necessary to the conduct of such Grantor’s business requires any consent of any other Person in
order for such Grantor to grant the security interest granted hereunder in such Grantor’s right,
title or interest in or to such Intellectual Property License.
(g) (i) Schedule 7 sets forth each promissory note (as defined in the Code)
constituting Collateral and pledged hereunder (each a “Pledged Note”) and (ii) there is no material
default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration existing under any Pledged Note and no event
has occurred or circumstance exists which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or
both, would constitute a material default, breach, violation, or event of acceleration under any
Pledged Note. No Grantor that is an obligee under a Pledged Note has waived any default, breach,
violation, or event of acceleration under such Pledged Note.
(h) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, each Grantor
-12-
hereby represents and warrants that the Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement
(A) are not dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not
constitute investment company securities, and (C) are not held by such Grantor in a securities
account. In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership
Agreements, or any other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide that such Pledged Interests are
securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction.

Agent or, if applicable, endorse and deliver physical possession of such Negotiable Collateral,
Investment Related Property, or Chattel Paper to Agent, together with such undated powers (or other
relevant document of transfer acceptable to Agent) endorsed in blank as shall be reasonably
requested by Agent, and shall do such other acts or things deemed necessary or desirable by Agent
to protect Agent’s Security Interest therein;
(b) Chattel Paper.
(i) Promptly (and in any event, to the extent reasonably practicable, within ten (10) days)

the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction, to the extent that the aggregate value or face amount of such electronic Chattel
Paper equals or exceeds $1,000,000;
(ii) If any Grantor retains possession of any Chattel Paper or instruments (which retention of
possession shall be subject to the extent permitted hereby and by the Credit Agreement), promptly

Deposit Account for such Grantor; and
(ii) each Grantor shall obtain an authenticated Control Agreement, from each issuer of
uncertificated securities, securities intermediary, or commodities intermediary, as applicable,

beneficiary of letters of credit having a face amount or value of $500,000 or more individually or
in the aggregate, then the applicable Grantor or Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within
ten (10) days after becoming a beneficiary), notify Agent thereof and, promptly after request by
Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a tri-party agreement with Agent and the
issuer or confirming bank with respect to letter-of-credit rights assigning such letter-of-credit
rights to Agent and directing all payments thereunder to Agent’s Account, all in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent;
(e) Commercial Tort Claims. If the Grantors (or any of them) obtain any Commercial
Tort Claims having a value, or involving an asserted claim, in the amount of $5,000,000 or more
individually or in the aggregate for all Commercial Tort Claims, then the applicable Grantor or
Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days of obtaining such Commercial Tort
Claim), notify Agent upon incurring or otherwise obtaining such Commercial Tort Claims and,
promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after request by Agent, amend or
supplement Schedule 1 to describe such Commercial Tort Claims in a manner that reasonably
identifies such Commercial Tort Claims and which is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and
hereby authorizes the filing of additional financing statements or amendments to existing financing
statements describing such Commercial Tort Claims, and agrees to do such other acts or things
deemed necessary or desirable by Agent to give Agent a first priority, perfected security interest
in any such Commercial Tort Claim;
(f) Government Contracts. Other than Accounts and Chattel Paper the aggregate value
of which does not at any one time exceed $1,000,000, if any Account or Chattel Paper arises out of
a contract or contracts with the United States of America or any department, agency, or
instrumentality thereof, Grantors shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days of the
creation thereof) notify Agent thereof and, promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) days)
after request by Agent, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, execute any instruments or
take any steps reasonably required by Agent in order that all moneys due or to become due under
such contract or contracts shall be assigned to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the
Bank Product Providers, and shall provide written notice thereof under the Assignment of Claims Act
or other applicable law;

(i) Upon the request of Agent, in order to facilitate filings with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, each Grantor shall execute and deliver
to Agent one or more Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or Patent
Security Agreements to further evidence Agent’s Lien on such Grantor’s Patents, Trademarks, or
Copyrights, and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;
(ii) Except to the extent that a Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that
such steps are not material to, necessary for, economically desirable or prudent in the conduct of
its business, each Grantor shall have the duty, with respect to Intellectual Property owned by such
Grantor that is necessary in the conduct of such Grantor’s business, to protect and diligently
enforce and defend at such Grantor’s expense its Intellectual Property, including (A) to diligently

recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, or dilution, and filing for
opposition, interference, and cancellation against conflicting Intellectual Property rights of any
Person, (B) to prosecute diligently any trademark application or service xxxx application that is

Grantor’s Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses, and its rights therein,
including paying all maintenance fees and filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
and affidavits of noncontestability, and (E) to use commercially reasonable efforts to require all
employees, consultants, and contractors of each Grantor who were involved in the creation or
development of such Intellectual Property to sign agreements containing assignment of Intellectual
Property rights and obligations of confidentiality. Except to the extent that a Grantor determines
in its reasonable business judgment that such steps are not material to, necessary for,
economically desirable or prudent in the conduct of its business, each Grantor further agrees not
to abandon any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property License that is necessary in the
conduct of such Grantor’s business. Each Grantor hereby agrees to take the steps described in this
Section 6(g)(ii) with respect to all new or acquired Intellectual Property included in the
Collateral;
(iii) Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Lender Group shall have no duties with respect
to any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of any Grantor. Without limiting
the generality of this Section 6(g)(iii), Grantors acknowledge and agree that no member of
the Lender Group shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in
the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses against any
other Person, but any member of the Lender Group may do so at its option from and after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals)
shall be for the sole account of Borrowers and shall be chargeable to the Loan Account;

(iv) On each date on which a Compliance Certificate is delivered by Parent pursuant to Section
5.1 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall provide Agent with a written report of all new
Copyrights, Patents or Trademarks that are registered or the subject of pending applications for
registrations, and of all Intellectual Property Licenses that are material to the conduct of such
Grantor’s business, in each case, which were acquired, registered, or for which applications for
registration were filed by any Grantor during the prior period and any statement of use or
amendment to allege use with respect to intent-to-use trademark applications. In the case of such
registrations or applications therefor, which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall
file the necessary documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable
Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Intellectual Property.
In each of the foregoing cases, the applicable Grantor shall promptly cause to be prepared,
executed, and delivered to Agent supplemental schedules to the applicable Loan Documents to
identify such Copyright, Patent and Trademark registrations and applications therefor (with the
exception of Trademark applications filed on an intent-to-use basis for which no statement of use
or amendment to allege use has been filed) and material Intellectual Property Licenses as being
subject to the security interests created thereunder;
(v) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in no event shall any Grantor,
either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee, or designee, file an application for the
registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or
agency in another country without giving Agent written notice thereof at least 10 days prior to
such filing and complying with Section 6(g)(i). Upon receipt from the United States
Copyright Office of notice of registration of any Copyright, each Grantor shall promptly (but in no
event later than three 10 days following such receipt) notify (but without duplication of any
notice required by Section 6(g)(v)) Agent of such registration by delivering, or causing to
be delivered, to Agent, documentation sufficient for Agent to perfect Agent’s Liens on such
Copyright. If any Grantor acquires from any Person any Copyright registered with the United States
Copyright Office or an application to register any Copyright with the United States Copyright
Office, such Grantor shall promptly (but in no event later than 10 days following such acquisition)
notify Agent of such acquisition and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, documentation
sufficient for Agent to perfect Agent’s Liens on such Copyright. In the case of such Copyright
registrations or applications therefor which were acquired by any Grantor, each such Grantor shall
promptly (but in no event later than 20 days following such acquisition) file the necessary
documents with the appropriate Governmental Authority identifying the applicable Grantor as the
owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the case) of such Copyrights;
(vi) Each Grantor shall take commercially reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of,
and otherwise protect and enforce its rights in, the Intellectual Property that is material to or
necessary for conduct of such Grantor’s business, including, as applicable (A) protecting the
secrecy and confidentiality of its confidential information and trade secrets by having and
enforcing a policy requiring all current employees, consultants, licensees, vendors and contractors
with access to such information to execute appropriate confidentiality agreements and (B) taking
actions reasonably necessary to ensure that no trade secret falls into the public domain;
-16-
(vii) No Grantor shall enter into any material Intellectual Property License to receive any
license or rights in any Intellectual Property of any other Person unless such Grantor has used
commercially reasonable efforts to permit the assignment of or grant of a security interest in such
Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder) to the (and any transferees of
Agent);
(h) Investment Related Property.
(i) If any Grantor shall acquire, obtain, receive or become entitled to receive any Pledged
Interests after the Closing Date, it shall promptly (and in any event within twenty (20) days of
acquiring or obtaining such Collateral) deliver to Agent a duly executed Pledged Interests Addendum
identifying such Pledged Interests;
(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the
request of Agent, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of the Investment
Related Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the
benefit of Agent segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it
forthwith to Agent in the exact form received;
(iii) Each Grantor shall promptly deliver to Agent a copy of each material notice or other
material communication received by it in respect of any Pledged Interests;
(iv) No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with
respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or
enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests
if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents;
(v) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Agent in obtaining all necessary approvals
and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law to effect the
perfection of the Security Interest on the Investment Related Property or to effect any sale or
transfer thereof;
(vi) As to all limited liability company or partnership interests, issued under any Pledged
Operating Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, each Grantor hereby covenants that the
Pledged Interests issued pursuant to such agreement (A) are not and shall not be dealt in or traded
on securities exchanges or in securities markets, (B) do not and will not constitute investment
company securities, and (C) are not and will not be held by such Grantor in a securities account.
In addition, none of the Pledged Operating Agreements, the Pledged Partnership Agreements, or any
other agreements governing any of the Pledged Interests issued under any Pledged Operating
Agreement or Pledged Partnership Agreement, provide or shall provide that such Pledged Interests
are securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any relevant
jurisdiction.
-17-
(i) Fixtures. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, all of the Collateral shall remain personal property regardless of the manner of
its attachment or affixation to real property;1
(j) Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of
law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or as otherwise agreed by the
Lender Group thereunder, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of
the Collateral of any Grantor, except for Permitted Liens or as otherwise agreed by the Lender
Group under the Credit Agreement. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed
to constitute Agent’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as
expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(k) Controlled Accounts. Each Grantor shall establish and maintain cash management
services as required pursuant to Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement and enter into Control
Agreements with respect to its Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts as required by Sections
5.18 and 6.11 of the Credit Agreement; and
(l) Pledged Notes. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement or
the Intercompany Subordination Agreement, Grantors (i) without the prior written consent of Agent,
will not (A) waive or release any obligation of any Person that is obligated under any of the
Pledged Notes, (B) take or omit to take any action or knowingly suffer or permit any action to be
omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums
payable under the Pledged Notes, or (C) other than Permitted Dispositions, assign or surrender
their rights and interests under any of the Pledged Notes or terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement or amend the Pledged Notes, and (ii) shall provide to Agent copies of all material
written notices (including notices of default) given or received with respect to the Pledged Notes
promptly after giving or receiving such notice.
7. Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.
(a) Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this
Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such provision of the Credit Agreement shall
control.

Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental
to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements,
Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or
remedies of Agent hereunder. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement
and a provision in a Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement or Patent Security
Agreement, such provision of this Agreement shall control.

8. Further Assurances.
(a) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that Agent
may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted hereby, to
create, perfect or protect the Security Interest purported to be granted hereby or to enable Agent
to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral.
(b) Each Grantor authorizes the filing by Agent of financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto, and such Grantor will execute and deliver to Agent such other instruments or
notices, as Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the Security Interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby.
(c) Each Grantor authorizes Agent at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or
communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as
“all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii)
describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that
contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing
office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or
amendments previously filed by Agent in any jurisdiction.
(d) Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or
amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under
Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
9. Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform
any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement
and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself
could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses
constituting Collateral in connection with the enforcement of Agent’s rights hereunder, including
the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned
by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to
request that any Stock that is pledged hereunder be registered in the name of Agent or any of its
nominees.
10. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent
its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under
the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Agent may reasonably
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:
-19-
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other
Collateral of such Grantor;
(b) to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to
change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of Agent;
(c) to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable
Collateral or Chattel Paper;
(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Agent may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to
enforce the rights of Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the
purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;
(f) subject to the Intercreditor Arrangements, to use any Intellectual Property or
Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents,
Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising matter,
in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to
collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and
(g) Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, shall have the right,
but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name, to the extent permissible under
applicable Law, to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if
Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of Agent, do any
and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by Agent in aid of
such enforcement.
To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.
11. Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained
herein, Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable
expenses of Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by
Grantors.
12. Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect
Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product
Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the
safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually
received by it hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights
-20-
pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded
treatment substantially equal to that which Agent accords its own property.
13. Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any
time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent or Agent’s
designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles,
Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to Agent, for the benefit
of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, or that Agent has a security interest therein,
and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor
directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured
Obligations under the Loan Documents.
14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing
as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the
date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state
securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be
restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such
registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, Agent may
approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under
such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests
were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open
market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale,
Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized
brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do
so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the
best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the
best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be
conclusive evidence that Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
15. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Agent may, at
its option, and with two (2) Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in addition to all
rights and remedies available to Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise,
exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or
distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no
circumstances is Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii)
if Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby
appoints Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such
Pledged Interests in any manner Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which
may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The
power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
-21-
(b) For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it,
such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of Agent,
vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially
adversely affect the rights of Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, or the Bank Product
Providers, or the value of the Pledged Interests.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of
the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default
under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event and subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement
and this Agreement, Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of
any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon
any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are
hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law),
may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to,
and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of Agent forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Agent and make it available to Agent at one
or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (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 Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other
terms as Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to the applicable 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 and specifically such notice shall constitute a reasonable
“authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. Agent
shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been
given. Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time
and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for
purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a
licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is
sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and
time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.
(b) Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without liability for royalties
or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any
labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and
advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights
under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including, to the extent permitted under any
Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale,
advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and
all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of Agent.
-22-
(c) Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan
Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice
to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum
extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Grantor’s
Deposit Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code,
instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of
such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s
Securities Accounts in which Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the
Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable
Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of Agent, or (B)
liquidate any financial assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized
market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of Agent.
(d) Any cash held by Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of
any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be
applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. In the
event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in
full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.
(e) Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial
transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing Agent shall have
the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Agent shall have the

Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by Agent.

the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider as provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or any Bank Product Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute
or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right,
power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product
Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the

other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder
and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and
in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it
lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling

Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it
lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

against all claims, lawsuits and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees) growing out of

Document to which such Grantor is a party, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party seeking indemnification as determined by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured
Obligations.

the Loan Account) all the Lender Group Expenses which Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an

REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF
PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN
AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No 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 Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of
this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Agent and each
Grantor to which such amendment applies.
22. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Agent at its address specified in
the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses

other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.
23. Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement. This Agreement

and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each
Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations
under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested
with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment
in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and
the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest granted hereby shall
terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled
thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to
terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination
of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or
document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans
or extensions of credit made by any Lender to Borrowers, nor the taking of further security, nor
the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other
act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor
from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with
the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise,
be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing
and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right
or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or
remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
24. Governing Law.
(a) THE VALIDITY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF,
AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATED

Subsidiaries (whether by acquisition or creation) of any Grantor are required to enter into this
Agreement by executing and delivering in favor of Agent a Joinder to this Agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit J-1 to the Credit Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of

(Luxembourg) Holding S.àr.l. has been duly notified of the existence of the pledge
and the Pledged Interests may not be disposed of in any way without the prior
written consent of WFCF.”

amending Schedule I to include any such new patent rights of each Grantor. Notwithstanding
