WHEREAS, the Grantors have executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, that certain Security Agreement, dated as of June 10, 2015 (including all annexes, exhibits or schedules thereto, as from time to time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Security Agreement”), among Tops Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Tops Markets II Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the Grantors, the other guarantors party thereto, and the Collateral Agent; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Grantors are required to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, this Trademark Security Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Grantors hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Security Agreement.
2. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST IN TRADEMARK COLLATERAL.

(a) all of the Grantors’ U.S. Trademarks, including those referred to on Schedule I hereto, including the goodwill exclusively symbolized thereby, provided that no security interest shall be granted in any U.S. intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or enforceability of such intent-to-use trademark applications under applicable law;
(b) all renewals of the foregoing; and
(c) all proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by the Grantors against third parties for past, present or future infringement or dilution of any U.S. Trademark.

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the security interest in the Trademark Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein.
5. COUNTERPARTS. This Trademark Security Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
6. CONSTRUCTION. The rules of interpretation adopted in Section 1.2 of the Security Agreement shall be applicable to this Trademark Security Agreement.
7. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Trademark Security Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement (as supplemented by the Intercreditor Joinder). In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Trademark Security Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
8. INDENTURE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with its execution and acting hereunder, the Collateral Agent is entitled to all rights, privileges, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities provided to it under the Indenture.
9. GOVERNING LAW. This Trademark Security Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.
