligations, and the rights of the holders of such Series of Second-Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Series of Second-Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 2.01) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of the Series of such Second-Lien Obligations subject to such Impairment.  Additionally, in the event the Second-Lien Obligations of any Series are modified pursuant to applicable law (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code), any reference to such Second-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Documents governing such Second-Lien Obligations shall refer to such obligations or such documents as so modified.

ARTICLE II

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral

SECTION 2.01  Priority of Claims between First-Lien Obligations and Second-Lien Obligations.  (a) Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral or of any Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code, or any applicable law or the Second-Lien Credit Documents or any other circumstance whatsoever (including any non-perfection of any Lien purporting to secure the First-Lien Obligations and/or Second-Lien Obligations), each Second-Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second-Lien Secured Parties, and each other Second-Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of the Second-Lien Credit Documents) hereby agrees that:  (a) any Lien on the Shared Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any First-Lien

13

Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party 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; and (b) any Lien on the Shared Collateral now or hereafter held by or on behalf of any Second-Lien Collateral Agent, any Second-Lien Secured Party 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 Shared Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations.  All Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any First-Lien Obligations shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared 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 Company, any other Grantor or any other Person.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that 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).

(b)                                 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to the priority of claims between the First-Lien Obligations and the Second-Lien Obligations, this Agreement is intended to constitute and shall be deemed to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and is intended to be and shall be interpreted to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law.

SECTION 2.02  Priority of Claims between each Series of First-Lien Obligations.  (a) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of First-Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the First-Lien Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03 hereof), each First-Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of First-Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which (i) a third party (other than a First-Lien Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of First-Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of First-Lien Obligations (such third party, a “First-Lien Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such First-Lien Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of First-Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other First-Lien Security Documents to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations. the applicable First-Lien Collateral Agent and/or First-Lien Authorized Representative (in each case, with respect to a Series of First-Lien Obligations) may:

14

(i)                                     take any action (not adverse to the pari-passu status of the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing each other Series of First-Lien Obligations, or the rights of any other Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Shared Collateral;

(ii)                                  file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to such Series of First-Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Grantors;

(iii)                               file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the applicable Series of First-Lien Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, if any, in each case not in violation of the terms of this Agreement;

(iv)                              file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not in violation of the terms of this Agreement; and

(v)                                 vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to such Series of First-Lien Obligations and the Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.03  Priority of Claims between each Series of Second-Lien Obligations.  (a) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Second-Lien Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Second-Lien Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each Second-Lien Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of Second-Lien Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Second-Lien Secured Party) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Second-Lien Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Second-Lien Obligations (such third party, a “Second-Lien Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Second-Lien Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Second-Lien Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other First-Lien Security Documents to the contrary, after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, the

15

applicable Second-Lien Collateral Agent and/or Second-Lien Authorized Representative (in each case, with respect to a Series of Second-Lien Obligations) may:

(i)                                     take any action (not adverse to the pari-passu status of the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing each other Series of Second-Lien Obligations, or the rights of any other Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Shared Collateral;

(ii)                                  file a claim, proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to such Series of Second-Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against any of the Grantors;

(iii)                               file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the applicable Series of Second-Lien Secured Parties, including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, if any, in each case not in violation of the terms of this Agreement;

(iv)                              file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not in violation of the terms of this Agreement; and

(v)                                 vote on any plan of reorganization, file any proof of claim, make other filings and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to such Series of Second-Lien Obligations and the Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.04  Application of Proceeds.  (a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Company or any other Grantor or any Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement (to the extent such payment represents an application of Proceeds made pursuant to this Section 2.04)) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any Secured Party or received by any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the First-Lien Obligations or the Second-Lien Obligations are entitled under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement (to the extent such distribution represents an application of Proceeds made pursuant to this Section 2.04)) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each First-Lien Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) and each First-Lien Authorized Representative (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any First-Lien Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the First-Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable

16

basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the First-Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable First-Lien Secured Credit Documents, (iii) THIRD, and only after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Second-Lien Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) and each Second-Lien Authorized Representative (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Second-Lien Secured Credit Document, (iv) FOURTH, and only after the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations and subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the Second-Lien Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the Second-Lien Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second-Lien Secured Credit Documents, and (v) after payment of all First-Lien Obligations and all Second-Lien Obligations, to the Company and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

SECTION 2.05  Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  (a) With respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) only a Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) no Collateral Agent shall follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct any Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only a Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral at such time.

17

remedies relating to the Shared Collateral, or to cause any Collateral Agent to do so.  The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Secured Party, any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of First-Lien Obligations, a First-Lien Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized First-Lien Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized First-Lien Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral (subject to the requirement to apply proceeds according to Section 2.04).

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of Second-Lien Obligations, a Second-Lien Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Second-Lien Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Second-Lien Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral (subject to the requirement to apply proceeds according to Section 2.04).

(f)                                   Each of the Secured Parties (and each Authorized Representative) agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) question or contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the perfection, priority, validity, attachment or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or (ii) the provisions of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative to enforce this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b)                                 Each Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the First-Lien Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the First-Lien Secured Parties and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the applicable Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04.

SECTION 2.07  Automatic Release of Liens. If, at any time any Collateral Agent (at the instruction of the Applicable Authorized Representative) forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral resulting in a sale or disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in

19

favor of each relevant Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of First-Lien Secured Parties and/or Second-Lien Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged; provided that (x) any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.04 and (y) such Collateral Agent shall provide notice of (i) the commencement of any such enforcement action with respect to Shared Collateral; (ii) any such sale or disposition and (iii) any such release of Shared Collateral to each other Collateral Agent party hereto.

SECTION 2.08  Amendments to First-Lien Secured Credit Documents and Second-Lien Secured Credit Documents.  (a) Each Secured Party agrees that any First-Lien Collateral Agent or First-Lien Authorized Representative may enter into any amendment to any First-Lien Secured Credit Document (including, without limitation, to release any Liens securing any Series of First-Lien Obligations), so long as such First-Lien Collateral Agent receives a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by the terms of each then extant Secured Credit Document. Additionally, each Secured Party agrees that any First-Lien Collateral Agent or First-Lien Authorized Representative may enter into any amendment to any First-Lien Secured Credit Document solely as such First-Lien Secured Credit Document relates to a particular Series of First-Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, to release any Liens securing such Series of First-Lien Obligations), so long as (x) such amendment does not contravene any provisions of this Agreement, (y) such amendment is in accordance with the First-Lien Secured Credit Document pursuant to which such Series of First-Lien Obligations was incurred and (z) such amendment does not adversely affect the First-Lien Secured Parties of any other Series.

(b)                                 Each Secured Party agrees that any Second-Lien Collateral Agent or any Second-Lien Authorized Representative may enter into any amendment to any Second-Lien Secured Credit Document (including, without limitation, to release any Liens securing any Series of Second-Lien Obligations), so long as such Second-Lien Collateral Agent receives a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by the terms of each then extant Secured Credit Document. Additionally, each Secured Party agrees that any Second-Lien Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment to any Second-Lien Secured Credit Document solely as such Second-Lien Secured Credit Document relates to a particular Series of Second-Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, to release any Liens securing such Series of Second-Lien Obligations), so long as (x) such amendment does not contravene any provisions of this Agreement, (y) such amendment is in accordance with the Second-Lien Secured Credit Document pursuant to which such Series of Second-Lien Obligations was incurred and (z) such amendment does not adversely affect the First-Lien Secured Parties of any Series or the Second-Lien Secured Parties of any other Series.

(c)                                  Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by any Collateral Agent or the Company to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral or amendment to any First-Lien Secured Credit Document or Second-Lien Secured Credit Document provided for in this Section.

(d)                                 It is acknowledged that (i) the First-Lien Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant First-Lien Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded,

20

Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01 or Section 2.02 or any other provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the First-Lien Secured Parties of any Series and (ii) the Second-Lien Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Second-Lien Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01, Section 2.03 or any other provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Second-Lien Secured Parties of any Series.

(e)                                  In determining whether an amendment to any First-Lien Secured Credit Document or Second-Lien Secured Credit Document is permitted by this Section 2.08, each Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by Section 2.08(a) or (b) above.

SECTION 2.09  Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.  (a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(b)                                 Until the occurrence of the Discharge of First-Lien Obligations, if the Company and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as a debtor-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless any Controlling Secured Party, or an Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the First-Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), and (iii) in either case of the foregoing clause (i) and (ii), each Second-Lien Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral to such DIP Financing and the First-Lien Obligations on the same basis as  the other Liens securing the Second-Lien Obligations are subordinated to Liens securing the First-Lien Obligations under this Agreement, in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-a-vis all the other First-Lien Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the First-Lien Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) and all the other Second-Lien Secured Parties as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B)

21

(i) the First-Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any First-Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the First-Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) the Second-Lien Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Second-Lien Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-a-vis the First-Lien Secured Parties and the Second-Lien Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Secured Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.04, and (D) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.04; provided that the Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral; provided, further, that no Second-Lien Secured Party shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing.

(c)                                  Post-Petition Interest. No Second-Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second-Lien Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any First-Lien Collateral Agent or any First-Lien Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First-Lien Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.  Regardless of whether any such claim for post-petition interest, fees or expenses is allowed or allowable, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement expressly is intended to include and does include the “rule of explicitness” in that this Agreement expressly entitles the First-Lien Secured Parties, and is intended to provide the First Lien Secured Parties with the right, to receive payment of all post-petition interest, fees or expenses through distributions made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement even though such interest, fees and expenses are not allowed or allowable against the bankruptcy estate of the Company 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.

(d)                                 Second-Lien Waiver. The Second-Lien Collateral Agents, for themselves and on behalf of the other Second-Lien Secured Parties of the applicable Series, waive any claim they may hereafter have against any First-Lien Secured Party arising out of the election by any First-Lien Secured Party of the application to the claims of any First-Lien Secured Party of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or DIP Financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding

SECTION 2.10  Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the First-Lien Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be fully

22

applicable thereto until all such First-Lien Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.
