Such Credit Party possesses all applicable Business Entity powers and all other authorizations and licenses necessary to engage in its business and operations as now conducted, the failure to obtain or maintain which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of the Security Documents to which it is a party are within such Credit Party’s applicable Business Entity powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary applicable Business Entity action, and do not contravene (i) such Credit Party’s organizational documents or (ii) any material contractual restriction binding on or affecting such Credit Party.

(d) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by such Credit Party of any Security Document to which it is a party, except those necessary to comply (i) with Applicable Laws in the ordinary course of such Credit Party’s business or (ii) with ongoing obligations of such Credit Party under the Security Documents to which it is a party and Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.07 of the Credit Agreement.

(e) This Agreement constitutes, and the other Security Documents when delivered shall constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Credit Party that is a party thereto, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

(f) With respect to any Credit Party that is a Grantor, all Collateral pledged by such Credit Party hereunder consisting of certificated securities has been delivered to the Collateral Agent.

(g) With respect to any Credit Party that is a Grantor, this Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Grantor in the Collateral pledged by such Credit Party hereunder as security for the Secured Obligations, prior and superior in right to any other Lien (except for Collateral Permitted Liens), except in each case above as may be limited by any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

With respect to any Equity Interests pledged by such Credit Party to the Collateral Agent hereunder that are uncertificated securities, such Credit Party has caused the issuer thereof to agree in an authenticated record with such Credit Party and the Collateral Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such uncertificated securities originated by the Collateral Agent without further consent of such Credit Party and has delivered a copy of such authenticated record to the Collateral Agent. If such Credit Party is a Pledged Company, such Credit Party confirms that it has received notice of such security interest.

(i) With respect to any Credit Party that is a Grantor, the Initial Pledged Equity as set forth on Schedule II (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) pledged as Collateral by such Credit Party to the Collateral Agent hereunder constitutes 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each issuer thereof.

The Credit Parties shall deliver to the Collateral Agent amended and restated schedules (the “Amended Schedules”) to this Agreement in the event that any information contained on the schedules attached hereto becomes inaccurate. Such Amended Schedules shall replace the schedules provided by the Credit Parties on the Effective Date, and shall be deemed the schedules to this Agreement. Each Credit Party will not change its name, identity, corporate structure (including, without limitation, its jurisdiction of formation) or the location of its registered office without (i) giving the Collateral Agent at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice clearly describing such new name, identity, corporate structure or new location and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, and (ii) taking all action satisfactory to the Collateral Agent at the expense of such Credit Party as the Collateral Agent may request to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected with the same priority and in full force and effect.

(d) If funds are to be transferred to the Qualified Investments Account pursuant to Section 4.03(c) and after giving effect to such transfer the Qualified Investments Account would contain funds in respect of the Covered Assets of more than one Restricted Subsidiary, or in respect of more than one Covered Asset of a single Restricted Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent shall cause the Depository Bank to establish and maintain individual securities subaccounts, or the Collateral Agent shall establish in its accounting records notional subaccounts (each, a “Qualified Investments Subaccount”), in each case within the Qualified Investments Account, for each such Restricted Subsidiary or each such Covered Asset.

(e) For the period from the initial transfer of the Remaining Reinvestment Amount to the Qualified Investments Account, until the date, if ever, on which the failure of the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to invest such Remaining Reinvestment Amount in Qualified Investments, requires application of all or a portion thereof in connection with a reduction of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall, at the written direction of the Company from time to time, direct the Depository Bank to pay such funds on deposit in the Qualified Investments Account (or any applicable Qualified Investments Subaccount) to the Restricted Subsidiary identified by the Company in the Officer’s Certificate described in the following sentence. The written direction described in the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate (i) setting forth the name of the Restricted Subsidiary whose Disposition of Covered Assets resulted in the deposit of the Remaining Reinvestment Amount that is being requested to be paid pursuant to such written direction, (ii) if such Restricted Subsidiary is a FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary, stating that all funds retained by such FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to Section 4.03(a) from the Net Cash Proceeds of all of its Dispositions of Covered Assets prior to the date of such certificate have been, or (by making the currently proposed Qualified Investment(s)) will be, used to make Qualified Investments, and (iii) describing the Qualified Investment(s) to be made (or deemed made) by such Restricted Subsidiary with such funds, pursuant to the definition of “Qualified Investment”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to direct that funds on deposit in the Qualified Investments Account or any applicable Qualified Investments Subaccount be paid to a FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary in respect of new Qualified Investments made or deemed made by such FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary only if, on the proposed date of such payment from the Qualified Investments Account or applicable Qualified Investments Subaccount, the aggregate amount of Qualified Investments made by such FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary after April 16, 2003 equals or exceeds the sum of (1) the product of (x) $100,000,000 times (y) the number of such Dispositions of Covered Assets by such FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary that have resulted in a deposit in the Collateral Account, plus (2) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds of Dispositions of Covered Assets by such FERC-Regulated Restricted Subsidiary after April 16, 2003 that have not resulted in deposits into the Collateral Account.

(f) If a Mandatory Asset Reduction Event described in clause (d) of the definition thereof shall occur with the result that the Company is required to cause Loans to be prepaid or Letters of Credit to be Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement (a “2.09 Application”), the Collateral Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to transfer (i) if such Mandatory Asset Reduction Event does not occur during the pendency of an Event of Default, (A) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the required 2.09 Application and (y) 80% of the funds remaining in the Qualified Investments Account (or the applicable Qualified Investments Subaccount) in respect of the applicable Disposition of Covered Assets to the Collateral Account to be applied in accordance with Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement, and (B) any remaining funds in the Qualified Investments Account (or the applicable Qualified Investments Subaccount) to the Company, or as the Company directs, to be used for general corporate purposes, or (ii) if such Mandatory Asset Reduction Event occurs concurrently with or during the pendency of an Event of Default, 100% of the funds remaining in the Qualified Investments Account (and in all applicable Qualified Investments Subaccounts) in respect of the applicable Disposition of Covered Assets to the Collateral Account to be applied (x) to the extent of the required 2.09 Application, in accordance with Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement and (y) the balance, in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof.

(g) If following the application of a Mandatory Asset Reduction Amount in accordance with Section 2.07(d) of the Credit Agreement and any prepayment of Loans or Cash Collateralization of outstanding Letters of Credit in connection therewith pursuant to Section 2.09(c) of the Credit Agreement, there are remaining funds in the Qualified Investments Account attributable to such Mandatory Asset Reduction Amount, the Collateral Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to transfer such remaining funds (i) if no Event of Default exists at the time, to the Company, or as the Company directs, to be used for general corporate purposes, or (ii) if an Event of Default exists at the time, to the Collateral Account to be applied in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof.

(h) The Collateral Agent shall effectuate any transfer required pursuant to Section 4.03(f) or 4.03(g) by giving appropriate entitlement orders to the Depository Bank.

Section 4.04. Payments in Trust. If, notwithstanding the instructions given or required to be given in accordance with this Article 4, any payments required by any Security Document to be remitted to the Collateral Agent are instead remitted to the Company or its Affiliates (it being the intent and understanding of the parties hereto that such payments are not to be made directly to the Company but directly to the Collateral Agent for deposit into, or credit to, the relevant Pledged Account for application in accordance with this Article 4), then, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company or such other Person shall receive such payments into a constructive trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the Secured Parties’ security interest, and shall (or shall use its best efforts to cause the Person receiving such payments to) promptly remit them to the Collateral Agent for deposit into, or credit to, the applicable Pledged Account designated by this Article 4.

Section 4.05. Investment of Funds in Pledged Accounts. (a) The Collateral Agent will promptly direct the Depository Bank to (i) invest amounts on deposit in, or credited to, the Pledged Accounts, (ii) reinvest any interest paid on the amounts referred to in clause (i) above, and (iii) reinvest other proceeds of any such amounts that may mature or be sold, in each case, in Cash Equivalents which are deposited into, or credited to, such Pledged Account, in each case as the Company may select and instruct the Collateral Agent, unless, to the knowledge of the Collateral Agent, any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which event the Collateral Agent shall direct the Depository Bank to invest such amounts in Cash Equivalents as the Collateral Agent may direct. If no Event of Default then exists, interest and proceeds resulting from an investment of funds in any Pledged Account in Cash Equivalents shall be, promptly upon request of the Company, transferred to the Company to be used for general corporate purposes. In addition, subject to any instructions from the Company (if not during the pendency of an Event of Default), the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to direct the Depository Bank to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger denominations.

(b) Unless it has received instructions from the Company in accordance with this Section 4.05 as to the investment of such funds, the Collateral Agent may direct the Depository Bank to invest or reinvest any funds in any Pledged Account. All investments and reinvestments of funds in the Pledged Accounts shall be made in the name of the Depository Bank.

(c) Whenever directed to make a transfer of funds from any of the Pledged Accounts in accordance with this Article 4, the Collateral Agent is hereby directed and authorized by the Company, the Borrowers and the Grantors (for themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) to direct the Depository Bank to liquidate (or cause to be liquidated) Cash Equivalents (in order of their respective maturities with the Cash Equivalents with the shortest maturities being liquidated first), to the extent that, after application of all other funds available for such purpose pursuant to this Article 4, the liquidation of any Cash Equivalent is necessary to make such transfer.

(d) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Depository Bank shall (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) have any liability with respect to any interest, cost or penalty on the liquidation of any Cash Equivalent pursuant to this Agreement, nor shall the Collateral Agent (in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) have any liability with respect to Cash Equivalents (including purchases or conversions of foreign exchange) or moneys deposited into, or credited to, the Pledged Accounts (or any losses resulting therefrom) invested in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for any investment losses resulting from the investment, reinvestment or liquidation of all or a portion of funds in the Pledged Accounts, if the Collateral Agent has made such investment, reinvestment or liquidation, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) All references in this Agreement to Pledged Accounts and to cash, moneys or funds therein or balances thereof, shall include the Cash Equivalents in which such cash, moneys, funds or balances are then invested and the proceeds thereof, and all financial assets and security entitlements carried in or credited to such Pledged Accounts.

(f) (i) Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its Affiliates assume any duty or liability for monitoring the rating or performance of any Cash Equivalent. Subject to Section 4.06, in the event an investment selection is not made by the Company in accordance with this Section 4.05, the funds in the Pledged Accounts shall not be required to be invested but may be invested at the discretion of the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability for interest or income thereon. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to cause the investment or reinvestment of the funds in the Pledged Accounts on the day of deposit if all or a portion of such funds is deposited with the Collateral Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such day of deposit. Instructions to invest or reinvest that are received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) will be treated as if received on the following Business Day in New York. Requests or instructions received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) by the Collateral Agent to liquidate all or a portion of funds in any Pledged Account will be treated as if received on the following Business Day in New York.

(ii) The Credit Parties acknowledge that non-deposit investment products (A) are not obligations of, nor guaranteed, by JPMCB or any of its Affiliates; (B) are not FDIC insured; and (C) are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of principal amount invested.

Section 4.06. Transfers from Accounts During the Continuance of an Event of Default. During the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to accept any instructions from the Company with respect to any transfer or withdrawal of funds on deposit in, or credited to, any Pledged Account and, in such circumstances, the Collateral Agent may direct the investment, transfer or withdrawal of funds in the Pledged Accounts without further consent by the Company.

Section 4.07. Reports, Certification and Instructions. (a) The Collateral Agent shall maintain all such accounts, books and records as may be necessary to properly record all transactions carried out by it under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall permit the Company and its Affiliates and their authorized representatives to examine such accounts, books and records; provided that any such examination shall occur upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours.

(b) The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Company copies of the account statements for all Pledged Accounts (including all subaccounts) for each month. Such account statements shall indicate, with respect to each such account, deposits, credits and transfers, investments made and closing balances. The Collateral Agent shall provide any additional information or reports relating to the Pledged Accounts and the transactions therein reasonably requested from time to time by the Company or any Secured Party.

(c) Each time the Company directs the Collateral Agent to make or cause to be made a transfer or withdrawal from a Pledged Account, it shall be deemed to represent and warrant for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that such transfer or withdrawal is being made in an amount, and shall be applied solely for the purposes permitted by, and is and will otherwise be in accordance with, this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. Except to the extent any officer or officers of the Collateral Agent responsible for the administration of this Agreement has actual knowledge to the contrary, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on, and shall incur no liability in so relying on, any such direction.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, all notices, certifications, approvals, directions, instructions or other communication given to the Collateral Agent with respect to any payments, transfers, credits, deposits, withdrawals or investments with respect to, or otherwise relating to, any Pledged Account, in each case, by the Company or by any other Secured Party shall be given in writing, and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any payments, transfers, credits, deposits, withdrawals or investments unless it has received such written instructions specifying the date, amount and Pledged Account with respect to which such payment, transfer, credit, deposit, withdrawal or investment is to be made.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Security Documents or any of the other Financing Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents to which it is a party in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
