Trustee unless a Notice of Acceleration is in effect. In addition, the rights of the Grantors with respect to the Collateral Account and Prepayment Deposit Account shall be subject to the restrictions imposed by the Credit Agreement, the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement.

4.9. Securities Accounts. (a) Unless otherwise provided in Section 5.16(c) of the Primary Secured Instruments, on or before the Effective Date, and at all times thereafter until the Secured Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnification Obligations) have been paid in full, all “securities accounts” (as such term is defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC) of any Grantor (other than any Excluded Account) shall be established and maintained with any securities intermediaries reasonably acceptable to the Primary Holder Representatives (it being understood that a securities intermediary shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Public Note Representative if the Company delivers to the Public Note Representative an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the executing officer has made inquiries sufficient to provide the Company a reasonable basis for concluding that such securities intermediary has a sound reputation, is in good standing with applicable regulators and is unlikely to have credit-related or solvency issues during the period in which the applicable Securities Account will be held with such securities intermediary) that have executed a Securities Account Control Agreement (collectively, the “Securities Accounts”). Any Collateral that constitutes a “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC) that has not been delivered pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof shall, upon its inclusion in the Collateral, be promptly credited to a Securities Account and constitute a “security entitlement” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) and each such financial asset shall be transferred to a Securities Account at the time of such inclusion or promptly thereafter. Each Securities Account Control Agreement shall provide that (i) all Collateral credited at any time to any Securities Account (other than any Excluded Account) shall be treated as a “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC), (ii) each Securities Account thereunder is a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC), (iii) the securities intermediary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 8-110(e)) shall be the State of New York (unless the applicable Grantor is an existing client of the applicable securities intermediary and such securities intermediary, as a matter of practice, typically elects another securities intermediary jurisdiction; provided the legal opinion contemplated in the definition of “Securities Account Control Agreement” herein is delivered by counsel in such jurisdiction), and (iv) the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have “control” (provided control is a springing control only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Notice of Acceleration) of all security entitlements by the securities intermediary agreeing in the Securities Account Control Agreement that following the delivery of a “blockage notice” or other applicable notice under such Securities Account Control Agreement it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Trustee without further consent by the Grantor or any other Person (pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC). The Company will use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause each Securities Account Control Agreement to provide that (i) except for the claims and interest of the Secured Parties and the applicable Loan Party in the Securities Accounts, the applicable securities intermediary does not have actual knowledge of any claim to, or interest in, the applicable Securities Account or in any “financial asset” credited thereto, and (ii) the applicable securities intermediary shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee if any person asserts in writing any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the applicable Securities Account or any financial asset credited thereto. All payments made to a Securities Account (other than any Excluded Account) shall, as long as no Notice of Acceleration is in effect, be transferred to a Deposit Account that is subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement.

(b) The Company and the other Grantors shall cause all payments due to the Company or the applicable Grantor in respect of any Pledged Portfolio Investment or any Securitization Retained Security Investment to be deposited in a Deposit Account or credited to a Securities Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement, as applicable.

(c) Each Grantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver any Deposit Account Control Agreement or Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to any Deposit Account or Securities Account (in each case, other than any Excluded Account) as may be required in order to effect perfection by control, respectively, of any cash (pursuant to Section 9-104 of the UCC) or of any financial asset that could constitute a security entitlement (pursuant to Section 8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) at any time included in the Collateral as may be requested by the Collateral Trustee or any Primary Holder Representative.

(d) If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee may cause any cash, cash equivalents and checks held in the Deposit Accounts and the Securities Accounts to be transferred to the Collateral Account maintained under the Collateral Trust Agreement.

4.10. Intellectual Property. To the extent each Grantor considers appropriate, in its reasonable business judgment:

(a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees), solely with respect to material Trademarks owned by such Grantor, will (i) continue to use each Trademark in order to maintain such Trademark in full force, except to the extent that such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that any such use of a Trademark is no longer necessary or beneficial to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, (ii) maintain as in the past the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, and (iv) not (and not knowingly permit any licensee thereof to) knowingly do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark would reasonably be expected to become invalidated.

(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not knowingly infringe the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

(e) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall acquire, become the exclusive licensee of or file an application for the registration of any Intellectual Property with the Applicable IP Office, such Grantor shall report such filing or acquisition to the Collateral Trustee within fifteen Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter. Upon request of the Collateral Trustee or any Primary Holder Representative, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, an Intellectual Property Short Form Security Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 hereof and any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Trustee’s and the Lenders’ security interest in any Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(f) Such Grantor will take reasonable and necessary steps in its reasonable business judgment, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the Applicable IP Office, to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees.

(g) In the event that any material Intellectual Property owned by such Grantor is infringed by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions or no actions as such Grantor deems appropriate in its reasonable business judgment under the circumstances to protect such material Intellectual Property, including without limitation, determining whether to sue for infringement (including damages) and/or seek injunctive relief; and (ii) promptly notify the Collateral Trustee and each Primary Holder Representative after it learns thereof.

4.11. Copies of Material Transaction Documents Relating to Portfolio Investments and Securitization Retained Security Investments (a) . At any time while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee or any Primary Holder Representative, the Grantors will provide, or cause to be provided, to the requesting party copies (in an electronic medium) of any material transaction documents relating to one or more Portfolio Investments or Securitization Retained Security Investments specified in such request; provided that (i) the delivery of such copies shall not constitute any representation or warranty by any Grantor that such copies (a) are correct and complete or (b) constitute all transaction documents relating to the Portfolio Investments or Securitization Retained Security Investments that the Primary Holder Representatives would necessarily determine to be material, and (ii) not later than seven Business Days following the date on which any Portfolio Investments or Securitization Retained Security Investments is withdrawn from the Collateral (as may be permitted under Section 6.12 of the Collateral Trust Agreement) the Primary Holder Representatives agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to return to the Grantors any paper or electronic copies (or if not capable of physical delivery, to permanently erase any such electronic copies) of the transaction documents, related to such withdrawn Portfolio Investments or Securitization Retained Security Investments.

4.12. Letter-of-Credit Rights. The Company and the other Grantors will not be required to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee in respect of (i) any Letter-of-Credit Rights securing obligations under subleases of the Company and the other Grantors or (ii) any other Letter-of-Credit Rights unless the aggregate amount of such Letter-of-Credit Rights exceeds $1,000,000.

SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

(a) So long as a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right, with written notice to the Company, to make test verifications of the Receivables in accordance with Section 5.2(a) of this Agreement, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications.

(b) The Collateral Trustee hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and the Collateral Trustee may pursuant to a written notice to the Company curtail or terminate said authority at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect.

(b) Following the written request of the Collateral Trustee while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables owned by such Grantor that such Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof are required to be made directly to the Collateral Trustee.

5.5. Application of Proceeds. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in the Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations at the times and in the manner provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement.

5.6. Code and Other Remedies. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may 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 or any other Applicable Laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice referred to below or otherwise required by law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by law), may in such circumstances forthwith, without notice to the Company and the relevant Grantor, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, 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 the Collateral Trustee 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 Trustee 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 bid for or purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws, and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Parties by such Grantor as a credit against the purchase price (pursuant to procedures established by the Collateral Trustee), and the Collateral Trustee may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without

further accountability to any Grantor therefor. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith 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 Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order provided for in the Collateral Trust Agreement, and, subject to any Applicable Laws, only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Trustee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC, need the Collateral Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.7. Registration Rights. (a) If the Collateral Trustee shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 5.6 at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee or the Directing Parties (with notice to the Collateral Trustee) it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of two years from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee, are necessary, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Trustee shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, 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 Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Laws) not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Notice of Acceleration is in effect.

5.8. 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 reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency.

5.9. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise the rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent assignable, for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, subject to, in the case of Trademarks, rights of quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

6.1. Collateral Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor appoints the Collateral Trustee 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 while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, 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 while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor

hereby gives the Collateral Trustee the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, with notice to such Grantor, to do any or all of the following while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or Contract or with respect to any other 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 Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other 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 the Collateral Trustee may request to evidence the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefore and the costs thereof;

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.6 or 5.7, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(v)(1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee or as the Collateral Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and indorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Trustee shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

(b) So long as a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, if any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Trustee, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ARB Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys-in-fact 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 this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

6.2. Duty of Collateral Trustee. Subject to any Applicable Laws, the Collateral Trustee’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 Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Trustee, any Secured Party nor any of their 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 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 Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and 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, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.3. Authorization of Financing Statements. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee and any Primary Holder Representative on behalf of the Collateral Trustee, to file or record financing statements (with notice to the Collateral Trustee and the other Holder Representatives) and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Trustee or such Primary Holder Representative, as the case may be, determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee or such Primary Holder Representative, as the case may be, to use the collateral description “all personal property” or words of similar effect in any such financing statements.

6.4. Authority of Collateral Trustee. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Trustee 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 Trustee and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Collateral Trust Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee 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.

SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS

7.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 6.3 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

7.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Trustee or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement; 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 3.3 or such other address specified in writing to the Collateral Trustee in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement.

7.3. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), 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 the Collateral Trustee or 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 the Collateral Trustee or 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 the Collateral Trustee or 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.

7.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and 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 Trustee, except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement and Section 6.3 of the Indenture, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 7.4 shall be void ab initio.

7.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

7.6. 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.

7.7. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7.8. Integration. This Agreement and the other Secured Instruments represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Instruments.

7.12. Releases. (a) At the time and to the extent provided in Section 6.12(a) of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral or any applicable portion thereof shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Trustee and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Trustee shall promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days after receipt of such request) deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and promptly (and in any event within 2 Business Days after receipt of such request) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement shall govern.
