Each of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Subordinated Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the priority, validity, perfection or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders in the First Lien Collateral or by or on behalf of any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in the Subordinated Lien Collateral, as the case may be, or the provisions of this Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder to enforce this Agreement, including the provisions of this Agreement relating to the priority of the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1.

14

2.3 No New Liens. 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 Company or any other Grantor, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any other Grantor to:

(a) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Subordinated Lien Obligation unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the First Lien Obligations, the parties hereto agreeing that any such Lien shall be subject to Section 2.1 hereof; or

(b) grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any First Lien Obligations unless it has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations. 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 Collateral Agent and/or the First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of each of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

2.4 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the First Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien Collateral (other than with respect to Affiliate Securities, if any, and any Specified Hedge Collateral, if any) be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing and of Section 8.9, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:

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

(b) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the First Lien Collateral and the Subordinated Lien Collateral and guarantees for the First Lien Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Obligations, subject to Section 5.3(d), shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to the first or subordinated nature of the Obligations thereunder and the exclusion or inclusion, if applicable, of any Affiliate Securities or any Specified Hedge Collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section if any assets and/or property of any Grantor are not yet included in Subordinated Lien Collateral but are subject to closing agreements to provide that such assets and/or property shall become Subordinated Lien Collateral.

15

SECTION 3. Enforcement.

3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

(a) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders:

(1) will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral (including the exercise of any right of setoff or any right under any lockbox agreement, account control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder is a party) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure);

(2) will not contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Documents or otherwise; and

(3) subject to their rights under clause (a)(1) above, will not object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral, in each case so long as the Liens granted to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders attach to the proceeds thereof subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2.

(b) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including set-off, recoupment and the right to credit bid their debt) and, subject to Section 5.1, to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder; provided that, the Lien securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall remain on the proceeds of such Collateral released or disposed of subject to the relative priorities described in Section 2. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders may enforce the provisions of the First Lien 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 and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

16

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and any Subordinated Lien Claimholder may:

(1) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations; provided that an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor;

(2) take any action (not adverse to the priority status of the Liens on the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;

(3) 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 Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

(4) 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 the Subordinated Lien Obligations and the Collateral.

The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and each Subordinated Lien Claimholder, 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 set-off and recoupment) with respect to any Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, 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, except as expressly provided in Sections 3.1(a), 6.3(b) and this Section 3.1(c), the sole right of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to Sections 3.1(c) and Section 6.3(b):

(1) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies under the First Lien Documents or is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

17

(2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Collateral Agent or First Lien Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders; and

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

(e) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Company or any other Grantor that has guaranteed or granted Liens to secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents and applicable law; provided that in the event that any Subordinated Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to the Subordinated Lien Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

(f) Except as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Subordinated Lien Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off and recoupment) or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Nothing in this Agreement impairs or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders may have with respect to the First Lien Collateral.

SECTION 4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Proceeds. 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 Company or any other Grantor, Collateral or

18

proceeds thereof, received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies, shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Documents (including fees of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee). Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee in such order as specified in the Subordinated Lien Documents.

4.2 Payments Over.

(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 Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (together with assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, any Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral in contravention of this Agreement in all cases, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders (after the payment of fees of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

(b) 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 Company or any other Grantor, any Collateral or proceeds thereof (including assets or proceeds subject to Liens referred to in the final sentence of Section 2.3) received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including set-off or recoupment) relating to the Collateral not in contravention of this Agreement shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders (after the payment of fees of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; provided, however that, this Section 4.2(b) shall only be applicable if the exercise of such right or remedy by the Subordinated Collateral Agent or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder has the effect of discharging the Lien of the First Lien Collateral Agent on such Collateral. The First Lien Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsement as agent for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders. This authorized is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until he Discharge of First Lien Obligations.

19

(c) So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has not occurred, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall receive any distribution of money or other property in respect of the Collateral, such money or other property shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsement. Any Lien received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or by Subordinated Lien Claimholders in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1 Releases.

(a) If in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral or releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, then the Liens, if any, of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

(b) If in connection with any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral by any Grantor (collectively, a “Disposition”) permitted under the terms of the First Lien Documents and not expressly prohibited under the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents (other than in connection with the exercise of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of the Collateral which shall be governed by Section 5.1(a) above), the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, or releases any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty of the First Lien Obligations, in each case other than (A) in connection with the Discharge of First Lien Obligations and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any “Event of Default” under a Subordinated Lien Document, then the Liens, if any, of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, on such Collateral, and the obligations of such Guarantor under its guaranty of the Subordinated Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself or on behalf of any such Subordinated Lien Claimholders, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent or such Guarantor may request to effectively confirm such release.

20

(c) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee or such holder or in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral 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 to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

(d) Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders (i) have released any Lien on Collateral or any Guarantor from its obligation under its guaranty and any such Liens or guaranty are later reinstated or (ii) obtain any new liens or additional guarantees from any Guarantor, then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and for the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, shall be granted a Lien on any such Collateral, subject to the lien subordination provisions of this Agreement, and an additional guaranty, as the case may be.

5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien 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 Documents, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award (or any payments with respect to a deed in lieu of condemnation) if in respect to the Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Documents (including for purposes of cash collateralization of letters of credit) and thereafter, to the extent no First Lien Obligations are outstanding, and subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Subordinated Lien Documents to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to the extent required under the Subordinated Lien Documents, and then, to the extent no Subordinated Lien Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other Person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, any Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award or payment in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay such proceeds over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

21

5.3 Amendments to First Lien Documents and Subordinated Lien Documents.

(a) The First Lien Documents may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with their terms and the First Lien Credit Agreement may be Refinanced in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, all without affecting the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the holders of such Refinancing debt (or their Representative on their behalf) shall bind themselves in a writing for the benefit of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement including by executing a Lien Priority Confirmation;

(b) Without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, no Subordinated Lien Document may be Refinanced, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such Refinancing, amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Subordinated Lien Document, would:

(1) increase the principal amount of the Subordinated Lien Debt in excess of the amount permitted under any First Lien Document;

(2) increase the fees, the interest rate or yield provisions or otherwise effectuate an increase in yield applicable to the Indebtedness incurred under such Subordinated Lien Documents (including by way of any side letters, agreements or arrangements under which any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders are paid a fee whether in the form of cash or interest) by more than 3% per annum (including increases in yield or rate arising from any changes from a floating interest rate obligation to a fixed rate obligation but excluding increases resulting from the accrual of interest at the default rate);

(3) except as permitted by Section 5.3(b)(2), increase materially the obligations of the obligor thereunder or to confer any additional material rights on any Subordinated Lien Claimholders, or a representative on their behalf, which would be adverse to the Company, any Grantor or any First Lien Claimholder, it being understood that amendments or Refinancings providing for increases in the principal amount of Subordinated Lien Debt to provide for new money Indebtedness shall not be restricted by this clause (3);

(4) affect the Lien subordination, Lien priorities or other provisions of this Agreement; or

(5) contravene the provisions of this Agreement or of the First Lien Documents.

The Subordinated Lien Debt may be Refinanced to the extent the terms and conditions of such Refinancing debt meet the requirements of this Section 5.3(b) and clauses (a), (b) and (c) of, and the provisos to, the definition of “Subordinated Lien Debt” set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, and the holders of such Refinancing debt bind themselves in a writing for the benefit of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the

22

First Lien Claimholders to the terms of this Agreement, by executing a Lien Priority Confirmation.

(c) Company agrees that each Subordinated Lien Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to the provisions of the First and Subordinated Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of April 06, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Coffeyville Resources, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as First Lien Collateral Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Subordinated Collateral Trustee, and certain other persons party, or that may become party, thereto from time to time. 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 Company agrees that such Subordinated Lien Mortgage covering any Collateral shall contain such other language as the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such Subordinated Lien Mortgage to the First Lien Collateral Document covering such Collateral.

(d) In the event any First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders and the relevant Grantor enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Collateral Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Lien Collateral Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, such First Lien Claimholders, Company or any other Grantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Subordinated Lien Collateral Document without the consent of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders and without any action by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, Company or any other Grantor, provided that:

(i) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of: (A) removing or releasing assets subject to the Lien of the Subordinated Lien Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted or required by Section 5.1; provided that, there is a corresponding release of such Lien securing the First Lien Obligations;

23

(B) imposing duties on the Subordinated Collateral Trustee without its consent; (C) permitting other Liens on Subordinated Lien Collateral not permitted under the terms of the Subordinated Lien Documents or Section 6; or (D) being prejudicial to the interests of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to a greater extent than the First Lien Claimholders; and

(ii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee within ten (10) Business Days after the effective date of such amendment, waiver or consent.

5.4 Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such Collateral being the “Pledged Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as gratuitous bailee for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the First Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. Solely with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4. For the avoidance of doubt, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee hereby appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent as its agent solely for perfection of the Subordinated Collateral Agent’s Lien in such deposit accounts, and the First Lien Collateral Agent accepts such appointment.

(b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder to ensure that the Pledged Collateral 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 5.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Section 5.4 shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in paragraph (d) below.

(c) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien Claimholders, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the First Lien Collateral Agent from all claims and liabilities arising

24

pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.4 as gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Collateral. It is understood and agreed that the interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee may differ and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to act in its own interest without taking into account the interests of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or Subordinated Lien Claimholders.

(d) Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations under the First Lien Documents to which the First Lien Collateral Agent is a party, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver the remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to the extent Subordinated Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the Company to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral). The First Lien Collateral Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at the expense of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Company in connection with the Subordinated Collateral Trustee obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

5.5 Discharge of First Lien Obligations Deemed to Not Have Occurred. If, at any time after the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Company thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any First Lien Document evidencing a First Lien Obligation which Refinancing is permitted by the Subordinated Lien Documents, then such Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken as a result of the occurrence of such first Discharge of First Lien Obligations), and, from and after the date on which the New First Lien Debt Notice is delivered to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee in accordance with the next sentence, the obligations under such Refinancing of the First Lien Documents 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 First Lien Collateral Agent under such First Lien Documents shall be the First Lien Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice (the “New First Lien Debt Notice”) stating that the Company has entered into a new First Lien Document (and incurred additional First Lien Debt) (which notice shall include the identity of the new first lien collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Subordinated Collateral Trustee shall promptly (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall 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 and (b) deliver to the New Agent any Pledged Collateral held by it together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If the new First Lien Obligations under the new First

25

Lien Documents are secured by assets of the Grantors constituting Collateral that do not also secure the Subordinated Lien Obligations, then the Subordinated Lien Obligations shall be secured at such time by a second priority Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents and this Agreement.

5.6 Additional Secured Debt.

(a) The Company will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of First Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as applicable, hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the holder of First Lien Debt or the holder of Subordinated Lien Debt, as applicable, incurred by the Company or such other Grantor in accordance with the respective definitions of First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be, contained herein as additional First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt hereunder, respectively. The Company may effect such designation by delivering to the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee each of the following:

(i) an Officer’s Certificate describing in reasonable detail the respective First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) and stating that the Company or such other Grantor has incurred or intends to incur such obligations as additional Secured Debt which will either be (i) First Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured by a First Lien or (ii) Subordinated Lien Debt permitted by each applicable Secured Debt Document to be secured with a second or third priority lien, as applicable; and

(ii) a written notice specifying the name and address of the Representative for such First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as applicable, for purposes of Section 8.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but in no way limiting Section 2.3, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or grant additional Liens unless in each case otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable Secured Debt Documents.

(b) With respect to any First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt incurred after the date of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to take such actions (if any) (including, without limitation, any acknowledgements by the Company or any of the other Guarantors of guarantees or security that are applicable to First Lien Debt or Subordinated Lien Debt, as the case may be) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents (or execute and deliver such additional guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the Subordinated

26

Collateral Trustee, to ensure that the relevant additional First Lien Obligations or Subordinated Lien Obligations, as the case may be, are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable, and each additional holder of First Lien Obligations and each additional holder of Subordinated Lien Obligations (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional guarantees, First Lien Collateral Documents and Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents, as applicable). The Company and each Grantor hereby further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 5.6(b), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Company and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1 Finance and Sale Issues. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, if the Company or any other Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the First Lien Collateral Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), on which the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other creditor has a Lien or to permit the Company or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the First Lien Claimholders or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”), then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing and to the extent the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.3); provided that, the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of First Lien Obligations consisting of Indebtedness for borrowed money (and expressly excluding Hedging Obligations) plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit issued and not reimbursed under the First Lien Credit Agreement does not exceed the Cap Amount plus $150,000,000 in the aggregate.

6.2 Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under Section 6.3 has been denied by the Bankruptcy Court.

27

6.3 Adequate Protection.

(a) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):

(1) any request by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for adequate protection; or

(2) any objection by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(1) if the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, on behalf of itself or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement; and

(2) the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and Subordinated 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; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that, as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders; and (D) cash payments with respect to interest on the Subordinated Lien Obligations; provided either (1) as adequate protection for the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, is also granted cash payments with respect to interest on the First Lien Obligations, or (2) such cash payments do not exceed an amount equal to the interest accruing on the principal amount of applicable Subordinated Lien Obligations outstanding on the date such relief is granted at the interest rate under the applicable Subordinated Lien Documents and accruing

28

from the date the Subordinated Collateral Trustee is granted such relief. If any Subordinated Lien Secured Party receives Post Petition Interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Subordinated Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the First Lien Claimholders do not receive payment in full in cash of all First Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall pay over to the First Lien Claimholders an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Subordinated Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Subordinated Lien Claimholders and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the First Lien Obligations; provided that, to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the First Lien Claimholders in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the First Lien Claimholders shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the applicable Subordinated Lien Claimholders in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the First Lien Claimholders shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Subordinated Lien Claimholders made pursuant to this Section 6.3(b).

(c) The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the other Subordinated Lien Claimholders, agrees that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at least three (3) Business Days in advance of such hearing and that notice of a hearing to approve DIP Financing or use of Cash Collateral on a final basis shall be adequate if delivered to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee at least fifteen (15) days in advance of such hearing.

6.4 No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.1(a) and (d), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, including the seeking by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Subordinated Lien Documents or otherwise.

6.5 Avoidance Issues. If any First Lien Claimholder is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of the Company or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of First Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such First Lien Claimholders shall be entitled to a reinstatement of First Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall

29

be deemed not the have occurred for all purposes hereunder. 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.

6.6 Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, 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 Subordinated Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations and on account of the Subordinated 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.

6.7 Post Petition Interest

(a) Neither the Subordinated Collateral Trustee nor any Subordinated Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post Petition Interest to the extent of the value of any First Lien Claimholder’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral.

(b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Subordinated Lien Obligations consisting of Post Petition Interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Subordinated Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the value of the First Lien Obligations).

6.8 Waiver. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any First Lien Claimholder arising out of the election of any First Lien Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

6.9 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. The Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each Subordinated Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, acknowledge and agree that

(a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Collateral Documents, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Documents and any Secured Debt

30

Documents which grant a Third Lien on the Collateral constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens; and

(b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Subordinated Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the First Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted 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 Claimholders and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Subordinated Lien Claimholders), the First 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 (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of Post Petition Interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Lien Credit Agreement, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by any Subordinated Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral, with the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral 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 claim or recovery of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders).

SECTION 7. Reliance; Waivers; Etc.

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

Except as otherwise provided herein, the First Lien Claimholders 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have no duty to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated 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 Company or any other Grantor (including the First Lien Documents and the Subordinated Lien Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a) No right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Collateral 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 Company or any other Grantor or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral 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 Subordinated Lien Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

32

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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders, without incurring any liabilities to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders 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 Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholders is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

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

SECTION 8. Miscellaneous.

If a Discharge of First Lien Obligations occurs prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.2, to the extent that First Lien Obligations are incurred or reinstated in accordance with Section 6.5, the Discharge of First Lien Obligations shall (effective upon the incurrence of such additional First Lien Obligations or reinstatement of such First Lien Obligations, as applicable) be deemed to no longer be effective.

8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way 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. The First Lien Collateral Agent and the Subordinated Collateral Trustee shall be directed and authorized to exercise their respective rights and obligations hereunder by the First Lien Claimholders or Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of the applicable First Lien Document or Subordinated Lien Document, including, with respect to the First Lien Collateral Agent, pursuant to the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement and with respect to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee, the Subordinated Lien Collateral Trust Agreement.

In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any of the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, in its or their sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or any Subordinated Lien Claimholder or the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Claimholder, as applicable, it or they shall be under no obligation:

36

(a) to make, and the First Lien Collateral Agent and the First Lien Claimholders or the Subordinated Collateral Trustee and the Subordinated Lien Claimholders, as applicable, shall not make, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided;

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the value of any payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets received by the Subordinated Collateral Trustee or the Subordinated Lien Claimholders that are paid over to the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Claimholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not reduce any of the Subordinated Lien Obligations.
