(e) The LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative shall not be obligated to consult in accordance with paragraph (d) above if the LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative determine in good faith that to enter into such consultations and thereby delay the commencement of enforcement of the Collateral could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (A) their ability to enforce the Collateral or (B) the realization of any proceeds of any enforcement of the Collateral.
(f) The LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative hereby agree that shortening or eliminating the requirement of (in accordance with 2.02(d) and 2.02(e), respectively) the Initial Consultation Period with respect to any Certified Instruction is contingent upon the LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative jointly notifying the Collateral Agent to such effect.

effect on (A) their ability to enforce any of the Collateral or (B) the realization of any proceeds of any enforcement of the Collateral; provided, however, that any such Additional Consultation Period may only be shortened to the extent that the LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative jointly notify the Collateral Agent to such effect.
(b) If, following the end of the Additional Consultation Period, the Collateral Agent has not received joint instructions from the LC Facility Authorized Representative and the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent shall enforce the Collateral in accordance with the instructions of the LC Facility Authorized Representative as evidenced in the relevant Certified Instruction, notwithstanding any outstanding dispute as to any party’s compliance with the procedural requirements pertaining to the Initial Consultation Period, which Certified Instruction the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon in taking action to enforce rights or exercise remedies in respect of any Shared Collateral.
SECTION 2.04. Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Certain Contests. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents (other than this Agreement), (i) only the Collateral Agent shall, and shall have the right to, exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights, remedies and powers with respect to the Shared Collateral, including any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon any Shared Collateral and any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral under any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), and then only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to, and shall not, follow any instructions or directions with respect to Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Authorized Representative (or the Related Secured Parties thereof), other than the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, and (iii) no Authorized Representative (or any Related Secured Parties thereof), other than the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, shall, or shall instruct the Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, take any other action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or exercise any other right, remedy or power with respect to (including any right, remedy or power under any intercreditor agreement other than this Agreement) any Shared Collateral, whether under any Pari-Passu Lien Credit Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative) and in accordance with the applicable Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents, the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement and this Agreement, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such rights, remedies and powers with respect to Shared Collateral. Notwithstanding the equal
priority of the Liens established under Section 2.01(a), the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative) may deal with the Shared Collateral as if the Class of Specified Pari-Passu Lien Obligations then represented by the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Obligations, are the only Classes of Pari-Passu Lien Obligations outstanding. No Authorized Representative of any Class of Specified Pari-Passu Lien Obligations (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative), or the Related Secured Party thereof, may contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Collateral Agent (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative), or any other exercise by the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative, the Controlling Secured Parties, the LC Facility Authorized Representative or the LC Facility Secured Parties of any rights, remedies or powers with respect to the Shared Collateral. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the rights and priorities of the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.
(b) The Collateral Agent and each of the Authorized Representatives agrees that it will not accept any Lien on any asset of any Grantor securing Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of any Class for the benefit of any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of such Class other than a lien which the Company has certified is permitted by the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents, the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents and this Agreement.
(c) Each of the Authorized Representatives agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) challenge or contest or support any other Person in challenging or contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), (i) the validity, attachment, creation, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties in all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of any Pari-Passu Lien Obligation of any Class, any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document of any Class or the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or (iii) the validity, enforceability or effectiveness of the priorities, rights or duties established by, or other provisions of, any Pari-Passu Security Documents, this Agreement or the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Collateral Agent, any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.
SECTION 2.05. No Interference; Payment Over. (a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that (i) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) take or cause to be taken any action the purpose of
which is, or could reasonably be expected to be, to interfere, hinder or delay, in any manner, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Shared Collateral by the Collateral Agent, (ii) except as provided in Sections 2.02, 2.03 and 2.04, neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties shall have any right (A) to direct the Collateral Agent or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party to exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral (including pursuant to any intercreditor agreement) or (B) to consent to the exercise by the Collateral Agent or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any right, remedy or power with respect to any Shared Collateral, (iii) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) institute any suit or proceeding, or assert in any suit or proceeding any claim, against the Collateral Agent or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party seeking damages from or other relief by way of specific performance, instructions or otherwise with respect to any Shared Collateral, and none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent, such Applicable Authorized Representative or such other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party with respect to any Shared Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iv) neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will (and each hereby waives any right to) seek to have any Shared Collateral or any part thereof marshaled upon any foreclosure or other disposition of such Shared Collateral; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties to enforce this Agreement.
(b) Each Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, agrees that if such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties shall at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or receive any Proceeds (other than as a result of any application of Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) at any time prior to the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations and the Discharge of Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of each other Class, (i) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party, as the case may be, shall promptly inform each Authorized Representative thereof, (ii) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party shall hold such Shared Collateral or Proceeds in trust for the benefit of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any Class entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.01 and (iii) such Authorized Representative or its Related Secured Party shall promptly transfer such Shared Collateral or Proceeds to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 2.01(b). Furthermore, in the event of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in which a determination is made that any Lien encumbering any Shared Collateral is not enforceable for any reason, each Authorized Representative (on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties) agrees that, prior to the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations and the Discharge of Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of each other Class, any distribution or recovery it may receive with respect to, or allocable to, the value of the assets intended to constitute such Shared Collateral or any proceeds thereof shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties (in accordance with Section 2.01, notwithstanding such determination) in
the same form as received, without recourse, representation or warranty (other than a representation of such Authorized Representative that it has not otherwise sold, assigned or transferred or pledged any right, title or interest in and to such distribution or recovery) but with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, agrees that if the Collateral Agent or such Authorized Representative (or any of its Related Secured Parties) shall at any time, other than when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, obtain possession of any Shared Collateral or receive any Proceeds (other than as a result of any application of Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) thereof, the Collateral Agent or such Authorized Representative (or its Related Secured Party), as the case may be, will convey such Shared Collateral or Proceeds, as the case may be, to the Grantors.
SECTION 2.06. Automatic Release of Liens; Amendments to Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents or Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents (but subject to the provisions of Section 11.04 of the Indenture in the case of the release of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents), if at any time the Collateral Agent forecloses upon or otherwise exercises rights, remedies and powers against any Shared Collateral resulting in a disposition thereof, then (whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding is pending at the time) the Liens on such Shared Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of all Classes, will automatically be released and discharged; provided, however, that any Proceeds realized therefrom shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.01(b).
(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document so long as the Collateral Agent receives a certificate of the Issuers stating that such amendment or other modification is permitted by the terms of the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents of each Class and (ii) the Collateral Agent may enter into any amendment or other modification to the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document solely as such Pari-Passu Lien Security Document relates to Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of a particular Class so long as the Collateral Agent receives a certificate of the Issuers stating that (A) such amendment or modification is in accordance with the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents of such Class and (B) such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the interests of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any other Class.
(c) Each Authorized Representative agrees to execute and deliver (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors) all such consents, confirmations, authorizations and other instruments as shall reasonably be requested by the Collateral Agent to evidence and confirm any release of Shared Collateral or amendment or modification to the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document provided for in this Section.
SECTION 2.07. Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy and Insolvency Proceedings. The Authorized Representative of each Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, if the Issuers or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code and shall, as debtor-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, neither such Authorized Representative nor its Related Secured Parties will raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any such financing (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, in each case unless the Applicable Authorized Representative or, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or such use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the LC Facility Secured Parties or the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party (and, in the case of DIP Financing Liens senior to Liens on Shared Collateral for the benefit of the LC Facility Secured Parties, the Controlling Secured Parties) will subordinate its or their Liens (as applicable) with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the LC Facility Secured Parties or the Controlling Secured Parties (as applicable, and in each case, other than any Liens of the LC Facility Secured Parties or Controlling Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of the LC Facility Secured Parties or the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party (and, in the case of DIP Financing Liens that rank pari-passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of the LC Facility Secured Parties, the Controlling Secured Parties) will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of such Class retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral subject to the DIP Financing Liens, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of such Class are granted Liens on any additional collateral provided to the Pari- Passu Lien Secured Parties of any other Class as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with such Liens having the same priority with respect to Liens of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any other Class (other than any Liens of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of such other Class constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, such amount is applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b), and (D) if the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any Class are granted adequate protection, including
in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied in accordance with Section 2.01(b); provided, however, that the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of each Class shall have a right to object to the grant, as security for the DIP Financing, of a Lien on any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of such Class or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided further that any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection granted in connection with the DIP Financing or such use of cash collateral shall not object to any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any such adequate protection granted to such Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party.
SECTION 2.08. Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of any Class previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law), then the terms and conditions of Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of such Class shall again have been paid in full in cash.
SECTION 2.09. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. As between the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, acting at the instruction of the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.03), shall have the exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Grantors under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents, to settle and adjust claims in respect of Shared Collateral under policies of insurance covering or constituting Shared Collateral and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding, or any deed in lieu of condemnation, in respect of the Shared Collateral; provided, however, that any Proceeds arising therefrom shall be subject to Section 2.01(b).
SECTION 2.10. Refinancings. The Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of any Class may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent of, any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall affect any limitation on any such Refinancing that is set forth in the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents of any Class; and provided further, however, that, if any obligations of the Grantors in respect of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall be secured by Liens on any Shared Collateral, then such obligations and the holders thereof shall be subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement and the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing Indebtedness shall have executed an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement.
SECTION 2.11. Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection. (a) The Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral that is part of the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the
possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Section. Pending delivery to the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.
(b) The duties or responsibilities of the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative under this Section shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties therein. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
SECTION 2.12. Permitted Priority Liens. The Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties hereby authorize and instruct the Collateral Agent to, and the Collateral Agent hereby agrees that it shall, execute and deliver such lien subordination, non-disturbance, attornment and other similar agreements as the Company may from time to time request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, so long as the Company delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate certifying that the Lien or other encumbrance proposed to be made senior to the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations is permitted to be incurred under the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents and is a Permitted Priority Lien.
SECTION 2.13. Excluded Stock Collateral. Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any Pari-Passu Lien Credit Document to the contrary, if, prior to the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties is taking action to enforce rights or exercise remedies in respect of any Excluded Stock Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), (ii) any distribution is made in respect of any Excluded Stock Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties receives any payment with respect to any Excluded Stock Collateral pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Excluded Stock Collateral obtained by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties on account of such enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies, and any such distributions or payments received by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties shall be applied in accordance with clauses (1), (2), (3) and (5), but not clause (4), of Section 2.01(b).
SECTION 2.14. Excluded Land Collateral. Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of any Pari-Passu Lien Credit Document to the contrary, if (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties is taking action to enforce rights or exercise remedies in respect of any Excluded Land Collateral, (ii) any distribution is made in respect of any Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or (iii) such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties receives any payment with respect to any Excluded Land Collateral pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement), then the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Excluded Land Collateral obtained by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties on account of such enforcement of rights or exercise of remedies, and any such distributions or payments received by such Authorized Representative or any of its Related Secured Parties shall be applied in accordance with clauses (1), (2), (4) and (5), but not clause (3), of Section 2.01(b).
SECTION 2.15. Miscellaneous. Unless and until otherwise instructed by an Authorized Representative, the Collateral Agent may consider all Collateral as Shared Collateral. Each Authorized Representative hereby agrees that (i) upon a change in the Authorized Representative serving as Applicable Authorized Representative, the incumbent Applicable Authorized Representative shall provide prompt notice to the Collateral Agent as to the successor thereof, (ii) upon the assignment of any party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the assigning party shall provide prompt notice to the Collateral Agent as to the assignee thereof and (iii) upon a change in the principal amount outstanding of any Class of Specified Pari Passu-Lien Obligations, the Applicable Authorized Representative shall notify the Collateral Agent as to such change.

ARTICLE III
Determinations with Respect to Obligations and Liens
Whenever, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any Class shall be required to determine the existence or amount of any Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of any Class, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations of any Class (and whether such Lien constitutes a valid and perfected Lien), it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by the Authorized Representative of such Class and shall be entitled to make such determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if, notwithstanding such request, the Authorized Representative of the applicable Class shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral
Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon an Officers’ Certificate. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative 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 any Grantor, any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party or any other Person as a result of such determination or any action or not taken pursuant thereto.
ARTICLE IV
Concerning the Collateral Agent
SECTION 4.01. Appointment and Authority. (a) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association to act as the Collateral Agent hereunder and under each of the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, including for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any Grantor to secure any of the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) entering into the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement and (ii) establishing and maintaining accounts at such banking institutions necessary or appropriate to receive and distribute Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.01 and the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement). In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, hereby grants to the Collateral Agent any required powers of attorney to execute any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party’s behalf. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent is hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Shared Collateral, and the rights of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents.
(b) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, without regard to any rights, remedies or powers to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled to as a result of their Non-Controlling Secured Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative, the LC Facility
Authorized Representative or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Pari-Passu Lien Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, waives any claim they may now or hereafter have against the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class arising out of (i) any actions that the Collateral Agent or any such Authorized Representative or Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party takes or omits to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale or other disposition, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents or the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, (ii) any election by any Applicable Authorized Representative, LC Facility Authorized Representative or Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.07, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law by, the Issuers or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Pari-Passu Lien Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.
(c) Each of the Authorized Representatives, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, upon any other obligations being designated hereunder as Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations or any other Person becoming an Additional Authorized Representative or any other Persons becoming Additional Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent will continue to act in its capacity as Collateral Agent in respect of the then existing Authorized Representatives and Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties and such Additional Authorized Representative and Additional Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties.
SECTION 4.02. Rights as a Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party. The Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any Class as any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of such Class and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Collateral Agent and the term “Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party”, “Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties”, “Indenture Secured Party”, “Indenture Secured Parties”, “Additional Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party” or “Additional Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties”, as applicable, shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Collateral Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

The Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement and the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents to each Authorized Representative and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative) shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, by the LC Facility Authorized Representative) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative); provided, however, that if the Collateral Agent shall notify each Authorized Representative and the Company that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties under any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral solely for purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties therein until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to each Authorized Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative and, if on or prior to the date of the Discharge of LC Facility Obligations, the LC Facility Authorized Representative, appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). Notwithstanding the resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, the provisions of this Article and the equivalent provision of any Additional Pari-Passu Lien Credit Document shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Secured Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any notice of resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (and maintain the validity and priority of) the Liens in favor of the retiring Collateral Agent under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents to the successor Collateral Agent.
SECTION 4.07. Collateral Matters. Each of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent:
(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Pari-Passu Lien Security Document or the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement in accordance with Sections 2.04 and 2.06, in accordance with the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement or upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate stating that such release is permitted by the terms of the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents; and
(b) to release any Grantor from its obligations under the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents or the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that such release is permitted by the terms of the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents; neither of which shall require the instruction of any Authorized Representative in accordance with Section 2.02 or 2.03.
ARTICLE V
No Liability
SECTION 5.01. Information. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Authorized Representative or Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any Class shall have any duty to disclose to any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class any information relating to the Issuers or any of their Subsidiaries, or any other circumstance bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, that is known or becomes known to any of them or any of their Affiliates. If the Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any Class, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to, as the case may be, the Authorized Representative or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class, it shall be under no obligation (i) to make, and shall not be deemed to have made, any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the accuracy, completeness, truthfulness or validity of the information so provided, (ii) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion or (iii) to undertake any investigation.
SECTION 5.02. No Warranties or Liability. (a) Each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Authorized Representative or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class has made any express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectability or enforceability of any of the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents, the ownership of any Shared Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Liens thereon. The Authorized Representative and the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any Class will be entitled to manage and supervise their loans and other extensions of credit in the manner determined by them.
(b) No Authorized Representative or Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties of any Class shall have any express or implied duty to the Authorized Representative or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party of any other Class to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default under any Pari-Passu Lien Credit Document (other than, in each case, this Agreement), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with.
ARTICLE VI
Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations
The Issuers may, at any time and from time to time, subject to any limitations contained in the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents in effect at such time, designate additional Indebtedness and related obligations that are, or are to be, secured by
Liens on any assets of either of the Issuers or any other Grantor that would, if such Liens were granted, constitute Shared Collateral as “Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations” by delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative party hereto at such time an Officers’ Certificate:
(a) describing the Indebtedness and other obligations being designated as Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, and including a statement of the maximum aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Indebtedness as of the date of such certificate;
(b) setting forth the Additional Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents under which such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations are issued or incurred or the guarantees of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations are, or are to be, created, and attaching copies of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents as each Grantor has executed and delivered to the Person that serves as the administrative agent, trustee or a similar representative for the holders of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations (such Person being referred to as the “Additional Authorized Representative”) with respect to such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations on the closing date of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, certified as being true and complete by an Officers’ Certificate;
(c) identifying the Person that serves as the Additional Authorized Representative;
(d) certifying that the incurrence of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, the creation of the Liens securing such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations and the designation of such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations as “Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations” hereunder do not violate or result in a default under any provision of any Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents in effect at such time;
(e) certifying that the Additional Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents authorize the Additional Authorized Representative to become a party hereto by executing and delivering an Additional Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement and provide that upon such execution and delivery, such Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations and the holders thereof shall become subject to and bound by the provisions of this Agreement; and
(f) attaching a fully completed Authorized Representative Joinder Agreement executed and delivered by the Additional Authorized Representative.
Upon the delivery of such certificate and the related attachments as provided above, the obligations designated in such notice as “Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations” shall become Additional Pari-Passu Lien Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

SECTION 7.03. Parties in Interest.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the 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 7.07. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 7.08. Submission to Jurisdiction Waivers; Consent to Service of Process. The Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, irrevocably and unconditionally:
(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the Pari-Passu Lien Security Documents and the Real Property Collateral Management Agreement, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right of any other party hereto (or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party) to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any party hereto (or any Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party) to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

EACH PARTY HERETO 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 (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 7.10. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 7.11. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 2.06 hereof) and the provisions of any of the Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.
SECTION 7.12. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties in relation to one another. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, none of the Company, any other Grantor, any other Subsidiary or any other creditor of any of the foregoing shall have any rights or obligations hereunder, and none of the Company, any other Grantor or any other Subsidiary may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Company or any other Grantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the Pari-Passu Lien Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms.
SECTION 7.13. Additional Grantors. In the event any Subsidiary of the Company shall have granted a Lien on any of its assets to secure any Pari-Passu Lien Obligations, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary, if not already a party hereto, to become a party hereto as a “Grantor”. Upon the execution and delivery by any such Subsidiary of a Grantor Joinder Agreement, such Subsidiary shall become a party hereto and a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as such herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereto shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.14. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents, represents the agreement of each of the Grantors and the Pari-Passu Lien Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Pari-Passu Lien Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Pari-Passu Lien Credit Documents.
SECTION 7.15. Further Assurances. Each of the Collateral Agent, each Authorized Representative and the Grantors agrees that it will execute, or will cause to be executed, any and all further documents, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions, as may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative may reasonably request, to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities provided for herein.
SECTION 7.16. Security Agreement. In addition to the foregoing rights, in acting hereunder and by virtue of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, protections and immunities granted to it under the Security Agreement, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.
