TERM FACILITY SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of January 31, 2008 (this “Agreement”), made by
XXXX HOLDING CORPORATION (the “Borrower”), the other Persons listed on the signature pages hereof
and the Additional Grantors (as defined in Section 24) (the Borrower, the Persons so listed and the
Additional Grantors being, collectively, the “Grantors”), to CITICORP USA, INC., as collateral
agent (in such capacity, together with any successor collateral agent appointed pursuant to Article
VII of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured
Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.
1. The Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have entered into a
Term Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2008 (said agreement, as it may
hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
being the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders and the Agents (each as defined therein).
2. Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of issued and outstanding stock or other Equity
Interests (the “Initial Pledged Equity”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise
described in Part I of Schedule I hereto and issued by the Persons named therein.
3. Each Grantor is the creditor with respect to the indebtedness (the “Initial Pledged Debt”)
owed to such Grantor set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part
II of Schedule I hereto and issued by the obligors named therein
4. Each Grantor is the owner of the deposit accounts (together with any deposit accounts as to
which such Grantor has complied with the requirements of Section 5(a), the “Pledged Deposit
Accounts”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II hereto; provided that the term
“Pledged Deposit Accounts” shall not include the Excluded Accounts.
5. Each Grantor is the owner of the securities accounts (the “Securities Accounts”) set forth
opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II hereto.
6. Each Grantor is the beneficiary under certain letters of credit as described opposite such
Grantor’s name on Schedule VIII hereto.
7. It is a condition precedent to the making of Advances by the Lender Parties under the

time that the Grantors shall have granted the security interest and made the pledge and assignment
contemplated by this Agreement.
8. Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.
9. Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used
in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, unless otherwise defined in this

Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of New York; provided that, if
perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of the security interest
in any Collateral is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other
than the State
2
of New York, “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other
jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof relating to such perfection, effect of
perfection or non-perfection or priority. In addition, this Agreement and the terms used herein

earned by performance, and all rights now or hereafter existing in and to all supporting
obligations and in and to all security agreements, mortgages, Liens, leases, letters of
credit and other contracts securing or otherwise relating to the foregoing property (any and
all of such accounts, chattel paper, instruments, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights,
general intangibles and other obligations, to the extent not referred to in clauses (d), (e)
or (f) below, being the “Receivables,” and any and all such supporting obligations, security
agreements, mortgages, Liens, leases, letters of credit and other contracts being the

in respect of or in exchange for any or all such shares or other Equity Interests
and all warrants, rights or options issued thereon or with respect thereto; provided
that, notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to pledge any Equity
Interests in (A) any Foreign Subsidiary that is a “controlled foreign corporation”
within the meaning of Code section 957(a) or (B) any domestic Subsidiary the sole
assets of which consist of the Equity Interest of any Foreign Subsidiary that is a
“controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Code section 957(a) (together
hereinafter, a “Controlled Foreign Corporation”) (or any Equity Interests in any
entity that is treated as a partnership or a disregarded entity for United States
federal income tax purposes and whose assets are substantially only Equity Interests
in Foreign Subsidiaries that are Controlled Foreign Corporations (a “Flow-Through
Entity”)) owned or otherwise held by such Grantor which, when aggregated with all of
the other Equity Interests in such Controlled Foreign Corporation (or Flow-Through
Entity) pledged by any Grantor, would result (or would be deemed to result for
United States federal income tax purposes) in more than 65% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in a Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity
Interests in a Flow-Through Entity entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2) promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code) (the
“Voting Foreign Stock”) being pledged to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the
Secured Parties, under this Agreement (although all of the shares of stock in a
Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity Interests in a Flow-Through Entity not
entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2)
promulgated under the Internal Revenue Code) (the “Non-Voting Foreign Stock”) shall
be pledged by each of the Grantors that owns or otherwise holds any such Non-Voting
Foreign Stock therein) (any Equity Interests excluded pursuant to this proviso shall
be referred to herein as the “Excluded Equity Interests”); provided further that,
if, as a result of any change in the tax laws of the United States of America after
the date of this Agreement, the pledge by such Grantor of any additional shares of
stock in any such Controlled Foreign Corporation or Equity Interests in a
Flow-Through Entity to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
under this Agreement would not result in an increase in the aggregate net
consolidated tax liabilities or in the reduction of any loss carryforward, tax basis
or other tax attribute, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, then, promptly after
the change in such laws, all such additional shares of stock shall be so pledged
under this Agreement;

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement

Excluded Subsidiary, (iv) leases (subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in the

and (vii) any Collateral as to which the Administrative Agent determines, in its reasonable
discretion at the request of the Borrower, that the costs of obtaining such a security interest,
pledge or assignment are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby.
Section 2. Security for Obligations.
(a) This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the payment of all Obligations
of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, the Secured Hedge
Agreements and the Cash Management Obligations, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, fees, premiums,
penalties, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (all
such Obligations being the “Secured Obligations”). Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that
constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured
Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable
due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan
Party.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest
granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to
this Agreement, and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder, are subject to the provisions of that certain
Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 31, 2008 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) among
Citicorp USA, Inc., as Term Facility Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor
Agreement), Citicorp USA, Inc., as Term Facility Administrative Agent (as defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement), Citicorp USA, Inc., as Revolving Facility Collateral Agent and as
Revolving Facility Administrative Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the
Borrower and such other parties as may be added thereto from time to time in accordance with
the terms thereof and as the Intercreditor Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified
from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. As between (i) the lender parties
under that certain Revolving Facility Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of January
, 2008, among the Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, and
Citicorp USA, Inc., as administrative agent, and (ii) the Lender Parties under the Credit
Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
7
Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and
control.
Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
(a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the
same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of
any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations
under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have
any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform
any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or
enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. Subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement:
(a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral (if
certificated) shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent
pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be
accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent; provided that no Grantor shall be
required to deliver an instrument representing Pledged Debt if the principal amount of such
Pledged Debt is less than $1,000,000. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange certificates or
instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments
of smaller or larger denominations.
(b) With respect to any Security Collateral that constitutes an uncertificated security
that is at any time subject to Article 8 of the UCC and is not held in a Securities Account,
the relevant Grantor will cause, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each issuer
thereof that is a Subsidiary of such Grantor to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent
an acknowledgment of the pledge of such Security Collateral in a form and substance that is
reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent (such agreement being an
“Uncertificated Security Control Agreement”).
(c) With respect to (i) the Securities Accounts and (ii) any Security Collateral that
constitutes a security entitlement as to which the financial institution acting as
Collateral Agent hereunder is not the securities intermediary, the relevant Grantor will
cause the securities intermediary with respect to each such account or security entitlement
either (A) to identify in its records the Collateral Agent as the entitlement holder thereof
or (B) to agree with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent that such securities intermediary
will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Collateral Agent without further
consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Borrower and Collateral Agent (a “Securities Account Control Agreement”); provided,
however, that the Collateral Agent will (i) not give any such orders except after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (ii) upon cure (but not a
partial cure) or waiver of any previously continuing Event of Default, the Collateral Agent
shall take such action, at the expense of such Grantor, as shall be reasonably necessary to
reconvey to such Grantor the right to give entitlement orders and instructions or directions
to any issuer of uncertificated securities or securities intermediary.
(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will notify each issuer of Securities
Collateral
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
8
(other than any other Loan Party) in which a security interest has been granted by it
hereunder that such Securities Collateral is subject to the security interest granted
hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4, so long as the Revolving
Facility Collateral Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) is acting as bailee
and as agent for perfection on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement, any obligation of any Grantor in this Agreement that requires
delivery of Collateral to, or the possession of Collateral with, the Collateral Agent shall
be deemed complied with and satisfied in the event that such delivery of Collateral has been
made to, or such possession of Collateral is with, the Revolving Facility Collateral Agent
(as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Secured Obligations
shall remain outstanding or any Lender shall have any Commitment, subject to the terms and
provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement:
(a) Each Grantor will maintain Pledge Deposit Accounts only with the financial
institution acting as Collateral Agent hereunder or with a bank (a “Pledged Account Bank”)
that has agreed with such Grantor and the Collateral Agent to comply with instructions
originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in such deposit
account without the further consent of such Grantor, such agreement to be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and Collateral Agent (each, a “Deposit
Account Control Agreement”); provided, however, that this Section 5(a) shall not apply to an
Excluded Account or where the Collateral Agent is the bank. So long as an Event of Default
has not occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that (i) it shall not issue
any instructions to any Pledged Account Bank or withhold any withdrawal rights from such
Grantor with respect to funds from time to time credited to any deposit account and (ii)
upon cure (but not a partial cure) or waiver of any previously continuing Event of Default,
the Collateral Agent shall thereafter take such action, at the expense of such Grantor, as
shall be reasonably necessary to reconvey to such Grantor the right to give instructions
directing the disposition of funds credited to any such deposit account.
Section 6. Release of Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing , the Grantors shall have the sole and exclusive right to direct the applicable
Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the applicable Grantor or at its order or, at the
request of such Grantor, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the
Grantors under the Loan Documents, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the Pledged
Deposit Accounts.
Section 7. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor represents and warrants as
follows:
(a) As of the Closing Date, such Grantor’s exact legal name, chief executive office,
type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and organizational identification number
is as set forth in Schedule V hereto. Such Grantor has no trade names as of the Closing
Date other than as listed on Schedule III hereto. Within the five years preceding the
Closing Date, such Grantor has not changed its name, chief executive office, type of
organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number from
those set forth in Schedule V hereto except as set forth in Schedule VI hereto.
(b) Such Grantor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral granted or
purported to be granted by it free and clear of any Lien, claim, option or right of others,
except for (x) Permitted Liens and (y) the security interest created under this Agreement or
as permitted
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
9
under the Credit Agreement. To the best of such Grantor’s knowledge, no valid or
effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part
of such
Collateral or listing such Grantor or any trade name of such Grantor as debtor is on
file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Collateral
Agent relating to the Loan Documents or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.
(c) All of the Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor are located at the places
specified therefor in Schedule VII hereto or at another location as to which such Grantor
has complied with the requirements of Section 9(a). Such Grantor has exclusive possession
and control of its Equipment and Inventory, other than Inventory stored at any leased
premises or warehouse.
(d) None of the Receivables is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument that
has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent.
(e) If such Grantor is an issuer of Security Collateral, such Grantor confirms that it
has received notice of the security interest granted hereunder to the extent required under
this Agreement.
(f) The Pledged Equity of any Subsidiary which has been pledged by such Grantor
hereunder has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and non assessable.
The Pledged Debt pledged by such Grantor hereunder which has been issued by a Loan Party has
been duly authorized, authenticated or issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the issuers thereof, and if in an amount in excess of $1,000,000, is evidenced
by one or more promissory notes (which promissory notes have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent) and as of the Closing Date is not in default.
(g) The Initial Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor constitutes the percentage of
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule I

cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those

otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action
that may be necessary, or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to

enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of such Grantor.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will promptly with respect to
Collateral of such Grantor: (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, and upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, xxxx conspicuously each
document included in Inventory, each chattel paper included in Receivables, each Related

pertaining to such Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent, indicating that such document, chattel paper, Related Contract or
Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any such Collateral
shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument or chattel paper, deliver and
pledge to the Collateral Agent hereunder such note or instrument or chattel paper duly

and file, or authorize the Collateral Agent to file, such financing or continuation

the Secured Parties certificates representing Pledged Collateral that constitutes
certificated securities, accompanied by undated stock or bond powers executed in blank; (v)

13
to perfect and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted by such
Grantor under this Agreement have been taken.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more UCC
financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including, without
limitation, one or more financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover
all assets or all personal property (or words of similar effect) of such Grantor, regardless
of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within the
scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other
reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted
by law.
(c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and
schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Grantor and such other
reports in connection with such Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request,
all in reasonable detail.
Section 9. As to Equipment and Inventory.
(a) Each Grantor will keep its Equipment and Inventory (other than Inventory sold in the
ordinary course of business or is obsolete, slow-moving, non-conforming or unmerchantable or is
identified as a write-off, overstock or excess by such Grantor or does not otherwise conform to the
representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral) at
the places therefor specified in Section 7(c) or, in the case of Equipment or Inventory with an
aggregate value in excess of $1,000,000, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral
Agent, at such other places designated by such Grantor in such notice.
(b) Each Grantor will cause its Equipment to be maintained and preserved, and cause each of
its Subsidiaries to maintain and preserve, in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and
tear excepted, except to the extent the failure to do so could reasonably be expected not to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(c) In producing its Inventory, each Grantor will comply with all requirements of applicable
law, including, without limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act and similar laws affecting such
Grantor, except where failure to so comply would not be reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
Section 10. Insurance.
(a) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to its
Equipment and Inventory in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement. Each
policy of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on
behalf of the Collateral Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear. Each such
policy shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Collateral Agent as additional
insured parties or loss payees thereunder, as the case may be, (without any representation
or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii)
contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the
Collateral Agent as their interest may appear under the additional insured or loss payee
provision as the case may be notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of
representation or warranty by such Grantor, (iii) provided that there shall be no recourse
against the Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto
and (iv) endeavor to provide that at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or
of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer otherwise, Grantor
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
14
shall provide such notices. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
each Grantor will, at the request of the Collateral Agent, duly execute and deliver
instruments of assignment of such insurance policies to comply with the requirements of
Section 9 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.
(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to
this Section 10 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred liability covered
by such insurance.
(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance
payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction
of any Inventory or Equipment will be released by the Collateral Agent to the applicable
Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all
insurance payments in respect of such Equipment or Inventory shall be paid to the Collateral
Agent and shall, in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, (i) be released to the
applicable Grantor or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as
specified in Section 20(b).
Section 11. Post-Closing Changes; Collections on Receivables and Related Contracts.
(a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of
organization, organizational identification number or chief executive office from those set
forth in Section 7(a) of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written
notice to the Collateral Agent (or such shorter period of time as agreed to by the
Collateral Agent) and each Grantor will take all action reasonably required by the
Collateral Agent in connection therewith for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the
security interest granted by this Agreement.
(b) Each Grantor, at the Collateral Agent’s direction upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, will take such action as such Grantor or the
Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the
Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor; provided, however, that the Collateral
Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to
notify each Person obligated at any time to make payments to such Grantor for any reason (an
“Obligor”) under any Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Receivables
and Related Contracts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of
all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent
and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any
such Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or
payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done,
and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Receivables and Related Contracts,
including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After
receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to
the preceding sentence upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (i) all amounts and proceeds (including,
without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables and
Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be deemed to be received in trust for the benefit of
the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and
shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in a Pledged Deposit Account to be designated by
Collateral Agent and either (A) released to such Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 6
if such Event of Default has been cured or waived or (B) if any Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 20(b) and (ii) such Grantor will
not adjust, settle or
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
15
compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Related
Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount
thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment
under any of the Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations
of the Obligor thereof.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right to make test verification of the
Receivables (other than Receivables that any Loan Party is required to maintain as
“classified”) in any manner and through any medium that it considers advisable in its
reasonable discretion, and each Grantor agrees to furnish all such assistance and
information as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith.
Section 12. As to Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a) With respect to each item of Intellectual Property Collateral and until termination
of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Grantor agrees to take, at its
expense, all necessary steps in accordance with the exercise of such Grantor’s commercially
reasonable business judgment in such Grantor’s ordinary course of business, including,
without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and
any other applicable governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability
of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral
in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent,
trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such
Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment
of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities,
the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections
8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation,
continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of
maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition,
cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings, as applicable. No Grantor
shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, abandon any Intellectual
Property Collateral that is material to the use and operations of the Collateral or to the
business, results of operations, or financial condition of such Grantor (each such
Intellectual Property Collateral a “Material Intellectual Property Collateral”), discontinue
use of any Trademark included in the Material Intellectual Property Collateral or abandon
any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright unless such Grantor
shall have previously determined, in its reasonable business judgment, that such use or the
pursuit or maintenance of such Material Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer
desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof, either
individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such abandonment to the
Collateral Agent.
(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if such Grantor becomes
aware (i) that any item of the Material Intellectual Property Collateral has become
abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable (other than as a result of
the expiration of the statutory term for such Material Intellectual Property Collateral), or
of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any of the
Material Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same or to keep and
maintain and enforce the same to the extent the happening of such an event would reasonably
be expected to materially and adversely affect the value or utility of the Intellectual
Property Collateral, or (ii) of any adverse determination (including, without limitation,
the institution of any proceeding in the
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
16
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Material
Intellectual Property Collateral.
(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall
promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take commercially reasonable actions (unless
failure to take such actions would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect), at its expense, to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral,
including, without limitation, as Grantor or the Collateral Agent deems necessary or
desirable in its reasonable business discretion, suing for infringement or misappropriation
and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.
(d) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions to use proper statutory
notice in connection with its use of each item of Material Intellectual Property Collateral
owned by such Grantor as reasonably necessary to maintain such Grantor’s rights therein. No
Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its
Material Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or
placed in the public domain.
(e) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable actions which it or the Collateral
Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each
item of its Material Intellectual Property Collateral, consistent in all material respects
with the quality of the products or services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps
reasonably necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such
consistent standards of quality.
(f) With respect to the Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to
execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in
Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower and Collateral Agent (an “Intellectual Property Term Facility Security Agreement”),
for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such
Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security
interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.
(g) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership interest in or license to
any item of the type set forth in Section 1(f) that is not on the Closing Date a part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral, but otherwise would be part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral if such Grantor had an ownership interest in or license to such item on the
Closing Date (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement
shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property
and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become
part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement with respect thereto (provided that no security interest shall be granted in
United States intent-to-use trademark applications to the extent that, and solely during the
period in which, the grant of a security interest therein would impair the validity or
enforceability, or result in the cancellation, of such intent-to-use trademark applications
under applicable federal law). Each Grantor shall give written notice to the Collateral
Agent identifying any patents, patent applications, trademark and service xxxx
registrations, trademark and service xxxx applications, copyright registrations, and
copyright applications that are part of the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and, such
Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or
otherwise authenticate, an
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
17
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto or otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to and requested by the Collateral Agent (an “IP
Term Facility Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual
Property for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be
recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other
governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property, to the extent perfection may be achieved by making
such recordings. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each Grantor shall have no
obligation to file any such instruments or statements for such After-Acquired Intellectual
Property outside of the United States under this Section 13(g).
Section 13. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other
consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part
thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, consent
given or right exercised or other action taken by such Grantor which would impair
the Pledged Collateral or which would be inconsistent in any material respect with
or result in any violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or, without prior notice to the Collateral Agent, to enable or take any
other action to permit any issuer of Pledged Equity 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 of Pledged Equity other than issuances, transfers and
grants to a Grantor .
(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, cash, options, warrants, rights, instruments, distributions, returns of
capital or principal, income, interest, profits and other property, interests (debt
or equity) or proceeds, including as a result of a split, revision, reclassification
or other like change of the Security Collateral, from time to time received,
receivable or otherwise distributed to such Grantor in respect of or in exchange for
any or all of the Security Collateral (any of the foregoing, a “Distribution” and
collectively the “Distributions”) paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such
Grantor to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the
terms of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that any and all Distributions paid
or payable other than in cash (other than in connection with a partial or total
liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital
surplus or paid-in-surplus) in respect of, and instruments and other property
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any
Security Collateral, shall, except to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, be,
and, subject to the limitations in the definition of “Collateral” shall be promptly
delivered to the Collateral Agent to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if
received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be
promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form
as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) The Collateral Agent shall be deemed without further action or formality
to have granted to each Grantor all necessary consents relating to voting rights and
shall, if necessary, upon written request of any Grantor, from time to time execute
and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to such Grantor all such
instruments as such
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
18
Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to
exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to
paragraph (i) above and to receive the Distributions that it is authorized to
receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) All rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the
voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise
pursuant to Section 13(a)(i) shall, upon written notice to such Grantor by the
Collateral Agent, cease and (y) to receive Distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii) shall automatically
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent,
which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising
such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security
Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.
(ii) All Distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the
provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 13(b) shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such
Grantor and shall be promptly paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security
Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(iii) Promptly following the cure (but not a partial cure) or waiver of such
Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall return to each Grantor all cash and
funds that the Collateral Agent has received pursuant to subsection (ii) of this
clause (b) and that such Grantor is entitled to retain pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii)
if such cash or funds have not been applied to repayment of the Secured Obligations.
(c) Each Grantor shall not grant control over any investment property to any Person
other than the Collateral Agent, except to the extent permitted pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 14. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights.
(a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Receivables consisting of
letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Agent, intends to (and hereby does) assign to the
Collateral Agent its rights (including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all Related
Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or
assignee. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will
promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit with a
face amount in excess of $1,000,000 and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to
consent to such Grantor’s assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and deliver written evidence of such
consent to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will,
promptly upon written request by the Collateral Agent, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby
authorizes the Collateral Agent to notify) the issuer and each nominated person with respect to
each of the Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit that the proceeds thereof have been
assigned to the Collateral Agent hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof

Collateral Agent of any commercial tort claim that may arise after the Closing Date involving a
claim or controversy in excess of $1,000,000 and will immediately execute or otherwise
authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all action reasonably necessary to
subject such commercial tort claim to the security interest created under this Agreement.
Section 16. Transfer and Other Liens; Additional Shares. Each Grantor agrees that it
will (a) cause each issuer which is a Loan Party of the Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor not
to issue any Equity Interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged
Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor or except as permitted by the Credit
Agreement, and (b) pledge hereunder, immediately upon its acquisition (directly or indirectly)
thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other securities except to the extent
constituting Excluded Equity Interests.
Section 17. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact (such appointment to
cease upon the payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations), with full authority in the
place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s
reasonable discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Agent
may deem necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:
(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant
to Section 10,
(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral,
(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the

to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of the rights of the Collateral Agent
with respect to any of the Collateral.
Section 18. Collateral Agent May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, if any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein,
the Collateral Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform,
or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 20.
Section 19. The Collateral Agent’s Duties.
(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the safe custody of
any Collateral in its possession or in the possession of an Affiliate of the Collateral
Agent or any designee (including without limitation, a Subagent) of the Collateral Agent
acting on its behalf and the accounting for moneys actually received by it or its Affiliates
hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining
or taking action with respect to calls,
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
20
conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such
matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties
or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent and any of its
Affiliates or any designee (including without limitation, a Subagent) on its behalf shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral
in its possession or in the possession of an Affiliate or any designee (including without
limitation, a Subagent) on its behalf if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which it accords its own property.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may
from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more
subagents (each, a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the
security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for
purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the
Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the
Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in
addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and pursuant to the terms hereof, with respect to
such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any
rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to
such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall
be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to
the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.
Section 20. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies
to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and
make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the
Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except
as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public
or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit
or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem
commercially reasonable; (iii) to the extent permitted under such Grantor’s lease, occupy
any premises where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a
reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law,
without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and
all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral,
or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all
rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other
Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to
the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the
Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation,
those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice
of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any
Xxxx — Term Facility Security Agreement
21
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral
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.
(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds
received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from,
or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the
Collateral Agent, be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any
time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to Section 20) in whole or in part by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, in the following manner:
(i) first, paid ratably to each Agent for any amounts then owing to
such Agent pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the
Loan Documents; and
(ii) second, ratably paid to the Lenders for any amounts then owing to
them, in their capacities as such, in respect of the Obligations under the Term
Facility ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to such
Lenders, (2) paid to each Lender Party (or its applicable Affiliate) for any amounts
then owing to such Lender Party (or such Affiliate) in respect of Secured Credit
Card Obligations in an aggregate amount for all such obligations not to exceed
$25,000,000 and (3) paid to each Lender Party (or its applicable Affiliate) for any
amounts then owing to such Lender Party (or such Affiliate) in respect of Secured
Hedge Agreements in an aggregate amount for all such obligations not to exceed the
sum of $100,000,000 plus the unused amount, if any, under the foregoing clause (2)
and Cash Management Obligations in an aggregate amount for all such obligations not
to exceed the sum of $25,000,000, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be
applied in accordance with the remaining order of priority set out in this Section
20.
(iii) third, ratably to each Lender Party (or its applicable
Affiliate) for any amounts then owing to such Lender Party (or such Affiliate), to
the extent not included in clause (ii) above, in respect of all remaining Cash
Management Obligations, obligations under Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured
Credit Card Obligations.
(c) Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the
Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be
distributed pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(d) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with the Collateral
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the
same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).
(e) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law
and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of
the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in
any other deposit account.
Xxxx—Term Facility Security Agreement

(f) The Collateral Agent may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party
to any Deposit Account Control Agreement, Securities Account Control Agreement or
Uncertificated Security Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as may be defined
in and under such Agreement.
(g) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or
other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral
Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things
relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition,
and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such
Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale
of products and services of such Grantor.
(h) The Collateral Agent is authorized, in connection with any sale of the Security
Collateral pursuant to this Section 20, to deliver or otherwise disclose to any prospective
purchaser of the Security Collateral any information in its possession relating to such
Security Collateral.
Section 21. Maintenance of Records. Each Grantor will keep and maintain, at its own cost and expense, satisfactory and complete
records of the Collateral, in all material respects, including, without limitation, a record of all
payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other material
dealings concerning the Collateral. For the Collateral Agent’s further security, each Grantor
agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have a property interest in all of such Grantor’s books and
records pertaining to the Collateral and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, such Grantor shall deliver and turn over any such books and records to the
Collateral Agent or to its representatives at any time on demand of the Collateral Agent.
Section 22. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor severally agrees (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the
Borrower) to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of
their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors
(each, an “Indemnified Party”), pro rata, from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and
all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded
against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation
or proceedings or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) this Agreement, except
to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct of its affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, advisors or agents. In the case of an investigation, litigation or
other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 22(a) applies, such indemnity shall
be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any
Grantor, its directors, shareholders or creditors or any Indemnified Party or any other
Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not
the Transaction is consummated. The Grantors also agree not to assert any claim against the
Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability,
for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise
relating to the this Agreement.
Xxxx—Term Facility Security Agreement
23
(b) Each Grantor agrees to pay (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower)
within 30 days of demand (i) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification and amendment of, any consent or waiver under, or legal advice
in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and (ii) all reasonable,
documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent in connection with
the enforcement of (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) the
Agreement.
Section 23. Limitations on Liens on Collateral. Each Grantor will not create, permit or suffer to exist, and will defend the Collateral
against and take such other action as is necessary to remove, any Lien on the Collateral except
Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a) of the Credit Agreement and will defend the right, title and
interest of the Collateral Agent in and to all of such Grantor’s rights under the Collateral
against the claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever other than claims or demands arising out
of Liens permitted under Section 5.02(a) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 24. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc.
(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any
departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No
failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no
delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Term Facility Security Agreement
Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and
become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each
reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean
and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference
in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached
to such Security Agreement Supplement.
Section 25. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including

accordance with the Credit Agreement, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties.
Section 26. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a)
remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured
Obligations and (ii) the Termination Date, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and
assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to
the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and permitted
assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), subject to Section 10.07 of
the Credit Agreement, any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its
rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any
portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to
any Eligible Assignee, and such Eligible Assignee shall thereupon become
Xxxx—Term Facility Security Agreement
24
vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case as
provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 27. Release; Termination.
(a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of
any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent will,
at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such
Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the
assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that, except as
permitted under Section 5.02(g) of the Credit Agreement, (i) at the time of such request and
such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor
shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the
date of the proposed release, a written request for release in reasonable detail describing
the item of Collateral, together with a form of release for execution by the Collateral
Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance
with the Loan Documents; (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other
disposition required to be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in
accordance with Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be
paid or made to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the Collateral Agent when and as
required under Section 2.06 of the Credit Agreement, and (iv) in the case of Collateral sold
or disposed of, the release of a Lien created hereby will not be effective until the receipt
by the Collateral Agent of the Net Cash Proceeds arising from the sale or disposition of
such Collateral.

(other than contingent indemnification obligations which are not then due and payable), (ii)
the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the
pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral
shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent
will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, approve, execute, assign, transfer and/or deliver
to such Grantor such documents and instruments (including, but not limited to UCC
termination financing statements or releases) as such Grantor shall reasonably request to
evidence such termination.
Section 28. Certain Provisions in Respect of Mexican Inventory. (a) For purposes of
perfecting the first priority Lien and security interest on any Collateral held from time to time by any
Mexican Depository in connection with the manufacture in Mexico of finished products by such Mexican Depository
(the “Mexican Collateral”), each Grantor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties, as security for the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, the Mexican Collateral in accordance with
paragraph IV of Article 334 of the Mexican General Law of Negotiable Instruments and Credit
Transactions (Ley General de Títulos y Operaciones de Crédito).
(b) Each Grantor and the Collateral Agent hereby appoints each Mexican Depository as
depository of the Mexican Collateral. The parties hereto agree that each Mexican Depository
may from time to time in the ordinary course of business receive and maintain possession of
the Mexican Collateral for the purpose of manufacturing finished products for sale by such
Grantor and shall act as depository for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Secured Parties, with respect to such Mexican Collateral, which shall at all
times remain subject to the first priority Lien and security interest created hereunder.
Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that each Mexican Depository shall hold any and all
Mexican Collateral in its control or possession for the benefit of Collateral Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, and that
Dana—Term Facility Security Agreement
25
each Mexican Depository shall act upon
the instructions of the Collateral Agent without the further consent of such Grantor. The
Collateral Agent agrees with the Grantors that it shall not give any such instructions
unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into
account any action by any Grantor with respect to any Mexican Depository.
(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall
be entitled, without the consent of any Grantor, to remove any Mexican Depository as
depository and appoint a different depository. No Mexican Depository shall be released from
its obligations hereunder, unless a replacement depository has been appointed in accordance
with this Agreement and such replacement depository has assumed the obligations of such
Mexican Depository hereunder, including without limitation, taking physical possession of
the Mexican Collateral and executing the letter referred to in subsection (d) below.
(d) Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall deliver to the
Collateral Agent, a letter from each Mexican Depository or any other entity acting as
depository, acceptable to the Collateral Agent in substantially in the form of Exhibit J
hereto.
For purposes of this Section 28, “Mexican Depository” shall mean each Subsidiary of the
Borrower domiciled in Mexico that is at any time in possession of Inventory owned by any Grantor
and included in the calculation of Eligible Inventory, in each case in its capacity as depository
of the Mexican Collateral, or any successor depository thereof.

the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by
telecopier or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
