hereunder or upon the written direction of the DIP Administrative

Section
2.4 Collateral

Depositary and the Borrowers agree that (i) each Collateral Account is and
will be maintained as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section
8-501 of the New York UCC); (ii) the U.S. Borrower (in the case of the U.S.
Borrower Dollar Collateral Account) and the Luxembourg Borrower (in the case of

Section 8-102(a)(7) of the New York UCC) in respect of the “financial assets”
(within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New York UCC, the “Financial Assets”)
credited to such Collateral Accounts; (iii) each item of property
(including a security, security entitlement, investment property, instrument or
obligation, share, participation, interest or other property whatsoever)
credited to any Collateral Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset and
(iv) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to or to the order
of and credited to any Collateral Account shall be registered in the name of,
payable to or to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Depositary or in
blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the
Depositary, and in no
- 6
-
case
will any Financial Asset credited to any Collateral Account be registered in the
name of, payable to or to the order of, or endorsed to, either Borrower except
to the extent the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by such Borrower to
the Depositary or in blank. Until this Agreement shall terminate in
accordance with the terms hereof, the DIP Administrative Agent shall have
“control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) of the New York UCC) of the
Collateral Accounts and the Borrowers’ “security entitlements” (within the
meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the New York UCC) with respect to the
Financial Assets credited to the relevant Collateral Account, to the exclusion
of the Borrowers. All property delivered to the Depositary pursuant
to this Depositary Agreement will be promptly credited to the Collateral
Accounts. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, and the
Depositary hereby agrees, that the Depositary will comply with all “entitlement
orders” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the New York UCC originated
by the DIP Administrative Agent regarding each Collateral Account and any
Financial Asset therein without the further consent of either Borrower or any
other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or
order originated by the DIP Administrative Agent and any instruction or order
originated by any other Person, the instruction or order originated by the DIP
Administrative Agent shall prevail. The Depositary shall not change
the name or account number of any Collateral Account without the prior written
consent of the DIP Administrative Agent.
Section
2.5 Jurisdiction
of Depositary. The
parties hereto agree that, for purposes of the New York UCC, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the
establishment and operation of the Collateral Accounts, the jurisdiction of the
Depositary is the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York govern
the establishment and operation of the Collateral Accounts.
Section
2.6 Degree of
Care; Liens. The
Depositary shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds
held in the Collateral Accounts and the investments purchased with such funds in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the Depositary exercises in the
ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and
investments for its own account and as required by applicable
law. The Depositary is not party to and shall not execute and
deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which the Depositary
agrees with any Person other than the DIP Administrative Agent to comply with
entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to any of
the Collateral Accounts or the security entitlements that are the subject of
this Depositary Agreement. The Depositary shall not grant any lien,
pledge or security interest in any Financial Asset that is the subject of any
security entitlement that is the subject of this Depositary
Agreement.
Section
2.7 Subordination of Lien;
Waiver of Set-Off. In
the event that the Depositary has or subsequently obtains by agreement,
operation of law or otherwise a Lien in any Collateral Account, any security
entitlement carried therein or credited thereto or any Financial Asset that is
the subject of any such security entitlement, the Depositary agrees that such
Lien shall (except to the extent provided in the last sentence of this Section
2.7) be subordinate to the Lien of the DIP Administrative Agent. The
Financial Assets standing to the credit of the Collateral Accounts will not be
subject to deduction, set-off, banker’s lien, or any other right in favor of any
Person other than the DIP Administrative Agent (except to the extent of returned
items and chargebacks either for uncollected checks or other items of payment
and transfers previously credited to one or more of the Collateral Accounts, and
each Borrower and the DIP Administrative Agent hereby authorize the Depositary
to debit the relevant Collateral Account(s) for such amounts).
Section
2.8 No Other
Agreements. None
of the Depositary, the DIP Administrative Agent or either of the Borrowers has
entered or will enter into any agreement with respect to any Collateral Account
or any security entitlements or any Financial Assets carried in or credited to
any Collateral Account, other than this Depositary Agreement, the other DIP Loan
Documents and customary agreements required to establish the Collateral Accounts
that are not inconsistent with this Depositary Agreement.

Section
2.9 Notice of
Adverse Claims. The
Depositary hereby represents that, except for the claims and interests of the
DIP Administrative Agent and the relevant Borrower in each of the Collateral
Accounts, the Depositary (a) as of the date of this Depositary Agreement,
has no knowledge of, and has received no notice of, and (b) as of each date
on which any Collateral Account is established pursuant to this Depositary
Agreement, has received no notice of, any claim to, or interest in, any
Collateral Account or in any security entitlement or Financial Asset carried
therein or credited thereto. If any Person asserts any Lien
(including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or
similar process) against any Collateral Account or in any security entitlement
or Financial Asset carried therein or credited thereto, the Depositary will
promptly notify the DIP Administrative Agent and the Borrowers
thereof.
Section

rights and powers granted to the DIP Administrative Agent by the DIP Lenders
have been granted in order to perfect their Lien in the Collateral Accounts and

DEPOSITARY
Section
4.1 Powers and
Immunities. The
Depositary shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly
set forth in this Depositary Agreement and no implied duties or covenants shall
be read against the Depositary. The Depositary shall not be a trustee
or fiduciary to any DIP Lender. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Depositary shall take all actions as the DIP Administrative
Agent shall direct it to perform in accordance with the express provisions of
this Depositary Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Depositary shall not be required to take any action which
is contrary to this Depositary Agreement or applicable law. Neither
the Depositary nor any of its affiliates shall be responsible to the DIP Lenders
for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by either
Borrower contained in this Depositary Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document
or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by any DIP Lender under any DIP Loan Document for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Depositary
Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document or any other document referred to or
provided for herein or therein or for any failure by either Borrower to perform
its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Depositary shall not be
required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance by either Borrower of any
of its obligations under any DIP Loan Document or any other document or
agreement contemplated hereby or thereby. Except as otherwise
provided under this Depositary Agreement, the Depositary shall take action under
this Depositary Agreement only as it shall be directed in
writing. Whenever in the administration of this Depositary Agreement
the Depositary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual matter be
proved or established in connection with the Depositary taking, suffering or
omitting to take any action hereunder, 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 an Authorized Officer of
the relevant Borrower or the DIP Administrative Agent, if
appropriate. The Depositary shall have the right at any time to seek
instructions concerning the administration of this Depositary Agreement from the
DIP Administrative Agent, either Borrower or any court of competent
jurisdiction. The Depositary shall have no obligation to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
of any of its duties hereunder. The
- 12
-
Depositary
may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either
directly or by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees appointed
with due care. Neither the Depositary nor any of its officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
under this Depositary Agreement or in connection therewith except to the extent
caused by the Depositary’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section
4.2 Reliance by
Depositary. The
Depositary shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon and shall not be bound to
make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any certificate of an
Authorized Officer of either Borrower, DIP Administrative Agent’s certificate or
any other notice or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been
signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice
and statement of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Depositary and shall have no liability for its actions taken
thereupon, unless due to the Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Depositary shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Depositary Agreement (i) if such
action would, in the reasonable opinion of the Depositary, be contrary to
applicable law or the terms of this Depositary Agreement, (ii) if such action is
not specifically provided for in this Depositary Agreement, it shall not have
received any such advice or concurrence of the DIP Administrative Agent as it
deems appropriate or (iii) if, in connection with the taking of any such action
that would constitute an exercise of remedies under this Depositary Agreement
(whether such action is or is intended to be an action of the Depositary or the
DIP Administrative Agent), it shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the DIP Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be
incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such
action. The Depositary shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Depositary Agreement in
accordance with a request of the DIP Administrative Agent, and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all
the DIP Lenders.
Section
4.3 Court
Orders. The
Depositary is hereby authorized, in its exclusive discretion, to obey and comply
with all writs, orders, judgments or decrees issued by any court or
administrative agency affecting any money, documents or things held by the
Depositary. The Depositary shall not be liable to any of the parties
hereto or any of the DIP Lenders or their successors, heirs or personal
representatives by reason of the Depositary’s compliance with such writs,
orders, judgments or decrees, notwithstanding such writ, order, judgment or
decree is later reversed, modified, set aside or vacated.
Section
4.4 Resignation
or Removal. Subject
to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Depositary as provided below,
the Depositary may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice
thereof to the DIP Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, provided that in the
event the Depositary is also the DIP Administrative Agent, it must also at the
same time resign as the DIP Administrative Agent. The Depositary may
be removed at any time with or without cause by the DIP Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no resignation or
removal of the Depositary shall be effective until: (i) a successor
Depositary is appointed in accordance with this Section 4.4, (ii) the
resigning or removed Depositary has transferred to its successor all of its
rights and obligations in its capacity as the Depositary under this Depositary
Agreement, and (iii) the successor Depositary has executed and delivered an
agreement to be bound by the terms hereof and perform all duties required of the
Depositary hereunder. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of a written
notice of any resignation or removal of the Depositary, the DIP Administrative
Agent (acting on the instruction of Requisite DIP Lenders) shall appoint a
successor Depositary. If no successor Depositary shall have been
appointed by the DIP
- 13
-
Administrative
Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Depositary’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the
retiring Depositary, then the retiring Depositary may apply to a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Depositary, which shall be a bank
or trust company which has an office in New York, New York and that has a
combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the
acceptance of any appointment as Depositary hereunder by the successor
Depositary, (a) such successor Depositary shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Depositary, and the retiring Depositary shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and (b) the retiring Depositary shall promptly
transfer all monies and Permitted Investments within its possession or control
to the possession or control of the successor Depositary and shall execute and
deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or
desirable to transfer the rights of the Depositary with respect to the monies
and Permitted Investments to the successor Depositary. After the
retiring Depositary’s resignation or removal hereunder as Depositary, the
provisions of this Article IV and of Article V shall continue in
effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was acting as Depositary. Any corporation into which the
Depositary may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Depositary shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business
of the Depositary or its corporate trust operations shall be the successor of
the Depositary hereunder 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.
