Custodian hereby accepts such appointment. The Borrower shall establish with the Custodian on or before the date hereof and maintain (a) a Custodial Account which shall be a “Securities Account” within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the NYUCC to the extent that Financial Assets are credited to such account and a “Deposit Account” within the meaning of Sections 9-102(a)(29) and 9-104 of the NYUCC to the extent that Cash or Money is deposited to such account and, in both cases, which shall be initially identified in Schedule A to the Loan Agreement and (b) an Interest Reserve Account which shall be a “Securities Account” within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the NYUCC to the extent that Financial Assets are credited to such account and a “Deposit Account” within the meaning of Sections 9-102(a)(29) and 9-104 of the NYUCC to the extent that Cash or Money is deposited to such account and, in both cases, which shall be initially identified in Schedule A to the Loan Agreement, in which the Custodian will hold the Account Property in such accounts as provided herein. For purposes of the foregoing and Sections 2.2 and 2.3, the parties expressly agree that the Custodian shall be a Securities Intermediary whose jurisdiction is the State of New York for purposes of Article 8 and Section 9-305 of the NYUCC and a Bank whose jurisdiction is the State of New York for purposes of Section 9-304 of the NYUCC. The Custodian also agrees to establish sub-accounts to the extent contemplated by the Loan Documents or as the Custodian, the Borrower, the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may determine would be useful for record-keeping purposes.

Each party hereto agrees that each item constituting “Account Property” and other property, if any (other than Cash or Money) contained in or credited to the Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account, of whatever nature or kind, is to be treated as a “Financial Asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the NYUCC.

It is the intent of the parties that by virtue of the preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall have “Control” within the meaning of Sections 8-106(d)(2), 9-104 and 9-106 of the NYUCC.

- 3 -

(b) After delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Custodian shall (i) follow only the instructions of the Collateral Agent regarding the funds or other property on deposit in the Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account and not follow any directions regarding the funds or other property on deposit in the Custodial Account and the Interest Reserve Account from the Borrower and (ii) take all reasonable actions as directed by the Collateral Agent with respect to foreclosure or enforcement proceedings, including the prompt transfer to the Collateral Agent from time to time at its direction of all funds in the Custodial Account and the Interest Reserve Account and of all proceeds and products of the Account Property.

If there shall arise for whatever reason (other than as a result of the Custodian’s negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent action) an overdraft in the Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account in the ordinary course of the Custodian’s custody business, the Borrower shall reimburse the Custodian on written demand the amount of the overdraft.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify, and hold the Custodian and each of its Related Parties (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless and defend them from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, overdrafts, advances, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, but excluding income taxes or taxes arising from an Indemnitee’s negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraudulent action (all the foregoing non-excluded items, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraudulent action of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties. The Borrower may, in its sole discretion, and at its expense, control the defense of the claim including, without limitation, designating counsel for the Indemnitees (which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the

-11-

Indemnitees) and controlling all negotiations, litigation, arbitration, settlements, compromises and appeals of any claim; provided that (i) the Borrower may not agree to any settlement involving any Indemnitee that contains any element other than the payment of money and complete indemnification of the Indemnitee without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnitee and (ii) the Borrower shall engage and pay the reasonable expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnitee to the extent that the interests of the Indemnitee are in conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower shall be responsible to pay the reasonable fees of such separate legal counsel if such a conflict exists. All amounts due under this Section 7.2(a) shall be payable as Borrower Administrative Expenses in accordance with Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement and any request for payment under this Section 7.2(a) must be received by the Borrower, the Agents and the Collateral Administrator no later the last Business Day of each month in connection with payments to be made on the next succeeding Loan Payment Date.

(b) The indemnity provided to the Custodian in this Section 7.2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, including any termination under any bankruptcy law, or the resignation or removal of the Custodian hereunder.

(c) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party shall assert, and each hereby waives, and no party shall have any indemnity obligation with respect to, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) The Custodian shall have no duty (i) to see to any recording or filing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or to any rerecording or refiling of any thereof, (ii) to see to any insurance, or (iii) to see to the payment or discharge of any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any Collateral.

(e) The Custodian shall not be required to give any bond or surety in connection herewith or the powers granted hereunder.

(f) The Custodian may execute ministerial and ancillary duties through third party ministerial or ancillary service providers, including, but not limited to, pricing services, software vendors or corporate action service providers; provided that upon request by the Borrower, the Custodian shall to the extent permitted by applicable law, xxx such ministerial or ancillary service provider or otherwise enforce its rights against such service provider (provided that the Custodian shall be indemnified by the Borrower for any costs or expenses in connection with such action) and collect, on behalf of the Borrower, any proceeds or damages awarded in respect of any related judgment against such service provider, less any costs and expenses owing to the Custodian. The Custodian shall have no monitoring responsibility with respect to such persons and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such persons appointed by the Custodian with due care.

(g) The Custodian shall not be under any obligation to take action to collect any amount payable on Collateral in default, or if payment is refused after due demand and presentment.

(h) The Custodian is authorized to rely on information from the Valuation Agent or any generally recognized pricing information service (including brokers and dealers of the Collateral Administrator) as is necessary in order for it to perform its responsibilities hereunder and the Custodian shall not be liable for any fees, costs, expenses, liabilities or losses incurred as a result of errors or omissions of any such pricing information service, broker or dealer or Valuation Agent. The Custodian

-12-

may rely on data supplied by third parties (“Pricing Data”), such as pricing data, model pricing and indicative data, without independent investigation. The Custodian does not represent or warrant that the Pricing Data are correct, complete or current. THE CUSTODIAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACTIONS TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON PRICING DATA.

SECTION 7.3 Compensation. The Custodian will perform its duties and provide the services called for hereunder in exchange for compensation and expense reimbursement set forth in a separate fee letter with the Borrower in connection herewith. The payment obligations to the Custodian pursuant to this Section 7.3 accrued prior to the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Custodian. For the avoidance of doubt, all amounts payable under this Section 7.3 shall be payable only as Borrower Administrative Expenses in accordance with the order specified in the Priority of Payments as set forth in Section 2.07 of the Loan Agreement.

SECTION 7.4 Compliance with Legal Processes and Judicial Orders. If any Account Property subject to this Agreement is at any time attached or levied upon, or in case the transfer, delivery, redemption or withdrawal of any such Account Property shall be stayed or enjoined, or in the case of any other legal process or judicial order affecting such Account Property, the Custodian is authorized to comply with any such order in any matter as the Custodian or its legal counsel reasonably deems appropriate. If the Custodian complies with any process, order, writ, judgment or decree relating to the Account Property in accordance with the preceding sentence, then the Custodian shall not be liable to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or to any other person or entity even if such order or process is subsequently modified, vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

SECTION 7.5 Force Majeure. The Custodian shall be responsible for maintaining and preserving its operations, facilities and systems (including its computer and communication systems) in a manner consistent with commercial and supervisory standards prevalent in its industry. The Custodian agrees that it shall enter into and shall maintain in effect, at all times during the term of this Agreement, with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provision for (a) periodic back-up of computer files and data with respect to any accounts held by it and (b) emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to provide services under this Agreement. So long as the Custodian shall have complied with the foregoing maintenance or preservation requirements and provided that any delay or failure to take such action as may be required under this Agreement could not be prevented by the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Custodian, the Custodian shall not be liable for any delay or failure to take any action as may be required under this Agreement to the extent that any such delay or failure is caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; nuclear or natural catastrophes; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities; accidents; labor disputes; and acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Custodian shall use its best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. The Custodian shall provide the Borrower and the Agents with written notice of failure or delay to take action as may be required under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.6 Covenants of the Custodian.

(a) No Adverse Interest. The Custodian has not entered into, and hereafter during the term of this Agreement shall not enter into, any agreement granting “Control” (within the meaning of Sections 8-106(d)(2), 9-104 and 9-106 of the NYUCC) with respect to the Custodial Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Account Property to any Person, other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Custodian has a trust department which in the ordinary course of its business maintains security accounts for others and is acting in that capacity as Custodian under this Agreement.

-13-

(b) Duty to Negotiate in Good Faith. The Custodian hereby agrees that it shall, at the expense of the Borrower, negotiate in good faith with the other parties hereto with respect to any amendments, supplements or other modifications to this Agreement which may be proposed by any such party for the purpose of ensuring the perfection of the security interests which have been granted by the Borrower in the Account Property to the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.6(b) shall require the Custodian to undertake any obligation, business, service or activity (i) which it shall have chosen as an institutional, legal, business or policy matter (A) not to offer to the public or (B) to discontinue or (ii) for which it is not, based on its reasonable determination, adequately compensated. In executing or accepting the terms of any such amendment, supplement or modification, the Custodian shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon an opinion of counsel stating that the execution of such amendment, supplement or modification is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent thereto have been complied with. The Custodian may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment, supplement or modification which affects the Custodian’s own rights, duties or indemnities under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Compliance with Loan Agreement and Guarantee and Security Agreement. The Custodian hereby agrees that it is familiar with the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Guarantee and Security Agreement and that it shall comply with such provisions to the extent that such provisions are applicable to the Custodian thereunder or pursuant to the terms hereof.

SECTION 7.7 Customer Identification Program. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Custodian is subject to federal laws, including the Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, pursuant to which the Custodian must obtain, verify and record information that allows the Custodian to identify the Borrower. Accordingly, prior to opening the Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account the Custodian will ask the Borrower to provide certain information including, but not limited to, name, physical address, tax identification number and other information that will help the Custodian to identify and verify the Borrower’s identity such as organizational documents, certificate of good standing, license to do business, or other pertinent identifying information. The Borrower agrees that the Custodian cannot open the Custodial Account or the Interest Reserve Account unless and until the Custodian verifies the Borrower’s identity in accordance with its CIP.

Re: Custodial Agreement dated as of the date set forth in Schedule A to the Loan Agreement by and among The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, [ ], as borrower, and The Bank of New York Mellon, as custodian (the “Agreement”)

Date:

With respect to securities issued in the United States, the Shareholders Communications Act of 1985 (the “Act”) requires the Custodian to disclose to the issuers, upon their request, the name, address and securities position of its customers who are (a) the “beneficial owners” (as defined in the Act) of the issuer’s securities, if the beneficial owner does not object to such disclosure, or (b) acting as a “respondent bank” (as defined in the Act) with respect to the securities. (Under the Act, “respondent banks” do not have the option of objecting to such disclosure upon the issuers’ request.) The Act defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has, or shares, the power to vote a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise), or who directs the voting of a security. The Act defines a “respondent bank” as any bank, association or other entity that exercises fiduciary powers which holds securities on behalf of beneficial owners and deposits such securities for safekeeping with a bank, such as the Custodian. Under the Act, [INSERT BORROWER’S NAME] (“Customer”) is either the “beneficial owner” or a “respondent bank.”

¨ Customer is the “beneficial owner,” as defined in the Act, of the securities to be held by Custodian hereunder.

¨ Customer is not the beneficial owner of the securities to be held by Custodian, but is acting as a “respondent bank,” as defined in the Act, with respect to the securities to be held by Custodian hereunder.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, CUSTODIAN SHALL ASSUME THAT CUSTOMER IS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SECURITIES.

For beneficial owners of the securities only:

¨ Customer objects

¨ Customer does not object

to the disclosure of its name, address and securities position to any issuer which requests such information pursuant to the Act for the specific purpose of direct communications between such issuer and Customer.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, CUSTODIAN SHALL RELEASE SUCH INFORMATION UNTIL IT RECEIVES A CONTRARY WRITTEN INSTRUCTION FROM CUSTOMER.

With respect to securities issued outside of the United States, information shall be released to issuers only if required by law or regulation of the particular country in which the securities are located.

FACSIMILE/E-MAIL INSTRUCTIONS AUTHORIZATION

Re: Custodial Agreement dated as of the date set forth in Schedule A to the Loan Agreement by and among The Bank of New York Mellon, as administrative agent and as collateral agent, [ ], as borrower (the “Borrower”), and The Bank of New York Mellon, as custodian (the “Agreement”)

Date:

Customer Authorization, Limitation of Liability and Indemnity:

[INSERT BORROWER’S NAME] (“Customer”) hereby authorizes The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Bank”) to rely upon and comply with instructions and directions sent by e-mail, facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods (but excluding on-line communications systems covered by a separate agreement (such as the Bank’s Inform or CA$H-Register Plus system) (“On-Line Communications Systems”)) (“Electronic Methods”) by persons believed by the Bank to be Responsible Officers designated by Customer pursuant to the Agreement (“Responsible Officers”). Except as set forth below with respect to funds transfers, the Bank shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, a Responsible Officer of Customer (other than to verify that the signature on a facsimile is the signature of a Responsible Officer of Customer); and the Bank shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by Customer as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such instructions or directions. Customer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Methods to submit instructions and directions to the Bank, including without limitation the risk of the Bank acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

Funds Transfers. With respect to any “funds transfer,” as defined in Article 4-A of the Uniform Commercial Code, the following security procedure will apply: Customer’s payment instruction is to include the name and (in the case of a facsimile) signature of the person initiating the funds transfer request. If the name is listed as an authorized signer on the relevant account, the Bank will confirm the instructions by telephone call to a Responsible Officer of Customer who has been designated in writing by the Borrower as having authority to approve funds transfers, who may be the same person who initiated the instruction. When calling back, the Bank will request from Customer’s Responsible Officer his or her name. If the name is listed in the Bank’s records as a Responsible Officer of the Borrower with authority to approve funds transfers, the Bank will confirm the instructions with respect to amount, names and numbers of accounts to be charged or credited and other relevant reference information. Customer acknowledges that the Bank has offered to Customer other security procedures that are more secure and are commercially reasonable for Customer, and that Customer has nonetheless chosen the procedures described in this paragraph. Customer agrees to be bound by any payment order issued in its name, whether or not authorized that is accepted by the Bank in accordance with the above procedures. When instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alphanumeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number), the Bank, and any other bank participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named. This applies to beneficiaries as well as any intermediary bank. Customer agrees to be bound by the rules of any funds transfer network used in connection with any payment order accepted by the Bank hereunder.

This authorization shall remain in full force and effect until canceled, revoked or amended by written notice received by the Bank; and replaces and supersedes any previous authorization from Customer to the Bank relating to the giving of instructions by facsimile, e-mail or other similar Electronic Methods (but excluding

On-Line Communications Systems) and is in addition to all other authorizations. Notwithstanding any revocation, cancellation or amendment of this authorization, any action taken by the Bank pursuant to this authorization prior to the Bank’s actual receipt and acknowledgement of a notice of revocation, cancellation or amendment shall not be affected by such notice.

Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bank against any and all claims, losses, damages liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or sustained by the Bank as a result of or in connection with the Bank’s reliance upon and compliance with instructions or directions given by Electronic Methods, provided, however, that such Losses have not arisen from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank (it being understood that, other than with respect to verifying and confirming that instructions received by email or other similar Electronic Method, are, in fact, from an email address or address of another similar Electronic Method, of a person believed by the Bank to be a Responsible Officer of such Customer, the failure by the Bank to verify or confirm that the person giving the instructions or directions by email or other similar Electronic Method, is, in fact, an authorized person will not constitute negligence or willful misconduct.

This document shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the substantive laws (and not the choice of law rules) of the jurisdiction governing the Agreement.

Customer hereby represents and warrants to the Bank that this authorization is properly given and has been duly approved by a resolution of its Board of Directors or other governing body.

Nothing contained herein shall, or be deemed to, alter or modify the rights and remedies of the Bank as set forth in the Agreement.

The execution of this document by Customer constitutes acceptance of the foregoing.

Yours faithfully,

THE BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON
