(e)                                  Subject to Section 5(i) below and the Intercreditor Agreement, upon any termination by a Grantor of any Securities Account or any securities intermediary with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately:

(i)                                     comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Trustee directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts without the further consent of the Grantor and

(ii)                                  waive or subordinate in favor of the Collateral Trustee all claims of the Pledged Account Banks (including claims by way of a security interest, lien or right of setoff or right of recoupment) to the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, which authenticated record shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and as negotiated in good faith by, the Collateral Trustee

(such agreements together being the “Account Control Agreements”), provided that each Grantor shall promptly (but in any case within 30 days) provide any such Account Control Agreement following the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(b)                                 Each Grantor will promptly instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to such Grantor for any reason (an “Obligor”) to make such payment to a Deposit Account.

(c)                                  Except for any Deposit Account holding Cash Collateral (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility), no Grantor will add any bank that maintains a Deposit Account for such Grantor or open any new deposit account with any then-existing Pledged Account Bank unless:

(d)                                 Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Deposit Account or any Pledged Account Bank with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately:

(i)                                     transfer all funds held in such terminated Deposit Account to another Deposit Account, and

(ii)                                  notify all Obligors that were making payments to such Deposit Account to make all future payments to another Deposit Account, in each case so that the Collateral Trustee shall have a continuously perfected security interest in such funds and property.

In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, that the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables and Related Contracts to the Collateral Trustee and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables and Related Contracts, including those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC.

Section 10.                                    As to Intellectual Property.  (a)  Subject to Section 10(c) below, with respect to its intellectual property, each Grantor will execute or otherwise authenticate an intellectual property security agreement, in a form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Trustee in such intellectual property with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such intellectual property.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 10(c) below, should any Grantor obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 2(f) that is not on the date hereof a part of the intellectual property:

(i)                                     this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and

(ii)                                  any such item and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the intellectual property subject to this Agreement.

(c)                                  This Section 10 shall only be applicable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Each Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Trustee identifying such items, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an intellectual property security agreement supplement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee covering such items, which supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such items.

Section 11.                                    Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.  (a)  Except as set forth in clause (b):

(i)                                     Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral owned by such Grantor or any part thereof for any

10

purpose; provided that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral.

(ii)                                  Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral owned by such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Parity Lien Documents.

(iii)                               The Collateral Trustee will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b)                                 Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default that has not been waived:

(i)                                     All rights of each Grantor:

(A)                               to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Collateral Trustee, cease and

(B)                               to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) shall automatically cease,

and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Trustee, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii)                                  All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 11(b), subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(iii)                               The Collateral Trustee shall be authorized to send to each Securities Intermediary as defined in and under any Securities Account Control Agreement a Notice of Exclusive Control as defined in and under such Securities Account Control Agreement.

Section 12.                                    Additional Shares.  Each Grantor will pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any additional equity interests or other securities of each issuer of the Pledged Equity to the extent constituting Collateral.

Section 13.                                    Collateral Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement:

11

(a)                                 to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(b)                                 to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

(c)                                  to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

(d)                                 to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral.

Section 14.                                    Collateral Trustee May Perform.  If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor in accordance with Section 7.8 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 15.                                    The Collateral Trustee’s Duties.  (a)  The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee 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 it accords its own property.

(b)                                 Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Trustee may from time to time, when the Collateral Trustee deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more subagents for the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. If the Collateral Trustee so appoints any such subagent with respect to any Collateral:

(i)                                     the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such subagent, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor,

(ii)                                  such subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and

(iii)                               the term “Collateral Trustee,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee with respect to such Collateral, shall include such subagent;

provided that no such subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Trustee.

12

(c)                                  The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the instructions of the Required Parity Lien Debtholders in requiring or requesting the performance of certain actions or the delivery of certain information to be delivered at the request of, or to the extent required by, the Collateral Trustee hereunder.  The Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(d)                                 In addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have the rights, protections and immunities given to it as Collateral Trustee under the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement, and such are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

Section 16.                                    Remedies.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a)                                 The Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to 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 the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may:

(i)                                     require each Grantor to, and each Grantor will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(ii)                                  without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable;

(iii)                               occupy any premises owned or 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; and

(iv)                              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, including:

(A)                               any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral,

(B)                               withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts, and

(C)                               exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC.

13

To the extent that notice of sale shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee 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.

(b)                                 Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Trustee, be held by the Collateral Trustee as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 7.8 of the Collateral Trust Agreement) in whole or in part by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c)                                  The Collateral Trustee may, without notice to any Grantor, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts or in any other deposit account or securities account.

(d)                                 In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the intellectual property of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Trustee or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any intellectual property subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such intellectual property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(e)                                  The Grantors recognize that the Collateral Trustee may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Security Collateral and that the Collateral Trustee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Grantors acknowledge that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agree that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Any offer to sell such securities that has been:

(i)                                     publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under such Securities Act), or

(ii)                                  made privately in the manner described above to not less than 15 bona-fide offerees, shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9.610(c) of the UCC (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision), notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.

14

Section 17.                                    Subordination of Liens.  Each Grantor confirms that:  (a)  any and all Liens securing debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Grantor by any other Grantor (“Subordinated Liens”) shall be subordinate to any and all Liens under the Security Documents securing the Secured Obligations (“Senior Liens”) as if the Senior Liens were created, filed, recorded and otherwise perfected prior in time to the creation, filing, recording and other perfection of the Subordinated Liens, and

(b)                                 by reason of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a perfected, second-priority Lien on each Subordinated Lien and the right, to the exclusion of any Grantor, to enforce, exercise remedies, grant waivers, release and take any and all other actions with respect to such Subordinated Lien.

Section 18.                                    Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc.  (a)  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be entered into in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture and Section 7.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. No failure on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b)                                 Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”):

(i)                                     such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Parity Lien Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and

(ii)                                  the supplemental Schedules attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement the respective Schedule hereto, and the Collateral Trustee may attach such supplemental Schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

Section 19.                                    Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be delivered in the manner provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement, in the case of the Company or the Collateral Trustee, addressed to it at its address specified in Section 7.6 of the Collateral Trust Agreement and, in the case of each Grantor other than the Company, addressed to it at the address of the Company or the address set forth on the signature page to the Security Agreement Supplement pursuant to which it became a party hereto; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be effective when and as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

Section 20.                                    Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Indenture and the Collateral Trust Agreement.  This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall:

15

(a)                                 remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of all Secured Obligations,

(b)                                 be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and

(c)                                  inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder and under the Collateral Trust Agreement, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Collateral Trust Agreement or the other applicable Parity Lien Documents to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Collateral Trust Agreement or the applicable Parity Lien Documents.

Section 21.                                    Release.  (a)  The Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.06 of the Indenture and Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.  Upon such release, all rights in the Collateral so released shall revert to the Grantors.

(b)                                 Upon any release of Collateral as provided in this Section 21, the Collateral Trustee will, at the expense of the applicable Grantor, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as it shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.

Lien Representative.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Security Agreement dated as of June 10, 2015 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) made by the Grantors from time to time party thereto in favor of the Collateral Trustee for the Secured Parties. Terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Security Agreement.

SECTION 1.         Grant of Security.  The undersigned hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral of the undersigned, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned, wherever located and whether now or hereafter existing or arising, including the property and assets of the undersigned set forth on the attached supplemental Schedules to the Schedules to the Security Agreement.
