Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of a security interest in, and the term “Collateral” shall be deemed to exclude, all of the following property (the “Excluded Collateral”): (A) any intent-to-use trademark applications filed pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Xxxxxx Act, 15 U.S.C. §1051, to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would otherwise invalidate any Grantor’s right, title or interest therein, (B) any property owned by a Grantor that is subject to a purchase money Lien or a “capital lease” in accordance with GAAP permitted hereunder or under the Note Documents if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is granted (or the document providing for such capital lease) prohibits the creation of a Lien thereon or expressly requires the consent of any person other than a Grantor, unless such consent has been obtained or such prohibitions otherwise cease to exist, in which case such Collateral shall automatically become subject to the security interest granted hereunder, (C) any General Intangibles or other rights, in each case arising under any contracts, instruments, licenses or other documents as to which the grant of a security interest would violate or invalidate any such contract, instrument, license or other document or give any other party to such contract, instrument, license or other document the right to terminate its obligations thereunder, (D) any asset, the granting of a security interest in which would be void or illegal under any applicable governmental law, rule or regulation, or pursuant thereto would result in, or permit the termination of, such asset, provided, that the property described in clauses (C) and (D) above shall only be excluded from the term “Collateral” to the extent the conditions stated therein are not rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC or any other Applicable Law, and (E) the Excluded Accounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Proceeds of the property described in clauses (A) through (E) above shall constitute Collateral and shall be included within the property and assets over which a security interest is granted pursuant to this Agreement, unless such Proceeds would independently constitute Excluded Collateral.

(b)The security interest granted under this Section does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Secured Party of any obligation of any Grantor or any other Person in connection with any or all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the exercise by the Secured Party of any of its rights in the Collateral shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations in respect of the Collateral other than any duties and obligations arising with respect to Collateral after such Grantor has been dispossessed of such Collateral by the Secured Party (or its assignee), which, by their nature, may not be satisfied without possession of such Collateral and (ii) the Secured Party shall not have any obligations or liability in respect of the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

(d)the Secured Party or its Representative shall have the right, in the name of the Secured Party or in the name of a Grantor or otherwise, to demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;

The Secured Party may, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the sale may be so adjourned.

(g)the Secured Party may, prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Secured Party deems appropriate;

The Secured Party may proceed by way of any action, suit or other proceeding at law or in equity and no right, remedy or power of the Secured Party will be exclusive of or dependent on any other. The Secured Party may exercise any of its rights, remedies or powers separately or in combination and at any time.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party may, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other person or entity (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith date and otherwise fill in the blanks on any assignments separate from certificates or stock power or otherwise sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more portions at one or more public or private sales or dispositions, at any exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for any combination of cash and/or securities or other property or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of the Secured Party (or the designee of the Secured Party) upon any such sale, public or private, to purchase the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any

right or equity of redemption of the applicable Grantor, which right or equity is hereby expressly waived or released. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by Applicable Law or this Agreement, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Notwithstanding any provision in any operating agreement or shareholder agreement of any issuer of the Collateral or any other Applicable Law to the contrary, the undersigned, constituting a member and/or shareholder of each issuer hereby acknowledges that such member and/or shareholder, as applicable, may pledge to the Secured Party all of such member’s and/or shareholder’s right, title and interest in such issuer, and upon foreclosure the successful bidder (which may include the Secured Party or any Holder) will be deemed admitted as a member and/or shareholder, as applicable, of such issuer, and will automatically succeed to all of such pledged right, title and interest, including without limitation such members’ and/or shareholder’s limited liability company and equity interests, right to vote and participate in the management and business affairs of the issuer, right to a share of the profits and losses of the issuer and right to receive distributions from the issuer.

The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 4.6 shall be applied in accordance with Section 4.9 hereof.

1.7Deficiency. If the proceeds of sale, collection or other realization of or upon the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such realization and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

1.8Private Sale. Each Grantor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and applicable state securities laws, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and such Grantor agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to engage in any such private sales or dispositions under such circumstances. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Secured Party to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral to permit any Grantor to register such Collateral for public sale under the Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Grantor would agree to do so. The Secured Party shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any such Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale provided for in this Agreement and each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. The Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

Each Grantor further agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion or all of any such Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Grantor’s expense. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 4.8 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, agrees that each and every covenant contained in this Section 4.8 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Each Grantor further agrees not to exercise any and all rights of subrogation it may have against a Pledged Entity upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.12.

4.9 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and any other cash at the time held by the Secured Party under this Agreement, shall be applied, first to the payment of all fees and expenses or other liabilities of any kind payable to the Secured Party in connection with the Note Documents (solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent and not in its capacity as a Holder or any other capacity) and second, to the Trustee for payment in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Base Indenture.

1.9Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Secured Party, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in the discretion of the Secured Party, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted hereunder, to maintain the perfection or priority of any security interest granted hereunder, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives the Secured Party the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), to do the following upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(a)to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement;

(b)to ask, demand, collect, receive and give acquittance and receipts for any and all moneys due and to become due under any Collateral and, in the name of such Grantor or its own name or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other Instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Secured Party for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Collateral whenever payable;

(c)to pay or discharge charges or liens levied or placed on or threatened in writing against the Collateral, to effect any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement or the Note Documents and to pay all or any part of the premiums therefor;

(d)to direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due, and to become due thereunder, directly to the Secured Party or as the Secured Party shall direct, and to receive payment of and receipt for any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due, and to become due at any time, in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

Each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Secured Party and its Representative to file any such financing or continuation statement without the signature of such Grantor to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

1.13Additional Grantors.

applicable Grantor and any other attachments, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Secured Party, (b) cause each Additional Grantor to execute a joinder to the Subsidiary Guaranty, (c) deliver each of the following documents: (x) a secretary’s certificate, (y) a Lien and judgment search and (z) any financing statements or amendments to financing statements requested by the Secured Party, in the case of the items described in clauses (x) and (y), substantially in the form of such document or other item delivered under the Securities Purchase Agreement in respect of the Grantors at Closing (with any such changes reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party), (d) if such Additional Grantor maintains any Deposit Account, securities account, brokerage account or other similar account (other than any Excluded Accounts), such Additional Grantor shall execute and deliver a Control Agreement with the applicable financial institution which purports to cover such account, (e) if reasonably requested by the Secured Party, such Grantor shall deliver an opinion of legal counsel to the Additional Grantor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, covering the documents executed and the security interests granted by the Secured Party, (iii) if an Additional Grantor owns an interest in any real property, such Grantor and such Additional Grantor shall comply with the terms of Section 2(j) as if such real property was acquired on the date Grantor acquired such Pledged Interest, (iv) take all other such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates reasonably requested by Secured Party, and (v) promptly following demand thereof, pay all fees and expenses of the Secured Party, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with actions taken under this Section. Upon delivery of any such Joinder Agreement to the Secured Party, notice of which is hereby waived by each other Grantor, each Additional Grantor shall be a “Grantor” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it were originally a party to this Agreement and named as a “Grantor” hereunder. Each Grantor expressly agrees that their obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Secured Party not to cause any other Person to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to each Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

1.14Limitation on Duty of Secured Party. The powers conferred on the Secured Party under this Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interest on behalf of itself and the Holders in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Without in any way limiting the exculpation and indemnification provisions of the Note Documents, the Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives and retains for its own account as a result of the exercise of such powers and neither the Secured Party nor its Representative nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act, except for bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, the Secured Party and any Representative shall each be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its respective possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially similar to that which the relevant Secured Party or any Representative, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of the type of Collateral involved, it being understood and agreed that neither the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps (other than steps taken in accordance with the standard of care set forth above) to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Secured Party nor any Representative shall have any obligation or liability under any Contract or license by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting to the Secured Party of a security interest therein or assignment thereof or the receipt by the Secured Party or any Representative of any payment relating to any Contract or license pursuant hereto, nor shall the Secured Party or any Representative be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Contract or license, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Contract or license, or to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

1.15Dividends, Distributions, Etc. If, prior to the payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), any Grantor shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization,

merger or consolidation), or any options or rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution for, or in exchange for any of the Pledged Interests or otherwise, such Grantor agrees, in each case, to accept the same as the Secured Party’s agent and to hold the same in trust for the Secured Party, and to deliver the same promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt) to Secured Party in the exact form received, with the endorsement of such Grantor when necessary and/or with appropriate undated assignments separate from certificates or stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Secured Party subject to the terms hereof, as additional Pledged Collateral. Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to the Secured Party (i) a Pledge Supplement with respect to such additional certificates, and (ii) any financing statements or amendments to financing statements as requested by the Secured Party. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Secured Party to attach each such Pledge Supplement to this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 4.17(b) below, all sums of money and property so paid or distributed in respect of the Pledged Interests which are received by such Grantor shall, until paid or delivered to the Secured Party, be held by such Grantor in trust as additional Pledged Collateral.

1.16Voting Rights; Dividends; Certificates.

Each Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party or its nominee, an irrevocable proxy to exercise all voting, corporate and limited liability company rights relating to the Pledged Interests in any instance, which proxy shall be effective, at the discretion of the Secured Party, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default so long as the Secured Party has notified such Grantor in writing of its intent to exercise its voting power under this clause prior to the exercise thereof. Upon the request of the Secured Party at any time, each Grantor agrees to deliver to the Secured Party such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxies to vote the Pledged Interests as the Secured Party may reasonably request.

(b)So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Grantors shall be entitled to receive cash dividends or other distributions made in respect of the Pledged Interests, to the extent permitted to be made pursuant to the terms of the Note Documents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the event that any Grantor, as record and beneficial owner of the Pledged Interests, shall have received, any cash dividends or other distributions in the ordinary course, such Grantor shall deliver to the Secured Party, and the Secured Party shall be entitled to receive and retain, for the benefit of the Secured Party and the Holders, all such cash or other distributions as additional security for the Obligations.

(c)Each Grantor shall cause all Pledged Interests required to be delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(a) to be certificated within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement and at all times thereafter while this Agreement is in effect and shall deliver to the Secured Party or its Representative within thirty (30) days of the date of this Agreement and at all times thereafter all certificates representing the Pledged Interests, together with undated assignments separate from certificates or stock/membership interest powers duly executed in blank by such Xxxxxxx and irrevocable proxies.

(d)Any or all of the Pledged Interests held by the Secured Party hereunder may, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Secured Party has notified the applicable Grantor in writing of its intent to exercise its power of registration under this sentence prior to the exercise thereof, be registered in the name of Secured Party or its nominee, and the Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter without notice exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting with respect to any Pledged Entity and exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to vote in favor of, and to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment with respect to any Pledged Entity or upon the exercise by any Pledged Entity, any Grantor or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Pledged Interests, and in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Interests with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may reasonably determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by the Secured Party, but the Secured

Party shall have no duty to exercise any of the aforesaid rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

1.17No Disposition, Etc. Until the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), each Grantor agrees that, except as permitted under the Note Documents, it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, nor will such Grantor create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other encumbrance with respect to any of the Pledged Interests or any other Pledged Collateral, or any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the lien and security interest of the Secured Party provided for by this Agreement, the other Security Documents and the Permitted Liens described in clause (B) or (C) of the definition thereof.

viii)any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Pledgor or any other Grantor for the Obligations, or of such Grantor under the guarantee contained in the Note Documents or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a Bankruptcy Proceeding or in any other instance;

(b)The Secured Party shall have the discretion to allocate proceeds received by the Secured Party pursuant to the exercise of remedies under the Note Documents or at law or in equity (including without limitation with respect to any secured creditor remedies exercised against the Collateral and any other security provided for under any Security Documents) to the then outstanding Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect.

1.12Collateral Agent.

(a)The Secured Party is hereby designated as the collateral agent under this Agreement, the Security Documents and the Note Documents, and the Holders irrevocably authorize the Secured Party to take such action on their behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Note Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Secured Party by the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of the each Note Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms.

The Holders agree that any action taken by the Secured Party in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the

other Note Documents, and the exercise by the Secured Party of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon the Holders.

The Secured Party shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Secured Party shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

(d)The Secured Party shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default or Event of Default.

(e)The Secured Party may resign at any time by 5 days’ written notice to the Holders, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Secured Party. If the Secured Party resigns under this Agreement, the Pledgor shall appoint a successor collateral agent. If no successor collateral agent is appointed pursuant to the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation) the Secured Party shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Secured Party, and the retiring Secured Party’s appointment, powers and duties as the Secured Party shall be terminated. After the retiring Secured Party’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 6.12(e) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Secured Party shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Secured Party under this Agreement.

under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(g)The Secured Party is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Security Documents to which it is party, whether executed on or after the Closing, (ii) bind the Holders on the terms as set forth in the Security Documents and the other Note Documents, and (iii) perform and observe its obligations under the Security Documents and the other Note Documents.

(i)No provision of this Agreement, any Security Document or the other Note Documents shall require the Secured Party to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Secured Party in its sole discretion against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Secured Party relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents, in the event the Secured Party is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Secured Party shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the Mortgages or take any such other action if the Secured Party has determined that the Secured Party may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Secured Party shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (i) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking to be sufficient.

(j)The Secured Party (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Agreement, any Security Document, the other Note Documents, or any instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Secured Party shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(k)The Secured Party shall not be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. The Secured Party shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(l)The Secured Party does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Pledgor or any Grantor under this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Note Documents. The Secured Party shall not be responsible any Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the Security Documents, the other Note Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other

document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Secured Party under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Security Documents and any other Note Document of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Note Documents. The Secured Party shall have no obligation to any Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents. The Secured Party shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements, and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder.

(m)The parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that the Secured Party shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents, the Secured Party may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Secured Party in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Secured Party shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Secured Party 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 either of the Secured Party’s sole discretion may cause the Secured Party to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Secured Party to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, each of the Secured Party and the Secured Party reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the collateral agent or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. The Secured Party shall not be liable to the Pledgor, the Grantors, or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Secured Party’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment.

(n)Subject to the provisions of the applicable Security Documents and the other Note Documents, the Secured Party shall execute and deliver this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Note Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Party shall have no discretion under this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders.

(o)The Secured Party is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents and to make further distributions of such funds to itself and the Holders in accordance with the Security Documents and the other Note Documents.

(p)In each case that the Secured Party may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document or the other Note Documents, to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document or the other Note Documents, the Secured Party may seek direction from the Holders. The Secured Party shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction

from the Holders. If the Secured Party shall request direction from the Holders with respect to any Action, the Secured Party shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Secured Party shall have received direction from the Holders, and the Secured Party shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(q)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents, in no event shall the Secured Party be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Note Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Secured Party be responsible for, and the Secured Party makes no representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(r)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Secured Party shall only act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral.

1.13No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
