All Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Lender Claims shall be and remain first in priority to all Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Noteholder Claims for all purposes, whether or not such Lender Liens are subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation of the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries.

     2.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Noteholder, and the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other First Lien Creditor, agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to CSC or any of its subsidiaries), the priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by the First Lien Creditors on the Lender Collateral or by the Noteholders on the Common Collateral, as the case may be; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any of the First Lien Creditors to enforce this Agreement, including the priority of the Liens securing the Lender Claims as provided in Sections 2.1 and 3.1 of this Agreement.

So long as the Discharge of Lender Claims has not occurred, (a) the parties hereto agree that (i) neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Noteholder shall acquire any security interest in or shall have any interest in (including following avoidance of any Lender Liens) any property, real or otherwise (other than the Common Collateral), of any of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries or any proceeds thereof and (ii) after the date hereof, if the Second Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders, shall hold (to its actual knowledge), any Lien on any assets of Borrower or any of its subsidiaries securing the Noteholder Claims that are not also subject to the prior Lien of the First Lien Creditors under the Loan Documents, the Second Lien Collateral Agent will notify the First Lien Collateral Agent in writing and, upon demand by the First Lien Collateral Agent, shall either release such Lien or assign it to the First Lien Creditors as security for the Lender Claims (unless the applicable Obligor shall promptly grant a similar Lien on such assets in favor of the First Lien Creditors and such Lien shall be prior to the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent on such assets) and (b) each of Borrower and its subsidiaries agrees it will not grant, and the Guarantor agrees it will not permit its Subsidiaries to grant, any Lien on any of its assets in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or

-6-


 

the Noteholders unless Borrower or such subsidiary has granted a similar perfected prior Lien on such assets in favor of the First Lien Creditors.

     Section 3. Enforcement.

     3.1 Exercise of Remedies.

     (a) So long as the Discharge of Lender Claims has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against CSC or any of its subsidiaries, (i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Noteholders will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including by way of setoff) with respect to any Common Collateral, institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, including any action of foreclosure, or contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Creditor, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Common Collateral under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or object to the forbearance by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Creditors from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral and (ii) the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Creditors shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including by way of setoff and the right to credit bid their debt), refrain from enforcing or exercising remedies, and make determinations regarding release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, all as if the Lien of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders on the Common Collateral under the Noteholder Collateral Documents did not exist; provided that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Guarantor, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may file a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Noteholder Claims, (B) the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder may take any action not adverse to the Liens on the Common Collateral securing the Lender Claims in order to establish, preserve, perfect or protect its rights in the Common Collateral, (C) the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Guarantor arising under either the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case not otherwise in contravention of the terms of this Agreement and (D) the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder shall be entitled to file any proof of claim and other filings and make any arguments and motions in order to preserve or protect its Lien on the Common Collateral that are, in each case, not otherwise in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Indenture and the Common Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Common Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Creditors may enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Creditors to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under bankruptcy or similar laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

     (b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Noteholders, agrees that neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor the Noteholders will take any action that would hinder or cause to delay any exercise of remedies undertaken by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other First Lien Creditor under the Loan Documents as secured parties in respect of any Common Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise. The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Noteholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or the Noteholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or any other law) to object to the manner in which the First Lien Collateral Agent or the other First Lien Creditors seek to enforce the Liens granted on any of the Lender Collateral.

     (c) The Second Lien Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Noteholder Documents shall restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Lien Collateral Agent or the First Lien Creditors with respect to the Common Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

     3.2 Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in clause (a)(ii) of Section 3.1, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the First Lien Creditors upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any of the Noteholder Documents with respect to the Common Collateral.

     Section 4. Payments.

     4.1 Application of Proceeds. So long as the Discharge of Lender Claims has not occurred, the cash proceeds of Common Collateral received in connection with the sale, transfer or other disposition of such Common Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the Lender Claims in such order as specified in the Credit Agreement until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred. Upon the Discharge of Lender Claims, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Collateral Agent (for turnover to the trustee under the Indenture for application in such order as specified in the Indenture and the other applicable Noteholder Documents) any proceeds of Common Collateral held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     4.2 The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Noteholders, agrees that it will not, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including by way of setoff) with respect to any Common Collateral, take or receive any Common Collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred. In the event any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof are received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in violation of this Agreement, such Common Collateral and/or proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors in the same form as received, and shall not be applied to the satisfaction of any Noteholder Claims. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (a)(ii) of Section 3.1, the sole right of the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Noteholders as secured parties with respect to the Common Collateral

-8-


 

is to hold a perfected Lien on the Common Collateral pursuant to the Noteholder Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred.

     4.3 Each Obligor agrees that it will not, in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any Common Collateral by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Noteholders, transfer, deliver or pay, as applicable, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Noteholder any Common Collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred.

     Section 5. Other Agreements.

     5.1 Releases.

     (a) If, in connection with:

     (i) the exercise of any of the First Lien Collateral Agent’s remedies in respect of Common Collateral provided for in Section 3.1, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (collectively, a “Disposition”) of any such Common Collateral; or

     (ii) a Disposition of any Common Collateral permitted under the terms of the Credit Documents (whether or not an event of default thereunder, and as defined therein, has occurred and is occurring),

the First Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of any of the First Lien Creditors, releases any of its Liens on any part of the Common Collateral, in each case other than in connection with a Disposition under clause (ii) above only, if such Disposition would result in an event of default under the Noteholder Documents, then the Liens, if any, of the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Noteholders, on such Common Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released and the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Noteholder, promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent such termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Collateral Agent may request and provide to it to effectively confirm such release.

     (b) The Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Noteholders, shall promptly, at the request of the First Lien Collateral Agent or any officer or agent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, from time to time in the First Lien Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all releases, documents and instruments provided to it by the First Lien Collateral Agent which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any financing statements, mortgage releases, intellectual property releases, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release.

     5.2 Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other First Lien Creditors shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for

-9-


 

any insurance policy covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder. Unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred (and whether or not the Revolving Loan Maturity Date has occurred), all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid to the First Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors to the extent required under the Credit Agreement and thereafter to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Noteholders to the extent required under the applicable Noteholder Documents and then to the owner of the subject property or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

     5.3 Amendments to Noteholder Collateral Documents.

     (a) Unless and until the Discharge of Lender Claims has occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders, no Noteholder Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Noteholder Collateral Document, would be inconsistent in any material respect with any of the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent agrees that each Noteholder Collateral Document related to the Common Collateral shall include substantially the following language:

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Second Lien Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 24, 2004 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as First Lien Collateral Agent, The Bank of New York as Second Lien Collateral Agent, and Coinmach Laundry Corporation. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

     (b) In the event the First Lien Collateral Agent enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the Security Documents related to the Common Collateral for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent, the First Lien Creditors or the Guarantor thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Noteholder Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the Noteholders and without any action by the Second Lien Collateral Agent, CSC or any of its subsidiaries; provided that (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 5.1, (B) any suc
