1.4 Perfection Certificate. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Creditor agree that the Perfection Certificate and all descriptions of Collateral, schedules, amendments and supplements thereto are and shall at all times remain a part of this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Each Grantor represents and warrants as of the date hereof, and, until the Termination Date, covenants, which representations, warranties and covenants shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement, as follows:
2.1 Necessary Perfection Action. The security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement in and to the Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Creditors creates a valid security interest and Lien upon such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral. Except to the extent perfection is not required hereunder, such security interest will be duly perfected (A) upon the filing of the UCC financing statements delivered to the Collateral Agent for filing in the appropriate jurisdictions set forth on Schedule 6 of the Perfection Certificate, (B) in Deposit Accounts upon the obtaining and maintenance of “control” (as described in the UCC as in effect on the date hereof in the State of New York) by the Collateral Agent (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, no “control” over any Excluded Deposit Accounts shall be required), (C) upon the recordation of a short form security agreement with respect to the U.S. registered intellectual property disclosed in Schedules 11(a) and 11(b) of the Perfection Certificate in the PTO or the United States Copyright Office, as the case may be; provided, however, that additional filings may be necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in, and Lien on, any Patents, Marks, Copyrights, Domain Names, Trade Secret Rights and other intellectual property acquired after the date hereof, and (D) upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of all Instruments, Chattel Paper and certificated pledged Equity Interests that constitute “securities” governed by Article 8 of the UCC, in each case constituting Collateral in suitable form for transfer by delivery or accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank.
Upon the taking of the actions under this Section 2.1, such security interest will be superior to and prior to all other Liens of all other Persons (other than Permitted Liens), and enforceable as such as against all other Persons (except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law)) other than Ordinary Course Transferees.
9
2.2 No Liens. Such Grantor is, and as to all Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof such Grantor will be, the owner of, or otherwise have the right to use, all Collateral free from any Lien of any Person (other than Permitted Liens), and such Grantor shall, at its own expense, take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all Persons at any time claiming the same or any interest therein materially adverse to the Collateral Agent (other than Permitted Liens).
2.3 Other Financing Statements. As of the date hereof, no Grantor has filed, nor authorized the filing by any third party of any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Collateral (other than financing statements or other statements or instruments of registration under the law of any jurisdiction filed in respect of Permitted Liens), and so long as the Termination Date has not occurred, such Grantor will not authorize to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to the Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted hereby by such Grantor or in connection with Permitted Liens.
2.4 Chief Executive Office, Record Locations. The chief executive office of such Grantor is, on the date of this Agreement, located at the address indicated on Schedule 2(a) of the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor. During the period of the four calendar months preceding the date of this Agreement, the chief executive office of such Grantor has not been located at any address other than that indicated on Schedule 2(a) of the Perfection Certificate in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, in each case unless each such other address is also indicated on Schedule 2(a) of the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor.
2.5 Location of Goods, Inventory and Equipment. All Goods, Inventory and Equipment (having a fair market value in excess of $3,000,000 with respect to Collateral comprising Goods, Inventory and Equipment only) held on the date hereof, or held at any time during the four calendar months prior to the date hereof, by each Grantor, other than Goods, Inventory or Equipment in transit, out for repair or refurbishment, books and records temporarily located at the offices of such Grantor’s attorneys or accountants, or moved in the ordinary course of business, is located at one of the locations shown on Schedule 2(b) of the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor.
2.6 Legal Names; Type of Organization (and Whether a Registered Organization); Jurisdiction of Organization; Location; Organizational Identification Numbers; Federal Employer Identification Number; Changes Thereto; etc. As of the Closing Date, the exact legal name of each Grantor as such name appears in its public organic record, the type of organization of such Grantor, whether or not such Grantor is a Registered Organization, the jurisdiction of organization of such Grantor, such Grantor’s Location, the organizational identification number (if any) to the extent required on the relevant UCC financing statement of such Grantor and the Federal Employer Identification Number of such Grantor (if any), is listed on Schedule 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate for such Grantor. Such Grantor shall not change its legal name as such name appears in its respective public organic record, its type of organization, its status as a Registered Organization (in the case of a Registered Organization), its jurisdiction of organization, its Location, its organizational identification number (if any) to the extent required on the relevant UCC financing statement of such Grantor or its Federal Employer Identification Number (if any) from that used on Schedule 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate, except that any such changes shall be permitted (so long as not in violation of the applicable requirements of the Secured Debt Agreements and so long as same do not involve (x) a Registered Organization ceasing to constitute same or (y) such Grantor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the United States or a State thereof to a jurisdiction of organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the United States or a State thereof) if (i) it shall have given to the Collateral Agent written notice of each change to the
10
information listed on Schedule 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate (as adjusted for any subsequent changes thereto previously made in accordance with this sentence), together with a supplement to Schedule 1(a) of the Perfection Certificate which shall update all information contained therein for such Grantor within 30 days of such change (or such longer period as agreed to by the Collateral Agent) and (ii) in connection with such change or changes, it shall take all action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to maintain the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby at all times fully perfected to the extent described in Section 2.1 and in full force and effect.
2.7 [Reserved].
2.8 Certain Significant Transactions. During the five-year period preceding the date of this Agreement, no Person shall have merged or consolidated with or into any Grantor, and no Person shall have liquidated into, or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to, any Grantor, in each case except the mergers and consolidations contemplated by the Transaction and the mergers and consolidations described in Schedule 3 of the Perfection Certificate. With respect to any transactions so described in Schedule 3 of the Perfection Certificate, the respective Grantor shall have furnished such information with respect to the Person (and the assets of the Person and locations thereof) which merged with or into or consolidated with such Grantor, or was liquidated into or transferred all or substantially all of its assets to such Grantor, and shall have furnished to the Collateral Agent such UCC lien searches as may have been reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent with respect to such Person and its assets, to establish that no security interest (excluding Permitted Liens) continues perfected on the date hereof with respect to any Person described above (or the assets transferred to the respective Grantor by such Person), including without limitation pursuant to Section 9-316(a)(3) of the UCC.
2.9 As-Extracted Collateral; Timber-to-be-Cut. On the date hereof, such Grantor does not own, or expect to acquire, any material property which constitutes, or would constitute, As-Extracted Collateral or Timber-to-be-Cut.
2.10 Collateral in the Possession of a Bailee. If any Inventory or other Goods, the aggregate fair market value of which is equal to or greater than $3,000,000, are at any time in the possession of a bailee, such Grantor shall on or prior to the next Quarterly Update Date furnish the Collateral Agent with written notice thereof and, if requested by the Collateral Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall use its reasonable efforts to promptly obtain an acknowledgment from such bailee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that the bailee holds such Collateral for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall act upon the instructions of the Collateral Agent, without the further consent of such Grantor, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such instructions unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and upon notice from the Collateral Agent of its intent to exercise remedies.
2.11 Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Grantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Grantor contained herein, in the Secured Debt Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

ARTICLE III
SPECIAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING ACCOUNTS; CONTRACT RIGHTS;
INSTRUMENTS; CHATTEL PAPER AND CERTAIN OTHER COLLATERAL
3.1 [Reserved].
3.2 Maintenance of Records. Each Grantor will keep proper books of record and accounts, in which full, true and correct entries in conformity with U.S. GAAP and all material Requirements of Law shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities, and such Grantor will make the same available on such Grantor’s premises to officers and designated representatives of the Collateral Agent for inspection in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, at its own cost and expense, deliver all tangible evidence of its Accounts and Contract Rights (including, without limitation, all documents evidencing the Accounts and all Contract Rights) and such books and records to the Collateral Agent or to its representatives (copies of which evidence and books and records may be retained by such Grantor). Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and if the Collateral Agent so requests, such Grantor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the Accounts and the Contracts, as well as books, records and documents (if any) of such Grantor evidencing or pertaining to such Accounts and Contracts with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts and Contracts have been assigned to the Collateral Agent and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.
3.3 Direction to Account Debtors; Contracting Parties; etc. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after giving notice to the relevant Grantor of its intent to do so, if the Collateral Agent so directs any Grantor, and (b) as otherwise required pursuant to Section 9.17(c) of the Credit Agreement, such Grantor agrees (i) to cause all payments on account of the Accounts and Contracts to be made directly to the Dominion Account, (ii) that the Collateral Agent may, at its option, directly notify the obligors in its own name or in the name of others with respect to any Accounts and/or under any Contracts to make payments with respect thereto as provided in the preceding clause (i), and (iii) that the Collateral Agent may enforce collection of any such Accounts and Contracts and may adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor; provided that, (x) any failure by the Collateral Agent to give or any delay in giving such notice (including pursuant to Section 9.17(c) of the Credit Agreement) to the relevant Grantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing. Without notice to or assent by any Grantor, the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Liquidity Period or an Event of Default, apply any or all amounts then in, or thereafter deposited in, the Dominion Account toward the payment of the Obligations in the manner provided in Section 7.4 of this Agreement and/or Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement (as applicable). The reasonable costs and expenses of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), whether incurred by a Grantor or the Collateral Agent, shall be borne by the relevant Grantor. The Collateral Agent shall deliver a copy of each notice referred to in the preceding clause (y) to the relevant Grantor, provided that (x) the failure by the Collateral Agent to so notify such Grantor shall not affect the effectiveness of such notice or the other rights of the Collateral Agent created by this Section 3.3 and (y) no such notice shall be required if an Event of Default of the type described in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
3.4 Modification of Terms; etc. Except in accordance with such Grantor’s ordinary course of business, or consistent with reasonable business judgment or as permitted by Section 3.5 or the Credit Documents, no Grantor shall rescind or cancel any indebtedness evidenced by any Account, or modify any material term thereof or make any material adjustment with respect thereto, or extend or renew the same, or compromise or settle any material dispute, claim, suit or legal proceeding relating thereto, or sell any Account, or interest therein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent unless such rescissions, cancellations, modifications, adjustments, extensions, renewals, compromises, settlements, releases, or sales would not reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the value of the Accounts constituting Collateral taken as a whole.
12

Each Grantor will pay any applicable filing fees, recordation taxes and related expenses relating to its Collateral.

(i) personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, from such Grantor or any other Person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon such Grantor’s premises where any of the Collateral is located and remove the same and use in connection with such removal any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of such Grantor, in each case without breach of the peace;
19
(ii) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Grantor in respect of such Collateral;
(iii) instruct all banks which have entered into a Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent to transfer all monies, securities and instruments held by such depositary bank to the Dominion Account; it being understood and agreed that unless a Liquidity Period or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not deliver to such banks a Liquidity Notice or a notice of exclusive control under, and as defined in, the respective Deposit Account Control Agreement relating thereto;
(iv) sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof, or direct such Grantor to sell, assign or otherwise liquidate any or all of the Collateral or any part thereof, and, in each case, take possession of the proceeds of any such sale or liquidation;
(v) take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, by directing such Grantor in writing to deliver the same to the Collateral Agent at any reasonable place or places designated by the Collateral Agent, in which event such Grantor shall at its own expense:
(x) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places so designated by the Collateral Agent and there delivered to the Collateral Agent;

(vii) apply any monies constituting Collateral or proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 and/or Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement (as applicable); and
(viii) take any other action as specified in clauses (a)(1) through (a)(5), inclusive, of Section 9-607 of the UCC;
it being understood that each Grantor’s obligation so to deliver the Collateral is of the essence of this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Security Document, the Secured Creditors
20
expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Security Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that no Secured Creditor shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent.
7.2 Remedies; Disposition of the Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then any Collateral repossessed by the Collateral Agent under or pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof and any other Collateral whether or not so repossessed by the Collateral Agent, may be sold, assigned, leased or otherwise disposed of under one or more contracts or as an entirety, and without the necessity of gathering at the place of sale the property to be sold, and in general in such manner, at such time or times, at such place or places and on such terms as the Collateral Agent may, in compliance with any mandatory requirements of applicable law, determine to be commercially reasonable. Any of the Collateral may be sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, in the condition in which the same existed when taken by the Collateral Agent or after any overhaul or repair at the expense of the relevant Grantor which the Collateral Agent shall determine to be commercially reasonable. Any such sale, lease or other disposition may be effected by means of a public disposition or private disposition, effected in accordance with the applicable requirements (in each case if and to the extent applicable) of Sections 9-610 through 9-613 of the UCC and/or such other mandatory requirements of applicable law as may apply to the respective disposition. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private disposition or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the disposition, and such disposition may be made at any time or place to which the disposition may be so adjourned. To the extent permitted by any such requirement of law, the Collateral Agent may bid for and become the purchaser (and may pay all or any portion of the purchase price by crediting Obligations against the purchase price) of the Collateral or any item thereof, offered for disposition in accordance with this Section 7.2 without accountability to the relevant Grantor. Each Grantor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary to make such disposition or dispositions of all or any portion of the Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at such Grantor’s expense.
7.3 Waiver of Claims. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE AND JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S TAKING POSSESSION OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE COLLATERAL, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES, and each Grantor hereby further waives, to the extent permitted by law:
(a) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession or any such disposition except any damages which are the direct result of the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision);
(b) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder; and
(c) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law in order to prevent or delay the enforcement of this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof, and each Grantor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws.
21
Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the relevant Grantor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Grantor and against any and all Persons claiming or attempting to claim the Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through and under such Grantor.
7.4 Application of Proceeds.
(a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all moneys collected by the Collateral Agent (or, to the extent the Pledge Agreement or any other Security Document requires proceeds of collateral under such other Security Document to be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Pledgee under, and as defined in, the Pledge Agreement, or collateral agent under such other Security Document) upon any sale or other disposition of the Collateral (or the collateral under the relevant Security Document), together with all other moneys received by the Collateral Agent hereunder (or under the relevant Security Document), in each case, as a result of the exercise of remedies by the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be applied in accordance with Section 11.11 of the Credit Agreement.
(b) It is understood that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Obligations.
7.5 Remedies Cumulative. Each and every right, power and remedy hereby specifically given to the Collateral Agent shall be in addition to every other right, power and remedy specifically given to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the other Secured Debt Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute and each and every right, power and remedy whether specifically herein given or otherwise existing may be exercised from time to time or simultaneously and as often and in such order as may be deemed expedient by the Collateral Agent. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and the exercise or the beginning of the exercise of one shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to exercise any other or others.

3. Severability. Any provision of this Joinder Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
4. Counterparts. This Joinder Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Joinder Agreement by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Joinder Agreement.

6. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the New Grantor, any Agent or any Lender shall be governed by the terms of Section 10.1 of the Security Agreement.
