(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Debt Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Controlling Collateral Agent is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Issuer or any other Grantor or any Equal Priority Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any Collateral Agent or any Equal Priority Secured Party and proceeds of any such distribution or payment (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Shared Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution or payment being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Debt Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the Equal Priority Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the Equal Priority Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the Secured Debt Documents applicable to such Series and (iii) THIRD, after the Discharge of Equal Priority Obligations, to the Issuer and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than an Equal Priority Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Equal Priority Obligations, but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Equal Priority Obligations (such third party an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Equal Priority Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists. If, despite the provisions of this Section 2.01(a), any Equal Priority Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Equal Priority Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 2.01(a), such Equal Priority Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Equal Priority Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a).

8

(b) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Equal Priority Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Debt Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Equal Priority Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each Equal Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) the Liens securing each Series of Equal Priority Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority and (ii) the benefits and proceeds of the Shared Collateral shall be shared among the Equal Priority Secured Parties as provided herein.

Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens, the Controlling Collateral Agent may deal with the Shared Collateral as if such Controlling Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Collateral Agent or Non-Controlling Secured Party will, or will have the right to, contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Shared Collateral. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Equal Priority Secured Party or Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

10

(b) Each Equal Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that if it shall obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or shall realize any proceeds or payment in respect of any such Shared Collateral, pursuant to any Equal Priority Security Document or by the exercise of any rights available to it under applicable law or in any Bankruptcy Case or Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or through any other exercise of remedies (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement), at any time prior to the Discharge of Equal Priority Obligations, then it shall hold such Shared Collateral, proceeds or payment in trust for the other Equal Priority Secured Parties that have a security interest in such Shared Collateral and promptly transfer such Shared Collateral, Proceeds or payment, as the case may be, to the Controlling Collateral Agent to be distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01 hereof.

(b) Each Collateral Agent agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such authorizations and other instruments (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties executing such instruments) as shall reasonably be requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral provided for in this Section.

(c) Each Equal Priority Secured Party in respect of a Series agrees that each Collateral Agent in respect of any other Series may enter into any amendment to any Equal Priority Security Document that does not violate this Agreement.

SECTION 2.05. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings.

(b) If the Issuer and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other applicable Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other applicable Bankruptcy Law, each Equal Priority Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”), or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Controlling Collateral Agent or any Controlling Secured Party with respect to such Shared Collateral shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Equal Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank equal in priority with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Equal Priority Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Equal Priority Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their security interests on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority relative to each other series of Equal Priority Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Equal Priority Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Equal Priority Secured Parties of each Series are granted security interests on any additional collateral pledged to any Equal Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority relative to each other series of Equal Priority Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Equal Priority Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (D) if any Equal Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection with respect to Equal Priority Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement; provided that the Equal Priority Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a security interest to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to security interests in favor of the Equal Priority Secured Parties of such Series or its Collateral Agent that do not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Equal Priority Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Equal Priority Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Equal Priority Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06. Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Equal Priority Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Equal Priority Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

SECTION 2.07. Insurance. As between the Equal Priority Secured Parties, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall have the right to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.

12

SECTION 2.08. Refinancings. The Equal Priority Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of any Equal Priority Secured Party of any other Series (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Debt Document in respect of such Series), all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Collateral Agent of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

SECTION 2.09. Controlling Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Shared Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Equal Priority Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Equal Priority Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09; provided that at any time after the Discharge of the Series of Equal Priority Obligations for which the Controlling Collateral Agent is acting, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), promptly deliver all Possessory Collateral to the new Controlling Collateral Agent (after giving effect to the Discharge of such Series of Equal Priority Obligations) together with any necessary endorsements reasonably requested by such new Controlling Collateral Agent (or make such other arrangements as shall be reasonably requested by such new Controlling Collateral Agent to allow such new Controlling Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). Pending delivery to the Controlling Collateral Agent, each other Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Equal Priority Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Equal Priority Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. Solely with respect to any Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts constituting Shared Collateral under the control of any Collateral Agent (within the meaning of 9-104 or 8-106 of the Uniform Commercial Code), each such Collateral Agent agrees to also hold over such Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as bailee and as gratuitous agent for each other Equal Priority Secured Party for which such Deposit Account or Securities Account is Shared Collateral and any assignee for the purpose of perfecting the security interest in such Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09. The Controlling Collateral Agent, hereby agrees that upon the Discharge of the Series of Equal Priority Obligations for which it is Collateral Agent, to the extent that an applicable control agreement is in effect and has not been terminated, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall continue to act as such a bailee and gratuitous agent for each other Equal Priority Secured Party (solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each other Equal Priority Secured Party) with respect to the deposit account or securities account that is the subject of such control agreement, until such control agreement is amended or assigned in favor of the new Controlling Collateral Agent with respect to such deposit account or securities account. During any period for which the Controlling Collateral Agent acts as bailee and gratuitous agent for each other Equal Priority Security Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall act solely at the direction of the new Controlling Collateral Agent with respect to such deposit account or securities account that is the subject of such control agreement and the new Controlling Collateral Agent agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Controlling Collateral Agent against any liability incurred during such period under any such control agreement.

13

(b) Furthermore, for the avoidance of doubt, for as long as the Controlling Collateral Agent continues to act as bailee and gratuitous agent for each other Equal Priority Secured Party, the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all rights, protections, privileges, indemnities and immunities granted to it hereunder and under the related Secured Debt Documents for which it acts as Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, any right to compensation, reimbursement and indemnification), which shall be deemed to expressly survive, notwithstanding the Discharge of the Series of Equal Priority Obligations for which it is Collateral Agent.

(c) The duties and responsibilities of the Controlling Collateral Agent and each other Collateral Agent under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral or constituting Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Equal Priority Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Equal Priority Secured Parties therein.

ARTICLE III

Existence and Amounts of Liens and Obligations

SECTION 3.01. Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever any Collateral Agent shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Equal Priority Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Equal Priority Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that (a) any information provided by any Collateral Agent as to the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Equal Priority Obligations of any Series may be provided to the knowledge of such Collateral Agent and (b) if any Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Issuer. Each Collateral Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Equal Priority Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

The Controlling Collateral Agent

SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority.

14

(a) Each of the Equal Priority Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Controlling Collateral Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Controlling Collateral Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Controlling Collateral Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to the applicable Secured Debt Documents for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under any of the Equal Priority Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IV, Sections 16 and 23 of the 2027 Note Purchase Agreement, Sections 5.03, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.17 of the 2027 Notes Security Agreement, Sections 16 and 23 of the 2029 Note Purchase Agreement, Sections 5.03, 5.14, 5.15 and 5.17 of the 2029 Notes Security Agreement and the equivalent provision of any Additional Equal Priority Document (as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Collateral Agent” named therein) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Equal Priority Secured Parties, and each Collateral Agent, hereby agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Issuer, to provide such cooperation and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Controlling Collateral Agent to facilitate and effect actions taken or intended to be taken by the Controlling Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article IV, such cooperation to include execution and delivery of notices, instruments and other documents as are reasonably deemed necessary by the Controlling Collateral Agent to effect such actions (and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties executing such documents), and joining in any action, motion or proceeding initiated by the Controlling Collateral Agent for such purposes.

(b) Each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Equal Priority Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Equal Priority Security Documents, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the Equal Priority Security Documents (in their respective capacities as such). Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Controlling Collateral Agent or any other Equal Priority Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Equal Priority Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Equal Priority Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Equal Priority Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against the Controlling Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent for any other Series of Equal Priority Obligations or any other Equal Priority Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions that do not violate this Agreement that any Collateral Agent or any Equal Priority Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Equal Priority Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Equal Priority Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Equal Priority Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Equal Priority Obligations, (ii) any election by any Collateral Agent or any holders of Equal Priority Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession.

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to a Grantor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Controlling Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Issuer stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default under any Series of Equal Priority Obligations unless and until written notice describing such Event of Default and referencing the applicable agreement is given to the Controlling Collateral Agent;

16

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Equal Priority Security Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Equal Priority Security Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Equal Priority Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral for any Series of Equal Priority Obligations, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any Secured Debt Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent; and

(f) need not segregate money held hereunder from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Controlling Collateral Agent shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except if and to the extent it may (at its option and in its discretion) otherwise agree in writing.

Each of the Equal Priority Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes the applicable Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Equal Priority Security Document in accordance with Section 2.04 or upon receipt of a written request from the Issuer stating that the releases of such Lien is permitted by the terms of each then extant Secured Debt Document.

The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Equal Priority Secured Parties in relation to one another. None of the Issuer, any other Grantor or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, except as expressly provided in this Agreement (provided that nothing in this Agreement (other than Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.09 and subject to Section 5.11) is intended to or will amend, waive or otherwise modify the provisions of the 2027 Note Purchase Agreement, the 2029 Note Purchase Agreement or any Additional Equal Priority Documents), and none of the Issuer or any other Grantor may rely on the terms hereof (other than Section 2.04, 2.05 or 2.09). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Equal Priority Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 5.13. Additional Equal Priority Obligations. The Issuer may incur obligations that will constitute Additional Equal Priority Obligations hereunder only if such obligations are permitted to be so incurred and treated as such hereunder by the terms of each then extant Secured Debt Document and the other requirements of this Section 5.13 are satisfied. Any such additional class or series of Additional Equal Priority Obligations (the “Senior Class Debt”) may be secured by a Lien and may be guaranteed by the Grantors on a pari passu basis with the Liens and guarantees in favor of the other Series of Equal Priority Obligations, if and subject to the condition that the Collateral Agent of any such Senior Class Debt (each, a “Senior Class Debt Representative”), acting on behalf of the holders of such Senior Class Debt (such Collateral Agent and holders in respect of any Senior Class Debt being referred to as the “Senior Class Debt Parties”), becomes a party to this Agreement by satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the immediately succeeding paragraph.

In order for a Senior Class Debt Representative to become a party to this Agreement,

(i) such Senior Class Debt Representative, the Controlling Collateral Agent and each Grantor shall have executed and delivered an instrument substantially in the form of Annex II (with such changes as may be reasonably approved by the Controlling Collateral Agent and such Senior Class Debt Representative) pursuant to which such Senior Class Debt Representative becomes a Collateral Agent and Additional Agent hereunder, and the Senior Class Debt in respect of which such Senior Class Debt Representative is the Collateral Agent and the related Senior Class Debt Parties become subject hereto and bound hereby;

21

(ii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent true and complete copies of each of the Additional Equal Priority Documents relating to such Senior Class Debt, certified as being true and correct by a Responsible Officer of the Issuer;

(iii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Controlling Collateral Agent an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Additional Equal Priority Obligations to be incurred are permitted by each then extant Secured Debt Document, or to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the incurrence of such Additional Equal Priority Obligations under any such Secured Debt Document, such requisite consent has been obtained; and

(iv) the Additional Equal Priority Documents, as applicable, relating to such Senior Class Debt shall provide, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Controlling Collateral Agent, that each Senior Class Debt Party with respect to such Senior Class Debt will be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement in its capacity as a holder of such Senior Class Debt.

SECTION 5.14. Integration. This Agreement together with the other Secured Debt Documents and the Equal Priority Security Documents represents the entire agreement of each of the Grantors and the Equal Priority Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, any Collateral Agent or any other Equal Priority Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Debt Documents or the Equal Priority Security Documents.

SECTION 5.15. Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Issuer and the other Grantors. The Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents and the Equal Priority Secured Parties shall each be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Issuer and the other Grantors and all endorsers or guarantors of the Equal Priority Obligations and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Equal Priority Obligations. The Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents and the Equal Priority Secured Parties shall have no duty to advise any other party hereunder of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstances or otherwise. In the event that the Controlling Collateral Agent, any other Collateral Agent or any Equal Priority Secured Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any other party, it shall be under no obligation to (i) make, and Controlling Collateral Agent, the other Collateral Agents and the Equal Priority Secured Parties shall not make or be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of any such information so provided, (ii) provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (iii) undertake any investigation or (iv) disclose any information that, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential or is otherwise required to maintain confidential.

SECTION 5.16. Additional Grantors. The Issuer agrees that, if any Subsidiary of the Issuer shall become a Grantor after the date hereof, it will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become party hereto by executing and delivering an instrument in the form of Annex III. Upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereunder, and will be acknowledged by the Controlling Collateral Agent. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.18. 2027 Notes Collateral Agent and 2029 Notes Collateral Agent.
