    6. Control
    Secured Party may exercise sole and exclusive control of the Collateral necessary to secure all obligations of the Pledgor under the Lease Agreement at any time by delivering to Broker a Notice of Exclusive Control. From and after the Effective Time of a Notice of Exclusive Control received by Broker, Broker shall, without inquiry and in reliance upon such Notice of Exclusive Control, comply with Instructions, including Entitlement Orders, solely from Secured Party with respect to the Collateral. Secured Party agrees that Secured Party will only issue a Notice of Exclusive Control if Secured Party has determined in good faith that an event of default or other similar event has occurred under the Lease Agreement which entitles Secured Party to exercise its rights as a secured party with respect to the Collateral. Broker shall not have any liability to Secured Party or Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or Instructions (including Entitlement Orders) originated by Secured Party. Broker will be fully protected in complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control (and any instructions, including Entitlement Orders, originated by Secured Party) whether or not Pledgor may allege that no rights of Secured Party exist to provide such instructions or to issue the Notice of Exclusive Control. For avoidance of doubt, each Instruction or Notice of Exclusive Control shall apply to the Brokerage Account listed on Schedule A.

    7. Subordination of Rights
    Except as provided in this Agreement, Broker agrees it shall not setoff, charge, deduct or otherwise withdraw funds from the Brokerage Account. The parties agree that any security interest in or lien on, or right of set-off against any of the Collateral that Broker may have now or in the future is hereby waived other than with respect to (a) with respect to Broker, any advances that Broker may from time to time make to, or for the benefit of, Pledgor for purposes of clearing or settling purchases or sales of securities in the Brokerage Account and (b) any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts not described in clause (a) above owed to Broker and incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder or pursuant to the Brokerage Agreement related to the maintenance and operation of the Brokerage Account, for which Broker shall have a prior claim to the Collateral having priority over the interest of Secured Party.

    8. Fees
    At any time, Broker is permitted to charge the Brokerage Account for all of its fees and expenses for the maintenance and administration of such account and the services provided hereunder (collectively, "Fees"). If the Financial Assets and cash credited to the Brokerage Account are insufficient to cover such Fees, the amount thereof or the shortfall, as applicable, will be paid by the Pledgor to Broker, as the case may be, upon demand therefor. After the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, the Secured Party agrees to pay such Fees within 15 calendar days after demand, without setoff or counterclaim, to the extent such Fees are not timely paid in full by the Pledgor. Any failure of the Pledgor or the Secured Party to make such payment shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement.

    9. Statements, Confirmations and Notices of Adverse Claims
    The Pledgor agrees that Broker may furnish to the Secured Party copies of all statements and confirmations concerning the Brokerage Account to the Secured Party upon the written request and at the sole expense of the Secured Party. If Broker receives written notice of any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim against the Collateral, if not prohibited by law, then the part receiving such notice will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Secured Party and the Pledgor thereof.

    10. No Responsibility or Liability Except for Gross Negligence or Willful Misconduct
    Broker shall not have any obligations hereunder including any claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages of any kind or nature between the Pledgor and the Secured Party, which shall be entirely governed by that certain lease agreement entered by and between the Pledgor and the Secured Party, except for those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Broker shall not (i) have any responsibility or liability to the Pledgor or the Secured Party for any Losses except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) be charged with knowledge of any provisions of the Lease Agreement or of any other agreements or arrangements entered into between Pledgor and Secured Party, (iii) have any responsibility or liability to the Pledgor or Secured Party with respect to the Collateral or the value or sufficiency of the Collateral, (iv) have any liability for any action or inaction of any subcustodian, securities depository or clearing corporation, (v) have any fiduciary duties under this Agreement to any other party. Broker shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Instruction or Notice received by it that it reasonably believes to be from an authorized person and shall have no duty to investigate the genuineness, validity or appropriateness of any Instruction or Notice, and (vii) may, with respect to questions of law, obtain the advice of counsel and shall bear no liability with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in conformity with such advice. The substantial compliance by Broker with its standard procedures for provision of the services required under this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute the exercise of ordinary care. In the event Broker acts with gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Pledgor and the Secured Party expressly agree that the its liability shall be limited to actual damages directly caused by such breach, and in no event shall Broker be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages or attorneys' fees regardless of whether or not it knew of the likelihood or was made aware of the possibility of any such damages. [In addition, Broker shall not have any responsibility or liability to the Secured Party for complying with Instructions concerning the Collateral from the Pledgor which are received by it before the Effective Time of a Notice of Exclusive Control.] [To be updated to reflect operation of accounts] Broker shall not have any responsibility or liability to the Pledgor for complying with a Notice of Exclusive Control or complying with Instructions concerning the Brokerage Account or the Collateral originated by the Secured Party, and neither of them shall have any responsibility to investigate the appropriateness of any such Instructions, Notice of Exclusive Control or the existence or enforceability of the Pledgor's obligations to the Secured Party, even if Pledgor notifies them that the Secured Party is not legally entitled to originate any such Instruction or Notice of Exclusive Control, unless Broker has been served with an injunction, restraining order or other legal process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction (a "Court Order") enjoining it from complying and has had a reasonable opportunity to act on such Court Order. Broker shall not have any responsibility or liability to the Pledgor or Secured Party with respect to the Brokerage Account or the value of the Collateral, including damages arising from complying with a court order or injunction.

    11. Legal Restrictions to Performance of Obligations
    Whether prior or subsequent to the receipt by Broker of a Notice of Exclusive Control, in the event that Pledgor becomes subject to a voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code, if Broker is otherwise served with a Court Order which it in good faith believes affects the Collateral, or Broker is of the opinion that acting upon the instructions of either the Pledgor or the Secured Party would result in the violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation, then it may cease acting upon the Instructions of both the Pledgor and the Secured Party otherwise required by the terms hereof or other Account Agreement (as defined below) or such Notice of Exclusive Control until such time as it receives a Court Order or other assurances satisfactory to it establishing that it may act on any such Instructions.

    12. Indemnification
    (a) The Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Broker, and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees against any and all losses, claims, causes of action, liabilities, lawsuits, demands and damages of any kind or nature, including without limitation, any and all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses (collectively, "Losses"), in any way related to or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or not taken by Broker pursuant hereto; provided that a party and its respective directors, officers, agents and employees shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent of Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final nonappealable judgment resulted from for such party's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    (b) To the extent that the Pledgor has failed to satisfy its obligations under subsection (a) above, the Secured Party hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Broker and each of their respective directors, officers, agents and employees against any and all Losses, provided that in the case of Losses arising prior to the delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control to Broker, the Secured Party's indemnity obligations to Broker hereunder shall be limited to only those Losses which arise from Instructions issued to Broker by the Secured Party and, provided, further, that Broker shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent that such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    (c) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

    13. Customer Agreement
    In the event of a conflict between this Agreement, the Brokerage Account Agreement, or any other agreement between Broker, on the one hand, and the Pledgor, on the other hand, affecting the Brokerage Account (each an "Account Agreement"), the terms of this Agreement will prevail. However, this Agreement will not interfere, negatively affect or otherwise obstruct or prevent Broker from raising any claim or defense against the Pledgor available to it under any Account Agreement or create any third party beneficiary rights under any Account Agreement in favor of the Secured Party.
