2.01       Priority of Liens . The Collateral Agent and the Holders hereby agree that the security interests and liens granted to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents and any claims of the Collateral Agent and/or Holders under guaranties executed by Guarantors shall be treated, as among the Holders, as having equal priority and shall, except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 3.02, at all times be shared by the Holders as provided herein regardless of any claim or defense (including any claims under the fraudulent transfer, preference or similar avoidance provisions of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other applicable Governmental Rules affecting the rights of creditors generally) to which the Collateral Agent or any Holders may be entitled or subject.

2.02       Custody of Collateral . From and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, if any Holder acquires custody, control or possession of any Collateral other than any proceeds thereof distributed to such Holder pursuant to the terms of any Note Document, then such Holder shall promptly cause such Collateral to be delivered to, or put in the custody, possession or control of, the Collateral Agent for disposition or distribution in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. From and after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and until such time as the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence have been complied with, such Holder shall be deemed to hold such Collateral in trust for the parties entitled thereto under this Agreement.

2.03       Additional Collateral or Guaranties . None of the Holders shall accept a security interest in, or a Lien on, any collateral for the Obligations other than such Holders beneficial interest in the security interest in, and Lien on, the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents; provided , however , that nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed as prohibiting the opening and maintenance of deposit accounts for the account of the Company or Guarantors in the ordinary course of business.

Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of a Direction Notice, the Collateral Agent shall seek to enforce the Collateral Documents and to realize upon the

Collateral in accordance with such Direction Notice; provided , however , that the Collateral Agent shall not follow any Direction Notice if the Collateral Agent reasonably determines on the basis of an opinion of counsel that such Direction Notice is in conflict with any provisions of any applicable Governmental Rule, this Agreement or any of the relevant Collateral Documents, and the Collateral Agent shall not, under any circumstances, be liable to any Holder, the Company or any other Person for following a Direction Notice.

2.05       Remedies of the Holders . Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Required Holders, no Holder, individually or together with any other Holder, shall have the right to, nor shall it, exercise or enforce any of the rights, powers or remedies which the Collateral Agent is authorized to exercise or enforce under this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents.

 

2.06

Holder Information .

Such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Proceeds Account and shall be distributed from time to time by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 3.02.

(b)       Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the following proceeds, payments and amounts (collectively, the Proceeds ) shall be deposited and held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Proceeds Account and shall be distributed from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Holders in accordance with Section 3.02:

(i)        any proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral through the enforcement of the Collateral Documents received by the Collateral Agent or any Holder; and

(ii)       any amounts held in the Collateral Proceeds Account at the time an Event of Default occurs.

Each Holder agrees to deliver any Proceeds to the Collateral Agent within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Proceeds, or if later (in the case of clause (ii)), within three (3) Business Days of being advised of the occurrence of an Event of Default. Until such time as the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence have been complied with, such Holder shall be deemed to hold such Proceeds in trust for the parties entitled thereto under this Agreement.

3.02       Distribution of Proceeds . The Collateral Agent, at the request of the Holders, shall distribute the Proceeds which are held in the Collateral Proceeds Account in accordance with Section 12 of the Security Agreement, it being understood, however, that the Collateral Agent may deduct from any distribution the amount of all Collateral Agents reimbursable fees and expenses that have not been paid by the Company or the Holders pursuant to Section 4.03 or otherwise. The Collateral Agent shall make such distributions as promptly as reasonably practicable after the deposit of any Proceeds into the Collateral Proceeds Account and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof.

3.03       Distributions Recovered . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in each case in which any proceeds (or the value thereof) or payments are recovered as a preferential or otherwise voidable payment (whether by a trustee in bankruptcy or otherwise) from the party which distributed those proceeds to another party or parties under this Agreement (the Distributor ), each party to whom any of those proceeds were ultimately distributed (a Distributee ) shall, upon the Distributors notice of the recovery to the Distributee, return to the Distributor an amount equal to the Distributees ratable share of the amount recovered, together with a ratable share of interest thereon to the extent the Distributor is required to pay interest thereon computed on the amount to be returned from the date of the recovery. For purposes of this Agreement, proceeds means any payment (whether made voluntarily or involuntary) from any source, including any offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, any security (including any guaranty or any collateral) or otherwise.

SECTION IV.
