(a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and each Collateral Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 12.9. The provisions of this Section 12.9 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee, any of the Holders nor any of the Grantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 12.4. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder or any Grantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the ter...
Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Cash Management Bank) and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and the L/C Issuer for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Promptly after any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and to protect and maintain the Liens held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including delivery of any Collateral in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent). If no Person has accepted appointment as a successor Collateral Agent within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Administrative Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above. After its resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Collateral Agent. (a) The Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered to appoint one or more co-Collateral Agents as it deems necessary or appropriate.
Collateral Agent. (i) Each Buyer hereby (a) appoints Empery Tax Efficient, LP as the collateral agent hereunder and under the Security Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (b) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or pursuant to any Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees and agents shall have any liability to any Buyer for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or the Security Documents except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents.

Collateral Agent. The Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by Borrowers to secure any of the Obligations. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of Lenders, in its capacity as collateral agent, to enter into any of the Loan Documents as secured party for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing all Liens on Collateral (and any other collateral from time to time securing the Obligations), and as Agent for and representative of Lender thereunder, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of each such document. All powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of Lenders and Agent in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, either Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Agent, as agent for and representative of Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Agent at such sale; provided however, that neither Agent nor any Lender shall “credit bid” at any foreclosure and/or other public or private sale absent the consent of the Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) that bind Lenders with respect to (i) the Collateral and the rights of Lenders with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and (ii) any other subordination agreement with respect to any Subordinated Debt.
Collateral Agent. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent as if the Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein.
