(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it is the understanding of the parties that the Liens granted pursuant to clause (a) above shall (i) with respect to Collateral other than Collateral constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral, (x) prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, be subject and subordinate, as and to the extent provided for in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, to the Liens granted to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties to secure the ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Security Agreement and (y) prior to the Discharge of Additional ABL Obligations, be subject and subordinate, as and to the extent provided for in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, to the Liens granted to any Additional ABL Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Additional ABL Obligations to secure such Additional ABL Obligations pursuant to the Additional ABL Collateral Documents as and to the extent provided for therein, and (ii) with respect to all Collateral, prior to the Discharge of Additional Term Obligations, be pari passu and equal in priority to the Liens granted to any Additional Term Agent for the benefit of the holders of the applicable Additional Term Obligations to secure such Additional Term Obligations pursuant to the applicable Additional Term Collateral Documents (except, in the case of this sub-clause (ii), as may be separately otherwise agreed between the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties and any Additional Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Additional Term Secured Parties, including pursuant to a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement). The Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees that the relative priority of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the ABL Agent and any Additional Agent shall be determined solely pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and not by priority as a matter of law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms


of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control as among (i) the Collateral Agent, the ABL Agent and any Additional Agent, in the case of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) the Collateral Agent and Additional Term Loan Agent, in the case of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and (iii) the Collateral Agent and any other secured creditor (or agent therefor) party thereto, in the case of any Other Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any such conflict, each Grantor may act (or omit to act) in accordance with such Intercreditor Agreement, and shall not be in breach, violation or default of its obligations hereunder by reason of doing so. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, (x) for so long as any ABL Obligations or any Additional ABL Obligations remain outstanding, any obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral shall be satisfied by causing such ABL Priority Collateral to be delivered to the ABL Agent or the applicable ABL Collateral Representative, to be held in accordance with the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and (y) for so long as any Additional Term Obligations remain outstanding, any obligation hereunder to deliver to the Collateral Agent any Collateral shall be satisfied by causing such Collateral to be delivered to the applicable Collateral Representative to be held in accordance with the applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts of such Grantor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Term Loan Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this


Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Account (or any agreement giving rise thereto) of such Grantor, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

All Proceeds of Collateral received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control and on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement). All Proceeds of Collateral while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Guaranteed Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.04.

5.05 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a


secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) or any other applicable law or in equity and also, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind except as specified below, subject to any existing reserved rights or licenses, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker’s board or at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral 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, 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 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 law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold and the Collateral Agent or such Term Loan Secured Party may, subject to (x) the satisfaction in full in cash of all payments due pursuant to Section 8.04(a) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and (y) the ratable satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.04 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten 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. To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim 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 that 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. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request (subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places and times which the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it


pursuant to this Section 5.05 in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, 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.

5.06 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Guaranteed Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

5.07 Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Grantor shall (to the maximum extent permitted by law) remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Grantor and without notice to or further assent by any Grantor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, (b) the Guaranteed Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party, (c) the Secured Debt Documents, and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Debt Document and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Guaranteed Obligations or for this Agreement or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other Grantor, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any other Grantor or any release of the Borrower or any other Grantor shall not relieve any Grantor in respect of which a demand or collection is not made or any Grantor not so released of its several obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purpose hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.


5.08 Conflict with Term Loan Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 5 and the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall prevail.

(a) Subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, without assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following at the same time or at different times, in each case after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

(i) take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s and the Term Loan Secured Parties’ Security Interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any Collateral;


(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.05, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral;

(v) obtain, pay and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement;

(vi) solely with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(f) and 8.01(g) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, send verifications of Accounts to any Person who is or who may become obligated to any Grantor under, with respect to or on account of an Account;

(vii) solely with respect to an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) and 8.01(f) of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct;

(viii) ask or demand for, collect and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral;

(ix) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, notices and other documents in connection with any of the Collateral;

(x) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(xi) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral (with such Grantor’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent at law);

(xii) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate (with such Grantor’s consent (not to be


unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the extent such action or its resolution could materially affect such Grantor or any of its Affiliates in any manner other than with respect to its continuing rights in such Collateral; provided that such consent right shall not limit any other rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent at law);

(xiii) subject to any existing reserved rights and licenses, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its reasonable business discretion determine; and

(xiv) generally, but subject to any existing reserved rights and licenses, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the Term Loan Secured Parties’ Security Interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

Anything in this Section 6.0l(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.01(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as permitted under this Section 6.01, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the highest rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on any category of past due Base Rate Loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the Security Interests created hereby are released.

6.02 Duty of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession,


under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any 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, any other Term Loan Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s and the other Term Loan Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6.03 Authority of Collateral Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, be governed by this Agreement and such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Term Loan Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

6.04 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interests created hereby and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall (to the maximum extent permitted by law) be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any other Secured Debt Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Guaranteed 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 Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Term Loan Credit Agreement, any other Secured Debt Document, 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 Guaranteed Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance (other than a defense of payment or performance) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or this Agreement.

6.05 Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Secured Debt Documents; Release.

(a) This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon each Grantor and the successors and assigns thereof and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Release Date.

(b) A Subsidiary Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interests in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Grantor created hereby shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Grantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary.

(c) The Security Interests in any Collateral created hereby shall be automatically released and such Collateral sold, free and clear of the Lien and Security Interests created hereby (w) upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement (other than to another Grantor), (x) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interests created hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, (y) upon property constituting Excluded Property or (z) as otherwise provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), 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 or confirm such termination or release.

6.06 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Grantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Grantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.


  7. Miscellaneous.

7.01 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the affected Grantor and the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through agreements substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 in each case duly executed by each Grantor directly effected thereby.

7.02 Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 10.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 10.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

7.03 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof or of any other applicable Secured Debt Document. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Term Loan Secured Party would otherwise have on any other occasion. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

7.04 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented or invoiced expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that may be paid or incurred by any Term Loan Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, such Grantor under this Agreement, in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.


(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes, charges or similar levies which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, in each case to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

(d) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Guaranteed Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The agreements in this Section 7.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or, any other Loan Document or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 7.04 shall be payable within 30 days after demand therefor.

7.05 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and by the Term Loan Credit Agreement, except that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, except pursuant to a transaction or otherwise as permitted by the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

7.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.


7.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

7.08 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7.09 Integration. This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the agreement of each of the Grantors with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Secured Debt Documents (and each other agreement or instrument executed or issued in connection therewith).

7.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

7.11 Submission to Jurisdiction Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court,” and together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”) and appellate courts from either of them and agrees that any such action or proceeding shall be brought solely in such New York Courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Collateral Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Guaranteed Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 7.11 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment, (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or, in the


case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction and (iv) in the event a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its assets or property in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party from asserting a claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this Section 7.11 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding;

(b) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this section;

(c) consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.02; and

(d) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 7.11 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages;

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any court referred to in paragraph (a) above.

Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law.

7.12 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor;

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Term Loan Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Term Loan Secured Parties; and


(d) upon any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may proceed without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.

7.13 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement 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.

7.14 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES 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 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 7.14 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

7.15 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

EXHIBIT 1 TO THE

TERM LOAN SECURITY AGREEMENT

SUPPLEMENT NO. [    ], dated as of [            ] (this “Supplement”), to the Term Loan Security Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2014 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (as further defined in the Security Agreement, the “Borrower”), each of the subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto from time to time (each such subsidiary, individually, a “Subsidiary Grantor” and, collectively, the “Subsidiary Grantors”; and, together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Grantors”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as collateral agent for the Term Loan Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

A. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein (including terms used in the preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Security Agreement.

B. The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.02, 1.05, 1.06 and 1.07 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall apply to this Supplement, including terms defined in the preamble and recitals hereto.

C. Section 7.13 of the Security Agreement provides that each Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to the Security Agreement pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor therein, for all purposes of the Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. Each undersigned Subsidiary (each, a “New Grantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Security Agreement to become a Subsidiary Grantor under the Security Agreement as consideration for the Guaranteed Obligations.

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

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 7.13 of the Security Agreement, each 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 each 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 in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such earlier date). In furtherance of the

 

4-1


foregoing, each New Grantor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, does hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Collateral of such New Grantor, in each case whether now or hereafter existing or in which now has or hereafter acquires an interest. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include each New Grantor. The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any provision of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Guaranteed Obligations of any Grantor shall not extend to or include any Excluded Swap Obligation (as defined in the Guaranty).

SECTION 2. Each New Grantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Term Loan 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, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic transmission of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Supplement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Supplement. The Collateral Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier or other electronic transmission.

SECTION 4. Such New Grantor hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule A attached hereto is (i) the legal name of such New Grantor, (ii) the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and chief executive officer of such New Grantor and (iii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of such New Grantor and (b) as of the date hereof (i) Schedule B hereto sets forth all of the Registered Intellectual Property owned by such New Grantor in its name, and indicates for each such item, as applicable, the title, application and/or registration number, date of filing and/or issuance, and the identity of the current applicant or registered owner, and (ii) Schedule C hereto sets forth all Exclusive IP Agreements that such New Grantor is a party to, and indicates for each such IP Agreement, the title of such IP Agreement, the date of such IP Agreement, the parties to such IP Agreement, and the title, registration number, date of filing and the identity of the registered owner of each registered United States Copyright exclusively licensed to any Grantor pursuant to such IP Agreement.

 

4-2


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, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 7. Any provision of this Supplement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and in the Security Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Security Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each New Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address set forth in Section 10.02 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.

SECTION 9. Each New Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable and documented fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent to the extent required to be reimbursed pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
