3. Lack of Reliance on the Lockbox Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Lockbox Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Holder, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Company's obligations under the Transaction Documents and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Lockbox Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide the Collateral Agent or any Holder with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any such obligation arises or the purchase of any Note, or at any time or times thereafter. The Lockbox Agent shall not be responsible to the Collateral Agent or any Holder for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Agreement or the financial condition of the Company or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement, or the financial condition of the Company, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

4. Certain Rights of the Lockbox Agent. No Holder shall have the right to cause the Lockbox Agent to take any action with respect to the Lockbox or the Collateral Account, with only the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders having the right to direct the Lockbox Agent to take any such action. If the Lockbox Agent shall request instructions from the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement, the Lockbox Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders, and to the extent requested, appropriate indemnification in respect of actions to be taken by the Lockbox Agent; and the Lockbox Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Lockbox Agent as a result of the Lockbox Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Collateral Agent or the Majority Holders or as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement.

5. Reliance. The Lockbox Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telephone line facsimile transmission, email, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

6. Limitation of Collateral Agent and Holder Liability. The Collateral Agent and the Holders shall not be liable for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Lockbox Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement.

7. The Lockbox Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Lockbox Agent and its affiliates may lend money to, purchase, sell and trade in securities of and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Company for services to the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Holders; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent on behalf of itself and such affiliates, hereby waives any claim, right or Lien against the Collateral Account in any way arising from or relating to any such loan, securities transaction or business with the Company.

8. Holders. The Lockbox Agent may deem and treat the holder of record of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Lockbox Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of record of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note(s) issued in exchange therefor.

9. Resignation by the Lockbox Agent. (a) The Lockbox Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement at any time by giving 60 Business Days' prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Holders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Lockbox Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent shall appoint a successor Lockbox Agent hereunder.

(c) If a successor Lockbox Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 60 Business Day period, the Lockbox Agent shall then appoint a successor Lockbox Agent who shall serve as Lockbox Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Collateral Agent appoints a successor Lockbox Agent as provided above. If a successor Lockbox Agent has not been appointed within such 60-day period, the Lockbox Agent may, at the sole cost and expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Holders in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Lockbox Agent, and all fees, including but not limited to extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader, and expenses associated therewith shall be payable by the Company.

(d) The fees of any successor Lockbox Agent for its services as such shall be payable by the Company.
