Upon the entry into any Servicing Agreement by the Issuer that puts in place a new Servicing Agreement to provide for servicing or operations and maintenance services (or similar) by the Issuer or administrative services (or similar) by the Issuer, between the Issuer on the one hand and any PPA Company or 2016 ESA Project Company, LLC, on the other hand, in each case in replacement of any existing Servicing Agreement (such new agreement, the “Replacement Servicing Agreement”), the Issuer shall execute and deliver such security instruments, financing statements and certificates as shall be reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest or other Lien in such Replacement Servicing Agreement (subject to Permitted Liens) and to have such Replacement Servicing Agreement added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral, shall be deemed to relate to such Replacement Servicing Agreement to the same extent and with the same force and effect. Such security interests and Liens will be created under security agreements and other instruments and documents in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee all such instruments and documents as are necessary or that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with this Section 4.8(b).

REMEDIES

Section 5.1 Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(i) the Collateral Agent shall have, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in addition to all other rights of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(ii) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, take possession of the Collateral and keep it on the Issuer’s premises, at no cost to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any other Secured Party or remove any part of it to such other place or places as the Collateral Agent may desire, or the Issuer shall, upon the Collateral Agent’s demand, at the Issuer’s cost, assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent;

(iii) the Collateral Agent may sell and deliver any Collateral at public or private sales, for cash, upon credit, or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent deems advisable, in its sole discretion, and may, if the Collateral Agent deems it reasonable, postpone or adjourn any sale of the Collateral by an announcement at the time and place of sale or of such postponed or adjourned sale

without giving a new notice of sale; provided that in connection with any such sale of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to maintain the confidentiality of any proprietary information of the Issuer (consistent with the confidentiality obligations of the Holders as required by the Indenture Documents);

(iv) the Collateral Agent may give any instruction to the Trustee or Paying Agent, as applicable, with respect to the Collection Account, including notice of sole control or may exercise the rights and remedies provided therein and take any action as provided therein with respect to the Collection Account; and

(v) the Collateral Agent may, concurrently with or following written notice to the Issuer, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Securities Account Investment Property constituting Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Securities Account Investment Property constituting Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise all rights as a holder with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and otherwise act with respect to the Securities Account Investment Property constituting Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.

(b) Without in any way requiring notice to be given in the following manner, the Issuer agrees that any notice by the Collateral Agent of any sale, disposition, or other intended action hereunder or in connection herewith, whether required by the UCC or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to the Issuer if such notice is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or is delivered personally against receipt, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action to the Issuer’s address specified in or pursuant to Section 8.1 unless a longer period is required by Requirement of Law.

(c) If any Collateral is sold on terms other than payment in full at the time of sale, no credit shall be given against the Obligations until the Collateral Agent receives payment, and if the buyer defaults in payment, credit shall be limited to amounts actually received and retained by the Collateral Agent in connection with such sale; in such event, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to retake possession of any Collateral sold to the defaulting buyer for which payment was not made.

(d) In the event the Collateral Agent seeks to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral by judicial process, the Issuer irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by applicable law: (i) the posting of any bond, surety, or security with respect thereto which might otherwise be required; (ii) any demand for possession prior to the commencement of any suit or action to recover the Collateral; and (iii) any requirement that the Collateral Agent retain possession and not dispose of any Collateral until after trial or final judgment.

(e) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Issuer hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all rights to a hearing prior to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the Collateral Agent’s rights to repossess the Collateral without judicial process or to replevy, attach, or levy upon the Collateral.

(f) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent has no obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral or marshal any Collateral for the benefit of any Person.

(g) The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, with any applicable state or federal law requirements may be required in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Issuer hereby expressly releases.

(i) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but no duty or obligation, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or the value of the Collateral, or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, but shall have no obligation to, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(j) Any remedy or enforcement action to be taken hereunder by the Collateral Agent with respect to the Collateral shall be at the written direction of the Trustee (acting pursuant to the direction of the Majority Holders pursuant to the Indenture).

Section 5.2 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document) and the Trustee in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or reasonable costs, expenses, claims or liabilities of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee otherwise relating to or arising in connection with this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Indenture Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document on behalf of the Issuer, any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document, and any indemnification of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee required by the terms hereunder, under the Indenture or any other Indenture Document;

SECOND, to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Section 5.3 Retention of Rights. So long as the Collateral Agent has not exercised remedies under this Agreement with respect to any Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Issuer reserves all rights with respect to Collateral of the sort described in clause (d) of Article II (except as limited by the Indenture Documents), including all rights to use, apply, modify, dispose of or otherwise deal with such Collateral (except as limited by the Indenture Documents).

CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AGENT

Section 6.1 Reliance by Collateral Agent; Indemnity Against Liabilities, etc.

In the absence of written instructions or so long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such funds may be invested in the U.S. Bank National Association Money Market Deposit Account to the extent such investment is available to the Collateral Agent; provided that the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3(a) shall not apply to the extent funds are invested pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Indenture.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any investment losses in respect of any funds invested in accordance with this Section 6.3.

ARTICLE VII

COLLATERAL AGENT AND TRUSTEE RIGHTS, DUTIES AND

LIABILITIES; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY

Section 7.1 The Collateral Agent’s and the Trustee’s Rights, Duties, and Liabilities.

(a) The Issuer assumes all responsibility and liability arising from or relating to the use, sale, collection, foreclosure, realization on, conveyance or other disposition of or involving the Collateral. The Obligations shall not be affected by any failure of the Issuer, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to take any steps to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Liens or to collect or realize upon the Collateral, nor shall loss of or damage to the Collateral release the Issuer from any of the Obligations. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), and at the direction of the Trustee (acting in accordance with the instructions of the Majority Holders pursuant to the Indenture) shall, subject to the terms of the Indenture, without notice to or consent from the Issuer sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time for payment of, modify or amend the terms of, compromise or settle for cash, credit, or otherwise upon any terms, grant other indulgences, extensions, renewals, compositions, or releases, and take or omit to take any other action with respect to the Collateral, any security therefor, any agreement relating thereto, or any Person liable directly or indirectly in connection with any of the foregoing, without discharging or otherwise affecting the liability of the Issuer for the Obligations or under the Indenture, any other Indenture Document or any other agreement now or hereafter existing between any Secured Party and the Issuer.

(b) It is expressly agreed by the Issuer that nothing in this Agreement shall release the Issuer from its obligations and liabilities under each of its contracts and each of its licenses to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not have any obligation or liability under any contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee of any payment relating to any contract or license pursuant hereto that is applied as required herein. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of the Issuer under or pursuant to any contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract or license, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 7.2 Right to Cure. The Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its reasonable discretion, pay any reasonable amount or do any reasonable act required of the Issuer hereunder or under any other Indenture Document in order to preserve, protect, maintain, or enforce the Obligations, the Collateral or the Collateral Agent’s Liens therein, and which the Issuer fails to timely pay or do, including payment of any judgment against the Issuer, any insurance premium, any warehouse charge, any finishing or processing charge, any landlord’s or bailee’s claim, and any other Lien upon or with respect to the Collateral. All payments that the Collateral Agent makes under this Section 7.2 and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses that the Collateral Agent pays or incurs in connection with any action taken

by it hereunder shall be promptly reimbursed by the Issuer. Any payment made or other action taken by the Collateral Agent under this Section 7.2 shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to proceed thereafter as herein provided.

Section 7.3 Confidentiality.

(a) The Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity and as Collateral Agent, and the Trustee, in its individual capacity and as Trustee, agree and acknowledge that all information provided to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee by the Issuer or any Subsidiary (or any holder or indirect equityholder of the Issuer or such Subsidiary) that is expressly identified as relating to the Indenture Documents (“Confidential Information”) shall be considered to be proprietary and confidential information; provided that any information provided to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee by the Issuer or any Subsidiary (or any holder or indirect equityholder of the Issuer or such Subsidiary) that is not so identified, or that is provided to U.S. Bank National Association in its capacity as trustee or collateral agent for the 5% Convertible Notes, shall not be considered Confidential Information. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent agrees to take all reasonable precautions necessary to keep such Confidential Information confidential, which precautions shall be no less stringent than those that the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as applicable, employs to protect its own confidential information. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall not disclose to any third party other than as set forth herein, and shall not use for any purpose other than the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s and the Trustee’s rights and the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement, any such information without the prior written consent of the Issuer. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall limit access to such information received hereunder to (a) its directors, officers, managers and employees and (b) its legal advisors, to each of whom disclosure of such information is necessary for the purposes described above; provided, however, that in each case such party has expressly agreed to maintain such information in confidence under terms and conditions substantially identical to the terms of this Section 7.3.

(b) Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee agree that, unless otherwise provided hereunder or under the Indenture, the Issuer does not have any responsibility whatsoever for any reliance on Confidential Information by the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or by any Person to whom such information is disclosed in connection with this Agreement, whether related to the purposes described above or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee agrees that the Issuer makes no representation or warranty whatsoever to it with respect to Confidential Information or its suitability for such purposes. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee further agrees that it shall not acquire any rights against the Issuer or any employee, officer, director, manager, representative or agent of the Issuer (together with the Issuer and any employee, officer, director, manager, representative or agent of the Issuer, “Confidential Parties”) as a result of the disclosure of Confidential Information to the Trustee and that no Confidential Party has any duty, responsibility, liability or obligation to any Person as a result of any such disclosure.

(c) In the event the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to disclose any Confidential Information received hereunder in order to comply with any applicable laws, regulations or court orders, it may disclose Confidential Information only to the extent necessary for such compliance; provided, however, that it shall give the Issuer, reasonable advance written

notice of any such court proceeding in which such disclosure may be required pursuant to a court order so as to afford the Issuer full and fair opportunity to oppose the issuance of such order and to appeal therefrom and shall cooperate reasonably with the Issuer, as applicable, in opposing such order and in securing confidential treatment of any Confidential Information to be disclosed and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure (in each case at the Issuer’s sole cost and expense and to the extent permitted pursuant to such applicable law, regulation or court order).

Section 7.4 Power of Attorney. The Issuer hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent’s designee as the Issuer’s attorney, with power upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (a) to endorse the Issuer’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, money orders, or other forms of payment or security that come into the Collateral Agent’s or any Secured Party’s possession; (b) to sign the Issuer’s name on any drafts against customers, on assignments of Accounts, on notices of assignment, financing statements, and other public records and to file any such financing statements by electronic means with or without a signature as authorized or required by applicable law or filing procedure; (c) to send requests for verification of Accounts to customers or Account Debtors; and (d) to do all things the Collateral Agent reasonably determines are necessary to carry out the security interest provisions of the Indenture and the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Indenture Document to the contrary, none of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, nor their attorneys, employees or Affiliates will be liable for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than any such liability arising from any such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 7.5 NATURE OF APPOINTMENT; LIMITATION OF DUTY. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VII IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.12. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY INDENTURE DOCUMENT, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

Without limiting the foregoing, the rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Collateral Agent under the Indenture are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent in connection with the execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Indenture Documents and any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent in connection with its appointment and performance under this Agreement and the other Indenture Documents to which it is a party.

(c) Absence of Fiduciary Relation.

Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt if delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by facsimile or on the date five (5) Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 8.1 or in accordance with the latest unrevoked direction from such party given in accordance with this Section 8.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices to the Collateral Agent shall only be effective upon actual receipt.

Section 8.2 Waiver of Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the Issuer hereby waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 8.3 Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon (other than to account for proceeds therefrom) or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Issuer, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Issuer acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 8.3 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.3. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Issuer or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 8.3.

Section 8.4 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Issuer and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Accounts, that certain of the Accounts may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Account may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to an Account. In view of the foregoing, the Issuer agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Account, accept in full payment of any Account such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Account, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 8.5 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Section 4.8, 7.6, 8.16 and 8.17, will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Issuer contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of the Issuer contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Issuer.

Section 8.6 Cumulative Remedies; No Prior Recourse to Collateral. The enumeration herein of the Collateral Agent’s and the Trustee’s rights and remedies is not intended to be exclusive, and such rights and remedies are in addition to and not by way of limitation of any other rights or remedies that the Collateral Agent and the Trustee may have under the UCC, other applicable law or the Indenture Documents. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee shall have the right, in their sole discretion, to determine which rights and remedies are to be exercised and in which order. The exercise of one right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any others, all of which shall be cumulative. The Collateral Agent and the Trustee may, without limitation, proceed directly against any Person liable therefor to collect the Obligations without any prior recourse to the Collateral. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

Section 8.7 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

Section 8.8 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any such payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 8.9 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective representatives, successors, and permitted assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, the Issuer shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee (other than pursuant to a transaction permitted under the Indenture), and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. The rights and benefits of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder shall, if such Persons so agree, inure to any party acquiring any interest in the Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with the terms hereof or of the Indenture.

Section 8.10 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made by the Issuer in the Indenture Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Indenture Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Indenture Documents and the purchase of the Securities by the Investors, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of Sections 7.6(e), 8.16 and 8.17 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Securities or the termination of this Agreement or any other Indenture Document.

Section 8.11 Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are without substantive meaning and should not be construed to modify, enlarge, or restrict any provision.

Section 8.12 Termination and Release. This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate in accordance with the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall, from time to time upon the Issuer’s written request in accordance with Section 11.03 of the Indenture, execute and deliver to the Issuer such documents as the Issuer shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the security interest granted herein as to any funds released by the Trustee from the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 4.13 of the Indenture.

Section 8.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Indenture Documents embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Issuer and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Issuer and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.
