(c) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Stock pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing without the consent of such Pledgor or any other Person that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Stock directly to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, subject to the rights of the Collateral Agents and the obligations of the Pledgors under the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement.
5.2 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Second Lien Collateral Agent

7
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Second Lien Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Pledgor in trust for the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all of the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.3.
5.3 Application of Proceeds
. Subject to the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8 of the Credit Agreement, at any time at the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s election, subject to the terms of the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral in payment of the Secured Obligations, and shall make any such application in the following order:
First, to pay incurred and unpaid reasonable, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Agents under the Loan Documents;
Second, to the Second Lien Collateral Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Secured Obligations, pro rata among the Second Lien Secured Parties according to the amounts of such Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid to each of them;
Third, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) and the Commitments shall have been terminated, to the Collateral Agents, in accordance with the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement; and
Fourth, any remaining balance after the application in full pursuant to clause Third above, shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same.
5.4 Code and Other Remedies
. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself, the Administrative Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or notices otherwise required by the Credit Agreement) to or upon any Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law unless otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith, subject to pre-existing rights and licenses, sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party or elsewhere upon such
8
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, stay or appraisal in any Pledgor, which rights or equities are hereby waived and released. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Second Lien Collateral Agent at places which the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.4, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 5.3, and only after such application and after the payment by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Second Lien Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall give each applicable Pledgor not less than 10 days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any remedies provided in this Section 5.4 shall be subject to the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement.
5.5 Sale of Pledged Stock
.
(a) Subject in all respects to Section 10.14 of the Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of any Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 5.4, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective purchaser of the Pledged Stock: (i) any registration statement or prospectus, and all supplements and amendments thereto; and (ii) any other information in its possession relating to such Pledged Stock to the extent reasonably necessary to be disclosed in connection with such sale of Pledged Stock, in each case provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent uses commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such information is kept confidential in connection with such sale of Pledged Stock and the recipient is informed of the confidential nature of the information.
(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Second Lien Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Stock, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to
9
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
5.6 Deficiency
. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Second Lien Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 6. THE Second LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT
6.1 Second Lien Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc.
(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Second Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, in accordance with the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby gives the Second Lien Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Pledgor, without notice to or assent by such Pledgor, to do any or all of the following (provided that anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Second Lien Collateral Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing):

(b) If any Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Required Term B-2 Lenders, may give such Pledgor written notice of such failure to perform or comply and if such Pledgor fails to perform or comply within five (5) Business Days of receiving such notice (or if the Second Lien Collateral Agent reasonably determines that irreparable harm to the Collateral or to the security interest of the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder could result prior to the end of such five-Business Day period), then the Second Lien Collateral Agent may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
(c) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
(d) The actions of the Second Lien Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including the rights, protections, privileges, benefits, indemnities and immunities, which are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of the Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Second Lien Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Collateral Agent may resign and a successor Second Lien Collateral Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Second Lien Collateral Agent by a successor Second Lien Collateral Agent, that permitted successor Second Lien Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement from and after the exact time of such discharge. After any retiring Second Lien Collateral Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Second Lien Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and unless otherwise provided in the BrandCo Intercreditor Agreement, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to any Collateral or any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, discretion, waiver,
11
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
election or other action on the part of the Second Lien Collateral Agent only on the written instructions and at the written direction of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Obligations then outstanding; provided that the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Second Lien Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to the Loan Documents or applicable laws.
6.2 Duty of Second Lien Collateral Agent
. To the extent permitted by law, the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Second Lien Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Second Lien Collateral Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any of the other Second Lien Secured Parties shall have responsibility for, without limitation, (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any Person with respect to any Collateral. None of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, any other Second Lien Secured Party or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s, the Second Lien Collateral Agent’s and the other Second Lien Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of their directors, officers, employees or agents.
6.3 Execution of Financing Statements
. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Pledgor authorizes the Second Lien Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor in such form and in such offices as the Second Lien Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Pledgor agrees to provide such information as the Second Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request necessary to enable the Second Lien Collateral Agent to make any such filings promptly following any such request. Notwithstanding
12
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
anything else herein, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not be liable for the preparation, filing, recording, registration or maintenance of any financing statements or any instruments, agreements or other documents, all of which shall be the obligation of Borrower.
6.4 Authority of Second Lien Collateral Agent
. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Second Lien Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Second Lien Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as among the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Second Lien Collateral Agent and the Pledgors, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for itself, the Administrative Agent and the other Second Lien Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Pledgor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
SECTION 7. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Amendments in Writing
. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement.
7.2 Notices
. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Pledgor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.
7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies
. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Second Lien Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such other Second Lien Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
7.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification

LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4

7.6 Set-Off
. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by each Pledgor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise after the expiration of any applicable grace periods and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any other Second Lien Secured Party has made any demand therefor) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount (or any part thereof) any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such other Second Lien Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Pledgor, provided that, if such Second Lien Secured Party is a Lender, it complies with Section 10.7 of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Secured Party shall notify such Pledgor promptly of any such set-off made by it and the application made by it of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent or such other Second Lien Secured Party may have.
7.7 Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy or electronic (e.g., “pdf”) transmission), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
7.8 Severability
14
LEGAL_US_E # 148177266.4
. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(a) submits for itself and its Property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude (i) the Second Lien Collateral Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Secured Obligations (in which case any party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense, including any claim or defense that this Section 7.12 would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court), or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Second Lien Collateral Agent, (ii) any party from bringing any legal action or proceeding in any jurisdiction for the recognition and enforcement of any judgment and (iii) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having jurisdiction;
(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in the New York Courts and appellate courts from either of them, and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and
(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section 7.12 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages (provided that such waiver shall not limit the indemnification obligations of the Pledgors to the extent such special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim with respect to which the applicable Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement).
