From and after the commencement of the Marketing Period through and including the Closing Date, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to periodically update any Required Information provided to Acquiror if failure to do so would result in the Marketing Period to cease to be deemed to have commenced. Acquiror shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives, from and against any liability or obligation to providers of the Debt Financing in connection with the Debt Financing and any information provided in connection therewith other than historical financial information provided by the Sellers, and the Acquiror Guaranty shall guaranty the obligations of Acquiror pursuant to this Section 5.6, in each case, other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, (x) any Seller or (y) any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives (in each case, only to the extent the party seeking indemnity under this sentence has committed such willful misconduct or material breach). Further, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, hereby consent to the reasonable and customary use of their and their Affiliates’ trademarks, service marks or logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such trademarks, service marks or logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Sellers or any of their Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Intellectual Property rights and provided that in each instance the use of their and their Affiliates’ trademarks, service marks or logos is first submitted to and approved in writing by Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and any Action or Losses related to such use shall be the responsibility of Acquiror. Acquiror shall promptly upon Sellers’ request reimburse Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Sellers or their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.6 and, to the extent Acquiror does not reimburse Sellers or the applicable Subsidiary for any such cost or expense on or prior to the date of the Closing Date Statement, the Companies shall be deemed to have a current asset on the Closing Date Statement in the amount of such unreimbursed costs and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b), as it applies to Sellers’ obligations under this Section 5.6, shall be deemed satisfied unless Sellers have knowingly and willfully materially breached their obligations under this Section 5.6. If Sellers at any point believe that they have delivered the Required Information in accordance with this Section 5.6, they may deliver to Acquiror a written notice to such effect, in which case Sellers shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information unless Acquiror shall provide to Sellers within two (2) Business Days a written notice describing in reasonable detail what information that constitutes Required Information Sellers have not delivered. In furtherance of the foregoing, Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Lenders to identify in writing and in reasonable detail all financial data expected to constitute Required Information (other than the financial statements described herein) on or before October 3, 2012 and shall provide Sellers such information as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof.

Secured Parties Each Secured Party that is not a party to the Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and with respect to the actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or may affect such Secured Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates shall be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article IX of the Credit Agreement.
The Collateral Agent The Collateral Agent will hold in accordance with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder and thereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Section 12 of the Credit Agreement.
Concerning Collateral Agent (a) The Collateral Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent 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 action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Collateral Agent.
Additional Secured Parties The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Agent) this Article VIII, Section 9.3, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11, Section 9.17, Section 9.24 and Section 10.1 (and, solely with respect to L/C Issuers, Section 1.1(c)) and the decisions and actions of Agent and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 8.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each of Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.
Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent The Collateral Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Securities of this Agreement, the Purchase Contract Agreement, the Securities or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Securities. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Company with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Purchase Contract Agent or any Holder of Securities (or any of their affiliates) that may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates.
Rights of the Collateral Agent In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Agent and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Agent is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
