          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any First Lien Security Document to the contrary, LC Cash Collateral held by any Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank pursuant to any Credit Agreement shall be applied as specified in the applicable section of the applicable Credit Agreement.

          (e) The Collateral Agent shall make all payments and distributions under Section 2.01(b): (i) on account of Credit Agreement Obligations of any Class to the Administrative Agent of such Class, pursuant to directions of the Administrative Agent, for redistribution to the holders of the applicable Credit Agreement Obligations; (ii) on account of the Senior Notes First Lien Obligations to the Senior Notes Authorized Representative, pursuant to directions of the Senior Notes Authorized Representative, for redistribution to the holders of the applicable Senior Notes First Lien Obligations; and (iii) on account of the Additional First Lien Obligations of any Class to the Additional Authorized Representative of such Class pursuant to directions of such Additional Authorized Representative, for redistribution to the holders of the applicable Additional First Lien Obligations of such Class.

     SECTION 2.02. Impairments. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Secured Parties of any Class (and not the Secured Parties of any other Class) bear the risk of (a) any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any First Lien Obligations of such Class are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than to any First Lien Obligations of any other Class), (ii) any First Lien Obligations of such Class do not have a valid and perfected Lien on any of the Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations of any other Class and/or (iii) any Person (other than any Authorized Representative or any Secured Party) has a Lien on any Shared Collateral that is senior in priority to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing First Lien Obligations of such Class, but junior to the Lien on such Shared Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations of any other Class (any such Lien being referred to as an “Intervening Lien”, and any such Person being referred to as an “Intervening Creditor”), or (b) the existence of any Collateral securing First Lien Obligations of

any other Class that does not constitute Shared Collateral with respect to First Lien Obligations of such Class (any condition referred to in clause (a) or (b) with respect to First Lien Obligations of such Class being referred to as an “Impairment” of such Class); provided that the existence of any limitation on the maximum claim that may be made against any Mortgaged Property that applies to First Lien Obligations of all Classes shall not be deemed to be an Impairment of First Lien Obligations of any Class. In the event an Impairment exists with respect to First Lien Obligations of any Class, the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class, and the rights of the Secured Parties of such Class (including the right to receive distributions in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the results of such Impairment are borne solely by the Secured Parties of such Class. In furtherance of the foregoing, in the event First Lien Obligations of any Class shall be subject to an Impairment in the form of an Intervening Lien of any Intervening Creditor, the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of First Lien Obligations of such Class. In addition, in the event the First Lien Obligations of any Class are modified pursuant to applicable law (including pursuant to Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of, or order granted pursuant to, any other Bankruptcy Law), any reference to the First Lien Obligations of such Class or the First Lien Documents of such Class shall refer to such obligations or such documents as so modified.

     SECTION 2.03. Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Certain Contests. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the First Lien Credit Documents (other than this Agreement), (i) only the Collateral Agent shall, and shall have the right to, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights, remedies and powers with respect to the Shared Collateral, including any action to perfect (or further perfect) or enforce its security interest in or realize upon any Shared Collateral and any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to, and shall not, follow any instructions or directions with respect to Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Secured Party, other than the Applicable Authorized Representative), it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any such instruction or direction by the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Collateral Agent to liability or be contrary to any First Lien Document or applicable law and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall, or shall instruct the 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, take any other action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or exercise any other right, remedy or power with respect to (including any right, remedy or power under any intercreditor agreement other than this Agreement) any Shared Collateral, whether under any First Lien Credit Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the applicable First Lien Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise

any such rights, remedies and powers with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens established under Section 2.01(a), the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Authorized Representative had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party, or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights, remedies or powers with respect to the Shared Collateral, or seek to cause the Collateral Agent to do so. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the rights and priorities of the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

          (b) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that it will not accept any Lien on any asset of the Company or any Subsidiary securing First Lien Obligations of any Class for the benefit of any Secured Party of such Class unless such Lien is created pursuant to a First Lien Security Document with the Collateral Agent and the collateral created thereby becomes Shared Collateral under this Agreement, other than (i) any Liens on LC Cash Collateral created pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) any funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of First Lien Obligations of any Class and (iii) any rights of set-off created under the First Lien Credit Documents of any Class.

          (c) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) challenge or contest or support any other Person in challenging or contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity, attachment, creation, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of any other Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of any First Lien Obligation of any Class or any First Lien Security Document of any Class or (iii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness 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 the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.04. No Interference; Payment Over. (a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that (i) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) take or cause to be taken any action the purpose of which is, or could reasonably be expected to 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 Collateral Agent, (ii) except as provided in Section 2.03, neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties shall have any right (A) to direct the 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) to consent to the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any

other Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iii) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) institute any suit or proceeding, or assert in any suit or proceeding any claim, against the 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 none of the Collateral Agent, any Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or such other Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iv) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) seek to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Shared Collateral; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.

          (b) Each Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, agrees that if such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties shall at any time obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or receive any Proceeds (other than as a result of any application of Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations of each other Class, (i) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform each Authorized Representative thereof, (ii) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party shall hold such Shared Collateral or Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties of any Class entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (iii) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party shall promptly transfer such Shared Collateral or Proceeds to the Collateral Agent, for distribution in accordance with Section 2.01(b).

     SECTION 2.05. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to First Lien Security Documents; Securitization Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the First Lien Credit Documents or First Lien Security Documents, if at any time the Collateral Agent acting at the direction or with the concurrence of the Applicable Authorized Representative forecloses upon or otherwise exercises legal rights, remedies and powers against any Shared Collateral resulting in a disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens on such Shared Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties of all Classes, will automatically be released and discharged; provided that any Proceeds realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01(b).

          (b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to any First Lien Security Document so long as the Collateral Agent receives a certificate of the Company and an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent stating that such amendment or other modification is permitted by the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents of each Class; (ii) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to any First Lien Security Document solely as such First Lien Security Document relates to First Lien Obligations of a particular Class so

long as (A) such amendment or modification is in accordance with the First Lien Credit Documents of such Class and (B) such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the interests of the Secured Parties of any other Class; and (iii) the Collateral Agent may enter into new or amended and restated securitization intercreditor agreements (each, a “Securitization Intercreditor Agreement”), with the same or other parties, on substantially the same terms as those contained in the Existing Securitization Intercreditor Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof, or enter into new Securitization Intercreditor Agreements or amend or modify any Securitization Intercreditor Agreements on terms which do not adversely affect the interests of the Secured Parties of any Class.

          (c) Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such acknowledgments, consents, confirmations, authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral or amendment or modification to any First Lien Security Document or the entering into of any Securitization Intercreditor Agreement provided for in this Section.

     SECTION 2.06. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy and Insolvency Proceedings. (a) The Authorized Representative of each Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, if the Company or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case or proceeding (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 equivalent provision of, or order granted pursuant to, any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of, or order granted pursuant to, any other Bankruptcy Law, neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens or court ordered charges, if applicable, on the Shared Collateral securing any such financing (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, in each case unless the Applicable Authorized Representative, or any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such 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 the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling 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 Controlling 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 First Lien Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling 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 such Class retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral subject to the DIP Financing Liens, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of such Class are granted Liens on any additional collateral provided to

the Secured Parties of any other Class as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, and (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any First Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b); provided that the Secured Parties of each Class shall have a right to object to the grant, as security for the DIP Financing, of a Lien on any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Class or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; provided further that any Secured Party receiving adequate protection granted in connection with the DIP Financing or such use of cash collateral shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any such adequate protection granted to such Secured Party. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.01 and this Section 2.06, (A) if the Secured Parties of any Class are granted adequate protection in the form of periodic payments in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection shall be for the account of the Secured Parties of such Class and (B) no Secured Party of any Class shall be prohibited from (x) seeking adequate protection in the form of periodic payments to the extent that any Secured Party of any other Class is receiving such payments or (y) objecting to any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral on the basis that any Secured Party of any other Class is receiving such payments (but the Secured Parties of such Class are not).

     SECTION 2.07. Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the First Lien Obligations of such Class shall again have been paid in full in cash.

     SECTION 2.08. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. As between the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the First Lien Secured Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Shared Collateral under policies of insurance covering or constituting Shared Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Shared Collateral; provided that any Proceeds arising therefrom shall be subject to Section 2.01(b).

     SECTION 2.09. Refinancings. The First Lien Obligations of any Class may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that nothing in this paragraph shall affect any limitation on, or requirements in connection with, any such Refinancing that is set forth in the First Lien Credit Documents of any such other Class; and provided further that, if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing indebtedness of such First Lien Obligations 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 Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall be required to execute an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement.

     SECTION 2.10. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the Michigan UCC) 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 First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. Pending delivery to the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative 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 First Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.

          (b) The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative under this Section 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
Determinations with Respect to Obligations and Liens

     Whenever, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any Class shall be required to determine the existence or amount of any First Lien Obligations of any Class, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the First Lien Obligations of any Class (and whether such Lien constitutes a valid and perfected Lien), it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Authorized Representative of such Class and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided that if, notwithstanding such request, the Authorized Representative of the applicable Class shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative 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 a Responsible Officer the Company. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may, for the purposes of this Agreement, 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 or any action or not taken pursuant thereto.

ARTICLE IV
Concerning the Collateral Agent

     SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably appoints Comerica Bank to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the First Lien Security Documents, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the 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 First Lien Obligations, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby grants to the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any First Lien Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Secured Party’s behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Shared Collateral, and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents.

          (b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the 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 the First Lien Security Documents, without regard to any rights, remedies or powers to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled to as a result of their Non-Controlling Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any 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 First Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any First Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling 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 the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, waives any claim they may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party of any other Class arising out of (i) any actions that the Collateral Agent or any such Authorized Representative or 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 or other disposition, 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 First Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the First Lien Security Documents and this Agreement or to the collection of the First Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the First Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable

Authorized Representative or Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.06, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of or order granted pursuant to, any other Bankruptcy Law by, the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any First Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction or any similar provision for any other personal property security laws in any other jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing Secured Parties for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

          (c) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, upon any other obligations being designated hereunder as Additional First Lien Obligations or any other Person becoming an Additional Authorized Representative or any other Persons becoming Additional Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent will continue to act in its capacity as Collateral Agent in respect of the then existing Authorized Representatives and Secured Parties and such Additional Authorized Representative and Additional Secured Parties.

     SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Secured Party. (a) The Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Secured Party of any Class as any other Secured Party of such Class and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent and the term “Secured Party”, “Secured Parties”, “Credit Agreement Secured Party”, “Credit Agreement Secured Parties”, “Additional Secured Party” or “Additional Secured Parties”, as applicable, shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. The Person serving as the Collateral Agent 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 banking, trust, advisory, underwriting or other business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to obtain the consent of or to give notice to or to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

     SECTION 4.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other First Lien Security Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent:

     (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or 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, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the First Lien Security Documents that the Collateral

Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any First Lien Security Document or applicable law;

     (iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the First Lien Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

     (iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct or (iii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and each of the First Lien Credit Documents;

     (v) shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under any First Lien Credit Documents of any Class unless and until notice describing such Default or Event Default (and captioned or otherwise identified as a “notice of default”) is given to the Collateral Agent by the Authorized Representative of such Class or the Company; and

     (vi) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, recital, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any First Lien Security Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (C) the performance or observance 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, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any First Lien Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the validity, attachment, creation, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Lien purported to be created by the First Lien Security Documents, (E) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for First Lien Obligations of any Class or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any First Lien Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 4.04. Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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. The Collateral Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company, any other Grantor or any Authorized Representative), 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.

     SECTION 4.05. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other First Lien Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as the Collateral Agent.

     SECTION 4.06. Resignation of Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the First Lien Security Documents to each Authorized Representative and the Company, and shall be required to resign at the request of Company or any Authorized Representative if, having served in such capacity, it is replaced as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right, in consultation with the Company (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, provided that if such resignation results from the Collateral Agent’s no longer serving as Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement shall be the successor Collateral Agent under this Agreement, if it elects to accept such appointment hereunder. Any successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 4.06 (other than any successor Administrative Agent which shall not be required to satisfy such standards) shall be a commercial bank or other financial institution or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof having (1) a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and (2) a rating of its long-term senior unsecured indebtedness of “A-2” or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A” or better by Standard & Poor’s Services, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, Inc. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent and/or any Authorized Representative may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent (meeting the qualifications set forth above) with respect to the First Lien Obligations, in each case at the sole cost and expense of the Company, and such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall notify each Authorized Representative and the Company that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (x) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the First Lien Security Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any First Lien

Security Document, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Parties) and (y) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided above.

          (b) Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the First Lien Security Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the First Lien Security Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above).

Upon any notice of resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the First Lien Security Documents, each of the Grantors agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (and maintain the validity and priority of) the Liens in favor of the retiring Collateral Agent under the First Lien Security Documents to the successor Collateral Agent.

          (b) to release any Grantor from its obligations under the First Lien Security Documents (or confirm such release) if permitted to do so by the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents; provided that the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company stating that such release is permitted by the terms of the First Lien Credit Documents.

     SECTION 5.02. No Warranties or Liability. (a) Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party of any other Class has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the First Lien Credit Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Authorized Representative and the Secured Parties of any Class will be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and other extensions of credit in the manner determined by them.

          (b) No Authorized Representative or Secured Parties of any Class shall have any express or implied duty to the Authorized Representative or any Secured Party of any other Class to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or

continuance of a Default or an Event of Default under any First Lien Credit Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with.

ARTICLE VI

     The Company may, at any time and from time to time, subject to any limitations contained in the First Lien Credit Documents in effect at such time, designate additional indebtedness and related obligations that are, or are to be, secured by Liens on any assets of the Company or any other Grantor that would, if such Liens were granted, constitute Shared Collateral as “Credit Agreement Obligations” (to the extent issued under a Supplemental Credit Agreement) or “Additional First Lien Obligations” by delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative party hereto at such time a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company:

          (a) describing the indebtedness and other obligations being designated as Credit Agreement Obligations or Additional First Lien Obligations, as the case may be, and including a statement of the maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount of such indebtedness as of the date of such certificate;

          (c) identifying the Person that serves as the Additional Authorized Representative;

          (d) certifying that the incurrence of such Additional First Lien Obligations or Credit Agreement Obligations, the creation of the Liens securing such Additional First Lien Obligations or Credit Agreement Obligations and the designation of such Additional First Lien Obligations or Credit Agreement Obligations as “Additional First Lien Obligations” or “Credit Agreement Obligations”, respectively, hereunder do not violate or result in a default under any provision of the First Lien Credit Documents in effect at such time;

          (e) certifying that the Additional First Lien Documents or Credit Agreement Obligations authorize the Additional Authorized Representative to become a party hereto by executing and delivering an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement and

provide that upon such execution and delivery, such Additional First Lien Obligations or Credit Agreement Obligations and the holders thereof shall become subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement; and

          (f) attaching a fully completed Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement executed and delivered by the Additional Authorized Representative.
