Subject to Section 4.4, the parties to this Agreement agree that the payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations will be secured equally and ratably by the Liens established in favor of the Collateral Trustee for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties under the Security Documents, notwithstanding the time of incurrence of any Secured Obligations or the date, time, method or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing such Secured Obligations and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, the time of incurrence of any Series of Secured Debt or the time of incurrence of any other Secured Obligation, or any other applicable law or any defect or deficiencies in, or failure to perfect or lapse in perfection of, or avoidance as a fraudulent conveyance or otherwise of, the Liens securing the Secured Obligations or the subordination of such Liens to any other Liens, or any other circumstance whatsoever, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced against any Grantor, it is the intent of the parties that, and the parties hereto agree for themselves and Secured Parties represented by them that all Secured Obligations will be and are secured equally and ratably by all Priority Liens at any time granted by any Grantor to secure any Obligations in respect of any Series of Secured Debt, whether or not upon property otherwise constituting collateral for such Series of Secured Debt, and that all such Priority Liens will be enforceable by the Collateral Trustee for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of all other Secured Parties equally and ratably; provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not be violated with respect to any particular Collateral and any particular Series of Secured Debt if the Secured Debt Documents in respect thereof prohibit the applicable Secured Parties from accepting the benefit of a Lien on any particular asset or property or such Secured Party otherwise expressly declines in writing to accept the benefit of a Lien on such asset or property.

FIRST, to the payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement on account of the Collateral Trustee’s fees and any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, costs and expenses or other liabilities of any kind incurred by, or owed to, the Collateral Trustee or any co-trustee or agent of the Collateral Trustee in connection with performing its obligations under any Security Document or this Agreement (including, but not limited to, indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement or any Security Document that are then due and payable);

SECOND, to the repayment of obligations, other than the Secured Obligations, secured by a Permitted Prior Lien on the Collateral sold or realized upon to the extent that such other Lien has priority over the Priority Liens but only if such obligation is discharged (in whole or in part) in connection with such sale;

THIRD, to the respective Secured Debt Representatives on a pro rata basis for each Series of Secured Debt that are secured by such Collateral for application to the payment of all such outstanding Secured Debt and any such other Secured Obligations that are then due and payable and so secured (for application in such order as may be provided in the Secured Debt Documents applicable to the respective Secured Obligations) in an amount sufficient to pay in full in cash all outstanding Secured Debt and all other Secured Obligations that are then due and payable (including all interest and fees accrued thereon after the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the Secured Debt Documents, even if such interest is not enforceable, allowable or allowed as a claim in such proceeding, and including the discharge or cash collateralization (at the lower of (1) 105% of the aggregate undrawn amount and (2) the percentage of the aggregate undrawn amount required for release of Liens under the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Document) of all outstanding letters of credit constituting Secured Debt); and

FOURTH, any surplus remaining after the payment in full in cash of amounts described in the preceding clauses will be paid to the Issuer or the applicable Grantor, as the case may be, its successors or assigns, or to such other Persons as may be entitled to such amounts under applicable law or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lien on any Collateral no longer secures the Obligations under any Series of Secured Debt as described below in Section 4.4, then such Series of Secured Debt and any related Secured Obligations of that Series thereafter shall not be entitled to share in the proceeds of any such Collateral.

(b) This Section 3.4 is intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable as a third party beneficiary by, each present and future Secured Party. The Secured Debt Representative of each future Series of Secured Debt will be required to deliver a Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder as provided in Section 3.8 at the time of incurrence of such Series of Secured Debt.

Section 3.5 Powers of the Collateral Trustee.

(a) The Collateral Trustee is irrevocably authorized and empowered (but without obligation) to enter into and perform its obligations and protect, perfect, exercise and enforce its interest, rights, powers and remedies under the Security Documents and applicable law and in equity and to act as set forth in this Article III or, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, as requested in any directions given to it from time to time in respect of any matter by an Act of Required Secured Parties.

Section 3.6 Documents and Communications. The Collateral Trustee will permit each Secured Debt Representative and each Secured Party upon reasonable written notice from time to time to inspect and copy, at the cost and expense of the party requesting such copies, any and all Security Documents and other documents, notices, certificates, instructions or communications received or delivered by the Collateral Trustee in its capacity as such.

Section 3.7 For Sole and Exclusive Benefit of the Secured Parties. The Collateral Trustee will accept, hold, administer and enforce all Liens on the Collateral at any time pledged and, if applicable, delivered to it and all other interests, rights, powers and remedies at any time granted to or enforceable by the Collateral Trustee and all other property of the Trust Estate solely and exclusively for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of the other present and future Secured Parties, and will distribute all proceeds received by it in realization thereon or from enforcement thereof solely and exclusively pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4, in each case, subject to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 3.8 Additional Secured Debt.

(a) The Collateral Trustee will, as collateral trustee hereunder, perform its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to any Secured Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof if the designated Secured Debt Representative identified pursuant to this Section 3.8 signs a Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder and delivers the same to the Collateral Trustee; provided that, if such Funded Debt is issued under an existing Secured Debt Document for any Series of Secured Debt whose Secured Debt Representative is already party to this Agreement, no such Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder shall be a condition to the performance by the Collateral Trustee of its undertakings set forth in this Agreement with respect to such Funded Debt.

(b) The Issuer will be permitted to designate as Secured Debt hereunder any Funded Debt that is incurred by any Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Documents. The Issuer may only effect such designation by delivering to the Collateral Trustee an Additional Secured Debt Designation that:

(1) states that such Grantor intends to incur additional Funded Debt (“Additional Secured Debt”) which will be Secured Debt not prohibited by any Secured Debt Document to be incurred and secured by a Priority Lien equally and ratably with all previously existing and future Secured Debt;

(2) specifies the name and address of the Secured Debt Representative (or, in the case of any Additional Secured Debt of which there is a single holder, such holder) for such Additional Secured Debt for purposes of this Agreement including Section 7.6;

(3) states that such Grantor and any other Grantors party thereto have duly authorized and executed (if applicable) all relevant filings and recordations to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by the Collateral in accordance with the Security Documents; and

(4) attaches as Exhibit 1 to such Additional Secured Debt Designation a Reaffirmation Agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit 1 to Exhibit A of this Agreement, which Reaffirmation Agreement has been duly executed by each Grantor.

The Issuer shall deliver a copy of the Additional Secured Debt Designation and the related Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder to each then existing Secured Debt Representative; provided that the failure to do so shall not affect the status of such debt as Additional Secured Debt if the other requirements of this Section 3.8 are complied with. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow any Grantor to incur additional Funded Debt or Liens if prohibited by the terms of any Secured Debt Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the incurrence of revolving credit obligations under commitments that have previously been designated as Secured Debt, (y) the issuance of letters of credit and incurrence of reimbursement obligations in respect thereof under commitments that have previously been designated as Secured Debt and (z) the incurrence of any incremental facilities under any Credit Facility that constitutes Additional Secured Debt shall, in each case, automatically constitute Secured Debt and shall not require compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.8(a) and this Section 3.8(b).

(c) With respect to any Secured Debt that is issued or incurred after the date hereof, each Grantor agrees to take such actions (if any) as necessary or as otherwise may from time to time reasonably be requested by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Debt Representative and enter into such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the then existing Security Documents (or execute and deliver such additional Security Documents) as may from time to time be reasonably requested by such Persons (including as contemplated by clause (d) below), to ensure that the Additional Secured Debt is secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the relevant Security Documents, and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits hereof and the execution of this Agreement) hereby agrees to, and authorizes the Collateral Trustee to enter into, any such technical amendments, modifications and/or supplements (and additional Security Documents). Each Grantor hereby further agrees that, if there are any recording, filing or other similar fees payable in connection with any of the actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) or Section 3.8(d), all such amounts shall be paid by, and shall be for the account of, the Grantors, on a joint and several basis.

(d) Without limitation of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees to take the following actions with respect to any real property Collateral with respect to all Additional Secured Debt (it being understood that any such actions may be taken following the incurrence of any such Additional Secured Debt on a post-closing basis if permitted by the Secured Debt Representative for such Additional Secured Debt or the requisite percentage or number of holders of such Additional Secured Debt at the time outstanding as provided for in the applicable Secured Debt Documents):

(1) each applicable Grantor shall enter into, and deliver to the Collateral Trustee amendments to the Mortgages (each, a “Mortgage Amendment”) or new mortgages, deeds of trust or similar instruments (only to the extent such new mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument would be required to effect such Mortgage modifications) with regard to each real property located in the United States of America required to be subject to a mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument(each such instrument a “Mortgage,” and each such property a “Mortgaged Property”) under the Secured Debt Documents, with such changes as may be required to account for local law matters, at the time of such incurrence, in proper form for recording in all applicable jurisdictions, in form and substance substantially similar to comparable Mortgages delivered to the Exchange Credit Facility Agent under the Exchange Credit Agreement, and each

applicable Grantor is jointly and severally liable to pay all filing and recording fees and taxes, documentary stamp taxes, mortgage taxes and other taxes, charges and fees, if any, necessary for filing or recording in the recording office of each jurisdiction where such real property to be encumbered thereby is situated;

(2) each applicable Grantor will cause to be delivered a local counsel opinion (subject to customary assumptions and qualifications) with respect to each such Mortgaged Property substantially similar to the comparable opinions provided under the Exchange Credit Agreement; and

(3) each applicable Grantor will cause a title company to deliver to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the ratable benefit of the other Secured Parties an endorsement to each title insurance policy for all real property Collateral then in effect, date down(s) or other evidence of title (which may include new title insurance policies), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Exchange Credit Facility Agent under the Exchange Credit Agreement, in each case insuring or evidencing the priority of the Liens of the applicable Mortgages, as amended by any Mortgage Amendment as security for the Secured Obligations with no intervening liens or encumbrances which take priority over the Lien of the applicable Mortgage(s), other than with respect to Liens permitted by each Security Document.

ARTICLE V

IMMUNITIES OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

Section 5.1 No Implied Duty. The Collateral Trustee will not have any fiduciary duties (whether before or after a default or Secured Debt Default) or other implied duties nor will it have responsibilities or obligations other than those expressly assumed by it in this Agreement and the other Security Documents. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to take any action that is contrary to applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “trustee” herein or in any other Security Document (or any other similar term) with reference to a Collateral Trustee is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency or trustee doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties

Section 5.2 Appointment of Agents and Advisors. The Collateral Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, accountants, appraisers or other experts or advisors selected by it in good faith as it may reasonably require and will not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any of them.

Section 5.3 Other Agreements.

(a) The Collateral Trustee has accepted its appointment as Collateral Trustee hereunder. The Collateral Trustee is authorized and directed (i) to execute and deliver the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents executed by the Collateral Trustee as of the date of this Agreement as well as any additional Security Documents from time to time that are required hereunder or reasonably requested by a Grantor or a Secured Debt Representative and is (or will be) bound by the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and all such Security Documents upon effectiveness thereof and the Collateral Trustee shall execute all such Security Documents and (ii) without obligation, in order to perfect the security interest to the Collateral Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties granted by the Grantors on the Collateral held by such Grantors and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to execute, deliver and/or file or record (if applicable) any such Security Documents, instruments, financing statements or other documents with the applicable government body; provided, however, that such additional Security Documents do not adversely affect the rights, privileges, benefits and immunities of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not otherwise be bound by, or be held obligated by, the provisions of any credit agreement, indenture or other agreement governing Secured Debt (other than this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents to which it is a party) other than those expressly assumed by it in the applicable Secured Debt Documents to which it is a party. In acting under any Security Document and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee shall enjoy all the rights, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it

hereunder. To the extent applicable, the Collateral Trustee shall enjoy the same rights, protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to it under the Secured Debt Documents as agent of (or otherwise being appointed to act for the benefit of) the related Secured Debt Representative or Secured Parties in acting hereunder.

(b) Upon receipt of a Collateral Trust Agreement Joinder, the Collateral Trustee shall execute the same.

Section 5.4 Solicitation of Instructions.

(a) As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee may at any time solicit written confirmatory instructions, as to which it may conclusively rely without liability, in the form of an Act of Required Secured Parties, an Officer’s Certificate or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, as to any action that it may be requested or required to take, or that it may propose to take, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents.

(b) No written direction given to the Collateral Trustee by an Act of Required Secured Parties that in the sole judgment of the Collateral Trustee imposes, purports to impose or might reasonably be expected to impose upon the Collateral Trustee any obligation or liability not set forth in or arising under this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and the other Security Documents will be binding upon the Collateral Trustee unless the Collateral Trustee elects, at its sole option, to accept such direction. For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 7.9 and 7.10 shall apply with regard to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee in compliance with such request or direction.

Section 5.5 Limitation of Liability. The Collateral Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or under any other Security Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for punitive, special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including loss of profit) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other Security Document or any agreement or transaction contemplated hereby irrespective of whether the Collateral Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of actions. The Collateral Trustee shall in no event be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, epidemics and pandemics, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

The Collateral Trustee will be entitled to require that all agreements, certificates, opinions, instruments and other documents at any time submitted to it, including those expressly provided for in this Agreement, be delivered to it in a form and with substantive provisions reasonably satisfactory to it as to its rights, duties and obligations; provided that in no event shall the Collateral Trustee be deemed to be making a representation as to the accuracy, adequacy or sufficiency of such document or for the sufficiency of this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Entitled to Rely. The Collateral Trustee may seek and conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any judicial order or judgment, upon any advice, opinion or statement of legal counsel, independent consultants and other experts selected by it in good faith and upon any certification, instruction, notice or other writing delivered to it by the Issuer or any other Grantor in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement or delivered to it by any Secured Debt Representative as to the Secured Parties for whom it acts, without being required to determine the authenticity thereof or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity of service thereof. The Collateral Trustee may act in reliance upon any instrument comporting with the provisions of this Agreement or any signature reasonably believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give notice or receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof or the other Security Documents has been duly authorized to do so. To the extent an Officer’s Certificate is required or permitted under this Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Trustee in respect of any matter, the Collateral Trustee may rely conclusively on such Officer’s Certificate as to such matter and such Officer’s Certificate shall be full warranty and protection to the Collateral Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Security Documents with respect to the transaction specified in such Officer’s Certificate.

Section 5.8 Secured Debt Default. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to inquire as to the occurrence or absence of any Secured Debt Default and will not be affected by or required to act upon any notice or knowledge as to the occurrence of any Secured Debt Default unless and until it is directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Collateral Trustee shall not be subject to, or bound by, the terms and provisions of any documents to which it is not a party, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the terms and provisions of any document to which it is not a party.

Section 5.9 Actions by Collateral Trustee. As to any matter not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the other Security Documents, the Collateral Trustee will act or refrain from acting as directed by an Act of Required Secured Parties and will be fully protected if it does so, and any action taken, suffered or omitted pursuant hereto or thereto shall be binding on the Secured Parties.

Section 5.10 Security or Indemnity in favor of the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder unless it has been provided with security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any and all liability, loss, fee or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.

Section 5.11 Rights of the Collateral Trustee. In the event of any conflict between any terms and provisions set forth in this Agreement and those set forth in any other Security Document, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and control the terms and provisions of such other Security Document with respect to the priority of the Liens created by the Security Documents and the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee. In the event there is any bona fide, good faith disagreement between the other parties to this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents resulting in adverse claims being made in connection with Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee and the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents do not unambiguously mandate the action the Collateral Trustee is to take or not to take in connection therewith under the circumstances then existing, or the Collateral Trustee is in doubt as to what action it is required to take or not to take hereunder or under the other Security Documents, it will be entitled to refrain from taking any action (and will incur no liability for doing so) until directed otherwise in writing by a request signed jointly by the parties hereto entitled to give such direction or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 5.12 Limitations on Duty of Collateral Trustee in Respect of Collateral.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of Collateral in its possession, the Collateral Trustee will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any Liens on the Collateral, all of which shall be the responsibility of the applicable Grantor and evidence of such filings shall be provided to the Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee shall deliver to each other Secured Debt Representative a copy of any such evidence of filing. The Collateral Trustee will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Collateral Trustee will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Trustee in good faith. The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to obtain or monitor any insurance in respect of the Collateral

(b) Except as provided in Section 5.12(a), the Collateral Trustee will not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Trustee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the current and future holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the security interests granted to it or in the value of any Collateral.

Section 5.13 Assumption of Rights, Not Assumption of Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

(1) each of the parties thereto (other than the Collateral Trustee) will remain liable under each of the Security Documents (other than this Agreement) to the extent set forth therein to perform all of their respective duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not be executed;

(2) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of its rights, remedies or powers hereunder will not release such parties from any of their respective duties or obligations under the other Security Documents; and

(3) the Collateral Trustee will not be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the parties to the Security Documents other than the obligations and duties of the Collateral Trustee.

Section 5.14 No Liability for Clean-Up of Hazardous Materials. In the event that the Collateral Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Trustee to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Collateral Trustee to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Collateral Trustee or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Collateral Trustee will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment.

Section 5.15 Act of Required Secured Party, etc.

(a) At the request of the Collateral Trustee, each Secured Debt Representative shall provide any information requested by the Collateral Trustee in order to determine whether any act, direction or vote of holders of Secured Debt meets the definition of “Act of Required Secured Parties”. Each such Secured Debt Representative shall be required to determine whether any Secured Debt is held by the Issuer or any Affiliate of a Grantor for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Act of Required Secured Parties.”

(b) The Collateral Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Discharge of Secured Obligations unless and until written notice thereof is delivered to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 7.7.

(c) The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information provided by each such Secured Debt Representative pursuant to this Section 5.15.

(2) having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000;
