Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the security interest in the Collateral created hereunder secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Priority Lien Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving an Issuer or a Guarantor.

Section 4. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Trustee of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Priority Lien Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

Section 5. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Debt (except to the extent the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Pledged Debt owing to such Grantor does not exceed $200,000) with respect to any Grantor shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee pursuant hereto (unless the ABL Agent is granted a prior security interest in such instruments and the same are required to be delivered (and are so delivered) to the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee.

A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Trustee to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.

(c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Grantor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

In the event that any Grantor owns or holds any such property or asset, then within 60 days after such notification to the Collateral Trustee, such Grantor(s) shall deliver to the Collateral Trustee all applicable documentation, and shall take other actions as necessary to effect Collateral Trustee’s Lien on such property or asset, and promptly upon the request of the Collateral Trustee, such Grantor(s) shall take such other actions as the Collateral Trustee deems necessary to give effect to the immediately preceding two sentences.

Section 12. Insurance. (a) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to its Equipment and Inventory in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers, as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee. Each policy of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and such Grantor as their interests may appear, and each policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses (except for losses of less than $250,000 per occurrence) to be paid directly to the Collateral Trustee (unless, in the case of Inventory, the ABL Agent is granted a prior security interest therein and such applicable insurance policy provides for all losses to be paid directly to the ABL Agent). Unless Collateral Trustee shall agree otherwise and except as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, each such policy shall in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Collateral Trustee as insured parties or loss payees thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Trustee) as their interests may appear, (ii) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be payable to the Collateral Trustee notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of representation or warranty by such Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Trustee for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iv) provide that at least 30 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Trustee by the insurer. Each Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Trustee, deliver to the Collateral Trustee original or duplicate policies of such insurance and, as often as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance.

(b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this Section 12 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred liability covered by such insurance.

(c) Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) relating to, and any awards arising from condemnation of, any Noteholder First Lien Collateral, in each case net of any taxes and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses, shall be (i) so long as no Priority Lien Default has occurred and is continuing, reinvested within 365 days of the receipt of such net proceeds or awards to acquire or repair Equipment or (ii) paid to Collateral Trustee and applied pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

Section 13. Post-Closing Changes; Collections on Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. (a) Without limiting any prohibitions or restrictions on mergers or other transactions set forth in the Priority Lien Documents, no Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number from those set forth in Section 9(a) of this Agreement without prior written notice to the Collateral Trustee and taking all action reasonably required by the Collateral Trustee for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Related Contracts, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Trustee at any time subject to reasonable notice and during normal business hours to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Trustee of such organizational identification number.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (b), each Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor may take such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Collateral Trustee shall have the right at any time, after the Discharge of ABL Debt Obligations and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Lien Default and upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Collateral Trustee and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Trustee and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Trustee referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and so long as a Priority Lien Default is continuing and after the

Discharge of ABL Debt Obligations, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in the Cash Collateral Account and either (A) released to such Grantor if no Priority Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Priority Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 23(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or Related Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Obligor thereof.

Section 14. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 14(a), with respect to each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all necessary steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written consent of the Collateral Trustee, sell, assign, convey, transfer, discontinue use of, permit to lapse, or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof could not reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Trustee if such Grantor becomes aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any item of Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register any patent, trademark or copyright included in the Intellectual Property Collateral or to keep and maintain and enforce any issued patent or patent application or any registration or application for any trademark or copyright, except to the extent that such Grantor is permitted to abandon or discontinue use of such Intellectual Property Collateral under Section 14(a) above, or (ii) of any adverse determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to such Grantor’s business.

(c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral that is material to such Grantor’s business is being infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Trustee and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor or the Collateral Trustee deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

(d) Each Grantor shall use appropriate statutory notice in connection with its use of registered trademarks, appropriate marking practices in connection with its use of patents, and appropriate notice of copyright in connection with the publication of copyrights, in each case, that are included in the Intellectual Property Collateral. No Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain, except to the extent that such Grantor is permitted to abandon or discontinue use of such Intellectual Property Collateral under Section 14(a) above.

(e) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it or, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.

(f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Trustee in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee, any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

(g) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain or otherwise acquire an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 2(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. In conjunction with Section 10.3(d), within 10 Business Days following the end of each fiscal quarter (or such later date as the Collateral Trustee may specify in its sole discretion), each Grantor shall notify

Collateral Trustee in writing identifying any patent, patent applications, trademark registrations, trademark applications, copyright registrations and copyright applications included in the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and, within 30 days after such notification to Collateral Trustee, such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such After-Acquired Intellectual Property, which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Trustee, any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired Intellectual Property.

Section 15. Voting Rights; Dividends; Etc. (a) So long as no Priority Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Security Collateral of such Grantor or any part thereof for any purpose; provided, however, that such Grantor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right if such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Security Collateral or any part thereof.

(ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor if and to the extent that the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the Priority Lien Documents; provided, however, that if any Priority Lien Default has occurred and is continuing, any and all

(A) dividends, interest and other distributions paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral,

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Security Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Security Collateral

shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Trustee (unless such cash is required to be delivered and has been so delivered to the ABL Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) to hold as, Security Collateral and shall, if received by such Grantor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, be segregated from the other property or funds of such Grantor and be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Trustee (unless such cash is required to be delivered and has been so delivered to the ABL Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(iii) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Trustee will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Lien Default:

(i) All rights of each Grantor (x) to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 15(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Collateral Trustee, cease and (y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 15(a)(ii) shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Trustee, which shall thereupon so long as a Priority Lien Default shall be continuing have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest and other distributions.

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 15(b) shall, so long as a Priority Lien Default shall be continuing, be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee (unless such dividends, interest and other distributions are required to be delivered and have been so delivered to the ABL Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Section 16. As to the Assigned Agreements. (a) Each Grantor will at its expense:

(i) perform and observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be performed or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in full force and effect, enforce the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in accordance with the terms thereof and take all such action to such end as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Collateral Trustee, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(ii) furnish to the Collateral Trustee or its counsel on a confidential basis promptly upon receipt thereof copies of all notices, requests and other documents received by such Grantor under or pursuant to the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party, and from time to time (A) furnish to the Collateral Trustee or its counsel (in each case on a confidential basis) such information and reports regarding the Assigned Agreements and such other Collateral of such Grantor as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request and (B) if a Priority Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon request of the Collateral Trustee, make to each other party to any Assigned Agreement to which it is a party such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as such Grantor is entitled to make thereunder.

(b) Each Grantor agrees that it will not, except to the extent otherwise permitted under the Priority Lien Documents and except where such action could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(i) cancel or terminate any Assigned Agreement to which it is a party or consent to or accept any cancellation or termination thereof;

(ii) amend, amend and restate, supplement or otherwise modify any such Assigned Agreement or give any consent, waiver or approval thereunder;

(iii) waive any default under or breach of any such Assigned Agreement; or

(iv) take any other action in connection with any such Assigned Agreement that would impair the value of the interests or rights of such Grantor thereunder or that would impair the interests or rights of any Secured Party.

(c) Each Grantor hereby consents on its behalf and on behalf of its Subsidiaries to the assignment and pledge to the Collateral Trustee for benefit of the Secured Parties of each Assigned Agreement to which it is a party by any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 17. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights. (a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Collateral Trustee, intends to (and hereby does) assign to the Collateral Trustee its rights (including its contingent rights) to the proceeds of all Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Each Grantor will promptly use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer of each letter of credit and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the proceeds thereof pursuant to a consent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee (with provisions necessary to reflect the ABL Agent’s prior security interest therein pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement if the ABL Agent is required to be assigned (and has been assigned) the proceeds thereof pursuant to a prior security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement) and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Collateral Trustee.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Priority Lien Default, each Grantor will, promptly upon request by the Collateral Trustee, (i) notify (and such Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to notify) the issuer and each nominated person with respect to each of the Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit that the proceeds thereof have been assigned to the Collateral Trustee hereunder and any payments due or to become due in respect thereof are to be made directly to the Collateral Trustee or its designee and (ii) arrange for the Collateral Trustee (unless the ABL Agent is required to become (and has become) the transferee beneficiary thereof pursuant to a prior security interest therein for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) to become the transferee beneficiary of such letters of credit.

Section 18. Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor will promptly give notice to the Collateral Trustee of any commercial tort claim which might reasonably be expected to result in awarded damages (except to the extent the aggregate amount thereof for such Grantor(less any and all legal and other expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by such Grantor) does not exceed $200,000) that any Grantor may become aware of after the date hereof and will promptly thereafter execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the security interest created under this Agreement.

Section 19. Transfers and Other Liens. Each Grantor agrees that it will not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options relating to Collateral, permitted under the terms of the Priority Lien Documents, or (ii) create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Liens permitted under the Priority Lien Documents.

Section 20. Collateral Trustee Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee such Grantor’s attorney in fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Lien Default, in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

(a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 12,

(b) to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral,

(c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

(d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Trustee may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the rights of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral.

Section 21. Collateral Trustee May Perform. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Priority Lien Default, if any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under Section 24.

Section 22. The Collateral Trustee’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property of similar nature.

(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Trustee may from time to time, when the Collateral Trustee deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Trustee so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the security interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Trustee, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder with respect to such Collateral, and (iii) the term “Collateral Trustee”, when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Trustee with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Trustee.

Section 23. Remedies. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Priority Lien Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and

remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of the Collateral Trustee, be held by the Collateral Trustee as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 24) in whole or in part by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations, in the order described in Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

(c) All payments received by any Grantor in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(d) The Collateral Trustee may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the Collateral Trustee or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products and services of such Grantor.

(g) During the continuance of a Priority Lien Default, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 23 and solely at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants, subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable IP Agreements, to the Collateral Trustee an irrevocable (during the continuance of such Priority Lien Default), non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter developed, created, or acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located; provided that in connection with any such license or sublicense of any Trademark, the Collateral Trustee shall ensure that any goods or services sold under such Trademark by any such licensee or sublicense will be of comparable quality to the goods and services of the applicable Grantor sold under such Trademark immediately prior to such Priority Lien Default. The foregoing license includes reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The foregoing license shall be subject to any commercially reasonable quality standards and quality control practices, including any such quality standard and quality control practices in effect by each applicable Grantor and communicated to the Collateral Trustee via e-mail or otherwise in writing by such Grantor, with respect to its Trademarks, immediately prior to such Priority Lien Default, and the Collateral Trustee shall retain the confidentiality of any confidential information, including any trade secrets, included in the Intellectual Property Collateral licensed under this Section 23(g), consistent with commercially reasonable standards, including any reasonable standards in effect by each applicable Grantor as communicated to the Collateral Trustee in writing by such Grantor, with respect to its confidential information, immediately prior to such Priority Lien Default.

Section 24. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Each Grantor will within 30 days of demand pay to the Collateral Trustee the amount of any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable documented fees and expenses of counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Trustee may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Trustee or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c) All reasonable expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Grantors. Each of the Grantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title to Collateral and the Liens of the Collateral Trustee thereon against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever.

Section 25. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”), such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Priority Lien Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, each reference in this Agreement and the other Priority Lien Documents to the “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral granted by such Additional Grantor and each reference in this Agreement to a Schedule shall also mean and be a reference to the schedules attached to such Security Agreement Supplement.

Section 26. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 7.7 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. Delivery by telecopier or electronic mail of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

Section 27. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Priority Lien Documents. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Discharge, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any holder of Secured Obligations may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Priority Lien Documents (including, without limitation, all or any portion of the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person in accordance with the applicable Priority Lien Documents, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such holder of Secured Obligations herein or otherwise, in each case in accordance with the applicable Priority Lien Documents.

Section 28. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any release of all or any portion of the Collateral of any Grantor from the Liens created hereby, in each case in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the security interest created hereunder on such item of Collateral shall be automatically released.

(b) All or any portion of the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, and the other Priority Lien Documents shall terminate, in each case in accordance with Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. The Collateral Trustee will, at the Grantor’s expense and in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, execute and deliver to Grantor Agent such documents as such Grantor Agent shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereunder. The release of the guaranty agreements executed by a Guarantor in favor of the Collateral Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of all applicable Priority Lien Documents. In connection with such release, Collateral Trustee shall promptly execute and deliver to such Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release of such guaranty or Liens. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 28 shall be without recourse to or warranty by Collateral Trustee.

(c) Upon the Discharge, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Trustee will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 29. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 30. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW).

Section 31. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement shall control, provided that in the event of inconsistency between the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

Section 32. Intercreditor Agreement. Reference is made to the Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2009, among Bank of America, N.A., as agent for the ABL Secured Parties referred to therein; U.S. Bank National Association, as Noteholder Collateral Trustee (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement); Solo Cup Company; Solo Cup Operating Company; and the other subsidiaries of Solo Cup Company named therein (the “Intercreditor Agreement”).
