(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each First-Out Authorized Representative will have the exclusive right to deal with that portion of the Collateral consisting of cash collateral held to cash collateralize letter of credit obligations under its applicable First-Out Document, including exercising rights under control agreements with respect to such accounts.

Unless it has been directed to the contrary by an Act of Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee in any event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to any default under any Pari Passu Document as it may deem advisable and in the best interest of the Secured Parties.

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s fees and any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Security Document (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations that are then due and payable) (collectively, the “Collateral Trustee Obligations”);

FIFTH, to each Excess First-Out Authorized Representative for application to the equal and ratable payment of any Excess First-Out Obligations that are then due and payable in such order as may be provided in the Excess First-Out Documents in an amount sufficient to cause the Discharge of Excess First-Out Obligations; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series of Pari Passu Debt has released its Lien on any Collateral as described in Section 4.4 below, then such Series of Pari Passu Debt and any related Pari Passu Obligations of that series thereafter shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any Collateral so released by that series.

(b)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under and as defined in any First-Out Document, if any Last-Out Authorized Representative or Last-Out Secured Party exercises any rights of set-off, banker’s liens or consolidation of accounts prior to the Discharge of First-Out Obligations, the relevant Last-Out Authorized Representative or Last-Out Secured Party shall immediately segregate and hold an amount equal to the amount so discharged in trust for application to the First-Out Obligations and forthwith deliver such amount to the Collateral Trustee to be applied pursuant to this Section 3.4. The foregoing sentence regarding the treatment of First-Out Obligations relative to Last-Out Obligations shall apply mutatis mutandis to the treatment of Specified Pari Passu Obligations relative to Excess First-Out Obligations.

(c)    This Section 3.4 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Pari Passu Obligations, each present and future Authorized Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of Pari Passu Liens. The Authorized Representative of each future Series of Pari Passu Debt will be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder including a lien sharing and priority confirmation as provided in Section 3.8 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Pari Passu Debt.

(a)    The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article 3 or, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any lawful directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Required Secured Parties.

(b)    No Authorized Representative or Secured Party (other than the Collateral Trustee) will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee.

SECTION 3.7 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the Collateral at any time transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estates solely and exclusively for the benefit of the present and future holders of present and future Pari Passu Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4.

(a)    The Collateral Trustee will, as Collateral Trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Pari Passu Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof if:

(1)    such Pari Passu Debt is identified as Pari Passu Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b); and

(2)    unless such Indebtedness is issued under an existing Pari Passu Document for any Series of Pari Passu Debt whose Authorized Representative is already party to this Agreement, the designated Authorized Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the incurrence of revolving credit obligations under commitments that have previously been designated as Pari Passu Debt, including under a First- Out Document, and (y) the issuance of letters of credit and incurrence of reimbursement obligations in respect thereof under commitments that have previously been designated as Pari Passu Debt, including under a First-Out Document, shall automatically constitute Pari Passu Debt and shall not require compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b).

(b)    The Issuer will be permitted to designate as Pari Passu Debt hereunder any Indebtedness that is incurred by the Issuer or any other Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Pari Passu Documents. The Issuer may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee a Pari Passu Obligation Designation that:

(1)    states that the Issuer or such other Grantor intends to incur, or has incurred, additional Pari Passu Debt (“Additional Pari Passu Obligations”) which will be (as specified in such Pari Passu Debt Designation) Pari Passu Debt not prohibited by any Pari Passu Document to be incurred and secured by a Pari Passu Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Pari Passu Debt;

(4)    states that the Issuer and each other Grantor has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Pari Passu Obligations are secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Pari Passu Documents;

(5)    attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Pari Passu Obligation Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Issuer and each other Grantor; and

(6)    states that the Issuer has caused a copy of the Additional Pari Passu Obligation Designation and the related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Authorized Representative.

Although the Issuer shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Pari Passu Obligation Designation and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Authorized Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Pari Passu Obligation Designation and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Authorized Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Pari Passu Obligations if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Each of the Collateral Trustee and any then existing Authorized Representative shall have the right to request that the Issuer provide a legal opinion of counsel as to the Additional Pari Passu Obligations being secured by a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Issuer or any other Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any Pari Passu Documents.

(c)    With respect to any Pari Passu Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, Issuer and each of the other Grantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee, any Authorized Representative or any Act of Required Secured Parties, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Security Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by clause (d) below), to ensure that the Additional Pari Passu Obligations are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Security Documents, and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Security Documents). Issuer and each Grantor hereby further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) or Section 3.8(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, Issuer and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis.

(d)    Without limitation of the foregoing, Issuer and each of the other Grantors agrees to take the following actions with respect to any Real Property Collateral with respect to all Additional Pari Passu Obligations within 90 days of the later of the delivery of the Additional Pari Passu Obligation Designation and the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property or the entry into a lease or sublease in respect thereof:

(2)    as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any other Grantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined under the Indenture) of the Issuer in a transaction or other circumstance that is permitted by Section

4.12 of the Indenture, if any, and is permitted by all of the other Pari Passu Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided, that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will not be released if the sale or disposition is subject to the “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” provisions of the Indenture;

(5)    if any Grantor (i) ceases to be a Guarantor (including as a result of being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined under the Indenture) or ceasing to be a Subsidiary) (ii) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined under the Indenture) or (iii) is released from its obligations under each of the Security Documents, then the Liens on such Collateral and the obligations of such Grantor under its Guarantee of the Pari Passu Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; and

(b)    The Collateral Trustee agrees for the benefit of the Issuer and the other Grantors that if the Collateral Trustee at any time receives an Officer’s Certificate stating that

(A) the signing officer has read Article 4 of this Agreement and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such officer has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not the conditions precedent in this Agreement and all other Security Documents, if any, relating to the release of the Collateral have been complied with and (C) in the opinion of such officer, such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, then the Collateral Trustee will execute (with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and deliver such release to the Issuer or other applicable Grantor on or before the later of (x) the date specified in such request for such release and (y) the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt of the items required by this Section 4.1(b) by the Collateral Trustee.

(a)    Release of Liens in Respect of the Notes. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Collateral Trustee’s Lien will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the Indenture or any other Obligations under the Indenture, and the right of the holders of the Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Lien on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

(b)    The Collateral Trustee agrees for the benefit of the Issuer and the other Grantors that if the Collateral Trustee at any time receives an Officer’s Certificate stating that (A) the signing officer has read Article 4 of this Agreement and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such officer has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not the conditions

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 to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

(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, or cause the Issuer to 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 Authorized Representative. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Authorized 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.

The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Pari Passu Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral.

(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 Collateral Trustee.

(b)    The Collateral Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement unless it has received an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Security Documents.

(2)    maintain such other insurance, to such extent and against such risks (and with such deductibles, retentions and exclusions), including fire and other risks insured against by extended coverage and coverage for acts of terrorism, as is customary for companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including public liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death or property damage occurring upon, in, about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or controlled by them;

(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. All obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Authorized Representative and each present and future holder of Pari Passu Obligations.

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 7.18 Grantors and Additional Grantors. The Issuer represents and warrants that each Person who is a Grantor on the date hereof has duly executed this Agreement. The Issuer will cause each Person that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Security Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, within 30 Business Days of the date on which it was acquired or created, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Issuer shall promptly provide each Authorized Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.21; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Authorized Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.21 are complied with.

Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral or any title insurance policy required by any real property mortgage at any time after the date of the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or otherwise, that Authorized Representative or that Pari Passu Secured Party, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Trustee, for the account of the Secured Parties to be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.

(a)    This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Grantor. The relative rights, as provided for in this Agreement, will continue after the commencement of any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the commencement of any such case, as provided in this Agreement.

(b)    The Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the First-Out Secured Parties) and each First-Out Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of the First-Out Secured Parties, and the Collateral Trustee and the Last-Out Authorized Representatives (each on behalf of the Last-Out Secured Parties) agrees that because of, among other things, their differing rights to payment of the proceeds of the Collateral, the First-Out Obligations are fundamentally different from the Last-Out Obligations, are not substantially similar to the Last-Out Obligations within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code Section 1122(a), and must be separately classified from the Last-Out Obligations in any plan of reorganization proposed, confirmed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the First-Out Secured Parties and the Last-Out Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim or are properly classified in one class (rather than separate claims or classes of secured claims), then each of the Last-Out Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that all distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement and the First-Out Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, costs, expenses, premiums, and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, before any distribution from, or in respect of, any Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the Last-Out Secured Parties, with the Collateral Trustee and their applicable Last-Out Authorized Representative (each on behalf of the Last-Out Secured Parties) and the Last-Out Secured Parties acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First-Out Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this section and this Agreement, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Last-Out Secured Parties.

(c)    None of any Last-Out Authorized Representatives or any other Last-Out Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall propose, vote in favor of, or otherwise directly or indirectly support any plan of reorganization that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement (including but not limited to Sections 7.20 and 3.4), other than (i) if such a plan classifies the claims held by the Last-Out Secured Parties with the claims held by the First-Out Secured Parties and such plan provides for treatment that, taking into account the turnover obligations under Section 7.20(b),

would provide for the Discharge of First-Out Obligations on the effective date of such plan (or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances), or (ii) with the prior written consent of the First-Out Authorized Representatives. Furthermore, none of any Last-Out Authorized Representative or any other Last-Out Secured Party (whether in the capacity of a secured creditor or an unsecured creditor) shall object to or contest (or support any other party in objection or contesting) a plan of reorganization or other dispositive restructuring plan on the grounds that the First-Out Obligations and Last-Out Obligations are classified separately.

(d)    Each Last-Out Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Last-Out Secured Party, agrees that (A) no Last-Out Authorized Representative nor any other Last-Out Secured Party will object to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party objecting to, opposing or contesting) (i) any request by any First-Out Authorized Representative or any other First-Out Secured Party for adequate protection, including for payment of post-petition interest, or (ii) any objection by any First-Out Authorized Representative or any other First-Out Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First-Out Authorized Representative or First-Out Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection; and (B) the Last-Out Secured Parties will seek relief granting adequate protection, in the case of liens or claims granted as adequate protection only to the extent such protection is subordinate to, and subordinate to matching adequate protection in favor of, the claims of the First-Out Secured Parties.

(e)    Each Last-Out Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Last-Out Secured Party, agrees that neither such Last-Out Authorized Representative nor any other Last-Out Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any First-Out Authorized Representative or any other First-Out Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of First-Out Obligations consisting of post-petition interest or cash collateralization of all letters of credit to the extent of the value of the Liens securing the First-Out Obligations (it being understood that such value will be determined without regard to the existence of the Last-Out Obligations).

SECTION 7.21 Rights and Immunities of Authorized Representatives. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture and any future Authorized Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Pari Passu Debt with respect to which such Person will act as representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Authorized Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

SECTION 7.22 Purchase Right. The First-Out Secured Parties agree that following the first to occur of (a) the acceleration of the First-Out Obligations, (b) a payment default under any First-Out Document that has not been cured or waived by the applicable First- Out Secured Parties within 60 days of the occurrence thereof or (c) the commencement of an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding with respect to the Issuer or any other Grantor (each, a “Purchase Event”), within thirty (30) days of the Purchase Event, one or more of the Specified Pari Passu Secured Parties (the “Purchasers”) may request by written notice to each First-Out Authorized Representative, and the First-Out Secured Parties hereby offer such Purchasers the

option, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the aggregate amount of outstanding First-Out Obligations (including unfunded commitments under any First-Out Document) outstanding at the time of purchase at par, plus (i) any premium that would be applicable upon prepayment of the First-Out Obligations and accrued and unpaid interest, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, at the applicable post-default rate and fees (including breakage costs), (ii) if applicable, the cash collateral to be furnished to the First-Out Secured Parties providing letters of credit under the First-Out Documents in such amounts (not to exceed 105% thereof) as such First-Out Secured Party determines is reasonably necessary to secure such First-Out Secured Party in connection with any such outstanding and undrawn letters of credit and (iii) in the case of any First-Out Cash Management Obligations, the amount that would be payable to First-Out Secured Parties, including all amounts payable as a result of the termination (or early termination) thereof, in any event, without warranty or representation or recourse (except for representations and warranties required to be made by assigning lenders pursuant to customary assignment documentation). Promptly following the receipt of such notice, each First-Out Authorized Representative will deliver to the Purchasers a statement of the amount of the First-Out Obligations provided by the First-Out Secured Parties represented by each such First-Out Authorized Representative, if any, then outstanding and the amount of the cash collateral requested by any such First-Out Authorized Representative to be delivered pursuant to the applicable First-Out Documents. If such right is exercised, the First-Out Secured Parties and the Purchasers shall endeavor to close promptly thereafter but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the request. If one or more of the Specified Pari Passu Secured Parties exercise such purchase right, any such purchase shall be allocated pro-rata among the Purchasers and such purchase shall be exercised pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First-Out Authorized Representatives and the Purchasers. If none of the Specified Pari Passu Secured Parties timely exercises such right the First-Out Secured Parties shall have no further obligations pursuant to this Section 7.22 for such Purchase Event and may take any further actions in their sole discretion in accordance with the First-Out Documents and this Agreement. Each First-Out Secured Party will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant First-Out Document for all claims and other amounts relating to the period prior to the purchase of the First-Out Obligations pursuant to this Section 7.22.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Collateral Trust Agreement to be executed by their respective officers or representatives as of the day and year first above written.
