during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute, and in addition hereby confirms that
pursuant to §10 hereof such Assignor has constituted and appointed the Collateral Agent as such
Assignor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute on such Assignor’s behalf, an assignment of
federally registered trademarks and other registered trademarks in substantially the form of
Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Assignment of Marks”). Each Assignor hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent to complete as assignee and record with the PTO and any other relevant authority
the Assignment of Marks upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and

interest in and to the Pledged Trademarks; provided that such grant, assignment, transfer
and conveyance shall be and become of force and effect only (i) upon or after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) either (A) upon the written demand of the
Collateral Agent at any time during such continuance or (B) immediately and automatically (without
notice or action of any kind by the Collateral Agent) upon an Event of Default for which
acceleration of the Notes is automatic under the Indenture or upon the sale or other disposition of
or foreclosure upon the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, and applicable law
(including the transfer or other disposition of the Collateral by any Assignor to the Collateral
Agent or its nominee in lieu of foreclosure).
4
2.3. Supplemental to Security Agreement. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, each
Assignor has granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing
security interest in and lien on such Assignor’s right, title and interest to the Collateral
(including the Pledged Trademarks). The Security Agreement, and all rights and interests of the
Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral (including the Pledged Trademarks) thereunder, are hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects. In no event shall this Trademark Agreement, the grant,
assignment, transfer and conveyance of
the Pledged Trademarks hereunder, or the recordation of this Trademark Agreement (or any
document hereunder) with the PTO or any other relevant authority, adversely affect or impair, in
any way or to any extent, the Security Agreement, the security interest of the Collateral Agent in
the Collateral (including the Pledged Trademarks) pursuant to the Security Agreement and this
Trademark Agreement, the attachment and perfection of such security interest under the Uniform
Commercial Code of the State of New York or any other relevant jurisdiction (including the security
interest in the Pledged Trademarks), or any present or future rights and interests of the
Collateral Agent in and to the Collateral (including the Pledged Trademarks) under or in connection
with the Security Agreement, this Trademark Agreement or the Uniform Commercial Code of the State
of New York or any other relevant jurisdiction or otherwise. Any and all rights and interests of
the Collateral Agent in and to the Pledged Trademarks (and any and all obligations of each Assignor
with respect to the Pledged Trademarks) provided herein, or arising hereunder or in connection
herewith, shall only supplement and be cumulative and in addition to the rights and interests of
the Collateral Agent or any of the other Secured Parties (and the obligations of each Assignor) in,
to or with respect to the Collateral (including the Pledged Trademarks) provided in or arising
under or in connection with the Security Agreement or otherwise and shall not be in derogation
thereof.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

each of the Trademarks (other than ownership and other rights reserved by third party owners with
respect to Trademarks that any Assignor is licensed to use), free and clear of any Liens, including
pledges, assignments, licenses, registered user agreements and covenants by any Assignor not to xxx

regular business hours.
5. NO TRANSFER OR INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS.
Without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent, no Assignor will enter into any
agreement (for example, a license agreement) that is inconsistent with any Assignor’s obligations
under this Trademark Agreement or the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, however, each Assignor shall have the right to enter into licenses of the Pledged
Trademarks in the ordinary course of business in connection with franchise agreements permitted
under §28 of the Security Agreement and upon prior written notice to the Collateral Agent.
6. AFTER-ACQUIRED TRADEMARKS, ETC.
6.1. After-acquired Trademarks. If, before the Obligations shall have been finally
paid and satisfied in full, any Assignor shall obtain any right, title or interest in or to any
other or new Trademarks, Trademark Registrations or Trademark Rights, the provisions of this
Trademark Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and the Assignors shall provide to the
Collateral Agent notice thereof in writing not later than one month after the last day of each
fiscal quarter of the Issuer and execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents or
instruments as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request further to implement, preserve or
evidence the Collateral Agent’s interest therein. In addition, on the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable written request (not to exceed four times per calendar year so long as no Event of
Default is continuing), the Assignors shall promptly provide the Collateral Agent with a revised
version of Schedule A hereto showing any additions or revisions to the Trademarks and
Trademark Registrations then owned by any Assignor.
6.2. Amendment to Schedule. Each Assignor authorizes the Collateral Agent to modify

Rights under §2 or this §6.
7. TRADEMARK PROSECUTION.
7.1. Assignors Responsible. Each Assignor shall assume full and complete
responsibility for the prosecution, defense, enforcement or any other necessary or desirable
actions in connection with the Pledged Trademarks, and shall hold each of the Collateral Agent and
the Secured Parties harmless from any and all costs, damages, liabilities and expenses that may be
incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Parties in connection with the Collateral
Agent’s interest in the Pledged Trademarks or any other action or failure to act in connection with
this Trademark Agreement or
the transactions contemplated hereby. In respect of such responsibility and in the event that
trademark counsel is required, the Assignors shall retain trademark counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Collateral Agent.
6
7.2. Assignors’ Duties, etc. Each Assignor shall have the right and the duty, subject
to the last sentence of §7.1, to prosecute diligently any trademark registration applications of
the Trademarks pending as of the date of this Trademark Agreement or thereafter, to preserve and
maintain all rights in the Trademarks and Trademark Registrations, including the filing of
appropriate renewal applications and other instruments to maintain in effect the Trademarks and
Trademark Registrations and the payment when due of all registration renewal fees and other fees,
taxes and other expenses that shall be incurred or that shall accrue with respect to any of the
Trademarks or Trademark Registrations; provided that no Assignor shall have the duty to
take any action with respect to any Trademark which has a minimal value or is otherwise no longer
useful in the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries. Any expenses incurred in connection
with such applications and actions shall be borne jointly and severally by the Assignors. No
Assignor shall abandon any filed trademark registration application, or any Trademark Registration
or Trademark (other than any Trademark which has a minimal value or is otherwise no longer useful
in the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries), without the consent of the Collateral Agent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
7.3. Assignors’ Enforcement Rights. Each Assignor shall have the right and the duty,
subject to the last sentence of §7.1, to bring suit or other action in such Assignor’s own name to
maintain and enforce the Trademarks, the Trademark Registrations and the Trademark Rights;
provided that no Assignor shall have the duty to take any action with respect to any
Trademark which has a minimal value or is otherwise no longer useful in the business of the Issuer
and its Subsidiaries. Such Assignor may require the Collateral Agent to join in such suit or
action as necessary to assure such Assignor’s ability to bring and maintain any such suit or action
in any proper forum if (but only if) the Collateral Agent is completely satisfied that such joinder
will not subject the Collateral Agent or any Holder to any risk of liability. Each Assignor shall
promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent for all damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this §7.3.
7.4. Protection of Trademarks, etc. In general, each Assignor shall take any and all
such actions (including institution and maintenance of suits, proceedings or actions) as may be
necessary or appropriate to properly maintain, protect, preserve, care for and enforce the Pledged
Trademarks; provided that no Assignor shall have the duty to take any action with respect
to any Trademark which has a minimal value or is otherwise no longer useful in the business of the
Issuer and its Subsidiaries. No Assignor shall take or fail to take any action, nor permit any
action to be taken or not taken by others under its control, that would adversely affect the
validity, grant or enforcement of the Pledged Trademarks; provided that no Assignor shall
have the duty to take any action with respect to any Trademark which has a minimal value or is
otherwise no longer useful in the business of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries.
7.5. Notification by Assignors. Promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the
Assignors will notify the Collateral Agent in writing of the institution of, or any final adverse
determination in, any proceeding in the PTO or any similar office or agency of the United States or
any foreign country, or any court, regarding the validity of any of the Trademarks, Trademark
Registrations or Trademark Rights or any Assignor’s rights, title or interests in and to the
Pledged Trademarks, and of any event that does or reasonably could materially adversely affect the
value of any of the Pledged Trademarks, the ability of any Assignor or the Collateral Agent to
dispose of any of the Pledged Trademarks or the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent in
relation thereto (including but not limited to the levy of any legal process against any of the
Pledged Trademarks).
7
8. REMEDIES.
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have, in addition to all other rights and
remedies given it by this Trademark Agreement, the Security Agreement or otherwise, those rights
and remedies allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the State of New York or any other relevant jurisdiction, and,
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent may immediately, without
demand of performance and without other notice (except as set forth next below) or demand
whatsoever to any Assignor, all of which are hereby expressly waived, sell or license at public or
private sale or otherwise realize upon the whole or from time to time any part of the Pledged
Trademarks, or any interest that any Assignor may have therein, and after deducting from the
proceeds of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Trademarks all expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent in attempting to enforce this Trademark Agreement (including all reasonable
expenses for broker’s fees and legal services), shall transfer the residue of such proceeds to the
Trustee, which shall apply the residue of such proceeds toward the payment of the Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the Intercreditor Agreement. Notice of any sale,
license or other disposition of the Pledged Trademarks shall be given to the Assignors at least six
(6) Business Days before the time that any intended public sale or other public disposition of the
Pledged Trademarks is to be made or after which any private sale or other private disposition of
the Pledged Trademarks may be made, which each Assignor hereby agrees shall be reasonable notice of
such public or private sale or other disposition. At any such sale or other disposition, the
Collateral Agent may, to the extent permitted under applicable law, purchase or license the whole
or any part of the Pledged Trademarks or interests therein sold, licensed or otherwise disposed of,
subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
9. COLLATERAL PROTECTION.
If any Assignor shall fail to do any act that it has covenanted to do hereunder, or if any
representation or warranty of any Assignor shall be breached, the Collateral Agent, in its own name
or that of any Assignor (in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent), may (but shall not be
obligated to) do such act or remedy such breach (or cause such act to be done or such breach to be
remedied), and the Assignors agree jointly and severally promptly to reimburse the Collateral Agent
for any cost or expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in so doing.
10. POWER OF ATTORNEY.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Assignor does hereby make,
constitute and appoint the Collateral Agent (and any officer or agent of the Collateral Agent as
the Collateral Agent may select in its exclusive discretion) as such Assignor’s true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution and with the power to endorse such Assignor’s
name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments necessary for the Collateral Agent to
use the Pledged Trademarks, or to grant or issue any exclusive or nonexclusive license of any of
the Pledged Trademarks to any third Person, or to take any and all actions necessary for the
Collateral Agent to assign, pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of any of the
Pledged Trademarks or any interest of such Assignor therein to any third Person, and, in general,
to execute and deliver any instruments or documents and do all other acts that such Assignor is
obligated to execute and do hereunder, in each case such actions taken by the Collateral Agent to
be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. Such Assignor hereby ratifies all that such attorney
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof and releases each of the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties from any claims, liabilities, causes of action or demands arising out of or
in connection with any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under this power
of attorney (except for the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct). This
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the duration of
this Trademark Agreement.
8
11. FURTHER ASSURANCES.
11.1. General. Each Assignor shall, at any time and from time to time, and at its
expense, make, execute, acknowledge and deliver, and file and record as necessary or appropriate
with governmental or regulatory authorities, agencies or offices, such agreements, assignments,
documents and instruments, and do such other and further acts and things (including, without
limitation, obtaining consents of third parties), as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request or
as may be necessary or appropriate in order to implement and effect fully the intentions, purposes
and provisions of this Trademark Agreement, or to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the
grant, perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Pledged
Trademarks as a first priority perfected security interest (subject, as to priority, only to
Permitted Prior Liens). Each Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any
time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction
and any trademark office (including, without limitation, the PTO) any initial financing statements
and any other like documents noticing a security interest, and amendments thereto, that (a)
indicate the collateral as the Pledged Trademarks or as being of an equal or lesser scope or with
greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by any trademark office or part 5 of
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York or such other jurisdiction for
the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, any other like documents
noticing a security interest, or amendment, including whether such Assignor is an organization, the
type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Assignor. Each
Assignor agrees to furnish any such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.
Each Assignor also ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed in any Uniform
Commercial Code jurisdiction any like initial financing statements or amendments thereto if filed
prior to the date hereof.
11.2. Duties of the Assignors. Without limiting the provisions of §11.1 above, each
Assignor hereby covenants and agrees that such Assignor shall maintain the security interest
created by this Trademark Agreement as a perfected security interest having priority over all other
Liens other than Permitted Prior Liens and, in furtherance of, but without limiting, the foregoing,
except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Trademark Agreement, shall (i) no later than the
later of the date hereof and within one (1) Business Day of the date on which any Pledged

(or amendments to existing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) (or such other statements
as may be required under applicable law) in such manner and in such places as may be required under

Agent and the priority thereof in the Pledged Trademarks granted hereunder, including the filing of
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in the jurisdiction of organization of such Assignor,
naming such Assignor as the debtor, naming the Collateral Agent as the secured party and describing
the collateral as the Pledged Trademarks and (ii) to the extent that the security interest granted
hereunder with respect to the applicable assets remains in effect at such time, file Uniform
Commercial Code continuation statements (or such other statements as may be required under
applicable law to continue the priority of the security interests described in clause (i)) in the
jurisdiction of organization of such Assignor and in any other location as necessary or appropriate
under applicable law to continue such security interest and the priority thereof, no earlier than

thereof that may have been made pursuant to or in accordance with any Note Document or the
Intercreditor Agreement.
13. COURSE OF DEALING.
No course of dealing between any Assignor and the Collateral Agent, nor any failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent, any right, power or
privilege hereunder or under the Security Agreement or any other agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power or privilege.
14. EXPENSES.
Any and all fees, costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including the reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation of

15. OVERDUE AMOUNTS.

the Pledged Trademarks and the other Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment,

10
16. NO ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT NOR
ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY ASSUMES
ANY LIABILITIES OF ANY ASSIGNOR WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR CLAIMS REGARDING SUCH ASSIGNOR’S
OWNERSHIP OR PURPORTED OWNERSHIP OF, OR RIGHTS OR PURPORTED RIGHTS ARISING FROM, ANY OF THE PLEDGED
TRADEMARKS OR ANY USE, LICENSE OR SUBLICENSE THEREOF, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF ANY PAST, CURRENT OR
FUTURE EVENT, CIRCUMSTANCE, ACT OR OMISSION OR OTHERWISE. ALL OF SUCH LIABILITIES SHALL BE
EXCLUSIVELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUCH ASSIGNOR, AND THE ASSIGNORS SHALL INDEMNIFY THE COLLATERAL
AGENT AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES FOR ANY AND ALL COSTS, EXPENSES, DAMAGES AND CLAIMS, INCLUDING
LEGAL FEES, INCURRED BY COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH
LIABILITIES, SUCH LIABILITY TO INDEMNIFY TO BE BORNE JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY BY THE ASSIGNORS.

Assignor care of the address for notices for the Issuer under the Indenture, or to such other
address as either party may designate by written notice to the other in accordance with this
provision, and (b) deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon

18. [RESERVED].
19. INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.
The provisions of this Trademark Agreement are subject in all respects to the provisions of
the Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between this
Trademark Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
control.
20. COLLATERAL AGENT’S EXONERATION.
Under no circumstances shall the Collateral Agent be deemed to assume any responsibility for
or obligation or duty with respect to any part or all of the Collateral of any nature or kind or
any matter or proceedings arising out of or relating thereto, other than after an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing to act in a commercially reasonable manner with respect to
the Collateral. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to take
any action of any kind to collect, preserve or protect its or any Assignor’s rights in the
Collateral or against other parties thereto. The Collateral Agent’s prior recourse to any part or
all of the Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for
payment or collection of any of the Obligations. In acting as Collateral Agent, the Collateral
Agent may rely upon and enforce each and all of the rights, powers, protections, immunities,
indemnities and benefits of the Trustee under Article 7 of the Indenture, mutatis mutandis, as if
the Collateral Agent was the “Trustee,” each reference therein to the Indenture was a reference to
this Agreement and the other Security Documents and each reference therein to the “Company” or any
“Guarantor” was a reference to the Assignors. Each Assignor hereby acknowledges and affirms that
the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to the security interest in the
Pledged Trademarks made and granted hereby, including with respect to limitation of liability and
indemnification, are more
fully set forth in Article 10 of the Indenture, the terms and provisions of which are
incorporated by reference herein.
11
21. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.
Neither this Trademark Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived
or discharged orally or by course of conduct. Subject to the last sentence of this §21, the
Collateral Agent shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or
impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing
and signed by an authorized officer of the Collateral Agent. Any such waiver shall be enforceable
only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right,
power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such
right, power and/or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion,
whether similar in kind or otherwise. No amendment or modification to, or any waiver of, any
provision of this Trademark Agreement shall be effective unless such amendment, modification or
waiver is permitted under and effected in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.
22. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.
THIS TRADEMARK AGREEMENT IS INTENDED TO TAKE EFFECT AS A SEALED INSTRUMENT AND SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each Assignor
agrees that any suit for the enforcement of this Trademark Agreement may be brought in the courts
of the State of New York sitting in New York County or in the United States District Court of the
Southern District of New York, or any appellate court from any thereof, and consents to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and to service of process in any such suit being made
upon the Assignors by mail at the address specified in §17. Each Assignor hereby waives any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that
such suit is brought in an inconvenient court.
23. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH ASSIGNOR WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING
OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS TRADEMARK AGREEMENT, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER
OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, each Assignor
waives any right which it may have to claim or recover in any litigation referred to in the
preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other
than, or in addition to, actual damages. The Assignors (i) certify that neither the Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any representative, agent or attorney of the Collateral Agent
or any other Secured Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing
waivers and (ii) acknowledge that, in entering into the Indenture and the other Note Documents to
which the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party is a party, the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties are relying upon, among other things, the waivers and certifications
contained in this §23.
12
24. MISCELLANEOUS.
The headings of each section of this Trademark Agreement are for convenience only and shall
not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Trademark Agreement and all rights and
obligations hereunder shall be binding upon each Assignor and its respective successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and their
respective successors and assigns;
provided that neither this Trademark Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder
may be assigned by any Assignor, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent acting
at the direction of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes
then outstanding, and any purported assignment in breach of this proviso shall be of no force and
effect. This Trademark Agreement may be executed in one or more duplicate counterparts and when
signed by all of the parties listed below shall constitute a single binding agreement. In the
event of any irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of this Trademark Agreement and the
Security Agreement, the provisions of the Security Agreement shall control. If any term of this
Trademark Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all
other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Trademark Agreement shall be
construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been
included herein. Each Assignor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Trademark Agreement.
