Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations that would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Secured Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, or reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

During the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to (i) transfer to or to register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 11(a), (ii) exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, and (iii) convert Security Collateral consisting of Financial Assets credited to any Securities Account to Security Collateral consisting of Financial Assets held directly by the Administrative Agent, and to convert Security Collateral consisting of Financial Assets held directly by the Administrative Agent to Security Collateral consisting of Financial Assets credited to any Securities Account.

(b) Promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, with respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security of a Subsidiary, such Grantor will cause the issuer thereof either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(a) During the continuation of an Event of Default, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent, each Grantor will maintain all (i) Electronic Chattel Paper so that the Administrative Agent has control of the Electronic Chattel Paper in the manner specified in Section 9-105 of the UCC and (ii) all transferable records so that the

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9(c), each Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Accounts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction during the continuation of an Event of Default, shall take) such commercially reasonable action as such Grantor (or the Administrative Agent) may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the

Obligors under any Accounts, of the assignment of such Accounts, to the Administrative Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Accounts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Accounts, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Accounts, of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be either (A) released to such Grantor to the extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) except with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Accounts to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof.

Section 10. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other domestic governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other domestic governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings, except, in each case, to the extent failure to act could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Grantor shall use property statutory notice in connection with its use of Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. Except as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain.

(c) Except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all commercially reasonable steps which it or the Administrative Agent (during the continuation of an Event of Default) deems reasonable and

appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.

(d) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other domestic governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(q) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. Each Grantor shall, concurrently with the delivery of financial statements under Section 6.01(a) and (b) of the Credit Agreement, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other domestic governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

Section 11. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right in a manner prohibited by the Credit Agreement.

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

(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in-surplus and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

(x) in the case of the foregoing clause (A), any such property distributed in respect of any Security Collateral, shall be deemed to constitute acquired property and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement and (y) in the case of the foregoing clauses (B) and (C), any such cash distributed in respect of any Security Collateral shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement applicable to the proceeds of a Disposition of property.

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

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) Upon notice to the applicable grantor, all rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 11(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Administrative Agent, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

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

Section 12. Additional Shares. Any issuance of Equity Interests or other securities by an issuer of Pledged Equity (to the extent that such issuer is a Subsidiary) in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged Equity, in each case to any Person other than any Grantor, shall

constitute a Disposition of property by the Grantor owning such Pledged Equity of such Subsidiary.

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

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Administrative Agent,

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

Section 14. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, after providing notice to such Grantor of its intent to do so, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 17.

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

Section 16. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Accounts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect Cash Collateral Accounts and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Accounts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(c) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to any Deposit Account that is not an Exempt Deposit Account.

(d) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral

for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 17) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the manner set forth in Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

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

(f) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Security Collateral of any Grantor pursuant to this Section 16, each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will, at its own expense, do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Security Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

(g) The Administrative Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security Collateral pursuant to this Section 16, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Security Collateral: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto; (ii) any information and projections; and (iii) any other information in its possession relating to such Security Collateral.

(h) Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in Section 16(f) above and, consequently, agrees that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it will pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Security Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent shall demand compliance with Section 9(f) above.

Section 17. Indemnity and Expenses. Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel that the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, in each case, in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 18. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) Subject to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I through IV attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I through IV, respectively, hereto, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication or facsimile transmission) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, faxed or delivered to it, if to any Grantor, addressed to it in care of the Borrower at the Borrower’s address specified in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, if to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made at such time as shall be set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. Delivery by telecopier or in .pdf or similar format by electronic mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

Section 20. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized), (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may assign or

otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 21. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that such Grantor shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a written request for release, together with a form of release for execution by the Administrative Agent, a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and such other supporting information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(b) Upon the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted and (B) obligations and liabilities under Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank shall have been made) and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized), the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 22. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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 in .pdf or similar format by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 23. The Mortgages. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any lien or security interest other than a Permitted Encumbrance or a Permitted Lien (as defined in the Mortgage) is asserted against any Mortgaged Property, then Grantor, as mortgagee, shall promptly give the holder of the applicable Mortgage a detailed written notice of such lien or security interest (including origin, amount and other terms) and otherwise comply with Section 3.2 of such Mortgage.

Section 24. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
