24

 
 
(b)           Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 10 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 10, promptly notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability under paragraph (a) above unless and to the extent that such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of material rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) above.  The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Parties in any action for which indemnification is sought.  An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action.  In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, unless an Indemnified Party elects to engage separate counsel because such Indemnified Party believes that its interests are not aligned with the interests of another Indemnified Party or that a conflict of interest might result.  An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

The filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 constitute all of the filings and other actions necessary to perfect all security interests granted hereunder.

(b)           the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the Liens created hereby.
 
5.5           Investment Property.  (a) If any Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate, option or rights in respect of the equity interests of any Investment Property Issuer, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Equity, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Agent, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and deliver the same forthwith to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required, together with an undated instrument of transfer covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to the terms hereof, as additional Collateral for the Obligations.  Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Investment Property Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Obligations.  In case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Investment Property or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Investment Property Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional Collateral for the Obligations.  If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property shall be received by any Grantor, such Grantor shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Collateral Agent, hold such money or property in trust for the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, as additional Collateral for the Obligations.

(b)           The Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Investment Property at any meeting of holders of the equity interests of the relevant Investment Property Issuer or Issuers or otherwise.  Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall (i) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted by the Indenture) other than, with respect to Investment Property not constituting Pledged Equity or Pledged Notes, any such action which is not prohibited by the Indenture, (ii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, or (iii) enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of the Investment Property or Proceeds thereof.
 
5.6           Depositary and Other Deposit Accounts.  The Grantors shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a revised version of Schedule 4 showing any changes thereto within 5 days of any such change.  No Grantor shall open new depositary or other deposit accounts or securities accounts unless such Grantor shall have received the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent to open any such new deposit accounts or securities accounts.  Each Grantor hereby authorizes the financial institutions at which such Grantor maintains a deposit account or securities account to provide the Collateral Agent with such information with respect to such deposit account or securities account as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request, and each Grantor hereby consents to such information being provided to the Collateral Agent.  Each Grantor will, to the extent necessary to maintain the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, cause each financial institution at which such Grantor maintains a depositary, other deposit account or securities account to enter into a bank agency or other similar agreement with the Collateral Agent and such Grantor, in a form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, in order to give the Collateral Agent “control” (as defined in the UCC) of such account.  If any Grantor or any director, officer, employee, agent of such Grantor, or any other Person acting for or in concert with such Grantor shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral, such Grantor and each such Person shall receive all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from the funds of such Grantor, and shall forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, turn such items over to the Collateral Agent.  The Grantors, jointly and severally, agree to pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with opening and maintaining each Account, control agreements with respect thereto, and depositing for collection by the Collateral Agent any check or other item of payment received by the Collateral Agent on account of the Obligations.  All of such fees, costs and expenses shall constitute Obligations hereunder and shall be payable to the Collateral Agent by the Grantors upon demand.

6.1           Investment Property.  (a) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash, dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Investment Property, which shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise its rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, any or all of the Investment Property shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Investment Property Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Investment Property 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 shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.
 
(b)           Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Investment Property Issuer of any Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder over which it has control or the ability to influence to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Collateral Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) 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 Investment Property Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Investment Property directly to the Collateral Agent.
 
 
E-12

 
 
6.2           Proceeds to be Turned Over to the Collateral Agent.  All Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other cash equivalent items and all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Equity and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent  for the benefit of the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required).  All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account maintained pursuant to the Collateral Account Control Agreement.  All Proceeds, while held by the Collateral Agent in the Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties), shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
 
6.3           Code and Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), 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 elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk.  The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.  Each Grantor 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 Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.  The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.3, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the Trustee for the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.
 
 
E-13

 
 
6.4           Private Sales of Pledged Equity.
 
(a)           Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, 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 Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Investment Property 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 Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.4 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.  Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the 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 6.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees 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 under the Indenture.
 
6.5           Waiver; Deficiency.  Each Grantor waives and agrees not to assert any rights or privileges which it may acquire under Section 9-626 of the UCC.  Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations in full and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
 
Section 7
Collateral Agent.
 
7.1           Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.  (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints 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 Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of and at the expense of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:
 
(i)           in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable 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 Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
 
 
E-14

 
 
(ii)           discharge Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral;
 
(iii)           execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.3 or 6.4, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and
 
(iv)           (1) 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; (2) 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; (3) 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; (4) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (5) 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; (6) vote any right or interest with respect to any Investment Property; and (7) 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 Collateral Agent’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
 
Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
 
(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.
 
(c)           Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  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.
 
 
E-15

 
 
7.2           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 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 nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any 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 hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement or in relation hereto.  The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder.  The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or in respect of and makes no representation as to the form, character, collectibility, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any Collateral.
 
7.3           Collateral Agency.  (a) None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Collateral Agent to perform, or be responsible or liable for the manner of performance of, any obligations of any Grantor hereunder.  The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to (i) file any financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby or (ii) monitor the effectiveness or perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or the performance of any Grantor hereunder, any service provider or any other party to the Notes Documents, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the appointment of any service provider, or the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties.  The Collateral Agent shall not make or be deemed to have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Collateral or the validity or sufficiency of any assignment or other disposition of the Collateral.
 
(b)           The Issuer agrees to pay to the Collateral Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Issuer and the Collateral Agent shall agree from time to time.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, protections and immunities afforded to the Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, mutatis mutandis, as if such rights, protections and immunities were set forth herein.
 
(d)           Any Person into which the Collateral Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Collateral Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the collateral agency business of the Collateral Agent, shall be the successor of the Collateral Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Agreement.
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Agent shall only take any actions or provide any consents if directed by the Trustee.
 
(f)           The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.3 shall survive the Discharge of Notes Obligations, the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.

During the period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in the Note:
 
(a)           The Collateral Agent, at the written direction and in the sole discretion of the Holder, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth herein, shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not said Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and the Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such right);
 
(b)           The Collateral Agent, at the written direction and in the sole discretion of the Holder, may make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable by the Holder with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
 
 
F-10

 
 
(c)           The Collateral Agent, at the written direction and in the sole discretion of the Holder, in its name or in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, may demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
 
(d)           The Collateral Agent may, at the written direction and in the sole discretion of the Holder, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the Pledgor of the time and place (which notice the Pledgor acknowledges as reasonable and sufficient), with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be or shall thereafter come into the possession, custody or control of the Collateral Agent or any of its agents, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Collateral, at such place or places as the Collateral Agent shall determine, and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, at public or private sale, without demand of performance or notice of intention to effect any such disposition or of time or place thereof (except such notice as is required above or by applicable statute and cannot be waived) and the Collateral Agent or anyone else may be the purchaser, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Collateral so disposed of at any public sale (or, to the extent permitted by law, at any private sale), and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any right or equity of redemption (statutory or otherwise), of the Pledgor, any such demand, notice or right and equity being hereby expressly waived and released.  Unless prohibited by applicable law, the Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned;
 
(e)           The Collateral Agent may exercise all rights, powers and privileges to the same extent as the Pledgor is entitled to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to the Pledged Securities;
 
(f)           The Collateral Agent shall not be required to take steps necessary or advisable to preserve any rights against prior parties to any of the Collateral;
 
(g)           In enforcing any rights hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to resort to any particular security, right or remedy through foreclosure or otherwise or to proceed in any particular order of priority, or otherwise act or refrain from acting, and, to the extent permitted by law, the Pledgor hereby waives and releases any right to a marshaling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation;
 
(h)           The Collateral Agent may register any or all of the Pledged Securities in the name of the Collateral Agent or its nominee without any further consent of the Pledgor;
 
(i)           The Collateral Agent or its nominee at any time, without notice, may exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Collateral owned by the Pledgor or any part thereof, and to receive all interest and distributions in respect of such Collateral;
 
 
F-11

 
 
(j)           The Pledgor shall assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Collateral Agent; and
 
(k)           The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Holder, may be required to comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
 
The proceeds of each collection, sale or other disposition under this Section 5 shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to the Obligations pursuant to Section 6 hereof.
 
Section 6.                      Application of Proceeds.  During any period in which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant hereto, and any other cash at the time held by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, shall be applied (or caused to be applied) by the Collateral Agent:
 
(a)           First, to the extent not otherwise paid in accordance with the terms of the Fee and Indemnification Agreement, to the payment of any and all Collateral Agent Expenses and any other Obligations owing to the Collateral Agent in respect of costs and expenses of such collection, sale or other realization or the preservation of the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel, and all expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, until paid in full;
 
(b)           Second, to the payment in full of the Obligations; and
 
(c)           Third, to the payment to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.
 
As used in this Section 6, “proceeds” of Collateral shall include cash, securities and other property realized in respect of, and distributions in kind of, the Collateral.
 
Section 7.                      Sale of Collateral.
 
7.1           Private Sales.
 
(a)           Each of the Pledgor and the Holder recognizes that the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Securities, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 of the Pledgor and the Holder acknowledges and agrees that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Pledgor and the Holder than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Neither the Holder nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to permit the Pledged Entity or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Pledged Entity or Pledgor would agree to do so.
 
 
F-12

 
 
(b)           The Collateral Agent, at the direction and in the sole discretion of the Holder, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the right to conduct any foreclosure sale of any part of the Collateral.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Holder may, in its sole and absolute discretion but only to the extent permitted by applicable law, direct the Collateral Agent in writing to retain and acquire for the Holder and/or its designees or nominees, the Collateral by instructing the Pledgor and/or the Pledged Entity to register on its ledgers and books the Collateral Agent’s acquisition of the Collateral and each certificate which embodies the Pledged Securities, subject to any rights of the Pledgor to object in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code, if the Pledgor has not renounced or waived such rights in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code. In connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the written direction of the Holder, shall have the right to complete any Unit Power in its favor.
 
(c)           The Pledgor further shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Securities pursuant to this Section 7.1 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.1 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Parties, that the 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 7.1 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees 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 under the Note.
 
(d)           The Collateral Agent and the Holder shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value and that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Each of the Pledgor and the Holder hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Holder arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Debt, even if the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree.
 
 
F-13

 
 
(e)           The Pledgor acknowledges that Securities and Exchange Commission staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.  The Uniform Commercial Code permits the Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has complied with its obligations under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code.  Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, the Pledgor specifically agrees (x) that it shall not raise any objection to the Collateral Agent’s or the Holder’s purchase of the Pledged Securities (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise) and (y) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No-Action Letters (i) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code; (ii) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Securities under the applicable securities laws, even if the Pledgor or any Pledged Entity agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent or the Holder purchases the Pledged Securities at such a sale.
 
(f)           Each of the Pledgor and the Holder agrees that the Collateral Agent shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Securities sold by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(g)           To the extent that provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law impose duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, it is hereby agreed by all the parties hereto that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent to do any of the following:
 
(i)           not incur significant costs, expenses or other liabilities reasonably deemed as such by the Collateral Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition;
 
(ii)           not obtain consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral (other than a Sale Notice or an Election Notice, as the case may be);
 
(iii)           to the extent any sale of the Collateral is conducted through a public sale, to advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or to contact other persons for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;
 
(iv)           to the extent any sale of the Collateral is conducted through an auction, to appoint one or more other qualified auctioneers as directed by the Interested Holder delivering a Sale Notice to the Collateral Agent to act as auction agent to assist in the disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants, legal advisors, agents and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral (the reasonable fees and expenses of such service providers to constitute Collateral Agent Expenses hereunder), utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral, or solicit bids wanted in competition to effect a disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral;
 
 
F-14

 
 
(v)           dispose of the Collateral in wholesale rather than retail markets;
 
(vi)           disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or
 
(vii)           sell Collateral at a price that may be less than the market price quoted by any valuation service provider or market-maker; provided, that the Collateral Agent has used commercially reasonable efforts to sell at such market price.
 
Each of the Pledgor and the Holder acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.1(g) is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being listed in this Section 7.1(g).  Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.1(g) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Pledgor or the Holder or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by provisions of this Agreement, the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.1(g).  It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the Collateral Agent shall not under any circumstances be deemed to be a broker, dealer or investment advisor in connection with any disposition or any Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or applicable law.
 
7.2           Procedures for Sale of Collateral.
 
(a)           If the Collateral Agent shall be notified in writing by an Interested Holder that such Interested Holder wishes to exercise its remedies by directing the Collateral Agent to sell or cause the sale of limited liability membership interests of the Pledged Entity (“Membership Interests”) pledged to such Interested Holder on a sale date at least ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice (a “Sale Date”, and such notice, a “Sale Notice”) in the manner set forth with specificity in such Sale Notice, the Collateral Agent shall, within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of any such Sale Notice, provide notice of such Sale Date (a “Sale Date Notice”) to each other Interested Holder.  Each Interested Holder receiving a Sale Date Notice shall have the right to elect and direct the Collateral Agent, by written notice to the Collateral Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Sale Date (an “Election Notice”), to sell or cause the sale of the Membership Interests pledged to it in the same manner (each an “Electing Holder”).  The delivery of a Sale Notice or an Election Notice by an Interested Holder in respect of a Sale Date shall constitute an irrevocable and binding election and direction to the Collateral Agent from such Interested Holder and its successors and assigns to sell or cause the sale of its Membership Interests on such Sale Date.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to conduct more than one sale of Membership Interests within a fourteen (14) Business Day period, nor shall it be required to conduct any sale of the Collateral or any Membership Interest if it shall receive a Sale Notice from an Interested Holder less than ten (10) days prior to any Sale Date.
 
 
F-15

 
 
(b)           The Sale Date may be postponed at any time by the Collateral Agent.  In the case of any such postponement, the Sale Date shall be rescheduled to a date as shall be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Collateral Agent and each Interested Holder who delivered a Sale Notice for such Sale Date.  The Collateral Agent shall thereafter provide notice to each Electing Holder of the rescheduled Sale Date and each Electing Holder shall have the right to withdraw its Election Notice so long as such Electing Holder provides the Collateral Agent with written notice of its election to withdraw at least two (2) Business Days prior to any such rescheduled Sale Date.
 
(c)           By its acceptance of the Note, the Holder hereby waives any right, remedy or claim it may have, whether at law or in equity, against the Collateral Agent in connection with any sale of the Collateral pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, in connection with any price accepted by the Collateral Agent or any timing of any sale (other than its right to select a Sale Date if it is sending the Collateral Agent a Sale Notice) and hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any and all liability arising under or in connection with any such sale.
 
Section 8.                      Attorney in Fact.  Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed appointed, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Agent shall be entitled under this Section 8 to make collections in respect of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgor representing any payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.
 
Section 9.                      Termination and Release.  When the Obligations hereunder and under the Note shall have been paid in full in cash, and the Note has been cancelled, the Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of written confirmation from the Holder that the Obligations hereunder and under the Note have been paid in full in cash and the Note has been cancelled, forthwith cause to be assigned, transferred and delivered, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever any remaining Collateral and money received in respect thereof, to or on the order of the Pledgor.  Subject to the confirmation from the Holder described in the immediately preceding sentence, upon the payment in full of the Obligations, the Lien granted hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Collateral Agent shall promptly take any actions, as requested in writing by the Pledgor, to terminate and release the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder and any financing statements filed in connection herewith, and to cause the Pledged Collateral and any instrument of transfer previously delivered to the Collateral Agent to be delivered to the Pledgor, all at the cost and expense of the Pledgor.  If the Holder does not notify the Collateral Agent of the cancellation of the Note within five Business Days of payment in full of the Obligations hereunder and under the Note, the Pledgor may notify the Collateral Agent of such payment in full by sending a certificate of an officer of the Pledgor certifying that the Obligations under the Note have been paid in full (the “Officer’s Payoff Certificate”).  The Officer’s Payoff Certificate shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent by overnight courier, with a copy to the Holder (and to any additional party designated in writing by the Holder, including the parties set forth on Exhibit B hereto) by overnight courier.  So long as the Holder does not notify the Collateral Agent in writing that it disagrees with the Officer’s Payoff Certificate within seven Business Days of the Holder’s receipt thereof, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the Officer’s Payoff Certificate as conclusive evidence that the Obligations hereunder and under the Note have been paid in full.
 
 
F-16

 
 
Section 10.                      Further Assurances.  The Pledgor agrees that, from time to time upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, the Pledgor will execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
 
Section 11.                      Additional Agreements Concerning UCCs.  The Pledgor hereby agrees to file UCC-1 Financing Statements describing the Collateral and as may be necessary or desirable for purposes of perfecting the security interest in the Collateral granted by the Pledgor to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.
 
Section 12.                      Substitution of Collateral.  At any time while this Agreement is in force and effect, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Pledgor may on ten Business Days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and the Holder substitute for the Pledged Securities in whole, but not in part, (a) any readily-marketable securities (i) issued by, or directly, unconditionally and fully guaranteed or insured by the United States federal government or (ii) issued by any agency of the United States federal government the obligations of which are fully backed by the full faith and credit of the United States federal government or (b) any readily-marketable direct obligations issued by any other agency of the United States federal government, any state of the United States or any political subdivision of any such state or any public instrumentality thereof, in each case having a rating of at least “A-1” from S&P or at least “P-1” from Moody’s; provided that (x) the fair market value of the substituted Collateral referred to in this Section 12(a) and (b) at all times shall be (I) at least equal to the Prepayment Amount under the Note if the maturities of such obligations are less than 90 days from the issuance thereof (provided that if the Note is not paid off in full or the Pledged Securities are not returned as Collateral within 6 months of such substitution of Collateral, the Pledgor shall provide additional substitute Collateral so that the total fair market value of all substituted Collateral shall be at least equal to 110% of the Prepayment Amount under the Note), or (II) at least equal to 125% of the amount of the Prepayment Amount under the Note if the maturities of such obligations exceed 90 days from the issuance thereof, in each case as determined by the Holder as of the date of such substitution pursuant to the terms thereof, and shall pay interest, dividends or other distributions no more than 12 times annually, (y) the Pledgor shall have taken all such necessary or desirable action to ensure that the Collateral Agent shall have a perfected first priority security interest in the substituted Collateral prior to directing the Collateral Agent to (A) release its Liens on the existing Collateral and (B) return the existing Collateral to the Pledgor, and (z) the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor, at the Holder’s or Pledgor’s request and at the Pledgor’s expense, shall enter into appropriate documentation to grant the Collateral Agent a first priority security interest in the substituted Collateral, in form reasonably acceptable to Collateral Agent, which documentation shall include, without limitation, a customary opinion from counsel to the Pledgor related to the grant and perfection of the security interest in the substituted Collateral.  The Pledgor hereby agrees that any direct or indirect increase in the administrative costs or expenses of the Collateral Agent or the Deposit Account Bank due to any substitution of Collateral pursuant this Section 12 shall be paid by the Pledgor.

Section 13.                      Miscellaneous.

2.
The Company has full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Documents to which it is a party, to issue the Notes and to perform its obligations under the Documents and the Notes.
 
3.
The execution of the Documents to which the Company is a party and the issue of the Notes have been duly authorised by the Company, and the Documents and the Notes have been duly executed by the Company.  The Documents when delivered, and the Notes when duly authenticated and delivered, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.
 
4.
The execution, delivery and performance of the Documents to which the Company is a party, the issue of the Notes, the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby and the compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions thereof do not:
 
 
(a)
contravene any law, public rule or regulation of the Cayman Islands applicable to the Company which is currently in force; or
 
 
(b)
contravene the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company.
 
5.
Neither:
 
 
(a)
the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Notes or the Documents to which the Company is a party; nor
 
 
(b)
the consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated thereby by the Company,
 
requires the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, or the registration with, or the taking of any other action in respect of any Cayman Islands governmental or judicial authority or agency.
 
6.
The law (if any) chosen in each of the Notes and the Documents to which the Company is a party to govern its interpretation would be upheld as a valid choice of law in any action on that Document or Note, as applicable, in the courts of the Cayman Islands (the "Courts" and each a "Court").
 
 
Annex A-II-1

 
 
7.
The Charge (as defined in Schedule 1) creates a valid security interest over the property intended to be secured by such Charge (the "Collateral") in favour of the Secured Party (as defined in Schedule 1) and the Courts will recognise such security interest.
 
8.
Save as set out in qualification 2 in Schedule 3, there are no stamp duties, income taxes, withholdings, levies, registration taxes, or other duties or similar taxes or charges now imposed, or which under the present laws of the Cayman Islands could in the future become imposed, in connection with the execution or delivery or enforcement or admissibility in evidence of the Notes or the Documents or on any payment to be made by the Company or any other person pursuant to the Notes or the Documents.  The Cayman Islands currently have no form of income, corporate or capital gains tax and no estate duty, inheritance tax or gift tax.
 
9.
None of the parties to the Documents (other than the Company) or holders of the Notes is or will be deemed to be resident, domiciled or carrying on business in the Cayman Islands by reason only of the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Documents to which any of them is party or its holding any of the Notes, as applicable.
 
10.
A judgment obtained in a foreign court (other than certain judgments of a superior court of any state of the Commonwealth of Australia) will be recognised and enforced in the Courts without any re-examination of the merits at common law, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands (the "Grand Court"), where the judgment:
 
 
(a)
is final and conclusive;
 
 
(b)
is one in respect of which the foreign court had jurisdiction over the defendant according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules;
 
 
(c)
is either for a liquidated sum not in respect of penalties or taxes or a fine or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances, for in personam non-money relief (following Bandone Sdn Bhd v Sol Properties Inc. [2008] CILR 301); and
 
 
(d)
was neither obtained in a manner, nor is of a kind, enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.
 
11.
It is not necessary under the laws of the Cayman Islands that any of the Notes or the Documents be registered or recorded in any public office or elsewhere in the Cayman Islands in order to ensure the validity or enforceability of any of the Documents or Notes; however we consider it advisable to enter particulars of the Charge in the Register of Mortgages and Charges maintained by the Company to comply with section 54 of the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the "Companies Law"). We note that such an entry in the Register of Mortgages and Charges of the Company has been made.

solely by reason of the execution, delivery and performance of the Documents or the holding of the Notes,
 
that any party to any of the Documents or any holder of the Notes, as applicable, should be licensed, qualified or otherwise entitled to carry on business in the Cayman Islands or any other political subdivision thereof.

Based solely upon our examination of the Register of Writs and other Originating Process of the Grand Court (the "Court Register") on 30 March 2011 (the "Search Date"), we confirm that, as at 9.00am on the Search Date (the "Search Time"), there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending against the Company before the Grand Court and no steps have been, or are being, taken compulsorily to wind up the Company.

Authority to File Voluntary Bankruptcy Petition
CT LEGACY SERIES 2 NOTE ISSUER, LLC
 
Based upon the foregoing, and upon our examination of such questions of law and statutes as we have considered necessary or appropriate, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that a federal bankruptcy court would hold that Delaware law, and not federal law, governs the determination of what persons or entities have authority to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Company.  Our opinion is based on the assumption that in any case in which this question is considered, the question will be competently briefed and argued.  Our opinion is reasoned and also presumes that any decision rendered will be based on existing legal precedents, including those discussed below.
 
 
Annex A-IV-2

 
 
State Law Opinion – CT LEGACY SERIES 2 NOTE ISSUER, LLC

1.           The Company has been duly formed and is validly existing in good standing as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
2.           Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, 6 Del. C. § 18-101, et seq. (the “LLC Act”), and the LLC Agreement, the Company has all necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, and to perform its obligations thereunder.
 
3.           Under the LLC Act and the LLC Agreement, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Company.
 
4.           No authorization, consent, approval or order of any Delaware court or any Delaware governmental or administrative body is required to be obtained by the Company solely in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder.
 
5.           The execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, do not violate (i) any Delaware law, rule or regulation, or (ii) the LLC Certificate or the LLC Agreement.
 
6.           The LLC Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the Member, in accordance with its terms.
 
7.           If properly presented to a Delaware court, a Delaware court applying Delaware law would conclude that (i) so long as any Obligation is outstanding, in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Company, the prior written consent of the Independent Manager, as provided for in Section 9(j)(iii) of the LLC Agreement, is required, and (ii) such provision, contained in Section 9(j)(iii) of the LLC Agreement, that requires, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, the prior written consent of the Independent Manager in order for a Person to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition on behalf of the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Member, and is enforceable against the Member, in accordance with its terms.
 
8.           While under the LLC Act, on application to a court of competent jurisdiction, a judgment creditor of the Member may be able to charge the Member’s share of any profits and losses of the Company and the Member's right to receive distributions of the Company's assets (the “Member's Interest”), to the extent so charged, the judgment creditor has only the right to receive any distribution or distributions to which the Member would otherwise have been entitled in respect of such Member’s Interest.  Under the LLC Act, no creditor of the Member shall have any right to obtain possession of, or otherwise exercise legal or equitable remedies with respect to, the property of the Company.  Thus, under the LLC Act, a judgment creditor of the Member may not satisfy its claims against the Member by asserting a claim against the assets of the Company.
 
 
Annex A-IV-3

 
 
9.           Under the LLC Act (i) the Company is a separate legal entity, and (ii) the existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the LLC Certificate.
 
10.           Under the LLC Act and the LLC Agreement, the Bankruptcy or dissolution of the Member will not, by itself, cause the Company to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.
 
The opinion expressed in paragraph 6 above is subject to the effect upon the LLC Agreement of (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, receivership, reorganization, liquidation and other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, including applicable law relating to fiduciary duties (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law).  In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 6 above, we express no opinion (i) concerning the right or power of a member or manager of the Company to apply to or petition a court to decree a dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 18-802 of the LLC Act, (ii) with respect to provisions of the LLC Agreement that apply to a Person that is not a party to the LLC Agreement, or (iii) with respect to transfer restrictions in a document reviewed by us to the extent that a transfer occurs by operation of law.
 
The opinions expressed in paragraphs 7 through 10 above are subject to principles of equity, including applicable law relating to fiduciary duties (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding in equity or at law), but the opinions expressed in paragraphs 7 through 10 above are not subject to the matters set forth in the first clause (i) of the preceding paragraph.
