22 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 (b) Except as permitted pursuant to the Notes Documents, such Grantor will not (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to amend its organizational documents in any manner that adversely affects the validity, perfection or priority of the Collateral Trustee’s security interest therein, (ii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Trustee to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof or any interest therein or, (iii) cause or permit any issuer of Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests which are not securities (for purposes of the UCC) on the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any action to cause such Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests to be treated as securities for purposes of the UCC; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if any issuer of any Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged LLC Interests takes any such action in violation of the foregoing in this clause (iii), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee in writing of any such election or action and, in such event, shall take all steps such Grantor deems reasonably necessary or advisable to establish the Collateral Trustee’s “control” thereof or (iv) permit any Issuers to issue any Equity Interests of any nature or issue securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any Equity Interests of any Issuer, (c) Each Grantor which is an Issuer agrees that (i) it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement relating to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it, (ii) it will notify the Collateral Trustee promptly in writing of the occurrence of any of the events described in Section 4.6(a) with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it and (iii) the terms of Sections 4.7(c) shall apply to it, mutatis mutandis, with respect to all actions that may be required of it pursuant to Section 4.7(c) with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests issued by it. In addition, each Grantor which is either an Issuer or an owner of any Pledged Equity Interests hereby consents to the grant by each other Grantor of the security interest hereunder in favor of the Collateral Trustee and to the transfer of any Pledged Equity Interest to the Collateral Trustee or its nominee following a Secured Debt Default and to the substitution of the Collateral Trustee or its nominee as a partner, member or shareholder or other equity holder of the Issuer of the related Pledged Equity Interest. 4.7 Voting and Other Rights with Respect to Pledged Securities. (a) Unless a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes or Pledged Debt Securities, to the extent permitted by the Secured Debt Documents, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights or other ownership rights with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests. For the avoidance of doubt, any cash, cash equivalents or property that is paid as a dividend or otherwise distributed to any direct or indirect parent of the Issuers in compliance with Section 4.07 (Restricted Payments) of the Closing Date Indenture shall, unless a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, automatically cease to be Collateral or Proceeds of Collateral. (b) If a Secured Debt Default shall occur and be continuing: (i) all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights with respect to Pledged Securities which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Trustee who shall thereupon have the sole right, but shall be under no obligation, to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and

 

23 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 other consensual rights and (ii) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right, without notice to any Grantor, to transfer all or any portion of the Pledged Securities to its name or the name of its nominee or agent. In addition, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time, without notice to any Grantor, to exchange any certificates or instruments representing any Pledged Securities for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations. In order to permit the Collateral Trustee to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions which it may be entitled to receive hereunder, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Collateral Trustee all proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Collateral Trustee may from time to time reasonably request and each Grantor acknowledges that the Collateral Trustee may utilize the power of attorney set forth herein. (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Trustee in writing that (x) states that a Secured Debt Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Trustee. 4.8 Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not, except as permitted pursuant to the Notes Documents, discontinue use of any Intellectual Property, or do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Intellectual Property may lapse, become abandoned, cancelled, dedicated to the public, forfeited, or otherwise impaired, or abandon any application or any right to file an application for a Copyright, Patent, or Trademark, in each case where such discontinuance, act or omission would reasonably be expected to be adverse in any material respect to the Secured Parties. (b) Such Grantor shall take all reasonable steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry or any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, to pursue any application and maintain any registration or issuance of each Trademark, Patent, and Copyright owned by or exclusively licensed to such Grantor, including, but not limited to, those applications and registrations listed on Schedule 6 if such Grantor reasonably determines that such application or maintenance of registration is necessary for the operation of its business. (c) Such Grantor agrees that, should it hereafter (i) obtain an ownership interest in any item of registered Intellectual Property, (ii) obtain an exclusive license to any registered Copyrights, (iii) (either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee) file any application for the registration or issuance of any Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or in any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or (iv) file a “Statement of Use” pursuant to Section 1(d) of the Lanham Act or an “Amendment to Allege Use” pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Lanham Act with respect to any “intent-to-use” Trademark application (the items in clauses (i), (ii) (iii) and (iv), collectively, the “After- Acquired Intellectual Property”), then the provisions of Section 2 shall automatically apply

 

24 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 thereto, and any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property shall automatically become part of the Collateral, and such Grantor shall give prompt (and, in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee in accordance herewith, and shall provide the Collateral Trustee promptly (and, in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such Grantor acquires such ownership interest) with an amended Schedule 6 hereto and promptly take the actions specified in Section 4.8(d) with respect thereto. (d) Such Grantor shall execute Intellectual Property Security Agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property included in the Collateral as of the date hereof, as well as any After-Acquired Intellectual Property, in substantially the form of Exhibits B-1 or B-2, as applicable, in order to record the security interest granted herein to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all other agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as such Grantor may deem reasonably necessary or advisable or as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in any such Intellectual Property with any other applicable offices, agencies, or governmental authorities. (e) Such Grantor shall use best efforts so as not to permit the inclusion in any contract to which it hereafter becomes a party of any provision that could or may in any way materially impair or prevent the creation of a security interest in, or the assignment of, such Grantor’s rights and interests in any property that constitutes Intellectual Property. (f) Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee if it knows or has reason to know that any item of Intellectual Property may become (i) abandoned or dedicated to the public or placed in the public domain, (ii) invalid or unenforceable, (iii) subject to any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership, registration or use or the validity or enforceability of such item of Intellectual Property (including the institution of, or any adverse development with respect to, any action or proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office, any state registry, any foreign counterpart of the foregoing, or any court) or (iv) the subject of any reversion or termination rights. (g) Such Grantor shall (and shall require its licensees to) use best efforts to use proper notice of its Intellectual Property rights in connection with the use of any of its Intellectual Property. (h) Such Grantor shall not intentionally or knowingly infringe, misappropriate, dilute, or otherwise violate the Intellectual Property rights of any other Person in any manner which could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Secured Parties. In the event that any Person initiates, or threatens in writing to initiate, any action or proceeding alleging that such Grantor, or the conduct of such Grantor’s business, infringes, misappropriates, dilutes, or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property of any other Person, and such action or proceeding could reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Secured Parties, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee after it learns thereof.

 

25 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 (i) In the event that Grantor becomes aware that any Intellectual Property owned by or exclusively licensed to any Grantor is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by another Person, such Grantor shall (i) promptly take all reasonable actions to stop such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation and protect its rights in such Intellectual Property including, but not limited to, the initiation of a suit for injunctive relief and to recover damages, and (ii) promptly notify the Collateral Trustee after it learns thereof. (j) With respect to any Trademarks of such Grantor, such Grantor shall use best efforts to maintain the value and enforceability of any of such Trademarks at a level at least substantially consistent with the value and enforceability of such Trademarks as of the date hereof. (k) Such Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days of the creation or acquisition or exclusive license of any copyrightable work that constitutes Intellectual Property, and provided the registration of such copyrightable work is material to the such Grantor’s business, apply to register the Copyright in the United States Copyright Office or, where appropriate, any foreign counterpart and, in the case of an exclusive Copyright License in respect of a registered Copyright, record such license, in the United States Copyright Office or, where appropriate, any foreign counterpart. 4.9 Vehicles. With respect to any Vehicles owned as of the date hereof (other than to the extent constituting Excluded Assets), and, with respect to any Vehicles (other than to the extent constituting Excluded Assets) acquired by such Grantor subsequent to the date hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the date of acquisition thereof, all applications for certificates of title or ownership indicating the Collateral Trustee’s first priority security interest in such Vehicle covered by such certificate, and any other necessary documentation, shall be filed in each office in each jurisdiction necessary or which the Collateral Trustee shall deem advisable to perfect its security interests in the Vehicles. 4.10 Commercial Tort Claims. Within forty-five (45) days after the date of any additional commercial tort claims (other than any Excluded Assets) arising since Schedule 8 was last delivered, each Grantor shall provide the Collateral Trustee with an amended or supplemented Schedule 8 to reflect such additional commercial tort claims. SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS 5.1 Limitations. Any exercise by Collateral Trustee of any of its rights under this Section 5 shall be subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Rights Agreement and the Acknowledgment Agreement. 5.2 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Collateral Trustee, or, if a Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Trustee’s election, the Collateral Trustee may apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 5.3) realized through the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured

 

26 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 Obligations. The Collateral Trustee shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. 5.3 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If a Secured Debt Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Trustee may store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the Collateral Trustee deems appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the Collateral Trustee, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless so directed by an Act of Required Secured Debtholders), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title

 

27 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral. (b) The Collateral Trustee shall deduct from such Proceeds all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with Section 5.2. Only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Trustee of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the Collateral Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the Collateral Trustee. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder. (c) In the event of any disposition of any of the Intellectual Property under this Section 5.3, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the Collateral Trustee or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual Property, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services. (d) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.3 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral

 

28 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, and assignable license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired or held by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise occupied by such Grantor. 5.4 Effect of Securities Laws. Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity Interests or the Pledged Debt Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so. 5.5 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency. SECTION 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY AND FURTHER ASSURANCES 6.1 Collateral Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Trustee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Trustee the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due with respect to any Collateral and file any

 

29 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due with respect to any Collateral whenever payable; (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Trustee may request to evidence the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby; (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or purchase any insurance called for by the terms of the Secured Debt Documents and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof; (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.3 or 5.4, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and (v) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee or as the Collateral Trustee shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral; (4) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Trustee may deem appropriate; (7) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Trustee shall in its sole discretion determine; and (8) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do. Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Trustee agrees that, (i) except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless a Secured Debt Default shall

 

30 US-DOCS\97364528.96439160v4 US-DOCS\97364528.12 have occurred and be continuing and (ii) any exercise by Collateral Trustee of any of its rights under this Section 6.1(a) shall be subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Rights Agreement and the Acknowledgment Agreement. (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Trustee, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless a Secured Debt Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the Collateral Trustee shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith. (c) The expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due principal under the Existing Indenture, from the date of payment by the Collateral Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee on demand. (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of Secured Obligations. 6.2 Authorization of Financing Statements.

(a) The Collateral Trustee’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Trustee deals with similar property for its own account.

The Collateral Trustee shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Secured Debt Default has occurred and is continuing.The Collateral Trustee shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Collateral Trustee is required to exercise as directed in writing pursuant to the Notes Documents; provided that the Collateral Trustee shall not be required to take any action that, in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Trustee to liability or that is contrary to any Notes Documents or applicable law.The Collateral Trustee shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Security Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Collateral Trustee or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
