under such documents and to exercise such powers as are
reasonably incidental
thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Secured

Agent under such

2.2 Actions; Direction of Administrative Agents.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Collateral Agent
shall
take, or refrain from taking, any action as directed in writing
(i) by the
applicable Administrative Agent as expressly designated in the
Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to such
action, (ii)
collectively by the Administrative Agents or (iii) in the
absence of such
events, (A) until the payment in full of the Senior Claims, by
the Senior
Agent and (B) thereafter, the Junior Agent.
(b) From and after the receipt of any Notice of Actionable
Default
and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable
Default, the
Collateral Agent shall take, or refrain from taking any action,
as directed in
writing (i) until the payment in full of the Senior Claims, by
the Senior
Agent and (ii) thereafter, the Junior Agent. Each Administrative
Agent, in the
event all of the Events of Default giving rise to any Notice of
Actionable
Default issued by such Administrative Agent has been cured or
waived or
otherwise has ceased to exist pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
shall withdraw
such Notice of Actionable Default by written notice to the
Collateral Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the payment in full of the
Senior Claims
and except for any Notice of Actionable Default issued by the
Junior Agent
under Section 5.2 (Second Lien Financial Covenants), the Junior
Agent shall
not issue any Notice of Actionable Default without the consent
of the Senior
Agent, and the Senior Agent may, and upon instruction from the
Requisite
Lenders shall, withdraw any Notice of Actionable Default
previously issued by
either Administrative Agent.
(c) Each Administrative Agent shall promptly send to the
other
Administrative Agent a copy of any written directions given by
such
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided,
however, that the
failure to comply with this Section 2.2(c) shall not impair any
of the rights,
powers and remedies of such Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent under
any Collateral Document.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or
in
the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to take,
or refrain from taking, any action (i) to the extent the
Collateral Agent has
received a written advice from its counsel that such action is
in conflict
with any applicable law, Collateral Document or order of any
Governmental
Authority or (ii) with respect to which the Collateral Agent, in
its
reasonable judgment, has not received adequate security or
indemnity hereunder
or under the Collateral Documents.
(e) Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall impair the right of
the
Collateral Agent in its discretion to take or omit to take any
action which is
deemed proper by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral
Documents and which
it believes in good faith is not inconsistent with any direction
of the
applicable Administrative Agent delivered pursuant to this
Section 2.2;
provided, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any
obligation to
take any discretionary action under the provisions of this
Agreement or any
other Collateral Document unless so directed by the applicable
Administrative
Agent.
2.3 Limitation on Duties.
(a) The Collateral Agent shall be obliged to perform only such
duties
as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or any other
Collateral
Document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into any
Collateral Document against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral
Agent shall,
upon receipt of any written direction pursuant to Section 2.2,
exercise the
rights and powers vested in it by any Collateral Document with
respect to such
direction, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable with
respect to any
action taken or omitted in accordance with such direction. If
the Collateral
Agent shall seek directions from any Administrative Agent or the
Lenders with
respect to any action under any Collateral Document, the
Collateral Agent
shall not be required to take, or refrain from taking, such
action until it
shall have received such direction.
(b) The Collateral Agent's sole duty with respect to the
custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its
possession
shall be to deal with it in the same manner as with similar
property for its
own account. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent
hereunder and under
the Collateral Documents are solely to protect the Collateral
Agent's interest
in the Collateral (for itself and for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) and,
except as expressly set forth herein, shall not impose any duty
upon the
Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers. The Collateral
Agent shall be
accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a
result of the
exercise of such powers at the direction of the applicable
Administrative
Agent, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers,
directors,
employees or agents shall be responsible to any Secured Party or
any Loan
Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its
own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
2.4 Resignation and Removal.
(a) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving
written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Collateral
Agent may be
removed at any time by the Administrative Agents, acting
jointly, or the
Requisite Lenders by giving written notice thereof to the
Collateral Agent and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Administrative Agents,
acting jointly, or the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a
successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent
shall have been
so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
30 days
following the notice of resignation or removal, then the
retiring Collateral
Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor
Collateral
Agent. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the
prior written
approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably
withheld or
delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during
the
continuance of an Event of Default).
(b) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral
Agent by
a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent
shall succeed
to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges
and duties of
the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent
shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement,
the Credit
Agreement and the Collateral Documents. Promptly after any
retiring Collateral
Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent,
the retiring
Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably
necessary to
assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as
Collateral Agent under
the Collateral Documents and to protect and maintain the Liens
held by the
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
(including delivery of
any Collateral in its possession to the successor Collateral
Agent). After
such resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue
to have the
benefit of Section 8 as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it
while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Credit
Agreement and
the Collateral Documents.
(c) If no Person has accepted appointment as a successor
Collateral
Agent within 30 days following the notice of resignation or
removal, the
retiring Collateral Agent's resignation or removal shall
nevertheless
thereupon become effective, and the Administrative Agents,
jointly, shall
assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Collateral
Agent
hereunder until such time, if any, as the Administrative Agents
or the
Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent as
provided for
above.
Section 3. Priority of Liens
3.1 Lien Subordination. Notwithstanding the date, manner or
order of
grant, attachment or perfection of any Junior Lien in respect of
any
Collateral or of any Senior Lien in respect of any Collateral
and
notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable law,
any Collateral
Document, any alleged or actual defect or deficiency in any of
the foregoing
or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Junior Agent, on
behalf of each
Junior Secured Party, in respect of such Collateral hereby
agrees that:
(a) any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of
how
acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law,
subrogation or
otherwise, shall be and shall remain senior and prior to any
Junior Lien in
respect of such Collateral (whether or not such Senior Lien is
subordinated to
any Lien securing any other obligation); and
(b) any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of
how
acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law,
subrogation or
otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to
any Senior Lien
in respect of such Collateral.
3.2 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. In respect of any
Collateral,
the Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in
respect of such
Collateral agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right
to:
(a) contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in
any
proceeding (including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding),
the priority,
validity or enforceability of any Senior Lien on such
Collateral; or
(b) demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the
benefit
of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or similar right which
it may have in
respect of such Collateral or the Senior Liens on such
Collateral, except to
the extent that such rights are expressly granted in this
Agreement.
3.3 New Liens.
(a) The parties hereto agree that, prior to the payment in full
of
the Secured Claims, any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party
securing any
Secured Claim (and which asset is not also subject to a Lien
securing all of
the Secured Claims in accordance with the priorities set forth
herein) shall
immediately be released upon demand by any Agent or assigned to
the Collateral
Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to the
priorities set forth in
Section 3.1, and, at all times prior to such release or
assignment, the
Secured Party to whom such Lien was granted shall be acting as a
sub-agent of
the Collateral Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Lien
on such
asset.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby agrees not to grant, or to permit any
of
its Subsidiaries to grant, except as expressly permitted by the
Credit
Agreement, any Lien on any of its respective assets securing the
Senior Claims
or the Junior Claims, as the case may be, to any Person other
than the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to
the priorities
set forth in Section 3.1.
3.4 Separate Liens. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges
and
agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Collateral
Documents
constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii)
because of, among
other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the
Junior Claims in
respect of any Collateral are fundamentally different from the
Senior Claims
in respect of such Collateral, and the Junior Claims and Senior
Claims in
respect of any Collateral must be separately classified in any
Insolvency or
Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the
parties as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held
that, in respect
of any Collateral, the Junior Claims and the Senior Claims in
respect of such
Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than
separate classes of
senior and junior secured claims), then the Junior Secured
Parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if
there were
separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the
Loan Parties
in respect of any Collateral (with the effect that, to the
extent that the
aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this
purpose ignoring all
claims held by the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured
Parties shall
be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to
them in respect
of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all
amounts owing in
respect of post-petition interest before any distribution is
made in respect
of the claims held by the Junior Secured Parties with respect to
the
Collateral, with the Junior Secured Parties hereby acknowledging
and agreeing
to turn over to the Senior Secured Parties amounts otherwise
received or
receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the
intent of this
sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the
claim or
recovery of the Junior Secured Parties).
Section 4. Exercise of Remedies
4.1 Remedies.
(a) Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims, in
respect of
any Collateral, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation
Proceeding has
been commenced by or against any Loan Party:
(i) no Junior Secured Party shall (or direct the Collateral
Agent to) (A) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or
remedies
with respect to such Collateral, (B) institute any action or
proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, including
any
action of foreclosure, contest or protest, (C) object to any
foreclosure proceeding or action brought by Collateral Agent or
any
Senior Secured Party or any other exercise of any rights and
remedies
relating to such Collateral under the Collateral Documents
or
otherwise, or (D) object to the forbearance by the Senior
Secured
Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding
or
action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating
to
such Collateral; and
(ii) the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured
Parties,
shall have the exclusive right to (and the exclusive right to
direct
the Collateral Agent to) enforce rights, exercise remedies and
make
determinations regarding release, disposition (including
under
ss.363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code) or restrictions with respect
to
such Collateral without any consultation with, or the consent
of, any
Junior Secured Party.
(b) In exercising rights and remedies with respect to any
Collateral,
the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, may
enforce (and
direct the Collateral Agent to enforce) the provisions of the
Senior Documents
and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such
manner as they
may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such
exercise and
enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights of an
agent
appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of such
Collateral upon
foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or
disposition,
and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender
under the UCC
of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under
any Bankruptcy
Law.
(c) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party,
agrees
that, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims, it will
not take or
receive any Collateral or any proceeds of such Collateral in
connection with
the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with
respect to such
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
prior to the
payment in full of the Senior Claims, the sole right of the
Junior Agent and
the Junior Secured Parties with respect to any Collateral shall
be the right
to receive a share of the proceeds thereof pursuant to Section
5.1.
(d) The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party,
(i)
agrees that neither it nor any Junior Secured Party will oppose
or object to
or take any other action that would hinder any exercise of
remedies undertaken
by any Senior Secured Party in respect of any Collateral under
the Collateral
Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or
other disposition
of such Collateral, whether by foreclosure, under ss.363 of the
Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise, and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it
or any Junior
Secured Party may have as a junior creditor or otherwise to
object to the
manner in which any Senior Secured Party may seek to enforce or
collect the
Senior Claims or the Liens granted in such Collateral.
4.2 Exercise of Remedies as Unsecured Creditors.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Junior Secured
Party may
exercise its rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor
against the Loan
Parties in accordance with the terms of the Junior Documents and
applicable
law. In the event any Junior Secured Party becomes a judgment
lien creditor in
respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its
rights as an
unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to
any Senior
Lien on such Collateral on the same basis and to the same extent
as the other
Liens on such Collateral securing the Junior Claims are
subordinated to those
securing the Senior Claims under this Agreement. Nothing in this
Agreement
modifies any rights or remedies which any Senior Secured Party
in respect of
any Collateral may have with respect to such Collateral.
Section 5. Application of Payments; Subrogation
5.1 Proceeds of Collateral. From and after the receipt by
the
Collateral Agent of any Notice of Actionable Default and prior
to the
withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default,
proceeds of any
Collateral received by any party hereto shall be applied to the
Secured Claims
as follows:
(a) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion
of
the Senior Claims that the Senior Agent may have advanced on
behalf of any
Senior Secured Party for which the Senior Agent has not then
been reimbursed
by such Senior Secured Party or the Loan Parties;
(b) second, to pay Secured Claims in respect of any expense
reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Senior Agent and
the Collateral
Agent;
(c) third, to pay Secured Claims in respect of any expense
reimbursements or indemnities then due to the other Senior
Secured Parties;
(d) fourth, to pay Secured Claims in respect of any fees then
due to
the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent;
(e) fifth, to pay Secured Claims in respect of any fees then due
to
the other Senior Secured Parties;
(f) sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of
all
Senior Claims;
(g) seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments for all
Senior
Claims (and, when applicable, to provide cash collateral for
letters of credit
or Interest Rate Contracts constituting Senior Claims);
(h) eighth, to pay all other Senior Claims;
(i) ninth, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion
of
the Junior Claims that the Junior Agent may have advanced on
behalf of any
Junior Secured Party for which the Junior Agent has not then

by such Junior Secured Party or the Loan Parties;
