attach to (a) any Intellectual Property, lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement to
which any Grantor is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder if and for so long as the
grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in (i) the abandonment, invalidation or
unenforceability of any right, title or interest of any Grantor therein or (ii) in a breach or
termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any such lease, license, contract
property rights or agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered

provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the
Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity), provided, however, that the Collateral shall include and
such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as the condition causing such
abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability shall be remedied and to the extent severable, shall
attach immediately to any portion of such Lease, license, contract, property rights or agreement
that does not result in any of the consequences specified in (i) or (ii) above; or (b) in any of
the outstanding capital stock of a Controlled Foreign Corporation in excess of 65% of the voting

The parties hereto agree that the requirements of this Agreement to give control of any Note
Priority Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied so long as such control is in
place with the First Lien Collateral Trustee acting for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant
to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) value has been given, (ii) it has rights in the
Collateral or the power to transfer rights in the Collateral to the Collateral Agent (other than
after-acquired Collateral), (iii) it has not agreed to postpone the time of attachment of the

nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any of such agreements by reason
of or arising out of this Agreement or any other document related thereto nor shall the Collateral
Agent nor any Secured Party have any obligation to make any
inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or have any obligation
to take any action to collect or enforce any rights under any agreement included in the Collateral,
including, without limitation, any agreements relating to Pledged Partnership Interests or Pledged
LLC Interests, and (iii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder shall

respect to the Receivables, except as could not reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse
Effect;
(ii) it shall not amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of any
Receivable in any manner which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Other than in the ordinary course of business as generally conducted by it on and prior to the date
hereof and, except as otherwise provided in subsection (v) below, following an Event of Default,
such Grantor shall not (w) grant any extension or renewal of the time of payment of any Receivable,
(x) compromise or settle any dispute, claim or legal proceeding with respect to any Receivable for
less than the total unpaid balance thereof, (y) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for

(iii) except as otherwise provided in this subsection, each Grantor shall
during the continuance of an Event of Default take such action as such Grantor or the Collateral
Agent may deem reasonably necessary to exercise all material rights it may have under Receivables.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default to notify, or require any Grantor to notify, any Account Debtor
of the Collateral Agents security interest in the Receivables and any Supporting Obligation and,
in addition, at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event
of
Default, the Collateral Agent may: (1) direct the Account Debtors under any Receivables to make
payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral
Agent; (2) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a lockbox or similar
arrangement to which Account Debtors under any Receivables have been

payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement directly
to the Collateral Agent; and (3) enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection of any such
Receivables and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner
and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done. If the Collateral Agent notifies any
Grantor that it has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding sentence,
any payments of Receivables received by such Grantor shall be forthwith (and in any event within
two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such
Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in the Collateral Account maintained under the sole
dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, and until so turned over, all amounts and proceeds
(including checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables,
any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support shall be received in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and, subject to
paragraph (i) above, such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of
any Receivable, or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any
credit or discount thereon; and
(iv) it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep in full force
and effect any Supporting Obligation or Collateral Support relating to any Receivable.
(c) Delivery and Control of Receivables. With respect to any Receivables in

constitutes, Chattel Paper or Instruments, each Grantor shall cause each originally executed copy
thereof to be delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee) appropriately indorsed
to the Collateral Agent or indorsed in blank: (i) with respect to any such Receivables in
existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such
Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) Business Days of such Grantor acquiring rights
therein. With respect to any Receivables in excess of $1,000,000 individually or $5,000,000 in the
aggregate which would constitute electronic chattel paper under Article 9 of the UCC, each
Grantor shall take all steps necessary to give the Collateral Agent control over such Receivables
(within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the UCC): (i) with respect to any such Receivables in
existence on the date hereof, on or prior to the date hereof and (ii) with respect to any such
Receivables hereafter arising, within ten (10) days of such Grantor acquiring rights therein. Any
Receivable not otherwise required to be delivered or subjected to the control of the Collateral
Agent in accordance with this subsection (c) shall be delivered or subjected to such control upon
request of the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default.
4.4 Investment Related Property.
4.4.1 Investment Related Property Generally
(a) Covenants and Agreements. Each Grantor covenants and agrees that until
payment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than unmatured contingent obligations), the
cancellation or termination in full of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of all Secured
Hedging Agreements and the expiration or termination of all Secured Cash Management Agreements:
(i) in the event it acquires rights in any Investment Related Property, with a
value in excess of $1,000,000 (except with respect to Pledged Equity Interests) after the date
hereof, it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a completed Pledge Supplement, substantially in
the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, together with all Supplements to Schedules thereto,
reflecting such new Investment Related Property and all other Investment Related Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that the security interest of the
Collateral Agent shall attach to all Investment Related Property immediately upon any Grantors
acquisition of rights therein and shall not be affected by the failure of any Grantor to deliver a
supplement to Schedule 4.4 as required hereby;
(ii) except as provided in the next sentence, in the event such Grantor
receives any dividends, interest or distributions on any Investment Related Property, or any
securities or other
property upon the merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution of any issuer of any
Investment Related Property, then (a) such dividends, interest or distributions and securities or
other property shall be included in the definition of Collateral without further action and (b)
such Grantor shall within ten (10) Business Days take all steps, if any, necessary or advisable to
ensure the validity, perfection, priority and, if applicable, control of the Collateral Agent over
such Investment Related Property (including, without limitation, delivery thereof to the Collateral
Agent) and pending any such action such Grantor shall be deemed to hold such dividends, interest,
distributions, securities or other
property in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
shall segregate such dividends, distributions, Securities or other property from all other property
of such Grantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Collateral Agent authorizes each Grantor to retain all cash dividends and
distributions and all payments of interest and principal; and
(iii) each Grantor consents to the grant by each other Grantor of a Security
Interest in all Investment Related Property to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Delivery and Control.
(i) Each Grantor agrees that with respect to any Investment Related Property
in which it currently has rights and which is included in the Collateral it shall comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) on or before the date hereof and with respect to any Investment
Related Property hereafter acquired by such Grantor and which is included in the Collateral, it
shall comply with the provisions of this Section 4.4.1(b) within (10) Business Days upon acquiring
rights therein, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
With respect to any Investment Related Property that is represented by a certificate or that is an
instrument with the value in excess of $1,000,000 (other than any Investment Related Property
credited to a Securities Account) and which is included in the Collateral, it shall cause such
certificate or instrument to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, indorsed in blank by an
effective indorsement (as defined in Section 8-107 of the UCC), regardless of whether such
certificate constitutes a certificated security for purposes of the UCC. With respect to any
Investment Related Property that is an uncertificated security for purposes of the UCC (other
than any uncertificated securities credited to a Securities Account) and which is included in the
Collateral, it shall cause the issuer of such uncertificated security to either (i) register the
Collateral Agent as the registered owner thereof on the books and records of the issuer or (ii)
execute a control agreement reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent), pursuant to which such
issuer agrees to comply with the Collateral Agents instructions with respect to such
uncertificated security (such instructions only to be given upon an Event of Default that is
continuing in accordance with Section 7 hereof) without further consent by such Grantor.
(c) Voting and Distributions.
(i) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(1) | except as otherwise provided under the covenants and agreements relating to Investment Related Property in this Agreement or elsewhere herein or in the other ABL Documents, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise or refrain from exercising any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Investment Related Property or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or the other ABL Documents; | ||
(2) | the Collateral Agent, at each Grantors expense, shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all proxies, and other instruments as such Grantor may from time to time reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor with respect to Collateral registered in the name of the Collateral Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights when and to the extent which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (1) above and receive and retain dividends and other payments to the extent which it is entitled pursuant to Section 4.4.1(a)(ii) above; and | ||

possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the
extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate;
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC or PPSA, sell,
assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the
Collateral Agents offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time
or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem
commercially reasonable;
(v) appoint by instrument in writing a receiver (which term as used in this
Agreement includes a receiver and manager) or agent of all or any part of the Collateral and remove
or replace from time to time any receiver or agent;
(vi) institute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a receiver of all or any part of the Collateral; and
(vii) carry on all or any part of the business of any Grantor and, to the
exclusion of all others including the Grantors, enter upon, occupy and use all or any of the
premises, buildings, and other property of or used by any Grantor for such time as the Collateral
Agent sees fit, free of charge, and the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties are not liable to
the Grantor for any act, omission or negligence (other than their own gross negligence or wilful
misconduct) in so doing or for any rent, charges, depreciation or damages incurred in connection
with or resulting from such action.
(b) The Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of
the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being
privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC or the PPSA (as
applicable) and the Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured
Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the
purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance
with the UCC or the PPSA (as applicable), to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a
credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such
sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim
or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time
in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each
Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days
notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The
Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the
time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially
unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the
Collateral or any portion thereof by using
Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or
that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each
Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price
which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first
offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, provided this section
shall not restrict the operation of Section 9-615(f) of the UCC. If the proceeds of any sale or
other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the
Secured Obligations, the Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the fees of any
attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees
that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to
the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such
breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 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 default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and
payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way alter the
rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to
the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title
or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
(e) Any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent is vested with the rights and
remedies which could have been exercised by the Collateral Agent in respect of any Grantor or the
Collateral and such other powers and discretions as are granted in the instrument of appointment
and any supplemental instruments. The identity of the receiver, its replacement and its
remuneration are within the sole and unfettered discretion of the Collateral Agent.
(f) Any receiver appointed by the Collateral Agent will act as agent for the
Collateral Agent for the purposes of taking possession of the Collateral, but otherwise and for all
other purposes (except as provided below), as agent for the Grantors. The receiver may sell,
lease, or otherwise dispose of Collateral as agent for the Grantors or as agent for the Collateral
Agent as the Collateral Agent may determine in its discretion. The Grantors agree to ratify and
confirm all actions of the receiver as agent for the Grantors, and to release and indemnify the
receiver in respect of all such actions.
(g) The Collateral Agent, in appointing or refraining from appointing any receiver,
does not incur liability to the receiver, the Grantors or otherwise and is not responsible for any
misconduct or negligence of such receiver.
7.2 Application of Proceeds.
(a) Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, and subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of
any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of, the Collateral shall
be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations in the
following order of priority:
(I) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection
or other realization, including reasonable compensation to the Collateral Agent and its agents and
counsel, and all other expenses (including Expenses), liabilities and advances made or incurred by
the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the Collateral Agent is
entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent and not as a Lender)
and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the account of the applicable Grantor,
and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection
with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Credit Agreement, all in accordance
with the terms hereof or thereof;
(II) second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of
all amounts (including Expenses) owing to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
(III) third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of
all amounts (including Expenses) owing to any Issuing Lender in its capacity as such;
(IV) fourth, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of
the outstanding Primary Obligations which are Credit Document Obligations to the Secured Parties
(other than the Secured Hedging Creditors and the Secured Cash Management Creditors) as provided in
Section 7.2(e) hereof, with each such Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding
Primary Obligations which are Credit Document Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to
pay in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount
remaining to be distributed;
(V) fifth, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of
the outstanding Secondary Obligations which are Credit Document Obligations to the Secured Parties
(other than the Secured Hedging Creditors and the Secured Cash Management Creditors) as provided in
Section 7.2(e) hereof, with each such Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding
Secondary Obligations which are Credit Document Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to
pay in full all such Secondary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to
be distributed;
(VI) sixth, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of
the outstanding Primary Obligations which are Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured
Hedging Obligations to the Secured Parties which are Secured Hedging Creditors or Secured Cash
Management Creditors as provided in Section 7.2(e) hereof, with each such Secured Party receiving
an amount equal to its outstanding Primary Obligations which are Secured Cash Management
Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full
all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be distributed;
(VII) seventh, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment
of the outstanding Secondary Obligations which are Secured Cash Management Obligations and Secured
Hedging Obligations shall be paid to the Secured Parties which are Secured Hedging Creditors or
Secured Cash Management Creditors as provided in Section 7.2(e) hereof, with each such Secured
Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secondary Obligations which are Secured Cash
Management Obligations and Secured Hedging Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay
in full all such Primary Obligations, its Pro Rata Share of the amount remaining to be
distributed; and
(VIII) eighth, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the relevant
Grantor or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus (including to the holders
of the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Obligations and the Subordinated Lien Obligations as
provided in the Intercreditor Agreement).
(b) For purposes of this Agreement: (i) Pro Rata Share shall mean,
when calculating a Secured Partys portion of any distribution or amount, that amount (expressed as
a percentage) equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the then unpaid amount of such Secured
Partys Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, and the denominator of
which is the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the
case may be, of the relevant Secured Parties; (ii) Primary Obligations shall mean (x) in the case
of the Credit Document Obligations, all principal of, premium, fees and interest on, all Loans, all
Unpaid Drawings (and all interest thereon), the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
and all Fees, (y) in the case of the Secured Hedging Obligations, all amounts due to a Secured
Hedging Creditor under each Secured Hedging Agreement (other than indemnities, fees (including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) and similar obligations and liabilities) and (z) in
the case of Secured Cash Management Obligations, all amounts due under each Secured Cash Management
Agreement with a Secured Cash Management Creditor (other than indemnities, fees (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees) and similar obligations and liabilities); and (iii)
Secondary Obligations shall mean all Secured Obligations other than Primary Obligations.
(c) When payments to Secured Parties are based upon their respective Pro Rata
Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Parties hereunder shall be applied (for purposes of
making determinations under this Section 7.2 only) (i) first, to their Primary Obligations
and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to any Secured Party of
its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party,
such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Primary Obligations or
Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other relevant Secured Parties, with each
Secured Party whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, have not been
paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the
numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be,
of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary
Obligations, as the case may be, of all relevant Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.
(d) Each of the Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof and of the
other Security Documents, agrees and acknowledges that if the Lender Creditors receive a
distribution on account of undrawn amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued under the
Credit Agreement (which shall only occur after all outstanding Revolving Loans under the Credit
Agreement and Unpaid Drawings have been paid in full), such amounts shall be paid to the
Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement and held by it, for the equal and ratable benefit
of the Lender Creditors, as cash security for the repayment of Obligations owing to the Lender
Creditors as such. If any amounts are held as cash security pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence, then upon the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement, and after the application of all such cash security to the repayment of all Obligations
owing to the Lender Creditors after giving effect to the termination of all such Letters of Credit,
if there remains any excess cash, such excess cash shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to
the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with Section 7.2(a) hereof.
(e) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made (x) if to the Lender
Creditors, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Creditors, and (y) if to the
Secured Hedging Creditors or the Secured Cash Management Creditors, to the trustee, paying agent
or other similar representative (each, a Representative) for the Secured Hedging Creditors or the
Secured Cash Management Creditors, as applicable, or, in the absence of such a Representative,
directly to the Secured Hedging Creditors or the Secured Cash Management Creditors, as applicable.
(f) For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 7.2, the
Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the Administrative Agent and (ii) the
Representative or, in the absence of such a Representative, upon the Secured Hedging Creditors and
the Secured Cash Management Creditors, as applicable, for a determination (which the Administrative
Agent, each Representative, the Secured Hedging Creditors and the Secured Cash Management Creditors
agree (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Collateral Agent) of the outstanding Primary
Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Lender Creditors or the Secured Hedging Creditors
or the Secured Cash Management Creditors, as the case may be. Unless it has received written
notice from a Lender Creditor, a Secured Hedging Creditor or a Secured Cash Management Creditor to
the contrary, the Administrative Agent and each Representative, in furnishing information pursuant
to the preceding sentence, and the Collateral Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to
assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding. Unless it has written notice from a Secured
Hedging Creditor or a Secured Cash Management Creditor to the contrary, the Collateral Agent, in
acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash
Management Agreements, as applicable, are in existence.
(g) It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the
extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate
amount of the Secured Obligations.
(h) It is understood and agreed by each Grantor and each Secured Party that the
Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 7.2
(including, without limitation, as to whether given Collateral constitutes Notes Priority
Collateral or ABL Priority Collateral), in each case except to the extent resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). Each Grantor and each Secured Party also
agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole
discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction
regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof and of the
Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may
conclusively rely on, any such determination.
7.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit,
the applicable Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received
by Collateral Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails
to pay for the Collateral, Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor
shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
7.4 Deposit Accounts.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may apply
the balance from any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Accounts) or instruct the bank at which
any Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Accounts) is maintained to pay the balance of any
Deposit Account (other than the Exempt Accounts) to or for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.
7.5 Investment Related Property.
Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities
Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Agent may be compelled, with respect to
any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration
or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state
securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the
Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the
distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at
prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such
restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the
Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private
sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral
Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any
Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to
register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under
applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it.
If the Collateral Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment
Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any
Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time
to time to furnish to the Collateral
Agent all such information as the Collateral Agent may request
in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in
the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Agent in exempt transactions
under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
7.6 Intellectual Property.
(a) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
(i) the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to
bring suit or otherwise commence any action or proceeding in the name of any Grantor, the
Collateral Agent or otherwise, in the Collateral Agents sole discretion, to enforce any Grantor
Intellectual Property, in which event such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent,
do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents reasonably required by the Collateral
Agent in aid of such enforcement and such Grantor shall, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the
Collateral Agent as provided in Section 11 hereof in connection with the exercise of its rights
under this Section, and, to the extent that the Collateral Agent shall elect not to bring suit to
enforce any Grantor Intellectual Property as provided in this Section, each Grantor agrees to use
commercially reasonable measures to the extent necessary, whether by action, suit, proceeding or
otherwise, to prevent the infringement or other violation of any of such Grantors rights in any
Grantor Intellectual Property that is material to its business by others and for that purpose
agrees to diligently maintain any action, suit or proceeding against any Person so infringing as
shall be necessary to prevent such infringement or violation;
(ii) upon written demand from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall grant,
assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Agent or such Collateral Agents designee
all of such Grantors right, title and interest in and to the Grantor Intellectual Property and
shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents as are necessary or appropriate to
carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(iii) each Grantor agrees that such an assignment and/or recording shall be
applied to reduce the Secured Obligations outstanding only to the extent that the Collateral Agent
(or any Secured Party) receives cash proceeds in respect of the sale of, or other realization upon,
the Grantor Intellectual Property; and
(iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to notify, or require each
Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in
respect of the Grantor Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created
herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral
Agent, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any
such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner
and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(1) | all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 7.7 hereof; and | ||
(2) | such Grantor shall not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount or release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or allow any credit or discount thereon. |
(b) If (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and, by reason of cure, waiver,
modification, amendment or otherwise, no longer be continuing, (ii) no other Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, (iii) an assignment or other transfer to the Collateral Agent of
any rights, title and interests in and to the Grantor Intellectual Property shall have been
previously made and shall have become absolute and effective, and (iv) the Secured Obligations
shall not have become immediately due and payable, upon the written request of any Grantor, the
Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor, at such Grantors sole cost
and expense, such assignments or other transfer as may be necessary to reassign to such Grantor any
such rights, title and interests as may have been assigned to the Collateral Agent as aforesaid,
subject to any disposition thereof that may have been made by the Collateral Agent; provided, after
giving effect to such reassignment, the Collateral Agents security interest granted pursuant
hereto, as well as all other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent granted hereunder, shall
continue to be in full force and effect; and provided further, the rights, title and interests so
reassigned shall be free and clear of any other Liens granted by or on behalf of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties.
(c) Solely for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and
remedies under this Section 7 after an Event of Default and at such time as the Collateral Agent
shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Collateral Agent, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the
case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor
to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, operate under, license, or sublicense
any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same
may be located.
7.7 Cash Proceeds. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent specified in
Section 4.3 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any
Grantor consisting
of cash, checks and other non-cash items (collectively, Cash Proceeds) shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall,
forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.4(a)(ii),
be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by
such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required) and held by the Collateral Agent in the
Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent (whether from a Grantor or
otherwise): (i) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be held by the
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, may, in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent, (A) be held by the
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the
Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be
applied by the Collateral Agent against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT.
2. The Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as Collateral Agent hereunder by the Lenders
and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent
shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to
exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action
(including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance
with this Agreement and the other ABL Documents. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and
each other Security Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral
Agent acting upon the instructions of the Required Secured Parties and that no other Secured Party
shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or any other
Security Document or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and
agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of
the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Security Documents.
SECTION 9. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST; TRANSFER OF LOANS; RELEASES.
3. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall
remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations, the
cancellation or termination in full of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, the cancellation or
expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the expiration or termination of all Secured
Hedging Agreements and the expiration or termination of all Secured Cash Management Agreements, be
binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its
successors, transferees and assigns and, upon such payment in full, cancellation, termination or
expiration, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of
record. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Credit
Agreement, any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any Loans held by it to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall, at
the Grantors expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors (or authorize the filing by the Grantors
of) any documents that the Grantors shall reasonably request, including financing statement
amendments, to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of property including Capital Stock
of a Grantor permitted by the ABL Documents to a Person that is not a Grantor and in compliance
with all provisions of the ABL Documents for release of the Liens on such property, the Liens
granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically
revert to the applicable Grantor, or such Grantor shall be automatically released, as the case may
be, in each case, with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at
the Grantors expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as
Grantors shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 10. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
4. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest
in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for
the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as
to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to
have exercised reasonable care in the custody
and preservation of Collateral in its possession if
such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Agent
accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part
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 otherwise. If any Grantor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself (but shall not be
obligated to) perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral
Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 13.01 of the
Credit Agreement.
SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
11.1 Miscellaneous. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this
Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 13.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure or
delay on the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
hereunder or under any other ABL Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any
other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the
other ABL Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise
available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations
of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such
action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the Collateral Agent and Grantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except
as permitted under the ABL Documents, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the
Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Credit Agreement, assign any right, duty or
obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other ABL Documents embody the entire agreement and
understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Accordingly, the ABL Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the
parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an
original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument;
signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single
counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of
an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission (or other electronic means,
including .pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart to this Agreement.
11.2 Waiver; Amendment. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement with
respect to updating Schedules hereto and adding or releasing Grantors hereunder, none of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any other Security Documents may be changed, waived, modified
or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing duly signed by each Grantor directly affected
thereby (it being understood that the addition or release of any Grantor hereunder shall not
constitute a change, waiver, discharge or termination affecting any Grantor other than the Grantor
so added or released) and the Collateral Agent (with the written consent of the Required Secured
Parties); provided, however, that any change, waiver, modification or variance
affecting the rights and benefits of a single Class of Secured
Parties (and not all Secured Parties in a like or similar manner) also shall require the
written consent of the Requisite Secured Parties of such affected Class. For the purpose of this
Agreement, the term Class shall mean each class of Secured Parties, i.e., whether (x) the
Lender Creditors as holders of the Credit Document Obligations, (y) the Secured Hedging Creditors
as the holders of the Secured Hedging Obligations and (z) the Secured Cash Management Creditors as
the holder of the Secured Cash Management Obligations. For the purpose of this Agreement, the term
Requisite Secured Parties of any Class shall mean each of (x) with respect to the Credit Document
Obligations, the Required Lenders (or, to the extent provided in Section 13.12 of the Credit

undersigned, [ ] (the Additional Grantor), pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Security
Agreement. The Additional Grantor hereby agrees to be bound as a Grantor party to the Security

same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Security Agreement on
the date of the Security Agreement. The Additional Grantor also hereby agrees to be bound as a
party by all of the terms, covenants and conditions applicable to it set forth in the Credit
Agreement to the same extent that it would have been bound if it had been a signatory to the Credit
Agreement on the execution date of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Additional Grantor hereby grants and pledges to the Collateral Agent, as collateral
security for the full, prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, a security interest in and
continuing lien on, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Collateral and
expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Grantor thereunder. The Additional Grantor
hereby makes each of the representations and warranties and agrees to each of the covenants

Annexed hereto are supplements to each of the schedules to the Security Agreement with respect
to the Additional Grantor. Such supplements shall be deemed to be part of the Security Agreement.
This Counterpart Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts,
each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
THIS COUNTERPART AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Additional Grantor has caused this Counterpart Agreement to be
