(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a Notice of Acceleration shall be deemed to be in effect whenever (x) an Event of Default under Section 7.1(e) of the Credit Agreement or Section 7.1(e) of the Public Note Indenture (or the corresponding provision of any agreement executed in connection with a Refinancing thereof) with respect to the Company has occurred and is continuing and (y) the Collateral Trustee is notified by either Primary Holder Representative that such Event of Default has occurred. A Notice of Acceleration, once effective, shall remain in effect unless and until it is cancelled as provided in Section 2.1(c).

(c) Any Primary Holder Representative shall be entitled to cancel any Notice of Acceleration delivered by such Primary Holder Representative by delivering a written notice of cancellation thereof (a “Notice of Cancellation”) to the Collateral Trustee either before or after the Collateral Trustee takes any action to exercise any remedy with respect to the Collateral; provided, that (x) if the Collateral Trustee has received a Notice of Cancellation and thereupon no other Notices of Acceleration are then in effect, such notice shall serve as direction from the Directing Parties to the Collateral Trustee, with respect to any actions taken by the Collateral

Trustee prior to receipt of such Notice of Cancellation to exercise any remedy or remedies with respect to the Collateral that can, in a commercially reasonable manner, be reversed, cancelled or stopped, take commercially reasonable steps to reverse, cancel or stop such actions, and (y) any action taken by the Collateral Trustee prior to receipt of such Notice of Cancellation to exercise any remedy or remedies with respect to the Collateral that cannot, in a commercially reasonable manner, be reversed, cancelled or stopped, may be completed. The Collateral Trustee shall promptly (but in any event not later than on the second Business Day following the Business Day of the Collateral Trustee’s actual receipt thereof) notify the Company, the Primary Holder Representatives and the Secured Hedge Providers as to the receipt and contents of any such Notice of Cancellation. Subject to any Applicable Law, the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable to any Person for any losses, damages or expenses arising out of or related to actions taken at the direction of the Directing Parties after the issuance of a Notice of Cancellation. For purposes of this Agreement, a Notice of Cancellation shall be considered to be in effect as of the Notice Effective Time.

2.2 General Authority of the Collateral Trustee over the Collateral. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Trustee and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in its or his own name at any time when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect (and at any time in connection with the creation and perfection of security interests in the Collateral), from time to time in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion, subject to Section 2.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to carry out the terms of this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents and accomplish the purposes hereof and thereof and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Trustee, subject to Section 2.1, the power and right on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or further assent by any Grantor to take any Collateral Enforcement Actions permitted under the Trust Security Documents and to do, at its option and at the expense and for the account of Grantors, all acts and things which the Collateral Trustee deems necessary or appropriate to protect or preserve the Collateral and to realize upon the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Notice of Acceleration is in effect, upon the direction of the Directing Parties, as provided herein, the Collateral Trustee shall take such actions as are permitted by this Agreement or the other Trust Security Documents. Such actions may include, but are not limited to, taking action to create and perfect the Liens granted pursuant to the Trust Security Documents in accordance with the Primary Secured Instruments, this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents, releases of Liens on the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement, receipt and delivery of information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents and to accept deposits to and make withdrawals from the Collateral Account and the Prepayment Deposit Account and to invest amounts therein in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents.

2.3 Right to Initiate Judicial Proceedings. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee, upon the direction of the Directing Parties, as provided herein, and otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b) and Section 5: (i) shall have the right and power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and each other Trust Security Document and (ii) may, either after entry, or without entry, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell all or, from time to time, any of the Collateral under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

2.4 Right to Appoint a Receiver. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, upon the filing of a bill in equity or other commencement of judicial proceedings to enforce the rights of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall, upon the direction of the Directing Parties, as provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, with notice to the Company but without notice to any party claiming through the Grantors, without regard to the solvency or insolvency at the time of any Person then liable for the payment of any of the Secured Obligations, without regard to the then value of the Trust Estate, and without requiring any bond from any complainant in such proceedings, be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver or receivers (who may be the Collateral Trustee) of the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and of the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income thereof, pending such proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer, and to the entry of an order directing that the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income of the property constituting the whole or any part of the Trust Estate be segregated, sequestered and impounded for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, and each Grantor irrevocably consents to the appointments of such receiver or receivers and to the entry of such order; provided that, notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all cash and Cash Equivalents constituting Collateral held by or deposited with it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of any other Trust Security Document and the provisions hereof, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) The Directing Parties shall at all times have the right, by one or more notices in writing executed and delivered to the Collateral Trustee (or by telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any right or remedy available to the Collateral Trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Collateral Trustee, or for the appointment of a receiver, or to direct the taking or the refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document; provided that (i) such direction shall not conflict with any Applicable Law or this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document, (ii) the Collateral Trustee shall be reasonably indemnified as provided in Section 5.4(d) and (iii) no Collateral Enforcement Action may be taken unless a Notice of Acceleration is in effect. In the absence of such direction, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to take or refrain from taking any action, nor any liability for refraining from taking any action in the absence of such direction.

(c) Except as permitted in Section 8.6, no Primary Holder Representative or other Secured Party, other than the Collateral Trustee, shall do (and no such Primary Holder

Representative or Secured Party (other than the Directing Parties) shall direct the Collateral Trustee to do) any of the following without the consent of the Directing Parties: (i) take any Collateral Enforcement Action or (ii) object to, contest or take any other action that is reasonably likely to hinder (1) any Collateral Enforcement Action initiated by the Collateral Trustee, (2) any release of Collateral permitted under Section 6.12, whether or not done in consultation with or with notice to such Secured Party, or (3) any decision by the Directing Parties to forbear or refrain from bringing or pursuing any such Collateral Enforcement Action or to effect any such release.

2.6 Remedies Not Exclusive. (a) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Collateral Trustee herein or in the other Trust Security Documents is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or in any other Trust Security Document or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

(b) No delay or omission by the Collateral Trustee to exercise any right, remedy or power hereunder or under any other Trust Security Document shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document to the Collateral Trustee may, subject to the terms hereof, be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Trustee.

(c) If the Collateral Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Trustee, then the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder or thereunder with respect to the Trust Estate and in all other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims upon or under this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents may be enforced by the Collateral Trustee without the possession of any Secured Instrument or instrument evidencing any Secured Obligation or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any suit or proceeding instituted by the Collateral Trustee shall be, subject to Section 5.10(d)(ii), brought in its name as Collateral Trustee and any recovery of judgment shall be held as part of the Trust Estate.

2.7 Waiver and Estoppel. (a) Each Grantor agrees, to the extent it may lawfully do so, that it will not at any time in any manner whatsoever claim, or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, turnover or redemption law, or any law permitting it to direct the order in which the Collateral shall be sold, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document and hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by any Applicable Law, waives all benefit or advantage of all such laws and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Collateral Trustee in this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law were in force; provided that nothing contained in this Section 2.7(a) shall be construed as a waiver of any rights of the Grantors under any applicable Bankruptcy Law.

(b) Each Grantor, to the extent it may lawfully do so, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including, without limitation, any and all subsequent creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, waives and releases all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the Collateral upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale granted herein or in any other Trust Security Document or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document and consents and agrees that all the Collateral may at any such sale be offered and sold as an entirety.

(c) Each Grantor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and any notice of any kind (except notices explicitly required hereunder, under any Secured Instrument or under any other Trust Security Document) in connection with this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents and any action taken by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Collateral.

2.8 Limitation on Collateral Trustee’s Duty in Respect of Collateral. Beyond its duties as to the custody of Collateral expressly provided herein or in any other Trust Security Document and to account to the Secured Parties and the Grantors for moneys and other property received by it hereunder or under any other Trust Security Document, the Collateral Trustee shall to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law not have any duty to the Grantors or to the Secured Parties as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any of its agents or nominees, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

2.9 Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any Applicable Law, and all the provisions hereof are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory Requirements of Law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

2.10 Rights of Secured Parties under Secured Instruments. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document, the right of each Secured Party to receive payment of the Secured Obligations held by such Secured Party when due (whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise) as expressed in the related Secured Instrument or other instrument evidencing or agreement governing a Secured Obligation or to institute suit for the enforcement of such payment on or after such due date or to exercise any other remedy it may have as an unsecured creditor against the Grantors, and the obligation of the Grantors to pay such Secured Obligations when due, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Secured Party given in the manner prescribed by the Secured Instrument under which such Secured Obligation is outstanding; provided, however, that in the event any Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or otherwise obtains any Lien as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien and the Collateral subject thereto shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such Secured Party shall assign such Lien to the Collateral Trustee for inclusion as Collateral or hold such Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in each case as directed by the Directing Parties.

2.11 Collateral Use Prior to Acceleration. (a) So long as no Notice of Acceleration shall be in effect, the Grantors shall have the right: (i) to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the Collateral (except for such property which the Grantors are required to give possession of or control over to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the terms of any Trust Security Document) with power freely and without let or hindrance on the part of the Secured Parties (except as set forth in the Secured Instruments) to operate, manage, develop, use and enjoy the Collateral, to receive the rents, issues, tolls, profits, royalties, revenues and other income thereof, and (ii) to sell or otherwise dispose of, free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents, any Collateral if such sale or other disposition is not prohibited by the Primary Secured Instruments or has been expressly approved in accordance with the terms of the Secured Instruments. The Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the exercise by the Grantors of their rights under this Section 2.11(a).

(b) When a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, cash Proceeds (including Cash Equivalents, checks and similar items) received by the Collateral Trustee in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collections on or of, Collateral or otherwise received in respect of the Collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account. Any such Proceeds (and other items) received by any Grantor shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee, in same form as received by such Grantor (duly indorsed to the Collateral Trustee, if required) for deposit in the Collateral Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, unless a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Company may (subject to the first sentence of Section 3.4(a)) upon written request to the Collateral Trustee, with a copy to the Credit Agreement Representative and the Public Note Representative (accompanied by a written certification by the Company that the Company has reasonably determined that it will have adequate liquidity on a pro forma basis, after giving effect to the release to the Company of the funds in the Collateral Account, to pay the next scheduled principal installments of the Loans and the Public Notes), obtain the prompt release to it or its order of funds in the Collateral Account (other than funds necessary in order to make any overdue payment not made when due in respect of the Credit Agreement Obligations and the Public Note Obligations or an unpaid mandatory prepayment or redemption of the Credit Agreement Obligations or the Public Note Obligations). Any written request and certification by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be full authority for and direction to the Collateral Trustee to make the requested release, and (subject to the first sentence of Section 3.4(a)) the Collateral Trustee shall promptly do so. The Collateral Trustee in so doing shall have no liability to any Person.

(c) When a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, any proceeds of any issuance of debt or equity securities or any issuance or incurrence of Debt, any insurance Proceeds in respect of any Collateral, any Proceeds from the exercise of rights of eminent domain or condemnation in respect of any Collateral, and any liquidating dividends paid in respect of any Collateral received by any of the Grantors shall be deposited in the Collateral Account to be held therein and applied in accordance with Section 3 hereof. If for any reason any Grantor shall receive or hold any securities or Debt proceeds, insurance Proceeds, condemnation Proceeds or liquidating dividends that are required to be held by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the first

sentence of this section, such Grantor shall hold such proceeds or dividends in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties and shall, as promptly as practicable, deliver such proceeds or dividends to the Collateral Trustee to be held in accordance with the provision of this section.

2.12 Remedies Generally. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may, upon the direction of the Directing Parties, as provided herein, exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to the Collateral Trustee in the Trust Security Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice referred to below or otherwise required by law) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent not prohibited by law), may, subject in all cases to the right to request the direction of the Directing Parties as provided herein, in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Trustee or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, if so directed by the Directing Parties, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to bid for or purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, and if both Primary Holder Representatives consent, make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Secured Parties by such Grantor as a credit against the purchase price (for the avoidance of doubt, without having to obtain the consent thereto of any Secured Parties other than the both Primary Holder Representatives), and the Collateral Trustee may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of property purchased in a manner provided above without further accounting to any Grantor therefor. Each Grantor further agrees, when a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Trustee shall apply the proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to the Trust Security Documents in accordance with Section 3. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

2.13 Non-Cash Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Collateral Trustee shall acquire any Collateral through foreclosure or by a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or by retaining any of the Collateral in satisfaction of all or part of the Secured Obligations or if any Proceeds or other property received by the Collateral

Trustee or any Secured Party to be distributed and shared pursuant to this Agreement are in a form other than immediately available funds, the Collateral Trustee shall not be required to remit any share thereof under the terms hereof and the Secured Parties shall only be entitled to their undivided interests therein as determined hereby. The Secured Parties shall receive the applicable portions of any immediately available funds consisting of Proceeds from such Collateral or proceeds of such non-cash Proceeds or other property so acquired only if and when paid in connection with the subsequent disposition thereof. While any Collateral or other property to be shared pursuant to this Agreement is held by the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee shall hold such Collateral or other property for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective interests therein and all matters relating to the management, operation, further disposition or any other aspect of such Collateral or other property shall be resolved by the agreement of the Directing Parties.

First: to the Collateral Trustee (and other trustees appointed pursuant to this Agreement) for any unpaid Trustee Fees (including as provided in Section 5.3) and then to any Secured Party that has theretofore advanced or paid any Trustee Fees constituting administrative expenses allowable under Section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Trustee Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Second: to any Secured Party which has theretofore advanced or paid any Trustee Fees other than such administrative expenses, an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Secured Party and for which such Secured Party has not been reimbursed prior to such Distribution Date, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably to such Secured Parties in proportion to the amounts of such Trustee Fees advanced by the respective Secured Parties and remaining unpaid on such Distribution Date;

Third: to any Primary Holder Representative for any unpaid expenses payable to such Person pursuant to the Secured Instruments and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably to such Persons in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof on such Distribution Date;

Fifth: all other amounts owed to Secured Parties in any capacity; and

Sixth: any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(c) The term “unpaid” as used in clauses Third and Fourth of Section 3.4(b) with respect to the relevant Grantor(s), refers to all amounts of Secured Obligations outstanding as of a Distribution Date, whether or not such amounts are fixed or contingent, and, in the case of an Insolvency Proceeding, with respect to any Grantor, whether or not such amounts are allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent that prior distributions (whether actually distributed or set aside pursuant to Section 3.5) have not been made in respect thereof.

(d) The Collateral Trustee shall make all payments and distributions under this Section 3.4 (i) on account of Credit Agreement Obligations to the Credit Agreement Representative, pursuant to directions of the Credit Agreement Representative, for re-distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement; (ii) on account of any Public Note Obligations to the Public Note Representative, pursuant to directions of the Public Note Representative, for re-distribution in accordance with the provisions of the Public Note Documents and (iii) on account of any Hedging Obligations to the applicable Secured Hedge Providers, pursuant to directions provided by the Company and determination of the Outstanding Amount of Hedging Obligations by the Company.

3.5 Amounts Held for Contingent Secured Obligations. In the event any Secured Party shall be entitled to receive any distributions from the Collateral Account of any moneys in respect of any unliquidated, unmatured or contingent portion of the outstanding Secured Obligations, then the Collateral Trustee shall, at the written request of the Directing Parties, deposit such moneys into a separate subaccount of the Collateral Account and invest such moneys in obligations of the kinds referred to in Section 3.3 maturing within three months after they are acquired by the Collateral Trustee and shall hold all such amounts so distributable, and all such investments and the net proceeds thereof, in trust solely for such Secured Party and for no other purpose until (i) such Secured Party shall have notified the Collateral Trustee that all or part of such unliquidated, unmatured or contingent claim shall have become matured or fixed, in which case the Collateral Trustee shall distribute from such investments and the proceeds thereof an amount equal to such matured or fixed claim to such Secured Party for application to the payment of such matured or fixed claim, and shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company or (ii) all or part of such unliquidated, unmatured or contingent claim shall have been

extinguished, whether as the result of an expiration without drawing of any letter of credit, payment of amounts secured or covered by any letter of credit other than by drawing thereunder, payment of amounts covered by any guarantee or otherwise, in which case (x) such Secured Party shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, notify the Company and the Collateral Trustee and (y) such investments, and the proceeds thereof, shall be held in the Collateral Account in trust for all Secured Parties pending application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4.

3.6 Collateral Trustee’s Calculations. In making the determinations and allocations required by Section 3.4, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to request from a Primary Holder Representative in respect of the Class of Secured Obligations for which such Primary Holder Representative acts and the Secured Hedge Providers prior to making any payment and distribution provided for in such Section 3.4 such information as may be required for such determinations and allocations, and may conclusively rely upon information supplied by such Primary Holder Representatives, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.4 shall be (subject to Section 3.7 and to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Primary Holder Representative in respect of any amounts distributed to such Primary Holder Representative.

3.7 Pro Rata Sharing. If, through the operation of any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest hereunder and under the Trust Security Documents is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the Secured Obligations then outstanding, the Collateral Trustee shall to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, nonetheless apply the proceeds of the Collateral for the benefit of the holders of all Secured Obligations in the proportions and subject to the priorities specified herein and such Secured Obligations for which the security interest is not enforced shall be considered Secured Obligations hereunder for the purpose of Section 3.4; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to require the Collateral Trustee to disregard or violate any court order binding upon it and in all cases the Collateral Trustee may seek direction from the Directing Parties and a ruling from the court having jurisdiction over the operation of such Bankruptcy Law or other Applicable Law.

3.8 Collateral Account Information and Access. At such times as the Company or Directing Parties may reasonably request in writing the Collateral Trustee shall provide a full accounting of all funds then standing to the credit of the Collateral Account. The Collateral Trustee also shall provide the necessary information and passwords to enable the Company and the Primary Holder Representatives to electronically access account statements and data for the Collateral Account.

SECTION 3A

PREPAYMENT DEPOSIT ACCOUNT; DISTRIBUTIONS

3.1A The Prepayment Deposit Account. On the Effective Date there shall be established and, at all times thereafter until the trusts created by this Agreement shall have terminated, there shall be maintained in the name of the Company at such office of U.S. Bank National Association as selected from time to time by the Collateral Trustee an account which is

entitled the “ACAS Prepayment Deposit Account” (the “Prepayment Deposit Account”). All moneys which are required by the Primary Secured Instruments to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee for deposit in the Prepayment Deposit Account (the “Prepayment Monies”) shall be deposited in the Prepayment Deposit Account to be held by the Collateral Trustee as part of the Trust Estate and applied in accordance with Section 3.4A of this Agreement. The Prepayment Deposit Account and amounts therein are for the benefit of the Primary Secured Obligations and represent amounts held for prepayments and redemption of the Primary Secured Obligations.

All funds on deposit in the Prepayment Deposit Account shall constitute part of the Trust Estate. The Prepayment Deposit Account shall be subject to the exclusive dominion and control of the Collateral Trustee. To the extent of its right, title and interest therein, each Grantor hereby grants a security interest in and lien on the Prepayment Deposit Account, the Prepayment Monies, other items in the Prepayment Deposit Account and the proceeds thereof to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Secured Obligations. The Grantors shall have no rights (including to make withdrawals from or give instructions) with respect to the Prepayment Deposit Account or any funds contained therein except as otherwise expressly provided in Sections 3.3A and 3.4A of this Agreement.

3.3A Investment of Funds Deposited in Prepayment Deposit Account. The Collateral Trustee shall, at the direction of the Directing Parties or, if no Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Company, invest and reinvest moneys on deposit in the Prepayment Deposit Account at any time in Cash Equivalents. All such investments and the interest and income received thereon and the net proceeds realized on the sale or redemption thereof shall be held in the Prepayment Deposit Account as part of the Trust Estate. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any other Secured Party shall be responsible for (i) determining whether investments are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.3A or (ii) any diminution in funds resulting from such investments or any liquidation prior to maturity. In the absence of such directions, the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest moneys.

3.4A Application of Moneys.

(a) Promptly following receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a written request from the Company or the Directing Parties, the Company shall be permitted to instruct that amounts from the Prepayment Deposit Account be distributed to (x) the Credit Agreement Representative and the Public Note Representative in such respective amounts as the Company or the Directing Parties, as applicable, shall notify the Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with the Primary Secured Instruments (and each of the Credit Agreement Representative and the Public Note Representative shall be responsible for insuring that amounts distributed to it are distributed to the respective holders of Primary Secured Obligations as required by the Primary Secured Instruments) and (y) in the case of any Prepayment Deposit Excess Amount, to the Company. At any time while a Notice of Acceleration is not in effect, the Collateral Agent shall take direction under this Section 3.4A from the Company. At any time while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Agent shall take direction only from the Directing Parties and the Company shall not be entitled to request any distribution from the Prepayment Deposit Account. The Secured Hedge Providers shall not be entitled to make any withdrawal from, or be entitled to any amounts in the Prepayment Deposit Account unless and until the Primary Secured Obligations are paid in full.

(b) Upon payment in full of the Primary Secured Obligations without the exercise of remedies against the Collateral, all amounts in the Prepayment Deposit Account shall be transferred by the Collateral Trustee to (i) if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Account for application as set forth in Section 3 and (ii) if no Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Company.

3.5A Collateral Trustee’s Calculations. In making any distribution required by Section 3.4A, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to request from the Company or the Directing Parties prior to making any payment and distribution provided for in such Section 3.4A such information as may be required for such determinations and allocations, may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Company or the Directing Parties, as applicable, and the Collateral Trustee shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information; provided that nothing in this Section 3.5A shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.4A shall be (subject to Section 3.6A and to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Primary Holder Representative in respect of any amounts distributed to such Primary Holder Representative.

3.6A Pro Rata Sharing. If, through the operation of any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in the Prepayment Deposit Account and amounts therein is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the Primary Secured Obligations then outstanding, the Collateral Trustee shall nonetheless apply the proceeds of the Collateral for the benefit of the holders of all Primary Secured Obligations in the proportions and subject to the priorities specified herein and such Primary Secured Obligations for which the security interest is not enforced shall be considered Primary Secured Obligations hereunder for the purpose of Section 3.4A; provided that nothing in this Section 3.6A shall be deemed to require the Collateral Trustee to disregard or violate any court order binding upon it and in all cases the Collateral Trustee may seek direction from the Directing Parties and confirmation from the court having jurisdiction over the operation of such Bankruptcy Law or other Applicable Law.

3.7A Prepayment Deposit Account Information and Access. At such times as the Company or Directing Parties may reasonably request in writing the Collateral Trustee shall provide a full accounting of all funds then standing to the credit of the Prepayment Deposit Account. The Collateral Trustee also shall provide the necessary information and passwords to enable the Company and the Primary Holder Representatives to electronically access account statements and data for the Prepayment Deposit Account.

Indemnified Party is subject to tax by reason of actions hereunder or under the Trust Security Documents, unless such taxes are imposed on or measured by compensation paid to the Collateral Trustee under Section 4.3. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Trustee under or with respect to any contract, agreement, interest or obligation constituting part of the Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions thereof, the Grantors will save, indemnify and keep each Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction of liability whatsoever of any Grantor thereunder, arising out of a breach by such Grantor of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such Grantor or its successors from any Grantor, and all such obligations of the Grantors shall be and remain enforceable against and only against the Grantors and shall not be enforceable against the Collateral Trustee; provided that the Grantors shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to any liability arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

4.8 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Trustee or the Directing Party, and at the expense of the Grantors, each Grantor will promptly execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take such further action as is necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee or the Directing Parties further to perfect, or to protect the perfection of, the liens and security interests granted under the Trust Security Documents, including, without limitation, the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Trust Security Document, no Grantor shall be required to perfect the security interests granted by it in any Collateral by any means other than by (a) in the case of real estate Collateral, execution, delivery and recordation of a Mortgage, (b) filings pursuant to the UCC of the relevant State(s), (c) the delivery of control agreements with respect to deposit accounts and securities accounts, (d) filings with respect to intellectual property Collateral and (e) such additional actions as may be required pursuant to any Secured Instrument or Trust Security Document.

SECTION 5.

THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

5.1 Acceptance of Collateral Trust. The Collateral Trustee, for itself and its successors, hereby accepts and agrees to hold the Trust Estate created by this Agreement in trust upon the terms and conditions hereof; provided; however that, for the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding its agreement to hold the Trust Estate in trust: (i) the Collateral Trustee shall not have or be construed to have any fiduciary duties to the Grantors or the Secured Parties under Applicable Law or otherwise, (ii) except as provided in Applicable Law, the Collateral Trustee will have no responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly agreed to by the Collateral Trustee herein and in the Trust Security Documents and will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of the Secured Instruments and (iii) the enumerated powers in Sec. 11-1.1(b) of the NY Estates, Powers and Trusts Law Section shall not apply to the Collateral Trustee, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

5.2 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein, all of which are made solely by the Grantors. The Collateral Trustee makes no representations as to the value or condition of the Trust Estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the Grantors thereto or as to the security afforded by this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document, or as to the validity, execution (except its execution), enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this Agreement, the other Trust Security Documents or the Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Trustee shall incur no liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters.

(b) The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by the Grantors of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein or in any other Trust Security Document or Secured Instrument. Whenever it is necessary, or in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee advisable, for the Collateral Trustee to ascertain the amount of Secured Obligations then held by Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee may rely on a certificate of a Primary Holder Representative, in the case of the Secured Obligations for which such Primary Holder Representative acts, and, if a Primary Holder Representative shall not give such information to the Collateral Trustee, it shall not be entitled to receive distributions hereunder (in which case distributions to those Persons who have supplied such information to the Collateral Trustee shall be calculated by the Collateral Trustee using, for those Persons who have not supplied such information, the list then most recently delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 4.2), and the amount so calculated to be distributed to any Person who fails to give such information shall be held in trust for such Person until such Person does supply such information to the Collateral Trustee, whereupon on the Distribution Date following the date when such Person supplies such information to the Collateral Trustee the amount distributable to such Person shall be recalculated using such information and distributed to it. The Collateral Trustee shall have no liability to any Secured Parties with respect to any calculations made by the Collateral Trustee hereunder in the event any Primary Holder Representative shall fail to deliver its certificate as required herein. Nothing in this Section 5.2(b) shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any certificate so supplied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.2(b), so long as no Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on a certificate of a Responsible Officer with respect to the matters set forth in the second sentence of this Section 5.2(b).

(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document if taking such action (i) would subject the Collateral Trustee to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii) would require the Collateral Trustee to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.

(d) The Collateral Trustee shall have the same rights with respect to any Secured Obligation held by it as any other Secured Party and may exercise such rights as though it were not the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, any of the Grantors as if it were not the Collateral Trustee.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Collateral Trustee under and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Trust Security Documents or any Applicable Law except for its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided that this provision shall not limit any liability the Collateral Trustee may have in its capacity as a Secured Party. The Grantors and the Secured Parties each agree that they shall not assert any claim against the Collateral Trustee, on any theory of liability, for lost profits or special, indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived) any punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document.

(f) To the extent not prohibited by any Applicable Law, beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and, other than the exercise of reasonable care, the Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and to the extent not prohibited by any Applicable Law, shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith.

(g) The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens on any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the sufficiency of the form or substance of any Trust Security Document, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(h) In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

(i) Although not responsible for the sufficiency of the form or substance of any Trust Security Document or any other agreements or documents executed in connection therewith, the Collateral Trustee will be entitled: (i) to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including the Trust Security Documents expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it, (ii) to assume in all cases that the Trust Security Documents and all such other documents executed in connection with the Trust Security Documents are in form and substance satisfactory to the Primary Holder Representatives and (iii) to obtain confirmation of such acceptance from the Primary Holder Representatives.

(j) The Company and the applicable Directing Parties acknowledge that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency grant the Company and the applicable Directing Parties the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur. The Company and the applicable Directing Parties specifically waive receipt of such confirmations to the extent permitted by law and acknowledge that they will receive periodic cash transactions statements, which will detail all investment transactions made by the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

(k) If there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee, and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Trust Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Trust Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the Primary Holder Representatives or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The agreements of the Grantors and the Secured Parties under this Section 5.2 exculpating or otherwise protecting or authorizing the Collateral Trustee shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

5.3 Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any duty hereunder either directly or by or through agents or

attorneys-in-fact, accountants, appraisers or other experts selected by it. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such trusts, powers and duties. The Collateral Trustee shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it without bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each such agent, attorney-in-fact, accountant, appraiser and expert shall be entitled to the same benefits of this Agreement to which the Collateral Trustee is entitled, including (i) as to standards of care and (ii) the right to indemnification for itself and its directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees as if it were an Indemnified Party under Section 4.6. All fees, expenses and indemnity obligations owed to such separate trustee or co-trustee shall be entitled to share ratably with the Trustee Fees in the allocation of payments described in Section 3.4(b).

5.4 Reliance by Collateral Trustee. (a) Whenever in the administration of this Agreement or the other Trust Security Documents the Collateral Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be proved or established in connection with the Collateral Trustee taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder or thereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer delivered to the Collateral Trustee, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5.5.

(b) The Collateral Trustee may consult with counsel, and, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder or under any Trust Security Document in accordance therewith. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents from the Directing Parties, a certificate of a Responsible Officer or any court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any documents executed in connection herewith.

(c) The Collateral Trustee may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any direction, instruction, resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document which it has no reason to believe (without having any obligation to determine the authenticity or genuineness thereof) to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Collateral Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(d) The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents or to advance or expend funds in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights, at the request or direction of the Directing Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, unless the Collateral Trustee shall have been provided such security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Collateral Trustee in compliance with such request or direction, including such reasonable advances as may be requested by the Collateral Trustee.

(e) Upon any application or demand by any of the Grantors (except any such application or demand which is expressly permitted to be made orally) to the Collateral Trustee to take or permit any action under any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document, the Company shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement, in any other relevant Trust Security Document or in the Secured Instruments relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of any document is specifically required by any provision of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document relating to such particular application or demand, such additional document shall also be furnished.

(f) Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate of a Responsible Officer provided to such counsel in connection with such opinion or representations made by a Responsible Officer in a writing filed with the Collateral Trustee.

(g) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory directions from the Directing Parties, an Officers’ Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be directed by the Directing Parties to take, or that it may propose to take in its sole discretion, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Trust Security Documents.

(h) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by the Directing Parties that in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

(i) To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, in no event shall the Collateral Trustee have any obligation to inquire or investigate as to the correctness, veracity, or content of any direction received from the Directing Parties. To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, in no event shall the Collateral Trustee have any liability in respect of any such direction received by it and relied on with respect to any action or omission taken pursuant thereto.

The agreements of the Grantors and Secured Parties under this Section 5.4 exculpating or otherwise protecting or authorizing the Collateral Trustee shall survive the termination of the other provisions of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.

5.5 Limitations on Duties of Trustee. (a) The Collateral Trustee shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document against the Collateral Trustee. If a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee shall: (i) upon the direction

of the Directing Parties, as provided herein, but otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b), exercise the rights and powers vested in the Collateral Trustee by this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents, (ii) not be liable with respect to any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in accordance with such direction of the Directing Parties unless such action or omission is performed in bad faith or with wilful misconduct or gross negligence, and (iii) not be obligated to take any Collateral Enforcement Action or exercise any powers, rights or remedies hereunder except upon the receipt of such direction of the Directing Parties.

(b) To the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to take any action which is discretionary with the Collateral Trustee under the provisions hereof or of any other Trust Security Document, except upon the written direction of the Directing Parties at such time in accordance with the terms hereof. The Collateral Trustee shall make available for inspection and copying by each Primary Holder Representative each certificate or other paper furnished to the Collateral Trustee by any of the Grantors under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the Collateral.

(c) No provision of this Agreement or of any other Trust Security Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Collateral Trustee to perform any act or acts or exercise any right, power, duty or obligation conferred or imposed on it, in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal.

5.6 Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys received by the Collateral Trustee under or pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Trust Security Document (except Trustee Fees) shall be held in trust for the purposes for which they were paid or are held.

5.7 Resignation and Removal of the Collateral Trustee. (a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time, upon 30 days’ prior written notice (which prior notice may be waived by the Primary Holder Representatives) to the Company and each Primary Holder Representative, resign and be discharged of the responsibilities hereby created, such resignation to become effective upon (i) the appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee by the Directing Parties, (ii) the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Collateral Trustee and (iii) the approval of such successor Collateral Trustee evidenced by one or more instruments signed by the Directing Parties (which approval, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld). If no successor Collateral Trustee shall be appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 60 days after the Collateral Trustee gives the aforesaid notice of resignation, the Collateral Trustee, or, if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Directing Parties may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Trustee to act until such time, if any, as a successor Collateral Trustee shall have been appointed as provided in this Section 5.7. Any successor so appointed by such court shall immediately and without further act be superseded by any successor Collateral Trustee appointed by the Directing Parties as provided in Section 5.7(b). The Directing Parties may, at any time, upon giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Collateral Trustee, the Company and each other Primary Holder Representative, remove the Collateral Trustee and appoint a successor Collateral Trustee, such removal to be effective upon the acceptance of such appointment by the successor. The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to Trustee Fees to the extent incurred or arising, or relating to events occurring, before such resignation or removal.

(b) If at any time the Collateral Trustee shall resign or be removed or otherwise become incapable of acting, or if at any time a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Collateral Trustee for any other cause, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by the Directing Parties with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if no Event of Default exists and the Company has certified in writing to the Collateral Trustee that no Event of Default exists. The powers, duties, authority and title of the predecessor Collateral Trustee shall be terminated and cancelled without procuring the resignation of such predecessor and without any other formality (except as may be required by any Applicable Law) than appointment and designation of a successor in writing duly delivered to the predecessor and the Company. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents shall vest in such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Directing Parties, the Company, or the successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such predecessor hereunder and under the other Trust Security Documents and shall deliver all Collateral held by it or its agents to such successor. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing from any Grantor be reasonably required by any successor Collateral Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Collateral Trustee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Grantor. If such Grantor shall not have executed and delivered any such deed, conveyance or other instrument within 10 days after it received a written request from the successor Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the predecessor Collateral Trustee may execute the same on behalf of such Grantor. Such Grantor hereby appoints any predecessor Collateral Trustee as its agent and attorney to act for it as provided in the next preceding sentence.

Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, shall be Collateral Trustee under this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

5.10 Co-Collateral Trustee; Separate Collateral Trustee. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or to avoid any violation of law or imposition on the

Collateral Trustee of taxes by such jurisdiction not otherwise imposed on the Collateral Trustee, or the Collateral Trustee shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is necessary or prudent in the interest of the Secured Parties, or the Directing Parties shall in writing so request the Collateral Trustee, or the Collateral Trustee shall deem it desirable for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Trust Security Document, the Collateral Trustee and each of the Grantors shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the Collateral Trustee and, if no Default or Event of Default exists and the Company has certified in writing to the Collateral Trustee that no Event of Default exists, the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Collateral under this Agreement or under any of the other Trust Security Documents, jointly with the Collateral Trustee originally named herein or therein or any successor Collateral Trustee, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of any of the Collateral.

(iii) no power given hereby or by the other relevant Trust Security Documents to, or which it is provided herein or therein may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees shall be exercised hereunder or thereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Trustee, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding;

If the Company shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 30 days after it receives a written request from the Collateral Trustee to do so, or if a Notice of Acceleration is in effect, the Collateral Trustee with consent of Directing Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld) shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Company, the Company hereby appointing the Collateral Trustee its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in such contingency.

The Collateral Trustee may treat the registered holder or, if none, the payee or indorsee of any promissory note or debenture evidencing a Secured Obligation as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, whether such promissory note or debenture shall be past due or not.

6.13 New Grantors. During the term of this Agreement, one or more additional Subsidiaries may become a party to this Agreement by executing a joinder agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, whereupon such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor for all purposes and to the same extent as if originally a party hereto and shall be bound by this Agreement.

SECTION 7.

DESIGNATION OF REFINANCING OF SECURED OBLIGATIONS

7.1 Designations of Secured Obligations.The Company may at any time and from time to time designate additional obligations (whether outstanding on the date of such designation or on a prospective “when issued basis”) as obligations that are secured by the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7 (it being understood that if such notice is prospective such designation is contingent upon the issuance or incurrence of the related obligations) if and only if such obligations Refinance any or all of the Credit Agreement

Obligation and the Public Note Obligations in a Qualifying Refinancing. The Company shall furnish each Notice of Designation to each Primary Holder Representative promptly after delivering the same to the Collateral Trustee; provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the validity of any such designation. If each Primary Holder Representative receives such notice and none of them notifies the Company within 5 Business Days following the receipt thereof that it disagrees with the certification described in clause (iii) of Section 7.2 when the proceeds of such Refinancing Debt are applied to repay Credit Agreement Obligations or Public Note Obligations, as applicable, the designation of such additional obligations as Secured Obligations shall be binding upon the other holders of Secured Obligations for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however that nothing in this sentence shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of any Primary Holder Representative or other holder of Secured Obligations may have under any Secured Instrument with respect to the incurrence or designation of such obligations.

7.2 Designation of Refinancing Debt. Upon receipt by the Collateral Trustee of a written certification from a Responsible Officer of the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit C (each a “Notice of Designation of Refinancing Debt”) (i) identifying the obligations it is designating as “Refinancing Debt” under this Agreement, (ii) identifying the Primary Holder Representative with respect thereto, (iii) designating whether the Refinancing Debt will be classified as Credit Agreement Obligations or Public Note Obligations, (iv) stating that the incurrence and designation of such Indebtedness or financial accommodation as Refinancing Debt hereunder is permitted, or is not prohibited, as the case may be, by the Primary Secured Instruments, and (v) certifying that such Refinancing is a Qualifying Refinancing, such Indebtedness or other financial accommodation will become “Refinancing Debt” hereunder.

7.3 Termination of Designation. Once designated as secured pursuant to this Section 7, the relevant Secured Obligations shall remain secured pursuant to this Agreement until the first to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.12, (ii) the payment in full of such Secured Obligations and (iii) the delivery to the Collateral Trustee of the written consent of the relevant Primary Holder Representative or Secured Party to the release of the security interest in the Collateral securing such Secured Obligations.

SECTION 8.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO SECURED OBLIGATIONS

Each Secured Party shall be bound by the following terms:

8.1 Controlling Agreement. The Collateral Trustee shall be the secured party under the Trust Security Documents and shall hold the Collateral for the benefit of all the Secured Parties. The provisions contained herein concerning the Collateral and Proceeds shall be controlling, notwithstanding the terms of any agreement between any Secured Party and any Grantor under any other document or instrument between such parties, whether or not any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding shall at any time have been commenced with respect to any Grantor.

8.2 Incorrect Distribution. If any Secured Party receives any Proceeds of Collateral or any other Trust Monies or Prepayment Monies in an amount in excess of the amount such Person is entitled to receive under the terms hereof, such Person shall (a) hold such excess amount in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee until paid over to the Collateral

Trustee and (b) shall promptly pay such excess amount to the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall promptly distribute the amount so received in accordance with the terms of Section 3.4.

8.3 Return of Monies. If at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any Trust Monies or Prepayment Monies distributed hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Trustee or by any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, then each Person receiving any portion of such Monies agrees, upon demand, to return the portion of such Monies it has received to the Person responsible for restoring or returning such Monies; provided that the Public Note Representative and the Credit Agreement Representative shall not be required to return any such Monies that have been distributed by the Public Note Representative or the Credit Agreement Representative to the holders of the Public Notes or the Lenders, as applicable, or to other third parties, or are otherwise no longer in the possession of the Public Note Representative or the Credit Agreement Representative in their capacity as Indenture Trustee or Administrative Agent, as applicable.

8.4 Parties Having Other Relationships. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that now and in the future the other Secured Parties or their respective Affiliates may lend to the Company or any of its Subsidiary Entities on a basis other than as covered by this Agreement or may accept deposits from, act as trustee under indentures of, act as servicing bank, cash management bank or any similar function under any credit relationship with, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, all as if such Person were not a party to this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, each Secured Party acknowledges that the other Secured Parties and their respective Affiliates may exercise all contractual and legal rights and remedies which may exist from time to time with respect to such other existing and future relationships without any duty to account therefor to the other Secured Parties except as necessary to establish compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

8.5 Waivers of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, so long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid, the Secured Parties hereby agree to refrain from exercising any and all rights each may individually (i.e., other than through the Collateral Agent) now or hereafter have applicable to the Collateral or to exercise any right pursuant to the Trust Security Documents or the UCC as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction or under similar provisions of the laws of any jurisdiction or under any bankruptcy or other insolvency laws or otherwise dispose of or retain any of the Collateral. The Secured Parties hereby agree not to take any action whatsoever to enforce any term or provision of the Trust Security Documents or to enforce any right with respect to the Collateral, in conflict with this Agreement or the terms and provisions of the other Trust Security Documents.

8.6 Permitted Exercise of other Rights. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section 8, each Secured Party shall have all the rights and remedies available to it under the Secured Instruments which are not Trust Security Documents to which they are a party upon the occurrence of a default or an event of default, each as defined in the relevant Secured Instrument, or at any other time, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party shall have the independent right, exercised in accordance with the applicable Secured Instruments and applicable law, to do any of the following:

(a) accelerate payment of the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party pursuant to the Secured Instruments (other than this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents) to which such Secured Party is a party;

(b) institute suit against any Grantor: (i) under the terms of the applicable Secured Instruments (excluding this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents) for collection of the amounts owing thereunder or (ii) seeking an injunction, restraining order or any other similar remedy;

(d) file an involuntary petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws against any Grantor or file a proof of claim in any Insolvency Proceeding;

(e) during any Insolvency Proceeding of any Grantor, retain the right to vote; or

(f) take any other enforcement action with respect to any default or event of default pursuant to and in accordance with the Secured Instruments (other than this Agreement and the other Trust Security Documents) to which it is a party.

For the avoidance of doubt, after commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, no individual Secured Party shall have the right to consent or object to (i) a proposed use, sale or lease of Collateral, (ii) any request for, or proposed agreement regarding, the provision of adequate protection or (iii) any request for, or proposed agreement regarding, the use of cash collateral (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code), in each case, to which the Majority Secured Parties have agreed. In the absence of agreement by both Primary Holder Representatives, the rights of each individual Secured Party with respect to the matters described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence are reserved.

8.7 Secured Obligations Unconditional. All rights and interests of the Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Secured Parties (and, to the extent applicable, the Grantors) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Instrument;

(b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Secured Instrument;

(c) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any Lien in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any Refinancing of all or any portion of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof;

(d) the commencement or discharge of any Insolvency Proceeding; or

(e) any other circumstances other than repayment of the outstanding Secured Obligations that otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or any Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

8.8 Equal Ranking. The Collateral Trustee and each of the Secured Parties hereby agree that the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee under the Trust Security Documents shall be treated, as among the Secured Parties, as being for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Secured Parties (subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the priority of distributions set forth in Section 3.4 and Section 3.4A) and the other Trust Security Documents), without preference, priority, prejudice or distinction as to any Lien of any Secured Party over any other Secured Party. Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any of the Secured Obligations secured by the Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Credit Agreement Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Secured Obligations or any other circumstance whatsoever (but subject to Section 3.4 and Section 3.4A), each member of the Credit Agreement Class and each member of the Public Note Class shall have equal priority on a pari passu and a pro rata basis to all of the Collateral and Proceeds thereof.

8.9 No New Liens. The Secured Parties agree that (a) there shall be no Lien, and no Grantor shall have any right to create any Lien, on any assets of any Grantor securing any Secured Obligation if such assets are not subject to, and do not become subject to, a Lien of equal priority securing all the Secured Obligations on the same basis as set forth in Section 8.8 and (b) if any Secured Party shall acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing any Secured Obligation which assets are not also subject to a Lien of the same priority securing the other Secured Obligations, then such Secured Party will without the need for any further consent of any other Secured Party, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Secured Instrument, either (i) assign such Lien to the Collateral Trustee as security for the Secured Obligations or (ii) hold such Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as directed by the Directing Parties. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Secured Parties, the Secured Parties agree that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them while a Notice of Acceleration is in effect pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 8.9 shall be subject to Section 3.4.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first written above.
