THE TRUST ESTATE

Section 2.1 Declaration of Trust.

To secure the payment of the Parity Lien Obligations and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements set forth herein, each of the Obligors hereby confirms the grant of Liens in favor of the Collateral Trustee, and the Collateral Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to hold, in trust under this Agreement for the benefit of all current and future Parity Lien Secured Parties, on all of such Obligor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Collateral and on all Liens now or hereafter granted to the Collateral Trustee by each Obligor under any Parity Lien Security Document for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, together with all of the Collateral Trustee’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Parity Lien Security Documents, and all interests, rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Trustee thereunder or in respect thereof and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Trust Estate”).

The Collateral Trustee and its successors and permitted assigns under this Agreement will hold the Trust Estate in trust for the benefit solely and exclusively of all current and future Parity Lien Secured Parties as security for the payment of all present and future Parity Lien Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time:

(a) all Liens securing the Parity Lien Obligations have been released as provided in Section 4.1;

(b) the Collateral Trustee holds no other property in trust as part of the Trust Estate;

(c) no monetary obligation (other than indemnification and other contingent obligations not then due and payable and letters of credit that have been cash collateralized at the lower of (A) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount thereof and (B) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Parity Lien Documents) is outstanding and payable under this Agreement to the Collateral Trustee or any of its co-trustees or agents (whether in an individual or representative capacity); and

(d) the Parent delivers to the Collateral Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Obligors are not required by any Parity Lien Document to grant any Parity Lien upon any property,

then the Trust Estate arising hereunder will terminate, except that all provisions set forth in Sections 7.8 and 7.9 that are enforceable by the Collateral Trustee or any of its co-trustees or agents (whether in an individual or representative capacity) will remain enforceable in accordance with their terms.

The parties to this Agreement further declare and covenant that the Trust Estate will be held and distributed by the Collateral Trustee subject to the further agreements herein.

Section 2.2 Collateral Shared Equally and Ratably.

The parties to this Agreement agree that the payment and satisfaction of all of the Parity Lien Obligations will be secured equally and ratably by the Parity Liens established in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, notwithstanding the time of incurrence of any Parity Lien Obligations or time or method of creation or perfection of any Parity Liens securing such Parity Lien Obligations.

Section 2.3 Identical Liens.

The parties to this Agreement agree that it is their intention that the Parity Liens be identical.

If the Collateral Trustee at any time receives written notice from a Parity Lien Representative stating that any event has occurred that constitutes a default under any Parity Lien Document entitling the Collateral Trustee to foreclose upon, collect or otherwise enforce its Liens under the Parity Lien Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will promptly deliver written notice thereof to each Parity Lien Representative. Thereafter, the Collateral Trustee will await direction by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, will act, or decline to act, as directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, in the exercise and enforcement of the Collateral Trustee’s interests, rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Collateral or under the Parity Lien Security Documents or applicable law and, following the initiation of such exercise of remedies, the Collateral Trustee will act, or decline to act, with respect to the manner of such exercise of remedies as directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. The Collateral Trustee shall in no way be liable or obligated to take any action in the absence of (i) express provisions in the Parity Lien Security Documents to the contrary or (ii) any Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, and shall not be liable or responsible for any action taken upon an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders.

Section 3.4 Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will apply the proceeds of any collection, sale by the Collateral Trustee, foreclosure or other realization upon, or exercise of any right or remedy with respect to, any Collateral and the proceeds of any title insurance or other insurance policy (including business interruption insurance not

constituting “Collateral” (as defined in the Working Capital Facility Credit Agreement)) required under any Parity Lien Document or otherwise covering the Collateral, and any condemnation proceeds with respect to the Collateral, in the following order of application:

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s fees and any costs, expenses, reasonable legal fees (including reasonable legal fees and costs of counsel to the Collateral Trustee) or other liabilities of any kind incurred by the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with any Parity Lien Document (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)), in each case, in accordance with Sections 7.8 and 7.9;

SECOND, to the respective Parity Lien Representatives equally and ratably for application to the payment of all outstanding Parity Lien Debt, and any other Parity Lien Obligations, in either case that are then due and payable, in such order as may be provided in the Parity Lien Documents in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Parity Lien Debt, and all other Parity Lien Obligations, that are in either case then due and payable (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the Parity Lien Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding but excluding contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made) and including the discharge or cash collateralization (at the lower of (A) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount thereof and (B) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Parity Lien Documents) of all outstanding letters of credit, if any, the reimbursement obligations in respect of which constitute Parity Lien Debt; provided, however, that for purposes of determining the amount of Parity Lien Obligations owed to any Secured Hedge Counterparty that is also a Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty pursuant to this clause second, the gross amount of Parity Lien Obligations (other than any amount payable in respect of any Forward Purchase Contract) and the gross amount of Parity Lien Obligations in respect of Forward Purchase Contracts shall be calculated separately (without regard to any netting between Forward Purchase Contracts and other Swap Contracts) and the amount of Parity Lien Obligations payable to such Secured Hedge Counterparty that is also a Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty in respect of such Forward Purchase Contracts shall be limited to such Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty’s Forward Purchase Limited Exposure; provided, further that in no event shall the Parity Lien Obligations owing to a Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty under this clause second exceed the net Parity Lien Obligations of the Secured Hedge Counterparties then outstanding;

THIRD, to the extent not paid under clause second above, to the payment of any other Parity Lien Obligations that are then due and payable in respect of Forward Purchase Contracts with any Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty, ratably in accordance with any other Parity Lien Obligations that are then due and payable to each such Forward Purchase Secured Hedge Counterparty after deducting amounts paid under clause second above; and

FOURTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of the amounts described in the preceding clauses will be paid to the Parent or the applicable Obligor, as the case may be, and as directed in writing by the Parent, its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

(b) This Section 3.4 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future holder of Parity Lien Obligations, each present and future Parity Lien Representative and the Collateral Trustee as holder of Parity Liens. The Parity Lien Representative of each future issuance of Additional Notes and each future Series of Parity Lien Debt will be required to deliver to the Collateral Trustee a Collateral Trust Joinder and an Additional Secured Debt Designation as provided in Section 3.8 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Parity Lien Debt.

(c) Upon receipt from the Parent of an Officers’ Certificate certifying that (i) no Parity Lien Obligations are then due and payable as described in paragraphs SECOND and THIRD of Section 3.4(a) hereof and (ii) no letter of credit reimbursement obligations which constitute Parity lien Debt are outstanding, the Collateral Trustee shall, after payment of any amounts described in paragraph FIRST of Section 3.4(a) hereof that are then due and payable, pay the proceeds of any title insurance (other than any mortgagee policy of title insurance), any other insurance policy required under any Parity Lien Document or otherwise covering the Collateral, or any business interruption insurance and any condemnation proceeds with respect to the Collateral, as directed in writing by the Parent or its successors or assigns. In making the determinations and allocations in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Collateral Trustee may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the relevant Parity Lien Representative as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to its respective Parity Lien Debt and any other Parity Lien Obligations.

Section 3.5 Powers of the Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Parity Lien Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article 3 or, subject to the

other provisions of this Agreement, as requested in any lawful directions given to it in accordance with this Agreement from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders.

(b) No Parity Lien Representative or holder of Parity Lien Obligations (other than the Collateral Trustee) will have any liability whatsoever for any act or omission of the Collateral Trustee, and the Collateral Trustee will have no liability whatsoever for any act or omission of any Parity Lien Representative or any holder of Parity Lien Obligations.

Section 3.6 Documents and Communications.

The Collateral Trustee will permit each Parity Lien Representative and each holder of Parity Lien Obligations upon reasonable written notice and at reasonable times from time to time to inspect and copy, at the cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Parity Lien Security Documents and other documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such.

Section 3.7 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of Holders of Parity Lien Obligations.

The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the Collateral at any time transferred or delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estate solely and exclusively for the benefit of the present and future holders of present and future Parity Lien Obligations, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4.

Section 3.8 Additional Parity Lien Debt.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in Section 3.1(a) with respect to any Parity Lien Obligations constituting Additional Notes or a Series of Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof; provided that:

(i) such Parity Lien Obligations are identified as Parity Lien Debt in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b); and

(ii) the designated Parity Lien Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b) signs a Collateral Trust Joinder and an Additional Secured Debt Designation and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee.

(b) The Parent will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Parity Lien Debt hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes, the registered holder of Parity Lien Debt incurred by any Obligor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Parity Lien Documents. The Parent may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee an Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate that:

(i) states that the applicable Obligor intends to incur additional Parity Lien Debt (“Additional Parity Lien Debt”) that is permitted by each applicable Parity Lien Document to be secured with a Parity Lien equally and ratably with all other Parity Lien Debt;

(ii) specifies the name, address and contact information of the Parity Lien Representative for such series of Additional Parity Lien Debt for purposes of Section 7.6;

(iii) attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by each Obligor; and

(iv) states that the Parent has caused a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate and the related Collateral Trust Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Parity Lien Representative;

provided that, no Indebtedness incurred under the Working Capital Facility Credit Agreement or otherwise secured by the Working Capital Priority Collateral may be designated as Parity Lien Debt pursuant to this Section 3.8(b).

Although the Parent shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate, each Collateral Trust Joinder and each Additional Secured Debt Designation to each then existing Parity Lien Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Certificate, Collateral Trust Joinder and/or Additional Secured Debt Designation to any then-existing Parity Lien Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Parity Lien Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. The Collateral Trustee shall have the right to request that the Parent provide to it a legal opinion or opinions of counsel (subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions and substantially similar to any such opinions delivered to it on the date of this Agreement as it relates to the subject matter thereof) as to the Additional Parity Lien Debt being secured by a valid and perfected security interest in the Collateral; provided that (i) such legal opinion or opinions need not address any collateral of a type not previously covered by any legal opinion delivered by or on behalf of the Parent and (ii) nothing shall preclude such legal opinion or opinions from being delivered on a post-closing basis after the incurrence of such Additional

Parity Lien Debt if permitted by the Parity Lien Representative for such Additional Parity Lien Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Obligor to incur additional Indebtedness (including Additional Notes) unless otherwise permitted by the terms of all applicable Parity Lien Documents.

(c) With respect to any Parity Lien Obligations constituting Additional Notes or a Series of Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, each Obligor agrees to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee, provided that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to do so and shall have no liability in connection with or in failing to do so, or any Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Parity Lien Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Parity Lien Security Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons, provided that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to do so and shall have no liability in connection with or failing to do so, to ensure that ~~the~~such Additional Notes or the Additional Parity Lien Debt, as applicable, are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Parity Lien Security Documents, and each Parity Lien Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Parity Lien Security Documents). Each Obligor hereby further agrees that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) or Section 3.8(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Parent and the other respective Obligors, on a joint and several basis.

(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Obligor agrees to take the following actions with respect to the Mortgaged Properties with respect to all Additional Parity Lien Debt (it being understood that any such actions may be taken following the incurrence of any such Additional Parity Lien Debt on a post-closing basis if permitted by the Parity Lien Representative for such Additional Parity Lien Debt) to the extent necessary to ensure that such Additional Parity Lien Debt is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Parity Lien Security Documents with respect to such Mortgaged Properties:

(i) each applicable Obligor shall enter into, and deliver to the Collateral Trustee a mortgage modification or new mortgage, debenture, hypothec, deed of trust, deed to secure Indebtedness or similar document, instrument or agreement with regard to each Real Property subject to a mortgage, debenture, hypothec, deed of trust, deed to secure Indebtedness or similar document, instrument or agreement (each such mortgage, debenture, hypothec, deed of trust, deed to secure Indebtedness or similar

document, instrument or agreement an “Additional Mortgage Instrument”), in proper form for recording in all applicable jurisdictions, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee; and

(ii) each applicable Obligor will cause to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee a local counsel opinion (subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exceptions and substantially similar to any such opinions delivered to it on the date of this Agreement as it relates to the subject matter thereof) to the effect that the Collateral Trustee has a valid and perfected Lien with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

(iii) as to any Collateral of any Obligor that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Obligor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent in a transaction or other circumstance that is permitted by all of the Parity Lien Documents, at the time of such sale, transfer or other disposition or to the extent of the interest sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of; provided that the Collateral Trustee’s Liens upon the Collateral will not be released if the sale or other disposition is subject to Article 5 of the 2024 Indenture (or the equivalent provision in any other Indenture);

(iv) as to a release of less than all or substantially all of the Collateral, if consent to the release of all Parity Liens on such Collateral has been given by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders;

(i) in the case of any release pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iii), if the terms of any such sale, transfer or other disposition require the payment of the purchase price to be contemporaneous with the delivery of the applicable release, then, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and at the written request of and at the expense of the Parent or other applicable Obligor, the Collateral Trustee will either (A) be present at and deliver the release at the closing of such transaction or (B) deliver the release under customary escrow arrangements that permit such contemporaneous payment and delivery of the release; and

(ii) at any time when a Parity Lien Debt Default has occurred and is continuing, within one Business Day of the receipt by it of any Act of Parity Lien Debtholders pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(iv), the Collateral Trustee will deliver a copy of such Act of Parity Lien Debtholders to each Parity Lien Representative.

Section 4.2 Delivery of Copies to Parity Lien Representatives.

The Parent will deliver to each Parity Lien Representative a copy of each Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b), together with copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Trustee with such Officers’ Certificate.

Each Parity Lien Representative (other than the Trustee or any other Parity Lien Representative for a Series of Parity Lien Debt consisting of publicly issued notes) shall, within one Business Day of the receipt by it of the Officers’ Certificate and proposed release instrument(s) delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1(b), deliver a copy of such notice to each registered holder of the Series of Parity Lien Debt for which it acts as Parity Lien Representative.

comply with the written request of any Obligor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision (which written request must be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate relating to the same).

Section 4.4 Release of Liens in Respect of Notes.

In addition to any release pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 4.1 hereof, the Collateral Trustee’s Parity Liens will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the 2024 Indenture or any other Obligations under the Note Documents (as defined in the 2024 Indenture), and the right of the holders of the Notes to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Trustee’s Parity Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged as provided for in Section 12.05 of the 2024 Indenture, and after such termination and discharge of the 2024 Indenture, all covenants, limitations, obligations and restrictions contained in the 2024 Indenture referred to or referenced herein as applying to or restricting the actions or conduct of any of the Obligors shall be without further force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, such release, termination and discharge with respect to the Initial Notes and any other Obligations under the Note Documents (as defined in the 2024 Indenture) shall not release or discharge Liens securing Parity Lien Obligations other than the Notes and any other Obligations under the Note Documents (as defined in the 2024 Indenture).

ARTICLE 5

IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

Section 5.1 No Implied Duty.

The Collateral Trustee will not have any fiduciary duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement, the other Parity Lien Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Parity Lien Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentences, the use of the term “trustee” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Trustee is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, the other Parity Lien Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors.

The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

Section 5.3 Other Agreements.

The Collateral Trustee has accepted its appointment as collateral trustee hereunder and is bound by the Parity Lien Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall at the request of the Parent execute additional Parity Lien Security Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement (including to secure Obligations arising under Additional Parity Lien Debt to the extent such Obligations are permitted to be incurred and secured under the Parity Lien Documents); provided that such additional Parity Lien Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee or conflict with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Parity Lien Debt (other than this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents to which it is a party).

Section 5.4 Solicitation of Instructions.

(a) The Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, an Officers’ Certificate, a legal opinion from counsel to the Parent or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take,

or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Parity Lien Security Documents, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on any such certificate, opinion or order. In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Collateral Trustee may rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Collateral Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document, but, in the case of any document which is specifically required to be furnished to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to any provision hereof, the Collateral Trustee shall examine the document to determine whether it conforms to the requirements of this Agreement (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).

(b) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction.

(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement at the request, order or direction of the Required Parity Lien Debtholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such holders shall have furnished to the Collateral Trustee reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

Section 5.5 Limitation of Liability.

The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Parity Lien Security Document, except as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the Collateral Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 5.6 Documents in Satisfactory Form.

The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement but excluding Exhibits attached hereto, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it. The Collateral Trustee (i) makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of any Parity Lien Document and (ii) is not responsible for any statement in any Parity Lien Document other than its certificate of authentication and any representations and warranties made by it.

Section 5.7 Entitled to Rely.

The Collateral Trustee may seek and rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by any Obligor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Parity Lien Representative as to the holders of Parity Lien Obligations for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature believed by it in good faith to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Parity Lien Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel as to such matter and such Officers’ Certificate or opinion of counsel shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee (a) shall not be responsible to any Parity Lien Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties of any other Person contained herein, in the Parity Lien Documents or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, priority of sufficiency of this Agreement by or against any other Person, the Parity Lien Documents or the financial condition of the Parent, the other Obligors or any of them and (b) shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observation of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any Parity Lien Document.

Section 5.8 Parity Lien Debt Default.

The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Parity Lien Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Parity Lien Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders.

Section 5.9 Actions by Collateral Trustee.

As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Parity Lien Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an

Act of Parity Lien Debtholders in accordance with this Agreement and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant to hereto or thereto shall be binding on the holders of Parity Lien Obligations.

Section 5.10 Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee.

The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.

Section 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee.

In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Parity Lien Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Parity Lien Security Document. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Parity Lien Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee reasonably selected by it in good faith or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Parity Lien Representative a copy of any such written request. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which

it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee reasonably selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith.

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Obligor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Parity Lien Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Parity Lien Representative or holder of Parity Lien Debt to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this or any other Parity Lien Security Document or the Intercreditor Agreement or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Obligor.

Section 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(a) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the Parity Lien Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not be executed;

(b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Parity Lien Security Documents; and

Section 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials.

In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or

local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

Section 5.15 Other Relationships with the Obligors.

Wilmington Trust, National Association and its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Obligor and its Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Trustee hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Trustee, any trustee under any Indenture or any holder of Parity Lien Obligations. The Trustee, any trustee under any Indenture and the holders of the Parity Lien Obligations acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wilmington Trust, National Association or its Affiliates (and any successor Collateral Trustee and its Affiliates) may receive information regarding any Obligor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Obligor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Trustee shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Trustee, any trustee under any Indenture or the holders of the Parity Lien Obligations. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of Wilmington Trust, National Association (or any successor Collateral Trustee) to advance funds.

Section 7.5 Delay and Waiver.

No failure to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to the exercise of, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy arising under this Agreement or any of the other Parity Lien Security Documents will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof.

In the event for any reason the Law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral of any Obligor or any part thereof, or to any of the Parity Lien Obligations, such Obligor agrees to execute and deliver all such instruments and to do all such other things as the Collateral Trustee reasonably request pursuant to an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders to preserve, protect and enforce the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under the Law of such other jurisdiction (and, if an Obligor shall fail to do so promptly upon such request, then the Collateral Trustee may, but shall in no way be obligated to, execute any and all such requested documents on behalf of such Obligor pursuant to the power of attorney granted hereinabove).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, one or more Obligors may enter into contingency or other alternative fee arrangements for disputes counsel to receive up to 35% of the proceeds of any Commercial Tort Claim.

(ii) Continue to use each Trademark on each and every trademark class of goods applicable to its current (from time to time) line as reflected in its current (from time to time) catalogs, brochures and price lists to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for nonuse.

(iii) With respect to any Trademark, not (and not consent to or cooperate with any licensee or sub licensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any such Trademark becomes invalidated.

(iv) Not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any Patent becomes abandoned or dedicated.

(v) Notify the Collateral Trustee promptly if it knows that any application or registration relating to any Patent or Trademark becomes abandoned or dedicated, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office) regarding such Obligor’s ownership of any Patent or Trademark or its right to register the same or to keep and maintain the same.

(vi) Take all reasonable and necessary steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application currently pending (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of each Patent and Trademark owned by an Obligor, including filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

(vii) Promptly notify the Collateral Trustee after it learns that any Patent or Trademark owned by an Obligor included in the Collateral is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party and promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution, or to take such other actions as it shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Patent or Trademark.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligors may, in their reasonable business judgment, dispose of or fail to maintain, pursue, preserve or protect any Copyright, Patent or Trademark which is not material to their businesses and, with respect to any such disposition or failure to maintain, pursue, preserve or protect any Copyright, Patent or Trademark, the Obligors will not thereafter be required to provide any of the notices described in this Section 5(i) to the Collateral Trustee with respect to any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark; provided that the Obligors will respond to any inquiry of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any such Copyright, Patent or Trademark.

(j) Insurance. Insure, repair and replace the Collateral of the Obligors as required by ~~the~~any Indenture.

(k) Further Assurances.

(i) From time to time, at the expense of such Obligor, promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Collateral Trustee may request (such request to be made solely pursuant to an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement), to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by such Obligor hereunder or to enable the Collateral Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Obligor.

(ii) Each Obligor authorizes the Parent or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation statements identifying the Collateral, and all amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of such Obligor.

(l) [Reserved].

(m) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the execution of this agreement shall not result in any change in any Obligor’s liability under the contracts and agreements included in such Obligor’s Collateral to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Obligor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document, nor shall the Collateral Trustee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Obligor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(n) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree, and each of the Parity Lien Debtholders by their acceptance of their interests in the Parity Lien Debt agree, that the Collateral Trustee shall only be required to request action under this Section 5 upon an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders. In the absence of such Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, the Collateral Trustee shall not be required to and shall not make any requests hereunder and the Obligors, therefore, may not be required to take any further action under this Section 5.

6.	Remedies.

(a) General Remedies. The Collateral Trustee’s exercise of rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral shall be subject in all cases to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Collateral Trustee’s receipt of direction and indemnity with respect thereto. Upon the occurrence of a Parity Lien Debt Default and during the continuation thereof, the Collateral Trustee shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Parity Lien Documents, in any other documents relating to the Parity Lien Obligations, or by Law (including levy of attachment, garnishment and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), and further, the Collateral Trustee may, with or without judicial process or the aid and assistance of others, enter on any premises on which any of the Collateral may be located and, without resistance or interference by the Obligors, take possession of the Collateral, (ii) dispose of any Collateral on any such premises, (iii) upon ten (10) days written notice, require the Obligors to assemble and make available to the Collateral Trustee at the expense of the Obligors any Collateral at any place and time designated by the Collateral Trustee which is reasonably convenient to both parties, (iv) remove any Collateral from any such premises for the purpose of effecting sale or other disposition thereof, or (v) without demand and without advertisement, notice, hearing or process of law (except any notice required by law referred to

below or expressly required herein or pursuant to any Parity Lien Document) to or upon any Obligor, all of which each of the Obligors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, at any place and time or times, sell and deliver any or all Collateral held by or for it at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, for cash, upon credit or otherwise, at such prices and upon such terms as the Collateral Trustee deems advisable, in its sole discretion (subject to any and all mandatory legal requirements). Each Obligor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely because of the private nature of such sale. Neither the Collateral Trustee’s compliance with applicable Law nor its disclaimer of warranties relating to the Collateral shall be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale. To the extent the rights of notice cannot be legally waived hereunder, each Obligor agrees that any requirement of notice shall be met if such notice is personally served on, sent by mail, postage prepaid, or sent by nationally-recognized overnight delivery service to Parent in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 7.6 of the Collateral Trust Agreement at least 10 days before the time of sale or other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of the Collateral regardless of notice having been given. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any holder of Parity Lien Obligations may be a purchaser at any such sale. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, the Collateral Trustee may postpone or cause the postponement of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral by announcement at the time and place of such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, to the extent permitted by Law, be made at the time and place to which the sale was postponed, or the Collateral Trustee may further postpone such sale by announcement made at such time and place.

(b) Access. In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of a Parity Lien Debt Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Obligors without cost or charge to the Collateral Trustee, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Obligors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise. In addition, the Collateral Trustee may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises or any records with respect thereto, to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral. If the Collateral Trustee exercises its right to take possession of the Collateral, each Obligor shall also at its expense perform any and all other steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee to preserve and protect the security interest hereby granted in the Collateral, such as placing and maintaining signs indicating the security interest of the Collateral Trustee, appointing overseers for the Collateral and maintaining inventory records.

(c) Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies. Failure by the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Agreement, any other Parity Lien Document, any other document relating to the Parity Lien Obligations, or as provided by Law, or any delay by the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties in exercising the

same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties shall only be granted as provided herein. To the extent permitted by Xxx, neither the Collateral Trustee, the Parity Lien Secured Parties, nor any party acting as attorney for the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee and the Parity Lien Secured Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy which the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties may have.

(d) Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Trustee or the Parity Lien Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Obligors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel. Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Parity Lien Obligations shall be returned to the Obligors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

(e) Until the Collateral Trustee is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Trustee’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Trustee nor the Trustee shall be required to (1) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Obligor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Parity Lien Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (2) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Parity Lien Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (3) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(g) The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Obligor and the issuer would agree to do so.

7.	Rights of the Collateral Trustee.

(a) Power of Attorney. In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Obligor hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Obligor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Parity Lien Debt Default, in each case subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:

(i) to demand, collect, settle, compromise, adjust, give discharges and releases with respect to the Collateral, all as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably determine;

(ii) to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

(iii) to defend, settle or compromise any action brought with respect to the Collateral and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Collateral Trustee may deem reasonably appropriate;

(iv) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to an Obligor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to the Collateral of such Obligor on behalf of and in the name of such Obligor, or securing, or relating to such Collateral;

(v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any Collateral or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes;

(vi) adjust and settle claims under any insurance policy with respect to the Collateral relating thereto;

(vii) execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents with respect to the Collateral that the Collateral Trustee may determine necessary in order to perfect and maintain the security interests and liens granted in this Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

(viii) institute any foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Collateral that the Collateral Trustee may deem appropriate;

(ix) to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, transfer powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Collateral;

(x) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;

(xi) to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due there under directly to the Collateral Trustee or as the Collateral Trustee shall direct;

(xii) to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; and

(xiii) do and perform all such other acts and things as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably deem to be necessary, proper or convenient in connection with its exercise of rights and remedies in respect of the Collateral.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until such time as the Parity Lien Obligations arising under the Parity Lien Documents have been paid in full and the Parity Lien Documents have been terminated. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options granted to the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, in this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so. The Collateral Trustee shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. This power of attorney is conferred on the Collateral Trustee solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

(b) Assignment by the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee may from time to time assign the Parity Lien Obligations to a successor Collateral Trustee appointed in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement in relation thereto.

(c) The Collateral Trustee’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Obligors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Collateral Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Obligors. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own Property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Collateral Trustee shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral. In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 6, the Collateral Trustee shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Collateral Trustee has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

(d) Releases of Collateral. Upon any Release of Liens upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the Collateral Trustee, at the request and sole expense of any Obligor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Obligor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Parity Lien Security Document on such Collateral.

(e) Collateral Trustee’s Obligations. The Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights vested in it by this Agreement or to enforce any remedy or realize upon any of the Collateral unless (i) it has been directed to take such action by an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders, and (ii) it has been offered security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities (including fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. The Collateral Trustee shall not be held liable for any action or inaction taken in accordance with an Act of Parity Lien Debtholders and absent the Collateral Trustee’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(f) Limitation on Collateral Trustee’s and Trustee’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Trustee shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Trustee, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except that any such income actually received by the Collateral Trustee be applied to the Parity Lien Obligations. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Trustee to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Trustee (1) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Trustee, or for which the Collateral Trustee has not been provided indemnity satisfactory to it by holders of ~~the~~any Notes, to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (2) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (3) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (4) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (5) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (6) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Obligor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (7) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (8) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (9) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (10) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (11) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Trustee against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Trustee a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (12) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Trustee in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Obligor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7(f) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Trustee would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Trustee’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7(f). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7(f) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Obligor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Trustee that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7(f).
