     (iii) the Collateral Agent may deliver such notices and instructions in accordance with Control Agreements covering Deposit Accounts and/or Securities Accounts. (Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Event, the Collateral Agent may not deliver any notices or instructions in accordance with the Control Agreements covering Deposit Accounts and/or Securities Accounts) In addition, whenever any Grantor shall receive any cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment relating to any Collateral (including any Proceeds of any Collateral), subject to the terms of any Permitted Liens, such Grantor agrees that it will, within one (1) Business Day of such receipt, deposit all such items of payment into the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary, and until such Grantor shall deposit such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in the Collateral Account or in a Deposit Account at a Controlled Depositary, such Grantor shall hold such cash, money, checks or any other similar items of payment in trust for the Secured Parties and as property of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent shall have the right to transfer or direct the transfer of the balance of each Deposit Account to the Collateral Account. All such Collateral and Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4;
     (iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Distributions made in respect of any Investment Property, any Partnership/LLC Interests or any other Proceeds paid in respect of any Investment Property or any Partnership/LLC Interests, and any or all of any Investment Property or any Partnership/LLC Interests shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (A) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Investment Property or such Partnership/LLC Interests at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members of the relevant Issuers and (B) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property or such Partnership/LLC Interests as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right (but not the obligation) to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property or any and all of the Partnership/LLC Interests upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate, partnership or company structure of any Issuer or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property or such Partnership/LLC Interests, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property or any and all of the Partnership/LLC Interests with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; but the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. In furtherance thereof, each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer with respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property and Partnership/LLC Interests to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an
Security Agreement

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying following receipt of such notice and prior to notice that such Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends, payments or other Distributions with respect to any Investment Property or any Partnership/LLC Interests directly to the Collateral Agent;
     (v) the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to (but shall not be required to): (A) proceed to perform any and all obligations of the applicable Grantor under any Material Contract and exercise all rights of such Grantor thereunder as fully as such Grantor itself could, (B) do all other acts which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or proper to protect its Security Interest granted hereunder; provided, that such acts are not inconsistent with or in violation of the terms of any of the Indenture, of the other Indenture Documents or Applicable Law, and (C) sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Material Contract in accordance with the Indenture, the other Indenture Documents and Applicable Law, subject, however, to the prior approval of each other party to such Material Contract, to the extent required under the Material Contract; and
     (c) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.2(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends, payments or other Distributions made in respect of any Investment Property and any Partnership/LLC Interests, to the extent permitted in the Indenture, and to exercise all voting and other corporate, company and partnership rights with respect to any Investment Property and any Partnership/LLC Interests; provided that, no vote shall be cast or other corporate, company and partnership right exercised or other action taken in violation of the Indenture, this Agreement or any other Indenture Document.
     SECTION 5.3 Registration Rights; Further Approvals. (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Restricted Securities Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Restricted Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
     (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Restricted Securities Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing Grantors are not required to register the

Restricted Securities Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities law.
     (c) In connection with the exercise of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties, it may be necessary to obtain the prior consent, waiver or approval of one or more Governmental Authorities to any transfer, assignment or other disposition of Collateral or with respect to the operation of any Collateral (including any Licenses issued by any Governmental Authority), including, without limitation, the FCC and any applicable PUC. Each Grantor hereby agrees, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, that it will execute, deliver and file, and hereby appoints (to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law) the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and file, on each Grantor’s behalf and in the applicable Grantor’s name, all applications, certificates, filings, instruments and other documents (including, without limitation, an application for an assignment or transfer of control or ownership) that may be necessary to obtain such consents or approvals.
     (d) Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.3 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.3 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred.
     SECTION 5.4 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the Collateral or any Proceeds of the Collateral in payment in whole or in part of the Obligations in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.
     SECTION 5.5 Waiver, Deficiency. Each Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any Applicable Law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (H) 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 such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests of the Secured Parties therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
     (b) If any Grantor 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 in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
     (c) The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions taken pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest then accruing on the Notes, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.
     (d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof in accordance with Section 6.1(a). All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.
     SECTION 6.2 Duty of Collateral Agent. The sole duty of the Collateral Agent 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. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other 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 Grantor 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 other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Collateral Agent, and the other Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other 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 any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     SECTION 6.3 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this 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 Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured
Security Agreement

Parties, be governed by the Indenture and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

     SECTION 7.7 Injunctive Relief. (a) The Grantors recognize that, in the event the Grantors fail to perform, observe or discharge any of their obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Indenture Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties. Therefore, the Grantors agree that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, at the option of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
