(e) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to Holdings suspending its rights under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be in writing and (ii) may suspend the rights of Holdings under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 in part without suspending all such rights (to the extent that the First-Priority Collateral Agent exercises its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien) (it being understood that after the Discharge of First-Priority Obligations, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise such discretion)) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Remedies

SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into) and applicable Requirements of Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Holdings agrees to deliver each item of Pledged Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right generally to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial

Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Holdings agrees that, subject to applicable Requirements of Law, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into), the Collateral Agent shall have the right to Dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such Disposition of Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such Disposition shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Holdings, and Holdings hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that Holdings now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give Holdings 10 Business Days’ written notice (which Holdings agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Pledged Collateral pursuant to the foregoing paragraph. At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien); provided, after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise such discretion. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Pledged Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.01, any Second-Priority Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Holdings (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Second-Priority Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and Dispose of such property without further accountability to Holdings therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and Holdings shall not be entitled to the return of the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof

subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. To the extent provided in this Section 4.01, any sale that complies with such provisions shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. Subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Pledged Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, as well as any Pledged Collateral consisting of cash at any time when remedies are being exercised hereunder, in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Notes Indenture or Section 4.2 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, or, after a Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement has been entered into, in accordance with the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Pledged Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Pledged Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

SECTION 4.03. Securities Act, etc. In view of the position of Holdings in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any Disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Holdings understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to Dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of the Pledged Collateral could Dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to Dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the First-Priority Collateral Agent exercises its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien) (it being understood that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise such discretion after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations), (a) may

proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Holdings acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, to the extent that the First-Priority Collateral Agent exercises its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien) (it being understood that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise such discretion after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations), may in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

ARTICLE V.

Miscellaneous

SECTION 5.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 13.02 of the Notes Indenture, as such address may be changed by written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Issuer. All communications and notices hereunder to Holdings shall be given to it in care of the Issuer, with such notice to be given as provided in Section 13.02 of the Notes Indenture.

SECTION 5.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of Holdings hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Notes Indenture, any other Notes Indenture Document, any other agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes Indenture, any other Notes Indenture Document, or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Holdings in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance).

SECTION 5.03. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable Requirements of Law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable Requirements of Law that may be controlling and to be limited to the

extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law or regulation.

SECTION 5.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Second-Priority Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as not prohibited by this Agreement, the Notes Indenture or any other Notes Indenture Document. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released in accordance with Section 5.09 or Section 5.13, as applicable.

SECTION 5.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Holdings or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted successors and assigns. The Collateral Agent hereunder shall at all times be the same person that is the Trustee under the Notes Indenture. Written notice of resignation by the “Trustee” pursuant to the Notes Indenture shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the “Trustee” under the Notes Indenture by a successor “Trustee”, that successor “Trustee” shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent pursuant hereto.

SECTION 5.06. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder by Holdings and the Collateral Agent and other Indemnitees shall be indemnified by Holdings, in each case of this clause (a), mutatis mutandis, as provided in Section 7.07 of the Notes Indenture.

(b) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 5.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Notes Indenture Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Notes Indenture Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Second-Priority Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 5.06 shall be payable within fifteen days (or such longer period as the First-Priority Collateral Agent may reasonably agree to pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien); provided, after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations, such period shall be within fifteen days) of written demand therefor.

(c) The agreements in this Section 5.06 shall survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.07. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into), Holdings hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of Holdings for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable Requirements of Law, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of Holdings, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Pledged Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Pledged Collateral; (d) to sign the name of Holdings on any invoice or ▇▇▇▇ of lading relating to any of the Pledged Collateral; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Pledged Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Pledged Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Pledged Collateral; and (g) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Pledged Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Pledged Collateral for all purposes; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Second-Priority Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Holdings for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 5.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY PRINCIPLE OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THAT COULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW.

SECTION 5.09. Waivers; Amendment; Extension of Time.

(a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Second-Priority Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Indenture Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any other Second-Priority Secured Party hereunder and under the other Notes Indenture Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by Holdings therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.09, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on Holdings in any case shall entitle Holdings to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and Holdings, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article IX of the Notes Indenture and except as otherwise provided in the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into). The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an officer of Holdings as to whether any amendment contemplated by this Section 5.09(b) is permitted.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Applicable Collateral Agent may, to the extent that the First-Priority Collateral Agent exercises its discretion pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien) (it being understood that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to exercise such discretion after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations) grant extensions of time for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Issue Date for the perfection of security interests in the Pledged Collateral on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Issuer, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement or the other Notes Indenture Documents.

SECTION 5.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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 5.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 5.04. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 5.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents 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 5.13. Termination or Release.

(a) This Agreement and the pledges made by Holdings herein and all other security interests granted by Holdings hereby shall automatically terminate and/or be released, whether in whole or in part, in accordance with Article XI of the Notes Indenture, as applicable. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and Article XI of the Notes Indenture, the terms of Article XI of the Notes Indenture shall govern.

(b) If any of the Pledged Collateral shall become subject to the release provision set forth in Section 5.1 of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released from the security interest in such Pledged Collateral to the extent provided therein.

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5.13, subject to Article XI of the Notes Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to Holdings all documents that Holdings shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements), and will duly assign and transfer to Holdings such of the Pledged Collateral that may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.13 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. In connection with any release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) above, Holdings shall be permitted to take any action in connection therewith consistent with such release including, without limitation, the filing of Uniform Commercial Code termination statements. Subject to Article XI of the Notes Indenture, upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Issuer, in form and substance as such deliverables are accepted by the First-Priority Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Agreement (First Lien); provided, after the Discharge of First Priority Obligations, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to determine whether such deliverables are satisfactory, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of the Pledged Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement. Holdings agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (and its representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such release documents or instruments.

SECTION 5.14. Subject to Intercreditor Agreements.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second-Priority Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds) of any Pledged Collateral constituting Common Collateral are subject to the limitations and provisions of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement has been entered into, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Second-Priority Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds) of any Pledged Collateral constituting Common Collateral shall be subject to the limitations and provisions of the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement (if entered into) and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Second Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

SECTION 5.15. Authority of Collateral Agent. Holdings acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Second-Priority Secured Parties, be governed by the Notes Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and Holdings, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Second-Priority Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and Holdings shall not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

SECTION 5.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH 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 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 5.16.

SECTION 5.17. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) Holdings irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Collateral Agent, any Second-Priority Secured Party, or any Affiliate of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Notes Indenture Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 or in any other Notes Indenture Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or any Second-Priority Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Notes Indenture Document against Holdings or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which 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 the other Notes Indenture Documents in any New York State or federal court. 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.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement or any other Notes Indenture Document to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
