Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and except as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, Extraordinary Receipts shall be held and applied as Rents in accordance with Article V of the Indenture when and as received. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly, but in any event prior to each Payment Date, at the written direction of the Manager, transfer any funds on deposit in the Collection Account that were received in the preceding Collection Period but which constitute property of a Person other than an Asset Entity, to an account specified by the Manager or otherwise as directed by the Manager.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Manager shall have the right to direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to invest sums on deposit in the Collection Account, any Site Acquisition Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and the Reserve Accounts in Permitted Investments; provided, however, in no event shall the Manager direct the Indenture Trustee to make a Permitted Investment if the maturity date of that Permitted Investment is later than one Business Day prior to the date on which the invested sums are required for payment of an obligation for which the Account was created. In the absence of such written instruction (which shall specify a particular Permitted Investment), such funds shall remain uninvested. After an Event of Default of which a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have actual knowledge and during the continuance thereof, sums on deposit in the Collection Account, any Site Acquisition Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and the Reserve Accounts shall remain uninvested unless otherwise directed in writing by the Servicer. The Obligors hereby irrevocably authorize the Indenture Trustee to apply any income earned from Permitted Investments to the Collection Account, any Site Acquisition Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and the Reserve Accounts in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture with any such income available on any Payment Date being deemed to be attributable to the immediately preceding Collection Period for such purposes.

The Collection Account, any Site Acquisition Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account and the Reserve Accounts shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of the Issuer, which number is set forth on the signature page hereof. Any dividends or other earnings which may accrue on the Collection Account, any Site Acquisition Account, the Liquidated Site Replacement Account or the Reserve Accounts shall be added to the balance in the applicable Account and allocated and/or disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be responsible for, or incur any liability with respect to, any investment losses incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that investments made pursuant to clause (vi) of the definition of Permitted Investments includes mutual funds for which the Indenture Trustee (or any Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee) may serve as investment manager, administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, or custodian or subcustodian, notwithstanding the fact that (i) the Indenture Trustee (or an Affiliate of the Indenture Trustee) receives fees from such funds for services rendered, (ii) the Indenture Trustee charges and collects fees for services rendered pursuant to the Indenture, which fees are separate from the fees received from such funds and (iii) services performed for such funds and pursuant to this Agreement and the Indenture may at times duplicate those provided to such funds by the Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates.

Each such account and any successor account, being referred to herein individually as a “Pledged Account” and collectively as the “Pledged Accounts.” The Securities Intermediary covenants and agrees that it shall not change the name or account number of any Pledged Account without the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee.

(c)    The Securities Intermediary covenants and agrees that: (i) all securities or other property underlying any financial assets credited to any Pledged Account shall be registered in the name of the Securities Intermediary, indorsed to the Securities Intermediary or indorsed in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Securities Intermediary; (ii) in no case will any financial asset credited to any Pledged Account be registered in the name of any Obligor, payable to the order of any Obligor or specially

If at any time the Securities Intermediary shall receive any entitlement order from the Indenture Trustee (i.e., an order directing transfer or redemption of any financial asset relating to a Pledged Account), the Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without further consent by any Obligor or any other person. If any Obligor is otherwise entitled to give any entitlement orders with respect to the Pledged Account in accordance with Section 7.04 and such entitlement orders conflict with any entitlement orders of the Indenture Trustee, the Securities Intermediary shall comply with the entitlement orders issued by the Indenture Trustee.

In the event that the Securities Intermediary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, by operation of law or otherwise a security interest in any Pledged Account or any financial assets, cash or other property credited thereto, the Securities Intermediary hereby agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest of the Indenture Trustee.

Section 7.06. Conflict with Other Agreements. The Securities Intermediary hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

(b)    It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any other person relating the Pledged Accounts and/or any financial assets credited thereto pursuant to which it agrees or has agreed to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) of such other person;

(c)    It has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement with any Obligor or the Indenture Trustee purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Securities Intermediary to comply with entitlement orders with regards to the Pledged Accounts; and

 

13


(d)    In the event of any conflict, with respect to the treatment of the Pledged Accounts, between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 7.07. Adverse Claims. The Securities Intermediary represents and warrants that except for the claims and interest of the Indenture Trustee and of any Obligor in the Pledged Accounts, it does not have actual knowledge of any security interest in, lien on or claim to, or other interest in, any Pledged Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC) credited thereto. If any person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Pledged Accounts or in any financial asset carried therein of which the Securities Intermediary has actual knowledge or receives written notice, the Securities Intermediary will promptly notify the Indenture Trustee and the Obligors thereof.

No delay or extension of time by the Indenture Trustee in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon the Obligors by the Indenture Trustee, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Indenture Trustee’s right, without notice (except as required by the Transaction Documents) or demand, to take any action against the Obligors or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
