(c) Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take or omit to take any action deemed proper by the Collateral Agent and which action or omission is not inconsistent with the direction of the Secured Parties entitled to direct the Collateral Agent with respect to such action as provided for in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action that is discretionary with the Collateral Agent under the provisions of this Agreement or under any Collateral Document.

(c) In case the Collateral Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, remedy or power under this Agreement or any Collateral Document and the proceeding for the enforcement thereof shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Collateral Agent, then and in every such case the Trustors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, severally and respectively be restored to their former

positions and rights, under this Agreement and under such Collateral Document with respect to the Trust Estate and in all other respects, and thereafter all rights, remedies and powers of the Collateral Agent shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

Section 3.12. Limitation by Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article 3 may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Article 3 are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling in the premises and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will 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.

(c) The appointment and designation referred to in Section 6.07 (b) shall, after any required filing, be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all the facts therein recited, and this Agreement shall vest in such successor trustee or trustees, without any further act, deed or conveyance, all of the estate and title of its predecessor, and upon such filing for record the successor trustee or trustees shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Majority Holders, the Company or the successor trustee or trustees, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor or successors all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title of such predecessor or predecessors hereunder and shall deliver all Securities and moneys held by it to such successor trustee or trustees. Should any deed, conveyance or other instrument in writing from any Trustor be required by any successor trustee or trustees for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor trustee or trustees the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties, authority and title vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor trustee or trustees, any and all such deeds, conveyances and other instruments in writing shall, on request of such successor trustee or trustees, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by such Trustor.

(d) Any required filing for record of the instrument appointing a successor trustee or trustees as hereinabove provided shall be at the sole expense of the Trustors. The resignation of any trustee or trustees and the instrument or instruments removing any trustee or trustees, together with all other instruments, deeds and conveyances provided

for in this Article 6 shall, if permitted by law, be forthwith recorded, registered and filed by and at the expense of the Trustors, wherever this Agreement is recorded, registered and filed.

Section 6.08. Status of Successors to the Collateral Agent. Except as permitted by Section 6.07, every successor to the Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to Section 6.07 shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having power so to act, incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and having its principal corporate trust office within the 48 contiguous States, and shall also have (together with its corporate affiliates) capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $100,000,000, if there be such an institution with such capital, surplus and undivided profits willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms.

Section 6.09. Merger of the Collateral Agent. Any corporation into which the Collateral Agent may be merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any corporation to which the Collateral Agent shall transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the administration of this trust) shall be Collateral Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto.

Section 6.10. Co-Trustee, Separate Trustee. (a) If at any time or times it shall be necessary or prudent in order to conform to any law of any jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral shall be located, or the Collateral Agent shall be advised by counsel, satisfactory to it, that it is so necessary or advisable in the interest of the Secured Parties, or the Majority Holders shall in writing so request the Collateral Agent and the Trustors, or the Collateral Agent shall deem it desirable for its own protection in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Collateral Agent and the Trustors shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to constitute another bank or trust company, or one or more persons approved by the Collateral Agent and the Trustors, either to act as co-trustee or co-trustees of all or any of the Collateral, jointly with the Collateral Agent originally named herein or any successor or successors, or to act as separate trustee or trustees of any such property. In the event the Trustors shall not have joined in the execution of such instruments and agreements within 30 days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do, or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may act under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10 without the concurrence of the Trustors, and the Trustors hereby appoint the Collateral Agent as its agent and attorney to act for it under the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10 in either of such contingencies.

(b) Every separate trustee and every co-trustee, other than any trustee that may be appointed as successor to the Collateral Agent, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be appointed and act and be such, subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely:

(i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred upon the Collateral Agent in respect of the custody, control and management of moneys,

papers or Securities shall be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, or its successors hereunder;

(ii) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be conferred or imposed and exercised or performed by the Collateral Agent and such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly, as shall be provided in the instrument appointing such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the Collateral Agent shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees;

(iii) no power given hereby to, or that it is provided hereby may be exercised by, any such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees, shall be exercised hereunder by such co-trustee or co-trustees or separate trustee or separate trustees, except jointly with, or with the consent in writing of, the Collateral Agent, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding;

(iv) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other trustee hereunder; and

(v) the Trustors and the Collateral Agent, at any time by an instrument in writing, executed by them, may accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, and in that case, by an instrument in writing executed by the Trustors and the Collateral Agent jointly, may appoint a successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee, as the case may be, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding. In the event that the Trustors shall not have joined in the execution of any such instrument within ten days after the receipt of a written request from the Collateral Agent so to do, or in case an Actionable Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the power to accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee and to appoint a successor without the concurrence of the Trustors, the Trustors hereby appointing the Collateral Agent its agent and attorney to act for it in such connection in either of such contingencies. In the event that the Collateral Agent shall have appointed a separate trustee or separate trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees as above provided, it may at any time, by an instrument in writing, accept the resignation of or remove any such separate trustee or co-trustee, the successor to any such separate trustee or co-trustee to be appointed by the Trustors and the Collateral Agent, or by the Collateral Agent alone, as provided in this Section 6.10.

(i) no such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 6 or alter the duties or obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document or (y) amend or modify the definition of “Majority Holders” set forth in Section 1.02;

(ii) any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification that would only adversely affect the Obligations of a particular Series shall require only the written consent of the Representative with respect to such Series (given in accordance with the requirements (including the amendment provisions if applicable) of the Documents with respect to such Series); and

(iii) any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification that has the effect of releasing Collateral from the Liens granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents other than as provided for in Section 7.01 shall be effective only if made in accordance with the requirements of, and the amendment provisions set forth in, each of the Documents;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) no Trustor shall have any right to consent to or approve any supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement that is solely and exclusively an intercreditor matter that affects the Secured Parties and does not adversely affect the rights or obligations of any Trustor (including, without limitation, Sections 2.03 and 4.04), but the Collateral Agent shall promptly provide a copy of any such executed amendment, restatement, supplement, modification or waiver to the Trustors and (y) without the consent of any Secured Party, any Collateral Document may be supplemented, amended, restated, waived or otherwise modified (A) to the extent (and only to the extent) required to allow for any release of Collateral that is expressly permitted by Section 7.01 and (B) in the following circumstances:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in this Agreement, the Security Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument pursuant to which a Lien is granted securing any Obligations or under which rights or remedies with respect to such Liens are governed;

(2) to comply with (i) Article 5 of the Indenture or (ii) the comparable provisions of any New Documents; provided, in the case of clause (ii), that the applicable supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification does not adversely affect the Note Obligations;

Any such supplement, amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification shall be binding upon the Trustors, the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors.

(c) Any direction in writing delivered to the Collateral Agent by or with the written consent of the Majority Holders (a) shall set forth the aggregate amount of Obligations owed by the Trustors to the Secured Parties represented by the Indenture Trustee and by each New Representative under the Note Documents or the applicable New Documents, as the case may be, calculated as of the date of determination and in accordance with the definition of Majority Holders hereunder, and (b) shall be binding upon all of the Secured Parties, unless the matter which is the subject of the applicable vote requires pursuant to the terms hereof the consent of all Secured Parties.
