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

(a) The Collateral Agent will, as Collateral Agent hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof if:

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

(2) unless such Indebtedness is issued under an existing Parity Lien Document for any Series of Parity Lien Debt whose Authorized Representative is already party to this Agreement, the designated Authorized Representative identified pursuant to Section 3.8(b) signs a Intercreditor Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the incurrence of revolving credit obligations under commitments that have previously been designated as Parity Lien Debt and (y) the issuance of letters of credit and incurrence of reimbursement obligations in respect thereof under commitments that have previously been designated as Parity Lien Debt, shall automatically constitute Parity Lien Debt and shall not require compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(b).

(b) The Issuer will be permitted to designate as Parity Lien Debt hereunder any Indebtedness that is incurred by the Issuer or any other Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable Parity Lien Documents. The Issuer may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Agent an Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation that:

(1) states that the Issuer or such other Grantor intends to incur, or has incurred, additional Parity Lien Debt (“Additional Parity Lien Obligations”) which will be (as specified in such Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation) Parity Lien Debt, not prohibited by any Parity Lien Document to be incurred and secured by a Parity Lien equally and ratably with all other Parity Lien Debt;

(2) specifies the name and address of the Authorized Representative for such Parity Lien Obligations for purposes of this Agreement including Section 7.6;

(3) states that the Issuer and each other Grantor party thereto has duly authorized, executed (if applicable) and recorded (or caused to be recorded) in each appropriate governmental office all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Parity Lien Obligations are secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Parity Lien Documents;

(4) attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation 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 the Issuer and each other Grantor; and

(5) states that the Issuer has caused a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation and the related Intercreditor Joinder to be delivered to each then existing Authorized Representative.

Although the Issuer shall be required to deliver a copy of each Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation and each Intercreditor Joinder to each then existing Authorized Representative, the failure to so deliver a copy of the Additional Parity Lien Debt Designation and/or Intercreditor Joinder to any then-existing Authorized Representative shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Parity Lien Obligations if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Issuer or any other Grantor to incur additional Indebtedness or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any Parity Lien Documents.

(c) With respect to any Parity Lien Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, Issuer and each of the other Grantors agrees to take such actions (if any) as may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any Act of Required Secured Parties, and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Guarantees and Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Security Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by clause (d) below), to ensure that the Additional Parity Lien Obligations are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Security Documents, and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Security Documents). Issuer and each Grantor hereby further agree 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, Issuer and the respective Grantors, on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 7.11).

(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, Issuer and each of the other Grantors agrees to take the following actions with respect to any real property Collateral located in the United States securing all

Additional Parity Lien Obligations within 75 days of the later of the delivery of the Additional Parity Lien Obligations Designation and the acquisition of such real property Collateral located in the United States (provided, that, to the extent the following actions are not completed within such 75 day period the Issuer and each other Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions until such time, if any, as the Issuer determines that any further efforts to take any such action would be commercially futile, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect delivered to the Collateral Agent):

(1) Issuer and the other applicable Grantors shall enter into, and deliver to the Collateral Agent a mortgage modification (each such modification, a “Modification”) or new mortgage or deed of trust with regard to each real property subject to a mortgage or deed of trust (each such mortgage or deed of trust a “Mortgage,” and each such property a “Mortgaged Property”), with such changes as may be required to account for local law matters, at the time of such incurrence, in proper form for recording in all applicable jurisdictions, in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling Representative and the Issuer and such other Grantors are jointly and severally liable (subject to Section 7.11) to pay all filing and recording fees and taxes, documentary stamp taxes and other taxes, charges and fees, if any, necessary for filing or recording in the recording office of each jurisdiction where such real property to be encumbered thereby is situated;

(2) Issuer or the applicable Grantor will cause to be delivered a local counsel opinion with respect to each such Mortgaged Property in form and substance, and issued by law firms, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling Representative;

(3) Issuer or the applicable Grantor will cause a title company reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling Representative to have delivered to the Collateral Agent a title insurance policy, date down(s), title endorsement or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Controlling Representative (which may include a new title insurance policy) (each such delivery, a “Title Datedown Product”), in each case insuring that (i) the validity, enforceability and priority of the Liens of the applicable Mortgage(s) as security for the Parity Lien Obligations (after including such Additional Parity Lien Obligations) has not changed and, if a new Mortgage is entered into, that the Lien of such new Mortgage securing the Parity Lien Debt then being incurred shall be enforceable and have the same priority as any existing Mortgage securing then existing Parity Lien Obligations, (ii) confirming and/or insuring that since the later of the original date of such title insurance product and the date of the Title Datedown Product delivered most recently prior to (and not in connection with) such Additional Parity Lien Obligations, there has been no change in the condition of title and (iii) there are no intervening liens or encumbrances which may then or thereafter take priority over the Lien of the applicable Mortgage(s), in the case of each of the foregoing subclauses (i), (ii), and (iii), other than with respect to Liens permitted by each Parity Lien Document (without adding any additional exclusions or exceptions to coverage, other than Liens permitted under the Parity Lien Documents)); and

(4) the applicable Grantor shall deliver to the approved title company, the Collateral Agent and/or all other relevant third parties all other items reasonably necessary to record each such Mortgage and Modification, to issue a Title Datedown Product and to create, perfect or preserve the validity, enforceability and priority of the Lien of the mortgage(s) as set forth above and contemplated hereby and by the Parity Lien Documents.

(2) as to any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by the Issuer or any other Grantor to a Person that is not (either before or after such sale, transfer or disposition) the Issuer or another Note Obligor in a transaction or other circumstance that is permitted by Section 4.06 of the Indenture, if any, and is permitted by all of the other 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 Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral will not be released if the sale or disposition is to a Person who succeeds to, and is substituted for, the Issuer or any other Note Obligor under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to the provisions in the Indenture governing “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”;

(3) as to a release of less than all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than pursuant to clause (2) above), if directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties (but only upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that the release was permitted by each applicable Parity Lien Debt Document); provided, that this clause (3) shall not apply to (i) Discharge of Parity Lien Obligations upon payment in full thereof or (ii) sales or dispositions to a Person or a Subsidiary of a Person who succeeds to, and is substituted for, the Issuer or any other Note Obligor under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to the provisions in the Indenture governing “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”;

(5) if any Grantor (i) ceases to be a Note Guarantor (including as a result of being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or ceasing to be a Subsidiary) (ii) is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a Person that is not the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or (iii) is released from its obligations under each of the Security Documents, then the Liens on such Collateral and the obligations of such Grantor under its Guarantee of the Parity Lien Obligations, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released; and

(6) if and to the extent required under the Intercreditor Agreements.

(b) The Collateral Agent agrees for the benefit of the Issuer and the other Grantors that if the Collateral Agent at any time receives an Officers’ Certificate stating that (A) the signing officer has read Article 4 of this Agreement and understands the provisions and the definitions relating hereto, (B) such officer has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not the conditions precedent in this Agreement and all other Parity Lien Documents, if any, relating to the release of the Collateral have been complied with and (C) in the opinion of such officer, such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, then the Collateral Agent will execute (with such acknowledgements and/or notarizations as are required) and deliver such release to the Issuer or other applicable Grantor on or before the later of (x) the date specified in such request for such release and (y) the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt of the items required by this Section 4.1(b) by the Collateral Agent.

(1) in the case of any release pursuant to clause (2) of Section 4.1(a), 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, at the written request of and at the expense of the Issuer or other applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent 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

(2) at any time when a Parity Lien Debt Default under a Series of Parity Lien Debt has occurred and is continuing, within one Business Day of the receipt by it of any Act of Required Secured Parties pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(3), the Collateral Agent will deliver a copy of such Act of Required Secured Parties to each Authorized Representative.

(d) Each Authorized Representative hereby agrees that within one Business Day of the receipt by it of any notice from the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(2), such Authorized Representative will deliver a copy of such notice to each registered holder of the Series of Parity Lien Debt for which it acts as Authorized Representative.

SECTION 4.2 Delivery of Copies to Authorized Representatives. The Issuer will deliver to each Authorized Representative a copy of each Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4.1(b), together with copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent with such Officers’ Certificate. The Authorized Representatives will not be obligated to take notice thereof or to act thereon, subject to Section 4.1(d).

SECTION 4.3 Collateral Agent not Required to Serve, File or Record. The Collateral Agent is not required to serve, file, register or record any instrument releasing or subordinating its Liens on any Collateral; provided, however, that if the Issuer or any other Grantor shall make a written demand for a termination statement under Section 9-513(c) of the UCC, the Collateral Agent shall comply with the written request of such Issuer or Grantor to comply with the requirements of such UCC provision; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent must first confirm with the Authorized Representatives that the requirements of such UCC provisions have been satisfied.

SECTION 4.4 Release of Liens in Respect of any Series of Parity Lien Debt.

(a) Release of Liens in Respect of the Notes. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, the Collateral Agent’s Liens will no longer secure the Notes outstanding under the Indenture or any other Obligations under the Indenture, and the right of the holders of the Notes and such Obligations to the benefits and proceeds of the Collateral Agent’s Lien on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged:

(1) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as set forth under Article 8 of the Indenture;

(2) upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance (each as defined under the Indenture) of the Notes as set forth under Article 8 of the Indenture;

(4) in whole or in part, with the consent of the holders of the requisite percentage of Notes in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Indenture.

(b) Release of Liens in Respect of any Series of Parity Lien Debt other than the Notes. In addition to any release pursuant to Section 4.1 hereof, as to any Series of Parity Lien Debt other than the Notes, the Collateral Agent’s Lien will no longer secure such Series of Parity Lien Debt if the requirements of a Discharge of Parity Lien Obligations are satisfied with respect to such Series of Parity Lien Debt and all Parity Lien Obligations related thereto that are outstanding and unpaid at the time such Series of Parity Lien Debt is paid are also paid in full in cash (other than any obligations for taxes, costs, indemnifications, reimbursements, damages and other liabilities in respect of which no claim or demand for payment has been made at such time) and the Collateral Agent receives an Officers’ Certificate to that effect.

ARTICLE 5.

IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 5.1 No Implied Duty. The Collateral Agent will not have any fiduciary duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement and the other Security Documents. The Collateral Agent will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Security Documents.

SECTION 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Agent may execute any of the 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 Agent has accepted its appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and is bound by the Security Documents executed by the Collateral Agent as of the date of this Agreement and, as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties or otherwise provided in the Indenture or this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall execute additional Security Documents delivered to it after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such additional Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the

Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent 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 Security Documents to which it is a party).

SECTION 5.4 Solicitation of Instructions.

(a) The Collateral Agent may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, in the form of an Act of Required Secured Parties, an Officers’ Certificate 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 Security Documents and may refrain from taking action until such instruction or court order are received by it.

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

SECTION 5.5 Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Agent will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Security Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.6 Documents in Satisfactory Form. The Collateral Agent 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, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it.

SECTION 5.7 Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Agent may seek and conclusively 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 the Issuer or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Authorized Representative as to the Secured Parties 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 Agent may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it 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 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 Agent in respect of any matter, the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on such 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 Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.

SECTION 5.8 Parity Lien Debt Default. The Collateral Agent 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 Required Secured Parties.

As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Agent will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties 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 Secured Parties.

SECTION 5.10 Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent 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 Agent. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other 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 Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Agent and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Agent is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Agent is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other 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 a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Agent in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Agent 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; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent will execute, file or record, UCC-3 continuation statements and other documents and instruments to preserve, protect or perfect the security interests granted to the Collateral Agent (subject to the priorities set forth herein) if it shall receive a specific written request to execute, file or record the particular continuation statement or other specific document or instrument by any Authorized Representative. The Collateral Agent shall deliver to each other Authorized Representative a copy of any such written request. The Collateral Agent 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 Agent 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 selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(b) Except as provided in paragraph 5.12(a), the Collateral Agent 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, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor 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 Agent 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.

SECTION 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1) each of the parties thereto will remain liable under each of the 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;

(2) the exercise by the Collateral Agent 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 Security Documents; and

(3) the Collateral Agent will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties to the Security Documents other than the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.14 No Liability for Clean Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Agent 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 Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Agent 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 Agent’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 Parallel Debt.

(a) Subject to the Guarantee Limitations, notwithstanding any other provision of any other Security Document, each Note Obligor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes (where applicable, by way of an abstract acknowledgement of debt (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis)) to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to any amounts due in respect of all Parity Lien Obligations of such Note Obligor under the Notes (including Additional Notes), the Indenture and any other Security Document, other than its Parallel Debts (as defined below) (the “Corresponding Debt”) as they may exist from time to time. The payment undertakings of each Note Obligor under this Section 5.15 (Parallel Debt) are each to be referred to as a “Parallel Debt”. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Collateral Agent’s role is purely administrative and subject to the provisions of the Parity Lien Document to which it is a party.

(b) Each Note Obligor and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that (i) each Parallel Debt constitutes an undertaking, obligation and liability to the Collateral Agent which is separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the Corresponding Debt of the relevant Note Obligor and shall not in any way limit or affect, the Corresponding Debt of that Note Obligor to any Secured Party under the Indenture or any Security Document(ii) each Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim to receive payment of the Parallel Debt from the relevant Note Obligor, it being understood, in each case, that: (i) the Parallel Debt of each Note Obligor shall be decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee

obligations) discharged; and (ii) the Corresponding Debt of each Note Obligor shall be decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably paid or (in the case of guarantee obligations) discharged; and (iii) the amounts which may be payable by each Note Obligor as Parallel Debt shall at all times be equal to the amount of its Corresponding Debt and (iv) the amounts which may be payable by each Note Obligor as Parallel Debt at any time shall never exceed the total of the amounts which are payable under or in connection with the Corresponding Debt at that time.

(c) For the purpose of this Section 5.15, the Collateral Agent will act in its own name, as Collateral Agent hereunder, referencing such capacity as applicable, and its claims in respect of the Parallel Debts shall not be held by it as trustee. The Liens granted under the Security Documents to the Collateral Agent to secure the Parallel Debts are granted to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debts and shall not be held in trust.

(d) All moneys received or recovered by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.15, and all amounts received or recovered by the Collateral Agent from or by the enforcement of any Liens granted to secure the Parallel Debts, shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.

(e) Without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights against the Note Obligors (whether under this Section 5.15 or under any other provision of the Security Documents), each Note Obligor acknowledges that nothing in this Section 5.15 shall impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent to advance any sum to any Note Obligor or otherwise under any Security Document.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parallel Debt will become due and payable (opeisbaar) at the same time the Corresponding Debt becomes due and payable. An event of default in respect of the Corresponding Debt shall constitute a default (verzuim) within the meaning of section 3:248 of the Netherlands Civil Code with respect to the Parallel Debts without any notice being required.

(g) The obligations of each Note Obligor under this Section shall be subject to, and limited to the extent set out in, the Guarantee Limitations mutatis mutandis (if any) applicable to such Note Obligor.

(h) For the purpose of any Security Document governed by German law, each party to this Agreement agrees that the Collateral Agent shall together with the other Secured Parties be the joint and several creditors (Gesamtgläubiger) of each and every obligation of the relevant Note Obligor under the relevant Security Document governed by German law, and that accordingly the Collateral Agent will have its own and independent right to demand performance by the relevant Note Obligor of its obligations (Gesamtgläubigerschaft) in full.

(i) For the purpose of any Security Document governed by Swiss law (the “Swiss Security Documents”):

(1) the Collateral Agent holds:

(A) any Lien created or evidenced or expressed to be created or evidenced under or pursuant to a Swiss Security Document by way of a security assignment (Sicherungsabtretung) or transfer for security purposes (Sicherungsübereignung) or any other non-accessory (nicht akzessorische) security;

(B) the benefit of this Section 5.15; and

as indirect representative (indirekter Stellvertreter) in its own name, but for the account of all relevant Secured Parties which have the benefit of such security in accordance with this Agreement and the respective Swiss Security Document;

(2) each present and future Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent:

(A) to (a) accept and execute as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any Swiss law pledge or any other Swiss law accessory (akzessorische) security created or evidenced or expressed to be created or evidenced under or pursuant to a Swiss Security Document for the benefit of such Secured Party and (a) hold, administer and, if necessary, enforce any such Lien on behalf of each relevant Secured Party which has the benefit of such Security;

(B) to agree as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) to amendments and alterations to any Swiss Security Document which creates or evidences or expressed to create or evidence a pledge or any other Swiss law accessory (akzessorische) Lien;

(C) to effect as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) any release of a Security created or evidenced or expressed to be created or evidenced under a Swiss Security Document in accordance with this Agreement; and

(D) to exercise as its direct representative (direkter Stellvertreter) such other rights granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder or under the relevant Swiss Security Document;

(3) each present and future Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, when acting in its capacity as creditor of the Parallel Debt, to hold:

(A) any Swiss law pledge or any other Swiss law accessory (akzessorische) Lien;

(B) any proceeds of such Lien; and

as creditor in its own right but for the benefit of such Secured Parties in accordance with this Agreement.

(j) This Section 5.15 (i) is included in this Agreement solely for the purpose of ensuring the validity and effect of certain security rights governed by the laws of France, Germany, Netherlands and/or Switzerland, granted pursuant to the applicable Security Documents and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, shall not limit the rights and remedies provided to the Secured Parties by the other provisions hereof and of the other Parity Lien Documents. Moreover, notwithstanding any provisions of any Parity Lien Document or any present or future law to the contrary, the Collateral Agent has no rights and responsibilities under this Agreement or any Parity Lien Document other than in its capacity as Collateral Agent, as expressly provided herein or in such Parity Lien Document.

ARTICLE 6.

RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 6.1 Resignation or Removal of Collateral Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent as provided in Section 6.2 and the acceptance of such appointment by the successor Collateral Agent:

(a) the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ notice of resignation to each Authorized Representative and the Issuer; and

(b) the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by an Act of Required Secured Parties.

SECTION 6.2 Appointment of Successor Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Agent may be appointed by an Act of Required Secured Parties. If no successor Collateral Agent has been so appointed and accepted such appointment within 60 days after the predecessor Collateral Agent gave notice of resignation or was removed, the retiring Collateral Agent may (at the expense of the Issuer), at its option, appoint a successor Collateral Agent, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, which must be a bank or trust company:

(1) duly authorized to perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents;

(2) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000;

(3) maintaining an office in New York, New York; and

(4) that is not the Issuer or an Affiliate of the Issuer.

The Collateral Agent will fulfill its obligations hereunder until a successor Collateral Agent meeting the requirements of this Section 6.2 has accepted its appointment as Collateral Agent and the provisions of Section 6.3 have been satisfied.

SECTION 6.3 Succession. When the Person so appointed as successor Collateral Agent accepts such appointment:

(1) such Person will succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the predecessor Collateral Agent (including the benefit of the Parallel Debt), and the predecessor Collateral Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; and

(2) (2) the predecessor Collateral Agent will (at the expense of the Issuer) promptly transfer all Liens, collateral security, its rights and obligations under the Parallel Debts and other property of the Trust Estates within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and will execute instruments and assignments as may be necessary or desirable or reasonably requested by the successor Collateral Agent to transfer to the successor Collateral Agent all Liens, interests, rights, powers and remedies, including the rights and obligations under the Parallel Debts of the predecessor Collateral Agent in respect of the Security Documents or the Trust Estates.

Thereafter the predecessor Collateral Agent will remain entitled to enforce the immunities granted to it in Article 5 and the provisions of Sections 7.9 and 7.10.

For the purposes of any Security Documents governed by French law, the predecessor Collateral Agent expressly reserves and maintains its rights under this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt, the benefit of the Parallel Debts), the Indenture and the Notes in accordance with the provisions of article 1278 of the French Code civil so that any Lien created under any Security Document governed by French law and the obligations of each Grantor incorporated in France under the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Notes (including any Additional Notes) will continue in full force for the benefit of the successor Collateral Agent following the succession and appointment of the successor Collateral Agent in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3 and/or any transfer of rights in accordance with this Agreement (whether by way of novation or not). Any novation under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 is a novation (novation) within the meaning of articles 1271 et seq. of the French Code civil.

SECTION 6.4 Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Collateral Agent. Any Person into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Collateral Agent shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 6.3; provided, that (i) without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, such Person satisfies the eligibility requirements specified in clauses (1) through (4) of Section 6.2 and (ii) prior to any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Issuer and each Authorized Representative thereof in writing.

ARTICLE 7.

(A) to vote its outstanding Parity Lien Debt as to any matter described as subject to an Act of Required Secured Parties (or amends the provisions of this Section 7.1(a) (2) or the definitions of “Act of Required Secured Parties” or “Controlling Representative”);

(B) to share in the order of application described in Section 3.4 in the proceeds of enforcement of or realization on any Collateral that has not been released in accordance with the provisions described in Section 4.1 or 4.4;

(C) to require that Liens securing Parity Lien Obligations be released only as set forth in the provisions described in Section 4.1 or 4.4; or

(D) under this Section 7.1,

will become effective without the consent of the requisite percentage or number of holders of each Series of Parity Lien Debt so affected under the applicable Parity Lien Documents;

(3) no amendment or supplement that imposes any obligation upon the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative or adversely affects the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative, respectively, in its capacity as such will become effective without the consent of the Collateral Agent or such Authorized Representative, respectively; and

(4) if the Issuer or any Grantor incurs any Indebtedness secured by a second or junior Lien and such Indebtedness shall otherwise be permitted by each Parity Lien Document, then this Agreement may be amended, without the approval of the Collateral Agent acting as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties, to provide for a second or subordinated Lien on the Collateral and the related intercreditor requirements in connection therewith; provided that such amendment provides for customary market terms for such second or subordinated Lien (as determined in good faith by the Issuer).

(b) The Collateral Agent will not enter into any amendment or supplement described in this Section 7.1 unless it has received an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in a breach of any provision or covenant contained in any of the Parity Lien Documents. Prior to executing any amendment or supplement pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Collateral Agent will be entitled to receive an opinion of counsel of the Issuer to the effect that the execution of such document is authorized or permitted hereunder.

SECTION 7.2 Voting. In connection with any matter under this Agreement requiring a vote of holders of Parity Lien Debt, each Series of Parity Lien Debt will cast its votes in accordance with the Parity Lien Documents governing such Series of Parity Lien Debt. The amount of Parity Lien Debt to be voted by a Series of Parity Lien Debt will equal (1) the aggregate principal amount of Parity Lien Debt held by such Series of Parity Lien Debt (including outstanding letters of credit whether or not then available or drawn), plus (2) other than in connection with an exercise of remedies, the aggregate unfunded commitments (if any) to extend credit which, when funded, would constitute Indebtedness of such Series of Parity Lien Debt. Following and in accordance with the outcome of the applicable vote under its Parity Lien Documents, the Authorized Representative of each Series of Parity Lien Debt will cast all of its votes under that Series of Parity Lien Debt as a block in respect of any vote under this Agreement.

(4) perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and priority of the security interest in the Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the Collateral.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.2, the Collateral Agent may not, in its capacity as such, delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void. All obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder will inure to the sole and exclusive benefit of, and be enforceable by, (i) the Issuer and the other Grantors, (ii) each Authorized Representative, (iii) each present and future holder of Parity Lien Obligations (each of whom will be entitled to enforce this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary hereof), and (iv) all of respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing.

(b) Neither the Issuer nor any other Grantor may delegate any of its duties or assign any of its rights hereunder, and any attempted delegation or assignment of any such duties or rights will be null and void.

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 Security Documents will impair any such right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy will preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(b) All amounts due under this Section 7.10 will be payable upon demand.

(c) To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Section 7.10(a) may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they violate any law or public policy, each of the Grantors will contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(d) No Grantor will ever assert any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any lost profits or special, indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent a claim for punitive damages may lawfully be waived) any punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any other Parity Lien Document or any agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating in any respect to any Indemnified Liability, and each of the Grantors hereby forever waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such lost profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful) punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(e) The agreements in this Section 7.10 will survive repayment of all other Parity Lien Obligations, the termination or assignment of this Agreement, the invalidity or unenforceability of any terms or provisions of this Agreement and the removal or resignation of the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.11 Limitations Applicable to French Grantors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) any expenses or indemnities to be paid by any Grantor incorporated under the laws of France (“French Grantor”) under this Agreement shall be limited to the expenses or indemnities incidental to the performance of its obligations and the obligations of its subsidiaries under this Agreement and (ii) any representations and warranties made by any French Grantor shall be strictly limited to matters related to such French Grantor and its subsidiaries.

SECTION 7.12 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7.13 Section Headings. The section headings and Table of Contents used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

SECTION 7.14 Obligations Secured. All obligations of the Grantors set forth in or arising under this Agreement will be Parity Lien Obligations and are secured by all Liens granted by the Security Documents.

SECTION 7.15 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

SECTION 7.16 Consent to Jurisdiction. All judicial proceedings brought against any party hereto arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State, County and City of New York. By executing and delivering this Agreement, each Grantor, for itself and in connection with its properties, irrevocably:

(1) accepts generally and unconditionally the nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts;

(2) waives any defense of forum non conveniens;

(3) agrees that service of all process in any such proceeding in any such court may be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to such party at its address provided in accordance with Section 7.6;

(4) agrees that service as provided in clause (3) above is sufficient to confer personal jurisdiction over such party in any such proceeding in any such court and otherwise constitutes effective and binding service in every respect; and

(5) agrees that each party hereto retains the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring proceedings against any party in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 7.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SECURITY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY, COMMON LAW, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 7.18 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic imaging means), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 7.19 Grantors and Additional Grantors. The Issuer represents and warrants that each Person who is a Grantor on the date hereof has duly executed this Agreement. The Issuer will cause each Person that hereafter becomes a Grantor or is required by any Parity Lien Document to become a party to this Agreement to become a party to this Agreement, for all purposes of this Agreement, no later than the date on which such Person provides a Lien over Collateral pursuant to Article 11 of the Indenture, by causing such Person to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Intercreditor Joinder, whereupon such Person will be bound by the terms hereof to the same extent as if it had executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date hereof. The Issuer shall promptly provide each Authorized Representative with a copy of each Intercreditor Joinder executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.19; provided, however, that the failure to so deliver a copy of the Intercreditor Joinder to any then existing Authorized Representative shall not affect the inclusion of such Person as a Grantor if the other requirements of this Section 7.19 are complied with.

SECTION 7.20 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement will be reinstated if at any time any payment or distribution in respect of any of the Parity Lien Obligations is rescinded or

must otherwise be returned in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise by any Secured Party or Authorized Representative or any representative of any such party (whether by demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise). In the event that all or any part of a payment or distribution made with respect to the Parity Lien Obligations is recovered from any Secured Party or any Authorized Representative in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, such payment or distribution received by any Secured Party or Authorized Representative with respect to the Parity Lien Obligations from the proceeds of any Collateral or any title insurance policy required by any real property mortgage at any time after the date of the payment or distribution that is so recovered, whether pursuant to a right of subrogation or otherwise, that Authorized Representative or that Secured Party, as the case may be, will forthwith deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, for the account of the Secured Parties to be applied in accordance with Section 3.4.

SECTION 7.21 Insolvency. This Agreement will be applicable both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding by or against any Grantor. The relative rights, as provided for in this Agreement, will continue after the commencement of any such Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding on the same basis as prior to the date of the commencement of any such case, as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.22 Rights and Immunities of Authorized Representatives. The Trustee will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the Indenture and any future Authorized Representative will be entitled to all of the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities set forth in the credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing the applicable Parity Lien Debt with respect to which such Person will act as representative, in each case as if specifically set forth herein. In no event will any Authorized Representative be liable for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

SECTION 7.23 Intercreditor Agreements. Each Authorized Representative party hereto, by accepting the benefits hereof, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties it represents, (i) agrees (or is deemed to agree) that it will be bound by, and will take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements and (ii) authorizes (or is deemed to authorize) the Collateral Agent on behalf of such Person to enter into, and perform under, the Intercreditor Agreements.

SECTION 7.24 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION 7.25 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Collateral Agent, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Agent.

Patriot Act.
