Section 2.4 Exercise of Rights.

(a)Exclusive Rights to Exercise Remedies.

22

ABL Documents, and each Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that it will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies under the ABL Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

The ABL Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any of the ABL Collateral Documents or any other ABL Document (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the Notes Collateral Agents and the Notes Claimholders with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Notes Documents, and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it will not, except as not prohibited herein, take any action that would hinder or delay any exercise of remedies under the Notes Documents or that is otherwise prohibited hereunder, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Notes Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise.

(b)No Other Restrictions. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Notes Claimholder and each ABL Secured Party shall have any and all rights and remedies it may have as a creditor under applicable law, including the right to Exercise any Secured Creditor Remedies; provided, however, that the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Collateral shall be subject to the Lien Priority and to the provisions of this Agreement. The ABL Agent may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent may enforce the provisions of the Notes Documents and each may Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies, all in such order and in such manner as each may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion, consistent with the terms of this Agreement and provisions of applicable law; provided, however, that each of the ABL Agent and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent agrees to provide to the other (x) an Enforcement Notice prior to the commencement of an Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies and (y) copies of any notices that it is required under applicable law to deliver to any Credit Party; provided further, however, that the ABL Agent’s failure to provide the Enforcement Notice (other than in connection with Section 3.6) or any such copies to any Notes Collateral Agent shall not impair any of the ABL Agent’s rights hereunder or under any of the ABL Documents and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent’s failure to provide the Enforcement Notice or any such copies to the ABL Agent shall not impair any of the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder or under any of the Notes Documents. Each Notes Collateral Agent, each Notes Claimholder, the ABL Agent and each ABL Secured Party agrees that it will not institute any suit or other proceeding or assert in any suit, Insolvency Proceeding or other proceeding any claim, in the case of any Notes Collateral Agent and each Notes Claimholder, against either the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party, and in the case of the ABL Agent and each other ABL Secured Party, against any Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Claimholder, seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise, with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person with respect to the

Section 2.5No New Liens; Similar Agreements.

(a)    Until the date upon which the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, no Notes Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets securing any Notes Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents (unless the Credit Parties shall have offered a Lien on such assets to secure the ABL Obligations and the ABL Agent has declined such Lien). If any Notes Claimholder shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets over which assets the ABL Agent does not hold a Lien on the date hereof of any Credit Party securing any Notes Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, then each Notes Collateral Agent (or the relevant Notes Claimholder) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Notes Claimholder, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Notes Document, be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of the ABL Agent as security for the ABL Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify the ABL Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.

(b)    Until the date upon which the Discharge of Notes Obligations shall have occurred, no ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Documents (unless the Credit Parties shall have offered a Lien on such assets to secure the Noteholder Claims and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent (acting as directed by the requisite Notes Claimholders pursuant to the terms of the applicable Note Documents) has declined such Lien). If any ABL Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Credit Party securing any ABL Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of each Notes Collateral Agent under the Notes Documents, then the ABL Agent (or the relevant ABL Secured Party) shall, without the need for any further consent of any other ABL Secured Party or any Credit Party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other ABL Document be deemed to also hold and have held such Lien as agent or bailee for the benefit of each Notes Collateral Agent as security for the Notes Obligations (subject to the Lien Priority and other terms hereof) and shall promptly notify each Notes Collateral Agent in writing of the existence of such Lien upon becoming aware thereof.

ARTICLE 3

ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES

Section 3.1 Certain Actions Permitted. Each Notes Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent may make such demands or file such claims in respect of the Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, as are necessary to prevent the waiver or bar of such claims under applicable statutes of limitations or other statutes, court orders, or rules of procedure at any time (including in any Insolvency Proceeding). Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the Notes Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to ABL Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the required payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of the ABL Obligations so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including set-off) with respect to Notes Priority Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien held by any of them. None of the Notes Collateral Agents, Notes Claimholders, ABL Agent or ABL Secured Parties shall take any other action in connection with the Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations, as applicable, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement (including if for any reason such party is deemed, or is otherwise purporting to be acting in the capacity as, an unsecured or undersecured creditor with respect to such Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations, as applicable).

Section 3.2 Agent for Perfection. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Secured Party, and each Notes Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each applicable Notes Claimholder, as applicable, each agree to hold all Collateral in their respective possession, custody, or control (including as defined in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, 9-107 and 8-106 of the UCC) (or in the possession, custody, or control of agents or bailees for either) as gratuitous bailee for the other solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Collateral, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2 and the priorities otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Solely with respect to any Control Collateral under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC, the PPSA or other applicable law) of the ABL Agent or any Notes Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent and each Notes Collateral Agent, respectively, agrees to also hold control over such Control Collateral as gratuitous agent for and on behalf of the Notes Claimholders and the ABL Secured Parties, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.2 and the priorities otherwise set forth in this Agreement. None of the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, Notes Collateral Agents, or the Notes Claimholders, as applicable, shall have any obligation whatsoever to the others to assure that the Collateral is genuine or owned by any Credit Party, or any other Person or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Agent and the Notes Collateral Agents under this Section 3.2 are and shall be limited solely to holding or maintaining control of the Control Collateral as gratuitous bailee (in each case, to the extent required under the ABL Documents and the Notes Documents, as applicable) for the other Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the applicable Notes Collateral Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable. The ABL Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the Notes Claimholders or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein, the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the Notes Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. The Notes Collateral Agents are not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of any kind for the ABL Secured Parties, or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly provided herein, the Notes Claimholders shall not be obligated to see to the application of any Proceeds of the ABL Priority Collateral deposited into any Deposit Account or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. In addition, (i) each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, hereby agrees and acknowledges that other than with respect to ABL Priority Collateral that may be perfected through the filing of a UCC or PPSA financing statement or similar filing or registration, the ABL Agent’s Liens may be perfected on certain items of ABL Priority Collateral with respect to which a Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens would not be perfected but for the provisions of this Section 3.2, and such Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, hereby further agrees that the foregoing described in this sentence shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement and (ii) the ABL Agent, on behalf of the applicable ABL Secured Parties, hereby agrees and acknowledges that other than with respect to Notes Priority Collateral that may be perfected through the filing of a UCC or PPSA financing statement or similar filing or registration, the Notes Collateral Agent’s Liens may be perfected on certain items of Notes Priority Collateral

27

with respect to which the ABL Agent’s Liens would not be perfected but for the provisions of this Section 3.2, and the ABL Agent, on behalf of the applicable ABL Secured Parties, hereby further agrees that the foregoing described in this sentence shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of each applicable Secured Party represented thereby, hereby waives and releases the other Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to such Agent’s role under this Section 3.2 as bailee with respect to the applicable Control Collateral.

Section 3.3 Sharing of Information and Access. In the event that the ABL Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under the ABL Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Credit Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to the Notes Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall, upon request from the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide to the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent copies thereof. In the event that any Notes Collateral Agent shall, in the exercise of its rights under any Notes Collateral Documents or otherwise, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Credit Party which contain information identifying or pertaining to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, such Notes Collateral Agent shall, upon request from the ABL Agent and as promptly as practicable thereafter, either make available to the ABL Agent such books and records for inspection and duplication or provide the ABL Agent copies thereof.

Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Agent and each Notes Collateral Agent shall (as, and to the extent required by the applicable Credit Documents) each be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to the Collateral as set forth in the applicable Notes Document or the ABL Credit Agreement, as applicable. The ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against each Notes Collateral Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral. The Controlling Notes Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the ABL Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of Notes Priority Collateral. If any insurance claim includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral or relates to business interruption insurance, the insurer will not settle such claim separately with respect to ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral, and if the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the settlement for such claim, either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to make a determination as to the settlement of such claim, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties; provided that proceeds of such claim shall be applied in the same manner (and required amounts) set forth in Section 4.1(f) for sales and dispositions of Collateral; provided, further that 50% of the proceeds of any claim relating to business interruption insurance shall constitute ABL Priority Collateral and the remaining 50% shall constitute Notes Priority Collateral. All proceeds of such insurance shall be remitted to the ABL Agent or the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, subject, in each case, to the terms of their respective Credit Documents, and each Notes Collateral Agent and ABL Agent shall cooperate (if necessary) in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of insurance proceeds in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) to the extent any Proceeds of insurance are received for any liability or indemnification as compensation for a loss with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, such Proceeds shall first be applied to repay the ABL Obligations (to the extent required pursuant to the ABL Documents) and then be applied (to the extent required by the Notes Documents) to the Notes Obligations, and (B) to the extent any Proceeds of insurance are received for any liability or indemnification as compensation for a loss with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, such Proceeds shall first be applied to repay the Notes Obligations (to the extent required pursuant to the Notes Documents) and then be applied (to the extent required by the ABL Documents) to the ABL Obligations.

Section 3.5 No Additional Rights For the Credit Parties Hereunder. Except as provided in Section 3.6, if any ABL Secured Party or Notes Claimholder shall enforce its rights or remedies in violation of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Parties shall not be entitled to use such violation as a defense to any action by any ABL Secured Party or Notes Claimholder, nor to assert such violation as a counterclaim or basis for set off or recoupment against any ABL Secured Party or Notes Claimholder.

Section 3.6 Inspection and Access Rights. (a) Without limiting any rights the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party may otherwise have under applicable law or by agreement, in the event of any liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral (or any other Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies by the ABL Agent) and whether or not any Notes Collateral Agent or any other Notes Claimholder has commenced and is continuing to

28

Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral or otherwise, the ABL Agent or any other Person (including any ABL Credit Party) acting with the consent, or on behalf, of the ABL Agent, shall have the right (a) during the Use Period during normal business hours to access ABL Priority Collateral that (i) is stored or located in or on, (ii) has become an accession with respect to (within the meaning of Section 9-335 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or other applicable law), or (iii) has been commingled with (within the meaning of Section 9-336 of the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA or other applicable law) Notes Priority Collateral, and (b) during the Use Period, shall have the irrevocable right to use the Notes Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, Equipment, Fixtures, Intellectual Property (if any), General Intangibles and Real Property) on a world-wide, rent-free, royalty-free basis, each of the foregoing solely for the limited purposes of assembling, inspecting, copying or downloading information stored on, taking actions to perfect its Lien on, completing a production run of Inventory involving, taking possession of, moving, preparing and advertising for sale, selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing”, “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory), storing or otherwise dealing with the ABL Priority Collateral, in each case without notice to, the involvement of or interference by any Notes Claimholder or liability to any Notes Claimholder; provided, however, that the expiration of the Use Period shall be without prejudice to the sale or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and applicable law. In the event that any ABL Secured Party has commenced and is continuing the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral or any other sale or liquidation of the ABL Priority Collateral has been commenced by an ABL Credit Party (with the consent of the ABL Agent), the Notes Collateral Agents may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer Notes Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of the Use Period, unless the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.6.

(b)    During the period of actual occupation, use and/or control by the ABL Agent or other ABL Secured Parties (or, in each case, their respective employees, agents, advisers and representatives) of any Notes Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage (but not any diminution in value) to such Notes Priority Collateral resulting from such occupancy, use or control, and to leave such Notes Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such occupancy, use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Agent or other ABL Secured Parties have any liability to the Notes Claimholders and/or to any Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 3.6 as a result of any condition (including any environmental condition, claim or liability) on or with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Secured Parties of their rights under Section 3.6 or existing as a result of anything other than the occupancy and use or control by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Notes Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use thereof by the ABL Secured Parties (or the ABL Agent or the Credit Parties with the consent of the ABL Agent, as the case may be), or for any diminution in the value of the Notes Priority Collateral that results from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use of the Notes Priority Collateral by the ABL Secured Parties in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section 3.6. Without limiting the rights granted in this Section 3.6, the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Agent shall reasonably cooperate with the Notes Claimholders and/or the Notes Collateral Agents in connection with any efforts made by the Notes Claimholders and/or the Notes Collateral Agents to sell the Notes Priority Collateral.

(c)    Other than as set forth in Section 3.6(d), the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Notes Collateral Agents or the Notes Claimholders (or any person claiming by, through or under the Notes Claimholders, including any purchaser of the Notes Priority Collateral) or to the ABL Credit Parties, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties of the Notes Priority Collateral.

(d)    The ABL Agent shall (i) use the Notes Priority Collateral in accordance with applicable law; (ii) indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the Notes Claimholders for any injury or damage to Persons or property (ordinary wear-and-tear excepted) caused directly by the acts or omissions of Persons under the ABL Agent’s control and direction; and (iii) indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the Notes Claimholders from any loss, liability, claim, damage (other than diminution in value thereof as a result of the removal of the ABL Priority Collateral) or expense (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by any third party as a direct result of any acts or omissions of the ABL Secured Parties or any of

29

their agents or representatives in connection with their occupation or use of any Notes Priority Collateral; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the ABL Secured Parties will not be liable for any diminution in the value of the Notes Priority Collateral caused by the use of the Notes Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof or the absence or removal of the ABL Priority Collateral therefrom.

(e)    Each Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that it will not take any action that would hinder or obstruct the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties from exercising the rights described in Section 3.6(a) hereof.

(f)    Subject to the terms hereof, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Notes Priority Collateral without notice (except as required by applicable law or this Agreement) to any ABL Secured Party, the involvement of or interference by any ABL Secured Party or liability to any ABL Secured Party as long as, in the case of an actual sale, the respective purchaser assumes and agrees in writing to the obligations of the Notes Collateral Agents and the Notes Claimholders under this Section 3.6.

Each Notes Collateral Agent (i) acknowledges and consents to the grant to the ABL Agent by the Credit Parties of the license referred to in Section 5.03 of the U.S. Security Agreement (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) or such comparable provision in any of the other Security Agreements (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) and (ii) agrees that its Liens in the Notes Priority Collateral shall be subject in all respects to such license. Furthermore, each Notes Collateral Agent agrees that, in connection with any Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies by any Notes Collateral Agent in respect of Notes Priority Collateral, (x) any notice required to be given by any Notes Collateral Agent in connection with such Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall contain an acknowledgement of the existence of such license and (y) each Notes Collateral Agent shall provide written notice to any purchaser, assignee or transferee pursuant to an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies that the applicable assets are subject to such license.

Section 3.7 Tracing of and Priorities in Proceeds. The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, and each Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Notes Claimholders, further agree that prior to an issuance of any notice of Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies by such Secured Party (unless an Insolvency Proceeding then exists with respect to any Credit Party), any proceeds of Collateral, whether or

30

not deposited under control agreements, which are used by any Credit Party to acquire other property which is Collateral shall not (solely as between the Agents and the other Secured Parties) be treated as Proceeds of Collateral for purposes of determining the relative priorities in the Collateral which was so acquired. In addition, unless and until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations occurs, each Notes Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of each applicable Notes Claimholder, consents to the application, prior to the delivery of a Notes Cash Proceeds Notice to the ABL Agent, of cash or other proceeds of Collateral deposited in deposit accounts (other than any cash (consisting of Notes Priority Collateral) held in Notes Priority Accounts) to the repayment of the ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Documents; provided, further, that, for the avoidance of doubt, after the delivery of a Notes Cash Proceeds Notice to the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties shall continue to be able to apply cash or other proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral deposited under control agreements (other than any cash (consisting of Notes Priority Collateral) held in Notes Priority Accounts) to the repayment of the ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Documents.

Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the business day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the participating Notes Claimholders to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and interest shall be calculated to and including such business day if the amounts so paid by participating Notes Claimholders to the bank account designated by the ABL Agent are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time.

(4)  Such purchase and sale shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by the ABL Secured Parties as to the ABL Obligations or otherwise and without recourse to the ABL Secured Parties, except for several (and not joint) representations and warranties as to the following: (x) the notional amount of the ABL Obligations being purchased (including as to the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on such ABL Obligations, fees and expenses thereof) from such ABL Secured Party, (y) that such ABL Secured Party owns the ABL Obligations being sold free and clear of any Liens granted by such ABL Secured Party and (z) such ABL Secured Party has the full right and power to assign such ABL Obligations and such assignment has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action by such ABL Secured Party.

(5)  For the avoidance of doubt, such purchase and sale contemplated by this clause (a) shall not reduce or limit the benefits of the ABL Documents in favor of any ABL Secured Parties that expressly survive the assignment of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations by such ABL Secured Party or the termination of the ABL Documents, including, without limitation, any indemnity obligations of the Credit Parties thereunder.

(6)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any ABL Document, the Credit Parties hereby consent to any sale of the ABL Obligations and assignment of the then existing funding and other commitments under the ABL Documents pursuant to the terms of this clause (a).

(7)  In the event that any one or more of the Notes Claimholders exercises and consummates the purchase option set forth in this Section 3.8(a), (i) the ABL Agent and the Issuing Banks (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to immediately resign under the ABL Credit Agreement, and (ii) the participating Notes Claimholders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require the ABL Agent and the Issuing Banks to immediately resign under the ABL Credit Agreement.

(b)  Collateral Designation Option.

(1)  At any time there exists and is continuing an ABL Default (but in all cases prior to expiration of the Limited IP Standstill Period) (a “Collateral Designation Option Period”), the Controlling Noteholders shall have the option (the “Collateral Designation Option”), but not the obligation, to cause the occurrence of a Collateral Designation Date. In order to exercise such option, the Controlling Noteholders (including by acting through the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, who shall give such notice only at the direction of the Controlling Noteholders) shall give written notice (a “Collateral Designation Exercise Notice”) to ABL Agent during the Collateral Designation Option Period of their intention to effect a Collateral Designation pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof contained in the ABL Credit Agreement, subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.8(b). Promptly following the existence of any ABL Default, the ABL Agent shall provide notice thereof to each Notes Collateral Agent (provided that the failure of the ABL Agent to give such notice shall not result in any liability

32

to the ABL Agent or affect the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement). In the event that the Controlling Noteholders shall have delivered a Collateral Designation Exercise Notice prior to the expiration of the Collateral Designation Option Period as set forth above, the ABL Agent agrees that the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not exercise any foreclosure action with respect to any Specified Collateral until the expiration or earlier termination of the Collateral Designation Option as provided below.

(2)   The occurrence of a Collateral Designation Date pursuant to the exercise of the Collateral Designation Option in accordance with Section 3.8(b)(1) shall be subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i)  On the proposed Collateral Designation Date (which shall be specified in the Collateral Designation Exercise Notice and which shall not be more than forty (40) days after receipt by ABL Agent of the Collateral Designation Exercise Notice (or such later date as may be consented to by the ABL Agent, in its sole discretion)), the participating Notes Claimholders shall pay to the ABL Agent, for the benefit of ABL Secured Parties, an amount equal to 107.5% of the IP Advance then outstanding (provided that such amount shall in no event exceed the aggregate outstanding amount of all loans and letters of credit issued under the ABL Credit Agreement at such time). Such payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds to such bank account of ABL Agent as ABL Agent may designate in writing to the participating Notes Claimholders and shall be received by the ABL Agent prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time on such proposed Collateral Designation Date; and

(ii)  On the proposed Collateral Designation Date, the ABL Agent shall automatically update the ABL Borrowing Base (without the need for any further action or consent of any Credit Party and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein), to give pro forma effect to such Collateral Designation (including (x) the removal of all Intellectual Property Collateral from the ABL Borrowing Base, and (y) the lower advance rates under the ABL Borrowing Base applicable on and after the Collateral Designation Date as set forth in the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) (the “Pro Forma Borrowing Base Modifications”);

provided, however, that no Collateral Designation Date shall be deemed to occur pursuant to this Section 3.8(b) if either (A) the Collateral Designation Date does not occur within forty (40) days after receipt by ABL Agent of the Collateral Designation Exercise Notice (or such later date as may be consented to by the ABL Agent, in its sole discretion) or (B) after giving effect to the Pro Forma Borrowing Base Modifications, the ABL Credit Parties shall not be in compliance with the ABL Financial Covenant.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall (x) more than one Collateral Designation Exercise Notice be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.8(b) during the term of this Agreement, (y) in the event that the participating Notes Claimholders fail to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 3.8(b)(2) on the proposed Collateral Designation Date, the Collateral Designation Option shall immediately terminate and (z) the Notes Claimholders or any Notes Collateral Agent be permitted to exercise the Collateral Designation Option after the expiration of the Limited IP Standstill Period. For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event that the Controlling Noteholders shall have delivered a Collateral Designation Exercise Notice prior to the expiration of the Collateral Designation Option Period as set forth above, the Collateral Designation Option shall expire no later than forty (40) days after the delivery of such Collateral Designation Exercise Notice.

Section 3.9 Payments Over.

(a)   So long as the Discharge of Notes Obligations has not occurred, Notes Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies or otherwise received in contravention of this Agreement (it being understood that the application of proceeds from any Deposit Account prior to the delivery of a Notes Cash Proceeds Notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed in contravention of this Agreement) shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Notes Claimholders in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Controlling Notes Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the

33

ABL Agent or any such other ABL Secured Parties. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(b)    So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, any ABL Priority Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder in connection with the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies (including set off) or otherwise received in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The ABL Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Notes Collateral Agents or any such Notes Claimholder. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Section 3.10UK Third Party Notices.

(a)    Each Notes Collateral Agent agrees that, until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, it will not deliver or require a Credit Party to deliver any notice or direction to any third party (including, without limitation, any bank, insurance company or contract counterparty) or seek to enter into any direct agreement with any such third party to the extent that such third party’s involvement relates to any ABL Priority Collateral located in the United Kingdom and subject to a Lien under English law (including, without limitation, Deposit Accounts domiciled in the United Kingdom).

(b)   The ABL Agent agrees that, until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, it will not deliver or require a Credit Party to deliver any notice or direction to any third party (including, without limitation, any bank, insurance company or contract counterparty) or seek to enter into any direct agreement with any such third party to the extent that such third party’s involvement relates to any Notes Priority Collateral located in the United Kingdom and subject to a Lien under English law (including, without limitation, Deposit Accounts domiciled in the United Kingdom).

Section 3.11Collateral Agency For Foreign Collateral

(a)Appointment of Common Collateral Agent

(1)   It is acknowledged that, in certain jurisdictions outside of the United States of America or Canada, applicable law prevents both the Notes Collateral Agents and the ABL Agent from obtaining separate liens on the Collateral. In such circumstances, solely for such Collateral in those certain jurisdictions (“Foreign Collateral”), the parties hereto agree that (i) the ABL Agent, who may appoint any sub-agent in its sole discretion upon written notice to the other Collateral Agents to act in such capacity, is hereby appointed as the Common Collateral Agent and sub-agent for the Collateral Agents in respect of any Foreign Collateral, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Common Collateral Agent is permitted to hold Liens on such Foreign Collateral in trust for the Secured Parties notwithstanding the inability of any other Collateral Agent to hold similar Liens. In recognition of the foregoing, each Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints the ABL Agent as the Common Collateral Agent, to act as the “collateral agent” under any Foreign Security Documents, pursuant to this Section 3.11, and each Collateral Agent hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the ABL Agent to act as the agent of such Secured Parties for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Foreign Collateral, pursuant to this Section 3.11, granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Notes Obligations or ABL Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Foreign Security Documents or supplements to existing Foreign Security Documents on behalf of the Secured Parties). The Common Collateral Agent, as “collateral agent”, and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Common Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 3.11 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Foreign Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Foreign Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Common Collateral Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under this Agreement and the Foreign Security Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Foreign Security Documents (or any other similar term) with

34

reference to the Common Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(2)   In relation to Foreign Security Documents governed by German law (the “German Transaction Security”), the Common Collateral Agent shall hold, administer and (subject to the same having become enforceable and to the terms of the Foreign Security Documents) realize any such German Transaction Security which is security transferred or assigned (Sicherungseigentum/Sicherungsabtretung) or otherwise granted under a non-accessory security right (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) to it in its own name as agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(3)   In relation to Foreign Security Documents governed by Swiss law (the “Swiss Security Documents”), solely the ABL Agent shall act as Common Collateral Agent and, in such capacity, shall (i) hold and administer any non-accessory security interests (nicht-akzessorische Sicherheit) created under any Swiss Security Documents as fiduciary (treuhänderisch) in its own name but for the benefit of the Secured Parties and (ii) hold and administer any accessory security interests (akzessorische Sicherheit) created under any Swiss Security Documents as direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) in the name and on behalf of the Secured Parties. The ABL Agent in its capacity as Common Collateral Agent shall be empowered to: (i) exercise such rights, remedies, powers and discretions as are specifically delegated to or conferred upon the Common Collateral Agent under the relevant Swiss Security Documents together with such powers and discretions as are reasonably incidental thereto, (ii) take such action on its behalf as may from time to time be authorized under or in accordance with the relevant Swiss Security Documents and (iii) accept, enter into and execute, as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any pledge or other creation of any accessory security interest granted in favor of any Secured Party under Swiss law in connection with the ABL Documents and/or the Notes Documents and to agree to and execute in its name and on its behalf as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any amendments, confirmations and/or alterations to any Swiss Security Document which creates a pledge or any other accessory security interest (akzessorische Sicherheit) including the release or confirmation of release of such Collateral, all subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(4)   No Notes Collateral Agent (i) shall be responsible for or have any liability in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Common Collateral Agent in respect of any Foreign Collateral or with respect to any Credit Documents to which such Notes Collateral Agent is not a party, and (ii) shall have any duty to monitor the Common Collateral Agent or otherwise keep itself informed as to the performance of the Common Collateral Agent under any Credit Document to which the Common Collateral Agent is a party. Except in the circumstance where a Notes Collateral Agent becomes the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, no Notes Collateral Agent shall have any right to direct or instruct the Common Collateral Agent in respect of any Foreign Collateral, it being understood that in all cases, the Common Collateral Agent will act as provided under the ABL Documents to which it is a party, subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)Administration of Foreign Collateral

(1)   The Common Collateral Agent shall hold the Foreign Collateral and any Lien thereon for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Foreign Security Documents and any other Credit Document to which the Common Collateral Agent is a party. The Common Collateral Agent shall administer the Foreign Collateral in the manner contemplated by this Agreement and the Foreign Security Documents and any other Credit Document to which the Common Collateral Agent is a party.

(2)   The Common Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise such rights and remedies with respect to the Foreign Collateral as are granted to it under the Foreign Security Documents and the other Credit Documents to which it is a party and applicable law.

(3)   Subject to Article 4, the ABL Agent and/or the ABL Lenders shall have sole and exclusive authority to direct the Common Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent in respect of all matters

35

relating to the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral and the Foreign Security Documents with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, including, without limitation, to (i) the taking of any action or refraining from taking any action with respect to the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral and/or any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) the release of Common Collateral Agent’s Lien in any portion of the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral in connection with a sale of such Foreign Collateral made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Foreign Security Documents, (iii) the exercise of all privileges, rights and remedies with respect to the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral or arising pursuant to the Foreign Security Documents or applicable law, in each case, with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment, restatement, modification, consent or waiver with respect to the Foreign Security Documents with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral.

(4)   Furthermore, subject to Article 4, in relation to the Notes Priority Collateral the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and/or the Notes Credit Parties shall have sole and exclusive authority to direct the Common Collateral Agent in respect of all matters relating to the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral and the Foreign Security Documents with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, including, without limitation, to (i) the taking of any action or refraining from taking any action with respect to the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral and/or any proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral, (ii) the release of Common Collateral Agent’s Lien in any portion of the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral in connection with a sale of such Foreign Collateral made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Foreign Security Documents, (iii) the exercise of all privileges, rights and remedies with respect to the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral or arising pursuant to the Foreign Security Documents or applicable law, in each case, with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment, restatement, modification, consent or waiver with respect to the Foreign Security Documents with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral.

(5)   Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to direct the Common Collateral Agent in respect of all matters relating to the Foreign Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral, and/or any Foreign Security Documents with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, including the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect thereto. Following the Discharge of Notes Obligations, the ABL Agent shall have the right to direct the Common Collateral Agent in respect of all matters relating to the Foreign Collateral constituting Notes Priority Collateral, and/or any Foreign Security Documents with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, including the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect thereto.

(6)   No Secured Parties shall have any right to take any action with respect to the Foreign Collateral independent of the Common Collateral Agent.

(c)Rights as a Secured Party. The Person serving as the Common Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party as any other Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Common Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Common Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any subsidiary of a Credit Party or other affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Common Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties.

(d)Exculpatory Provisions

(1)   The Common Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Foreign Security Documents to which Common Collateral Agent is a party, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Common Collateral Agent:

36

(i)   shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or ABL Documents has occurred and is continuing;

(ii)   shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (though it hereby is authorized to take such actions in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement)), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the Foreign Security Documents that the Common Collateral Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the ABL Agent or the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent; provided that the Common Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its good faith, based upon the advice of counsel or upon the written opinion of its counsel, may expose the Common Collateral Agent to liability, or for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction or that is contrary to any Foreign Security Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property in violation of any bankruptcy law; and

(iii)   shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the Foreign Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Credit Parties or any of their subsidiaries or Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Common Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.

(2)   The Common Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the ABL Agent or the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or (ii) in the absence of its own willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Common Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any default or Event of Default under the Notes Documents or ABL Documents unless and until written notice describing such default or Event of Default is given to the Common Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties, ABL Agent, or Controlling Notes Collateral Agent.

(3)   The Common Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Foreign Security Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default or (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Foreign Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document.

(e)Reliance by the Common Collateral Agent.

The Common Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Common Collateral Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Common Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the written advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(f)Delegation of Duties.

(1)   The Common Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any Foreign Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Common Collateral Agent. The Common Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective related

37

parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 3.11 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of the Common Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the Foreign Collateral. The Common Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Common Collateral Agent acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in the selection of such sub agents.

(2)   Should any instrument in writing from any Credit Party be required by any sub-agent appointed by the Common Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such sub-agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, such Credit Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Common Collateral Agent. If any such sub-agent, or successor thereto, shall resign or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such sub-agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Common Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new sub-agent. All references in this Agreement or in any other Foreign Security Document to any Lien or Foreign Security Document granted or delivered in favour of the Common Collateral Agent shall include any Lien or Foreign Security Document granted to any sub-agent of the Common Collateral Agent.

(g) Resignation of Common Collateral Agent.

(1)   The Common Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Secured Parties and the Credit Parties. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting through their Collateral Agents, shall have the right (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any ABL Document or Notes Document at the time of such resignation) to appoint a successor, which shall be as designated by ABL Agent. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Common Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Secured Parties) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Common Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Common Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.

Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(2)   With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (1) the retiring Common Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Foreign Security Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Common Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Foreign Security Documents, the retiring Common Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Common Collateral Agent is appointed but in any event, no more than sixty (60) days following the Resignation Effective Date) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Common Collateral Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Common Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Secured Party directly, until such time, if any, the relevant Collateral Agents appoint a successor Common Collateral Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Common Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Common Collateral Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Common Collateral Agent), and the retiring Common Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Foreign Security Documents. After the retiring Common Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Foreign Security Documents, the provisions of this Section 3.11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Common Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Common Collateral Agent was acting as Common Collateral Agent.

(h)Non-Reliance on Common Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties. Each Collateral Agent acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Common Collateral Agent or

38

any of its related parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the ABL Documents, and the Notes Documents, as applicable. Each Collateral Agent also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Common Collateral Agent or its related parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any Foreign Security Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(i)Collateral Matters.

(1)   Each of the Collateral Agents irrevocably authorize the Common Collateral Agent, at its option and in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) to release any Lien or any other claim on any Foreign Collateral granted to or held by the Common Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under any Foreign Security Document (A) upon the Discharge of Notes Obligations and the Discharge of ABL Obligations, as applicable, in which case such Lien shall only be released with respect to the obligations so discharged; (B) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under the Foreign Security Documents, Notes Documents and ABL Documents or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 3.11(i)(2).

(2)   Upon request by the Common Collateral Agent at any time, the ABL Agent or the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent will confirm in writing the Common Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property or take any other action necessary to administer the Foreign Collateral. In each case, as specified in this Section 3.11(i), the Common Collateral Agent will, at the Credit Parties’ joint and several expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Foreign Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Foreign Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Credit Party from its obligations under the Foreign Security Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Foreign Security Documents.

(3)   The Common Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Foreign Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Common Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Common Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Secured Parties for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Foreign Collateral.

(j)Discretionary Rights. The Common Collateral Agent may:

(1)   assume (unless it has received actual notice to the contrary from the Collateral Agents) that (i) no default or Event of Default has occurred and no Credit Party is in breach of or default under its obligations under any of the Foreign Security Documents, Notes Documents, or ABL Documents, and (ii) any right, power, authority or discretion vested by any Foreign Security Documents, Notes Documents, or ABL Documents in any person has not been exercised;

(2)   if it receives any instructions or directions to take any action in relation to the Foreign Collateral, assume that all applicable conditions under this Agreement, ABL Documents and Notes Documents for taking that action have been satisfied;

(3)   engage and pay for the advice or services of accountants, tax advisers, surveyors or other professional advisers or experts and a single legal counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (in addition to the Common Collateral Agent’s general outside counsel);

(4)   without prejudice for the generality of paragraph (c) above, at any time engage and pay for the services of a single additional counsel in each applicable jurisdiction to act as independent counsel to the Common Collateral Agent (in addition to the Common Collateral Agent’s general outside

39

counsel) (and so separate from any lawyers instructed by the other Secured Parties) if the Common Collateral Agent in its reasonable opinion deems this to be desirable and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of its so relying on the advice or services of any professional engaged under this Section 3.11(j); and

(5)   refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of any Secured Party or the ABL Agent or the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent (including bringing any legal action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Security Documents) until it has received any indemnification and/or security that it may in its reasonable discretion require which may be greater in extent than that contained for the benefit of any Secured Party in the Notes Documents or ABL Documents. Notwithstanding any provision of any Notes Documents or ABL Documents to the contrary, the Common Collateral Agent is not obliged to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties, obligations or responsibilities or the exercise of any right, power, authority or discretion if it has grounds for believing the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against, or security for, such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(k)Indemnification of Common Collateral Agent.

(1)   The Credit Parties covenant and agree that they shall defend and be jointly and severally liable to reimburse and indemnify the Common Collateral Agent (and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (“Common Collateral Agent Related Persons”)) for any and all reasonable expenses and other charges actually incurred by the Common Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in connection with the execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the Foreign Security Documents (or any of them) and from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, actual reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Common Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any Foreign Security Document, or any other document delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, in each case, except to the extent caused by the Common Collateral Agent’s or the Common Collateral Agent Related Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final nonappealable judgment.

(2)   The obligations under this Section 3.11(k) shall survive the Discharge of Notes Obligations, the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the resignation of any Common Collateral Agent, and termination of this Agreement and all of the Foreign Security Documents.

(3)   Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 3.11(k), the Credit Parties shall have no obligation to indemnify or reimburse any Person for any Taxes unless such taxes would be subject to indemnification or reimbursement under the ABL Credit Agreement or Notes Documents.

(l)Treatment of Proceeds of Foreign Collateral.

(1)   All amounts from time to time received or recovered by the Common Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of any Foreign Security Document or in connection with the realization or enforcement of all or any part of the Foreign Collateral (the “Foreign Recoveries”) shall be held by the Common Collateral Agent in trust and applied, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in the following order:

(i)   First, in discharging any sums owing to the Common Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such), including (i) amounts owing to Common Collateral Agent to indemnify Common Collateral Agent for claims against it or claims that, in the reasonable discretion of Common Collateral Agent, may be asserted against Common Collateral Agent and are subject to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and (ii) any deductions and withholdings (on account of taxes or otherwise) which Common Collateral Agent is or may be required by any applicable law to make from any distribution or payment made by it under this Agreement and to pay all taxes which may be assessed against it in respect of any of the Foreign Security Documents,

40

or as a consequence of performing its duties, or by virtue of its capacity as Common Collateral Agent (other than in connection with its remuneration for performing its duties under this Agreement); provided that any Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is ABL Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Common Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the ABL Credit Parties and Foreign Collateral or proceeds thereof that is Notes Priority Collateral may only be applied or retained by Common Collateral Agent to secure indemnification obligations or other amounts owing (or potentially owing) by the Notes Credit Parties; and

(ii)  Second, to the ABL Agent or the Controlling Collateral Agent to be applied in accordance with Article 4 hereof.

For the avoidance of doubt, following acceleration of any of the Notes Obligations or the ABL Obligations, Common Collateral Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement), hold any amount of the Foreign Recoveries (subject to the proviso set forth in subclause “first” above) in a non-interest bearing account(s) in the name of the Common Collateral Agent with such financial institution as it may select (including itself) and for so long as the Common Collateral Agent shall think appropriate in its Permitted Discretion for later application as set forth herein in respect of any sum owing to the Common Collateral Agent that the Common Collateral Agent reasonably considers might become due or owing at any time in the future.

(m)Currency Conversion. The Common Collateral Agent is under no obligation to make the payments to the Secured Parties above in the same currency as that in which the obligations and liabilities owing to the Secured Parties are denominated. To the extent any payment from Common Collateral Agent to the ABL Agent or another Collateral Agent causes a currency conversion, the provisions of the Notes Documents or the ABL Documents (as applicable, based on the ABL Agent or the other Collateral Agent receiving payment) relating to currency conversions shall apply.

(n)Benefits of Common Collateral Agent. The provisions of this Section 3.11 granting rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities to the ABL Agent when acting as Common Collateral Agent, are intended to be in addition to, and shall not impair, the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to the ABL Agent under the ABL Documents, as the case may be.

(o)Exemption from restrictions on self-dealing. Each of the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties hereby release each Collateral Agent from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 of the German Civil Code and similar restrictions under any applicable law, in each case to the extent legally possible for such Borrowers and Guarantors or Secured Party. Any Borrower, Guarantor or Secured Party prevented by applicable law or its constitutional documents to grant the release from the restrictions pursuant to section 181 German Civil Code shall notify each Collateral Agent without undue delay.

(p)Parallel Debt.

(1)  Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (and to the extent necessary undertakes in advance) to pay to the Common Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts owing from time to time by such Credit Party to any Secured Party and any other Credit Document pursuant to any Obligations as and when those amounts are due under any Credit Document (such payment undertakings under this Section 3.11 and the obligations and liabilities resulting therefrom being the “Parallel Debt”);

(2)  the Common Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand payment of the Parallel Debt by each Credit Party. Each Credit Party and the Common Collateral Agent acknowledge that the payment obligations of each Credit Party under a Credit Document are several, separate and independent (selbständiges Schuldanerkenntnis) from, and shall not in any way limit or affect, the corresponding obligations of each Credit Party to any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Credit Document (the “Corresponding Debt”) nor shall the amounts for which each Credit Party are liable under

41

this Section 3.11 be limited or affected in any way by its Corresponding Debt provided that: (A) the Parallel Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged (other than, in each case, contingent obligations); (B) the Corresponding Debt shall be decreased to the extent that the Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or discharged; (C) the amount of the Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of the Corresponding Debt; (D) the Parallel Debt will be payable in the currency or currencies of the Corresponding Debt; and (E) for the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt will become due and payable at the same time when the Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable;

(3)  the security granted under any German Security Agreement and any Swiss Security Document with respect to the Parallel Debt is granted to the Common Collateral Agent in its capacity as sole creditor of the Parallel Debt;

(4)  without limiting or affecting the Common Collateral Agent’s rights against any Credit Party (whether under this Agreement or any other Credit Document), each Credit Party acknowledges that: (A) this Agreement shall not impose any obligation on the Common Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Credit Party or otherwise under any Credit Document; and (B) for the purpose of any vote taken under any Credit Document, the Common Collateral Agent shall not be regarded as having any participation or commitment other that those which it has in its capacity as a Lender;

(5)  the Parties to this Agreement acknowledge and confirm that the provisions contained in this Agreement shall not be interpreted so as to increase the maximum total amount of the Obligations;

(6)  the Parallel Debt shall remain effective in case a third person should assume or be entitled, partially or in whole, to any rights of any of the Secured Parties under any Credit Documents, be it by virtue of assignment, assumption or otherwise; and

(7)  all monies received or recovered by the Common Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and all amounts received or recovered by the Common Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any security granted to secure the Parallel Debt shall be applied in accordance with this Agreement.

The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the other Collateral Agents for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties or the Notes Claimholders, as the case may be, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.5, if the new ABL Obligations under the new ABL Documents or the new Notes Obligations under the new Notes Documents are secured by assets of the Credit Parties constituting Collateral that do not also secure the other Obligations, then the other Obligations shall be secured

47

at such time by a Lien on such assets to the same extent provided in the ABL Documents, Notes Collateral Documents and this Agreement, subject to the Lien Priorities set forth herein.

(3)  the Notes Collateral Documents in respect of such Additional Notes Debt or the New Agent for such Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, shall be subject to, and shall comply with, Section 2.5 of this Agreement; and

(4)  each existing Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Credit Parties or the administrative agent or trustee and collateral agent for such Additional Notes Debt or the New Agent for such Refinanced Obligations, as applicable, may reasonably request in order to provide to them the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all respects with the terms of this Agreement.

If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, the Notes Collateral Agents, the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Claimholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or

48

dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Credit Party or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations. No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party, or any Credit Party or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may have.

(b)  If any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Credit Party, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Notes Obligations (a “Term Recovery”), then the Notes Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Term Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Term Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, each Notes Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, and the Notes Claimholders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against or in respect of any Credit Party or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations. No priority or right of any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder, or any Credit Party or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Notes Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder may have.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS

Section 6.1 DIP Financing.

(a)  If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide one or more of the Credit Parties with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 (or any similar provision in or order made under any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision in or order made under any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) (in each case or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured at least in part by all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral and any other Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral), then each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agents securing the Notes Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection with respect to its Lien on the ABL Priority Collateral solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral other than to the extent expressly permitted under Section 6.3), so long as (i) each Notes Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the applicable Notes Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws) and, as to the Notes Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same relative priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case or proceeding under the subject Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of each Notes Collateral Agent on the Notes Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral, (iii) the proposed DIP Financing does not compel any Credit Party to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, (iv) the terms of the DIP Financing do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to an event of default under the DIP Financing documentation, and (v) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a)

49

shall not prevent any Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Claimholders from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or arrangement, proposal or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations under the ABL Documents are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the Notes Claimholders will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens on such ABL Priority Collateral to (1) such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and (2) any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees or similar amounts agreed to by the ABL Collateral Agent, in each case, on the same basis as the other Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations are so subordinated to Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing ABL Obligations under this Agreement.

(b)  If any Credit Party shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of Notes Obligations, and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Claimholders shall seek to provide any Credit Party with, or shall consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and any Notes Claimholder may seek to provide with such DIP Financing to be secured at least in part by all or any portion of the Notes Priority Collateral and any other Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) would be Collateral), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection with respect to its Lien on the Notes Priority Collateral solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Notes Priority Collateral other than to the extent permitted under Section 6.3), so long as (i) the ABL Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case or proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law) and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case or proceeding under the subject Debtor Relief Laws and any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing furnished by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Claimholders is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on Notes Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Notes Collateral Agents and the Notes Claimholders securing the Notes Obligations on Notes Priority Collateral, (iii) the proposed DIP Financing does not compel any Credit Party to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, (iv) the terms of the DIP Financing do not expressly require the liquidation of the Collateral prior to an event of default under the DIP Financing documentation, and (v) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or arrangement, proposal or other plan of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent the Liens on such Notes Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations under the Notes Documents are subordinated or pari passu with the Liens on such Notes Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing, the ABL Secured Parties will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) its Liens on such Notes Priority Collateral to such (1) DIP Financing (and all Notes Obligations relating thereto) and (2) any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees or similar amounts agreed to by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, in each case, on the same basis as the other Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations are so subordinated to Liens on the Notes Priority Collateral securing Notes Obligations under this Agreement.

(c)  All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or any Notes Collateral Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. For clarity, the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not seek to, or accept any Lien that would serve to, “prime” the Lien of the Notes Collateral Agents and the Notes Claimholders on the Notes Priority Collateral and the Notes Collateral Agents and the Notes Claimholders shall not seek to, or accept any Lien that would serve to, “prime” the Lien of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties on the ABL Priority Collateral.

(d)  The Notes Collateral Agent and the Notes Claimholders hereby agree that they shall not offer, and shall not permit any of their respective affiliates (that is controlled by or is under common control with any Notes Claimholder) to offer, to provide any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding or

50

endorse the provision of any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding pursuant to which Liens that are senior or pari passu in priority to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations are granted on the ABL Priority Collateral to secure such DIP Financing. The ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties hereby agree that they shall not offer, and shall not permit any of their respective affiliates (that is controlled by or is under common control with any ABL Secured Party) to offer, to provide any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding or endorse the provision of any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding pursuant to which Liens that are senior or pari passu in priority to the Liens securing the Notes Obligations are granted on the Notes Priority Collateral to secure such DIP Financing. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit any (x) Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Claimholders from offering to provide any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding secured by Liens that are junior and subordinated in priority to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the ABL Priority Collateral (subject to the rights of the ABL Secured Parties to object to (or otherwise contest on any ground) such DIP Financing) or (y) ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party from offering to provide any DIP Financing to the Credit Parties in any Insolvency Proceeding secured by Liens that are junior and subordinated in priority to the Liens securing the Notes Obligations on the Notes Priority Collateral (subject to the rights of the Notes Claimholders to object to (or otherwise contest on any ground) such DIP Financing).

Section 6.2 Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Notes Priority Collateral without the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent’s express written consent. In addition, no Notes Collateral Agent nor the ABL Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay or any other stay with respect to any Collateral without providing three (3) days’ prior written notice to the other, unless such period is agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent to be modified or unless the ABL Agent or Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Notes Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Agent’s or any Notes Collateral Agent’s ability to realize upon its Priority Collateral.

Section 6.3 No Contest; Adequate Protection. (a) Each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall seek or accept any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral or from proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral, except as set forth in this Section 6.3(c) or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the ABL Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. Each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(c) above), (ii) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection payments in the form of interest at the contract rate and reasonable fees and expenses of the ABL Agent, so long as no such payments are made with any proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral, (iii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the ABL Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(c) above) or (iv) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

(b)  The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Notes Obligations, none of them shall seek any form of adequate protection under any or all of §361, §362, §363 or §364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral or from proceeds of Notes Priority Collateral, except as set forth in this Section 6.3(c) or as may otherwise be consented to in writing by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Notes Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by any Notes

51

Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(c) above), (ii) any request by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder for adequate protection payments in the form of interest at the contract rate and reasonable fees and expenses of the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent, so long as no such payments are made with any proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral, (iii) any proposed provision of DIP Financing by any Notes Collateral Agent or Notes Claimholder (or any other Person proposing to provide DIP Financing with the consent of the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent) (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.1(c) above) or (iv) any objection by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder that its interests in the Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to any Notes Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency Proceeding:

(1)  if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted ABL Priority Collateral, but provided it does not constitute Notes Priority Collateral), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Notes Claimholders, may seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request unless in contravention of Section 6.1(c)) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of Notes Collateral Agents on ABL Priority Collateral; and

(2)  in the event the Notes Claimholders or any subset thereof are granted adequate protection in respect of Notes Priority Collateral in the form of additional collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Notes Priority Collateral, but provided it does not constitute ABL Priority Collateral), then each Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and any of the Notes Claimholders, agrees that the ABL Agent on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the Notes Claimholders will not oppose such request unless in contravention of Section 6.1(c)) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Notes Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens of the ABL Agent on Notes Priority Collateral.

(3)  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1(c) or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the Notes Collateral Agents or the Notes Claimholders from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.1(c) or in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Notes Priority Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties from seeking adequate protection with respect to their rights in the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. Each Notes Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, that it will not oppose (and will not support any other Person in opposing) and will be deemed to consent to any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as (i) any such sale is made subject to Section 3.6, (ii) the Notes Collateral Agents, for the benefit of the applicable Notes Claimholders, shall retain a Lien on the proceeds of such sale subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1, and (iii) the proceeds of such sale are applied to the ABL Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(b). The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, that it will not oppose (and will not support any other Person in opposing) and will be deemed to consent to any sale consented to by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent of any Notes Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under

52

the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding or under a court order in respect of measures granted with similar effect under any foreign Debtor Relief Laws) so long as (i) any such sale is made subject to Section 3.6, (ii) the ABL Agent, for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties, shall retain a Lien on the proceeds of such sale subject to the relative priorities set forth in Section 2.1, and (iii) the proceeds of such sale are applied to the Notes Obligations in accordance with Section 4.1(c). Subject to the requirements of this Agreement, if such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Notes Priority Collateral proceeds of such collateral shall be applied in a manner consistent with Section 4.1(f).

Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Notes Claimholders and each ABL Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Notes Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization (or other plan or proposal of similar effect under any Debtor Relief Laws) proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Claimholders in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims subject to the relative priorities set forth herein with respect to the Collateral), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Claimholders hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Notes Obligation claims against the Credit Parties, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Notes Priority Collateral, as applicable, is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Notes Claimholders, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, and expenses (regardless of whether any claim therefor is allowed or allowable in any such Insolvency Proceeding) that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Claimholders, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties from such applicable pool of Priority Collateral, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such applicable pool of Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any foreign Debtor Relief Laws).

Section 6.7 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Notes Collateral Agents, the Notes Claimholders and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)  any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Document;

(b)  any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Document (but solely to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof);

(c)  any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(d)  any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations (other than Discharge of ABL Obligations), or of any of the Notes Collateral Agents or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

53

Section 6.8 Notes Obligations Unconditional. All rights of each Notes Collateral Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent, the ABL Secured Parties and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a)  any lack of validity or enforceability of any Notes Document;

(b)  any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Notes Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Notes Document (but solely to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(a) hereof);

(c)  any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Notes Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(d)  any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Notes Obligations (other than Discharge of Notes Obligations), or of any of the ABL Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Waivers – Bankruptcy Code Sections 506(c) and 1111(b)(2).

(a)  Each Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any ABL Secured Party arising out of the election of any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the ABL Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(b)  The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties, waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Notes Claimholder arising out of the election of any Notes Claimholder of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Notes Priority Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(c)  Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations has occurred, each Notes Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that it will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

(d)  Until the Discharge of the Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, will not assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of any other Debtor Relief Law senior to or on a parity with the Liens on Notes Priority Collateral securing the Notes Obligations for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Collateral.

Section 6.10 Post-Petition Interest.

(a)  Neither any Notes Collateral Agent nor any Notes Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing any ABL Secured Party’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of each Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the applicable Notes Claimholder on the Collateral.

(b)  Neither the ABL Agent nor any other ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of

54

Notes Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing the Notes Claimholder’s claim, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties on the Collateral.

Section 6.11 Reorganization Securities.

If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Credit Party, 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 arrangement, proposal or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of ABL Obligations and on account of Notes Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the Notes 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 or proposal and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

ARTICLE 7

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 7.1 Rights of Subrogation. Each Notes Collateral Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders, agrees that no payment to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 3.8(b)) shall entitle any Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent or any applicable Notes Claimholder may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the ABL Obligations resulting from payments to the ABL Agent by such Person (other than with respect to any amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.8(b)), so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by the ABL Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof. The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that no payment to a Notes Collateral Agent or any Notes Claimholder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of Notes Obligations shall have occurred. Following the Discharge of Notes Obligations, each Notes Collateral Agent agrees to execute such documents, agreements, and instruments as the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the transfer by subrogation to any such Person of an interest in the Notes Obligations resulting from payments to any Notes Collateral Agent by such Person, so long as all costs and expenses (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection therewith by any Notes Collateral Agent are paid by such Person upon request for payment thereof.

Section 7.2 Further Assurances. The Parties will, at their own expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that either Party may reasonably request, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the ABL Agent or the Notes Collateral Agents to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to pay over any payment or distribution, execute any instruments or documents, or take any other action referred to in this Section 7.2, to the extent that such action would contravene any law, order or other legal requirement or any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement (as then in effect), and in the event of a controversy or dispute, such Party may interplead any payment or distribution in any court of competent jurisdiction, without further responsibility in respect of such payment or distribution under this Section 7.2.

Section 7.3 Representations. Each Notes Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the ABL Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the Notes Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself and the applicable Notes Claimholders that it represents and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of such Notes Collateral Agent and the applicable Notes Claimholders, enforceable against such Notes Collateral Agent and the applicable Notes Claimholders in accordance with its terms. The ABL Agent represents and warrants to each Notes Collateral Agent that it has the requisite power and authority under the ABL Documents to enter into, execute, deliver, and carry out the terms of this Agreement on behalf of itself

55

and the ABL Secured Parties and that this Agreement shall be binding obligations of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, enforceable against the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties in accordance with its terms.

Section 7.4 Amendments. Subject to Sections 5.2(c) and (d), no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Party hereto shall be effective unless it is in a written agreement executed by the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent, and, in the case of any amendment or waiver that would be materially adverse to a Credit Party, the Company, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that the Company shall be given notice of any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement promptly after the effectiveness thereof (it being understood that the failure to deliver such notice to the Company shall in no way impact the effectiveness of any such amendment, modification or waiver). Section 7.20 (Limitations of Enforcement against German Credit Parties) may be amended or waived only with the consent of the German Credit Parties, in addition to the ABL Agent and the Controlling Notes Agent, and any such amendment or waiver will be binding on all Parties.

Discharge of Notes Obligations shall have occurred, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, transferees and permitted assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Collateral.

The ABL Secured Parties and the Notes Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any Credit Party on the faith hereof.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES BUT INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

Section 7.15 Intercreditor Agreement. This Agreement is the “Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the ABL Credit Agreement and this Agreement is the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement” referred to in the Initial Notes Indentures. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to subordinate the obligations due to (i) any ABL Secured Party to the obligations due to any Notes Claimholder or (ii) any Notes Claimholder to the obligations due to any ABL Secured Party (in each case, whether before or after the occurrence of an Insolvency Proceeding), it being the intent of the Parties that this Agreement shall effectuate a subordination of Liens but not a subordination of Indebtedness.

Section 7.19 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Credit Parties.

(a)  Each of the Notes Collateral Agents and the ABL Agent hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Credit Parties and all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the ABL Obligations or the Notes Obligations. Each Notes Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent hereby agree that no party shall have any duty to advise any other Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any Notes Collateral Agent or the ABL Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to any other Party to this Agreement, (a) it shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any such information to such other Party or any other Party on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, or (iii) to disclose any other information, (b) it makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and shall not be liable for any information contained therein, and (c) the Party receiving such information hereby agrees to hold the other Party harmless from any action the receiving Party may take or conclusion the receiving Party may reach or draw from any such information, as well as from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses to which such receiving Party may become subject arising out of or in connection with the use of such information.

(b)  The Credit Parties agree that any information provided to the ABL Agent, each Notes Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any Notes Claimholder may be shared by such Person with any ABL Secured Party, any Notes Claimholder, the ABL Agent or any Notes Collateral Agent notwithstanding a request or demand by any such Credit Party that such information be kept confidential; provided that such information shall otherwise be subject to the respective confidentiality provisions in the ABL Credit Agreement and the Notes Documents, as applicable.

Section 7.20Limitations of Enforcement against German Credit Parties.

(a)  The Secured Parties agree not to enforce any payment claims, any security, any guarantee and any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and the joint and several liability pursuant to a relevant Credit Agreement) under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents if and to the extent that (i) the relevant payment and/or enforcement proceeds are applied in satisfaction of any liabilities (including guarantees, letters of credit or similar instruments) of the respective German Credit Party’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) or any entity affiliated to such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than the liabilities of any of the respective German Credit Party’s wholly owned subsidiaries and, for the avoidance of doubt, the respective German Credit Party’s own liabilities) and (ii) such payment and/or enforcement under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents would cause the amount of the respective German Credit Party’s net assets (Reinvermögen), as adjusted pursuant to the following provisions, to fall below the amount of its registered share capital (Stammkapital) (Begründung einer Unterbilanz) or to increase any already existing capital impairment (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz) in violation of sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), (each such event is hereinafter referred to as a “Capital Impairment”). For the purposes of this Section 7.20 net assets (Reinvermögen) “net assets” (Reinvermögen) means the assets calculated on the basis of the balance sheet items listed in sections 266 para. 2 A, B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB) less all liabilities listed in section 266 para. 3 B, C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB) and less such amounts being subject to a distribution barrier (Ausschüttungssperre) pursuant to section 268 para. 8 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), pursuant to section 253 para. 6 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) or pursuant to section 272 para. 5 of the German Commercial Code (HGB), provided that any deviating specifications made by the Federal High Court (Bundesgerichtshof) for the calculation of the net assets shall be taken into account and that for the purposes of the calculation of the enforceable amount (if any), the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows: (i) the amount of any increase of the respective German Credit Party’s registered share capital after the date of this Agreement

59

that has been effected without prior written consent of the relevant Agent shall be deducted from the respective German Credit Party’s registered share capital; (ii) loans provided to the respective German Credit Party by any member of the group shall be disregarded if and to the extent such loans are subordinated or are considered subordinated by operation of law and such loans are not shown in the balance sheet as liability of the respective German Credit Party, provided that the creditor of the corresponding receivables could waive such receivables without violating applicable law or any Credit Document; and (iii) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred in violation of the provisions of the Credit Documents shall be disregarded.

(b)Disposal of Relevant Assets. Provided that an enforcement is limited due to the aforementioned provisions, the respective German Credit Party shall dispose of all assets, to the extent legally permitted and commercially justifiable, which are not necessary for its business (nicht betriebsnotwendig) on market terms where the relevant assets are shown in the balance sheet of the respective German Credit Party with a book value which is significantly lower than the market value of such assets.

(c)Management Notification/Auditor’s Determination. The limitation pursuant to this Section 7.20 shall apply, if following a notice by the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, by a Secured Party) that it intends to enforce any payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and the joint and several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, the respective German Credit Party notifies the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) (“Management Notification”) within ten (10) days upon receipt of the relevant notice that a Capital Impairment would occur (setting out in reasonable detail to what extent a Capital Impairment would occur and providing prima facie evidence that a realization or other measures undertaken in accordance with the mitigation provisions set out above would not prevent such Capital Impairment); if the Management Notification is contested by the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party), the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) shall nevertheless be entitled to enforce any payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and joint and the several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents up to such amount, which is, based on the Management Notification, undisputed between itself and the respective German Credit Party. In relation to the amount which is in dispute, the respective German Credit Party undertakes (at its own cost and expense) to arrange for the preparation of a balance sheet by its auditors in order to have such auditors determine whether (and if so, to what extent) any enforcement of payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, with-out limitation, the guarantee and joint and the several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents would cause a Capital Impairment (the “Auditor’s Determination”). The Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared, taking into account the adjustments set out above in relation to the calculation of a Capital Impairment, by applying the generally accepted accounting principles applicable from time to time in Germany (Grundsätze ordnungsmä ß iger Buchführung) based on the same principles and evaluation methods as consistently applied by the respective German Credit Party in the preparation of its financial statements, in particular in the preparation of its most recent annual balance sheet, and taking into consideration applicable court rulings of German courts. The respective German Credit Party shall provide the Auditor’s Determination to the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) within thirty (30) days from the date on which the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) contested the Management Notification in writing. The Auditor’s Determination shall be binding on the respective German Credit Party and the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party). If, and to the extent that, any payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and the joint and several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents has been enforced without regard to the limitation set forth in Section 7.20(a) because the amount of the available net assets pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination is lower than the amount stated in the Management Notification, the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) shall upon written demand of the respective German Credit Party to the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, a the relevant Secured Party) repay any amount (if and to the extent already paid to the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party)) up to and including the amount calculated in the Auditor’s Determination as of the date the enforcement of any payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and joint and the several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) under this Agreement or any other Credit Document was made. If pursuant to the Auditor’s Determination the amount of the available net assets is higher than set out in the Management Notification, the relevant Agent (or, if applicable, the relevant Secured Party) shall be entitled to enforce into such available net assets accordingly.

60

(d)Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the limitations pursuant to this Section 7.20 shall not apply: (i) if, at the time of the enforcement of payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and the joint and several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) hereunder, the limitations set out in Section 7.20(a) are (due to a change in law or applicable court rulings or otherwise) no longer required in order to protect the managing director(s) of the respective German Credit Party from being personally or criminally liable for such obligation according to section 31 of the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbH-Gesetz); or (ii) if the respective German Credit Party is party as dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) of a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) and/or a profit and loss transfer agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) pursuant to section 30 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG) (directly or through an unbroken chain of domination and/or profit and loss pooling agreements) with the entity whose liabilities are secured or shall be paid, unless the enforcement of payment claims, any security, any guarantee and/or any joint and several liability (including, without limitation, the guarantee and joint and the several liability pursuant to the relevant Credit Document) hereunder or under the other Credit Documents would cause of violation of sections 30, 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG); or (iii) if the respective German Credit Party has a recourse right (Rückgriffsanspruch) pursuant to section 30 para 1 sentence 2 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (GmbHG), towards its direct or indirect shareholder(s) (upstream) or any entity affiliated to such shareholder (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (cross-stream) whose liabilities are secured or shall be paid which is fully recoverable (werthaltig); or (iv) for so long as the respective German Credit Party fails to deliver the Management Notification and/or the Auditor’s Determination pursuant to Section 7.20(c); or (v) to any amounts borrowed under the Credit Documents to the extent the proceeds of such borrowing are on-lent to the respective German Credit Party or its Subsidiaries to the extent that any amounts so on-lent are still outstanding at the time the relevant demand is made against the respective German Credit Party and the repayment of such loans as a result of such on-lending is not prohibited by the Credit Documents or by operation of law; or (vi) if insolvency proceedings have been opened in relation to such German Credit Party and the federal court of justice in Germany (Bundesgerichtshof) has determined that any enforcement of up-stream or cross-stream security and consequential payments no longer cause any personal liability of any managing director of such German Credit Party.

Section 7.21Limitations of Enforcement against Swiss Credit Parties.

(a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, if and to the extent that a Swiss Credit Party becomes liable under this Agreement or any other Credit Document for obligations other than obligations of one of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries (i.e. obligations of its respective direct or indirect parent companies (up-stream liabilities) or sister companies (cross-stream liabilities)) (the “Restricted Obligations”) and if complying with such obligations would not be permitted under Swiss corporate law then applicable, then such obligations and payment amount shall from time to time be limited to the amount permitted to be paid under applicable Swiss law; provided that such limited amount shall at no time be less than the relevant Swiss Credit Party’s distributable capital (presently being the balance sheet profits and any reserves available for distribution) at the time or times performance of the relevant obligations is due or requested from such Swiss Credit Party, and further provided that such limitation (as may apply from time to time or not) shall not (generally or definitively) release the relevant Swiss Credit Party from its obligations in excess thereof, but merely postpone the payment date therefore until such times as payment is again permitted notwithstanding such limitation.

(b)   In case a Swiss Credit Party who must make a payment in respect of Restricted Obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in respect of such payment, such Swiss Credit Party shall:

(1)  procure that such payments can be made without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, or with deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax at a reduced rate, by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law (including double tax treaties) rather than payment of the tax;

(2)  if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) above does not apply, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the rate of 35 per cent. (or such other rate as in force from time to time), or if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (1) above applies for a part of the Swiss Withholding Tax only, deduct Swiss Withholding Tax at the reduced rate resulting after the discharge of part of such tax

61

by notification under applicable law, from any payment made by it in respect of Restricted Obligations and promptly pay any such taxes to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration (Eidgenössische Steuerverwaltung);

(3)  notify the Common Collateral Agent that such notification, or as the case may be, deduction has been made and provide the Common Collateral Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;

(4)  in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax:

(i)  use its best efforts to ensure that any person other than a Secured Party which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment in respect of Restricted Obligations, will, as soon as possible after such deduction (y) request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties) and (z) pay to the Common Collateral Agent upon receipt any amounts so refunded; and

(ii)  if a Secured Party is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such payment, and if requested by the Common Collateral Agent, shall provide the Common Collateral Agent (on its behalf or on behalf of any Secured Party) those documents that are required by law and applicable tax treaties to be provided by the payer of such tax, for each relevant Secured Party, to prepare a claim for refund of Swiss Withholding Tax.

(c)  If a Swiss Credit Party is obliged to withhold Swiss Withholding Tax in accordance with Section 7.21(b) above, the Common Collateral Agent shall be entitled to further enforce the Swiss Credit Party’s obligations and apply proceeds therefrom against the Restricted Obligations up to an amount which is equal to that amount which would have been obtained if no withholding of Swiss Withholding Tax were required, whereby such further enforcements shall always be limited to the maximum amount of the freely distributable reserves of such Swiss Credit Party as set out in paragraph (a) above.

(d)  If and to the extent requested by the Common Collateral Agent and if and to the extent this is from time to time required under Swiss law (restricting profit distributions), in order to allow the Common Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to obtain a maximum benefit under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, as applicable, the relevant Swiss Credit Party shall, and any parent company of such Swiss Credit Party being a party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall procure that such Swiss Credit Party will, promptly implement all such measures and/or to promptly procure the fulfilment of all prerequisites allowing the prompt fulfilment of the Swiss Credit Party’s obligations and allowing the relevant Swiss Credit Party to promptly perform its obligations and make the (requested) payment(s) hereunder from time to time, including the following:

(1)  preparation of an up-to-date audited balance sheet of the relevant Swiss Credit Party;

(2)  confirmation of the auditors of the relevant Swiss Credit Party that the relevant amount represents (the maximum of) freely distributable capital of such Swiss Credit Party;

(3)  approval by a shareholders meeting of the relevant Swiss Credit Party of the capital distribution;

(4)  if the enforcement of Restricted Obligations would be limited due to the effects referred to in this clause, then the relevant Swiss Credit Party shall to the extent permitted by applicable law write up or realize any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the relevant Swiss Credit Party’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig); and

62

(5)  all such other measures necessary or useful to allow payment under the Swiss Credit Party’s obligations and to allow the relevant Swiss Credit Party to make the payments and perform the obligations agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.

Accordingly, the ABL Agent, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement, the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent by its signature below becomes a Notes Collateral Agent under, and the related Additional Notes Debt and Notes Claimholders become subject to and bound by, the Intercreditor Agreement with the same force and effect as if the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent had originally been named therein as a Notes Collateral Agent, and the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and such Notes Claimholders, hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to it as a Notes Collateral Agent and to the Notes Claimholders that it represents as Notes Claimholders. Each reference to a “Notes Collateral Agent” or “Additional Notes Collateral Agent” in the Intercreditor Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent. The Intercreditor Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Additional Notes Collateral Agent represents and warrants to the ABL Agent, the Controlling Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that (i) it has full power and authority to enter into this Joinder Agreement, in its capacity as [agent][trustee] under [describe new Notes Instrument], (ii) this Joinder Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, (iii) the Notes Documents relating to such Additional Notes Debt provide that, upon the New Additional Notes Collateral Agent’s entry into this Joinder Agreement, the Notes Claimholders in respect of such Additional Notes Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as Notes Claimholders and (iv) the applicable Additional Notes Claimholders and the Collateral with respect to such Additional Notes Debt have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
