Furthermore, no pledgor will be required to (a) enter into control agreements or otherwise perfect any security interest by “control” (other than as specifically required by this Agreement with respect to the Collateral Deposit Accounts and Lock Boxes, and the delivery of stock certificates or other certificates, if any, constituting Collateral representing equity interests of the Pledgors (other than the Company) and their respective Subsidiaries to the extent possession of such certificates perfects a security interest therein and intercompany notes (other than between Loan Parties) and other notes in excess of $5,000,000); or (b) perfect security interests in (x) letter-of-credit rights or (y) commercial tort claims with a value less than $5,000,000, except in the case of letter-of-credit rights to the extent such security can be perfected solely by filing of a UCC-1 financing statement.

SECTION 4.13 Letter-of-Credit Rights

(a) Schedule 16 to the Perfection Certificate lists all Letter-of-Credit Rights constituting ABL Priority Collateral of such Pledgor. All action by such Pledgor necessary or desirable to protect and perfect the Administrative Agent’s Lien on each item listed on Schedule 16 to the Perfection Certificate (including the delivery of all originals) has been duly taken. Upon the taking of such actions, the Administrative Agent will have a fully perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral listed on Schedule 16 to the Perfection Certificate, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) If any Pledgor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit constituting Collateral in excess of $5,000,000 in face amount, it shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after becoming a beneficiary, notify the Administrative Agent thereof and (i) undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and/or confirmation bank to consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Administrative Agent and (ii) subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and/or confirmation bank to agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account at the Administrative Agent for application to the Secured Obligations, in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 4.14 Federal, State or Municipal Claims

-23-

SECTION 4.15 No Interference

Such Pledgor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Administrative Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

SECTION 4.16 Collateral Access Agreements

Such Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement, from the lessor of each leased property, mortgagee of owned property or bailee or consignee with respect to any warehouse, processor or converter facility or other location where Collateral in excess of $2,000,000 in value is stored or located. With respect to such locations or warehouse space leased as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and thereafter, if the Administrative Agent has not received a Collateral Access Agreement as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (or, if later, as of the date such location is acquired or leased), the Borrower’s Eligible Inventory at that location shall be subject to such Reserves as may be established by the Administrative Agent. After the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, either (x) no real property or warehouse space shall be leased by such Pledgor and no Inventory shall be shipped to a processor or converter under arrangements established after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, unless and until a satisfactory Collateral Access Agreement shall first have been obtained with respect to such location, or (y) if a satisfactory Collateral Access Agreement has not been obtained, the Borrower’s Eligible Inventory at that location shall be subject to the establishment of Reserves acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Such Pledgor shall timely and fully pay and perform in all material respects its obligations under all leases and other agreements with respect to each leased location or third party warehouse where any Collateral is or may be located.

SECTION 4.17 Deposit Account Control Agreements

Such Pledgor will provide to the Administrative Agent promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly executed on behalf of each financial institution holding a deposit account constituting ABL Priority Collateral of such Pledgor as set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 4.18 ULC/Partnership Interests

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, each Pledgor shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of all ULC/Partnership Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as such ULC/Partnership Interests are effectively transferred into the name of the Administrative Agent or any other Person on the books and records of such ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Accordingly, such Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends, property or other distributions, if any, in respect of such ULC/Partnership Interests (except insofar as the Pledgor has granted a security interest in such dividends, property or other distributions, and any shares which are ULC/Partnership Interests shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as collateral hereunder) and shall have the right to vote such ULC/Partnership Interests and to control the direction, management and policies of the issuer of such ULC/Partnership Interests to the same extent as the Pledgor would if such ULC/Partnership

-24-

Interests were not pledged to the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall constitute the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party, or any other Person other than such Pledgor as a shareholder or member of any ULC/Partnership for the purposes of any applicable law until such time as notice is given to such ULC/Partnership (which has not been withdrawn) and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the Administrative Agent or any Person as the holder of the ULC/Partnership Interests of such ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as a shareholder or member of a ULC/Partnership prior to such time, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective with respect to the ULC/Partnership Interests of such ULC/Partnership without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Securities Collateral which are not ULC/Partnership Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Pledgor shall cause or permit, or enable any ULC/Partnership in which it holds ULC/Partnership Interests to cause or permit, the Administrative Agent to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC/Partnership; (c) be held out as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC/Partnership by reason of the Administrative Agent holding a security interest in such ULC/Partnership Interests; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such ULC/Partnership.

Such license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. With respect to Inventory, each Pledgor irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent may sell any of such Pledgor’s Inventory directly to any person, including without limitation persons who have previously purchased the Pledgor’s Inventory from such Pledgor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Pledgor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Pledgor and the Administrative Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to such Pledgor and sell such Inventory as provided herein.

Each Pledgor shall concurrently with the delivery of annual financial statements under Section 5.01(a) of the Credit Agreement provide to the Administrative Agent written notice of any newly filed or acquired Patent, Trademark, Copyright, or Exclusive Copyright License (in each case filed with the United States Copyright Office or the United States Patent and Trademark Office) and confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) above by execution of an instrument which shall contain such provisions regarding the duties, liabilities, obligations, indemnities, benefits and protections of the Administrative Agent as are reasonably acceptable to it and shall promptly file and record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office, as applicable, such instrument as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right but shall in no way be obligated to file applications for protection of the Intellectual Property Collateral and/or bring suit in the name of any Pledgor, the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to enforce the Intellectual Property Collateral and any license thereunder.

After the Closing Date, each Pledgor will comply with the terms of Section 7.2.

(b) Each Pledgor shall direct all of its Account Debtors to forward payments directly to Lock Boxes subject to Lock Box Agreements. The Administrative Agent shall have sole access to the Lock Boxes at all times and each Pledgor shall take all actions necessary to grant the Administrative Agent such sole access. At no time shall any Pledgor remove any item from a Lock Box or a Collateral Deposit Account without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. If any Pledgor should refuse or neglect to notify any Account Debtor to forward payments directly to a Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement after notice from the Administrative

-30-

Agent, the Administrative Agent shall, notwithstanding the language set forth in Section 10.2(b) be entitled to make such notification directly to such Account Debtor. If notwithstanding the foregoing instructions, any Pledgor receives any proceeds of any Receivables, such Pledgor shall receive such payments as the Administrative Agent’s trustee, and shall immediately deposit all cash, checks or other similar payments related to or constituting payments made in respect of Receivables received by it to a Collateral Deposit Account. All funds deposited into any Lock Box subject to a Lock Box Agreement or a Collateral Deposit Account will be swept on a daily basis into a collection account maintained by such Pledgor with the Administrative Agent (the “Collection Account”). The Administrative Agent shall hold and apply funds received into the Collection Account as provided by the terms of Section 7.3.

SECTION 7.2 Covenant Regarding New Deposit Accounts; Lock Boxes.

(a) Before opening or replacing any Collateral Deposit Account or other Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts), or establishing a new Lock Box, each Pledgor shall (a) obtain the Administrative Agent’s consent in writing to the opening of such Collateral Deposit Account or other Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts) or establishing of such Lock Box, and (b) cause each bank or financial institution in which it seeks to open (i) a Collateral Deposit Account or other Deposit Account (other than Excluded Accounts), to enter into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of such Collateral Deposit Account or other Deposit Account and provide for a daily sweep into the Collection Account, or (ii) a Lock Box, to enter into a Lock Box Agreement with the Administrative Agent in order to give the Administrative Agent Control of the Lock Box and provide for a daily sweep into the Collection Account. In the case of Deposit Accounts or Lock Boxes maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement regarding setoffs.

SECTION 7.3 Application of Proceeds; Deficiency.

(a) All amounts deposited in the Collection Account shall, during any Cash Dominion Period but subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, be deemed received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement and shall, after having been credited to the Collection Account, be applied (and allocated) by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(b) of the Credit Agreement; provided that, so long as no Cash Dominion Period is then in effect, collections which are received into the Collection Account shall be deposited into the Borrower’s Funding Account rather than being used to reduce amounts owing under the Credit Agreement. During any Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall require all other cash proceeds of the Collateral, which are not required to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the Administrative Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. During any Cash Dominion Period, no Pledgor shall have any control whatsoever over said cash collateral account. During any Cash Dominion Period, any such proceeds of the Collateral shall, subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement be applied in the order set forth in Section 2.18 of the Credit Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise direct, and the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied, shall be deposited by the Administrative Agent into such Pledgor’s general operating account with the Administrative Agent. The Pledgors shall remain liable, jointly and severally, for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, from time to time exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:

(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from any Pledgor or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon any Pledgor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located, for purposes of collecting, assembling, processing, removing or otherwise dealing with such Collateral, and may remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Collateral and use in connection with such purposes any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of any Pledgor;

(ii) demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to any Pledgor, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, such Pledgor shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent;

-32-

(iii) sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

(iv) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any place or places so designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Administrative Agent and therewith delivered to the Administrative Agent, (B) store and keep any Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Administrative Agent and (C) while the Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. Each Pledgor’s obligation to deliver the Collateral as contemplated in this Section 9.1(a)(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by any Pledgor of such obligation;

(v) (i) withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of any Pledgor constituting Collateral for application to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, or (ii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit Account Control Agreement or and other control agreement with any securities intermediary and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;

(vi) retain and apply the Distributions to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement;

(vii) exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all voting, consensual and other rights and powers with respect to any Collateral; and

(viii) exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party available 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), and the Administrative Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or

-33-

licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(ix) Until the Administrative Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(x) If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Obligations have been paid in full, there remain Swap Agreement Obligations outstanding, the Required Secured Parties may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 9.1 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Swap Agreement Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Swap Agreement.

SECTION 9.2 Pledgor’s Obligations Upon Event of Default

Upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Administrative Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Administrative Agent, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere, and undertake each of the other obligations set forth in Section 9.1(a)(iv);

(b) permit the Administrative Agent, by the Administrative 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 Pledgor for such use and occupancy;

-34-

(c) at its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Pledgor to prepare and deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, the following reports with respect to the applicable Pledgor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.

SECTION 9.3 Notice of Sale

Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

SECTION 9.4 Waiver of Notice and Claims

Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession or the Administrative Agent’s disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder, (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law, and (iv) 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 privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Pledgor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.

-35-

SECTION 9.5 Certain Sales of Collateral

(a) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral or Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Company thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Company would agree to do so.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Administrative Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Administrative Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Administrative Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the Company of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Administrative Agent and all others participating in the distribution of such Securities Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

-36-

(d) If the Administrative Agent determines, subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall determine and inform the Administrative Agent of the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by the Administrative Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.

(e) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 9.6 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies

(a) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties; nor shall it be required to marshal any collateral. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Security Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

SECTION 9.7 Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property

If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (but subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), upon the written demand of the Administrative Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered and applied for Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof.

SECTION 10.2 Authorization for Administrative Agent to Take Certain Actions

(a) Each Pledgor irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Pledgor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to, at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) [reserved], (v) at any time during a Cash Dominion Period, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Administrative Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in Section 7.3, (vi) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens that are Permitted Encumbrances), (vii) to contact Account Debtors for any reason if Aggregate Availability is less than $112,500,000, (viii) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Pledgor and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, (ix) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to sign such Pledgor’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor of the Pledgor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (x) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to exercise all of such Pledgor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xii) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables, (xiii) to prepare, file and sign such Pledgor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Pledgor, (xiv) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to prepare, file and sign such Pledgor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables,

-38-

(xv) at any time during the continuation of an Event of Default, to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Pledgor to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Pledgor, and (xvi) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement; and such Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Pledgor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

(b) All acts of said attorney or designee pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.2(a) are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, under this Section 10.2 are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 11.1 Concerning Administrative Agent

(a) [Reserved].

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other 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 Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (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 Administrative Agent or any other 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.

(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for

-39-

the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 11.1(c).

(d) The Pledgors and the Administrative 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 Pledgor agrees that the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Administrative Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Administrative Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

(e) No Pledgor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 8.1 and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Pledgor and the Administrative Agent or other conduct of the Administrative Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 8.1) shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Administrative Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Secured Parties.

-40-

(f) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it 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.

(g) If any item of Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may select which provision or provisions shall control.

(h) Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) each Pledgor shall remain liable under this Agreement and under each of the underlying contracts to which such Pledgor is a party described herein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Holders of any of their rights, remedies or powers hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or such underlying contracts described herein and (iii) neither the Trustee or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability under such underlying contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement, nor shall the Holders, the Trustee or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any of the Pledgors hereunder or under any of the contracts described herein.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent. Nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Pledgors to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(j) In acting under and by virtue of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have all of the rights, protections and immunities granted to the Administrative Agent and the Trustee under the Credit Agreement (including, but not limited to, the right to be indemnified under Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement), and all such rights, protections and immunities are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 11.2 Administrative Agent May Perform; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact

If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement during the continuance of any Event of Default (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay and discharge any taxes, assessments and special assessments, levies, fees and governmental charges imposed upon or

-41-

assessed against, and landlords’, carriers’, mechanics’, workmen’s, repairmen’s, laborers’, materialmen’s, suppliers’ and warehousemen’s Liens and other claims arising by operation of law against, all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Collateral), subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action) do the same or cause it to be done, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.06 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof (but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to such Pledgor or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

SECTION 11.3 Continuing Security Interest; Assignment

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other Persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Each of the Pledgors agrees that its obligations hereunder and the security interest created hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of all or any part of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Pledgor or otherwise.

-42-

SECTION 11.4 Termination; Release

(a) When (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full (or with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit, a cash deposit has been delivered to the Administrative Agent as required by the Credit Agreement) other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and no commitments of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are outstanding, this Agreement shall terminate and the Collateral shall be automatically and without further action released from the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties created hereby, and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of each Pledgor to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the sole expense of any Pledgor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such release and termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be (i) sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Pledgor in a sale, transfer or other disposition permitted by the Credit Agreement, other than with respect to a sale, transfer or other disposition to another Pledgor, or (ii) be or become an Excluded Asset pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, then, in each case such Collateral shall be automatically and without further action released from the security interests created by this Agreement. If a Pledgor is disposed of pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement or is otherwise released from its guarantee pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) the Credit Agreement, such Pledgor shall be automatically and without further action released from its obligations under this Agreement. In either case, the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the termination and release of the Liens created hereby on Collateral of such Pledgor, or such Pledgor, as applicable, subject to, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s receipt of an Officers’ Certificate from the Company stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreement.

(c) The Liens securing the Secured Obligations with respect to Non-ABL Priority Collateral shall be released when required pursuant to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, following the request of the applicable party or parties thereto, in accordance with Section 9.02(c) of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 11.5 Modification in Writing

No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and unless in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Secured Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

SECTION 11.9 Execution in Counterparts

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 11.10 Business Days

In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

SECTION 11.11 Taxes and Expenses

Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Agreement shall be paid by the Pledgors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Pledgors shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants

-44-

who may be employees of the Administrative Agent) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Pledgors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Pledgors.

SECTION 11.12 No Claims Against Administrative Agent

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Administrative Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Administrative Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
