(1) Each Grantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Securities to the extent such Pledged Securities, in the case of promissory notes or other instruments, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (2) of this Section 3.02.

(3) except for the security interests granted hereunder, each Grantor:

(c) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, other than pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Indenture and other than Permitted Liens; and
(d) subject to the rights of such Grantor under the Notes Documents to dispose of Pledged Collateral, will use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title or interest hereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), however arising, of all Persons;
(4) other than as set forth in the Indenture or the schedules thereto, and except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Notes Documents or securities laws generally or otherwise permitted to exist pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Pledged Stock (other than Pledged Stock that is partnership interests) is and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and, except for limitations existing on the Issue Date in the articles or certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Subsidiary that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary, none of the Pledged Stock is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that would prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect
the pledge of such Pledged Stock hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of rights and remedies hereunder;
(5) each Grantor has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;

(7) as of the Issue Date, this Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described herein and proceeds thereof;
(8) as of the Issue Date, none of the Equity Interests in limited liability companies or partnerships that are pledged by the Grantors hereunder constitute a security under Section 8-103 of the UCC or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction; and
(9) the Grantors shall not amend, or permit to be amended, the limited liability company agreement (or operating agreement or similar agreement) or partnership agreement of any subsidiary of any Grantor whose Equity Interests are, or are required to be, Collateral hereunder in a manner to cause such Equity Interests to constitute a security under Section 8-103 of the New York UCC or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction unless such Grantor shall have first delivered reasonable prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and shall have taken all actions contemplated hereby to maintain the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein as a valid, perfected security interest with the Required Collateral Lien Priority, and subject to the relative priorities set forth in the Intercreditor Agreements.
SECTION 3.04. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, has the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent). Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Grantor. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent will have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 3.05. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc..
(1) Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Collateral Agent has given at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder:
(a) each Grantor will be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Notes Documents; provided that, except as permitted under the Indenture, such rights and powers will not be exercised in any manner that could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of any Pledged Collateral, the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Notes Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same;
(b) the Collateral Agent will, at the cost and expense of the requesting Grantor, promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (a) above; and
(c) each Grantor will be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the other Notes Documents and applicable laws; provided that (i) any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions, payments or other consideration in respect thereof, including any rights to receive the same to the extent not so distributed or paid, that would constitute Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities, received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise and (ii) any noncash dividends and other distributions paid or payable in respect of any Pledged Securities that would constitute Pledged Securities in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus, will be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, will not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property, but will be held separate and apart therefrom, will be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and will be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed to the Collateral Agent).
(2) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (1)(c) of this Section 3.05 will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral Agent,
which will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions; provided, however, that even after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and such one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice, any Grantor may continue to receive dividends and distributions solely to the extent permitted under subclause (b)(vi)(A), subclause (b)(vi)(C) and subclause (b)(vi)(E) of Section 3.4 of the Indenture.
(3) All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 3.05 will not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property, but will be held separate and apart therefrom, will be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and will be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed to the Collateral Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (3), subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, will be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and will be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02 hereof. After all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent will promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (1)(c) of this Section 3.05 and that remain in such account.
(4) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after the Collateral Agent shall have given at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to the Issuer of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (1)(a) of this Section 3.05, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (1)(b) of this Section 3.05, will cease, and all such rights will thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which will have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements); provided that the Collateral Agent will have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all such Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor will have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (1)(a) above.

Such Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral that would be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) Such Grantor has made or performed in the ordinary course of Grantor’s business, acts, including filings, recordings and payment of all required fees and taxes, required to maintain and protect its interest in each and every item of Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor in full force and effect in the United States, and such Grantor has used proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each Patent, Trademark and Copyright owned by such Grantor in the Intellectual Property Collateral, in each case, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(a) corporate or organization name;
(b) organizational structure;
(c) location (determined as provided in Uniform Commercial Code Section 9-307); or
(d) organizational identification number (or equivalent) or, solely if required for perfecting a security interest in the applicable jurisdiction, Federal Taxpayer Identification Number.
No Grantor will effect or permit any such change unless all filings have been made, or will be made within any statutory period, under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, in all Collateral held by such Grantor.
(2) Subject to the rights of such Grantor under the Notes Documents to dispose of Collateral and except as would otherwise be permitted by the Indenture, each Grantor will, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Article 9 Collateral and the Required Collateral Lien Priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.
(3) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as may from time to time be reasonably necessary to preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.
(4) If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $5.0 million is or becomes evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, will be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed to the Collateral Agent.
(5) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent will have the right to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral, including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party.
(6) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, none of the Grantors will, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, grant any extension of the time of payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the same for less than the full amount
thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, in each case, other than extensions, credits, discounts, compromises or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with prudent business practices or as otherwise permitted under the Indenture.
(7) At its option after the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.03(7) will excuse any Grantor from the performance of, or impose any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Notes Documents.
(8) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) will remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral.
(9) Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent for such purpose) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.
(10) In the event that any Grantor at any time or times fails to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or under the Indenture or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.03(10), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
(11) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no actions will be required outside of the United States in order to create or perfect any security interest in any assets located outside
of the United States and no foreign law security or pledge agreements, foreign law mortgages or deeds or foreign intellectual property filings or searches will be required, in each case, other than with respect to (1) debt or Equity Interests acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition and (2) Foreign Subsidiaries that are or will become Subsidiary Guarantors; provided, however, that (i) in the event an Officer of a Grantor (reasonably and in good faith) and the Extended Term Loan Agent mutually determine that the burden or cost of obtaining foreign-law governed Security Documents or creating or taking perfections steps in any such foreign jurisdictions outweighs the benefit afforded thereby to the Secured Parties or obtaining foreign-law governed Security Documents or creating or taking such perfection steps in any such foreign jurisdictions is impracticable, impossible or ineffective or would give rise to or result in any violation of applicable law, then no such foreign-law governed Security Documents nor creation or the taking of perfection steps in any such foreign jurisdictions shall be required to be provided with respect to such Grantor and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Notes Document, in the event that any foreign-law governed Security Documents or the creation or taking of perfection steps in any such foreign jurisdictions are being obtained in accordance with this Section 4.03(11), the Grantors shall prepare Security Documents and/or make filings or take perfection actions or steps in accordance with the “Agreed Security Principles” and on a reasonable and customary timeline agreed between an Officer of a Grantor (reasonably and in good faith) and the Extended Term Loan Agent, and taking into account the Required Collateral Lien Priority; provided that the deadlines to enter into such Security Documents and/or make such filings or take such perfection actions or steps shall be 10 calendar days after the corresponding deadlines for Extended Term Loans (in each case subject to extension by the Collateral Agent, acting at the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes).
SECTION 4.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:
(1) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires any Instruments (other than checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $5.0 million, such Grantor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or a designated bailee, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements), accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank.
(2) Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article III, if any Grantor at any time holds or acquires any Certificated Security constituting Pledged Collateral or Article 9 Collateral, such Grantor will forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or a designated bailee, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements), accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. If any security of a domestic issuer now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor is uncertificated and is issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof,
such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of such uncertificated securities and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall pursuant to an agreement, either (a) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent (or a designated bailee, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements)as to such security, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee or (b) cause the issuer to register the Collateral Agent (or a designated bailee, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements) as the registered owner of such security.
(3) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim with an asserted or nominal value in excess of $5.0 million, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Collateral Agent in writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all under the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 4.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. Except as permitted by the Indenture:
(1) Each Grantor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to contractually prohibit its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any material Patent owned by such Grantor that is necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it will take commercially reasonable steps with respect to any material products covered by any such Patent as necessary to establish and preserve its rights under applicable patent laws.
(2) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to contractually require its licensees and its sublicensees to, for each material Trademark owned by such Grantor and necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business:
(a) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use;
(b) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark;
(c) display such Trademark with notice of federal or foreign registration or claim of trademark or service xxxx as required under applicable law; and
(d) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party rights.
(3) Each Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees and its sublicensees to, for each work covered by a material Copyright owned by such Grantor and necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business and that it publishes, displays and distributes, use a copyright notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.
(4) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright owned by such Grantor and necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.
(5) Each Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, will execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers (and substantially equivalent agreements, documents and papers as are executed and delivered with respect to any Credit Agreement) reasonably necessary to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest in each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright listed in a list of new Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights which shall be furnished to the Collateral Agent at the same time as the annual financial statements provided pursuant to Section 3.2(a) of the Indenture.
(6) Each Grantor will exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application owned by such Grantor relating to any material Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business and to maintain (a) each such Patent and (b) the registrations of each such Trademark and each such Copyright, including, when applicable and necessary in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Grantor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.
(7) In the event that any Grantor knows or has reason to know that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a material Patent, Trademark or Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of its business has been materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor will promptly notify the Collateral Agent and will, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly take actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.
SECTION 4.06. Intercreditor Relations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (1) the Grantors and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder are subject to the provisions of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement and the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (2) prior to the Discharge of ABL Claims, any obligation hereunder to physically deliver any ABL Priority Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery to the ABL Collateral Agent, acting as gratuitous bailee for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement and (3) any obligation hereunder to physically deliver any Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by the delivery to the Senior Priority Collateral Agent (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement), acting as gratuitous bailee for the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to immediately enforce any of its rights
and remedies hereunder (as a result of the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise) shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights and remedies. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement regarding the relative priorities of the ABL Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, the New Second Lien Notes Agent and the New Third Lien Notes Agent in the Collateral, the terms of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement regarding the relative priorities of the Collateral Agent, the Initial Second Lien Representative and the Initial Third Lien Representative in the Collateral, the terms of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Terms used but nor defined in this Section 4.06 shall be as defined in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent (or a designated bailee, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements) on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (1) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a non-exclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Grantor hereby agrees to use) and (2) to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Grantor to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of, removing or selling the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing rights and remedies, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law (including the Uniform Commercial Code), to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.01, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay,
valuation and appraisal that 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.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. The Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold at any such sale may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors, upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor and the Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory to be sold with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor), all as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 5.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property in accordance with Article V hereof without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially
reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
Without limiting any other rights of the Collateral Agent granted pursuant to this Agreement, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, and the representatives and independent contractors of the Collateral Agent, a royalty free, non-exclusive, irrevocable license (such license to be effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default), to use, apply, and affix any Trademark, trade name, logo, or the like in which any Grantor now or hereafter has rights, solely in connection with the Collateral Agent’s enforcement of rights or remedies hereunder, including in connection with any sale or other disposition of Inventory. As to each Grantor, the license granted hereby shall remain in full force and effect until such Grantor hereunder is released hereunder in accordance with Section 7.15 of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.02. Application of Proceeds.
(1) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent will promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent or the Trustee pursuant to any of the Notes Documents in its capacity as such in respect of (i) the preservation of Collateral or its security interest in the Collateral or (ii) with respect to enforcing the rights of the Secured Parties under the Notes Documents;
(b) second, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clause (a), to all other amounts owing to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any other Agent pursuant to any of the Notes Documents in its capacity as such;
(c) third, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (b), to an amount equal to the Secured Obligations with each Secured Party receiving an amount equal to its outstanding Secured Obligations or, if the proceeds are insufficient to pay in full all such Secured Obligations, its pro rata share of the amount remaining to be distributed; and
(d) fourth, to the extent proceeds remain after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (a) through (c), inclusive, and following the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, to the relevant Grantor, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct or as otherwise required by the Intercreditor Agreement.
(2) If any payment to any Secured Party pursuant to this Section 5.02 of its pro rata share of any distribution would result in overpayment to such Secured Party, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of the unpaid Secured Obligations of the other Secured Parties, with each Secured Party whose Secured Obligations have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Secured Obligations of such Secured Party and the denominator of which is the unpaid Secured Obligations of all Secured Parties entitled to such distribution.
(3) All payments required to be made hereunder shall be made to the Trustee for the account of such Secured Parties or as the Trustee may otherwise direct in accordance with the Notes Documents.
(4) Subject to the other limitations (if any) set forth herein and in the other Notes Documents, it is understood that the Note Parties will remain liable (as and to the extent set forth in herein except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations of the Note Parties.
(5) It is understood and agreed by each Note Party that the Collateral Agent will have no liability for any determinations made by it in this Section 5.02 except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Each Note Party also agrees that the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to), at any time and in its sole discretion, and with no liability resulting therefrom, petition a court of competent jurisdiction regarding any application of Collateral in accordance with the requirements hereof and of each Intercreditor Agreement, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to wait for, and may conclusively rely on, any such determination.
(6) The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Article V shall apply to distributions and/or realizations on account of all assets securing the Secured Obligations, including assets not defined as Collateral hereunder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Real Property of the Grantors mortgaged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of some or all of the Secured Parties).
SECTION 5.03. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may (1) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (2) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might
result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent will incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.03 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

[RESERVED]
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 7.01. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 13.1 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to any Grantor will be given to it in care of the Issuer, with such notice to be given as provided in Section 13.1 of the Indenture.
SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder will be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Notes Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing;
(2) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Notes Document or any other agreement or instrument;
(3) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations; or
(4) subject only to termination or release of a Grantor’s obligations hereunder in accordance with the terms of Section 7.15 hereof any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement (other than a defense of payment or performance).
SECTION 7.03. Limitation By Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to
all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.
SECTION 7.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement will become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such party is delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof is executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter will be binding upon such party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and will inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, the Indenture. This Agreement will be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 7.05. Successors and Assigns; Replacement of Collateral Agent; Successor Collateral Agent by Merger.
(1) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference will be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective permitted 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 Collateral Agent.
(2) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Collateral Agent upon written notice to the Issuers, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, and may appoint a successor Collateral Agent. The Issuers will remove the Collateral Agent if:
(a) [reserved];
(b) the Collateral Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;
(c) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Collateral Agent or its property; or
(d) the Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.
(3) If the Collateral Agent resigns or is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes and such Holders do not within 30 days thereafter appoint a successor Collateral Agent, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Collateral Agent for any reason (the Collateral Agent in such event being
referred to herein as the retiring Collateral Agent), the Issuers will promptly appoint a successor Collateral Agent.
(4) A successor Collateral Agent will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Collateral Agent and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Collateral Agent will become effective, and the successor Collateral Agent will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Notes Documents. The Trustee will deliver a notice of the successor Collateral Agent’s succession to the Holders. The retiring Collateral Agent will promptly transfer all property held by it as Collateral Agent to the successor Collateral Agent, subject to the liens provided for in Section 7.6 of the Indenture. All costs reasonably incurred in connection with any resignation or removal hereunder will be borne by the Issuers.
(5) If a successor Collateral Agent does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Collateral Agent or the Holders of at least 10.0% in principal amount of the Notes may petition, at the Issuers’ expense, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent.
(6) [reserved].
(7) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.05, the Issuers’ obligations under this Agreement will continue for the benefit of the retiring Collateral Agent.
(8) If the Collateral Agent, consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act will be the successor Collateral Agent.
SECTION 7.06. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.
The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent will be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 7.6 of the Indenture and the provisions of Section 7.6 of the Indenture shall be incorporated by reference herein and apply to each Grantor mutatis mutandis.
SECTION 7.07. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. The Collateral Agent will have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor, to:
(1) receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof;
(2) demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral;
(3) ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral;
(4) sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral;
(5) send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor;
(6) commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral;
(7) settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral;
(8) notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and
(9) use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes;
provided that nothing herein contained will be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties will be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor 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.
SECTION 7.08. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).
SECTION 7.09. Waivers; Amendment.
(1) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Notes Document will operate as a
waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Holders hereunder and under the other Notes Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom will in any event be effective unless the same is permitted by paragraph (2) of this Section 7.09, and then such waiver or consent will be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
(2) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article IX of the Indenture.
SECTION 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. The provisions of Section 13.8 of the Indenture shall be incorporated by reference herein and apply to each party hereto.
SECTION 7.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 7.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original but all of which when taken together will constitute but one contract, and will become effective as provided in Section 7.04 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.
SECTION 7.13. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 7.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. The provisions of Section 13.7 of the Indenture shall be incorporated by reference herein and apply to each party hereto.
SECTION 7.15. Termination or Release.
(1) This Agreement, the pledges made herein, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate upon the occurrence of the Termination Date.
(2) A Grantor that is a Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which such Grantor ceases to be a Guarantor; provided that such portion of the Holders as are required by the terms of the Indenture to consent to such transaction shall have consented thereto; provided, further, to the extent the ABL Security Documents, Second
Lien Notes Collateral Documents (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) or the Third Lien Notes Collateral Documents (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) are in effect on such date, such Grantor (and the security interests in the Collateral in respect thereof) is released under such ABL Security Documents, Second Lien Notes Collateral Documents and Third Lien Notes Collateral Documents, as applicable, concurrently with the release referred to in this clause (2).
(3) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Indenture to any person that is not a Grantor, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Article IX of the Indenture or pursuant to Section 5.1 of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement or Sections 5.1 or 5.2 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released; provided to the extent the ABL Security Documents, Second Lien Notes Collateral Documents or the Third Lien Notes Collateral Documents are in effect on such date, such Grantor (and the security interests in the Collateral in respect thereof) is released under such ABL Security Documents, Second Lien Notes Collateral Documents and Third Lien Notes Collateral Documents, as applicable, concurrently with the release referred to in this clause (3).
(4) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (1) through (3) of this Section 7.15, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents that such Grantor reasonably requests to evidence such termination or release (including UCC termination statements) and will duly assign and transfer to such Grantor such of the Pledged Collateral that may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent will not be required to take any action under this Section 7.15(6) unless such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent together with such request, which may be incorporated into such request: (a) a reasonably detailed description of the Collateral, which in any event is sufficient to effect the appropriate termination or release without affecting any other Collateral and (b) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer certifying that the transaction giving rise to such termination or release is permitted by the Indenture and was or is consummated in compliance with the Notes Documents. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 7.16. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and any Subsidiary that is required to become a party hereto by Section 3.11 of the Indenture of a supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary will become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such supplement will not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement.
SECTION 7.17. Rights of the Collateral Agent; No Duties. The permissive rights of the Collateral Agent enumerated herein (i) are granted for its benefit and (ii) shall not be constituted as duties or obligations. The duties of the Collateral Agent are solely as set forth in the Indenture and no implied duties or obligations will be read into this Agreement against the Collateral Agent.
In the acceptance, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the benefit of all exculpatory provisions, indemnities, protections, benefits, rights and immunities granted to it in the Indenture, as though fully set forth herein.
SECTION 7.18. Recitals. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by each of the Grantors.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.

SUPPLEMENT NO. dated as of (this “Supplement”), to the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement dated as of June 7, 2019 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement”), among each of the Grantors party thereto, and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as Trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (as defined therein) (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

(2) Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement.
(3) The Grantors have entered into the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Holders to purchase the Notes under the Indenture. Section 7.16 of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement provides that additional entities may become Grantors under the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture to become a Grantor under the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:
SECTION 1.
(a) In accordance with Section 7.16 of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Grantor under the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Grantor, and the New Subsidiary hereby (1) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a Grantor thereunder and (2) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor in Section 3.03 and Section 4.02 thereof are true and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien on all the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in and to the extent required by the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary. Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary. The Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
(b) In accordance with Section 9.3 of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a party to the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement as a Grantor thereunder for all purposes thereof on the terms set forth therein, and agrees, for the enforceable benefit of all existing and future ABL Lenders (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement), all existing and future Term Loan Lenders (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement) and all existing and future Existing Noteholders (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement) that it is bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement as fully as if the undersigned had executed and delivered the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement as of the date thereof. This Supplement shall constitute an Intercreditor Agreement Joinder under (and as defined in) the ABL/Term Loan/Notes Intercreditor Agreement.
(c) In accordance with Section 8.20 of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a party to the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as a Grantor thereunder for all purposes thereof on the terms set forth therein, and agrees, for the enforceable benefit of all existing and future all existing and future First Lien Secured Parties (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and all existing and future Junior Lien Secured Parties (as defined in the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement) that it is bound by the terms, conditions and provisions of the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as fully as if the undersigned had executed and delivered the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement as of the date thereof. This Supplement shall constitute an intercreditor agreement joinder under the Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement.
SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to (1) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally; (2) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (3) implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing.
SECTION 3. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will constitute an original but all of which when taken together constitutes but one
contract. This Supplement will become effective when the Collateral Agent receives a counterpart (whether by electronic transmission or otherwise) of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary.
SECTION 4. The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof that:
(1) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all the Pledged Securities of the New Subsidiary as of the date hereof;
(2) set forth on Schedule II attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all of the material Patents, registered Trademarks and registered Copyrights of the New Subsidiary as of the date hereof;
(3) set forth on Schedule III attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all Commercial Tort Claims of the New Subsidiary individually in excess of $5.0 million as of the date hereof; and
(4) set forth on Schedule IV attached hereto is the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER NOTES DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION).
SECTION 7. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein, in the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement and in the Intercreditor Agreements will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties will endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder will be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement. The address of each of the New Subsidiaries for purposes of all notices and other communications under the Intercreditor Agreements is: [ ].
SECTION 9. The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement,
including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Trustee and for the Collateral Agent.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Agents have duly executed this Supplement to the Second Lien Notes Collateral Agreement and to the Intercreditor Agreements as of the day and year first above written.

SCHEDULE IV
COMMERCIAL TORT CLAIMS
Reference is made to the class action settlement involving Visa and Mastercard, who separately and together with certain banks, engaged with certain actions that resulted in merchants paying excessive interchange fees when accepting Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards in connection with store and online purchases. Under the settlement, Visa, Mastercard and other bank defendants have agreed to provide approximately $6.24 billion in class settlement funds. The net class settlement fund will be used to pay valid claims of merchants that accepted Visa and Mastercard credit or debit cards between January 1, 2004 through January 25, 2019.
The Court has given preliminary approval to this settlement. A Court hearing is set for November 7, 2019 for the Court to officially approve of the settlement.
Merchants have until July 23, 2019 to decide if they will stay in the settlement and wait to file a claim, object to the settlement and file a notice to appear with the Court, or to opt out and make a separate claim.
The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential recovery on its portion of the claims and believes there is a reasonable chance such recovery will exceed $2.5 million.
