Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Secured Parties with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or credit-worthiness of the Company which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 5.6. Indemnification. The Secured Parties agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company, but without limiting any obligation of the Company to do so) ratably in accordance with the Secured Parties’ Pro Rata Shares, against, and hold the Collateral Agent harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Collateral Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Collateral Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Secured Party shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this §5.6 shall survive the payment of the Secured Obligations.

Section 5.7. Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity. BB&T and its Affiliates may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company as though such Person was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Secured Parties. With respect to any Revolving and Noteholder Debt issued to it and advances made by it under the Credit Agreement, if any, BB&T shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Secured Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms “Secured Party” and “Secured Parties” shall include BB&T in its individual capacity. Any Additional Creditor which succeeds BB&T as Collateral Agent shall have the same rights as BB&T under this Section 5.7 with respect to Debt issued to it and advances made by it under the Additional Facilities.

Section 5.8. Successor Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon thirty days’ notice to the Secured Parties and the Company and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Required Secured Parties by written notice delivered to the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties. If the Collateral Agent is also BB&T, or an Additional Creditor under the Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement, then the Noteholders may remove the Collateral Agent for a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement at any time upon a vote of the holders of 75% or more of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes. After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this §5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with its role as Collateral Agent hereunder while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and it shall be entitled to be paid promptly when due any amounts owing to it pursuant to §5.6.

(b) Upon receiving notice of any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Required Secured Parties; provided, however, that such successor Collateral Agent shall be (i) a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by a federal or state banking authority; and (ii) 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) (x) within such thirty day period after the Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation or (y) upon removal of the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent may

-13-

assign the Liens and its duties hereunder and under the Collateral Documents to the Secured Parties, as their interests may appear, and in such case all references herein to “Collateral Agent” shall be deemed to refer to the “Required Secured Parties.” Any Secured Party 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 §5.8(b). The Secured Parties hereby consent to such petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met.

(c) 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 Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, the delivery and recordation of all amendments, instruments, deed of trusts, financing statements, continuation statements and other documents necessary to maintain the perfection of the security interests held by the Collateral Agent hereunder. Copies of each such document or instrument shall be delivered to all Secured Parties. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this §5.8(c), the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this §5.8 shall become effective upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent. Upon such effective appointment, the successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its rights, powers, privileges and duties under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents; provided, however, that the provisions of this §5 shall continue to inure to the retiring Collateral Agent’s benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with its role as Collateral Agent hereunder while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 6 ACTIONS BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT.

Section 6.1. Duties and Obligations. The duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent are only those set forth in this Agreement and in the Collateral Documents.

Section 6.2. Notification of Default. If the Collateral Agent has been notified in a writing conforming to the requirements of §5.4 by any Secured Party that a Default, an Event of Default or a Special Event of Default has occurred, the Collateral Agent shall furnish to the Secured Parties a copy of such written notice and may, but is under no obligation to, furnish to the Company a copy of the notice received by the Collateral Agent and a copy of the Collateral Agent’s notice to the Secured Parties. The failure of any Secured Party having knowledge of the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or a Special Event of Default to notify the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party of such occurrence, however, does not constitute a waiver of such Default, Event of Default or Special Event of Default by the Secured Parties. Upon receipt of a notice conforming to the requirements of §5.4 from a Secured Party of the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Special Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall (in addition to the action required by the first sentence of this §6.2) promptly (and in any event no later than three Business Days after receipt of such notice) issue its Notice of Default to all Secured Parties. Such Notice of Default shall indicate the nature of such Event of Default or Special Event of Default. The Notice of Default may contain a recommendation of actions to be taken by the Secured Parties and/or request instructions from the Secured Parties and shall specify the date on which responses are due in order to be timely within §6.4 hereof.

-14-

Section 6.3. Exercise of Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in §6.5, the Collateral Agent shall take only such actions and exercise only such remedies under the Collateral Documents as are approved in written instructions delivered to the Collateral Agent and signed by the Required Secured Parties required under §6.4. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall determine in good faith that taking the actions specified in such instructions is contrary to law, it may refrain (and shall be fully protected in so refraining) from taking such action and shall immediately give notice of such fact to each of the Secured Parties. In the event that instructions received by the Collateral Agent are in its good faith judgment ambiguous or conflict with other instructions received by the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent (a) shall promptly notify the Secured Parties of such ambiguity or conflict and request clarifying instructions, and (b) may either (1) delay taking any such action or exercising any such remedy pending the receipt of such clarifying instructions (and shall be fully protected in so delaying) or (2) take such actions as it is entitled under §6.5.

Section 6.4. Instructions from Secured Parties.

Notwithstanding anything express or implied to the contrary in any Collateral Document:

(a) remedies and other actions to be taken under the Collateral Documents or applicable law with respect to the Collateral shall be directed by the Required Secured Parties; and

(b) if any Secured Party does not respond in a timely manner to any notice (including, without limitation, a Notice of Default) from the Collateral Agent or request for instructions within the time period specified by the Collateral Agent in such notice or request for instructions (which shall be a minimum of five Business Days), the Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party which would otherwise be included in a determination of Required Secured Parties shall not be included in the determination of Required Secured Parties for purposes of such notice or request for instructions. Any action taken or not taken without the vote of such Secured Party or Secured Parties under this §6.4 shall nevertheless be binding on such Secured Party or Secured Parties.

Section 6.5. Emergency Actions. If the Collateral Agent has asked the Secured Parties for instruction and if the Required Secured Parties have not yet responded to such request, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take, but shall not be required to take and shall in no event have any liability for the taking or the failure to take, such actions (other than any action described or permitted under §6.7 hereof) with regard to a Default or Event of Default which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be reasonably required to promote and protect the interests of the Secured Parties and to preserve the value of the Collateral and shall give the Secured Parties appropriate notice of such action; provided that once instructions with respect to such request have been received by the Collateral Agent from the Required Secured Parties, 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.

Section 6.6. Changes to Collateral Documents. Any term of the Collateral Documents may be amended, and the performance or observance by the parties to a Collateral Document of any term of such Collateral Document may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Required Secured Parties.

-15-

Section 6.7. Release of Collateral. The release of any Collateral by the Collateral Agent from the Lien of any Collateral Document shall be permitted with the written consent of all of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that if the Company or its Subsidiaries disposes of Collateral pursuant to a disposition that is permitted under both the Credit Agreement and the Note Agreement or Collateral is released as permitted under the terms of the Collateral Documents, then the written consent of the Secured Parties to the release by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral shall not be required.

Section 6.8. Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to take such actions, or omit to take such actions, hereunder and under the Collateral Documents not inconsistent with the written instructions of the Required Secured Parties delivered pursuant to §6.3 hereof or the terms of this Agreement, including actions the Collateral Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens on the Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom (including any duty to ascertain or take action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters), nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of rights pertaining to the Collateral beyond the safe custody of any Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s actual possession.

Section 6.9. Cooperation. To the extent that the exercise of the rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement requires that any action be taken by any Secured Party, such Secured Party shall take such action and cooperate with the Collateral Agent to ensure that the rights, powers and remedies of all Secured Parties are exercised in full.

Section 6.10. Distribution of Proceeds of Collateral and Subsidiary Guaranties.

(a) Upon any realization upon the Collateral, the Secured Parties agree that the proceeds thereof shall be applied (i) first, to the amounts owing to the Collateral Agent, solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent (or owing to the Secured Parties in such capacity if the Collateral Agent has resigned or has been removed), by the Company or the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents; (ii) second, to reimburse the Secured Parties for any amounts paid under §5.6 hereof ratably; (iii) third, ratably to the payment of all amounts of accrued and unpaid interest (other than breakage costs or any Make-Whole Amount) which constitute Secured Obligations according to the aggregate amounts of such interest then owing to each Secured Party; (iv) fourth, ratably to all amounts of principal outstanding in respect of the Secured Obligations (including therein the unpaid reimbursement obligations relating to any drawings under letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement or any Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement and, without duplication, in the manner set forth in the following paragraph the undrawn portion of any face amount of any such letters of credit) according to the aggregate amounts of such principal then owing to each Secured Party; (v) fifth, ratably to all other Secured Obligations then owing to the Secured Parties according to the aggregate amounts of such Secured Obligations then owing to each Secured Party; and (vi) sixth, the balance, if any, shall be returned to the Company or such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

-16-

Any payment pursuant to this §6.10 with respect to the undrawn amount of any letters of credit shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for deposit in an account (the “Letter of Credit Collateral Account”) to be held as collateral for the Secured Obligations and disposed of as provided herein. On each date after the occurrence of a Special Event of Default on which a payment is made to a beneficiary pursuant to a draw on a letter of credit, the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to the payment of the reimbursement obligation due to BB&T or any Additional Creditors under the Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement, as applicable, with respect to such draw an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such draw and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all undrawn letters of credit with respect to the Revolving Debt (or, if applicable, revolving debt under the Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement) immediately prior to such draw. On each date on which a reduction in the aggregate amount of all undrawn letters of credit occurs other than on account of a payment made to a beneficiary pursuant to a draw on a letter of credit, then the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Letter of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such reduction in the aggregate amount of all undrawn letters of credit and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all undrawn letters of credit with respect to the Revolving Debt (or, if applicable, revolving debt under the Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement), immediately prior to such reduction, which amount shall be distributed as provided in the first paragraph of this §6.10. At such time as the aggregate amount of all undrawn letters of credit is reduced to zero, any amount remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, after the distribution therefrom as provided above, shall be distributed as provided in the first paragraph of this §6.10.

(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution under this §6.10, each Secured Party shall provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in §6.10(a) hereof which each such Secured Party believes it is entitled to receive.

Section 6.11. Senior Preferential Payments and Special Trust Account.

(a) After the receipt by each Secured Party of a Notice of Default pursuant to §6.2 stating that a Special Event of Default has occurred, all Senior Preferential Payments other than those payments received pursuant to subsection (b) of this §6.11 shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent for deposit into the Special Trust Account.

(b) If (i) such Special Event of Default is waived by BB&T, the Additional Creditors, and the Noteholders and if no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such Special Event of Default is cured by the Company or by any amendment of the Credit Agreement, the Additional Facility Documents, or the Note Agreement, as the case may be, and if no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) any or all of the Secured Obligations have not been accelerated and the Required Secured Parties have not instructed the Collateral Agent to foreclose on a substantial portion of the Collateral, seek the appointment of a receiver, commence litigation against the Company, liquidate the Collateral, commence a Bankruptcy Proceeding against the

-17-

Company, seize Collateral, or exercise other remedies of similar character prior to the 180th day following such Special Event of Default, the Collateral Agent thereupon shall return all amounts, together with their pro rata share of any interest earned thereon, held in the Special Trust Account representing payment of any Secured Obligations to the Secured Party initially entitled thereto, and no payments thereafter received by a Secured Party shall constitute a Senior Preferential Payment by reason of such cured or waived Special Event of Default. No payment returned to a Secured Party for which such Secured Party has been obligated to make a deposit into the Special Trust Account shall thereafter ever be characterized as a Senior Preferential Payment.

(c) Each Secured Party agrees that upon the occurrence of a Special Event of Default it shall (i) promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the receipt of any Senior Preferential Payments, (ii) hold such amounts in trust for the Secured Parties and act as agent of the Secured Parties during the time any such amounts are held by it, and (iii) deliver promptly to the Collateral Agent such amounts for deposit into the Special Trust Account as soon as practicable.

(d) If the Secured Obligations have been accelerated or the Required Secured Parties have instructed the Collateral Agent to foreclose on a substantial portion of the Collateral, seek the appointment of a receiver, commence litigation against the Company, liquidate the Collateral, commence a Bankruptcy Proceeding against the Company, seize Collateral, or exercise other remedies of similar character, then all funds, together with interest earned thereon, held in the Special Trust Account and all subsequent Senior Preferential Payments shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of §6.10 above.

Section 6.12. Authorized Investments. Any and all funds held by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent, whether pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents, shall to the extent feasible within a reasonable time be invested by the Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalent Investments. Prior to making such investment or to the extent it is not feasible to invest such funds in Cash Equivalent Investments, the Collateral Agent shall hold any such funds in an interest bearing account. Any interest earned on such funds shall be disbursed to the Secured Parties in accordance with §6.10 or §6.11, as applicable. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to place funds held and invested pursuant to this §6.12 in investments which provide a maximum return. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss of any funds invested in accordance with this §6.12.

Section 6.13. Restoration of Obligations. For the purposes of determining the amount of outstanding Secured Obligations, if any Secured Party is required to deposit any Senior Preferential Payment in the Special Trust Account, then the obligations intended to be satisfied by such Senior Preferential Payment shall be revived, as of the date of the deposit of such amount with the Collateral Agent, in the amount of such Senior Preferential Payment and such obligation shall continue in full force and effect (and, if applicable, bear interest from such deposit date at the non-default rate as provided in the Notes or in the Credit Agreement or in the Additional Facility Documents, as the case may be) as if such Secured Party had not received such payment. All such revived obligations shall be included as Secured Obligations for purposes of allocating any payments under §6.10 and for applying the definition of Required Secured Parties. If any such revived obligation shall not be allowed as a claim under the Bankruptcy Code due to the fact that the Senior Preferential Payment has in fact been made by the Company, the Secured Parties shall make such other equitable arrangements for the purchase and sale of participations in the Secured Obligations to effectuate the intent of this §6.13.

-18-

Section 6.14. Bankruptcy, Preferences, etc. If any payment to a Secured Party is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside and is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or Federal law, common law or equitable cause, and such Secured Party has previously made a deposit in respect of such payment into the Special Trust Account pursuant to §6.11, then the Collateral Agent shall distribute to such Secured Party proceeds from the Special Trust Account in an amount equal to such deposit or so much thereof as is affected by such events and if, due to previous disbursements to the Secured Parties pursuant to §6.11(d), the proceeds in the Special Trust Account are insufficient for such purpose, then each other Secured Party shall pay to such Secured Party upon demand an amount equal to a ratable portion of such disbursements of the deposit which was distributed to each such Secured Party according to the aggregate amounts so distributed to each such Secured Party.

Section 6.15. Sharing of Proceeds. If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of the parties entitled thereto and promptly pay over or deliver such payment or other recovery to the Collateral Agent for application by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 7 BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS.

The following provisions shall apply during any Bankruptcy Proceeding of the Company:

(a) The Collateral Agent shall represent all Secured Parties in connection with all matters directly relating to the Collateral, including without limitation, use, sale or lease of Collateral, use of cash collateral, relief from the automatic stay and adequate protection. The Collateral Agent shall act on the instructions of the Required Secured Parties; provided that such instructions by the Required Secured Parties shall not treat any Secured Party differently with respect to rights in the Collateral from any other Secured Party; and provided further that if action is required prior to the time such instructions are received or if the Required Secured Parties fail to give instructions with respect to any matter, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to act, or refrain from acting, in accordance with §6.5 hereof.

(b) Each Secured Party shall be free to act independently on any issue not directly relating to the Collateral, including without limitation, matters relating to appointment of a trustee, conversion of a case, filing of claims, and plans of reorganization. Each Secured Party shall give prior notice to the Collateral Agent of any such action to the extent that such notice is possible. If such prior notice is not given, such Secured Party shall give prompt notice following any such action.

-19-

SECTION 8 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF SECURED PARTIES.

(a) BB&T, in its capacity as the Lender under the Credit Agreement agrees that the Secured Parties, through their authorized representatives or agents, may (to the extent BB&T has the right to restrict access to the Winchester Collateral) enter upon any real property constituting Winchester Collateral from time to time during normal business hours for the sole purpose of inspecting, repairing, removing, caring for, protecting or conducting a sale or sales of any or all of the Collateral if the Collateral Agent provides BB&T notice prior to each entry (which shall not be less than two (2) business days except in the case of emergency). BB&T further agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability to BB&T, except, however, that the Secured Parties shall promptly repair any damage to the Winchester Collateral caused by the removal, repair, sale or inspection and the Secured Parties shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Collateral Agent and BB&T harmless from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of their employees or agents in connection with such removal, repairs, sale or inspection. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties agree that neither the Collateral Agent nor BB&T shall have any obligation or liability to preserve, protect, manage, maintain, safekeep or otherwise have any responsibility for the Collateral beyond the safe custody of any Collateral in any such Person’s actual possession.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees to use its best efforts to give to BB&T, via certified mail, written notice prior to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies against the Collateral at the address provided for in §10.2 below; provided, however, that any failure to so provide such notice shall have no effect on the ability of the Collateral Agent to exercise any of its rights or remedies against the Collateral.

(c) BB&T agrees to use its best efforts to give to the Secured Parties, via certified mail, written notice prior to the exercise by BB&T of any of its rights or remedies against the Winchester Collateral at the address provided for in §10.2 below; provided, however, that any failure to so provide such notice shall have no effect on the ability of BB&T to exercise any of its rights or remedies against the Winchester Collateral.

(d) If the Collateral Agent takes possession of the Company’s books and records included in the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall provide BB&T reasonable access to inspect and copy such books and records if BB&T provides prior notice (which shall be not less than two (2) business days except in the case of emergency) and if such access is necessary to exercise its rights and remedies in the Winchester Collateral.

(e) If the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties receives any Winchester Collateral or any proceeds thereof or if BB&T (in its capacity as lender of the Term Debt under the Credit Agreement) receives any Collateral or any proceeds thereof in which the Secured Parties have a prior perfected security interest, such party shall (i) notify the other party in writing of the nature of such receipt, the date of the receipt and the amount thereof; (ii) deduct from the proceeds received any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with the acquisition of such proceeds; (iii) hold the remaining amount of such proceeds in trust for the benefit of the other party until paid over to the other party; and (iv) pay the remaining amount of such proceeds or deliver the applicable Collateral to the other party hereto promptly upon receipt thereof. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral distributed hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be

-20-

restored or returned as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then each party receiving any portion of such proceeds agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such proceeds it has received to the party responsible for restoring or returning such proceeds.

(f) References to BB&T in this Section 8 shall also refer to all Additional Creditors under the Qualified Replacement Credit Agreement if such Additional Creditors are also the holders of a Lien on the Winchester Collateral.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not, and, in particular, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against any future holder or holders of any Secured Obligations, and the term “Secured Party” shall include any such subsequent holder of Secured Obligations, wherever the context permits.

Section 9.11. Obligations Several. The obligations of the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent hereunder are several. The failure of any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent to carry out its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Secured Party or the Collateral Agent of any obligation hereunder, nor shall any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent be responsible for the obligations of, or any action taken or omitted by, any other Person hereunder. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to cause any Secured Party or the Collateral Agent to be considered a partner of or joint venturer with any other Secured Party, the Collateral Agent, the Subsidiary Guarantors or the Company.
