Securities Intermediary hereby agrees to establish and maintain the Accounts and appropriate records identifying the Collateral in the Accounts as pledged by Pledgor to Secured Party. Pledgor hereby authorizes Securities Intermediary to comply and Securities Intermediary hereby agrees to comply with all entitlement orders and all instructions directing disposition of Collateral, in each case, originated by Secured Party at any time with respect to the Accounts without further consent or direction from Pledgor or any other party.

ARTICLE III

COLLATERAL SERVICES

1. Control and Notice of Exclusive Control. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control or Notice of Consent Requirement from Secured Party, Securities Intermediary is authorized to act upon any Written Instructions, including entitlement orders, originated solely by Pledgor with respect to the transfer of Collateral from the Accounts. Secured Party may exercise sole and exclusive control of the Accounts and the Collateral held therein at any time by delivering to Securities Intermediary a Notice of Exclusive Control. Upon receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control, Securities Intermediary shall, without inquiry and in reliance upon such Notice of Exclusive Control, thereafter comply with Written Instructions (including entitlement

orders and other instructions) solely from Secured Party with respect to the Accounts. Secured Party represents, warrants and covenants solely to Pledgor that Secured Party will only issue a Notice of Exclusive Control if Secured Party has determined in good faith that an event of default or other similar event has occurred under the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement which entitles Secured Party to exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to the Collateral in the Accounts. Securities Intermediary will have no liability to Secured Party or Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or instructions (including entitlement orders) originated by Secured Party. Securities Intermediary will be fully protected in complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control (and any instructions, including entitlement orders, originated by Secured Party) whether or not Pledgor may allege that no rights of Secured Party exist to provide such instructions or to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control.

2. Collateral Removal; Substitutions. Until Securities Intermediary receives a Notice of Exclusive Control or Notice of Consent Requirement from Secured Party, Securities Intermediary is also authorized to act upon any Written Instructions from Pledgor to transfer Collateral from the Accounts or substitute other assets for any Collateral then held in the Accounts (“Substitute Collateral”). Secured Party may exercise a right to consent to any Written Instructions from Pledgor at any time by delivering to Securities Intermediary a Notice of Consent Requirement. Upon receipt of a Notice of Consent Requirement, Securities Intermediary is not authorized to act upon any Written Instructions originated solely by Pledgor and is authorized to act upon Written Instructions jointly from Secured Party and Pledgor. It shall be Pledgor’s sole responsibility to ensure that at all times the market value of Collateral in the Accounts (including Substitute Collateral) shall not be less than the amount Pledgor is required to maintain pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.

3. Payment of Proceeds. Securities Intermediary shall credit to the Accounts all proceeds received by it with respect to the Collateral, both before and after receipt of a Notice of Exclusive Control.

4. Subordination of Lien, Set-off. The parties agree that any security interest in or lien on, or right of set-off against any of the Collateral that Securities Intermediary may have now or in the future is hereby waived other than (a) any advances that Securities Intermediary may from time to time make to, or for the benefit of, Pledgor for purposes of clearing or settling purchases or sales of securities in the Accounts and (b) a any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts not described in clause (a) above owed to Securities Intermediary and incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or pursuant to the Custodian Agreement and the maintenance and operation of the Accounts or any other accounts established or maintained by Securities Intermediary pursuant to the Custodian Agreement, for which Securities Intermediary shall have a prior claim to the Collateral.

5. Statements. Securities Intermediary shall furnish or make available to Pledgor and Secured Party daily statements of activity and transactions affecting the Accounts and monthly Account statements within one business day of the end of each month or any activity or transaction during that month. Statements pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made available via an online system offered by Securities Intermediary or sent via S.W.I.F.T. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party may elect to receive statements electronically through the Internet to an email address specified by it for such purpose. By electing to use the Internet for this purpose, each of Pledgor and Secured Party acknowledges that such transmissions are not encrypted and therefore are insecure. Each of Pledgor and Secured Party further acknowledges that there are other risks inherent in communicating through the Internet such as the possibility of virus contamination and disruptions in service, and agrees that Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for any damage or liability suffered or incurred by Pledgor, Secured Party or any person claiming by or through Pledgor or Secured Party as a result of the use of such methods.

6. Notice of Adverse Claims. Upon receipt of written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against any Account or any portion of the Collateral held therein by an entity not party to this Agreement, Securities Intermediary shall use reasonable efforts to notify Secured Party and Pledgor as promptly as practicable under the circumstances.
