(a)                                 The Capital Stock of a Subsidiary of Issuer that is owned by Issuer or any other Grantor will constitute Pledged Collateral only to the extent that such Capital Stock can secure the Notes and the related Note Guarantees without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency).  In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secures the Notes and the related Note Guarantees, then the Capital Stock and securities of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Pledged Collateral (but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement).  In such event, this Agreement and the other Security Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder, to the extent necessary to release the security interest on the Capital Stock that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

(b)                                 In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulations adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to secure the Notes and the Note Guarantees in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral (but only to the extent permitted without resulting in any such financial statement requirement).  In such event, this Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Holder, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Pledged Collateral such additional Capital Stock.

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect or being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing authorizations, in no event shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to prepare or file any financing statements whatsoever, or to maintain the perfection of the security interest granted hereunder.  Each Grantor agrees to prepare, record and file, at its own expense, financing statements (and amendments and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Collateral now existing or hereafter created meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Collateral, and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of filing to the Collateral Agent.  Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be under any obligation whatsoever to

13

file any such financing or continuation statements or to make any other filing under the UCC in connection with this Agreement or any other Covered Document.

(e)                                  The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

SECTION 3.02                            Real Property.

(a)                                 In the event that any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations are incurred following the Issue Date, the Grantors shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof in writing and take all such action as may be reasonably required to amend each then existing Mortgage in order to cause such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations to be secured equally and ratably with the then-existing Secured Obligations.

SECTION 3.03                            Representations and Warranties.  Each Grantor jointly and severally represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that:

(a)                                 Each Grantor has good title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.

(b)                                 This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Grantor that is party hereto.  This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Grantor, enforceable against each Grantor that is party hereto in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.

(c)                                  The Perfection Information has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material respects as of the Issue Date.  The UCC financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Section 3 to the Perfection Information (or specified by notice from such Grantor to the Collateral Agent after the Issue Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 12.01 of the Indenture or by the applicable provisions of any other Covered Document), are all the filings, recordings and registrations (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor) that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements. Each Grantor represents and warrants that a Trademark Security Agreement and Copyright Security Agreement containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property Collateral with respect to United States Patents, United States Trademarks (other than Trademark applications filed on an “intent-to-use” basis until such time as a statement of use is filed with and duly accepted by the United States Patent

14

and Trademark Office) and United States Copyrights, in each case owned by such Grantor, has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and each Grantor will cause such Trademark Security Agreement and Copyright Security Agreement to be recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such Intellectual Property Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed after the Issue Date).

(d)                                 The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.03(c) or the Collateral Agent obtaining Control, a perfected security interest in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by Control, filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction and (iii) subject to Section 3.03(c), a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement (or a short form thereof or hereof) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable (if and to the extent perfection may be achieved by such filing).  The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (A) in the case of the Notes Obligations (i) any nonconsensual Lien that is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture and has priority as a matter of law and (ii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture and (B) in the case of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligation, Liens expressly permitted by the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreement relating to the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations.

(e)                                  The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture.  None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, (x) in the case of the Notes Obligations, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture and (y) in the case of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, Liens expressly permitted by the applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreement relating to the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations.

SECTION 3.04                            Covenants.

(a)                                 Each Grantor agrees promptly (and, in any event, within five Business Days or any such change) to (A) notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in legal name of any Grantor, (ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) in the jurisdiction

15

of organization of any Grantor, or (iv) in its organizational identification number (in the case of this clause (iv), to the extent an organizational identification number is required by applicable law to be disclosed on the UCC financing statements for such Grantor) and (B) make all filings within any applicable statutory period, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected second priority security interest in all the Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b)                                 Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture or the terms of any Additional Pari Passu Agreement.

(c)                                  On a continuing basis, each Grantor shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) promptly following its becoming aware thereof, notify the Collateral Agent of any adverse determination in any proceeding or the institution of any proceeding in any federal, state or local court or administrative body or in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office regarding any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, such Grantor’s right to register such Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to keep and maintain such registration in full force and effect (other than non-final office actions issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office), (ii) not permit to lapse or become abandoned or fail to maintain any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, and not settle or compromise any pending or future litigation or administrative proceeding with respect to any such Material Intellectual Property Collateral, in either case except as shall be consistent with commercially reasonable business judgment, (iii) upon such Grantor obtaining knowledge thereof, promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any event which may be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of any Material Intellectual Property Collateral or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in relation thereto including a levy or threat of levy or any legal process against any Material Intellectual Property Collateral, (iv) not license any Intellectual Property Collateral other than licenses entered into by such Grantor in, or incidental to, the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, (v) amend or permit the amendment of any licenses of Intellectual Property Collateral in a manner that materially and adversely affects the right to receive payments thereunder, or in any manner that would materially impair the value of any Intellectual Property Collateral or the Lien on and security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral created therein hereby, without the consent of the Collateral Agent and (vi) furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor reasonably detailed statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to any Intellectual Property Collateral as the Collateral Agent may from time to time request.

(d)                                 The Grantors shall promptly (or, in the case of Intellectual Property Collateral, within 20 Business Days after the first day of each fiscal quarter) notify the Collateral Agent in writing if, after the Issue Date, the Issuer or any Subsidiary obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, Intellectual Property Collateral that is registered or subject to a pending application for registration, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights which has not yet been perfected and shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as are reasonably appropriate to effect the Collateral Agent’s duly perfected, second priority (subject to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) Lien upon such Collateral.  If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at the Collateral Agent’s request, the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable

16

efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent.

(e)                                  The Issuer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(f)                                   At its option, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and the Mortgaged Properties and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture or pursuant to the terms of any Additional Pari Passu Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral and Mortgaged Properties to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement or pursuant to the terms of any Additional Pari Passu Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within ten days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Covered Documents.

(g)                                  If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(h)                                 Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

SECTION 3.05                            Other Actions.  In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a)                                 Investment Property.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated

17

securities, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank.  If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, following the occurrence of an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and pursuant to an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.

(b)                                 Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim (other than, as long as no Event of Default exists, a Commercial Tort Claim for less than $3.0 million), such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing signed by such Grantor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(c)                                  Deposit Accounts and Securities Account.  SCHEDULE IV sets forth all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts maintained by the Grantors as of the date hereof.  Prior to the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Indenture or the other Covered Documents, none of the Grantors shall be required to enter into any deposit account control agreement or securities account control agreement with respect to any deposit account or securities account other than any deposit account control agreements to the extent required by the Credit Agreement, the Indenture or the Intercreditor Agreement and other than with respect to any cash collateral agreements to the extent required by this Agreement with respect to any Collateral that consists of cash.  For purposes of Section 7 of the Intercreditor Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, each Grantor grants to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in its Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.  After the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, each Grantor shall take all actions necessary to establish the Collateral Agent’s Control of each Deposit Account and Securities Account other than: (i) each Deposit Account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, or employee benefits as set forth in SCHEDULE IV or any replacement account exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes or employee benefits; (ii) each disbursement account of the Grantors as set forth on SCHEDULE IV or any replacement disbursement account that is reasonably acceptable to Agent; (iii) each trust account listed on SCHEDULE IV maintained at U.S. Bank National Association (or any replacement account thereof) so long as the average account balance in the accounts described in this clause (iii) is in an amount consistent with the ordinary course of business and past practices of the Obligors and, in any event, does not exceed (x) at any time other than during a Trigger Event Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), $10,000,000 in the aggregate or (y) after the commencement and during the continuation of a Trigger Event Period, $2,000,000 in the aggregate; and (iv) each Deposit Account and Securities Account, other than those described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, containing not more than $75,000 at any time; provided that the aggregate amount contained in all such accounts under this clause (iv) shall not exceed $750,000 at any time.  Each Grantor shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and Securities Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than the Collateral Agent and the First Lien Agent) to have Control over a Deposit Account or Securities Account.

18

Each Grantor shall promptly notify Agent of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account and Securities Account and will amend SCHEDULE IV to reflect the same.

(d)                                 Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any Grantor, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the First Lien Agent in any assets such Grantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent, including with respect to any property and real property in which the First Lien Agent directs a Grantor to grant or perfect a Lien or take such other action under the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

SECTION 4.01                            Remedies upon Default.

(a)                                 Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the duty) to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the New York UCC) in any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral 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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(b)                                 The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at

such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance or paying any premium in whole or in part relating thereto.  All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within ten days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 4.02                            Application of Proceeds.

(a)                                 The Collateral Agent shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral or Mortgaged Property, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority:

20

(i)                  first, pro rata, to amounts owing to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, to amounts owing to the Trustee in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to amounts owing to any Additional Pari Passu Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of such Additional Pari Passu Agreement;

(ii)               second, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the Secured Obligations) owed to them on the date of any such distribution; and

(iii)            third, to the Issuer and/or other persons entitled thereto.

(b)                                 If, despite the provisions of this Agreement, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 4.02.

(c)                                  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money therefor by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that (i) any of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations, (ii) any of the Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations do not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral and/or (iii) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than other Secured Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations but junior to the security interest of the Notes Obligations (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations), the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, and the rights of the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations subject to such Impairment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of the holders of the Notes Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Secured Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Secured Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(e)                                  In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 4.02, the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Trustee or Additional Pari Passu Agent as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for

21

actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied.  All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by any Additional Pari Passu Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Covered Document to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall exercise remedies and sell the Collateral at the written direction of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Obligations outstanding at the time of such action; provided that if the Collateral Agent has asked the holders of Secured Obligations for instructions and the applicable holders have not yet responded to such request, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized (but shall not have the duty) to take such actions which the Collateral Agent believes to be required to promote and protect the interests of the holders of the Secured Obligations and/or to preserve the value of the Collateral.

SECTION 4.03                            Intellectual Property.

(a)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, and for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Article IV hereof at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located.  Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof.  The license (i) shall be subject to those exclusive Intellectual Property Licenses granted by any Grantor to other Persons in effect on the date hereof and those granted by any Grantor hereafter, as permitted under the Indenture, to the extent conflicting, and (ii) apply to the use of the Trademarks in connection with goods and services of similar type and quality to those theretofore sold by such Grantor under such Trademark.

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.  Within five (5) Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Agent, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Collateral Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Grantor under the Intellectual Property Collateral, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Agent’s behalf.

(b)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.  In the event of such suit, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all documents requested by the Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and the Grantors shall promptly reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in the exercise of its rights under this Section 4.03 in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  In the event that the Collateral Agent

22

shall elect not to bring suit to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, to take all commercially reasonable actions necessary, whether by suit, proceeding or other action, to prevent the infringement, counterfeiting, unfair competition, dilution, diminution in value of or other damage to any of the Intellectual Property Collateral by any Person.

ARTICLE V

Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 5.01                            Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 5.02) that, in the event assets of any other Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 6.14, the date of the Security Agreement Supplement executed and delivered by such Grantor).  Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 5.02                            Subordination.

(a)                                 Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Section 5.01 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.  No failure on the part of any Grantor to make the payments required by Section 5.01 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default all Indebtedness owed by it to any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

SECTION 6.01                            Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 13.02 of the Indenture.  All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Issuer as provided in Section 13.02 of the Indenture and all notices to any Additional Pari Passu Agent shall be given to it at the address set forth in the Additional Pari Passu Joinder Agreement.

SECTION 6.02                            Waivers; Amendment.

(a)                                 No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, any Holder or any other Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Covered Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

23

the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, any Holder or any other Secured Party hereunder and under the other Covered Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)                                 Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article Nine of the Indenture and corresponding provisions of each Additional Pari Passu Agreement.

SECTION 6.03                            Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)                                 The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 7.07 of the Indenture and the applicable provisions of any Additional Pari Passu Agreement, in each case, or any other reference to any Additional Pari Passu Agreement as if such section were set out in full herein and references to “the Issuer” therein were references to each Grantor and references to the Trustee or the Additional Pari Passu Agent, as the case may be, therein were references to the Collateral Agent.

(b)                                 Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Note Documents, the Issuer agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee or (y) a material breach of this Agreement by such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.

(c)                                  Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents.  The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Covered Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Covered Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 6.03 shall be payable within ten days of written demand therefor.

SECTION 6.04                            Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors

24

and assigns.  If the Collateral Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.05                            Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Covered Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Covered Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Covered Documents, the issuance of the Notes and the issuance of any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligation.

SECTION 6.06                            Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication (such as a “.pdf” or “.tif”) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture or any applicable Additional Pari Passu Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

SECTION 6.07                            Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 6.08                            Right of Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Secured Party and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Issuer or any other Grantor, any such notice being waived by the Issuer (on their own behalf and on behalf of each Grantor and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Secured Party and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Grantors and their Subsidiaries against any and all Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Party and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Covered Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Covered Document and although such Secured Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the ap plicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Issuer and the Collateral

25

Agent after any such set off and application made by such Secured Party, as the case may be; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 6.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Collateral Agent and such other Secured Party may have.

SECTION 6.09                            Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a)                                 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)                                 ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, SHALL BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS (A) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, (B) OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, (C) OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR (D) OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE (PROVIDED THAT IF NONE OF SUCH COURTS CAN AND WILL EXERCISE SUCH JURISDICTION, SUCH EXCLUSIVITY SHALL NOT APPLY), AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  EACH GRANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.

SECTION 6.10                            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 6.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT, TO ITS KNOWLEDGE, NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND AGREEMENT AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 6.12                            Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Note Document, any Additional Pari Passu Agreement, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Note Document, any Additional Pari Passu Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

SECTION 6.13                            Termination or Release.

(a)                                 The Liens securing the Notes Obligations will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 12.03 of the Indenture.

(b)                                 The Liens securing Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations of any series will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in the Additional Pari Passu Agreement governing such obligations.

(c)                                  In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 6.13, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.14                            Additional Grantors.  Any Person required to become party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture or corresponding provisions of any Additional Pari Passu Agreement may do so by executing and delivering a Security Agreement Supplement and such Person shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 6.15                            Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until termination of all Covered Documents) and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the duty), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any part thereof;

27

SECTION 6.16                            General Authority of the Collateral Agent.  By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating to any Collateral or Mortgaged Property or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Security Documents.  The Collateral Agent is not and shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary for any Grantor or any Secured Party.

A.            Reference is made to the indenture dated as of July 9, 2012 (as amended, amended and restated, extended, renewed, refinanced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), by and among the Issuer, each Guarantor (as defined in the Indenture), the Trustee and the Collateral Agent.

B.            Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Security Agreement referred to therein.

C.            The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement pursuant to the requirements of the Indenture and/or Additional Pari Passu Agreement.  Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement provides that certain Persons may become Grantors under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Person (the “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement as required by the Indenture and/or Additional Pari Passu Agreement.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Grantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  In accordance with Section 6.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Grantor by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Grantor hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Grantor.  Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Grantor.  The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2.  The New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and by general principles of equity.

SECTION 3.  This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral

1

Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Grantor, and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4.  The New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the Pledged Collateral and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Grantor, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.

SECTION 5.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6.  THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 9.  The New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.
