Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral

SECTION 2.01. Priority of Claims.

(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.01(b)), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Applicable Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of any Grantor or otherwise, or any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation or disposition of any such Shared Collateral received by any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party and proceeds of any such distribution (all proceeds of any such sale, collection or other liquidation or disposition of any Shared Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied in the following order:

(i) FIRST, to (A) the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and any Credit Document or Security Document, (B) in the case of any such enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by such Collateral Agent or any of its related Secured Parties in connection therewith, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of agents and legal counsel, and (C) in the case of any such payment pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by such Collateral Agent or any of its related Secured Parties in enforcing its rights thereunder to obtain such payment;

(ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.01(b), to the extent Proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (i), to the payment in full of the Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution and the terms of the applicable Credit Documents;

(iii) THIRD, after the Discharge of the Obligations of each Series, to the Company or any Grantor, as applicable, their successor or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Obligations but senior to the security interest of any other Series of Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

-9-

(d) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any U.S. jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.01(b)), each Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) the Liens securing each Series of Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority and (ii) the benefits and proceeds of the Shared Collateral shall be shared among the Secured Parties as provided herein.

(e) Calculations by the Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement of amounts of Obligations outstanding shall be made using the Dollar Equivalent (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of all such amounts.

SECTION 2.02. Actions With Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a) With respect to any Shared Collateral, (i) only the Applicable Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to the Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), (ii) the Applicable Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to, and shall not, follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Collateral Agent (or any other Secured Party other than the Controlling Secured Parties) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Collateral Agent or other Secured Party (other than the Controlling Secured Parties) shall, or shall instruct the Applicable Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Applicable Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the applicable Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or

-10-

exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties; (ii) any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may take any action to preserve or protect the validity and enforceability of the Liens granted in favor of Secured Parties, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) adverse to the Liens granted in favor of the Controlling Secured Parties or the rights of the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Controlling Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the automatic release of the Liens provided in Section 2.04; and (iii) any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of such Secured Party, including any claims secured by the Shared Collateral, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens (but subject to Section 2.01(a)), the Applicable Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if the Applicable Collateral Agent had a senior and exclusive Lien on such Collateral. No other Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other exercise by the Applicable Collateral Agent of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Secured Party or Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

(b) The Collateral Agents agree that they will not accept any Lien on any asset of any Grantor securing Obligations of any Series for the benefit of any Series of Secured Parties other than pursuant to Security Documents, other than (i) any funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of any Obligations of any Series and (ii) any rights of set-off under the Credit Documents for any Series.

(c) Each Collateral Agent and the Series of Secured Parties for which it is acting hereunder agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Each of the Secured Parties agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) contest or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), the perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any of the Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, or the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. No Interference; Payment Over; No New Liens.

(a) Each Secured Party agrees that (i) it will not challenge or question, or support any other Person in challenging or questioning, in any proceeding the validity or enforceability of any Obligations of any Series or any Security Document or the validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien under any Security Document or the validity or enforceability of the priorities, rights or duties established by, or other provisions of, this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Secured Party from challenging or questioning the validity or enforceability of any Obligations constituting

unmatured interest or the validity of any Lien relating thereto pursuant to Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of foreign law; (ii) it will not take or cause to be taken any action the purpose or intent of which is, or could be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Applicable Collateral Agent, (iii) except as provided in Section 2.02, it shall have no right to (A) direct any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) consent to the exercise by any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), (iv) it will not institute any suit or assert in any Insolvency or Litigation Proceeding or other proceeding any claim against the Applicable Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and the Applicable Collateral Agent or other Secured Party shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Applicable Collateral Agent or other Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (v) it will not attempt, directly or indirectly, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to challenge the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement and (vi) it will not seek, and hereby waives any right, to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Collateral; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) Each Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of each of the Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment in trust for the other Secured Parties that have a security interest in such Shared Collateral and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Applicable Collateral Agent, to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.04. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to Security Documents.

(a) If, at any time, the Applicable Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises remedies against any Shared Collateral, and in connection therewith takes action to release any Liens over such Shared Collateral, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens in favor of each other Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Series of Secured Parties upon such Shared Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens of the Applicable Collateral Agent on such Shared Collateral are released and discharged; provided that any proceeds of any Shared Collateral realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01. Each Collateral Agent agrees to promptly execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Applicable Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section 2.04(a).

-12-

(b) Each Secured Party agrees that if the Applicable Collateral Agent enters into any amendment to any Security Document relating to the Series of Obligations for which the Applicable Collateral Agent is acting, the Company may require each other Collateral Agent to enter into corresponding amendments to the Security Documents governing the Series of Obligations for which such Collateral Agent is acting so long as (i) the effect of such amendments are consistent with the effect to the Security Documents for the Series of Obligations for which the Applicable Collateral Agent is acting, (ii) the effect of such amendment is not to release or subordinate the Liens securing such Series of Obligations or otherwise adverse to the holders of such Series of Obligations (except to the extent already permitted by the Credit Documents governing such Series of Obligations) and (iii) the Company delivers a certificate of an executive officer of the Company to such Collateral Agent stating that the requirements of this sentence have been satisfied.

SECTION 2.05. Certain Agreements With Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(a) This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Grantor or any of its subsidiaries. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, 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 similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of each Series of Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of each Series of Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets or property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of foreign law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar provision of foreign law, each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, in each case unless the Applicable Collateral Agent shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of Controlling Secured Parties, each other Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each other Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of

-13-

each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of such Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01, and (D) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection with respect to Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01; provided that the Secured Parties of any Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any collateral securing such Series that is not Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable to such Obligations until all such Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.07. Insurance. As among the Secured Parties, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral solely to the extent the Secured Parties or holders of any Series of Obligations possess such right under the Credit Documents, and the Applicable Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds received from any such adjustment, settlement or award in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.08. Refinancings. The Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Credit Document) of any Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof in compliance with Section 5.02(c); provided that nothing in this Section shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the Credit Documents of any such other Series; and provided, further that, if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, then such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Agent and any Additional Agent of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder. The Grantors and the Secured Parties agree to enter into any documents or take any other actions reasonably necessary to preserve the priorities provided for herein in light of, and after giving effect to, such Refinancing.

-14-

SECTION 2.09. Certain Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Documents to the contrary, collateral consisting of cash and cash equivalents pledged to secure Credit Agreement Obligations consisting of reimbursement obligations in respect of letters of credit or otherwise held by the Administrative Agent (as defined in the Credit Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement (or any equivalent successor provision) shall be applied as specified in the Credit Agreement and will not constitute Shared Collateral.

SECTION 2.10. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the Applicable Collateral Agent, and the Applicable Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party with a Lien over such Shared Collateral and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.10); provided that at any time after the Discharge of Obligations of the Series for which the Applicable Collateral Agent is acting, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), promptly deliver all Possessory Collateral to the Applicable Collateral Agent (after giving effect to the Discharge of such Obligations) together with any necessary endorsements reasonably requested by the Applicable Collateral Agent (or make such other arrangements as shall be reasonably requested by the Applicable Collateral Agent to allow the Applicable Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral).

(b) Pending delivery to the Applicable Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.10.

(c) The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 2.10 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Secured Parties therein.

ARTICLE III

Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations

Whenever any Collateral Agent shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount

-15-

of any Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided that if any Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company. Each Collateral Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

The Applicable Collateral Agent

SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Applicable Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Applicable Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Applicable Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents, delegates, receivers and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Applicable Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Security Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Secured Parties, and each Collateral Agent, hereby agrees to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Applicable Collateral Agent to facilitate and effect actions taken or intended to be taken by the Applicable Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article IV, such cooperation to include execution and delivery of notices, instruments and other documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Applicable Collateral Agent to effect such actions, and joining in any action, motion or proceeding initiated by the Applicable Collateral Agent for such purposes.

(b) Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the express terms of this Agreement, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in any of the Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which the holders of the Secured Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of such Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Secured Party agrees that no Collateral Agent or other Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Obligations), or to sell, dispose of

-16-

or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to such Secured Party or any Series of Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by such Secured Party from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent for any other Series of Obligations or any other Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions which any Collateral Agent or any Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Obligations, (ii) any election by any Collateral Agent or any holders of Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code by, any Grantor or any of its subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession, in each case, except as a result of a breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Secured Party.

(a) The Person serving as the Applicable Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party under any Series of Obligations that it holds as any other Secured Party of such Series and may exercise the same as though it were not the Applicable Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party” or “Secured Parties” or (as applicable) “Credit Agreement Secured Party,” “Credit Agreement Secured Parties,” “Indenture Secured Party,” “Indenture Secured Parties,” “Additional Secured Party” or “Additional Secured Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Applicable Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Grantors or any subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Applicable Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

SECTION 4.03. Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) No Collateral Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Collateral Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers contemplated hereby and such Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law;

-17-

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to a Grantor or any of its affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the entities serving as a Collateral Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity;

(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (1) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (2) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Each Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under any Series of Obligations unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default and referencing the applicable agreement is given to such Collateral Agent at the address provided in Section 5.01 by the Collateral Agent of such Obligations or a Grantor;

(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement (except for its representations and warranties set forth in Article V) or any Security Document, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (3) the performance or observance by any other Person 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, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of Obligations or (6) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Collateral Agent;

(vi) shall not be required to expend, advance or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in any of the Security Documents or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or under any of the Security Documents unless it is indemnified to its satisfaction and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any person for any loss occasioned by any delay in taking or failure to take any such action while it is awaiting an indemnity satisfactory to it;

(vii) need not segregate money held in trust hereunder from other funds except to the extent required by law. No Collateral Agent shall be liable for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing; and

(viii) beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, no Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, and no Collateral

-18-

Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. Each Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords similar collateral and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee.

(b) Upon any payment or distribution of assets hereunder, the Collateral Agents and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution in the Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, delivered to any Collateral Agent, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto.

(c) In the event that, following a foreclosure in respect of any Collateral, the Applicable Collateral Agent acquires title to any portion of such Collateral or takes any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Applicable Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Applicable Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of CERCLA or otherwise cause the Applicable Collateral Agent to incur liability under CERCLA or any other Federal, state or local law, the Applicable Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Applicable Collateral Agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver.

(d) The rights and protections of the Collateral Agents set forth herein shall also be applicable to each Collateral Agent in its roles as mortgagee, beneficiary, pledgee or any of its other roles (including as Collateral Agent) under the Security Documents.

SECTION 4.04. Reliance by Collateral Agents. Each 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) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each 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. Each Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company, a Collateral Agent or counsel of its choice), 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 advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

-19-

SECTION 4.05. Delegation of Duties. Any Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents, delegates or attorneys-in-fact appointed by such Collateral Agent and shall not be responsible for acts or omissions of any such sub-agents, delegates or attorneys-in-fact appointed by it with due care. Any Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.

It is the purpose of this Section that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the law of any sovereign state) denying or restricting the right of the Applicable Collateral Agent to transact business or bring legal proceedings in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement, and in particular in case of the enforcement thereof on default, or in the case the Applicable Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Applicable Collateral Agent or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted or take any action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the Applicable Collateral Agent appoint an individual or institution as a collateral agent or agent. The following provisions of this Section are adopted to these ends.

In the event that the Applicable Collateral Agent appoints an additional individual or institution as a collateral agent or agent, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Agreement to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Applicable Collateral Agent with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate collateral agent or agent but only to the extent necessary to enable such collateral agent or agent to exercise such powers, rights and remedies.

SECTION 4.06. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has not relied upon any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their Affiliates in making its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each Secured Party also acknowledges that in the future it will not reply upon any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their Affiliates in making its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 4.07. Indemnity. The Company, failing which the other Grantors, shall reimburse each Collateral Agent (which, for purposes of this Section, shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents, delegates, counsel and any receiver appointed under this Agreement) upon request for all properly incurred, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it in connection with this Agreement. Such expenses shall include the properly incurred, reasonable and documented compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of each Collateral Agent’s agents, delegates, counsel, accountants and experts and any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Grantors jointly and severally shall indemnify

-20-

each Collateral Agent (which for purposes of this Section shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents delegates and counsel and any receiver appointed under this Agreement) against any and all loss, liability, claim, taxes, costs, damage or expense (including properly incurred, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of each Collateral Agent’s performance of its duties hereunder and under applicable law, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement and any Collateral hereunder and defending itself against or investigating any claim. The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Obligations or the removal or resignation of any such Collateral Agent. Each Collateral Agent shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve any Grantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company may defend the claim and such Collateral Agent shall provide reasonable cooperation in the defense thereof. The Company or the other Grantors, as applicable, shall pay the properly incurred, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one primary counsel (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) for each Collateral Agent. The Company and the other Grantors need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by any Collateral Agent through such Collateral Agent’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence. No provision of this Agreement requires a Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction. The provisions of this Section 4.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of any Collateral Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing no provision of this Agreement may be terminated, waived, amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Company if such termination, waiver, amendment or modification would adversely affect any Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any Secured Party or any other Collateral Agent, (i) the Collateral Agent for any Additional Obligations may become a party hereto in accordance with Section 5.02(c), (ii) any Subsidiary of the Company may become a party hereto in accordance with Section 5.16 and (iii) the Applicable Collateral Agent may effect amendments and modifications to this Agreement (which may be in the form of an amendment and restatement) to the extent the Applicable Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary to incorporate Additional Obligations into this Agreement.
