The Company shall have the right, by one or more written instruments executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for the realization of any right or remedy available to the Collateral Agent, or of exercising any power conferred on the Collateral Agent, or to direct the taking or refraining from taking of any action authorized by this Agreement; provided that (i) such direction shall not conflict with the provisions of any law or of this Agreement or involve the Collateral Agent in personal liability and (ii) the Collateral Agent shall be indemnified as provided herein. Nothing contained in this Section 10.02 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take any action or omit to take any action which it deems proper and which is not inconsistent with such direction. None of the Collateral Agent, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar has any obligation or responsibility for determining the necessity of filing or to file or monitor the filing of UCC financing statements or other UCC statements.

Section 10.03 Reliance by Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent, Securities Intermediary and Securities Registrar.

Each of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any certification, order, judgment, opinion, notice or other written or telephonic communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by e-mail or similar electronic means, telecopy, telex or facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons (without being required to determine the correctness of any fact stated therein). Each of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may consult with legal counsel or other experts of its selection and the advice, opinions and statements of such legal counsel and other experts and any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, suffering, or in refraining from acting, hereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Company or the Property Trustee in accordance with this Agreement. In the event any instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of the execution of the Agreement), whether in writing, by telecopier or otherwise, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar are authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on Schedule II hereto, and the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the Person or Persons so designated.

beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may apply any of the deposited funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a Person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank, or an intermediary bank, designated by the Company or the Property Trustee; provided that payment is made and confirmed to the account as specified by the Company or the Property Trustee, as the case may be.

Section 10.04 Certain Rights.

(a) Whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Agreement the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by one of the Company’s officers, and delivered to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar and such certificate, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar, shall be full warrant to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar for any action taken, suffered or omitted by any of them under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance thereon.

(b) The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, entitlement order, approval or other paper or document.

(c) None of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods, terrorism, wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots, interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communication services, accidents, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority and governmental action.

(d) The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar may request that the Company and the Property Trustee each deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Agreement, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

(f) None of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar shall be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith, unless it shall have been grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(g) The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall have no liability whatsoever for the action or inaction of any Clearing Agency or any book-entry system thereof.

The provisions of Sections 5.6 and 5.11 of the Declaration of Trust are hereby made applicable to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar, mutatis mutandis, as if they were the Securities Registrar as referred to therein.

(h) The Securities Registrar shall also have all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Securities Registrar under the Declaration of Trust, including its right to be indemnified.

Company; provided that each of the Securities Registrar, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Collateral Agent covenants and agrees with the Company that it shall not accept, receive or permit there to be created in favor of itself and shall take no affirmative action to permit there to be created in favor of any other Person, any security interest, lien or other encumbrance of any kind in or upon the Collateral other than the lien created by the Pledge.

The provisions of this Section 10.08 and Section 12.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.09 Failure to Act.

In the event of (i) uncertainty on the part of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar as to the application of any provision in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the transaction contemplated hereby or (ii) any ambiguity in the provisions of this Agreement or any dispute between or conflicting claims by or among the parties hereto or any other Person with respect to any funds or property deposited hereunder, such Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar in the case of (i) or each of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar in the case of (ii) shall be entitled, at its sole option and after prompt written notice to the Company and the Issuer Trust, to refrain from taking any action in respect of such uncertainty or ambiguous provision or to refuse to comply with any and all claims, demands or instructions with respect to such property or funds so long as such dispute or conflict shall continue, and the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall not be or become liable in any way to any of the parties hereto for its so refraining or refusal to comply with such conflicting claims, demands or instructions. The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall be entitled to refuse to act until either:

(a) such ambiguous provisions or conflicting or adverse claims or demands, as the case may be, shall have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or settled by agreement between the conflicting parties as evidenced in a writing satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar; or

(b) the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar shall have received security or an indemnity satisfactory to it sufficient to save it harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or reasonable out-of-pocket expense which it may incur by reason of its acting.

The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may in addition elect to commence an interpleader action or seek other judicial relief or orders as the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar may deem necessary. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, none of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar shall be required to take any action that it reasonably believes to be contrary to law or to the terms of this Agreement, or which it reasonably believes would subject it or any of its officers, employees or directors to liability.

Section 10.10 Resignation of Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and Securities Registrar.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent and Securities Registrar as provided below:

(i) the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Company and the Property Trustee;

(ii) the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may be removed at any time by the Company; and

(iii) if the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent or the Securities Registrar fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder in any material respect for a period of not less than 20 days after receiving written notice of such failure by the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees and such failure shall be continuing, the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar may be removed by the Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees;

provided that any Person at any time acting as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar may not resign or be removed in any one of those capacities without the consent of each party to this Collateral Agreement unless it resigns or is removed in all such capacities in which it is then acting. The Property Trustee or the Administrative Trustees shall promptly notify the Company of any removal of the Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 10.10. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar, as the case may be, which shall not be an Affiliate of the Issuer Trust. If no successor Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s, Securities Intermediary’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Registrar’s giving of notice of resignation or the Company’s or the Property Trustee’s giving notice of such removal, then the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar. The Collateral Agent, the Securities Intermediary, the Custodial Agent and the Securities Registrar shall each be a bank or a national banking association which has an office (or an agency office) in New York City with a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.

The retiring Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar shall, upon such succession, be discharged from its duties and obligations as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s, Securities Intermediary’s, Custodial Agent’s or Securities Registrar’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar. Any resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar hereunder, at a time when such Person is acting as the Collateral Agent, Securities Intermediary, Custodial Agent or Securities Registrar, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement as the simultaneous resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, Securities Registrar or Custodial Agent, as the case may be.

Section 10.11 Right to Appoint Agent or Advisor.

The Collateral Agent shall have the right to appoint agents or advisors in connection with any of its duties hereunder, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by, or in reliance upon the advice of, such agents or advisors selected in good faith.

Section 10.14 Statements and Confirmations.

The Securities Intermediary will, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of same, send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collateral Account and any financial assets credited thereto simultaneously to each of the Property Trustee and the Collateral Agent at their addresses for notices under this Agreement.
