Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties

Section 5.2    Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

Section 5.3    Other Agreements.

(a)    The Collateral Trustee has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee hereunder. The Collateral Trustee is authorized and directed (i) to execute and deliver the Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the date of this Agreement as well as any additional Security Documents from time to time that are required hereunder or reasonably requested by a Grantor or a Secured Debt Representative and is (or will be) bound by all such Security Documents upon effectiveness thereof and the Collateral Trustee shall execute all such Security Documents and (ii) in order to perfect the security interest to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties granted by the Grantors on the Collateral held by such Grantors and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to execute, deliver and/or file or record (if applicable) any such Security Documents, instruments, financing statements or other documents with the applicable government body; provided, however, that such additional Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Secured Debt (other than this Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party). In acting under any Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall enjoy all the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it hereunder. To the extent applicable, the Collateral Trustee shall enjoy the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to it under the Secured Debt Documents as agent of (or otherwise being appointed to act for the benefit of) the related Secured Debt Representative or Secured Parties in acting hereunder.

(b)    Upon receipt of a Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder, the Collateral Trustee shall execute the same.

Section 5.4    Solicitation of Instructions.

(a)    As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of an Act of Required Secured Parties, an Officer’s Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Security Documents.

(b)    No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Required Secured Parties that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 7.9 and 7.10 shall apply with regard to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee in compliance with such request or direction.

Section 5.5    Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Security Document, except for its own negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) arising out of or in connection with this

 

24


Agreement or any other Security Document or any agreement or transaction contemplated hereby irrespective of whether the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of actions; provided that such limitation of liability shall not be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Trustee or any of its Affiliates. The Collateral Trustee shall in no event be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

Section 5.6    Documents in Satisfactory Form. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be deemed to be making a representation as to the accuracy, adequacy or sufficiency of such document.

Section 5.7    Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Trustee may seek and conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by Parent or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Secured Debt Representative as to the Secured Parties for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officer’s Certificate is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate as to such matter and such Officer’s Certificate shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents with respect to the transaction specified in such Officer’s Certificate.

Section 5.8    Secured Debt Default . The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Secured Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Secured Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Trustee shall not be subject to, or bound by, the terms and provisions of any documents to which it is not a party, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the terms and provisions of any document to which it is not a party.

 

25


Section 5.9    Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

Section 5.10    Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability, loss, fee or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.

Section 5.11    Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document with respect to the priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.12    Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.

(a)    Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee will execute, file or record UCC-3 continuation statements and other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee (subject to the priorities set forth herein) if it shall receive a specific written request to execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific document or instrument by any Secured Debt Representative. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Secured Debt Representative a copy of any such written request. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith.

 

26


(b)    Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral.

Section 5.13    Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1)    each of the parties thereto (other than the Collateral Trustee) will remain liable under each of the Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not be executed;

(2)    the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Security Documents; and

(3)    the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties to the Security Documents other than the obligations and duties of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 5.14    No Liability for Clean-Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

 

27


Section 5.15    Act of Required Secured Party, etc.

(a)    At the request of the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Debt Representative shall provide any information requested by the Collateral Trustee in order to determine whether any act, direction or vote of holders of Secured Debt meets the definition of “Act of Required Secured Parties”. Each such Secured Debt Representative shall be required to determine whether any Secured Debt is held by Parent or any Affiliate of a Grantor for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Act of Required Secured Parties.”

(b)    The Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Discharge of Secured Obligations unless and until written notice thereof is delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7.

(c)    The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information provided by each such Secured Debt Representative pursuant to this Section 5.15.

(2)    having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000;

(1)    such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Trustee, and the predecessor Collateral Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder;

(2)    the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of Parent) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security and other property of the Trust Estate within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Security Documents or the Trust Estate; and

(3)    the predecessor Collateral Trustee will transfer its rights under the Parallel Debt to the successor Collateral Trustee.

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article V and the provisions of Sections 7.9 and 7.10.

Section 6.4    Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; provided that (i) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 6.2 and (ii) prior to any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Trustee shall have notified Parent and each Secured Debt Representative thereof in writing.

Section 7.4    Successors and Assigns.

(a)    Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Collateral Trustee may not, in its capacity as such, delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 7.17    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 7.19    Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement will be reinstated if at any time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any Secured Party or Secured Debt Representative or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise).

Section 7.20    Insolvency. This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Grantor.

In no event will any Secured Debt Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

Section 7.22    Modification of Secured Debt Documents. Parent and any other Grantor shall be permitted to amend, replace, refinance, increase, substitute or modify any other Secured Debt Document or enter into any additional Secured Debt or the applicable Secured Debt Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debt Documents.

(a)    Dutch Law Provisions.

The Collateral Trustee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver any documents necessary or appropriate to create and perfect the rights of pledge for the benefit of the Secured Parties under Security Documents governed by the laws of the Netherlands (the “Dutch Security Documents”). Without prejudice to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Documents, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree with the creation of parallel debt obligations of Parent or any relevant Subsidiary as will be described in the Dutch Security Documents (the “Parallel Debt”), including that any payment received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of the Parallel Debt will, conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application, be deemed a satisfaction of a pro rata portion of the corresponding amounts of the Secured Obligations, and any payment to the Secured Parties in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations shall, conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, preference, liquidation or similar laws of general application, be deemed as satisfaction of the corresponding amount of the Parallel Debt. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of the Dutch Security Documents, any resignation by the Collateral Trustee is not effective until its rights under the Parallel Debt are assigned to the successor Collateral Trustee.

(b)    Canadian Law Provisions.

For greater certainty, and without limiting the powers of the Collateral Trustee, each Hedge Provider, each Banking Services Provider and each other Secured Party acting through its respective Secured Debt Representative hereby acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee is also acting as hypothecary representative of the Secured Parties as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec in order to hold hypothecs and security granted by any Grantor on property pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec. The execution by the Collateral Trustee as hypothecary representative prior to this appointment of any deeds of hypothec or other security documents is hereby ratified and confirmed. The appointment of the Collateral Trustee,

 

39


acting as hypothecary representative, shall be deemed to have been ratified and confirmed by each Person accepting the benefits of the Security Documents. The resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee and appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee, shall also include its resignation or removal, and appointment, as the case may be, as hypothecary representative without further formality, except the filing of a notice of replacement of hypothecary representative pursuant to Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec.
