(a) the execution, delivery and performance by such Creditor of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar proceedings and do not and will not contravene any provision of law, its charter or by-laws or any amendment thereof, or of any indenture, agreement, instrument or undertaking binding upon such Creditor; and

(b) the execution, delivery and performance by such Creditor of this Agreement will result in a valid and legally binding obligation of such Creditor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 2.6 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each Creditor agrees that it will not (and hereby waives any right to) at any time institute, encourage or join in as a party in the institution of, or assist in the prosecution of, any action, suit or proceeding (including any Bankruptcy Proceeding) (a) contesting or challenging the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of any Senior Secured Obligation, any Security Document, any Guaranty Agreement, or any Lien held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and the Noteholders to secure the Senior Secured Obligations, or otherwise seeking a determination that any such Senior Secured Obligations or Liens securing such Senior Secured Obligations are invalid, unperfected or avoidable or are or should be subordinated to the interests of any Person, (b) contesting or challenging any collection, enforcement, disposition or acceptance of, or other remedial action with respect to, the Collateral by the Collateral Agent to the extent related to satisfying Senior Secured Obligations and permitted by this Agreement, or (c) contesting or challenging the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

Each Creditor expressly acknowledges that except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Collateral Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, co-trustees, separate trustees or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Debtor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent to any Creditor.

Each Creditor also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Collateral Agent or any other Creditor, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Security Documents and this Agreement and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Creditors by the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the Creditors with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Loan Parties which may come into the possession of the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact co-trustees, separate trustees or Affiliates.

Section 4.6 INDEMNIFICATION. EACH CREDITOR SHALL SEVERALLY INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT-RELATED PERSON (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER AND WITHOUT LIMITING THE OBLIGATION OF ANY LOAN PARTY TO DO SO), RATABLY ACCORDING TO ITS RESPECTIVE SHARE, IF ANY, AS OF THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH ALLEGED ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS AS DESCRIBED BELOW IN THIS SECTION 4.6 OCCUR OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE OCCURRED, OF THE SUM OF (A) THE LENDER EXPOSURE AND (B) THE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE SENIOR NOTES, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY AT ANY TIME (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, AT ANY TIME FOLLOWING AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR THE PAYMENT OF THE SENIOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS) BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON ARISING OUT OF ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED OR PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR BY THE EXERCISE OF REMEDIES PURSUANT TO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS OF THE MAJORITY CREDITORS OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER SECTION 5.3 HEREOF, THE REQUIRED CREDITORS PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.3 HEREOF (INCLUDING WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART,

OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON); PROVIDED THAT NO CREDITOR SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING SOLELY FROM ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. THE AGREEMENTS IN THIS SECTION 4.6 SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE SENIOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS.

Section 4.7 Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity. PNC Bank, National Association and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties and their Affiliates as though such Person was not the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Section 4.8 Successor Collateral Agent.

(a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time upon 60 days’ written notice to the Creditors and the Borrower, and may be removed, with or without cause, by the Majority Creditors, by written notice to the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Creditors. After any resignation or removal hereunder of the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 4 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as the Collateral Agent hereunder while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement.

(b) Upon receiving written notice of any such resignation or removal, a successor Collateral Agent shall be appointed by the Majority Creditors; provided, however, that such successor Collateral Agent shall be (1) a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by a Federal or state lending authority and (2) authorized under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization to assume the functions of the Collateral Agent, and provided that such successor shall not be a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Person (each as defined in the Domestic Credit Agreement). If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been appointed pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) within such 60 day period after the Collateral Agent’s resignation or upon removal of the Collateral Agent, then any Creditor or the Collateral Agent (unless the Collateral Agent is being removed) may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Such court shall, after such notice as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications specified in this Section 4.8(b). The Creditors hereby consent to such petition and appointment so long as such criteria are met. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been appointed by the Majority Creditors pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) within 60 days after the Collateral Agent’s resignation or upon removal of the Collateral Agent, then the Collateral Agent may designate a successor Collateral Agent which meets the requirements set forth above, and the resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective. Such successor Collateral Agent shall serve until a successor Collateral Agent has

been appointed by the Majority Creditors or a court of competent jurisdiction and has accepted such appointment. The appointment of a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.8(b) shall become effective upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent. Upon such effective appointment, the successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent.

(c) The resignation or removal of a Collateral Agent shall take effect on the date when a successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed pursuant to Section 4.8(b) hereof and shall have accepted such appointment.

(d) Upon the effective appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, the successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the predecessor Collateral Agent hereby appoints the successor Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such predecessor Collateral Agent to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest. Such appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to act as Collateral Agent hereunder and all Collateral, power, trusts, duties, documents, rights and authority of the previous Collateral Agent shall rest in the successor, without any further deed or conveyance. The predecessor Collateral Agent shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Majority Creditors or successor Collateral Agent, execute and deliver any other such instrument transferring to such successor Collateral Agent all the Collateral, properties, rights, power, trust, duties, authority and title of such predecessor. The Loan Parties, to the extent requested by the Majority Creditors or the Collateral Agent shall procure any and all documents, conveyances or instruments and execute same, to the extent required, in order to reflect the transfer to the successor Collateral Agent.

Section 4.9 Determination of Amounts of Senior Secured Obligations. Whenever the Collateral Agent is required to determine the existence or amount of any of the Senior Secured Obligations or any portion thereof, it shall be entitled, absent manifest error, to make such determination on the basis of one or more certificates of the Creditor holding such Senior Secured Obligations (or of an authorized agent of the same); provided, however, that if, notwithstanding the written request of the Collateral Agent, any Creditor shall fail or refuse within ten (10) Business Days of such written request to certify as to the existence or amount of any Senior Secured Obligations or any portion thereof owed to it, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to determine such existence or amount by such method as the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower; provided, further, that, promptly following determination of any such amount, the Collateral Agent shall notify such Creditor, in writing, of such determination and thereafter shall correct any error that such Creditor brings to the attention of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Subsidiary, any Creditor or any other person as a result of any action taken by the Collateral Agent based upon such determination prior to receipt of notice of any error in such determination.

SECTION 5. Actions by the Collateral Agent.

Section 5.1 Duties and Obligations. The duties and obligations of the Collateral Agent are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the Security Documents.

Section 5.2 Notification of Event of Default or Acceleration. If the Collateral Agent has been notified in writing as provided in Section 4.4 that an Event of Default has occurred or that any of the Senior Secured Obligations have been accelerated, the Collateral Agent shall notify the Creditors and may notify the Borrower of such determination. Any Creditor that has actual knowledge of an Event of Default or that any of the Senior Secured Obligations have been accelerated, or facts which indicate that an Event of Default has occurred or that any of the Senior Secured Obligations have been accelerated, shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a written statement to such effect. Failure to do so, however, does not constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default by any Creditor or create a cause of action against such Creditor. Upon receipt of a notice described herein or in Section 4.4 from a Creditor of the occurrence of an Event of Default or that any of the Senior Secured Obligations have been accelerated, the Collateral Agent shall promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice in the manner provided in Section 7.9 hereof) issue its “Notice of Default” to all Creditors. The Notice of Default may contain a recommendation of actions by the Creditors and/or request instructions from the Creditors as to specific matters and shall specify the date on which responses are due in order to be timely within Section 5.4 hereof.

Section 5.3 Actions of Collateral Agent; Exercise of Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, then (a) upon the request of the Majority Creditors, or (b) upon the request of the Required Creditors so long as each Creditor has received notice of the taking of such action at least five (5) Business Days prior to the time such action is taken, the Collateral Agent shall promptly initiate and prosecute proceedings to foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Collateral, the proceeds of which shall be distributed as provided herein. Except as described in the preceding sentence and for actions taken pursuant to Section 5.8, the Collateral Agent shall take only such actions and exercise only such remedies under the Security Documents as are approved in a written notice delivered to the Collateral Agent and signed by the Majority Creditors. The Creditors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide instructions to the Collateral Agent in a prompt manner.

Section 5.4 [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 5.5 Protective Advances. If the Collateral Agent has asked the Creditors for instruction to make a payment with regard to an Event of Default which the Collateral Agent, in good faith, believes to be required to maintain and protect the Collateral and if the Majority Creditors have not yet responded to such request before the time the Collateral Agent reasonably believes such payment should be made, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to make such payment, but shall not be required to make such payment and shall in no event have any liability for failure to make such payment.

Section 5.6 Changes to Security Documents. Any term of the Security Documents may be amended, and the performance or observance by the parties to a Security Document of any term of such Security Document may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance

and either retroactively or prospectively) by the Collateral Agent only upon the written consent of the Majority Creditors; provided that no amendment to the Security Documents which changes the obligations being secured thereby, releases all or substantially all of the Collateral, changes any payment (whether by altering the amount, priority, timing or other thereof) to any Creditor shall be effective without the written consent of the Majority Creditors, and that no such amendment which materially and adversely affects the rights of any Creditor relative to the rights of the other Creditors may be made without the written consent of all of the Creditors.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may, without the consent of the Majority Creditors, amend the Security Documents (a) to add property hereafter acquired by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Debtor intended to be subjected to the Security Documents or to correct or amplify the description of any property subject to the Security Documents and (b) to cure any ambiguity or cure, correct or supplement any defective provisions of the Security Documents (so long as the same shall in no respect be adverse to the interest of any Creditor).

Section 5.7 Release of Collateral. The Collateral Agent may, without the approval of the Majority Creditors as required by Section 5.6 hereof, release any Collateral under the Security Documents which is expressly permitted to be sold or disposed of by the Borrower and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Guarantors, pursuant to all Senior Secured Documents and execute and deliver such releases as may be necessary to terminate of record the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Collateral. In determining whether any such release is permitted, the Collateral Agent in its discretion shall rely upon instructions from the Required Lenders in respect of the Bank Loan Documents and the Required Holders in respect of the Note Agreement.

Section 5.8 Other Actions. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to take such actions, or omit to take such actions, hereunder and under the Security Documents not inconsistent with the written instructions of the Majority Creditors or the Required Creditors delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 hereof or the terms of this Agreement as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens on the Collateral, or protect the Collateral, for the benefit of the Creditors. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon, nor as to the preservation of rights against prior parties, nor as to the preservation of rights pertaining to the Collateral beyond the safe custody of any Collateral in the Collateral Agent’s actual possession.

Section 5.9 Cooperation. To the extent that the exercise of the rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement requires that any action be taken by any Creditor, such Creditor shall take such action and otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Collateral Agent (at the sole cost of the Loan Parties) to ensure that the rights, powers and remedies of all Creditors are exercised in full.

Section 5.10 Distribution of Proceeds. All amounts owing with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations shall be secured pro rata by the Collateral without distinction as to whether some Senior Secured Obligations are then due and payable and other Senior Secured Obligations are not then due and payable. Upon the occurrence of and following a Liquidity Event with

respect to any amounts received by the Collateral Agent from any Creditor under Section 5.11 hereof, or upon any realization upon the Collateral and/or the receipt of any payments under any Security Document, enforcement of any Guaranty Agreement or exercise of any right of setoff or recoupment by any Creditor, the Creditors agree that the proceeds thereof shall be applied as follows: (a) first, to the amounts owing to the Collateral Agent (solely in its capacity as such) by the Loan Parties or the Creditors pursuant to this Agreement or the Security Documents, including, without limitation, payment of expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent with respect to maintenance and protection of the Collateral and of expenses incurred with respect to the sale of or realization upon any of the Collateral or the perfection, enforcement or protection of the rights of the Creditors (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of every kind); (b) second, to the payment of all unreimbursed amounts paid by the Creditors to each Agent-Related Person pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof, pro rata in proportion to the respective unreimbursed amounts thereof paid by each such Creditor; (c) third, equally and ratably to the payment of all amounts of accrued interest outstanding which constitute the Senior Secured Obligations according to the aggregate amounts of such interest then owing to each Creditor; (d) fourth, equally and ratably to all other amounts then due to the Creditors under the Bank Credit Agreements and the Note Agreement, including without limitation, principal, L/C Exposure outstanding with respect to the Senior Secured Obligations, Other Lender Provided Financial Service Product Obligations, Lender Provided Interest Rate Hedge Obligations, Lender Provided Foreign Currency Hedge Obligations, breakage costs, Make-Whole Amounts, letter of credit fees, commitment fees and fees and expenses not theretofore paid above according to the aggregate amounts of the foregoing then owing to each Creditor; provided that such equal and ratable distribution shall be undertaken in a manner which does not apply Collateral of any Guarantor to “Excluded Hedge Liabilities” (as defined in the Domestic Credit Agreement) or “Excluded Swap Obligations” (as defined in the Mexican Credit Agreement); and (e) fifth, the balance, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower, the applicable Guarantor, or such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

Any payment required to be made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.10 with respect to the outstanding amount of any undrawn Letters of Credit shall be held by the Collateral Agent on deposit in an account (the “Letters of Credit Collateral Account”) to be held as collateral for the Senior Secured Obligations and disposed of as provided herein. On each date on which a payment is made to a beneficiary pursuant to a draw on a Letter of Credit, the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Letters of Credit Collateral Account for application to the payment of the reimbursement obligation due to the Lenders with respect to such draw an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount then on deposit in the Letters of Credit Collateral Account, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such draw and the denominator of which is the outstanding amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit immediately prior to such draw. On each date on which a reduction in the outstanding amount of undrawn Letters of Credit occurs other than on account of a payment made to a beneficiary pursuant to a draw on a Letter of Credit, then the Collateral Agent shall distribute from the Letters of Credit Collateral Account an amount equal to the product of (1) the amount then on deposit in the Letters of Credit Collateral Account, and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of such reduction in the outstanding amount of undrawn Letters of Credit and the denominator of which is the outstanding amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit immediately prior to such reduction, which amount shall be distributed as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 5.10. At such time as the outstanding amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit is reduced

to zero, any amount remaining in the Letters of Credit Collateral Account, after the distribution therefrom as provided above, shall be distributed as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 5.10.

Section 5.11 Senior Preferential Payments and Special Collateral Account.

(a) The Collateral Agent shall give each Creditor a written notice (a “Notice of Special Default”) promptly, but no later than, ten (10) Business Days after being notified in writing by a Creditor that a Liquidity Event has occurred.

(b) Each Creditor agrees that upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event it shall (1) promptly notify the Collateral Agent of the receipt of any Senior Preferential Payments, (2) hold such amounts in trust for the Creditors and act as agent of the Creditors during the time any such amounts are held by it and (3) deliver to the Collateral Agent such amounts for deposit into the Special Collateral Account.

(c) If (i) a Liquidity Event shall have occurred and shall be continuing, or (ii) the Majority Creditors or, pursuant to Section 5.3, the Required Creditors have instructed the Collateral Agent to foreclose on the Collateral, seek the appointment of a receiver, commence litigation against any Borrower or any Guarantor, liquidate or seize the Collateral, or exercise other remedies of similar character, then all funds, together with interest earned thereon, held in the Special Collateral Account and all subsequent Senior Preferential Payments shall be applied promptly in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 above.

Section 5.12 Authorized Investments. Any and all funds held by the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent, whether pursuant to any provision of any of the Security Documents or otherwise, may to the extent feasible within a reasonable time be invested by the Collateral Agent in Cash Equivalent Investments. Any interest earned on such funds shall be disbursed to the Creditors in accordance with Section 5.10 or Section 5.11, as applicable. The Collateral Agent may hold any such funds in a common interest bearing account. To the extent that the interest rate payable with respect to any such account varies over time, the Collateral Agent may use an average interest rate in making the interest allocations among the respective Creditors. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to place funds held pursuant to this Section 5.12 in investments which provide a maximum return; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may to the extent feasible invest funds in Cash Equivalent Investments with reasonable promptness. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for any loss of any funds invested in accordance with this Section 5.12.

Section 5.13 Restoration of Obligations. For the purposes of determining the amount of outstanding Senior Secured Obligations, if any Creditor is required to deposit any Senior Preferential Payment in the Special Collateral Account, then the obligations intended to be satisfied by such Senior Preferential Payment shall be revived, as of the date of the deposit of such amount with the Collateral Agent, in the amount of such Senior Preferential Payment and such obligation shall continue in full force and effect (and bear interest from such deposit date at the rate provided in the underlying document) as if such Creditor had not received such payment. All such revived obligations shall be included as Senior Secured Obligations for purposes of

allocating any payments under Section 5.10 and for applying the definition of Required Lenders, Required Holders, Required Creditors and Majority Creditors. If any such revived obligation shall not be allowed as a claim under the Bankruptcy Code due to the fact that the Senior Preferential Payment has in fact been made by the Borrower, the Creditors shall make such other equitable arrangements for the purchase and sale of participations in the Senior Secured Obligations and shall execute and deliver such agreements as are necessary to evidence such arrangements, in each case in order to effectuate the intent of this Section 5.13.

Section 5.14 Bankruptcy Preferences. If any payment on account of a Senior Secured Obligation to a Creditor is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or set aside and is required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, and such Creditor has previously made a deposit in respect of such payment into the Special Collateral Account pursuant to Section 5.11, then the Collateral Agent shall distribute to such Creditor proceeds from the Special Collateral Account in an amount equal to such deposit or so much thereof as is affected by such events together with any interest earned thereon (which amount of interest shall not exceed the amount of interest, if any, such Creditor is then required to repay) and if, due to previous disbursements to the Creditors pursuant to Section 5.11(c), the proceeds in the Special Collateral Account are insufficient for such purpose, then each other Creditor shall pay to such Creditor upon demand an amount equal to a ratable portion of such disbursements of the deposit and interest thereon which was distributed to each such Creditor according to the aggregate amounts so distributed to each such Creditor.

SECTION 6. Bankruptcy Proceedings.

The following provisions shall apply during any Bankruptcy Proceeding of the Borrower or any Guarantor:

(a) The Collateral Agent shall represent all Creditors in connection with all matters directly relating solely to the Collateral, including, without limitation, use, sale or lease of Collateral, use of cash collateral, relief from the automatic stay and adequate protection. The Collateral Agent shall act solely on the instructions of the Majority Creditors; provided that no such vote by the Majority Creditors shall treat the Lenders and the Noteholders differently with respect to rights in the Collateral.

(b) Each Creditor shall be free to act independently on any issue not directly relating solely to the Collateral.

(c) Any proceeds of the Collateral received by any Creditor as a result of, or during, any Bankruptcy Proceeding will be delivered promptly to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 5.10.

Nothing herein shall be interpreted to preclude any Creditor from filing a proof of claim with respect to its Senior Secured Obligations or from casting its vote, or abstaining from voting, for or against confirmation of a plan of reorganization in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Majority Creditors have not agreed upon the directions to be given to the Collateral Agent in connection with a particular issue in a

Bankruptcy Proceeding, each Creditor (if such Creditor has reasonably determined that the Majority Creditors have not agreed upon the directions to be given to the Collateral Agent in connection with a particular issue, and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to determine if the Majority Creditors have not agreed on a particular issue) shall have the independent right to initiate an action or actions in such Bankruptcy Proceeding in its individual capacity and to appear and be heard on such issue before the bankruptcy or other applicable court in such Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to such disputed issue, and such disputed issue may include, without limitation, issues with respect to any question concerning relief from the automatic stay, the post-petition usage of Collateral and post-petition financing arrangements.

SECTION 7. Miscellaneous.

Section 7.1 Creditors; Other Collateral. The Creditors agree that all of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any and all assets and rights of the Loan Parties in which the Collateral Agent or any Creditor at any time acquires a security interest or Lien pursuant to the Security Documents, the Bank Loan Documents or the Senior Note Documents as security for the Senior Secured Obligations, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any document purporting to grant or perfect any Lien in favor of the Creditors or any of them or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Creditors as security for the Senior Secured Obligations. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, novation or other modification of any other credit document related to the Senior Secured Obligations.

Section 7.2 Marshalling. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future security for (including, without limitation, the Collateral), or guaranties of (including, without limitation, the Guaranty Agreements), the Senior Secured Obligations or any of them, or to resort to such security or guaranties in any particular order; and all of each of such Person’s rights in respect of such security and guaranties shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that they lawfully may, the Creditors hereby agree that they will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Creditors’ rights under the Security Documents or under any other instrument evidencing any of the Senior Secured Obligations or under which any of the Senior Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Senior Secured Obligations is secured or guaranteed.

Section 7.3 Consents, Amendments, Waivers. All amendments, waivers or consents of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective only if the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Domestic Facility Lenders), the Mexican Facility Agent (on behalf of the Mexican Facility Lenders) and the Required Holders.

Section 7.7 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment hereof may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original (including electronic copies thereof), but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
