(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor (other than, as to their respective Borrower Obligations, the Borrowers) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Borrower Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party hereunder.

(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall

be outstanding (unless the same has been cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Reimbursement Obligations or back-to-back letters of credit from an issuer and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender have been provided in respect of such Letters of Credit) and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement any of the Borrowers may be free from any Borrower Obligations.

(e) No payment made by any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party from any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of any of the Borrower Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of any of the Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the Borrower Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until each of the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the same has been cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Reimbursement Obligations or back-to-back letters of credit from an issuer and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender have been provided in respect of such Letters of Credit) and the Commitments are terminated.

2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. This Section 2.2 shall not apply to Sears in its capacity as a Guarantor of the Borrower Obligations of SRAC, or to Kmart in its capacity as a Guarantor of the Borrower Obligations of Kmart Corp.

2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution, reimbursement or indemnification from any Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Guarantor possesses any such rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnification, all such rights shall in all respects be

subordinated and junior in right of payment, until all amounts owing to the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties by each of the Borrowers on account of its Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) are paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the same has been cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Reimbursement Obligations or back-to-back letters of credit from an issuer and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender have been provided in respect of such Letters of Credit) and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or indemnification rights at any time when any of the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be transferred to the Agent’s Account (or as the Co-Collateral Agents may otherwise direct) in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Agent, if required), to be applied against the Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Agent may determine.

2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Borrower Obligations made by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party may be rescinded by the Co-Collateral Agents or such other Credit Party and any of the Borrower Obligations continued, and any of the Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any other Person 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 Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Co-Collateral Agents (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) or any other Credit Party, if applicable, may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party for the payment of any of the Borrower Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Co-Collateral Agents nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Loan Party or other Person, to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Borrower Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

(a) Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; each of the Borrower Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings

between any of the Borrowers and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, any Cash Management Service, any Bank Product or any other document made, delivered or given in connection with any of the foregoing, any of the Borrower Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any of the Borrowers for the Borrower Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for any of the Borrower Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any of the Borrowers, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

(b) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter of Credit, any Cash Management Service, any Bank Product or any other document made, delivered or given in connection with any of the foregoing or any other agreement, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than upon a written release of such Guarantor from the Co-Collateral Agents or upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Borrower Obligations after the Commitments have been terminated).

(c) The Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties may, at their election upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, foreclose on any Collateral held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Borrower Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Guarantor, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any other Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that all the Borrower Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated. Each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor, as the case may be, or any Collateral.

2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 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 Borrower Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars, to the Agent’s Account, or such other account as the Co-Collateral Agents may designate in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, transfer and/or grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned, licensed to or developed by a Grantor so long as such conveyances and/or licenses do not materially impair the license of the Control Co-Collateral Agent in and to such Intellectual Property. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property.

4.2 Perfected First Priority Liens.

(a) The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement (a) upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 2 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Co-Collateral Agents in completed and, if applicable, duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral in favor of the Control Co-Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the

Credit Parties, as collateral security for such Grantor’s Obligations, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any Collateral from such Grantor and (b) are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof other than Permitted Liens having priority over the Liens of the Control Co-Collateral Agent pursuant to applicable law.

(b) Each Co-Collateral Agent hereby appoints the other Co-Collateral Agents, and each hereby agrees to serve, as agent and bailee for the others for the limited purpose of perfecting their respective security interests, granted for the benefit of the Credit Parties, on the Collateral which may at any time be in its possession during the term of this Agreement, including, without limitation any rights with respect to Deposit Accounts, Documents or other Collateral which is perfected by “control” under the New York UCC or any other applicable jurisdiction.

4.3 Jurisdiction of Organization. On the date hereof, such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization and identification number from the jurisdiction of organization (if any) are specified on Schedule 3. Such Grantor has furnished to the Co-Collateral Agents a charter, certificate of incorporation or other formation document and good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof.

4.4 Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables.

(a) No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Credit Card Accounts Receivable or Pharmacy Receivables is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper having a face value in excess of $1,000,000 which has not been delivered to the Co-Collateral Agents.

(b) None of the obligors on any Credit Card Accounts Receivable is a Governmental Authority.

(c) Each Eligible Credit Card Accounts Receivable is a bona fide existing payment obligation of a credit card payment processor or an issuer of credit cards to a Grantor resulting from charges by a customer of a Grantor on credit cards issued by such issuer in connection with the sale of goods by such Grantor, or services performed by such Grantor, in each case in the ordinary course of its business.

(d) Each Eligible Pharmacy Receivable represents a bona fide existing interest in or claim relating to a policy of insurance which is a right of a Grantor to payment of a monetary obligation for healthcare goods sold by such Grantor, or services provided by such Grantor, in each case in the ordinary course of its business.

(e) Except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, there are no facts, events or occurrences which would impair the validity of any Credit Card Accounts Receivable or any Pharmacy Receivables, or tend to reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the claim or invoice or statements delivered to the Agent with respect thereto (other than arising in the ordinary course of business).

4.5 Related Intellectual Property. Such Grantor owns or has a license to use all Intellectual Property which is reasonably necessary to sell the Collateral in the ordinary course. Such Grantor shall take all reasonable and necessary steps to maintain and preserve the benefit of each Trademark License, Copyright License and Patent License which relates to Intellectual Property to the extent that the use of such Intellectual Property would be reasonably necessary in connection with the Co-Collateral Agents’ enforcement of any of its remedies under the Loan Documents. Except for consents which have been obtained, such Grantor does not own any Eligible Inventory which is subject to any Copyright License, Trademark License or Patent License or other agreement with any third party which would require any consent of any third party upon sale or disposition of that Eligible Inventory where such sale or disposition is made pursuant to a going-out-of-business sale, orderly liquidation or similar sale, in each case, to the extent such going-out-of-business sale, orderly liquidation or similar sale is conducted at the Stores, and such Grantor will promptly deliver notice to the Co-Collateral Agents upon entering into any Copyright License, Trademark License or Patent License or amendment thereto which would require any such consent.

4.7 Dealer Store Inventory. Except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (a) all of the Inventory at each Dealer Store is owned by a Grantor free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, and (b) all such Inventory is subject to a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the applicable Grantor, which is prior to any other Lien on such Inventory.

4.8 Pharmaceutical Laws.

(b) The Grantors are in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such permits, licenses, orders and authorizations, and are also in compliance with all Pharmaceutical Laws, including all other limitations, restrictions, conditions, standards, prohibitions, requirements, obligations, schedules and timetables contained in the Pharmaceutical Laws, except where the failure to comply with such terms, conditions or laws would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) None of the Grantors have any liabilities, claims against them, and presently outstanding notices imposed or based upon any provision of any Pharmaceutical Law, except for such liabilities, claims, citations or notices which individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.9 HIPAA Compliance.

(a) To the extent that and for so long as a Grantor is a “covered entity” within the meaning of HIPAA, and except as would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor (i) has undertaken or will promptly undertake all applicable surveys,

(b) For purposes hereof, “HIPAA Compliant” shall mean that a Grantor to the extent legally required (i) is or will use commercially reasonable efforts to be in compliance in all material respects with each of the applicable requirements of the so-called “Administrative Simplification” provisions of HIPAA on and as of each date that any part thereof, or any final rule or regulation thereunder, becomes effective in accordance with its or their terms, as the case may be (each such date, a “HIPAA Compliance Date”) and (ii) is not and could not reasonably be expected to become, as of any date following any such HIPAA Compliance Date, the subject of any civil or criminal penalty, process, claim, action or proceeding, or any administrative or other regulatory review, survey, process or proceeding (other than routine surveys or reviews conducted by any government health plan or other accreditation entity) that could result in any of the foregoing or that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Compliance with Health Care Laws.

(a) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor is in compliance with all Health Care Laws, including all Medicare and Medicaid program rules and regulations applicable to it.

(b) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor has maintained all records required to be maintained by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Food and Drug Administration, Drug Enforcement Agency and State Boards of Pharmacy and the Federal and State Medicare and Medicaid programs as required by the Health Care Laws or other applicable law or regulation and each Grantor and the owners of the facilities and other businesses managed by any Grantor have all permits, licenses, franchises, certificates and other approvals or authorizations of Governmental Authority as are required under Health Care Laws and such insurance laws and regulations, as are applicable thereto.

4.11 Prescription Lists. Except as provided under applicable law, including any applicable Health Care Laws, Pharmaceutical Laws and privacy laws, and except as would not be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i) there are no limitations or restrictions on the rights of any Grantor to sell, transfer or otherwise assign any Prescription List to any third party; and (ii) each Prescription List is in good and marketable condition.

SECTION 5. COVENANTS

Each Grantor covenants and agrees with the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties that, until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim shall have then been asserted) shall have been paid in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (unless the same has been cash collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit and all other Reimbursement Obligations or back-to-back letters of credit from an issuer and on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender have been provided in respect of such Letters of Credit) and the Commitments shall have terminated:

(b) At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Co-Collateral Agents, and at the sole expense of such Grantor, such Grantor will promptly and duly execute and deliver, and have recorded, such further instruments and documents and take such further actions as the Co-Collateral Agents may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, (i) filing any financing or continuation statements under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interests created hereby and (ii) to the extent applicable, taking any actions necessary to enable the Co-Collateral Agents to obtain “control” (within the meaning of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) with respect thereto.

SECTION 6. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables. (a) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any payments of Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, shall be transferred and maintained in accordance with Section 6.01(m) of the Credit Agreement.

(b) At the Co-Collateral Agents’ request, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Co-Collateral Agents all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Credit Card Accounts Receivable and the Pharmacy Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) Each Co-Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Credit Card Accounts Receivable and the Pharmacy Receivables to verify with them to such Co-Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Co-Collateral Agents at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Credit Card Accounts Receivable and the Pharmacy Receivables that the Credit Card Accounts Receivable and the Pharmacy Receivables have been assigned to the Co-Collateral Agents for the ratable benefit of the Credit Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Control Co-Collateral Agent.

6.5 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Co-Collateral Agents, on behalf of the Credit Parties, may (and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall) exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Co-Collateral Agents, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may (and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall) in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Co-Collateral Agent or any Credit Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor. The Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released, and may credit against the purchase price the amount of any claim then due and payable from any Grantor on account of the Obligations owed to the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party, and the

Co-Collateral Agents or such other Credit Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Co-Collateral Agents’ request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Co-Collateral Agents at the Grantor’s sole risk and expense, at places which the Co-Collateral Agents shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Co-Collateral Agents shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.5, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in the order set forth in Section 6.4, and only after such application and after the payment by the Co-Collateral Agents of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Co-Collateral Agents account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. No Co-Collateral Agent shall be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. The Co-Collateral Agents 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. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Co-Collateral Agents may fix and state in the notice of such sale. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Co-Collateral Agents on credit, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment is finally received thereon by the Co-Collateral Agents.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, with respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, the Co-Collateral Agents may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Co-Collateral Agents’ own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Co-Collateral Agents and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Co-Collateral Agents or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Co-Collateral Agents or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.

(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, with respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Co-Collateral Agents may: (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Co-Collateral Agents may reasonably determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Accounts and

enforcing any other rights in respect thereof; (iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Co-Collateral Agents may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the Co-Collateral Agents’ rights set forth in Section 7.1, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Accounts or securing or relating to such Accounts, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Accounts or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Co-Collateral Agents were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Co-Collateral Agents may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor. The Co-Collateral Agents shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Co-Collateral Agents taking possession thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors. In no event shall the Co-Collateral Agents be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Co-Collateral Agents of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.5, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) reasonably incurred in connection with the Co-Collateral Agents’ exercise of the Co-Collateral Agents’ rights and remedies hereunder.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.5, a written and fully executed agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Co-Collateral Agents 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 Co-Collateral Agents shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of redemption, stay, valuation 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.

6.6 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 its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party to collect such deficiency.

6.7 Grant of License in Intellectual Property, Software and other Assets.

(c) For the purpose of enabling the Co-Collateral Agents to exercise the rights and remedies under Section 6 at such time as the Co-Collateral Agents shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby (i) assigns and transfers to the Co-Collateral Agents and grants each Co-Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or any other compensation to such Grantor or any

Affiliate of such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense, any Related Intellectual Property now owned or licensed or hereafter owned, licensed or otherwise acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) irrevocably agrees that the Co-Collateral Agents may sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including, without limitation, Persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Co-Collateral Agents’ rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Co-Collateral Agents may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in any agreement between the Control Co-Collateral Agent and the owner or licensor of such Intellectual Property, this Agreement shall not constitute a license to use, license or sublicense, any Intellectual Property to the extent such license or sublicense is prohibited by or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such Intellectual Property, except to the extent that (x) the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, or (y) the contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document pursuant to which such Grantor was granted its rights to any such Intellectual Property was issued by a Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Grantor (and is not subject to an applicable constraint in an over-license or other agreement with a third party).

(d) For the purpose of enabling the Co-Collateral Agents to exercise the rights and remedies under Section 6 at such time as the Co-Collateral Agents shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Co-Collateral Agents and grants to the Co-Collateral Agents, for the benefit of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or any other compensation to such Grantor or any other Person) to use, license or sublicense, any Software now owned or licensed or hereafter owned, licensed or otherwise acquired by such Grantor; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in any agreement between the Control Co-Collateral Agent and the owner or licensor of such Software, this Agreement shall not constitute a license to use, license or sublicense, any Software to the extent such license or sublicense is prohibited by or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such Software, except to the extent that (i) the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, or (ii) the contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document pursuant to which such Grantor was granted its rights to any such Software was issued by a Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Grantor (and is not subject to an applicable constraint in an over-license or other agreement with a third party).

(e) Without duplication of the rights granted to the Co-Collateral Agents in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 6.7, and for the purpose of enabling the Co-Collateral Agents to exercise

the rights and remedies under Section 6 at such time as the Co-Collateral Agents shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Co-Collateral Agents and grants to the Co-Collateral Agents, for the benefit of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty, rent or any other compensation to such Grantor or any other Person), to use, license or sublicense, any real property or personal property of such Grantor which does not constitute Collateral, including but not limited to, all Equipment, Fixtures, General Intangibles and Goods, whether now or hereafter owned, leased or occupied by such Grantor; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in any agreement between the Control Co-Collateral Agent and the owner or licensor of such real or personal property, this Agreement shall not constitute a license to use, license or sublicense, any real or personal property to the extent such license or sublicense is prohibited by or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any lease, contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property or any rights therein, except to the extent that (i) the term in such lease, contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition, breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under applicable law, or (ii) the contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document pursuant to which such Grantor was granted its rights to any such real property or personal property was issued by a Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Grantor (and is not subject to an applicable constraint in an over-license or other agreement with a third party).

SECTION 7. THE CO-COLLATERAL AGENTS

7.1 Co-Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each Co-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 in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives each Co-Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables 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 Co-Collateral Agents for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Credit Card Accounts Receivable and Pharmacy Receivables or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repairs or any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement and pay all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof;

(iii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.5, any indorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and

(iv) (1) 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 Agent, or as the Co-Collateral Agents shall direct; (2) 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; (3) sign and indorse 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; (4) 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; (5) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (6) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Co-Collateral Agents may deem appropriate; and (7) generally, 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 Co-Collateral Agents were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Co-Collateral Agents’ option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Co-Collateral Agents deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Co-Collateral Agents’ and the other Credit 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 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Co-Collateral Agents agree that they will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(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 Co-Collateral Agents, at their option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) Without limitation to any Co-Collateral Agent’s or any other Credit Party’s rights to payment, reimbursement or indemnification under any other Loan Document, the expenses of the Co-Collateral Agents incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in Sections 7.1 and 8.4, 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 Advances made by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by any such Co-Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Co-Collateral Agents on demand.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys 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.

7.2 Duty of Co-Collateral Agents. Each Co-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 New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as such Co-Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Co-Collateral Agents nor any other Credit 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 Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Co-Collateral Agents’ and the other Credit Parties interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party to exercise any such powers. The Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit 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 gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Each Grantor authorizes the Co-Collateral Agents to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Co-Collateral Agents determine appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Co-Collateral Agents under this Agreement. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Co-Collateral Agents of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

7.4 Authority of the Co-Collateral Agents and the Control Co-Collateral Agent.

(a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Co-Collateral Agents under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Co-Collateral Agents or the exercise or non-exercise by the Co-Collateral Agents of any request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Co-Collateral Agents and the Grantors, the Co-Collateral Agents shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Credit 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.

(b) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and General Electric Capital Corporation hereby appoint Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as a Co-Collateral Agent, as agent to the Co-Collateral Agents for purposes of filing financing statements and entering into Blocked Account Agreements and other control agreements, in connection with the perfection of a security interest in the Collateral which was granted for the benefit of the Credit Parties (the “Control Co-Collateral Agent”). Each Grantor acknowledges that any and all actions to be taken by the Co-Collateral Agents hereunder shall be taken individually by the Control Co-Collateral Agent, and

all such actions shall have the full force and effect as though taken jointly by all the Co-Collateral Agents.

SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, neither Section 6.4 hereof nor this Section 8.1 may be amended without the consent of all Lenders (except, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the FILO Facility as set forth in the following sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the establishment of the FILO Facility, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the FILO Facility and to effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of Section 2.20 of the Credit Agreement, with the consent of the FILO Lenders, the Co-Collateral Agents, and the Borrowers (in each case not to be unreasonably withheld), but without need for further consents pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Co-Collateral Agents or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to such Grantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Co-Collateral Agents nor any other Credit Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit 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 Co-Collateral Agents or any other Credit Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Co-Collateral Agents or such other Credit Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Without limitation to any Co-Collateral Agent’s or any other Credit Party’s rights to payment, reimbursement or indemnification under any other Loan Document:

(a) each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay or reimburse each Co-Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties for all their costs and expenses incurred in collecting against any Grantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the fees

and disbursements of the Credit Parties’ counsel in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;

(e) each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes 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 and the other Loan Documents;

(f) each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit 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 and the other Loan Documents to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement; and

(g) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Grantor shall assert, and each Grantor hereby waives, any claim against any Co-Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. No Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by any such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the termination of the Commitments, the release of the Collateral from the Liens created hereby and the termination of this Agreement.

8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Co-Collateral Agents.

8.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Co-Collateral Agent and each of the other Credit Parties at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect,

absolute or contingent, at any time held or owing by any such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party against such Grantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Cash Management Services, any Bank Product or otherwise, as such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party may elect, whether or not any Co-Collateral Agent or any other Credit Party has made any demand for payment. The applicable Co-Collateral Agent or Credit Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Co-Collateral Agent or other Credit Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties under this Section 8.6 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties may have.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or electronic mail of “PDF” file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.

8.9 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.

8.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Co-Collateral Agents and the other Credit Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Co-Collateral Agents or the other Credit Parties relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

8.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW BUT INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 and 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
