Without limitation of the foregoing, upon notice (the "Election Notice") by the Credit Agent to the Trustee, given not later than ten Business Days (as defined in the Credit Agreement) after the date of the acceleration of the Credit Agreement Obligations, the Credit Agent shall have the option to lease, from the Occupancy Date (as hereinafter defined) until the date which occurs three months thereafter (or until such earlier date that the Credit Agent shall select in its sole discretion by notice to the Trustee given at any time after exercising such lease option), at the then fair market value, any or all of the property, plant and equipment which at such time constitutes, or at any time previously constituted, Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease (in each instance, to the extent in the possession or under the control of the Trustee or any Owner Participant) as is deemed necessary or desirable by the Credit Agent or its agent(s) to convert raw materials (including work-in-process) constituting Credit Agreement Collateral into inventory (which lease shall be accompanied, at no additional cost, by the right to use, during the term of such lease, all Patents, Patent Licenses and General Intangibles necessary or desirable to convert such raw materials as described above), to enable them to sell such Credit Agreement Collateral (it being agreed that in the event the Credit Agent desires to lease any such property, plant or equipment at any particular physical location owned or leased by Sweetheart, the Credit Agent shall be required to lease, to the extent constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease in the possession or under the control of the Trustee or any Owner Participant, all of the property, plant and equipment at such physical location). The Occupancy Date shall mean the earlier of (x) the date of actual occupancy by the Credit Agent after the Election Notice is given of the premises to be leased and (y) the date which is thirty days after the date of the acceleration of the Credit Agreement Obligations. For purposes of the second preceding sentence "fair market value" rental for such Sweetheart Property or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease shall be agreed upon between the Credit Agent and the Trustee, or in the absence of any such agreement, shall be determined by an appraiser selected by both the Trustee and the Credit Agent. (b) At any time that the Credit Agent is exercising its rights pursuant to paragraph (a) above to make use of Sweetheart Property or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease, to the extent such insurance is not maintained by Sweetheart, it shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, on behalf of the Lenders, liability insurance with respect to its activities conducted on such Property in such amounts and against such risks as is deemed prudent in the circumstances by the Credit Agent's risk managers, naming the Trustee as an additional insured. In the event that any insurance required to be maintained by the Credit Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is maintained by the Trustee, the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts (which reasonable efforts shall not include the payment of any money or the incurrence of any liability by the Trustee) to extend such coverage to the Credit Agent's and the Lenders' activities conducted on such Property. In addition, the Credit Agent on behalf of the Lenders agrees (i) to maintain the Sweetheart Property and equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease which is made available to it, to provide utilities and guard service for such Property and to maintain and provide to the Trustee copies of maintenance records describing all maintenance done during such period; (ii) that in the event that any of the Sweetheart Property or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease is damaged or destroyed by any use thereof by the Credit Agent pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the Credit Agent and the Lenders will cause such damaged or destroyed Sweetheart Property or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease, as the case may be, to be repaired or restored to its general condition before such damage or destruction; and (iii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of the Owner Participants against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against any of them as a direct result of the Credit Agent's use of Sweetheart Property or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease pursuant to paragraph (a) above. (c) As compensation for the use of the Sweetheart Property and equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease described in this Section 3.11, the Credit Agent on behalf of the Lenders agrees to pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Owner Participants the then fair market rental value for such Property for each week or part thereof after the Occupancy Date for which any Lender, the Credit Agent or their respective agents uses such Property. (d) Nothing in this Section 3.11 shall prevent the Trustee from entering into a contract of sale, transfer or other disposition of, or otherwise foreclosing on, any of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral or any equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease so long as such contract provides, or such foreclosure is subject to providing, the Credit Agent with the same access to such Collateral and equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease as provided by this Section 3.11. (e) The Trustee agrees that it shall not take any legal action or commence any legal proceeding to prevent the Credit Agent's use of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral or equipment subject to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease as provided in this Section 3.11 or the Credit Agent's non-exclusive use of any Patents, Patent Licenses or General Intangibles necessary or desirable to convert raw materials constituting Credit Agreement Collateral into inventory, to the extent that Sweetheart has granted the Credit Agent the right to use any such property for such purpose. 3.12 Trademark Licenses. (a) The Trustee consents to the granting by Sweetheart to the Credit Agent of an exclusive license to use each Trademark of the Borrower and the Guarantor to enable them to manufacture and sell the Credit Agreement Collateral, the exclusivity of which license (if such Trademark is Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral) shall terminate on the date which is six months after the peaceful possession by the Credit Agent or its agent(s) as owners or pursuant to a Remedial Action, of all or substantially all of the inventory constituting Credit Agreement Collateral, and after such six month period, the Credit Agent shall have a non-exclusive right to use such Trademarks, to manufacture or sell the Credit Agreement Collateral (such non-exclusive license to use any such Trademark (if such Trademark is Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral) to terminate on the date which is twelve months after the peaceful possession by the Credit Agent or its agent(s) as owners or pursuant to a Remedial Action, of all or substantially all of the inventory constituting Credit Agreement Collateral). Such license and such right shall be world-wide and royalty free. The Credit Agent covenants and agrees that it will use reasonable efforts after the acceleration of the Credit Agreement Obligations to obtain possession of the Credit Agreement Collateral and to promptly terminate such license with respect to any Trademark that is Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral by notice to the Trustee at the time any such Property (in the judgment of the Credit Agent) is no longer necessary or desirable in connection with the manufacture or sale of the Credit Agreement Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.12, if at any time during the six month period referred to above during which the Credit Agent or the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement are in peaceful possession of all or substantially all of the inventory constituting the Credit Agreement Collateral (including finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials) the Owner Participants or the Trustee is selling all or substantially all of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral, and if the respective buyer or buyers thereof agree to purchase all inventory (including finished goods, work-in-process and raw materials) then constituting the Credit Agreement Collateral at the cost thereof consistent with the basis used for determining the amount of the eligible inventory for purposes of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement (but without reduction for ineligible items, the discounting for purposes of such borrowing base or any sublimit thereunder), then either (x) the Credit Agent shall sell all of such Credit Agreement Collateral to such buyer or buyers at such price (with the Borrower and the Guarantor, by their execution hereof, hereby agreeing in advance to any such sale and its commercial reasonableness) or (y) if, and only if, such Credit Agreement Collateral is not sold to such buyer or buyers because the Credit Agent declines in its discretion (and not because of any restraints, court orders or similar reasons) to sell such Credit Agreement Collateral to such buyer or buyers, then, at the time such buyer or buyers purchase all or substantially all of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral, the exclusive license period referenced in this Section 3.12(a) (with respect only to Trademarks constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral) shall terminate, although the non-exclusive rights shall continue. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.1, the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lien in all such Trademarks shall be subject to the Credit Agent's interest therein by virtue of such license or sublicense (that is, foreclosure on such Lien will not terminate such license or sublicense). The right of the Trustee to take Remedial Actions with respect to such Trademarks shall not be affected by the immediately preceding sentence or any provision set forth in Section 3.12(d), but any conveyance by the Trustee of such Trademarks and Trademark Licenses or any interest therein shall be subject to the aforesaid limited licenses granted in favor of the Credit Agent or the prior security interest of the Credit Agent to the extent of such security interest set forth in Section 3.12(d). (b) The Credit Agent acknowledges that, to the extent that the Trustee shall have the right to use or license the Trademarks constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral, the Trustee shall have the right to grant non-exclusive licenses and sublicenses in the Trademarks and the Trademark Licenses to Persons other than the Credit Agent notwithstanding the grant of the license to the Credit Agent contemplated by Section 3.12(a). Any such license so granted by the Trustee shall not relate to any period during which the Credit Agent shall have the exclusive use of such Trademarks as set forth in Section 3.12(a). (c) The Credit Agent shall not have any such right to assign, convey, transfer or grant licenses and sublicenses in the Trademarks and the Trademark Licenses constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral to any other Person, other than, subject to the limitations of this Section 3.12, in connection with the uses permitted by Section 3.12(a) above to any Person acquiring Inventory from the Credit Agent in connection with the exercise by the Credit Agent of its rights as a secured creditor of Sweetheart with respect to such Inventory, and any purported assignment, conveyance, transfer or grant (except as expressly permitted herein) shall be void. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that the trademark license granted to the Credit Agent referred to in Section 3.12(a) above does not for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of the occurrence of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar event with respect to Sweetheart) confer on the Credit Agent the rights and benefits contemplated thereby, then the security interest of the Credit Agent in the Trademarks (to the extent not Credit Agreement Collateral) shall be a first priority security interest, and the security interest of the Trustee in such Trademarks shall be a second priority security interest, in each case, solely to the extent necessary to confer on the Credit Agent the use of such Trademarks as contemplated by such trademark license. Notwithstanding anything in the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, in the case of any Disposition of any of the Trademarks constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral, any Proceeds of such Disposition shall constitute Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral and otherwise be distributed and applied as Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The rights of the Trustee to take Remedial Action with respect to such Trademarks constituting Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral shall not be affected by such security interest, but any conveyance by the Trustee of such Trademarks or any interest therein shall be subject to the Credit Agent's prior security interest, but only to the extent of such prior security interest as provided in this Section 3.12(d). 3.13 Release of Lien in Connection with Refinancing Indebtedness. (a) In the event the Borrower shall incur any Refinancing Indebtedness to refinance the Credit Agreement Obligations, the Person or Persons providing such Refinancing Indebtedness shall elect in writing by notice to the Credit Agent and the Trustee to either (i) retain the benefits of the subordinate Lien on the Secured Sale/Leaseback Collateral or (ii) release the subordinate Lien on such Collateral. (b) In the event the provider of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall elect to retain the benefits of such subordinate Lien, such Person(s) or the agent or trustee for such Person(s) shall become a party to this Agreement and assume all of the rights and obligations of the Credit Agent hereunder. In the event the provider of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall elect not to retain the benefits of such subordinate Lien and no default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease, the Trustee shall automatically release any subordinate Secured Sale/Leaseback Lien it holds on the Credit Agreement Collateral upon the release of such subordinate Lenders' Lien, in connection with the incurrence of any Refinancing Indebtedness and the Person(s) providing such Refinancing Indebtedness or the agent or trustee for such Person(s) and the remaining party to this Agreement shall enter into a new intercreditor agreement governing the relationship of such remaining party and the Person(s) providing such Refinancing Indebtedness on the terms set forth in this Agreement, but eliminating any provisions no longer applicable as a result of the release of such Liens. 3.14 Allocation of Reduction in Guarantees. In the event, in connection with any bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding with respect to the Guarantor, the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantees are determined to be a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and as a result thereof the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantees are reduced, such reduction to the Guarantees shall be made on a pari passu basis based upon the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders and the Trustee at the time such reduction occurs. 4. Reliance, Waivers, Etc. 4.1 Creation of Future Obligations. (a) All of the Credit Agreement Obligations shall be deemed to have been funded by the Lenders and incurred by Sweetheart in reliance upon this Agreement, and the Trustee and each Owner Participant expressly waive notice to the Trustee or any Owner Participant of the acceptance of the subordination and other agreements set forth herein, notice of reliance on such subordination and other agreements and notice of the creation of any of the Credit Agreement Obligations after the date hereof, and agree that the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon the subordination and other agreements set forth herein at all times in creating the Credit Agreement Obligations. (b) All of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations shall be deemed to have been incurred by Sweetheart in reliance upon this Agreement, and the Credit Agent and each Lender expressly waive notice to the Credit Agent or any Lender of the acceptance of the subordination and other agreements set forth herein, notice of reliance on such subordination and other agreements and notice of the creation of any of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations after the date hereof, and agree that the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the subordination and other agreements set forth herein at all times in creating the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations. 4.2 Right to Amend, Etc. As between the Lenders and the Credit Agent, on the one hand, and the Trustee and the Owner Participants, on the other hand: (a) The Credit Agent and the Lenders may at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, and without any obligation to give any notice or receive any consent from the Trustee or any Owner Participant, change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter, refinance, increase or add to the Credit Agreement Obligations, or obtain, release, or dispose of any Collateral therefor, or amend or supplement in any manner the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement Security Documents or any other agreements or instruments evidencing, securing or relating to the Credit Agreement Obligations, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all such Credit Agreement Obligations; provided, however, that (i) the Credit Agent shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement in respect of any of the foregoing and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Credit Agreement Obligations shall not exceed an amount which would cause a violation of Section 5.09 of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Participation Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification thereof or of the defined term Permitted Debt used therein that would cause the restrictions set forth therein to be more restrictive). With respect to the limitation set forth in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Credit Agent shall be permitted to rely conclusively on an Officers' Certificate as to the permissibility of such Credit Agreement Obligations under the Secured Sale/Leaseback Participation Agreement. (b) The Trustee and the Owner Participants may at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, and without any obligation to give any notice or receive any consent from the Credit Agent or any Lender, change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, alter, refinance, increase or add to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations, or amend or supplement in any manner the Secured Sale/Leaseback Lease, the Secured Sale/Leaseback Security Documents or any other agreements, instruments or documents evidencing, securing or relating to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations, or obtain, release, or dispose of any Collateral therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to all such Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement in respect of any of the foregoing; and (ii) the aggregate Stipulated Loss Value of all Leased Equipment shall in no event exceed $227,275,544 as such amount is adjusted and/or reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Documents or increased to reflect additional investments by the Owner Participants to fund modifications, alterations or improvements to the Leased Equipment (but in any event immediately after giving effect to such adjustment or increase the aggregate Stipulated Loss Value of all Leased Equipment shall not exceed the lesser of (x) 10% above the aggregate Stipulated Loss Value of all Leased Equipment in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or increase and (y) $227,275,544).

Agency. 5.1 Appointment of Collateral Agent; Powers and Limitations. (a) Subject to the resignation and removal provisions of Section 5.5, the Credit Agent and the Trustee hereby irrevocably designate, appoint and authorize the Credit Agent as Collateral Agent hereunder (the Credit Agent in such capacity being hereinafter referred to as the "Collateral Agent") to take such action, including, without limitation, the exercise of rights and the pursuit of remedies pursuant to this Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents, as agent on their behalf and to exercise such other powers under this Agreement and the Shared Collateral Security Documents as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. (b) Nothing herein or in the Shared Collateral Security Documents shall impose or be construed to impose on the Collateral Agent any duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein or therein or any fiduciary relationship with the Credit Agent or the Trustee and no implied covenants, functions or responsibilities shall be read into this Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents. 5.2 Instructions, Voting and Meetings. (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent is authorized, but not obligated, (i) to take any action reasonably required to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens on the Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Lenders and the Trustee and (ii) when instructions from the Required Parties have been requested by the Collateral Agent but have not yet been received, to take any action which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Lenders and the Trustee in the Shared Collateral; provided that once instructions have been received, the actions of the Collateral Agent shall be governed thereby and the Collateral Agent shall not take any further action which would be contrary thereto. (b) As to any matters relating to the Shared Collateral, the Shared Collateral Security Documents or Sweetheart not otherwise expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or the Credit Agent by the Credit Agreement, the Secured Sale/Leaseback Documents, the Security Documents or the Shared Collateral Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting on the instructions of the Required Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting upon the direction of Lenders constituting the Required Parties, such action or inaction, as the case may be, shall not constitute a breach of any fiduciary obligation which the Collateral Agent might owe to the Trustee or the Owner Participants even if the Trustee or the Owner Participants are damaged by such action or inaction. (c) If, with respect to a proposed action to be taken by it, the Collateral Agent shall determine in good faith that the provisions of this Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Document relating to the functions or responsibilities or discretionary powers of the Collateral Agent are or may be ambiguous or inconsistent, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Credit Agent and the Trustee, identifying the proposed action and the provisions that it considers are or may be ambiguous or inconsistent, and may decline either to perform such function or responsibility or to exercise such discretionary power unless it has received the written confirmation of the Required Parties that the Required Parties concur in the circumstances that the action proposed to be taken by the Collateral Agent is consistent with the terms of this Agreement or such Shared Collateral Security Document or is otherwise appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the confirmation of the Required Parties in this respect, and such confirmation shall be binding upon the Credit Agent, the Lenders, the Trustee and the Owner Participants. (d) Notwithstanding any provisions herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes or, in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may expose, the Collateral Agent or its officers, directors, agents or employees to personal liability unless the Collateral Agent shall be adequately indemnified as provided herein or that is, or in the good faith judgment of the Collateral Agent may be, contrary to the Shared Collateral Security Documents or applicable law. (e) Except for action expressly required of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall be indemnified (in addition to the indemnity provided by Section 5.4) to its satisfaction by the Credit Agent and the Trustee in advance against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Shared Collateral Security Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or give any consent under this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or enter into any agreement amending, modifying, supplementing or waiving any provision of this Agreement or any Shared Collateral Security Document unless it shall have been directed to do so by the Required Parties (and if so directed, such action of the Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the Credit Agent, the Lenders, the Trustee and the Owner Participants). (g) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent or the Credit Agent, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent, or the Credit Agent, as the case may be, in writing of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations outstanding at any time and of the amount in clause (i) of the first sentence of either of the defined terms Pro Rata Share or Required Parties at such time. 5.3 Disclaimer; Good Faith Reliance on Advice and Information.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants, appraisers and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, appraisers or experts, and (ii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of the Shared Collateral Security Documents by acting upon any representation or warranty of Sweetheart made in connection therewith or by relying upon any written information supplied by any predecessor Collateral Agent(s) or by acting upon any notice, instruction, consent, certificate or other instrument, writing or communication (which may be by telegram, cable, telex or telephone) in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper party or parties. (b) For purposes of this Section 5.3, "known" shall mean that information has come to the attention of an officer of a party with responsibility for the applicable transaction under this Agreement giving such party actual knowledge of the existence or non-existence of the fact in question. (c) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Person for (i) the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Shared Collateral Security Documents, any Shared Collateral provided thereunder, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) the priority of any Lien granted under the Shared Collateral Security Documents; (iii) any omissions or errors on the part of government officials, failure of mail deliveries, losses of documents by Federal Express or other courier services, mistakes by title companies or lien search companies, or other similar events; (iv) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Sweetheart, or any affiliate of Sweetheart or any officer, employee or agent of any such party in the Shared Collateral Security Documents or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for therein; (v) any failure by Sweetheart, or any affiliate of Sweetheart, to perform its obligations under the Shared Collateral Security Documents or any document or instrument related thereto; or (vi) any conflict among the Shared Collateral Security Documents or any other instrument or document to which Sweetheart, any Lender, the Credit Agent, the Trustee or any Owner Participant is a party.

(a) Each of the Credit Agent and the Trustee severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its officers, directors, agents and employees (each an "Indemnitee"), ratably according to the Pro Rata Share(s) held by the Lenders and the Trustee, respectively, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, claims or disbursements ("Claims") of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnitee in any way relating directly or indirectly to or arising directly or indirectly (whether before or after termination of this Agreement) out of (i) this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents (including without limitation the negotiation, execution, and enforcement thereof), or any transaction contemplated thereby, (ii) any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents, or (iii) any breach of any agreement or instrument as a result of any action taken or omitted by the Indemnitee hereunder or under any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents; provided, however, that neither the Credit Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any portion of such Claims found to result from the Indemnitee's gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of Law (as may be determined by New York law), unless such breach has been waived by the Required Parties or the Required Parties shall have instructed the Collateral Agent to take an action which violates applicable Law. The Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders and the Trustee for purposes of this Section 5.4(a) shall be determined (i) in the case the Collateral Agent has taken any Remedial Action with respect to the Shared Collateral, at the time of the commencement of such Remedial Action and (ii) in the case the Collateral Agent has not taken any such action, as of the date such Claim commenced to be incurred, in each case, as determined by the Collateral Agent in good faith. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and to the extent that the Indemnitee is not promptly reimbursed for such expenses by Sweetheart, the Credit Agent and the Trustee severally agree to reimburse the Indemnitee promptly upon demand ratably according to the Pro Rata Shares held by the Lenders and the Trustee, respectively, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including regular time billing charges of in-house or outside counsel) incurred by the Indemnitee and permitted by this Section 5.4 in connection with the administration or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents (including without limitation the enforcement of this indemnity). The Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders and the Trustee for purposes of this Section 5.4(b) shall be determined (i) in the case the Collateral Agent has taken any Remedial Action with respect to the Shared Collateral, at the time of the commencement of such Remedial Action and (ii) in the case the Collateral Agent has not taken any such action, as of the date such Claim commenced to be incurred, in each case, as determined by the Collateral Agent in good faith. (c) Any Indemnitee may retain its own counsel to prosecute, negotiate or defend any Claims; provided, however, that the indemnification obligations under this Section 5.4 shall only apply to one counsel with respect to any Claim regardless of the number of Indemnitees. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to compromise any Claims with the prior written consent of the Required Parties. (d) The obligations of the Credit Agent and the Trustee, respectively, under this Section 5.4 shall survive the payment of all Credit Agreement Obligations and the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. 5.5 Resignation and Removal of Collateral Agent. (a)(i) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Credit Agent and the Borrower and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Required Parties by written notice delivered to the Borrower, the Trustee and the Credit Agent. (ii) Upon receiving notice of any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Trustee and the Credit Agent; provided, however, that such successor Collateral Agent shall be (A) a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state banking authority; and (B) authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization to assume the functions of the Collateral Agent. If the appointment of such successor shall not have become effective (as hereafter provided) within such sixty (60) day period after the Collateral Agent shall have given such notice, then the Collateral Agent may assign the Liens and its duties hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security Documents to the Trustee and the Credit Agent, as their interests may appear, and in such case all references herein to "Collateral Agent" shall be deemed to refer to "Required Parties." The Required Parties may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Such court shall, after such notice as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications specified in this Section 5.5(a). The Trustee, the Credit Agent, the Lenders and the Owner Participants hereby consent to such petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met. (iii) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of such documents or instruments as are necessary to transfer the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent under the Shared Collateral Security Documents. Copies of each such document or instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Credit Agent. The appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) shall become effective upon the acceptance of such appointment and such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent. (b) After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with its agency hereunder while it was Collateral Agent. 5.6 Shares of Collateral. Where the Collateral Agent is required or permitted hereunder, under any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or otherwise to do or refrain from doing any act in accordance with the consent or instructions of the Trustee, the Credit Agent, the Lenders, the Owner Participants or any group thereof, and where the Collateral Agent is required or permitted to make any payment, disbursement or distribution to any such Person (or to require any payment from any such Person), then in calculating the Credit Agreement Obligations or Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations held by any such Person or the amount in clause (i) of the first sentence of either of the defined terms Pro Rata Share or Required Parties or the amount of any payments to be made to any such Person (anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere notwithstanding) the Collateral Agent may assume in the absence of a written representation to the contrary that (i) all scheduled payments of principal and interest or rent, as the case may be, have been made as required by the Secured Sale/Leaseback Documents and the Credit Agreement; and (ii) no prepayments on the Credit Agreement Obligations or Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations have been received since the last date the Credit Agent or the Trustee reported the outstanding amount of the Credit Agreement Obligations or the Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations, respectively, to the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, except those amounts received by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement and disbursed to the Trustee and the Credit Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof. In the event of any controversy with respect to any payment or prepayment made or the amount in clause (i) of the first sentence of either of the defined terms Pro Rata Share or Required Parties, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to rely conclusively (in the absence of manifest error) upon its own records with respect to any payments made to or by the Collateral Agent and, in every other case, upon the written representation of any of the Trustee, the Credit Agent, a Lender or an Owner Participant as to facts regarding the Credit Agreement Obligations or Secured Sale/Leaseback Obligations owed to it or the amount in clause (i) of the first sentence of either of the defined terms Pro Rata Share or Required Parties, notwithstanding any contrary representation by any other party. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to retain funds or make a partial distribution of funds to any such Person pending any investigation or resolution of any such controversy. 5.7 Compensation and Expenses. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to charge such reasonable fees (in addition to its expenses) for services of the Collateral Agent as may be agreed from time to time between the Collateral Agent and the Borrower. The Collateral Agent may incur such reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and regular time billing charges of in-house or outside counsel) directly or indirectly in connection with the discharge or exercise of any of its rights, powers or obligations hereunder and under the Shared Collateral Security Documents as it in its sole and absolute discretion may deem necessary or appropriate. Said fees and expenses shall be charged to the Borrower by the Collateral Agent and shall be included in the amounts secured by the Shared Collateral Security Documents. 5.8 Authorized Investments. Any and all funds held by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent, whether pursuant to any provision of any of the Shared Collateral Security Documents or otherwise, shall to the extent feasible within a reasonable time be invested by the Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalent Investments. Any interest earned on such funds shall be deposited into the Shared Collateral Account and disbursed to the Trustee and the Credit Agent in accordance with this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may hold any such funds in a common interest bearing account. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to place funds held pursuant to this Section 5.8 in investments which provide a maximum return; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall to the extent feasible invest funds in Cash Equivalent Investments with reasonable promptness. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss of any funds invested in accordance with this Section 5.8. 5.9 Collateral Agent Counsel, Joint Defense Privilege. The Trustee and the Credit Agent acknowledge that the Collateral Agent may hire counsel to advise it with respect to its rights and duties hereunder, and that such counsel does not and will not represent the interests of the Trustee, the Credit Agent, any Lender or any Owner Participant, individually. The Trustee and the Credit Agent acknowledge that conflicts may arise among such Persons and waive any conflicts of interest which arise or exist for such counsel as a result of counsel's representation of the Collateral Agent. The Trustee and the Credit Agent further agree to be bound by the joint defense privilege with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement, the Shared Collateral Security Documents and the Shared Collateral. All communications from the Collateral Agent's counsel to the Credit Agent, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Owner Participant are subject to such privilege and each Person agrees not to waive such privilege, or to disclose any such communications, without the consent of all such Persons. 6.

At the time of such termination, (a) if such termination occurs pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, the Credit Agent shall (x) deliver to the Trustee any Collateral (other than Excluded Sale/Leaseback Assets) then in its possession unless the Trustee advises the Credit Agent that possession of such Collateral by the Trustee is not required pursuant to the Secured Sale/Leaseback Security Documents and (y) terminate or assign to the Trustee any landlords' agreements, warehouse operators' agreements and similar agreements in favor of the Credit Agent pertaining to the Collateral (other than Excluded Sale/Leaseback Assets); and (b) if such termination occurs pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall (x) deliver to the Credit Agent any Collateral then in its possession unless the Credit Agent advises the Trustee that possession of such Collateral by the Credit Agent is not required pursuant to the Credit Agreement Security Documents and (y) terminate or assign to the Credit Agent any landlords' agreements, warehouse operators' agreements and similar agreements in favor of the Trustee pertaining to the Collateral; and (c) if such termination occurs pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) concurrently, then each of the Credit Agent and the Trustee shall (x) deliver to Sweetheart any Collateral then in its possession and (y) terminate any landlords' agreements, warehouse operators' agreements and similar agreements in its favor pertaining to the Collateral. 7.
