SECTION 4.01. Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice. (a) Subject to Article IX hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default, the Defaulted Party shall have the right to give the Second Priority Collateral Trustees a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice, and if the Defaulted Party gives the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, with a copy to the Grantors, a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice, stating:

(i) the nature of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default; and

(ii) the action requested to be taken by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees with respect to the Collateral and the Second Priority Collateral Documents (which action

may include, without limitation, the institution of any remedies provided by law or this Agreement or any other Second Priority Collateral Document),

then the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall forthwith send a copy of the Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice to each Second Priority Representative. The Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall provide the Second Priority Collateral Trustees with a certificate that shall state whether or not they favor the Second Priority Collateral Trustees taking such action. If the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall not have provided the Second Priority Collateral Trustees with such certificate within 30 Business Days of receipt of the copy of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice, the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall be deemed to have not favored the taking of such action. If the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall have directed the Second Priority Collateral Trustees to commence the action set forth in the Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice then, subject to Section 4.01(b) and the right of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees to commence such action under the Second Priority Collateral Documents, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall forthwith undertake such action. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall, subject to Sections 4.01(b), 4.08 and 6.06, follow the directions of the Required Second Priority Representative(s) with respect to the time, method and place of taking any action requested in a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice. Each Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to assume conclusively that no Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default has occurred and is continuing until it receives a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice.

(b) If the Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default, which was the basis for the giving of a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice, shall be cured or waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Second Priority Secured Agreement, the Defaulted Party which gave such Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice shall promptly notify the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in writing of such cure or waiver, upon receipt of such written notice of a cure or waiver (i) such Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice shall be deemed withdrawn and (ii) any direction to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees to take any action in connection with such Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice shall be deemed immediately rescinded. If in connection solely with such withdrawn Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall have been directed to take, and shall have commenced taking but shall not have completed, any action, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall promptly terminate any such action which they shall not also have been directed to take in connection with a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice other than that withdrawn.

SECTION 4.02. Direction by Required Second Priority Representative(s). As to any matters not expressly provided for under this Agreement or the other Second Priority Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, matters relating to enforcement and collection of the Second Priority Secured Obligations), the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not be required to exercise any discretion or to take any action under this Agreement or the other Second Priority Collateral Documents, or in respect of the Collateral, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) in

accordance with the written instructions of the Required Second Priority Representative(s) which instructions shall reference Section 6.06 hereof.

SECTION 4.03. Right to Initiate Judicial Proceedings, Etc. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement but subject to Article IX hereof, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default and the receipt by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees of a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice that has not been withdrawn pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Second Priority Corporate Trustee, and if the Second Priority Corporate Trustee deems necessary or desirable, the Second Priority Individual Trustee, jointly or individually as the Second Priority Corporate Trustee may determine, (i) shall have the right and power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it or they, as the case may be, or the Required Second Priority Representative(s) may deem appropriate to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Agreement and the other Second Priority Collateral Documents and (ii) may either, after entry or without entry, proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to enforce such rights and to foreclose upon the Collateral and to dispose of, collect or otherwise realize upon, all or any portion of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) If a receiver of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate shall be appointed in judicial proceedings, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees may be appointed, at its discretion, as such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of a receiver, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall be entitled to retain possession and control of all cash held by or deposited with them or their agents or co-trustees pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Second Priority Collateral Document.

SECTION 4.04. Remedies Not Exclusive. (a) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees herein or in the other Second Priority Collateral Documents is intended to be a limitation exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, but every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy conferred herein or in the other Second Priority Collateral Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

(b) No delay or omission of either of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees to exercise any right, remedy or power accruing upon any Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default shall impair any such right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default or any acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement or any other Second Priority Collateral Document to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees.

(c) In case either of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or any other Second Priority Collateral Document and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to such Second Priority Collateral Trustees, then and in every such case the Grantors, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives and Second Priority Secured Holders

shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under such other Second Priority Collateral Document with respect to the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate, the Second Priority Collateral Account and in all other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of such Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

(d) Each Grantor expressly agrees that all rights of action and rights to assert claims upon or under this Agreement and the other Second Priority Collateral Documents may be enforced by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees without the possession of any debt instrument or the production thereof in any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall be brought in either of their names as Second Priority Collateral Trustees and any recovery of judgment shall be held as part of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate; provided that nothing in this Section 4.04(d) shall constitute a waiver of any right that the Grantors may have or may hereafter acquire to challenge the amounts outstanding under the Second Priority Secured Agreements.

SECTION 4.05. Waiver of Certain Rights. Subject to the Remedies Limitations, each Grantor, on behalf of itself and all who may claim through or under it, including, without limitation, any and all subsequent Affiliates, creditors, vendees, assignees and lienors, expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any, every and all rights to demand or to have any marshalling of the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate upon any enforcement of any Second Priority Collateral Document, including, without limitation, upon any sale, whether made under any power of sale herein granted or pursuant to judicial proceedings or upon any foreclosure or any enforcement of any Second Priority Collateral Document and consents and agrees that all the Second Priority Collateral Trust Estate and any such sale may be offered and sold as an entirety.

SECTION 4.06. Limitation on Second Priority Collateral Trustees’ Duties in Respect of Collateral. Beyond the duties set forth in this Agreement, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not have any duty to the Grantors or the Second Priority Representatives as to any Collateral in the Second Priority Collateral Trustees’ possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that each Second Priority Collateral Trustee shall be liable for its failure to exercise ordinary care in the handling of moneys and securities and other property actually received by it.

SECTION 4.07. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article IV may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Article IV are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable in whole or in part or, if the Second Priority Representatives elect that this Agreement should be recorded, registered or filed, not entitled to be recorded, registered, or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

SECTION 4.08. Absolute Rights of Second Priority Secured Holders and Second Priority Representatives. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Second Priority Collateral Documents but subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, each of the Second Priority Representatives and each of the Second Priority Secured Holders has an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of all of the Second Priority Secured Obligations owing to such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Secured Holder, as the case may be, when the same becomes due and payable and at the time and place and otherwise in the manner set forth in the applicable Second Priority Secured Agreement, and the right of each such Second Priority Representative and each such Second Priority Secured Holder to institute proceedings for the enforcement of such payment on or after the date such payment becomes due and to assert its position as a secured creditor in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in which any Grantor is a debtor, and the obligation of such Grantor to pay all of the Second Priority Secured Obligations owing to each of the Second Priority Representatives and each of the Second Priority Secured Holders at the time and place expressed therein, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Second Priority Representative or such Second Priority Secured Holder. In addition, subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, the right of any Second Priority Secured Holder or any Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself or on behalf of any such Second Priority Secured Holder, to receive payment or security from sources other than the Collateral shall not be, and is not hereby, impaired or affected in any manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.08, no Second Priority Representative and no Second Priority Secured Holder, on behalf of itself or on behalf of any Second Priority Secured Holder, shall be obligated to share with any other Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Holder any proceeds of any collateral, guaranty or right of setoff other than pursuant to, and to the extent expressly required under, this Agreement and the other Second Priority Secured Agreements; nor shall any Second Priority Representative’s or any Second Priority Secured Holder’s right to receive its ratable share of any amounts maintained in the Second Priority Collateral Account, if any, or any proceeds of any of the Collateral, or any part thereof, under the terms of this Agreement and the other Second Priority Collateral Documents be diminished or affected in any way by its right to receive proceeds of any other collateral or right of setoff, or payment upon a guaranty or from any other source.

SECTION 5.01. Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article IX hereof, if, pursuant to the exercise by the Defaulted Party of any rights and remedies set forth in any First Priority Collateral Document or Second Priority Collateral Document, any Collateral is sold or otherwise realized upon by the Controlling Collateral Trustees, (ii) the proceeds received by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in respect of such Collateral shall be deposited in the Second Priority Collateral Account, and all moneys held by the Second Priority Corporate Trustee in the Second Priority Collateral Account shall, to the extent available for distribution, be distributed by the Second Priority Corporate Trustee on each date upon which a distribution is made (each, a “Distribution Date”) as follows:

FIRST, to the payment (in such priority as the Second Priority Corporate Trustee shall elect, but without duplication) of all reasonable legal fees and expenses and other reasonable costs or expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees as secured parties under any Second Priority Collateral Document or otherwise in connection with any Second Priority Collateral Document or this Agreement (including, without limitation, any reasonable costs or expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with the sale of any assets covered by any Second Priority Collateral Document, or in the operation or maintenance of any of the assets covered by any Second Priority Collateral Document), including the reimbursement to any Second Priority Representative of any amounts theretofore advanced by such Second Priority Representative for the payment of such fees, costs and expenses, except only for any such fees, expenses, costs or liabilities incurred by any Second Priority Collateral Trustee as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing or failing to perform any of its duties to the parties hereto expressly set forth herein; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve the Grantors of their duties to pay such costs, fees, expenses and liabilities otherwise payable to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees from funds outside of the Second Priority Collateral Account, as required by this Agreement;

SECOND, to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees (without duplication) in an amount equal to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees’ Fees which are unpaid as of the Distribution Date and to any Second Priority Representative which has theretofore advanced or paid any such Second Priority Collateral Trustees’ Fees in an amount equal to the amount thereof so advanced or paid by such Second Priority Representative prior to such Distribution Date; provided, however, that nothing herein is intended to relieve the Grantors of their duties to pay such fees and claims from funds outside of the Second Priority Collateral Account, as required by this Agreement;

THIRD, in accordance with paragraph (b) below, with respect to any proceeds, ratably to the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the respective Second Priority Secured Holders for application to the Second Priority Secured Obligations of such Second Priority Secured Holders, or, to be held by such Second Priority Representative (or by the Second Priority Corporate Trustee on behalf of such Second Priority Representative pursuant to Section 5.02 or otherwise) pending such application, until all such Second Priority Secured Obligations have been paid in full; and

FOURTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of the Second Priority Secured Obligations shall, pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.02, be paid to the applicable Grantor, its successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) In order to determine the ratable amount to be distributed to each of the Second Priority Representatives pursuant to clause THIRD above on each Distribution Date, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Required Second Priority Representative(s), the Second Priority Corporate Trustee may rely on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower setting forth the Second Priority Secured Obligations (identified by type and amount) outstanding under each Second Priority Secured Agreement on such Distribution Date. The

ratable portion of the aggregate amount available for distribution hereunder on any Distribution Date which shall be distributed to each Second Priority Representative on such Distribution Date shall be a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the aggregate amount of Second Priority Secured Obligations of the Second Priority Secured Holders represented by such Second Priority Representative on such Distribution Date and (y) the denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of Second Priority Secured Obligations of all the Second Priority Secured Holders represented by the Second Priority Representatives on such Distribution Date; provided, however, that, for such purposes, amounts distributable to a Second Priority Representative on a prior Distribution Date and held on behalf of such Second Priority Representative and the Second Priority Secured Holders of such Second Priority Representative pursuant to Section 5.02 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been applied to the Second Priority Secured Obligations of the Second Priority Secured Holders represented by such Second Priority Representative, regardless of whether such application has occurred.

SECOND, ratably paid to the Senior Note Holders and the Other Indenture Debt Holders for any amounts then owing to them under the Senior Note Indenture Agreements and the Other Indenture Debt Agreements.

SECTION 5.02. Application of Withheld Amounts. If on any Distribution Date any amounts on deposit to the Second Priority Collateral Account are distributable pursuant to Section 5.01 to any Second Priority Representative, and if such Second Priority Representative shall have given notice to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees on or prior to such Distribution Date that all or a portion of such proceeds which are otherwise distributable to such Second Priority Representative pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be held by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees on behalf of such Second Priority Representative for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Holders of such Second Priority Representative, then the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall hold such amount in a separate non-interest bearing cash collateral account of the Second Priority Corporate Trustee for the benefit of such Second Priority Representative and such Second Priority Secured Holders, until such time as such Second Priority Representative shall deliver a written request for the delivery thereof from such account to such Second Priority Representative in accordance with Section 5.01(c).

The Second Priority Corporate Trustee shall invest amounts on deposit to any such account in such Cash Equivalents as the applicable Second Priority Representative may direct from time to time.

SECTION 5.03. Release of Amounts in Second Priority Collateral Account. Amounts distributable to a Second Priority Representative on any Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be paid to such Second Priority Representative for the benefit of such Second Priority Representative and its Second Priority Secured Holders by the Second Priority Corporate Trustee (or deposited to an account for the benefit of such Second Priority Representative and its Second Priority Secured Holders pursuant to Section 5.02) upon receipt by the Second Priority Corporate Trustee of a written certificate of such Second Priority Representative setting forth appropriate payments instructions for such Second Priority Representative. If no such notice is delivered by a Second Priority Representative within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Second Priority Corporate Trustee shall deposit amounts otherwise distributable to such Second Priority Representative to an account for the benefit of such Second Priority Representative and its Second Priority Secured Holders pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof.

SECTION 5.04. Distribution Date. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default, any amounts on deposit in the Second Priority Collateral Account shall, at the written request of the Required Second Priority Representative(s) (with a copy to the Grantors) be distributed as provided in this Article V.

(d) Any required filing for record of the instrument appointing a successor trustee or trustees as hereinabove provided shall be at the expense of the Grantors.

SECTION 7.10. Powers of Second Priority Individual Trustee. The Second Priority Individual Trustee has been joined as a party hereunder so that if, by any present or future applicable law in any jurisdiction in which it may be necessary to perform any act in the execution or enforcement of the trusts hereby created, the Second Priority Corporate Trustee may be incompetent, unqualified or unable to act as a collateral trustee, then all of the acts required to be performed in such jurisdiction, in the execution or enforcement of the trusts hereby created, shall and will be performed by the Second Priority Individual Trustee, acting alone.

SECTION 7.11. Additional Co-Trustees; Separate Trustees. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which

any of the Collateral shall be located, or the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall be advised by counsel satisfactory to them that it is so necessary or prudent in the interest of the Second Priority Representatives on behalf of the Second Priority Secured Holders, or the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall in writing so request by notice to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and the Grantors, or the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall deem it desirable for their own protection in the performance of their duties hereunder, or the Grantors shall in writing so request by notice to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees with the consent of the Required Second Priority Representative(s), the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and the Grantors shall execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Grantors and the Second Required Priority Representative(s), either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Collateral, jointly with the Second Priority Collateral Trustees originally named herein or any successor, or to act as separate trustee of any such property.

(b) Any separate trustee and any co-trustee (other than any trustee which may be appointed as successor to the Second Priority Corporate Trustee or the Second Priority Individual Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07) shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Second Priority Collateral Trustees hereunder shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and such separate trustee or co-trustee, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate trustee or co-trustee, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee;

(iii) no power given hereby to, or which it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or separate trustee, shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or separate trustee, except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding;

(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(v) the Grantors and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, at any time, by an instrument in writing, executed by them jointly, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Grantors and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees jointly, may appoint a successor (who shall be acceptable to the Required Second Priority Representative(s)) to such a separate trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that the Grantors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within 10 days after the receipt of a written request from the Second Priority Collateral Trustees so to do, or in case a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to appoint (with the consent of the Required Second Priority Representative(s)) a successor without the concurrence of the Grantors and the Grantors hereby appoint the Second Priority Collateral Trustees their agents and attorneys to act for them in such connection in either of such contingencies. In the event that the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall have appointed a separate trustee or co-trustee or as above provided, they may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee, the successor to any such separate trustee to be appointed by the Grantors and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, or by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees alone, as hereinbefore provided in this Section 7.11.

SECTION 7.12. Trustees Appointed Attorneys-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with full power and authority in the name of such Grantor or their own name and in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, from time to time at the direction of the Required Second Priority Representative(s), to take any action and to execute any instrument which the same may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Grantor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Collateral Documents. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and may not be revoked or modified except with the consent of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees or as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 7.13. Ordinary Care. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall be deemed to have exercised ordinary care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in their possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Second Priority Collateral Trustees accord their own property, it being understood that the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not have any responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not the Second Priority Collateral Trustees have or are deemed to have

(b) Any Grantor may, from time to time so long as no Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default shall have occurred and be continuing, request the release of the lien and security interest of the Second Priority Collateral Documents in any portion of the Collateral of such Grantor proposed to be released or sold or otherwise disposed of by such Grantor to any other Person, upon notice to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower (a “Notice of Partial Release”), which Notice of Partial Release shall be delivered to the other Grantors, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and the Second Priority Representatives at least twenty Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, sale or other disposition of such Collateral (unless a shorter period of time is acceptable to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and the Required Second Priority Representative(s)) and shall

recordable form as to the Collateral specified in such Notice of Partial Release from the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced by the Second Priority Collateral Documents, which release shall state that it is effective as of the date of such disposition; provided, however, that any release, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, of the lien and security interest of the Second Priority Collateral Documents in all or substantially all of the Collateral will require the consent of the Required Second Priority Secured Holders; provided, further, that, if prior to the time that the Second Priority Collateral Trustees deliver a release pursuant to this Section 8.01(b), the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall have received either (A) a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice that shall not have been withdrawn prior to such time and the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall have directed the Second Priority Collateral Trustees either not to deliver such a release or not to deliver releases generally or (B) a written objection from the Required Second Priority Representative(s) stating that such release, sale or other disposition is not permitted under the Applicable Agreement, then, in either case, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall so notify the Grantors and shall not sign any release or releases in connection with such disposition.

(c) If, at any time the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall receive a written notice from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, (i) stating that any promissory note or other similar or related instrument evidencing obligations payable to such Grantor and included in the Collateral has been paid in full in accordance with its terms (or will be so paid concurrently with the surrender thereof), and (ii) identifying such note or other instrument in reasonable detail (including, without limitation, by its date of issuance, the name of its payee and the principal amount thereof), then the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall promptly deliver a copy of each such notice to the other Grantors, each Second Priority Representative and, unless the Required Second Priority Representative(s) shall have disputed the accuracy of such notice within ten Business Days of the delivery of such notice, the Controlling Collateral Trustees shall promptly deliver such note or other instrument to the Borrower, and promptly execute and deliver a release or releases (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code release statements) in recordable form as to any such note or other instrument from the liens, security interests, conveyances and assignments evidenced by the Second Priority Collateral Documents, which release shall state that it is effective as of the date of its delivery.

(b) In furtherance of the undertaking set forth above in Section 8.02(a), the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall, upon the request of the Grantors accompanied by a certificate of an Authorized Officer of each Grantor, upon which the Second Priority Collateral Trustees may conclusively rely without independent verification, to the effect that all Second Priority Secured Obligations under the Second Priority Secured Agreements referred to in clause (i) of the preceding subsection (a) have been, or will, concurrently with the release of the Collateral be, paid in full in cash (and if such Second Priority Secured Obligations have not

previously been so paid, describing the source(s) of funds for such repayment), deliver a notice by registered mail to each of the Second Priority Representatives containing the following:

(i) a statement as to the total amount of moneys in the Second Priority Collateral Account and any account which has been established at the request of any Second Priority Representative pursuant to Section 5.02; and

(ii) a statement that the Second Priority Collateral Trustees will release such Collateral only upon receipt from the Second Priority Representatives of instructions to do so.

If the Second Priority Collateral Trustees receive a direction from the Second Priority Representatives to so release such Collateral (and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not have received any notice that a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default has occurred or is continuing), then the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall release all the Collateral from the security interest in their favor and deliver to the Grantors all Collateral in the possession of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees as specified in such instruction; provided, however, that the Grantors shall have made adequate provision for the expenses of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees associated with such release of Collateral and all other expenses of, or payable to, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees hereunder. If the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not have received an instruction so to release such Collateral (or shall have received a Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement Default Notice which has not been withdrawn), the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall not release the Collateral unless and until the Second Priority Representatives or a court of competent jurisdiction so directs the Second Priority Collateral Trustees pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment (including a judgment that becomes non-appealable by reason of expiration of any period of time limiting the right to appeal therefrom).

SECTION 8.03. Effect of Release of Collateral.

Notwithstanding (i) anything to the contrary contained in any Second Priority Collateral Document and irrespective of the time, order or method of attachment or perfection of the security interests created by the First Priority Collateral Documents or the Second Priority Collateral Documents, (ii) anything contained in any filing or agreement to which the First Priority Representatives, First Priority Collateral Trustees, any First Priority Secured Holders, any Second Priority Secured Holder or any other party hereto may be a party and (iii) the rules for determining priority under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other law governing the relative priorities of secured creditors, any security interest in any Collateral pursuant to the First Priority Collateral Documents has and shall have priority over any security interest in such Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents.

(b) Subject to Section 9.01(b), whether or not any bankruptcy proceeding or similar event or proceeding has been commenced by or against any Grantor, (i) the Second Priority Collateral Trustees will not (A) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or exercise any remedies with respect to any Collateral that is subject to the security interests granted under the First Priority Collateral Documents, (B) institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, including without limitation, any action of foreclosure, (C) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the First Priority Collateral Trustees or any other exercise by the First Priority Collateral Trustees of any rights and remedies under any First Priority Collateral Documents relating to the Collateral that is subject to the security interests granted under the First Priority Collateral Documents, (D) object to the forbearance by the First Priority Collateral Trustees to the bringing or pursuing of any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral that is subject to the security interests granted under the First Priority Collateral Documents, (E) take or receive from the Grantors or any of their Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set off or in any other manner, the Collateral or any part thereof or proceeds therefrom in satisfaction of the Second Priority Secured Obligations or (F) take or permit any action prejudicial to or inconsistent with the priority position of the Lien on the Collateral to secure the First Priority Secured Obligations over the Lien on the Collateral to secure the Second Priority Secured Obligations and (ii) the First Priority Collateral Trustees shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral that is subject to the security interests granted under the First Priority Collateral Documents; provided that this Section 9.02(b) shall not impair the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in otherwise taking any action deemed proper by it to preserve the rights of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holders under the Second Priority Collateral Documents (including by way of filing proof of claim or otherwise).

(c) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the Controlling Collateral Trustees may enforce the provisions of the First Priority Collateral Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in the exercise of its sole and exclusive discretion (as between the Controlling Collateral Trustees and the First Priority Representatives and First Priority Secured Holders, on the one hand, and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees and the Second Priority Secured Holders and Second Priority Secured Holders, on the other hand), including, without limitation, (i) the exercise of all rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral and/or the First Priority Secured Obligations, (ii) the enforcement or forbearance from enforcement of any Lien in respect of the Collateral (subject to Section 9.01(b)), (iii) the release, with or without consideration, of the Collateral from the Liens of the First Priority Collateral Documents, (iv) the exercise of rights and powers of a holder of shares of stock included in the Collateral under the First Priority Collateral Documents, (v) the acceptance of the Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of the First Priority Secured Obligations and (vi) the exercise of all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code or any similar Law of any applicable jurisdiction.

(d) If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an First Priority Agreement Default, the Controlling Collateral Trustees release their Lien in any part or all of the Collateral in connection with (i) the sale, transfer or other disposition thereof or (ii) the collection, or otherwise for the application, of the proceeds thereof to the First Priority Secured Obligations, in each case with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) in accordance with the First Priority Collateral Documents, then, simultaneously with such release, the Lien and security interest created pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents in such Collateral shall be automatically released, and upon any such release the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall, with respect to the Second Priority Collateral Documents, execute or cause to be executed such release documents and instruments and shall take such further actions as the Controlling Collateral Trustees shall request. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holder, hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the First Priority Collateral Trustees and any officer or agent of the First Priority Collateral Trustees, with full power of substitution, as their true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holders, and in the name of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holders, or in the First Priority Collateral Trustees’ own name, from time to time in the First Priority Collateral Trustees’ discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this paragraph, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this paragraph, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer or release. Any action taken in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 9.02(d) shall be effective notwithstanding the cessation of any First Priority Agreement Default. Notwithstanding any such release by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees as contemplated in this Section 9.02(d), it is understood that the Lien of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in any proceeds realized from such sale, transfer or other disposition shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Second Priority Collateral Documents, continue (unless such proceeds are applied to the payment of First Priority Secured Obligations)

and, following Payment in Full of the First Priority Secured Obligations, any proceeds remaining from any such sale, transfer, other disposition or collection shall, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, be made available (and the Grantors hereby agree to take any and all actions requested by the Required Second Priority Representative(s) necessary to make such proceeds available) to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees for application against the Second Priority Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03. Obligations Unconditional. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees acknowledge and agree on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holders to the relative priority as to the Collateral and the application of the proceeds therefrom as provided herein and acknowledge and agree that such priorities and the application of the proceeds from the Collateral shall not be affected or impaired in any manner whatsoever including, without limitation, on account of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Priority Secured Agreement or any Second Priority Secured Agreement;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the First Priority Secured Obligations, the Second Priority Secured Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any First Priority Secured Agreement, the Senior Note Indenture, or any other Second Priority Secured Agreement;

(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the First Priority Secured Obligations, Second Priority Secured Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the actual date and time of execution delivery, recording, filing or perfection of any security interests created in the Collateral;

(e) the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding in respect of any Grantor; or

(f) any other circumstances (except payment or discharge in full) which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the First Priority Secured Obligations, the Second Priority Secured Obligations or of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in respect of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.04. Waiver of Claims. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, for themselves and each Second Priority Representative and each Second Priority Secured Holder, waive any claim they might have against the First Priority Collateral Trustees, the First Priority Representatives or the First Priority Secured Holders with respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of judgment or negligence on the part of the First Priority Collateral Trustees, the First Priority Representatives, the First Priority Secured Holders or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the First Priority Collateral Documents or any transaction relating to the Collateral. Neither the First Priority Collateral Trustees, any First

Priority Representative, any First Priority Secured Holder nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, except to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the First Priority Collateral Trustees, any First Priority Representative, any First Priority Secured Holders or such other Person, or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor, the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, any Second Priority Representative, any Second Priority Secured Holder or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

SECTION 9.05. Agreement by the Grantors. (a) Each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to take any action in contravention of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) So long as the Second Priority Secured Obligations are still outstanding and the Second Priority Collateral Documents are still in effect, if at any time the Collateral has been sold or otherwise disposed of (whether pursuant to the exercise of remedies by the First Priority Collateral Trustees or otherwise) and the First Priority Collateral Trustees hold cash proceeds remaining after application as set forth in clause THIRD of Section 5.01(a) of the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, each Grantor by its signature to this Agreement irrevocably instructs the First Priority Collateral Trustees to turn over any such remaining proceeds to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees for application as set forth in the Second Priority Collateral Trust Agreement upon the sale or disposition of the Collateral as set forth in this Section 9.05(b).

(c) At any time that there are no First Priority Secured Obligations secured by a Lien under the First Priority Collateral Documents, if at such time the First Priority Collateral Trustees continue to hold any certificates representing shares of stock or instruments of indebtedness included in the Collateral or any other item of Collateral, each Grantor shall, as of the date of this Agreement, instruct the First Priority Collateral Trustees to turn over such certificates, instruments and other items of Collateral directly to Second Priority Collateral Trustees to be held by them under the Second Priority Collateral Documents upon the occurrence of the events and circumstances set forth in this Section 9.05. In no event shall the Second Priority Collateral Trustees have any liability for the First Priority Collateral Trustees’ failure to follow the instructions or directions of the Grantors pursuant to this Section 9.05(c).

SECTION 9.06. No Warranties, Etc. (a) The Second Priority Collateral Trustees acknowledge and agree that (i) none of the First Priority Collateral Trustees, the First Priority Representatives or the First Priority Secured Holders have made any representation or warranty herein or in the other Second Priority Collateral Documents with respect to the validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of the First Priority Secured Agreements and (ii) the First Priority Collateral Trustees may manage the Liens of the First Priority Secured Holders in the Collateral without regard to any rights or interests that the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives or the other Second Priority Secured Holders may have in the Collateral.

(b) Waiver of Marshalling and Similar Rights. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and Second

Priority Secured Holders agree not to assert and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert, or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisement, valuation or other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under applicable Law.

(c) Waiver of Requirements. The Second Priority Collateral Trustees hereby waive promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to this Agreement and any requirement that the First Priority Collateral Trustees, the First Priority Representatives or the First Priority Secured Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure (i) any Lien under the First Priority Collateral Documents or otherwise, (ii) any Collateral or (iii) any other property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Grantors, or any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person or any Collateral or any other collateral.

(d) No Liability of First Priority Collateral Trustees. This Agreement shall not create any agency relationship between the First Priority Collateral Trustees and the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives and/or the Second Priority Secured Holders. The First Priority Collateral Trustees, their officers, directors, employees and agents shall not be responsible, directly or indirectly, to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives and/or the Second Priority Secured Holders for any action taken or omitted by the First Priority Collateral Trustees hereunder, or under the First Priority Secured Agreements or otherwise, nor shall they be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered or incurred by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives and/or the Second Priority Secured Holders, other than any such loss, cost or expense found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the First Priority Collateral Trustees, their officers, directors, employees or agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the First Priority Collateral Trustees, their officers, directors, employees and agents make no representation or warranty herein and shall not be deemed to have made any representation and warranty herein: (i) as to the accuracy, validity, legality or enforceability of the First Priority Secured Agreements, the Second Priority Secured Agreements or any report, certificate, instrument or agreement delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or (ii) as to the validity, sufficiency, perfection or value of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.07. Reinstatement of First Priority Secured Obligations. The First Priority Secured Obligations owed to each First Priority Secured Holder under the First Priority Collateral Documents shall continue to be effective, or to be reinstated, as the case may be, as to any payment in respect of any First Priority Secured Obligation that is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by an First Priority Secured Holder upon the occurrence or as a result of applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all as though such payment has not been made.

SECTION 9.08. Sharing Arrangements. (a) The Second Priority Collateral Trustees for themselves and on behalf of the Second Priority Representatives and Second Priority Secured Holders hereby agree that the provisions of the First Priority Collateral Documents with respect to allocations and distributions of proceeds of the Collateral shall prevail notwithstanding any event or circumstance, including, without limitation, in the event that, through the operation of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other laws or otherwise, any of the Liens of the First Priority Secured Holders in the Collateral is avoided in

whole or in part for any reason or is enforced with respect to some, but not all, of the First Priority Secured Obligations then outstanding.

(b) The Second Priority Collateral Trustees, the Second Priority Representatives and the Second Priority Secured Holders agree that they shall not be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in accordance with the First Priority Collateral Documents, whether by preference or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of any such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in the First Priority Collateral Documents.

(c) In the event that any payment or distribution shall be received by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in a manner that is inconsistent with the provisions of Article V of the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, such payment or distribution shall be held by the Second Priority Collateral Trustees for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the First Priority Collateral Trustees for application in accordance with the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement.

(d) If the Second Priority Collateral Trustees shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or otherwise (including pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents), any lien, estate, right or other interest in, or possession or control of, any of the assets of any Grantor that would otherwise constitute Collateral, that lien, estate, right or other interest shall be subject to the relative priorities set forth herein.

SECTION 9.09. First Priority Collateral Trustees as Bailee. Subject to Section 9.06(c) hereof and Section 6.06 of the First Priority Collateral Trust Agreement, the First Priority Collateral Trustees acknowledge that, to the extent that the Collateral under the First Priority Collateral Documents includes items (such as stock certificates, instruments, cash or security entitlement) which are held in the possession of (or in the case of cash or a security entitlement under the control of) the First Priority Collateral Trustees, or a third party on their behalf, pursuant to the First Priority Collateral Documents, the First Priority Collateral Trustees are also holding such items in their possession (or under their control) as bailee of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees solely for purposes of perfecting the security interest of the Second Priority Collateral Trustees in such items; provided that nothing in this Section 9.09 shall require the First Priority Collateral Trustees to deliver any Collateral to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees so long as the First Priority Secured Obligations are still outstanding. Pursuant to Section 9.05(c), after Payment in Full of the First Priority Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall instruct the First Priority Collateral Trustees to deliver to the Second Priority Collateral Trustees all of the aforesaid items in the possession of the First Priority Collateral Trustees at such time.
