In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent so requires by notice in writing to the relevant U.S. Institution Subsidiary (it being understood that the exercise of remedies by the Secured Parties in connection with an Event of Default under Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a request by the Collateral Agent for the purposes of this sentence and in such circumstances, no such written notice shall be required), all Proceeds received by each U.S. Institution Subsidiary consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items shall be held by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary (duly endorsed by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by a U.S. Institution Subsidiary in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.
5.4 Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after

receipt in the order specified in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the 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.
5.5 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC or any other applicable law or in equity and also may with notice to the relevant U.S. Institution Subsidiary, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Lender or elsewhere for cash or on credit or for future delivery at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any U.S. Institution Subsidiary, and each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it 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 and any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Secured Obligations. Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to each U.S. Institution Subsidiary of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby waives any claim against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent, at places which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such U.S. Institution Subsidiary’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.5 in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.4.

5.6 Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Secured Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any U.S. Institution Subsidiary and without notice to or further assent by any U.S. Institution Subsidiary, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, the Letters of Credit and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith and the Secured Hedge Agreements and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, or, in the case of any Secured Hedge Agreement, the Hedge Bank party thereto) may deem advisable from time to time, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Secured Obligations or for this Collateral Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against a U.S. Institution Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on such U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any other Person, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Borrower or any U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any other Person or any release of any Borrower or any U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any other Person shall not relieve any U.S. Institution Subsidiary in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any U.S. Institution Subsidiary not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any U.S. Institution Subsidiary. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
5.7 License to Use Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Patents, Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Trademarks and Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Copyrights. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies hereunder at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent such U.S. Institution Subsidiary has the right to do so, an irrevocable, assignable, non-exclusive license to use, license or sublicense any of the Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Patents, Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Trademarks and Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Copyrights now owned or held, or hereafter acquired, by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, wherever the same may be located. To the extent permitted, such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.
6. The Collateral Agent.

6.1 Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary and in the name of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Collateral Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Collateral Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary or otherwise, without assent by such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, to do any or all of the following, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent of its intent to do so:
(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
(ii) in the case of any Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Patents, Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Trademarks or Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Copyrights, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interest in such Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Patents, Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Trademarks or Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Copyrights;
(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.5, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;
(v) obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by any U.S. Institution Subsidiary pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Credit Agreement;
(vi) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;

(vii) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;
(viii) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral;
(ix) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;
(x) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any U.S. Institution Subsidiary with respect to any Collateral (with each U.S. Institution Subsidiary’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);
(xi) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with each U.S. Institution Subsidiary’s consent to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral);
(xii) assign any Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Patents, Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Trademarks or Pledged U.S. Institution Subsidiary Copyrights, throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and
(xiii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and each U.S. Institution Subsidiary’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Collateral Agreement, all as fully and effectively as any U.S. Institution Subsidiary might do.
Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that (i) it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) no United States “intent-to-use” trademark or servicemark applications shall be assigned to the Collateral Agent or any third party until an amendment to allege use or a statement of use has been filed under 15 U.S.C. § 1501(d) and accepted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, except to a successor to the business (or the portion of the business) to which the mark pertains, if that business is ongoing and existing; and (iii) it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1

(a) that would constitute direction or causing the direction of the management and policies of the Borrower or any U.S. Institution Subsidiary.
(b) If any U.S. Institution Subsidiary fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due ABR Loans under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant U.S. Institution Subsidiary, shall be payable by each U.S. Institution Subsidiary to the Collateral Agent on demand.
(d) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Collateral Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Collateral Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.
6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to each U.S. Institution Subsidiary for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Collateral 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 Collateral Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement, and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and each U.S. Institution Subsidiary, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively

presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no U.S. Institution Subsidiary shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
6.4 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest and all obligations of each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional.
6.5 Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.
(a) This Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each U.S. Institution Subsidiary and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until Payment in Full, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement and any Secured Hedge Agreement the Credit Parties may be free from any Secured Obligations.
(b) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder if it ceases to be a Credit Party, subject to the requirements of Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral shall automatically be released (i) to the extent provided in Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in such Collateral pursuant to Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement. Any such release in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral shall result in such Collateral being sold, transferred or disposed of, as applicable, free and clear of the Lien and Security Interest created hereby.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 6.5 (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each U.S. Institution Subsidiary, at such U.S. Institution Subsidiary’s expense, all documents that such U.S. Institution Subsidiary shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
6.6 Reinstatement. Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary further agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability

hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary in respect of the amount of such payment.
6.7 Further Assurances. Subject to Section 3.2(c) hereof, each U.S. Institution Subsidiary agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of such U.S. Institution Subsidiary, it will execute or otherwise authorize the filing of any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents), which may be required under any applicable law, or which the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order (x) to perfect and protect any pledge, assignment of security interest granted hereby (including the priority thereof) or (y) to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
7. Collateral Agent As Agent.
(a) Citi has been appointed to act as the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement, by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Collateral Agreement and the Credit Agreement, provided that the Collateral Agent shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any remedies provided for in Section 5 in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 7(a), each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the applicable Lenders and Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 7(a).
(b) The Collateral Agent shall at all times be the same Person that is the Collateral Agent under the Credit Agreement. Written notice of resignation by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as Collateral Agent under this Collateral Agreement; removal of the Collateral Agent shall also constitute removal under this Collateral Agreement; and appointment of a Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement shall also constitute appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Collateral Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent under Section 13.9 of the Credit Agreement by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Collateral Agreement, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agent under this Collateral Agreement shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, securities and other items of Collateral held hereunder, together

with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under this Collateral Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent or otherwise authorize the filing of such amendments to financing statements and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the Security Interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Collateral Agreement. After any retiring or removed Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Collateral Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Collateral Agreement while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have any duty whatsoever with respect to any Secured Party that is a counterparty to a Secured Hedge Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Obligations, unless it shall have received written notice in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent from any U.S. Institution Subsidiary or any such Secured Party as to the existence and terms of the applicable Secured Hedge Agreement.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Collateral Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected U.S. Institution Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 14.2 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each U.S. Institution Subsidiary shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 14.2 of the Credit Agreement.
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(a) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary agrees to pay any and all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by any Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Secured Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, each U.S. Institution Subsidiary under this Collateral Agreement.
(b) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Collateral Agreement.
(c) Each U.S. Institution Subsidiary agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Collateral Agreement to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 14.5 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Collateral Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no U.S. Institution Subsidiary may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Collateral Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement.
8.6 Counterparts. This Collateral Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Collateral Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Collateral Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Collateral Agent and the Borrower.
8.7 Severability. Any provision of this Collateral Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto 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.

8.8 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Collateral Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional U.S. Institution Subsidiary as a party to this Collateral Agreement shall not require the consent of any other U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereunder. The rights and obligations of each U.S. Institution Subsidiary hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new U.S. Institution Subsidiary as a party to this Collateral Agreement.
8.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS COLLATERAL AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
