Note Collateral Agent. (a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Note Collateral Agent as its collateral agent under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Note Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Note Security Documents to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Note Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Note Security Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Note Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 1509. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Note Security Documents, the Note Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Note Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Note Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Note Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Note Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Indenture, the Note Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that the Note Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Indenture and the Note Security Documents, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VI, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Trustee and the Holders.
Note Collateral Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Note Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to the Note Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and each action taken or right exercised hereunder shall be deemed to have been so taken or exercised by the Note Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
Note Collateral Agent. (a) The Trustee shall initially act as Note Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-Note Collateral Agents as necessary in its sole discretion. In the event the Trustee and the Note Collateral Agent shall at any time not be the same Person, the Note Collateral Agent shall take such actions under the Security Documents as are requested by the Trustee and as are not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of any Security Document. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Note Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents 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 other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Note Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Note Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.
