Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) acquired by it that is the subject of pending litigation and that could reasonably be expected to result in a judgment or settlement in such Grantor’s favor in excess of $3,000,000 and, upon request by the Collateral Agent (acting in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement) and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, such Grantor shall enter into an Amendment substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto, granting to Collateral Agent a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim.

4.8. Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, if requested to do so by the Collateral Agent (acting in accordance with the Collateral Agency Agreement) to the Intercreditor Agreement and Collateral Agency Agreement, make reasonable commercial efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (i) consent to the assignment of the related Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Collateral Agent and (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

4.9. Control Agreements. For each Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account (other than De Minimis Accounts) that such Grantor at any time maintains, such Grantor will, substantially contemporaneously with the opening of such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account (other than De Minimis Accounts), pursuant to a Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, cause the depository bank that maintains such Deposit Account, securities intermediary that maintains such Securities

Account, or commodities intermediary that maintains such Commodity Account, as applicable, to agree to comply at any time with instructions from the Collateral Agent (or such other party as provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement) to such depository bank, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account, without further consent of such Grantor, or take such other action as the Collateral Agent (or such other party) may approve in order to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of any Control Agreement, unless an Event of Default is continuing the Collateral Agent will not enforce the terms of any Control Agreement in order to take possession of, or prevent or limit the ability of any Grantor to direct the disposition of, the funds and other assets held in any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that the relevant Grantor shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts for a period of at least 90 days following the applicable date to enter into control agreements in favor of the Collateral Agent in respect to any such Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts (other than De Minimis Accounts), such Grantor shall be relieved of any further obligation to deliver control agreements so long as the Priority Lien Representative or agents or bailees of the Priority Lien Representative maintains a perfected second priority lien (subject to Intercreditor Agreement) for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties through control of such Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts and Commodities Accounts pursuant to a control agreement.

4.10. Change of Name or Location; etc. Such Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent prompt written notice (and in any event not less than five (5) days prior thereto (or such lesser time period as may be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) in the case of any change of name or jurisdiction or organization) of any change in such Grantor’s (i) corporate name, (ii) corporate structure, (iii) jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number, and (iv) federal taxpayer identification number.

4.11. Additional Grantors.

(a) Each Grantor agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries that is required to become a party to this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture to become a Grantor for all purposes of this Security Agreement by executing and delivering an Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

(b) Without limiting any other provisions of the Notes Documents, promptly following the acquisition by any Person of one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding Equity Interests in the Company, the Company will give notice of such event to the Collateral Agent and the Company will cause such Person to (i) become a Guarantor by executing and delivering a supplemental indenture in substantially the form specified in the Indenture and delivering an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee if required by the Indenture and (ii) become a party to this Security Agreement by executing and delivering a Parent Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 hereto to the Collateral Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Parent will (i) deliver the original stock certificates, if any, evidencing its Equity Interests in the Company, together with an appropriate undated stock power for each certificate duly executed in blank by Parent and (ii) execute and deliver such other additional closing documents, certificates and legal opinions as were provided by the Parent on the Issue Date.

ARTICLE V

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

5.1. Remedies. During the continuation of an Event of Default, subject in all respects to the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement:

(a) the Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Indenture, or any other Note Document; provided that, this Section 5.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iii) the right to give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, and the right to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral;

(iv) without notice, demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein or in the UCC), the right to enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process), the right to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable;

(v) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, the right to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Equity, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Equity for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all cash dividends and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Equity as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(vi) the right to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder).

(b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) Upon any such public sale or sales or any such private sale or sales, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, as provided under applicable law, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving or protecting the Collateral or its value, enforcing this Security Agreement or perfecting and maintaining the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Parity Lien Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any Parity Lien Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Parity Lien Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Parity Lien Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Equity to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

5.2. Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the request of the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.

5.3. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

ARTICLE VI

ACCOUNT VERIFICATION; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY

6.1. Account Verification and Collection. During the continuation of an Event of Default, subject to the Collateral Agency Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time at the Grantors’ expense to (a) verify the validity, amount or any other material information relating to any Accounts, including verification with the relevant Account Debtors, and (b) enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in each case to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

6.2. Authorization for Parity Lien Secured Party to Take Certain Action.

(a) Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact to do all acts and things necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to preserve and protect the Collateral and perfect and maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral including, without limitation, to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, and to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Equity or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Equity as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Pledged Equity; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement, the Indenture or under any other Note Document.

(b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Parity Lien Secured Parties, under this Section 6.2 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Parity Lien Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it under this Section 6.2 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

6.3. Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO TAKE THOSE ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED EQUITY THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.6(b)(ii), INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF). NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE COLLATERAL AGENT MAY EXERCISE THE RIGHTS AND POWERS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6.3 ONLY DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.

6.4. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.13. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY PARITY LIEN SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

ARTICLE VII

COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEIVABLES AND OTHER

COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

7.1. Collection and Application of Receivables and Other Collateral Proceeds. The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and the Collateral Agent may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but not at any other time). If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any

Proceeds constituting collections of such Receivables, when collected by such Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) be deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Parity Lien Secured Parties only as provided below in this Section, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Parity Lien Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. All Proceeds constituting collections of Receivables while held by the Collateral Account bank (or by any Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for the Parity Lien Obligations of the applicable Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in the Collateral Account established by the relevant Grantor to the payment of the Parity Lien Obligations of such Grantor then due and owing, such application to be made as set forth below in this Section. In addition to the rights of the Parity Lien Secured Parties specified above with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Parity Lien Secured Parties segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Parity Lien Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Parity Lien Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided below in this Section. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds of any Grantor held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Parity Lien Obligations of such Grantor in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect in compliance with the Note Documents, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for such Parity Lien Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Parity Lien Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1. Waivers. As provided in Section 9-612 of the UCC adopted in the State of New York, any notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made shall be deemed sent within a reasonable time if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the extent it may lawfully

do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Parity Lien Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or applicable law. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

8.2. Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and any Parity Lien Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each Parity Lien Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Parity Lien Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Parity Lien Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.4. Parity Lien Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may during the continuance of an Event of Default perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be included in the Parity Lien Obligations and payable on demand.

8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and Parity Lien Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees that the covenants of the Grantors contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

8.6. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Parity Lien Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Parity Lien Secured Parties to the extent required under the Collateral Agency Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties until the Parity Lien Obligations have been paid in full.

8.7. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security 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 Security 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 shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

8.8. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Parity Lien Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Parity Lien Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Parity Lien Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

8.9. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Parity Lien Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Parity Lien Secured Parties, hereunder.

8.10. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

8.11. Expenses. The Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement, in each case upon and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 7.8 of the Collateral Agency Agreement. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

8.12. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

8.13. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Parity Lien Obligations outstanding) until the termination hereof as provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

8.14. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, the Indenture, and the other Note Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

8.15. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

8.16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW) IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH RESPECTIVE JURISDICTIONS. THIS SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION IS NON-EXCLUSIVE AND DOES NOT PRECLUDE A PARTY FROM OBTAINING JURISDICTION OVER ANOTHER PARTY IN ANY COURT OTHERWISE HAVING JURISDICTION.

8.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

8.18. Indemnity. Section 7.9 of the Collateral Agency Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis, as if stated verbatim herein as agreements and obligations of each Grantor.

8.19. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

8.20. Lien Absolute. No Grantor that is a Guarantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder by reason of:

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any of the Parity Lien Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise, or any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Parity Lien Obligations, or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of the Parity Lien Obligations;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability relating to or against the Company, any other Grantor or any other guarantor of any of the Parity Lien Obligations, for any reason related to the Indenture, any other Note Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Parity Lien Obligations, or any Laws purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company, any other Grantor or any other guarantor of the Parity Lien Obligations of the principal of or interest on the Parity Lien Obligations;

(d) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Parity Lien Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Note Document or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any Parity Lien Obligations, including any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon;

(e) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, any other Grantor or any other guarantor of any of the Parity Lien Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company, any other Grantor or any other guarantor of the Parity Lien Obligations, or any of their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company, any other Grantor or any other guarantor or any of the Parity Lien Obligations;

(f) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure or otherwise affect any term of any Note Document or Parity Lien Obligations;

(g) any other setoff, defense or counterclaim whatsoever (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) with respect to the Parity Lien Obligations, any other Note Document, any other agreement or instrument or the transactions contemplated thereby which might constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of any Guarantor; or

(h) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, any other Grantor, any other guarantor of the Parity Lien Obligations, the Collateral Agent, any Holder or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; except in each case to the extent that any written amendment, settlement, compromise, waiver or release expressly modifies or terminates the obligations of such Grantor.

8.21. Release. Each Grantor that is a Guarantor consents and agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time, or from time to time, in compliance with the Indenture and otherwise in its discretion:

(a) renew, extend or change the time of payment, and/or the manner, place or terms of payment of all or any part of the Parity Lien Obligations; and

(b) exchange, release and/or surrender all or any of the Collateral (including the Pledged Equity), or any part thereof, by whomsoever deposited, which is now or may hereafter be held by the Collateral Agent in connection with all or any of the Parity Lien Obligations; all in such manner and upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem proper, and without notice to or further assent from any Grantor that is a Guarantor, it being hereby agreed that each such Guarantor shall be and remain bound upon this Security Agreement, irrespective of the value or condition of any of the Collateral, and notwithstanding any such change, exchange, settlement, compromise, surrender, release, renewal or extension, and notwithstanding also that the Parity Lien Obligations may, at any time, exceed the aggregate principal amount thereof set forth in the Indenture, or any other agreement governing any Parity Lien Obligations.
