As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, and such instructions of the Required Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to follow any such written directions to the extent that it shall determine that such directions are in conflict with any provision hereof, of any applicable law or regulation or any Financing Document or which exposes the Collateral Agent to personal liability for which it shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 5.02. Actions of the Collateral Agent Requiring Consent; Amendment to Collateral Documents.

Section 5.03. Non-Reliance on the Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based upon such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Obligated Parties and the Collateral, and its independent decision to enter into this Agreement, and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to keep the Secured Parties informed as to the performance or

INTERCREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, Page 12

observance by any Obligated Party with the terms of this Agreement or any other Financing Document or to inspect the properties or books of any Obligated Party. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty, responsibility or liability to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of any Obligated Party which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent; provided, however, the Collateral Agent shall send to the Lenders written notice of any Default or Event of Default as provided herein and all payments and repayments of amounts required hereunder to be paid to the Lenders received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with the Collateral Documents or this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall provide each Lender with a schedule of all costs and expenses which the Collateral Agent has paid or proposes to pay from the proceeds of such payments or repayments as permitted hereunder.

Section 5.04. The Collateral Agent and Affiliates. U.S. Bank National Association and any successor Collateral Agent, in its capacity as a Lender and as trustee under the Indenture, shall have the same rights and powers under the Financing Documents and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent hereunder, and U.S. Bank National Association and its Affiliates may lend money to and generally engage in any kind of lending, investment, trust, hedging or other business with or for any Secured Party, any Obligated Party, or any of their respective Affiliates, as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Section 5.05. Action by the Collateral Agent. The obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents are only those expressly set forth herein and therein.

(a) Defaults; Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any Financing Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default, except as expressly provided herein. The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Collateral Agent has received notice from a Secured Party or the Company specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that the Collateral Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days of receipt thereof) give written notice to the Representatives. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by Required Lenders or that may otherwise be permitted by Section 5.14 or the other provisions hereof or of the Collateral Documents.

(b) Perfecting Security Interests. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any Financing Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to file financing statements to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents unless the Collateral Agent has received instructions to make a particular filing and all information necessary to properly complete such filing. The Obligated Parties shall, to the extent required under the other Collateral Documents, deliver to the Collateral Agent all financing statements and other documents and information as may be required in order to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and to maintain perfected security interests. When required by law to ensure their continued effectiveness, the Collateral Agent shall be required to continue all financing statements which have been filed to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents and which have been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

Section 5.06. Consultation with Experts. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and any other experts selected by it (including counsel, accountants and experts of the Company) and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 5.07. Liability of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on any communication or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been

INTERCREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, Page 13

communicated or signed by the Person by whom it purports to be communicated or signed and shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any of the consequences of such reliance. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any director, officer, employee, affiliate or agent of the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them under, or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Financing Documents in the absence of its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent: (i) may treat the parties hereto as the holder of the Obligations until it receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof in accordance with Article 7; (ii) shall not by reason of this Agreement or any Collateral Document be a trustee or fiduciary for any Secured Party; and (iii) shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations, or warranties contained in any Financing Document, or any certificate or other documentation referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Financing Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Financing Document or any other documentation referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any of the Financing Documents or any payment thereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any Obligated Party or any Secured Party under any of the Financing Documents; (c) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of the Financing Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; or (d) the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or the validity, effectiveness, perfection (except as specifically set forth herein), priority or enforceability of the Liens on any of the Collateral.

Section 5.08. Indemnification of the Collateral Agent; Defense of Claims.

(a) Indemnity. The Representatives, on behalf of the Lenders, hereby agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent, and each of the Collateral Agent’s directors, officers, affiliates, representatives and agents (each an “Indemnitee”) from and hold each Indemnitee harmless against (to the extent not reimbursed under sections 8.01 and 8.02, but without limiting the obligations of the Obligated Parties under sections 8.01 and 8.02), ratably in accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, deficiencies, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against an Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of any action taken, omitted to be taken or to be taken by the Collateral Agent (or any of the other Indemnitees) on behalf of the Secured Parties within the scope of the Collateral Agent’s authority as provided in this Agreement or any Collateral Document; provided, that no Representative nor any Lender shall be liable to an Indemnitee for any portion of the foregoing to the extent caused by such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Defense of Claims. The Collateral Agent shall notify each Representative as promptly as is reasonably practicable of the written assertion of, or the commencement of, any claim, suit, action or proceeding filed against any Indemnitee arising out of any action or omission for which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 5.08(a) promptly after such Indemnitee shall have received the written assertion or have been served with the summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the lawsuit. Each Lender shall be entitled to participate in and assume, at its own expense, the defense of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, and such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such Lender and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, provided, however, that (i) if any Lender has not assumed the defense of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, (ii) if the attorneys handling the defense are not reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, or (iii) if the defendants in any such action include both such Indemnitee and the Lenders and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that there may be legal defenses available to it that

INTERCREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, Page 14

are different from or additional to those available to the Lenders, which in the reasonable opinion of such counsel are sufficient to make it undesirable for the same counsel to represent both the Lenders and such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in all such instances described in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, and shall be entitled to recover from any proceeds received pursuant to Section 2.02 all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. If more than one Lender gives notice of assumption of defense, the matter shall be presented to all the Lenders and, unless such Indemnitee receives notice from the Required Lenders specifying the Lender that is to assume the defense, such Indemnitee shall proceed itself with the defense. Except as provided above, the relevant Indemnitee’s right to recover its reasonable counsel fees and expenses from proceeds received pursuant to Section 2.02 shall cease upon any Lender’s assumption of the defense of the claim, suit, action or proceeding. Each Lender and the relevant Indemnitee is always entitled to defend itself at its own expense. Neither the Lenders nor the relevant Indemnitee shall be bound by any settlement entered into by the other parties without such party’s consent.

Section 5.09. Resignation or Removal of the Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below: (a) the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to each Representative; and (b) the Collateral Agent may be removed by the Required Lenders if the Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse to perform or commence performing any act set forth in written instructions delivered to it pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, such removal to be effective upon thirty days’ prior written notice of such removal. Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Required Lenders; provided that such successor Collateral Agent shall be (i) a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or state banking authority; and (ii) authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization to assume the functions of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed as aforesaid and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or having received notice of removal, then any Lender or the Collateral Agent (unless the Collateral Agent is being removed) may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Such court shall, after such notice as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications specified above. The Lenders hereby consent to such petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement or any Collateral Document, except to the extent for acts or omissions prior to the resignation or removal. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the Collateral Agent: (a) the provisions of Sections 5.07 and 5.08 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent, (b) any Collateral held in possession of the retiring Collateral Agent shall be delivered to the successor Collateral Agent, and (c) the retiring Collateral Agent shall assign all of its rights as secured party with respect to all of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 5.10. Appointment of Co-Agents. At any time or times, in order to comply with any legal requirement in any jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent may appoint a bank or trust company or one or more other Persons, either to act as co-agent or co-agents, jointly with the Collateral Agent, or to act as separate agent or agents on behalf of the Secured Parties with such power and authority as may be necessary for the effectual operation of the provisions hereof and may be specified in the instrument of appointment (which may, in the discretion of the Collateral Agent, include provisions for the protection of such co-agent or separate agent similar to the provisions of this Article 5).

INTERCREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, Page 15

Section 5.11. Compensation of the Collateral Agent; Expenses. The Company agrees to pay the Collateral Agent to compensate it for the role as “Collateral Agent” hereunder, the reasonable and customary fees in such amounts and on such dates, each as separately agreed to between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association. The fees payable to any successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 5.09 shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed by the Company and such successor. The Lenders agree that such compensation paid to any successor Collateral Agent and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, customary custodial fees and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent or such successor Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties incident to the exercise or enforcement of any terms or provisions of the Collateral Documents shall be indebtedness to the Collateral Agent or such successor Collateral Agent, secured by the Collateral.

Section 5.12. Release of Collateral and Subsidiary Guarantors. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized to release the Liens in the Collateral and release a Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Financing Documents upon a certification from the Trustee that such release is permitted or required by the Indenture and a certification from the Administrative Agent that such release is permitted or required by the Term Loan Agreement.

Section 5.13. Emergency Actions. The Collateral Agent is authorized, but not obligated, to take any action reasonably required to perfect or continue the perfection or effectiveness of the Liens in the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties and following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and before the Required Lenders have given the Collateral Agent directions, to take any action (subject to the restrictions in Section 5.02) which the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion and good faith, believes to be reasonably required to protect the interests of the Lenders and to maximize both the value of the Collateral and the present value of the recovery by the Lenders on the Obligations; provided, however, that once such directions have been received, the actions of the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto. The Collateral Agent shall give written notice of any such action to the Lenders within one Business Day and shall cease any such action upon its receipt of written instructions from the Required Lenders.

Section 5.14. Interpleader; Declaratory Judgment. In the event any controversy arises between or among the Lenders with respect to this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any rights of any Secured Party hereunder or thereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to institute a bill of interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any amounts held by the Collateral Agent hereunder or to initiate proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for a declaratory judgment to determine the rights of the parties.

Section 5.15. Operation of the Collateral Account. The Collateral Accounts shall be trust accounts and shall be established and maintained by the Collateral Agent at one of its corporate trust offices (which may include the New York corporate trust office) and all Collateral shall be credited thereto. All cash and cash equivalents received by the Collateral Agent from dispositions of collateral, recovery events, foreclosures of or sales of the Collateral, issuances of Additional Notes and other awards or proceeds pursuant to the Collateral Documents, including earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits and income from the Collateral received pursuant to the Collateral Documents, shall be deposited in the Non-ABL Collateral Account, in the case of proceeds from Non-ABL Collateral, or in the ABL Collateral Account, in the case of proceeds from ABL Collateral, and thereafter shall be held, applied and/or disbursed by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Term Loan Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. In connection with any and all deposits to be made into the Collateral Accounts, the Collateral Agent shall receive an Officers’ Certificate identifying which Collateral Account shall receive such deposit and directing the Collateral Agent to make such deposit.

INTERCREDITOR AND COLLATERAL AGENCY AGREEMENT, Page 16

Section 5.16. Account Holder Verification. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person who opens an account. For a non-individual Person such as a business entity, a charity, a trust, or other legal entity, the Collateral Agent requests documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. The Collateral Agent may also request to see financial statements, licenses, identification and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or the relevant documentation.

ARTICLE 6

Section 6.01. Waivers of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid, the Secured Parties hereby agree to refrain from exercising any and all rights each may individually (i.e., other than through the Collateral Agent) now or hereafter have applicable to the Collateral to exercise any right pursuant to the Collateral Documents, the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction, or under similar provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction, under any bankruptcy or other insolvency laws or otherwise dispose of or retain any of the Collateral. The Secured Parties hereby agree not to take any action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of the Collateral Documents or to enforce any right with respect to the Collateral, in conflict with this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the terms and provisions of the Collateral Documents.

Upon acceleration of the amounts owed under a Credit Facility, the Required Lenders may instruct the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies applicable to the Collateral of a secured creditor under the Collateral Documents or other available with respect to the Collateral in law or equity, including, all rights and remedies under applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws.

Section 6.04. Permitted Exercise of other Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article 6, each Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies available to them under the Financing Documents which are not Collateral Documents to which they are a party upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or at any other time, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party shall have the independent right, exercised in accordance with the applicable Financing Documents and applicable law, to do any of the following:

(a) accelerate the Obligations owing to such Secured Party pursuant to the Financing Documents (other than this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents) to which such Secured Party is a party;

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Obligated Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender except as otherwise permitted by the limitation on mergers and consolidated provisions of the Financing Documents (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Obligated Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the related parties of each of Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall restrict in any manner the assignment, participation or other transfer by any Secured Party of all or any part of its right, title or interest under any Credit Facility and any Person who becomes a successor of a Secured Party under the terms of the applicable Financing Documents shall be “Secured Party” hereunder.

Section 7.02. New Lenders. Any bank, insurance company or other financial institution that has extended credit to the Company after the date hereof, the proceeds of which are used to repay any of the then outstanding Funded Obligations, may become a “Lender” hereunder (and their credit agreement, indenture, note purchase agreement and/or related documents may become a “Credit Facility” hereunder entitled to share in the Collateral and any administrative agent or trustee appointed by such Lender may become a “Representative”) upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Supplement to Intercreditor Agreement substantially in the form of Attachment A hereto properly completed, executed and delivered by such new lender.
