(a)subject to the right of any applicable Lessee to the right of quiet enjoyment of such property, personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from the Debtor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Debtor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Debtor;

(d)take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Debtor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event the Debtor shall at its own expense:

i.forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent;

ii.store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Collateral Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.2 hereof; and

(g)take any other action as specified in clauses (1) through (5), inclusive, of Section 9-607(a) of the UCC,it being understood that the Debtor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Debtor of said obligation.

5.2Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. If any Designated Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the Debtor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, each of the Collateral





Agent and the other Secured Creditors may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 5.2 without accountability to the Debtor. If, under applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall be permitted to make disposition of the Collateral within a period of time which does not permit the giving of notice to the Debtor as hereinabove specified, the Collateral Agent need give the Debtor only such notice of disposition as shall be required by such applicable law. The Debtor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at the Debtor’s expense. Following a Designated Event of Default, the Debtor hereby agrees that all monies, checks, notes, instruments, drafts or other payments relating to or constituting proceeds of the Collateral which come into the possession or under the control of the Debtor or any employees, agents or other persons acting for or in concert with the Debtor, shall be received and held in trust for the Collateral Agent and such items shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Collateral Agent. Immediately upon receipt thereof, the Debtor and such other Persons shall remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to the Collateral Agent, and the Debtor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, with appropriate endorsement and assignment to the Collateral Agent with full recourse to the Debtor, all instruments, notes and chattel paper constituting proceeds of the Collateral.

5.3Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, THE DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES. In addition, the Debtor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:

(b)all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and

(c)all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and the Debtor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.

Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Debtor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Debtor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under the Debtor.






5.4Application of Proceeds. (a) All moneys collected by the Collateral Agent upon any sale or other disposition of any Collateral pursuant to the enforcement of this Agreement or the exercise of any of the remedial provisions hereof (or, if any other Security Document requires proceeds of “collateral” thereunder to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, by such “collateral agent” thereunder pursuant to the enforcement of such Security Document or the exercise of the remedial provisions thereof), together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder in respect of the Collateral (or such “collateral agent” under such other Security Documents) (including all monies received in respect of post-petition interest) as a result of any such enforcement or the exercise of any such remedial provisions or as a result of any distribution of any Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be) upon the bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of the obligations and indebtedness of the Debtor, or the application of any Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be) to the payment thereof or any distribution of Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be) upon the liquidation or dissolution of the Debtor, or the winding up of the assets or business of the Debtor or under any insurance policies insuring any of the Collateral (or “collateral” under any other Security Document, as the case may be), shall be applied as follows:

i.first, to the payment of all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent of the type described in clauses (c) and (d) of the definition of “Obligations”; and

ii.second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (i), in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 13.4 of the Credit Agreement.

(a)All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (i) if to the Lender Creditors, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors and (ii) if to the Hedge Counterparties, to the trustee, paying agent or other similar representative (each, a “Representative”) for the Hedge Counterparties or, in the absence of such a Representative, directly to the Hedge Counterparties.

(b)For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 5.4, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon (i) the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Hedge Counterparties.

(c)It is understood that the Debtor shall remain liable with respect to its Loan Document Obligations and Hedging Obligations to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral granted by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of such Obligations.

5.5Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any such right, power or remedy and no renewal or extension of any of the Obligations shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or an





acquiescence thereof. No notice to or demand on the Debtor in any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

granting of a security interest in which would be void or illegal under any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation, or pursuant thereto would result in, or permit the termination of, such asset.
