(a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any stock or other ownership certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), or option or rights in respect of the capital stock or other Pledged Equity Interest of any Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of or other ownership interests in the Pledged Equity Interests, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests shall be received by such Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional collateral security for the Secured Obligations.

(b)            Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to amend its organizational documents in any manner that materially changes the rights of such Grantor with respect to any Pledged Equity Interests or adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, (ii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or (iii) cause or permit any Equity Issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC.

(c)            Each Grantor which is an Equity Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Agent promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.7(a) with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 4.8(c) shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 4.8(c) with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an Equity Issuer or an owner of any Pledged Equity Interests hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Agent and to the transfer of any Pledged Equity Interest to the Collateral Agent or its nominee following an Event of Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Agent or its nominee as a partner, member or shareholder or other equity holder of the Equity Issuer of the related Pledged Equity Interest.

4.8           Voting and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Securities. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes or Pledged Debt Securities, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other ownership right exercised or other action taken which would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Note Document.

(b)            If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing: (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Securities which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Securities to its name or the name of its nominee or agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Agent all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Agent may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein.

4.9           [Reserved].

4.10         Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of any Material Intellectual Property, or do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Material Intellectual Property may lapse, become abandoned, cancelled, dedicated to the public, forfeited, or otherwise impaired, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for a Copyright, Patent, or Trademark constituting Material Intellectual Property.

(b)            Such Grantor shall take all reasonable steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration or issuance of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by or exclusively licensed to such Grantor and constituting Material Intellectual Property, including, but not limited to, those applications and registrations listed on Schedule 5.

(c)            Such Grantor agrees that, should it hereafter (i) obtain an ownership interest in any item of Intellectual Property, (ii) obtain an exclusive license to any Copyrights, (iii) (either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee) file any application for the registration or issuance of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or in any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or (iv) should it file a Statement of Use or an Amendment to Allege Use with respect to any “intent-to-use” Trademark application (the items in clauses (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”), then the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply thereto, and any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically become part of the Collateral, and such Grantor shall give prompt (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith, and shall provide the Collateral Agent promptly (and, in any event within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) with an amended Schedule 5 hereto and promptly take the actions specified in Section 4.10(d) with respect thereto.

Section 5.     REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

5.1           [Reserved].

5.2           [Reserved].

5.3           [Reserved].

5.4           Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Issuer and the Collateral Agent (acting with the written consent of the Trustee or the Majority Holders), or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 5.5) realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder in payment of the Secured Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds to be applied in the following order:

First, to the Collateral Agent to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses under the Note Documents (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its agents and counsel);

Second, to the Trustee in respect of Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid for application by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

Third, to the Trustee in respect of all Secured Obligations (other than those under clause second above) for prepayment of such Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Issuer or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be returned to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Any Proceeds not applied shall be held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral.

In addition, with respect to any proceeds of Insurance received by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Indenture or (ii) if not so permitted or required by the Indenture, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4 and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4.

5.5           Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may (but shall not be obligated to) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the Collateral Agent deems appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the Collateral Agent, as representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Majority Holders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

(b)            The Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4. Only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.

(c)            In the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual Property, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

(d)            For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.5 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, and assignable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired or held by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

5.6           Effect of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Equity Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Equity Issuer would agree to do so.

5.7           Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.     POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES

6.1           Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right (but the Collateral Agent shall not have the obligation), on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i)            in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable;

(ii)            in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as necessary or that the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the permissive rights of the Collateral Agent enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

(b)            If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

(c)            The fees and expenses of the Trustee and Collateral Agent (as applicable) incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1 (including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of its agents and counsel), together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Trustee or the Collateral Agent promptly on demand.

(d)            Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.

6.2           Authorization of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable law, the Collateral Agent is authorized to, but shall have no duty or obligation to, file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Collateral Documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the such Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the such Grantor or such other description as the Collateral Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing authorization, nothing herein shall obligate the Collateral Agent to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Grantors’ Liens, including by the filing of UCC financing statements and continuation statements, which shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantor.

6.3           Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:

(i)            file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;

(iii)            at any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent or persons designated by the Collateral Agent;

(iv)            at the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s interest in all or any part of the Collateral; and

(v)            furnish the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request from time to time.

Section 7.     Lien absolute; waiver of suretyship defenses

7.1           Lien Absolute, Waivers. (a) All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of Grantors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to, in each case, each of the following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof):

(i)            the validity or enforceability of the Indenture or any other Note Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;

(ii)            any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Note Documents;

(iii)            any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Secured Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Secured Obligations;

(iv)            any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Issuer or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries and any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obligations;

(v)            any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Secured Obligations or any subordination of the Secured Obligations to any other obligations;

(vi)            the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Secured Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;

(vii)            any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor under applicable law; and

(viii)            any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Issuer or any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a bankruptcy proceeding or in any other instance.

(b)            In addition each Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set- offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Issuer or any other Grantor or Person against any Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

(c)            Each Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Issuer or any of the other Grantors with respect to the Secured Obligations. Except for notices provided for herein, each Grantor hereby waives notice (to the extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any collateral securing the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, the Collateral. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Issuer, any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

Section 8.     the collateral AGENT

8.1           Authority of Collateral Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

(b)            U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Holders. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Indenture; provided that the Collateral Agent shall, after the payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) (the “Discharge of the Secured Obligations”), exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for herein and otherwise act in accordance with the instructions of the holders of a majority of the Notes (the “Majority Holders”). The provisions of the Indenture relating to the Trustee, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the Trustee and the powers, duties, indemnities and immunities of the Trustee, are incorporated herein by this reference, shall apply to U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association acting in its capacity as the Collateral Agent, and shall survive any termination of the Indenture.

8.2           Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

8.3           Exculpation of the Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Collateral Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any party to the Indenture or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Collateral Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.

(b)            Neither the Collateral Agent, nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Collateral Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Collateral Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Trustee or the Majority Holders and, upon such instruction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to conclusively rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Grantors and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Collateral Agent as a result of the Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Collateral Documents in accordance with the Indenture or, in the limited circumstances specified in Section 8.1(b) hereof, the instructions of the Majority Holders.

(c)            Without limiting the indemnification provisions of the Indenture, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Indenture severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Collateral Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents; provided, no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely and from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts insufficiently indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

(d)            No direction given to the Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement or any Collateral Document accepted or entered into by the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent.

8.4           No Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Note Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral provided hereunder and under any other Note Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Secured Obligations held by it.

8.5           Concerning the Collateral Agent. U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association is entering this Agreement and each other Collateral Agreement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. In acting hereunder and under each other Collateral Agreement, whether or not expressly provided herein or therein, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture as if the provisions setting forth those rights, protections, immunities and indemnities were set forth herein and therein.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise any discretion in connection with its duties herein, and shall act or refrain from acting as directed in writing by the Trustee or the Holders of the requisite percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Notes as permitted by and in accordance with the Indenture, and shall have no liability to any Person and will be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance therewith.

Section 9.     MISCELLANEOUS

9.1           Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Indenture.

9.2           Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11.01 of the Indenture; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

9.3           No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4           Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Note Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Agent.

(c)            The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture and the other Note Documents.

9.5           Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and any such assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.

9.6           Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Secured Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Indenture, any other Note Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. Each Secured Party exercising any right of set-off shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

9.7           Counterparts.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

9.8           Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any 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.
