The Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within 120 days of the Issue Date, deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent each of the following, in each case, in form and substance as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent and its legal counsel:

(i) with respect to each Mortgaged Property, a fully executed counterpart of a Mortgage, dated the date such property is encumbered to secure the notes, duly executed by the applicable Grantor, together with reasonably satisfactory evidence of the completion (or reasonably satisfactory arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage (and payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith as required by applicable local law) as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected at least second-priority lien (subject to Permitted Real Estate Encumbrances) against such Mortgaged Property purported to be covered thereby;

(b) After the Issue Date, promptly after the acquisition by any Grantor of any Real Property of the type that would constitute Mortgaged Property, if such Real Property shall not already be subject to a perfected at least second priority Lien under the Covered Documents and is required to be encumbered in favor of any First Lien Agent securing the First Priority Lien Obligations, the applicable Grantor shall give notice thereof to the Notes Collateral Agent and thereafter, contemporaneously with the

-14-

encumbrance thereof in favor of any First Lien Agent, shall cause such Real Property to be encumbered by a Mortgage in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall deliver documents of the type described in Section 4.02(a) hereof with respect thereto. Each Grantor agrees that it shall not, after the Issue Date, encumber any Real Property in favor of any First Lien Agent unless it contemporaneously grants a Mortgage on such Real Property in favor of any Notes Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and delivers documents of the type described in Section 4.02(a) hereof.

(c) In the event that any Other Second-Lien Obligations are incurred following the Issue Date pursuant to Section 7.15, the Grantors shall promptly take all such action as may be reasonably required to amend each then existing Mortgage (including, without limitation payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith as required by applicable local law) in order to cause such Other Second-Lien Obligations to be secured equally and ratably with the then-existing Secured Obligations, and deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent such other documents (including, without limitation, legal opinions) as the Notes Collateral Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Notes Collateral Agent.

Each Grantor has good and marketable title, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in all Mortgaged Properties, subject solely to Permitted Real Estate Encumbrances and except where the failure to have such title or interest would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets or financial condition of the Grantors, taken as a whole, or a material impairment of the validity or enforceability of, or a material impairment of the material rights, remedies or benefits available to the Secured Parties under any Notes Document

(i) Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Notes Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Notes Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of its Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Notes Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Notes Collateral Agent reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 4.03(i), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Notes Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

(i) if any Investment Property, whether certificated or uncertificated (other than uncertificated securities described in clause (ii) below), having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $10,000,000 now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor is held by such Grantor, such Grantor shall notify the Notes Collateral Agent in writing thereof and either, at such Grantor’s discretion, (A) cause such Investment Property (if it is a Certificated Security) to be endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Priority Designated Agent as bailee for the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank, (B) cause such security or Investment Property to be held in a securities account that is then subject to a Control Agreement, (C) cause any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, as applicable, then holding such Investment Property to agree pursuant to a Control Agreement, in the case of a securities intermediary, to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Lien Agent party to such Control Agreement) to such securities intermediary as to such securities or other Investment Property or, in the case of a commodity intermediary, to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Lien Agent party to such Control Agreements) to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (D) arrange for the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Priority Designated Agent as bailee for the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property (if it is held through a securities intermediary), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, with such Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Notes Collateral Agent (or, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the First Priority Designated Agent as bailee for the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement), to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property; and

(ii) if any security having a fair market value in excess of $10,000,000 and now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor is uncertificated and is issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent in writing of such uncertificated securities and upon the Notes Collateral Agent’s request following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, cause, or with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use best efforts to cause either (i) the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Notes Collateral Agent as to such security, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) the issuer to register the Notes Collateral Agent as the registered owner of such security.

The Notes Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Notes Collateral Agent shall not give any entitlement orders, instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary described above, as applicable, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, as

-20-

applicable, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or, after giving effect to any such withdrawal or dealing rights, would occur; provided that the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall not apply to any Financial Assets (as defined in the UCC) credited to a securities account for which the Notes Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $10,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Notes Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and grant to the Notes Collateral Agent in 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 Notes Collateral Agent.

(e) Each Grantor agrees that, in the event any Grantor, pursuant to any Senior Lender Document, takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of any First Lien Agent in any assets (other than any asset constituting First Lien Separate Collateral, as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), such Grantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without request of the Notes Collateral Agent, including with respect to any property and real property in which any First Lien Agent directs a Grantor to grant or perfect a Lien or take such other action under any Senior Lender Document.

SECTION 4.06. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.

(a) Each Grantor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or knowingly omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may become prematurely invalidated or dedicated to the public.

(b) Each Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, for each material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark consistent with the quality of such products and services as of the date hereof, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of federal or foreign registration or claim of trademark or service xxxx as required under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such Trademark in violation of any third-party rights.

(c) Each Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to, for each work covered by a material Copyright necessary to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use copyright notice as required under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Grantor shall notify (in writing) the Notes Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public other than by expiration, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding office actions and similar determinations in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.

(e) Each Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Notes Collateral Agent on a semi-annual basis of each application by itself, or through any

-21-

agent, employee, licensee or designee, for any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country filed during the preceding six-month period, and (ii) prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, as any First Lien Agent may reasonably request under any Senior Lender Document and within the timing required by any First Lien Agent and upon and after the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, promptly upon the request of the Notes Collateral Agent, execute and deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent and record with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and United States Copyright Office any and all such agreements, instruments, documents and papers to evidence the Notes Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright; provided for the avoidance of doubt, that all such Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute Collateral herewith.

(f) Each Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with its practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any comparable office or agency in any other country (A) with respect to maintaining and pursuing each material application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business and (B) to maintain (i) each issued Patent and (ii) the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright in each case that is material to the normal conduct of such Grantor’s business, including, when applicable and necessary in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Grantor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(g) In the event that any Grantor knows that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal conduct of its business has been or is about to be materially infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall, if such Grantor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly contact such third party, and if necessary in its reasonable business judgment, xxx and recover damages, or take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

(h) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from the licensor under each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to (in the Notes Collateral Agent’s sole discretion) the designee of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE V

Remedies

SECTION 5.01. Remedies Upon Default. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of its Collateral to the Notes Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Notes Collateral Agent (provided, however, that with respect to Trademarks such assignment shall only be effective if such Trademarks are accompanied by the

-22-

goodwill symbolized by such Trademarks) or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Notes Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained) and (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Notes Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be authorized in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.01 the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 Business Days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Notes Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Notes Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Notes Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Notes Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Notes Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 5.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to

-23-

the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Notes Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Notes Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Notes Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

SECTION 5.02. Application of Proceeds. (a) The Notes Collateral Agent shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral or Mortgaged Properties, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs, fees and expenses owing to (a) the Notes Collateral Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, (b) the Trustee in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and (c) any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent in its capacity as such in accordance with the terms of such Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of the Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) If, despite the provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document, any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Secured Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Agreement or any other Security Document, such Secured Party shall hold such payment or other recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties hereunder for distribution in accordance with this Section 5.02.

(c) Upon any sale of Collateral or the Mortgaged Property by the Notes Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Notes Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Notes Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing and the pari passu nature of all the Notes Obligations, on the one hand, and the Other Second-Lien Obligations, on the other hand, in the event that (i) any of the Other Second-Lien Obligations are unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations, (ii) any of the Other Second-Lien Obligations do not have an enforceable security interest in

-24-

any of the Collateral and/or (iii) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than other Secured Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such Other Second-Lien Obligations but junior to the security interest of the Notes Obligations (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any Other Second-Lien Obligations, an “Impairment” of such Other Second-Lien Obligations), the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations, and the rights of the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such Other Second-Lien Obligations) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of such Other Second-Lien Obligations subject to such Impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral or the Mortgaged Property for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of the holders of the Notes Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Secured Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Collateral or the Mortgaged Property or proceeds that are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Secured Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(e) In making the determinations and allocations required by this Section 5.02, the Notes Collateral Agent may conclusively rely upon information supplied by the Trustee or Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent as to amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on such information, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Trustee or any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent of any amounts distributed to it.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Covered Document to the contrary, the Notes Collateral Agent shall, to the extent permitted by the applicable Security Document, exercise remedies and sell the Collateral or the Mortgaged Property at the direction of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of all Secured Obligations outstanding at the time of such action; provided that if the Notes Collateral Agent has asked the holders of Secured Obligations for instructions and the applicable holders have not yet responded to such request, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be authorized (but shall not have the duty) to take such actions which the Notes Collateral Agent believes to be required to promote and protect the interests of the holders of the Secured Obligations and/or to preserve the value of the Collateral. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take any such direction or honor a request unless the Notes Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

SECTION 5.03. Grant of License To Use Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of enabling the Notes Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, to exercise rights and remedies under Article V of this Agreement at such time as the Notes Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled, and to the extent necessary, to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to (in the Notes Collateral Agent’s sole discretion) a designee of the Notes Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property (excluding Trademarks) now owned or hereafter acquired by

-25-

such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Notes Collateral Agent (or its designee) may be exercised, at the option of the Notes Collateral Agent and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Notes Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

SECTION 5.04. Securities Act, etc.. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar federal statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Notes Collateral Agent if the Notes Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Notes Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Notes Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Notes Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Notes Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Notes Collateral Agent sells.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

SECTION 6.01. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03 hereof), the Issuer agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Security Document in respect of any Secured Obligation of the Issuer, the Issuer shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part a Secured Obligation of the Issuer, the Issuer shall indemnify such

-26-

Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

SECTION 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees (subject to Section 6.03 hereof) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Secured Obligation or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation owed to any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Issuer as provided in Section 6.01 above, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as applicable, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of such Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 7.13, the date of the supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 6.01 hereof to the extent of such payment.

SECTION 6.03. Subordination.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation of the Grantors under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. No failure on the part of the Issuer or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that all Indebtedness and other monetary obligations owed by it to any other Guarantor or any Subsidiary shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE VII

SECTION 7.02. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Notes Document, any Other Second-Lien Obligations Documents, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or

-27-

in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Notes Document, any Other Second-Lien Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become binding when a counterpart hereof shall have been executed by the Issuer, the Guarantors and the Notes Collateral Agent and when the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received copies thereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any party without the approval of any other party and without affecting the obligations of any other party hereunder.

SECTION 7.04. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and registered assigns, except that no party shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by the Indenture.

SECTION 7.05. Notes Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 11.07 of the Indenture and the applicable provisions of any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement, in each case.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Covered Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Indemnitees against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, litigation, investigations or proceedings and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted or brought against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Covered Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto and thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, litigation, investigations or proceedings or related expenses result primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (any such Indemnitee and its Related Parties treated, for this purpose only, as a single Indemnitee).

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreements contained herein, the provisions of this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of the principal and interest under the Indenture and any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement, the

All amounts due under this Section 7.05 shall be payable on written demand therefor. This Section 7.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Notes Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.06. Notes Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the Notes Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Notes Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof or thereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Notes Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Notes Collateral Agent; and (i) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or any other Security Document, as fully and completely as though the Notes Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Notes Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Notes Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Notes Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor 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.

SECTION 7.07. Applicable Law. The terms of Section 13.03 of the Indenture are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

SECTION 7.08. Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by the Notes Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any Covered Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Notes Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Covered Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other

-29-

Covered Document or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle such Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each party hereto subject to any consents required in accordance with Article 8 of the Indenture and corresponding provisions of each Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement.

SECTION 7.09. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Covered Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 7.03 hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 7.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 7.12. Termination or Release.

(a) The Liens securing the Notes Obligations will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

(b) The Liens securing Other Second-Lien Obligations of any series will be released, in whole or in part, as provided in the Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement governing such obligations.

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7.12, the Notes Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s request and expense, all documents, including without limitation any UCC termination statement, mortgage release or other document, that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release subject to the Notes Collateral Agent’s receipt of a certification by the Issuer stating that such transaction, sale or other transfer, as applicable, and the related release are permitted under the terms of the Indenture or such Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement, as the case may be. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Notes Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.13. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by the Notes Collateral Agent and any Wholly Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Issuer that is required to become a party hereto by Section 4.13 of the Indenture or corresponding provisions of any Other Second-Lien

-30-

Obligations Agreement of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement.

SECTION 7.14. Right of Set-off. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any party to this Agreement against any of and all the obligations of such party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Secured Party irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 7.14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Secured Party may have.

SECTION 7.15. Conflicts; Intercreditor Agreement. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Notes Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to the First Lien Agents pursuant to the applicable Senior Lender Documents and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Notes Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims, the requirements of this Agreement to deliver Collateral and any certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the Notes Collateral Agent or to grant control (within the meaning of the UCC) shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents, or the granting of such control, in relation thereto the First Priority Designated Agent (as bailee for the Notes Collateral Agent) as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and any other Secured Party, that any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, unless an Event of Default exists following the Discharge of Senior Lender Claims as contemplated by Section 12.02(a) of the Indenture, the Grantors shall not be required to (i) grant, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not acquire or hold, any Lien on any asset of the Issuer or any Grantor securing any Secured Obligations that is not also subject to a first-priority Lien in respect of the First Priority Lien Obligations under the Senior Lender Documents, (ii) act or refrain from acting pursuant to the Security Documents or with respect to any Collateral on which any First Lien Agent has a Lien superior in priority to the Notes Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon in any manner that would result in a default under the terms and provisions of the Senior Lender Documents, or (iii) other than as provided in Section 4.02 or Section 4.04(a) or to the extent such action is required to be taken by a Grantor pursuant to any Security Document or Covered Document without the request of the Notes Collateral Agent, but subject to Section 5.3(b) of the Intercreditor Agreement, take any action or refrain from taking any action with respect to the maintenance or perfection of the Collateral, unless the Grantors are required to take a comparable action, or refrain from taking a comparable action, under comparable provisions of Senior Lender Documents.

-31-

SECTION 7.16. Other Second-Lien Obligations. On or after the Issue Date, the Issuer may from time to time designate additional obligations as Other Second-Lien Obligations by delivering to the Notes Collateral Agent, the Trustee and each Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent (a) a certificate signed by an executive officer of the Issuer (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as “Other Second-Lien Obligations” for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation complies with the terms of the Indenture and each then extant Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement and (iii) specifying the name and address of the Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent for such obligations (if other than the Trustee); and (b) except in the case of Additional Notes, a fully executed Other Second-Lien Obligations Joinder Agreement (in the form attached as Exhibit IV). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no responsibility for, or any duty to inquire as to, any matter pertaining to such Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement (or the contents thereof) or the compliance of any Grantor or Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent with the terms thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is required to take action hereunder and such action is conditioned upon compliance with the terms of any Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to request, and be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate of the relevant Grantor and/or the applicable Other Second-Lien Obligations Agent that such action is permitted or authorized under the terms of such Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement. To the extent such Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreement grants any rights, protections, immunities or indemnities thereunder to the Notes Collateral Agent, the Issuer and each other Grantor agree that the Notes Collateral Agent is an express third-party beneficiary thereunder.

SECTION 7.17. Delivery to Notes Collateral Agent Generally; Commercially Reasonable Efforts. To the extent any information, agreement, certificates or other document to be delivered or provided to the Notes Collateral Agent under this Agreement has to be satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent, any information, agreement, certificates or other document substantially similar in form and substance to any corresponding information, agreement, certificates or other document delivered to the First Priority Designated Agent shall be deemed to be reasonably satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any request hereunder without the instructions of the holders of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Indenture and any applicable Other Second-Lien Obligations Agreements. To the extent any Security Document requires the Issuer or any other Grantor to use commercially reasonable efforts, whether the Issuer or such other Grantor has in fact used commercially reasonable efforts will be determined solely by the Issuer (not the Notes Collateral Agent) and shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, upon which the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent may conclusively rely.

SECTION 7.18. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Notes Collateral Agent, 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. The parties to this Agreement agree that they will provide the Notes Collateral Agent with such information as it may request in order to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.
