WHEREAS, pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement, the Lenders have severally agreed to make extensions of credit to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, in connection with the ABL Credit Agreement, the Parent Borrower, and certain Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower, as Subsidiary Borrowers and certain other Domestic Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower, as Subsidiary Guarantors executed and delivered a U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 12, 2012, in favor of GE Capital, as U.S. ABL Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified from time to time, the “U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the U.S. Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, each Grantor granted to the U.S. ABL Collateral Agent a security interest in its Intellectual Property, including Trademarks; and

WHEREAS, each Grantor has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
