Preservation of the Collateral Secured Party may, but is not required to, take such actions from time to time as Secured Party reasonably deems appropriate to maintain or protect the Collateral. Secured Party shall have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Secured Party takes such action as Grantor shall reasonably request in writing which is not inconsistent with Secured Party's status as a secured party, but the failure of Secured Party to comply with any such request shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care; provided, however, Secured Party's responsibility for the safekeeping of the Collateral shall (i) be deemed reasonable if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property, and (ii) not extend to matters beyond the control of Secured Party, including acts of God, war, insurrection, riot or governmental actions. In addition, any failure of Secured Party to preserve or protect any rights with respect to the Collateral against prior or third parties, or to do any act with respect to preservation of the Collateral, not so requested by Grantor, shall not be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care in the custody or preservation of the Collateral. Grantor shall have the sole responsibility for taking such action as may be necessary, from time to time, to preserve all rights of Grantor and Secured Party in the applicable Collateral against prior or third parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where Collateral consists in whole or in part of Capital Securities, Grantor represents to, and covenants with, Secured Party that Grantor has made arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Capital Securities (including rights to convert or subscribe, payment of dividends, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and Grantor agrees that Secured Party shall have no responsibility or liability for informing Grantor of any such or other changes or potential changes or for taking any action or omitting to take any action with respect thereto.
Appointment of the Custodian The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer and the Company, or shall, at the direction of the Company and the Master Servicer, appoint custodians who are not Affiliates of the Company, the Master Servicer or any Seller to hold all or a portion of the Custodial Files as agent for the Trustee, by entering into a Custodial Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company, Master Servicer and Trustee acknowledge that the functions of the Trustee hereunder with respect to the acceptance, custody, inspection and release of Custodial Files, and the preparation and delivery of the Interim Certification required pursuant to Section 2.02, shall be performed by the Custodian as and to the extent set forth in the Custodial Agreement. Subject to Article VIII, the Trustee agrees to comply with the terms of each Custodial Agreement with respect to the Custodial Files and to enforce the terms and provisions thereof against the related custodian for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Custodial File. Each Custodial Agreement, with respect to the Custodial Files, may be amended only as provided in Section 11.01. The Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders of the appointment of any custodian (other than the custodian appointed as of the Closing Date) pursuant to this Section 8.11.
Location of the Collateral Except in the ordinary course of Grantor's business, Grantor agrees to keep the Collateral (or to the extent the Collateral consists of intangible property such as accounts or general intangibles, the records concerning the Collateral) at Grantor's address shown above or at such other locations as are acceptable to Lender. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will deliver to Lender in form satisfactory to Lender a schedule of real properties and Collateral locations relating to Grantor's operations, including without limitation the following: (1) all real property Grantor owns or is purchasing; (2) all real property Grantor is renting or leasing; (3) all storage facilities Grantor owns, rents, leases, or uses; and (4) all other properties where Collateral is or may be located.

Upon disposition of the Collateral in accordance with the Borrower Documents, the Collateral Agent shall promptly distribute any cash or Collateral in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Security Agreement. Lenders must notify Collateral Agent in writing of the issuance of Notes to Lenders by Debtor. The Collateral Agent will not be required to act hereunder in connection with Notes the issuance of which was not disclosed in writing to the Collateral Agent nor will the Collateral Agent be required to act on behalf of any assignee of Notes without the written consent of Collateral Agent.
General Authority of the Collateral Agent By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.
Appointment Authority and Duties of Agent 12.1.1. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and designates Fleet as Agent to act as herein specified. Agent may, and each Lender by its acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably to have authorized Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Agent is or is intended to be a party and all amendments hereto and all Security Documents at any time executed by Borrower, for its benefit and the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders and, except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, to exercise such rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such other rights and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by Agent or the Required Lenders of any of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders.

The duties of Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or any Lender's participants). Unless and until its authority to do so is revoked in writing by Required Lenders, Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory (basing such determination in each case upon the meanings given to such terms in Appendix A), or whether to impose or release any reserve, and to exercise its own credit judgment in connection therewith, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Agent from any liability to Lenders or any other Person for any errors in judgment.
Responsibility of the Custodian In performing its duties and obligations hereunder, the Custodian shall use reasonable care under the facts and circumstances prevailing in the market where performance is effected. Subject to the specific provisions of this Section, the Custodian shall be liable for any direct damage incurred by the Fund in consequence of the Custodian's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Custodian be liable hereunder for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages arising out of, pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement even if the Custodian has been advised of the possibility of such damages. It is agreed that the Custodian shall have no duty to assess the risks inherent in the Fund's Investments or to provide investment advice with respect to such Investments and that the Fund as principal shall bear any risks attendant to particular Investments such as failure of counterparty or issuer.
Concerning the Collateral Agent The provisions of Article IX of the Credit Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent in respect of this Agreement and shall be binding upon all Loan Parties and all Finance Parties and upon the parties hereto in such respect. In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Collateral Agent therein set forth:
