(b) To the knowledge of such Grantor, all the shares of the Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

(c) To the knowledge of such Grantor, each of the Pledged Notes constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor with respect thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(d) Such Grantor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Investment Property pledged by it hereunder, free of any and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement or as permitted by the Indenture.

4.5 Changes in Name, etc. Such Grantor will not, except (i) during the period beginning on the date hereof and entity 15 days thereafter, upon prior notice and (ii) upon 15 days’ prior written notice, to the Collateral Trustee and, in each case, upon filing, execution or delivery of all additional financing statements and other documents necessary to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein:

(ii) change its name.

4.6 Notices. Such Grantor will advise the Collateral Trustee:

(b) Promptly, in reasonable detail, of the occurrence of any other event which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the security interests created hereby.

4.7 Investment Property. (a) If such Grantor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a dividend or a distribution in connection with any reclassification, increase or reduction of capital or any certificate issued in connection with any reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Capital Stock of any Issuer of Pledged Stock, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Grantor shall, to the extent applicable and within the time period required under Section 4.1, accept the same as the agent of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, hold the same in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties and deliver the same promptly to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by such Grantor and with, if the Collateral Trustee so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Collateral Trustee, subject to the terms hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Investment Property pledged hereunder upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Collateral Trustee to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of such Investment Property, or any property shall be distributed upon or with respect to such Investment Property pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Trustee, be delivered to the Collateral Trustee promptly to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Grantors shall not be required to hold in trust for the Collateral Trustee, pay over to the Collateral Trustee or deliver to the Collateral Trustee as Collateral any proceeds of any liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer, or any distribution of capital or property in respect of any Investment Property, to the extent that (i) such liquidation, dissolution or distribution would be permitted by the Indenture and (ii) the proceeds thereof are applied toward prepayment of the U.S. Notes to the extent required by Indenture.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee, such Grantor will not (i) except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer to issue any stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of

any Issuer, unless such securities are delivered to the Collateral Trustee, concurrently with the issuance thereof, to be held by the Collateral Trustee as Collateral, (ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, the Investment Property pledged hereunder or Proceeds thereof (except pursuant to a transaction permitted by the Indenture), (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien or option in favor of, or any claim of any Person with respect to, any of such Investment Property or Proceeds thereof, or any interest therein, except for the security interests created by this Agreement and Permitted Liens or (iv) except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, enter into any agreement or undertaking restricting the right or ability of such Grantor or the Collateral Trustee to sell, assign or transfer any of the Pledged Securities or Proceeds thereof.

(d) Each Issuer that is a partnership or a limited liability company (i) confirms that none of the terms of any equity interest issued by it provides that such equity interest is a “security” within the meaning of Sections 8-102 and 8-103 of the New York UCC (a “Security”), (ii) agrees that it will take no action to cause or permit any such equity interest to become a Security, (iii) agrees that it will not issue any certificate representing any such equity interest and (iv) agrees that if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such equity interest shall be or become a Security, such Issuer will (and the Grantor that holds such equity interest hereby instructs such Issuer to) comply with instructions originated by the Collateral Trustee without further consent by such Grantor.

4.8 Receivables. (a) Other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with its past practice, or unless the applicable Grantor concludes that any of the following is in the best interest of such Grantor, such Grantor will not (i) grant any extension of the time of payment of any Receivable, (ii) compromise or settle any Receivable for less than the full amount thereof, (iii) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment of any Receivable, (iv) allow any credit or discount whatsoever on any Receivable or (v) amend, supplement or modify any Receivable in any manner that could adversely affect the value thereof.

(b) Such Grantor will deliver to the Collateral Trustee no less often than on a quarterly basis a copy of each material demand, notice or document received by it that questions or calls into doubt the validity or enforceability of more than 5% of the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Receivables.

4.9 Intellectual Property. (a) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will (i) to such extent as such Grantor determines it is desirable to do so, continue to use each material Trademark on each and every material trademark class of goods applicable to its current line as reflected in its current catalogs, brochures and price lists in order to maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark, (iii) use such Trademark with the appropriate notice of registration and all other notices and legends required by applicable Requirements of Law, and (iv) not (and not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby such Trademark may become invalidated or materially impaired in any way.

(b) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act, or omit to do any act, whereby any material Patent may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public.

(c) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not (and will not permit any licensee or sublicensee thereof to) do any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any material portion of any material Copyrights may become invalidated or otherwise impaired. Such Grantor will not (either itself or through licensees) do any act whereby any material portion of any material Copyrights may fall into the public domain.

(d) Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will not do any act that knowingly uses any material Intellectual Property to infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

(e) Such Grantor will promptly notify the Collateral Trustee in writing if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any material Intellectual Property may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including, without limitation, the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or the United States Copyright Office or any court in the United States regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or the validity of, any material Intellectual Property or such Grantor’s right to register the same or to own and maintain the same.

(f) Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any material Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Collateral Trustee no less often than on a quarterly basis. Such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as are required to evidence the Collateral Trustee’s, and the Secured Parties’ security interest in any material Copyright, Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(g) Such Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, that such Grantor determines may be desirable to maintain and pursue each application relating to any material Intellectual Property (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the material Intellectual Property, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

In the event that any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall (i) take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property and (ii) if such Intellectual Property is of material economic value, notify the Collateral Trustee after it learns thereof no less often than on a quarterly basis and, if such Grantor determines in its reasonable judgment that legal action is appropriate, take legal action to contest the infringement, misappropriation or dilution, to seek injunctive relief where appropriate and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution.

4.10 Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time commence a suit, action or proceeding with respect to any Commercial Tort Claim held by it with a value which such Grantor reasonably believes to be of $3,000,000 or more, such Grantor shall promptly notify the

Collateral Trustee thereof no less often than on a quarterly basis in a writing signed by such Grantor and describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee.

SECTION 5. REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

5.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Collateral Trustee shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Collateral Trustee’s request and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee to furnish to the Collateral Trustee reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(b) The Collateral Trustee hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, subject to the Collateral Trustee’s direction and control after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and the Collateral Trustee may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Collateral Trustee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Trustee, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Trustee for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(d) At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, each Grantor will cooperate with the Collateral Trustee to establish a system of lockbox accounts, under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Trustee, into which all Receivables shall be paid and from which all collected funds will be transferred to a Collateral Account.

5.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable. (a) The Collateral Trustee in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Collateral Trustee’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Collateral Trustee at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall promptly notify obligors on the

Receivables in writing that the Receivables have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Trustee.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables (or any agreement giving rise thereto) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto (provided that no Grantor shall be obligated in any manner to observe and perform any such conditions and obligations if the determination to not so observe and perform is made in good faith in the exercise of Grantor’s reasonable business judgment). Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

5.3 Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Trustee shall have given notice to the relevant Grantor of the Collateral Trustee’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 5.3(b), each Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Notes, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer, and to exercise all voting, corporate and other rights with respect to the Pledged Securities; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate right exercised or other action taken which could reasonably be expected to impair a material portion of Collateral (except in connection with a transaction permitted by the Indenture).

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Collateral Trustee shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, (i) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Securities and make application thereof to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 5.5, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Securities shall be registered in the name of the Collateral Trustee or its nominee, and the Collateral Trustee or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Securities at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Securities as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Securities upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or the Collateral Trustee of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Securities, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Securities with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Collateral Trustee may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Securities pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the

Collateral Trustee in writing 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 Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) to the extent otherwise required hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Securities directly to the Collateral Trustee.

5.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over To Collateral Trustee. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and Instruments shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Trustee in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Trustee in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.5.

5.5 Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Collateral Trustee’s election, the Collateral Trustee may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture or, if any Collateral Trust Agreement is then in effect, in accordance with the provisions of such Collateral Trust Agreement. Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

5.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the 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, the Collateral Trustee, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith 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 Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such 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 Collateral Trustee or any 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 in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Trustee’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at places which the Collateral Trustee shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Trustee shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.6 with respect to any Grantor’s Collateral, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or in any way relating to the Collateral of such Grantor or the rights of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties

hereunder with respect thereto, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations of such Grantor, in the order specified in Section 5.5, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Trustee 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 Collateral Trustee account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

5.7 Registration Rights. (a) If the Collateral Trustee shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 5.6, and if in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor will cause the Issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Collateral Trustee, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Grantor agrees to cause such Issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Collateral Trustee shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Trustee 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 Grantor 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 Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to 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.

(c) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this Section 5.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Trustee and the 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 5.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor 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 under the Indenture.

5.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor 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 fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

5.9 ULC Limitation. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other document or agreement among all or some of the parties hereto, each Grantor is as of the date of this Agreement the sole registered and beneficial owner of all Pledged ULC Shares more particularly described in Schedule 2 to this Agreement and will remain so until such time as such Pledged ULC Shares are fully and effectively transferred into the name of the Secured Party or any other person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement, the Indenture or any other document or agreement delivered among all or some of the parties hereto is intended to or shall constitute the Secured Party or any person other than a Grantor to be a member or shareholder of any ULC until such time as written notice is given to the applicable Grantor and all further steps are taken so as to register the Secured Party or other person as holder of the Pledged ULC Shares. The granting of the pledge and security interest pursuant to Section 2.1 does not make the Secured Party a successor to any Grantor as a member or shareholder of any ULC, and neither the Secured Party nor any of its respective successors or assigns hereunder shall be deemed to become a member or shareholder of any ULC by accepting this Agreement or exercising any right granted herein unless and until such time, if any, when the Secured Party or any successor or assign expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC. Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any dividends or other distributions if any, in respect of the Collateral, and shall have the right to vote such Pledged ULC Shares and to control the direction, management and policies of the ULC issuing such Pledged ULC Shares to the same extent as such Grantor would if such Pledged ULC Shares were not pledged to the Secured Party or to any other person pursuant hereto. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Secured Party to be a member or shareholder of any ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed herefrom and ineffective with respect to the relevant Pledged ULC Shares without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Collateral other than Pledged ULC Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (except to the extent, if any, that the Secured Party or any of its successors or assigns hereafter expressly becomes a registered member or shareholder of any ULC), neither the Secured Party nor any of its respective successors or assigns shall be deemed to have assumed or otherwise become liable for any debts or obligations of any ULC. Except upon the exercise by the Secured Party or other persons of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Pledged ULC Shares or other remedies following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall not cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds Pledged ULC Shares to cause or permit, the Secured Party to: (a) be registered as member or shareholder of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favour in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as member or shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of the Secured Party or other person holding a security interest in the Pledged ULC Shares; or (e) act as a member or shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a member or shareholder of such ULC, including the right to attend a meeting of such ULC or vote the shares of such ULC.

SECTION 6. THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE

6.1 Collateral Trustee’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Trustee 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 Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this 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 Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Trustee the power and right, but not the obligation, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

(i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Receivable or with respect to any other Collateral when payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Trustee may request to evidence the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

and things which the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do; and

(vi) license or sublicense whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any Intellectual Property for such term and on such conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Trustee shall in its sole judgment determine and, in connection therewith, such Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties a royalty-free, world-wide irrevocable license of its Intellectual Property.

(c) The expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable under the Indenture, from the date of payment by the Collateral Trustee to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee promptly on demand.

(d) Each Grantor 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.

6.2 Duty of Collateral Trustee. The Collateral Trustee’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 Collateral Trustee deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Trustee, any Secured Party nor 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 Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Trustee’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the 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 Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Collateral Trustee will not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder (including, without limitation, taking any actions under or in respect of control agreements) unless it has been provided with pre-funding, security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (and, for the avoidance of doubt, from parties reasonably satisfactory to it) against any and all cost, loss, liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.

6.3 Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Trustee determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement. Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Trustee to use the collateral description “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or “all assets of debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” in any such financing statements. Each Grantor hereby ratifies and authorizes the filing by the Collateral Trustee of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof.

6.4 Authority of Collateral Trustee. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Trustee under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Trustee or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Trustee 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 between the Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Indenture and, to the extent then in effect, by the Collateral Trust Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Trustee and the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. The Collateral Trustee is entitled to all the same protections hereunder that the Trustee has under the Indenture.

6.5 Applicable Secured Debt Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for the avoidance of doubt, the rights, duties and obligations of the Collateral Trustee hereunder shall be subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, to the extent in effect, and any rights, duties and obligations of the Applicable Secured Debt Representative thereunder.

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 9.01 or Section 9.02, as applicable, of the Indenture.

7.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Trustee or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 13.01 of the Indenture.

7.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any 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 Collateral Trustee or any 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 Collateral Trustee or any 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 Collateral Trustee or such 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. (a) Each Grantor agrees to pay, or reimburse each Secured Party and the Collateral Trustee and each of their respective Affiliates and each of the directors, officers, partners, trustees, employees, attorneys and agents, (and in each case) their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns for, all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing the Indemnified Liabilities (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) (other than any such enforcement determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court to have been in bad faith) or preserving any rights under this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Collateral Documents to which such Grantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Secured Party and of counsel to the Collateral Trustee.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Indenture, the U.S. Notes and the other Collateral Documents.

7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties and their successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee.

7.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Trustee and each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Grantor or any other Grantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Grantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), 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 Collateral Trustee or such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as the Collateral Trustee or such Secured Party may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee or such Secured Party hereunder, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Indenture, the U.S. Notes or any other Collateral Document, as the Collateral Trustee or such Secured Party may elect, whether or not the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Collateral Trustee and each Secured Party shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Collateral Trustee or such Secured Party 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 Collateral Trustee and each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Collateral Trustee or such 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), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

7.8 Severability. 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.

7.9 Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

7.10 Integration. This Agreement, the Indenture, the U.S. Notes and the other Collateral Documents represent the agreement of the Grantors, the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the Indenture, the U.S. Notes and the other Collateral Documents.

7.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

7.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts 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;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address referred to in Section 7.2 or at such other address of which the Collateral Trustee shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; 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 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

7.13 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents to which it is a party;

(b) neither the Collateral Trustee nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the

other Collateral Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Collateral Trustee and Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Collateral Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Grantors and the Secured Parties.

7.14 Additional Grantors. Each Affiliate of the Company that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to the Indenture shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Affiliate of the Company of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto.

(a) The Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby at the times, and to the extent, provided under Section 12.04 of the Indenture and (in the case of a complete release of the Collateral) this and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Trustee and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Trustee shall deliver to such Grantor, on a date to be reasonably specified by such Grantor, any Collateral held by the Collateral Trustee hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

7.16 Approvals. Any provision contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no action shall be taken hereunder by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Collateral unless and until all applicable requirements, if any, under applicable federal and state laws and the respective rules and regulations thereunder and thereof, as well as any other laws, rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to or having jurisdiction over any Grantor, have in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Trustee been fully satisfied to the extent necessary to take such action and there have been obtained such consents, approvals and authorizations as may be required to be obtained from applicable federal, state and local regulatory authorities and municipalities and any other Governmental Authority under the terms of any franchise, license or similar operating right held by such Grantor in order to take such action. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the grant to the Collateral Trustee of security interests in the Collateral, and all rights and remedies by the Collateral Trustee with respect to the Collateral, shall in all relevant aspects be subject to and governed by said statutes, rules and regulations and that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to diminish the control exercised by any Grantor, except in accordance with the provisions of any statutory requirements and rules and regulations. By its acceptance of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee agrees that it will not take any action pursuant to this Agreement which constitutes or results in any assignment of a license or franchise or any change of control over the communications properties owned and operated by any Grantor, if such assignment of license or franchise or change of control would, under then existing law or under any franchise, require the prior approval of Governmental Authority, without first obtaining such approval. Upon the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, each Grantor will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments and other documents and papers that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably require in order for such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization to be obtained.

EACH GRANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, EACH AGENT AND EACH SECURED PARTY, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

7.18 Collateral Trust Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by such Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to the provisions of any Collateral Trust Agreement then in effect. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Collateral Trust Agreement then in effect and this Agreement, the terms of such Collateral Trust Agreement will govern.

7.19 Force Majeure. In no event shall the Collateral Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

7.20 U.S.A. Patriot Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the Collateral Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the Collateral Trustee. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Collateral Trustee with such information as it may request in order for the Collateral Trustee to satisfy the requirements of the U.S.A.
