(b) as required by Article 4; or

(c) as ordered pursuant to applicable law under a final and nonappealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 3.3 Enforcement of Liens.

Thereafter, the Collateral Trustee may await direction by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties and will act, or decline to act, as directed by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, in the exercise and enforcement of the Collateral Trustee’s interests, rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral or under the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents or applicable law and, following the initiation of such exercise of remedies, the Collateral Trustee will act, or decline to act, with respect to the manner of such exercise of remedies as directed by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties. Unless it has been directed to the contrary by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee in any event may (but will not be obligated to) take or refrain from taking such action with respect to any default under any Pari Passu Lien Document as it may deem advisable and in the interest of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, subject, at all times, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will apply the proceeds (a) received under the Intercreditor Agreement or (b) subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon, or exercise of any right or remedy with respect to, any Collateral and the proceeds thereof, and the proceeds of any title insurance or other insurance policy required under any Pari Passu Lien Document or otherwise covering the Collateral in the following order of application:

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee ’s (and any former Collateral Trustee’s) fees and any reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee (and any former Collateral Trustee ) or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Pari Passu Lien Security Document (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations that are then due and payable);

SECOND, to the repayment of obligations, other than the Pari Passu Lien Obligations, secured by a Permitted Prior Lien on the Collateral sold or realized upon to the extent that such other Lien has priority over the Pari Passu Liens but only if such obligation is discharged (in whole or in part) in connection with such sale;

THIRD, to the respective Pari Passu Lien Representatives on a pro rata basis for each Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt that is secured by such Collateral for application to the payment of all such outstanding Pari Passu Lien Debt and any such other Pari Passu Lien Obligations that are then due and payable and so secured (for application in such order as may be provided in the Pari Passu Lien Documents applicable to the respective Pari Passu Lien Obligations) in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Pari Passu Lien Debt and all other Pari Passu Lien Obligations that are then due and payable (including all interest and fees accrued thereon after the commencement of any action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws at the rate, including any applicable Post-Petition Interest, specified in the Pari Passu Lien Documents, even if such Post-Petition Interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding); and

FOURTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of amounts described in the preceding clauses will be paid to the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, or to such other Persons as may be entitled to such amounts under applicable law or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt has released its Lien on any Collateral as described below in Section 4.4, then such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt and any related Pari Passu Lien Obligations of that Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt thereafter shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any Collateral so released by that Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt.

(b) This Section 3.4 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Pari Passu Lien Obligations, each present and future Pari Passu Lien Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of Pari Passu Liens. The Pari Passu Lien Representative of each future Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt will be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Joinder including a lien sharing confirmation as provided in Section 3.8 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt.

(c) In connection with the application of proceeds pursuant to Section 3.4(a), except as otherwise directed by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to) sell any non-cash proceeds for cash prior to the application of the proceeds thereof.

(d) In making the determinations and allocations in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the relevant Pari Passu Lien Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding or due and payable with respect to its respective Pari Passu Lien Debt and any other Pari Passu Lien Obligations.

SECTION 3.5 Powers of the Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article 3 or, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any lawful directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties.

(b) No Pari Passu Lien Representative or Pari Passu Lien Secured Party (other than the Collateral Trustee ) will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee.

SECTION 3.6 Documents and Communications. The Collateral Trustee will permit each Pari Passu Lien Representative upon reasonable written notice from time to time to inspect and copy, at the cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Pari Passu Lien Security Documents and other documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such.

SECTION 3.7 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the Collateral at any time transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estate solely and exclusively for the benefit of the present and future holders of present

and future Pari Passu Lien Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4.

SECTION 3.8 Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as collateral trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Pari Passu Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof if, unless such Funded Debt is issued under an existing Pari Passu Lien Document for any Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt whose Pari Passu Lien Representative is already party to this Agreement, the designated Pari Passu Lien Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee.

(b) The Borrower will be permitted to designate as Pari Passu Lien Debt hereunder any Funded Debt that is incurred by the Borrower or any Guarantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Pari Passu Lien Documents. The Borrower may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee (i) an Officers’ Certificate stating that the incurrence of such Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt is authorized and permitted by the Pari Passu Lien Documents and (ii) an Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt Designation that:

(1) states that the Borrower or such Guarantor intends to incur additional Pari Passu Lien Debt (“Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt”) which will be Pari Passu Lien Debt not prohibited by any Pari Passu Lien Document to be incurred and secured by a Pari Passu Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Pari Passu Lien Debt;

(2) specifies the name and address of the Pari Passu Lien Representative for such Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt for purposes of this Agreement including Section 7.6;

(3) states that the Borrower and each Guarantor has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt is secured by the Collateral (except for the Excluded Collateral) in accordance with the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents;

(4) attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by the Borrower and each Guarantor; and

(5) states that the Borrower has caused a copy of the Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt Designation and the related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Pari Passu Lien Representative.

Although the Borrower shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt Designation and each Collateral Trust Joinder to each then existing Pari Passu Lien Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt and/or Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Pari Passu Lien Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Borrower or any Guarantor to incur additional Funded Debt or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any Pari Passu Lien Documents.

(c) With respect to any Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt, Borrower and each of the Guarantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee , any Pari Passu Lien Representative or any Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Pari Passu Lien Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Pari Passu Lien Security Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by clause (d) below), to ensure that the Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, and each Pari Passu Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Pari Passu Lien Security Documents). Borrower and each Guarantor hereby further agree that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) or Section 3.8(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, Borrower and the respective Guarantors, on a joint and several basis.

(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower and each of the Guarantors agrees to take the following actions with respect to any real property Collateral with respect to all Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt:

(1) Borrower and the other applicable Guarantors shall enter into, and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a mortgage modification (each such modification, a “Modification”) or new mortgage or deed of trust with regard to each real property subject to a mortgage or deed of trust (each such mortgage or deed of trust a “Mortgage,” and each such property a “Mortgaged Property”), with such changes as may be required to account for local law matters, at the time of such incurrence, in proper form for recording in all applicable jurisdictions, and the Borrower and such Guarantors are jointly and severally liable to pay all filing and recording fees and taxes, documentary stamp taxes and other taxes, charges and fees, if any, necessary for filing or recording in the recording office of each jurisdiction where such real property to be encumbered thereby is situated;

(2) Borrower or the applicable Guarantor will cause to be delivered a customary local counsel opinion with respect to each such Mortgaged Property;

(3) Borrower or the applicable Guarantor will cause a title company to have delivered to the Collateral Trustee a title insurance policy (or, as applicable, an

endorsement to each title insurance policy previously delivered to the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Mortgage or Mortgages for such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt and all related other Pari Passu Lien Obligations), date down(s) or other evidence (which may include a new title insurance policy) (each such delivery, a “Title Datedown Product”), in each case insuring that (i) the validity, enforceability and priority of the Liens of the applicable Mortgage(s) as security for the Pari Passu Lien Obligations (including such Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt) has not changed and, if a new Mortgage is entered into, that the Lien of such new Mortgage securing the Pari Passu Lien Debt then being incurred shall be enforceable and have the same priority as any existing Mortgage securing then existing Pari Passu Lien Obligations, (ii) confirming and/or insuring that since the later of the original date of such title insurance product and the date of the Title Datedown Product delivered most recently prior to (and not in connection with) such Additional Pari Passu Lien Debt, there has been no change in the condition of title and (iii) there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the applicable Mortgage(s), in each case other than with respect to Liens permitted by each Pari Passu Lien Document (without adding any additional exclusions or exceptions to coverage); and

(4) the Borrower and the applicable Guarantor shall deliver to the approved title company, the Collateral Trustee and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to record each such Mortgage and Modification, to issue a Title Datedown Product and to create, perfect or preserve the validity, enforceability and priority of the Lien of the mortgage(s) as set forth above and contemplated hereby and by the Pari Passu Lien Documents.

(6) otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Collateral Trustee agrees for the benefit of the Borrower and the Guarantors that if the Collateral Trustee at any time receives all of the following:

then the Collateral Trustee will execute (at the sole cost and expenses of the Borrower or such Guarantor and with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and deliver such release to the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor on or before the later of (x) the date specified in such request for such release and (y) the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt of the items required by this Section 4.1(b) by the Collateral Trustee.

(1) in the case of any release pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.1(a), if the terms of any such sale, transfer or other disposition require the payment of the purchase price to be contemporaneous with the delivery of the applicable release, then, at the written request of and at the expense of the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) be present at and deliver the release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release; and

(2) at any time when a Pari Passu Lien Debt Default under a Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Trustee will make best efforts to deliver within one Business Day (and in any event, as soon as reasonably practicable), of the receipt by it of any Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Parties pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(3), the Collateral Trustee will deliver a copy of such Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties to each Pari Passu Lien Representative.

(d) Each Pari Passu Lien Representative hereby agrees that as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of an Officers’ Certificate from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1(b)(1) it will, to the extent required by such Section, either provide (A) the written confirmation required by Section 4.1(b)(3), (B) a written statement that such release is not permitted by Section 4.1(a) or (C) a request for further information from the Borrower reasonably necessary to determine whether the proposed release is permitted by Section 4.1(a) and after receipt of such information such Pari Passu Lien Representative will as soon as reasonably practicable either provide the written confirmation or statement required pursuant to clause (A) or (B), as applicable.

SECTION 4.3 Collateral Trustee not Required to Serve, File or Record. The Collateral Trustee is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral; provided, however, that if the Borrower or any Guarantor shall make a written demand for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC, the Collateral Trustee shall comply with the written request of such Borrower or Guarantor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision; provided, further, that the Collateral Trustee must first confirm with the Pari Passu Lien Representatives that the requirements of such UCC provisions have been satisfied.

ARTICLE 5. IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

SECTION 5.1 No Implied Duty. The Collateral Trustee will not have any fiduciary duties to any party. Use of the term “Collateral Trustee” or “collateral trustee” and the description of this Agreement as a “Collateral Trust Agreement” are for convenience purposes only and does not give rise to any fiduciary duties on the part of the Collateral Trustee . The Collateral Trustee will not have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement and the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents and no implied covenants or obligations under statute, common law or otherwise, shall be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents.

SECTION 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

(b) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties that in the sole 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 Pari Passu Lien Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

SECTION 5.5 Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Pari Passu Lien Security Document, except for its own gross negligence, or willful misconduct as determined by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.6 Documents in Satisfactory Form. The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form satisfactory to it.

SECTION 5.7 Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Trustee may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Borrower or any Guarantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Pari Passu Lien Representative as to the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement or the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents.

SECTION 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Pari Passu Lien Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Pari Passu Lien Security Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents 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 Pari Passu Lien 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 Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, it will 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 parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral, 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 the Collateral Trustee will 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 Liens on the Collateral; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Trustee will execute, file or record UCC-3 continuation statements and other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Trustee if it shall receive a specific written request to execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific document or instrument by any Pari Passu Lien Representative. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Pari Passu Lien Representative a copy of any such written request accompanied by such continuation statement or other specific document or instrument in proper recordable form. The Collateral Trustee will 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 the Collateral Trustee will 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.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will 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 in 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 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 validity of the title of the Borrower or any Guarantor 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. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed;

(2) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents; and

(3) the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties to the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents other than the Collateral Trustee.

SECTION 5.13 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

SECTION 5.15 Non-Reliance on Collateral Trustee

(a) The Collateral Trustee shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or Guarantors of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any Pari Passu Lien Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to any Pari Passu Lien Secured Party by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Pari Passu Lien Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower or any Guarantor that may come into the possession of the Collateral Trustee or any of its Affiliates.

(b) Each Pari Passu Lien Representative, on behalf of itself and each Pari Passu Lien Secured Party it represents, acknowledges that such Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on any other Pari Passu Lien Representative or the Collateral Trustee, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Pari Passu Lien Documents to which they are party or by which they are bound, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Pari Passu Lien Documents or this Agreement (it being understood that neither the Trustee nor Collateral Trustee has made and neither has a duty to make any credit analysis).

SECTION 6.2 Appointment of Successor Collateral Trustee. Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Trustee may be appointed by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties. If no successor Collateral Trustee has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the predecessor Collateral Trustee gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Trustee may (at the expense of the Borrower), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Trustee , or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Trustee , which must be a bank or trust company:

(a) authorized to exercise corporate trust powers;

(b) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; and

The Collateral Trustee will fulfill its obligations hereunder until a successor Collateral Trustee meeting the requirements of this Section 6.2 has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee and the provisions of Section 6.3 have been satisfied.

SECTION 6.3 Succession. When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Trustee accepts such appointment:

(a) such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Trustee , and the predecessor Collateral Trustee will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and

(b) the predecessor Collateral Trustee will (at the expense of the Borrower) promptly transfer all Liens and collateral security and other property of the Trust Estate within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Trustee and at the Borrower’s expense will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Trustee to transfer to the successor Collateral Trustee all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies of the predecessor Collateral Trustee in respect of the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents or the Trust Estate.

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Trustee will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and the provisions of Sections 7.9 and 7.10.

SECTION 6.4 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Trustee. Any Person into which the Collateral Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral Trustee shall be the successor of the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3, provided that (i) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (a) through (c) of Section 6.2 and (ii) the Collateral Trustee provides prompt written notice to the Borrower and each Pari Passu Lien Representative of the occurrence of any such merger, conversion or consolidation.

ARTICLE 7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 7.1 Amendment.

(a) No amendment or supplement to the provisions of any Pari Passu Lien Security Document will be effective without the approval of the Collateral Trustee acting as directed by an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, except that:

(1) any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of:

(A) adding or maintaining Collateral, securing additional Pari Passu Lien Obligations that are otherwise permitted by the terms of any Pari Passu Lien Document to be secured by the Collateral or preserving, perfecting or establishing the Liens thereon or the rights of the Collateral Trustee therein; or

(B) providing for the assumption of the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under any Pari Passu Lien Document in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or such Guarantor to the extent permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or any other Pari Passu Lien Documents, as applicable;

will become effective when executed and delivered by the Borrower or any other applicable Guarantor party thereto and the Collateral Trustee ;

(2) no amendment or supplement that reduces, impairs or adversely affects the right of any Pari Passu Lien Secured Party:

(A) to vote its outstanding Pari Passu Lien Debt as to any matter described as subject to an Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties (or amends the provisions of this Section 7.1(a)(2) or the definition of “Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties”);

(B) to share in the order of application described in Section 3.4 in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral that has not been released in accordance with the provisions described in Section 4.1 or 4.4;

(C) to require that Liens securing Pari Passu Lien Obligations be released only as set forth in the provisions described in Section 4.1 or 4.4; or

(D) under this Section 7.1,

will become effective without the consent of the requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt so affected under the applicable Pari Passu Lien Documents; and

(3) no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Trustee or any Pari Passu Lien Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Trustee or any Pari Passu Lien Representative, respectively, in its capacity as such will become effective without the consent of the Collateral Trustee or such Pari Passu Lien Representative, respectively.

(b) The Collateral Trustee will not enter into any amendment or supplement unless it has received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Pari Passu Lien Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement. Prior to executing any amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Collateral Trustee will be entitled

to receive an opinion of counsel of the Borrower to the effect that the execution of such document is authorized or permitted hereunder, and with respect to amendments adding Collateral, an opinion of counsel of the Borrower addressing customary Lien creation and perfection matters, and if such additional Collateral consists of equity interests of any Person which equity interests constitute certificated securities, Lien priority matters with respect to such additional Collateral (which opinion may be subject to customary assumptions and qualifications).

SECTION 7.2 Voting. In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Pari Passu Lien Debt, including under clause (ii) of the definition of “Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties”, each Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Pari Passu Lien Documents governing such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt. By way of example, if a matter under this Agreement requires a consent of a majority of the aggregate principal amount thereof to vote in accordance with the Pari Passu Lien Documents governing such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt, then such majority consent must be obtained for such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt to vote affirmatively under this Agreement; but if a matter under this Agreement requires 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof to vote in accordance with the Pari Passu Lien Documents governing such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt, then a unanimous consent must be obtained for such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt to vote affirmatively under this Agreement. For purposes of clause (i) of the definition of “Act of Required Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties”, the amount of Pari Passu Lien Debt to be voted by a Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt will equal the aggregate principal amount of Pari Passu Lien Debt voted affirmatively under such Series of Pari Passu Lien Debt.

Upon request of the Collateral Trustee, (a) each Pari Passu Lien Representative shall provide written notice to the Collateral Trustee of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Pari Passu Lien Debt for which it is the Pari Passu Lien Representative and (b)(i) each Pari Passu Lien Representative shall provide written notice to the Collateral Trustee of the aggregate principal amount of each holder of Pari Passu Lien Debt for which it is the Pari Passu Lien Representative solely to the extent that such information is available to such Pari Passu Lien Representative or (ii) each holder of Pari Passu Lien Debt, which has voted in connection with any matter under this Agreement, shall provide written notice to the Collateral Trustee of the aggregate principal amount of Pari Passu Lien Debt held by such holder.

SECTION 7.3 Further Assurances; Insurance.

(a) The Borrower and each of the Guarantors will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that the Collateral Trustee from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that the Collateral Trustee holds, for the benefit of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties, duly created and enforceable and perfected Liens upon the Collateral, (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become, or are required by any Pari Passu Lien Document to become, Collateral after the date hereof), in each case as contemplated by, and with the Lien priority required under, the Pari Passu Lien Documents.

(b) Upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Trustee or any Pari Passu Lien Representative at any time and from time to time, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors will promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such security documents, instruments, certificates, notices and other documents, and take such other actions as may be reasonably required, or that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, to create, perfect, protect, assure or enforce the Liens and benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Pari Passu Lien Documents for the benefit of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties.

(c) The Borrower and the Guarantors will maintain insurance as may be required by the Pari Passu Lien Security Documents, naming the Collateral Trustee as an additional insured and loss payee.

(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Trustee , the Borrower and the Guarantors will furnish to the Collateral Trustee full information as to their property and liability insurance carriers.

(e) The Borrower and the Guarantors will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all insurance policies required by Section 7.3(c) above to provide for not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Collateral Trustee of termination, lapse or cancellation of such insurance.

(f) Upon the request of the Collateral Trustee , the Borrower and the Guarantors will permit the Collateral Trustee, any Pari Passu Lien Representative or any of its agents or representatives, at reasonable times and intervals upon reasonable prior notice, to visit their offices and sites and inspect any of the Collateral and to discuss matters relating to the Collateral with their respective officers and independent public accountants. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents or representatives to examine and make copies of and abstracts from the records and books of account of the Borrower and the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries, all at the Borrower’s expense.

SECTION 7.4 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Collateral Trustee may not, in its capacity as such, delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Pari Passu Lien Representative and each present and future holder of Pari Passu Lien Obligations, each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof, and all of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Collateral Trustee , each Pari Passu Lien Representative and each present and future holder of Pari Passu Lien Obligations, each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof, and all of their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 7.5 Delay and Waiver. No failure to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to the exercise of, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy arising under this Agreement or any of the other Pari Passu Lien Security Documents will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy will preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

The Borrower shall promptly provide each Pari Passu Lien Representative with a copy of each Collateral Trust Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.18; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Collateral Trust Joinder to any then existing Pari Passu Lien Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Guarantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.18 are complied with.

SECTION 7.19 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement will be reinstated if at any time (i) any payment or distribution in respect of any of the Pari Passu Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned in an action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise by any Pari Passu Lien Secured Party or Pari Passu Lien Representative or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise) or (ii) all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the Pari Passu Lien Obligations is recovered from any Pari Passu Lien Secured Party or any Pari Passu Lien Representative in an action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise.

(b) Each party hereto, including the Borrower and the Guarantors, all hereby acknowledge and agree that in any action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, all of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties will be classified in the same class in any plan of reorganization or liquidation, and will receive the same treatment on account of their claims in any such plan of reorganization or liquidation, and that to the extent that any Person in any such action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws objects to such classification, the Borrower, Guarantors and all of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties shall take all commercially reasonable actions to defend against such objections. In order to further effectuate this provision, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that it will seek to assume this Agreement on the first day of any action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate such assumption. If, for any reason, the intent of this provision is frustrated in any action or proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws and cannot be implemented, each of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties agrees to turnover any distributions to the Collateral Trustee which it receives in any plan of reorganization of liquidation so that the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties would receive the same treatment in any such plan of reorganization or liquidation as if all of the Pari Passu Lien Secured Parties had been classified in the same class.

The Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture and any future Pari Passu Lien Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the indenture, credit agreement or other agreement governing the applicable Pari Passu Lien Debt with respect to which such
