identifying the applicable Grantor as the owner (or as a co-owner thereof, if such is the
case) of such Intellectual Property.
(ii) Each Grantor shall have the duty, with respect to all Intellectual Property owned

necessary in the conduct of such Grantor’s business, to take all reasonable and necessary
measures to protect and diligently enforce and defend at such Grantor’s expense all of such

Grantor acknowledges and agrees that no member of the Secured Parties shall be under any

registration by delivering, or causing to be delivered, to Collateral Agent, documentation
sufficient to perfect Collateral 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 three (3) Business Days following such
acquisition) notify Collateral Agent, in writing, of such acquisition and deliver, or cause
to be delivered, to Collateral Agent, documentation sufficient to perfect Collateral 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

vendors and contractors with access to such information to execute appropriate
confidentiality agreements; (B) taking actions reasonably necessary to ensure that no trade
secret falls into the public domain; and (C) protecting the secrecy and confidentiality of

license or rights in any Intellectual Property of any other Person unless such Grantor has

interest in such Intellectual Property License (and all rights of Grantor thereunder)
to the Collateral Agent (and any transferees of Collateral Agent).

other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it forthwith to Collateral Agent in the exact
form received;

with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership

any Pledged Interests if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Indenture or any Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents;
(iv) Each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with Collateral 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; and
(v) 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) to the extent that (x) the
such Pledged Interests are “securities” for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Code or (y)

more of the banks set forth on Schedule 8 (each a “Controlled Account

each such Controlled Account.
(iii) So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
Grantor may add or replace a Controlled Account Bank or Controlled Account;
provided, however, that prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the
time of the opening of such Controlled Account, the applicable Grantor and such prospective
Controlled Account Bank shall have executed and delivered to Collateral Agent a Controlled
Account Agreement.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default and then upon request of Collateral Agent, no Control Agreement or
Controlled Account Agreement shall be required with respect to any Excluded Account.

Default, Grantors (i) without the prior written consent of Collateral 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

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 Collateral Agent copies of all

therefore and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto;

26

read and construed with the other Secured Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.

Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental

(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,

perfect or protect the Security Interest purported to be granted hereby or to enable Collateral
Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the

27

amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with
this Agreement without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s
rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
9. Collateral Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent (or its designee),
without obligation, (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

10. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably

Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing under any Secured Document, to take any action and to execute any
instrument which may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement,
including, without limitation:
(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 Collateral 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 may be necessary
to protect Collateral Agent’s security interest;
(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) to use any Intellectual Property or exercise any rights under 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
28
(g) Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right, but shall not be
obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual
Property Licenses and, if Collateral Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor
shall, at the request of Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all
proper documents reasonably required by Collateral 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. Collateral Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, Collateral Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Collateral Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by Grantors.
12. Collateral Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are
solely to protect Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, and shall not impose any duty upon Collateral 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, Collateral 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 pertaining to any Collateral. 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 Collateral 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, Collateral Agent or
Collateral 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
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or that Collateral 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 applicable Secured Documents.
14. Disposition of Pledged Interests by Collateral Agent. (a) 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,
Collateral 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
Collateral Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged
Interests or any portion thereof
29
to be sold at a private sale, Collateral 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 Collateral Agent has handled the
disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.
(b) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to grant, directly or indirectly,
to the Collateral Agent or any holders of the Notes any interest in any Pledged Interest that would
cause such Pledged Interest to be owned or controlled by a Person who is not a “citizen of the
United States” within the meaning of 46 U.S.C. § 50501 (a) and (d), qualified to operate in the
coastwise trade of the United States.
15. Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral
Agent may, at its option, and with three (3) Business Days prior notice to any Grantor, and in
addition to all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent hereunder or 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 Collateral Agent obligated by the
terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Collateral Agent duly exercises its
right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints Collateral Agent, such
Grantor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in
any manner Collateral 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.
(b) Except as otherwise permitted under the Secured Documents, 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 Collateral Agent, vote or take any
consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect
the rights of Collateral Agent, the other members of the Secured Parties, or the value of the
Pledged Interests.
16. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights
and remedies provided for herein, in the other Secured 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, Collateral 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,
30
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 Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the
Collateral as directed by Collateral Agent and make it available to Collateral 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 Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such
other terms as Collateral 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. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice
of sale having been given. Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to
time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 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
disposition (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610
of the Code.
(b) Collateral 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 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 Collateral Agent.
(c) Collateral Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the
other Secured 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent, and
(ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which Collateral 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 Collateral 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 Collateral Agent.
31
(d) Any cash held by Collateral Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by
Collateral 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 Indenture. 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 Collateral Agent
shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. Collateral
Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any
objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by
Collateral Agent.
17. Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of Collateral Agent as
provided for in this Agreement or in the other Secured Documents or 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 or in the other
Secured Documents or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and
the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Collateral Agent, of any one or more of such rights,
powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Collateral Agent of
any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.
18. Marshaling. Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or
future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances
of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or
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
of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights and
remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the
Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of
the 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.
19. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent to the extent the Issuer would be
required to do so pursuant to the Indenture. This provision shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent and the repayment
of the Secured Obligations.
32
(b) Grantors, jointly and severally, shall, upon written demand therefore and with reasonable
detailed documentation thereof, pay to Collateral Agent all the expenses which
Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii)
the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement
and the other Secured Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of
Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the
provisions hereof.
20. Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS,
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 Collateral 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 Collateral
Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies.
21. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to Collateral Agent at its address
specified in the Indenture, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in
the Indenture, as applicable, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by
such party in a written notice to the other party.
22. Continuing Security Interest: Releases and Assignments.
(a) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i)
remain in full force and effect until all Secured Obligations have been paid in full in accordance
with the provisions of the Secured Documents, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their
respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
Collateral Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns.
(b) The Security Interests securing the Notes Obligations shall be released with respect to
any Collateral, in whole or in part, to the extent the release of such Security Interests in such
Collateral is provided in the Indenture and any other Note Document (other than this Agreement)
governing such Notes Obligations. Any such release shall be automatic and shall not require any
further action by any Grantor.
(c) The Security Interests securing the any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations of any
class or series shall be released with respect to any Collateral, in whole or in part, to the
extent the release of such Security Interests in such Collateral is provided in the Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Debt Documents (other than this Agreement) governing such Permitted
Additional Pari Passu Obligations. Any such release shall be automatic and shall not require any
further action by any Grantor.
33
(d) At the time of any release pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) above, all rights to the
Collateral released shall revert to the Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto, and
Collateral Agent shall return to the Grantors any such released Collateral in its possession. In
connection with any release of Security Interests pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above, Collateral
Agent shall cause the filing of appropriate termination statements or other termination documents
to terminate such Security Interests and shall promptly take, at the expense of the Grantors, any
other steps reasonably requested, in writing, by the Grantors necessary to terminate the relevant
Security Interests created hereunder or in connection herewith.
(e) No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the
Indenture, any other Note Document, or any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Debt Document or any
other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Collateral Agent nor any
additional advances or other loans made by any Secured Party to any Grantor, nor the taking of
further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to any Grantor by Collateral
Agent, nor any other act of the Secured Parties, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any
obligation, except a release in accordance with this Section 22. Collateral 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 Collateral Agent and then only
to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Collateral 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
Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
23. 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
HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER, GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED AND LITIGATED ONLY IN THE STATE AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, FEDERAL COURTS, LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE
BROUGHT, AT AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE AGENT ELECTS TO BRING SUCH
ACTION OR WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR
WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE
OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING
IS BROUGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 23(b).
34
(c) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR
HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT
CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. COLLATERAL AGENT AND
EACH GRANTOR REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES
ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A
COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
24. New Subsidiaries. If, pursuant to the Indenture, the Company or the Issuer is
required to cause any Subsidiary that has not previously guaranteed the obligations of the Issuer
under the Indenture and the Notes to provide such a guaranty, upon the execution and delivery of a
Joinder by any such new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same
force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any
instrument adding an additional Grantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent
of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor hereunder.
25. Collateral Agent. Each reference herein to any right granted to, benefit
conferred upon or power exercisable by the “Collateral Agent” shall be a reference to Collateral
Agent, for the benefit of each member of the Secured Parties.
26. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement is a Note Document. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and
delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement
by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as
delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed
counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also
shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an
original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of
this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Note Document mutatis mutandis.
(b) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision
of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific
provision.
35
(c) Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary
is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire
Agreement.
(d) Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against
any Collateral Agent or any Grantor, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. This
Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the
ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all
parties hereto.
(e) The pronouns used herein shall include, when appropriate, either gender and both singular
and plural, and the grammatical construction of sentences shall conform thereto.
(f) Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural
include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and
“including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the
inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”,
“hereunder”, and similar terms in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular provision of this Agreement. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit
references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this
Agreement to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments,
changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and
supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations,
amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders,
and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the
same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties,
including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights. Any reference herein to the
satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Secured Obligations shall mean the repayment in
full in cash of all Secured Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Secured
Obligations. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s
successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein shall be satisfied by the
transmission of a Record.
(g) All of the annexes, schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed
incorporated herein by reference.
27. Secured ABL Priority Collateral; Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement),
the requirements of this Agreement to deliver or grant control over ABL Priority Collateral to the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of or the granting of control over such
Secured ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent as bailee for the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to
the Discharge of First-Lien Notes Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and the
Discharge of Second-Lien Notes Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the
requirements of this Agreement to deliver or grant control over Notes Priority Collateral to the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of, or
36
the granting of control over, such Notes Priority Collateral to the First-Lien Notes Agent or the Second-Lien Notes Agent as
bailee for the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement. Prior to the Discharge of
ABL Obligations, each Grantor agrees that, in the event any Grantor, pursuant to the ABL Security
Documents, takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent in any
assets, such Grantor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without
request of the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the
Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), to the extent any Lien
purported to be granted in any ABL Priority Collateral is not or ceases to be a perfected Lien in
favor of the ABL Collateral Agent under the applicable ABL Security Documents, the Grantors shall
have no obligations to take any actions to perfect Collateral Agent’s Liens on such Collateral and
all representations, warranties and covenants in this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions
and qualifications set forth in this Section 27.
28. Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations. On or after the date hereof, the
Company or the Issuer may from time to time designate additional obligations of any Grantor
permitted to be incurred under the Indenture and to be secured by a Lien on the Collateral
permitted by the Indenture as Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations by delivering to the
Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative (a) a certificate signed by an officer of the
Company or the Issuer (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the aggregate principal
amount or face amount thereof, stating that such obligations are designated as Permitted Additional
Pari Passu Obligations for purposes hereof, (ii) representing that such designation of such
obligations as Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations complies with the terms of each of the
Note Documents and (iii) specifying the name and address of an Authorized Representative for such
obligations, (b) a fully executed Permitted Additional Secured Party Joinder (in the form attached
as Annex 2), (c) a certificate signed by an officer of the Company or the Issuer to the
effect that the designation of such obligations as “Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations”
does not violate the terms of the Note Documents and each then extant Permitted Additional Pari
Passu Debt Document (upon which the Collateral Agent may conclusively and exclusively rely) and (d)
a fully executed Intercreditor Agreement or a Joinder Agreement to the Intercreditor Agreement.
Each Authorized Representative agrees that upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the
preceding sentence, the Collateral Agent shall act as agent under and subject to the terms of this
Agreement for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including without limitation, any Secured Parties
that hold any such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations, and each Authorized Representative
agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Collateral Agent as Collateral
Agent for the holders of such Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations as set forth in each
Permitted Additional Secured Party Joinder and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Permitted
Additional Secured Party it represents, to be bound by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the fact
that Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations are to be secured by Liens that are pari passu in
priority with the Liens securing the Notes, any Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations may be
subject to an intercreditor agreement or other instrument or agreement providing for differences
from the Notes Obligations or other Permitted Additional Pari Passu Obligations in right of
payment, priority of payment, remedies, enforcement and other matters. By accepting the benefits
of this Agreement and the other Secured Documents, each Secured Party agrees that it is bound by
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement applicable to such Secured Party.
37
29. Appointment of Sub-Agent. Without further direction from any Secured Party, the
Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise any of its rights and remedies, in each
case, in respect of those matters set forth in Section 8 and Section 30, by or
through a sub-agent appointed pursuant to an agency appointment substantially in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit F, and any reference herein to the “Collateral Agent” shall be deemed to
be a reference to the Collateral Agent or any such sub-agent as the case may be.
30. Post-Closing Matters. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent, on its own behalf
and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes, hereby agree as follows:
(a) The Grantors shall use best efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the
date that is 90 days after the Issue Date, (i) a Landlord’s Disclaimer and Consent or equivalent
document from Columbia North Carolina Morrocroft Office Properties, LLC, the lessor of the premises
located at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000, in materially the same
form as the Landlord’s Disclaimer and Consent or equivalent document executed prior to such date by
such lessor with respect to such premises and delivered to the ABL Agent and (ii) a Subordination
of Landlord’s Lien or equivalent document from TCI 600 Las Colinas, Inc., the lessor of the
premises located at 000 Xxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx., Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, in materially the
same form as the Subordination of Landlord’s Lien or equivalent document executed prior to such
date by such lessor with respect to such premises and delivered to the ABL Agent. If at any time
after the Issue Date the Grantors deliver to the ABL Agent any additional landlord waiver or access
agreement for any premises, the Grantors shall use reasonable best efforts to contemporaneously
therewith deliver to the Collateral Agent a Landlord’s Disclaimer and Consent or equivalent
document in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect to the same premises in materially the same
form as such landlord waiver or access agreement delivered to the ABL Agent.
(b) The Grantors shall use best efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent, on or prior to the
date that is (i) 45 days after the Issue Date, an authenticated Control Agreement, from JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A. with respect to account numbers 838725232, 0000000, 5111161, and 1005719 and (ii)
60 days after the Issue Date, an authenticated Control Agreement, from BB&T with respect to account
number 5104353519, in each case on terms substantively consistent with those of the form attached
hereto as Exhibit H; provided, however, that in the event the Grantors fail
to obtain such Control Agreements for such accounts by the date that is 120 days after the Issue
Date, the Grantors shall close such accounts and the balances, property or other assets therein
shall be immediately transferred to another Deposit Account or Securities Account of such Grantor
in respect of which an authenticated Control Agreement on terms substantively consistent with those
of the form attached hereto as Exhibit H has been obtained and will take such other actions
as necessary for the Collateral Agent’s security interests in such other Deposit Accounts or
Securities Accounts granted hereunder to be perfected by “control” (as such term is defined under
Articles 8 and 9 of the Code).
(c) Promptly after the Issue Date each applicable Grantor shall amend its limited liability
company operating agreement, partnership agreement, bylaws and other formation documents to remove
any references to a Credit Agreement dated February 26, 2003 among inter alia, Horizon Lines, LLC
and ABN AMRO Bank, N.V. as administrative agent.
38
(d) On or prior to the date that is 45 days after the Issue Date, the Grantors shall deliver
to Collateral Agent a certificate executed by an officer of the Company that includes a schedule
setting forth the model, model year, identification number and location of all CoT Chassis owned by
each Grantor, along with representations by the Company as to the accuracy in all material respects
of the information set forth on such schedule.
(e) Grantors shall (i) file all necessary applications (and pay all applicable filings fees
therefor) with the relevant domestic governmental authorities responsible for recording Liens on
the certificates of title with respect to CoT Chassis owned by the Grantors in Hawaii, Alaska,
Guam, Puerto Rico and Saipan (the “Specified Jurisdictions”; provided, however,
that the Specified Jurisdictions shall cease to include Guam and Saipan to the extent that Chassis
in such jurisdictions become surplus or held for sale) and/or (ii) take all such other steps as are
reasonably required and within such Grantor’s control, in each case to cause the Lien of Collateral
Agent on each such CoT Chassis in such Specified Jurisdictions to be noted on the certificate of
title of each such CoT Chassis (provided that where such Lien is a junior Lien, such Lien shall
only be noted where such notation is within the control of the Grantors); provided, that
Grantors shall have up to 150 days following the Issue Date to complete such filings, payments or
other steps required pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) with respect to any such CoT
Chassis owned by Grantors on the Issue Date (or, in the case of any CoT Chassis acquired by a
Grantor after the Issue Date, up to 120 days following its acquisition by such applicable Grantor);
provided, further, that no such filing, payment or other steps shall be required to
be completed or maintained with respect to any such CoT Chassis as soon as the number of CoT
Chassis with respect to which such filings, payments or other steps, as applicable, have been made,
together with the number of all Chassis then owned by the Grantors in the Specified Jurisdictions
other than CoT Chassis, equals or exceeds 70% of the number of all Chassis then owned by the
Grantors in the Specified Jurisdictions (and Collateral Agent shall cooperate with any request by
the Grantors to remove and release any Liens upon any such Chassis that the Grantors intend to sell
or otherwise dispose of reasonably promptly following such request, to the extent (but only to the
extent) that such sale or other disposition is permitted under the terms of the Note Documents and
that, subsequent to such sale or other disposition, the Grantors continue to satisfy the filing,
payment and other requirements of this sentence with respect to such number of CoT Chassis that,
together with all Chassis owned by the Grantors in the Specified Jurisdictions other than CoT
Chassis, equals or exceeds 70% of the number of all Chassis then owned by the Grantors in the
Specified Jurisdictions). To the extent that Sections 6 and 8 impose any
obligation on the Grantors to record Liens on certificates of title of Chassis, said Sections
6 and 8 shall not be construed to impose on the Grantors obligations to record Liens on
certificates of title of CoT Chassis in excess of such obligations imposed by the immediately
preceding sentence.
(f) Grantors agree following the date hereof to provide all such information available in the
books and records of Grantors relating to their real property interests in Anchorage, Alaska as of
the Issue Date as the Agent (or advisors to the Holders of the Notes as of the Issue Date,
“Advisors”) shall reasonably request to permit Agent (or the Advisors) to evaluate, and
Grantors agree to cooperate with Agent (or the Advisors) in evaluating, the feasibility of creating
and perfecting a Lien in favor of the Agent on such real property interests of the Grantors, and,
if and solely to the extent that the Agent (or the Advisors) and the Grantors (each acting
39
reasonably) mutually agree following such evaluation that creation and perfection of such Lien is feasible without incurring any expense beyond which are commercially reasonable
and that any necessary consents of third parties are reasonably likely to be obtained with the
exercise of commercially reasonable efforts (which, for the avoidance of doubt and for purposes of
this paragraph, shall not be deemed to include, in the good faith judgment of the Grantors, the
material modification of any rights or obligations, or the incurrence of any material obligations,
under the applicable leases or the expenditure of money in excess of commercially reasonable
amounts), the Grantors agree to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to create and perfect
such Lien. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to require any
Grantor to (i) cause the consent of any third party whose consent is necessary to create or perfect
such Lien to be obtained, (ii) unless otherwise mutually agreed on the terms described in the
preceding sentence, seek to obtain any such consent, or (iii) take any action for which such
consent would be required but has not been obtained.

original executed counterpart of this Joinder but the failure to deliver an original executed
counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Joinder.

corporation (the “
Issuer”),
Horizon Lines, Inc. (“
Parent”) and certain of Parent’s
subsidiaries party thereto as guarantors (together with the Issuer, individually and collectively,
“
Company”) and U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as Trustee
and Collateral Agent (as it may be amended from time to time, the “
Indenture”), pursuant to
which the Issuer has issued the Second Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “
Notes”);
and
(2) the Security and Pledge Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2011 among Company and U.S. Bank
National Association, a national banking association, as Collateral Agent (the “Agent”) (as
it may be amended from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), pursuant to which certain
obligations of Company in respect of the Notes and in respect of certain other indebtedness
permitted under the Indenture were secured by Company’s property including accounts, chattel paper,
commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, documents, equipment, farm products, general intangibles,
instruments, inventory, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, letters of credit, money,
books and records and any other personal property (collectively, the “Collateral”).
For other good and valuable consideration , a
(“Landlord”), hereby certifies and agrees for the benefit of Agent as follows:
1. Premises; Lease. Landlord owns certain premises, described in Exhibit A
attached hereto (the “Premises”) and has leased the Premises to Company pursuant to a lease
(the “Lease”). The Lease is in full force and effect and Company is not in default of any
provision of the Lease.
2. Disclaimer. Landlord does not own, and hereby releases and disclaims, any
interest, including any statutory or common law lien, in any Collateral. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, Landlord does not hereby disclaim any interest in fixtures and tenant
improvements which are necessary for the operation of the Premises as opposed to the operation of
Company’s business.
3. Agent Not Liable for Borrower’s Obligations. Landlord acknowledges that except as
set forth in Paragraph 6 hereof, Agent shall have no duty, obligation or liability whatsoever for
rent or otherwise with respect to the possession, occupancy or use of the Premises.
4. Agent’s Right to Occupy Premises. Landlord consents to any right of possession of
the Premises that Company may now or hereafter grant to Agent. In addition, notwithstanding any
cancellation or termination of the Lease, action to evict Company, or repossession of the
Premises, Landlord grants Agent the right to possess, occupy and use the Premises for purposes
of holding, processing, manufacturing, selling, using, storing, liquidating, realizing upon or
otherwise disposing of the Collateral, and for related and incidental purposes, for up to 120 days
from the date on which Landlord acquires possession of the Premises from Company through
cancellation or termination of the Lease, eviction or otherwise. Any extensions of the foregoing
period shall be with the written consent of Landlord and at the same rate of Rent (as defined in
Paragraph 6 below); except that Agent’s right to occupy the Premises pursuant to the foregoing
shall be automatically extended, at Agent’s request and subject to payment of the Rent (as defined
in Paragraph 6 below), for any period Agent is prohibited from exercising its rights to remove the
Collateral due to imposition of the automatic stay under the United States Bankruptcy Code or due
to any restriction or limitation under any other bankruptcy, insolvency or other law affecting the
rights of creditors.
5. Right to Cancel Lease. Subject to Paragraph 7 hereof, Landlord reserves in all
respects the right to cancel or terminate the Lease, for nonpayment of rent or otherwise, whether
or not Agent is in possession of the Premises.
6. Agent’s Obligations. If Agent takes possession of or occupies the Premises at any
time, Agent shall pay Rent (as defined below) to Landlord prorated for the period during which
Agent has possession of or occupies the Premises (but in any event not less than fifteen (15)
calendar days). In no event, however, shall Agent be obligated to pay Rent for any period to the
extent Company has paid Rent for such period. For the purposes of this Paragraph 6, “Rent” means
the amount of the base rent and common area charges owed by Company to Landlord under the Lease
prorated for the period during which Agent has possession of or occupies the Premises (but in any
event not less than fifteen (15) calendar days).
7. Notice to Agent. Landlord agrees to give Agent notice : (a) of any breach of the
Lease by Company, at the same time as Landlord shall give notice of such breach to Company; (b) of
any legal action which Landlord may commence to evict Company from the Premises or to terminate or
limit Company’s right to use, possess or lease the Premises, promptly upon the commencement of any
such action; (c) of any cancellation or termination of the Lease, at least 15 days before such
cancellation, stating the grounds for cancellation or termination; (d) of any change in the
ownership of the Premises and the name and address of each new owner of the Premises, at least 15
days before any such change in ownership; and (e) of the date Landlord acquires possession of the
Premises from Company through cancellation or termination of the Lease, eviction or otherwise.
Failure to give notice to Agent shall not give rise to any defense to Landlord’s action against
Company and shall not preclude Landlord from taking any action or obtaining any relief against
Company under the Lease. All notices to Agent shall be deemed given when received by Agent at:
U.S. Bank National Association
[ ]
Attention: [ ]
8. Miscellaneous. This Disclaimer and Consent shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of .
This Disclaimer and Consent may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. No failure on the part of
Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as
a waiver of such right, power or remedy; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or
the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. This Disclaimer and Consent expresses
completely, exclusively and finally all the agreements, conditions and covenants of the parties and
does not need evidence (written or oral) of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent statements or
representations (express or implied) to reflect the intentions of the parties. This Disclaimer and
Consent may not be supplemented or modified except in writing. This Disclaimer and Consent inures
to the benefit of Agent its participants, successors and assigns, and binds Landlord, and its
respective successors and assigns. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify any
successor or assign of the terms of this Disclaimer and Consent. This Disclaimer and Consent does
not imply a commitment to lend and shall be binding as long as any credit facility remains
outstanding, or any obligations of Company to Agent remain outstanding or are subject to being set
aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS DISCLAIMER AND CONSENT.

EXHIBIT H
Form of Control Agreement
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of October , 2011, by and among
(“Company”), Xxxxx Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“First Lien Agent”), U.S. Bank
National Association, not in its individual capacity, but solely as collateral agent for the
holders of the Company’s 11.00% First Lien Senior Secured Notes (in such capacity, “Second Lien

collectively referred to as “Agents”) and
(“Depositary”).
The parties hereto refer to Account No. in the name of Company maintained
at Depositary (the “Account”) and hereby agree as follows:
1.
(a) Company and Agents notify Depositary that by separate agreements Company has granted First
Lien Agent, Second Lien Agent, Third Lien Agent and Fourth Lien Agent each a security interest in
the Account and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary acknowledges being so
notified.
(b) As used herein, “Control Agent” shall mean First Lien Agent until the first Resignation
Effective Time hereunder effected by First Lien Agent pursuant to the terms of the following
sentence, at which time “Control Agent” shall mean Second Lien Agent until the second Resignation
Effective Time hereunder, at which time “Control Agent” shall mean Third Lien Agent until the third
Resignation Effective Time hereunder, at which time “Control Agent” shall mean Fourth Lien Agent.
For the purposes hereof, the “Resignation Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the
second Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which a notice purporting to be signed by
the applicable Control Agent (the “Resigning Agent”) in substantially the same form as Exhibit A,
attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (a “Resignation Notice”), is
actually received by the unit of Depositary (identified on the signature page hereto) to whom the
notice is required hereunder to be addressed; provided, however, that if any such notice is so
received after 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any Business Day, the Resignation Effective Time shall
be the opening of business on the third Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which such
receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a “Business Day” is any day other than a Saturday,
Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed. On and
after each Resignation Effective Time, Depositary shall cease honoring instructions from the
applicable Resigning Agent and begin honoring the instructions of the new Control Agent pursuant to
this Agreement. As of each Resignation Effective Time, the applicable Resigning Agent who triggered
such Resignation Effective Time will no longer be an Agent under this Agreement. All references
herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the
State of New York.
(c) Depositary hereby confirms that the Account is a demand deposit account maintained by

Agreement and the applicable Account Documentation, (i) Depositary is not currently entered
into any agreement with any person or entity pursuant to which Depositary is obligated to comply
with instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account and (ii) for the duration of the
Agreement Depositary shall not, without the prior written consent of Agents, enter into any
agreement with any other person or entity pursuant to which Depositary is obligated to comply with
instructions as to the disposition of funds from the Account.
2. Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) Depositary shall honor all withdrawal,
payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Company is entitled to
give under the Account Documentation (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “instructions”)
received from the Company (but not those from Agents) concerning the Account. On and after the
Effective Time (and without Company’s consent), Depositary shall honor all instructions received
from Control Agent (as defined above) (but not those from Company) concerning the Account and
Company shall have no right or ability to access or withdraw or transfer funds from the Account.
Depositary acknowledges that on and after the Effective Time Depositary will comply with
instructions originated by the Control Agent directing disposition of the funds in the Account
without further consent by Company.
For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second
Business Day next succeeding the Business Day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Control
Agent in substantially the same form as Exhibit B, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement
attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the unit of Depositary
(identified on the signature page hereto) to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed;
provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on any
Business Day, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the third Business Day next
succeeding the Business Day on which such receipt occurs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction
involving the Account duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Resignation
Effective Time and/or Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not
to constitute a violation of this Agreement; (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its
discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring Company’s instructions and/or
commence honoring solely Control Agent’s instructions concerning the Account at any time or from
time to time after it becomes aware that Control Agent has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but
prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or
redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice
to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified unit’s actual
receipt if otherwise actually received by Depositary (or if such Shifting Control Notice does not
comply with the form attached hereto as Exhibit B or does not attach an appropriate copy of this
Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to Company or any other party for doing so; and (iii)
Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) cease
honoring the applicable Resigning Agent’s instructions and/or commence honoring solely the new
Control Agent’s instructions concerning the Account at any time after it receives a Resignation
Notice from such Resigning Agent but prior to the Resignation Effective Time.
3. This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement,
terms and conditions and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to
the Account or services provided in connection with the Account (the “Account Documentation”),
which Account Documentation will continue to apply to the Account and such services, and
the
respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of
this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control). Prior to issuing any instructions on or after the Effective Time, Control Agent shall
provide Depositary with such documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the
identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of Control Agent. Control
Agent may request the Depositary to provide other services (such as automatic daily transfers) with
respect to the Account on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized
or otherwise covered under the Account Documentation, Depositary’s decision to provide any such
services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to
Company and Control Agent executing such Account Documentation or other documentation as Depositary
may require in connection therewith).
4.
(a) In the event that Depositary has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or
otherwise a security interest in the Account, Depositary hereby agrees that such security interest
shall be subordinate to that of the Agents and agrees not to exercise or claim any right of offset,
banker’s lien or other like right against the Account for so long as this Agreement is in effect
except with respect to (i) returned or charged-back items, reversals or cancellations of payment
orders and other electronic fund transfers or other corrections or adjustments to the Account or
transactions therein, (ii) overdrafts in the Account or (iii) Depositary’s charges, fees and
expenses with respect to the Account or the services provided hereunder.
(b) [Upon the occurrence of any of the items referred to in clauses (i)-(iii), inclusive, of
the preceding sentence (any such item, a “Returned Item”), Depositary shall first attempt to obtain
reimbursement therefor from the Account or the Company; however, if Depositary fails to obtain any
such reimbursement within 20 days after the occurrence of such Returned Item, then Control Agent
shall reimburse Depositary the amount of such Returned Item within 20 days after Control Agent’s
receipt of a written request therefor from Depositary (so long as such request is made within 60
days after any funds attributable to such Returned Item have been wire transferred to the Control
Agent’s account and in any event prior to termination of this Agreement); provided that the Control
Agent’s obligations under this sentence shall be limited to the aggregate amount transferred from
the Account on the instructions of the Control Agent (but only to the extent actually received by
the Control Agent and still in possession of Control Agent at the time of Depositary’s demand from
Control Agent) pursuant to this Agreement.]1
5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) Depositary shall have only
the duties and responsibilities with respect to the matters set forth herein as is expressly set
forth in writing herein and shall not be deemed to be an agent, bailee or fiduciary for any party
hereto; (ii) Depositary shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting in good faith
without investigation on any notice (including without limitation a Shifting Control Notice),
instruction or request purportedly furnished to it by Company or Control Agent in accordance with
the terms hereof, in which case the parties hereto agree that Depositary has no duty to make any
further inquiry whatsoever; (iii) it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that Depositary has no
knowledge of (and is not required to know) the terms and provisions of the separate agreements
referred to in paragraph 1 above or any other related documentation or whether any actions by
Agents (including without limitation the sending of a

|
Subject to negotiation between Agents and Depositary. |
Shifting Control Notice), Company or any other person or entity are permitted or a breach
thereunder or consistent or inconsistent therewith, (iv) Depositary shall not be liable to any
party hereto or any other person for any action or failure to act under or in connection with this
Agreement except to the extent such conduct constitutes its own breach, willful misconduct or
negligence (and to the maximum extent permitted by law, shall under no circumstances be liable for
any incidental, indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages); (v) Depositary shall not be
liable for losses or delays caused by force majeure, interruption or malfunction of computer,
transmission or communications facilities, labor difficulties, court order or decree, the
commencement of bankruptcy or other similar proceedings or other matters beyond Depositary’s
reasonable control.
6. [Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss,
liability or expense (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of
counsel) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement or the Account
(except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any
interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred as a result of following Company’s or Agents’
direction or instruction. Control Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless
Depositary against any Covered Items incurred (i) on or after the Effective Time in connection with
this Agreement or the Account (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or
negligence) or any interpleader proceeding related thereto as a result of following Control Agent’s
direction or instruction (including without limitation Depositary’s honoring of a Shifting Control
Notice) or (ii) due to any claim by Control Agent of an interest in the Account or the funds on
deposit therein. Company agrees to promptly reimburse the Control Agent for any amounts paid to
Depositary pursuant to the preceding sentence due to Company’s negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and for the avoidance of
doubt, the obligation of the Control Agent to indemnify or reimburse the Depositary under the terms
of this Agreement, shall be (i) an obligation of the Control Agent solely in its capacity as
administrative agent under the Credit Agreement or collateral agent under the applicable Indenture;
(ii) limited solely to funds available under the Credit Agreement or the applicable Indenture, at
any point in time; (iii) limited solely to the scope of the Control Agent’s request of the
Depositary; and (iv) not applicable in the event of negligent or intentional misconduct of the
Depositary. The obligation of the Control Agent to indemnify, or to reimburse or pay any amounts,
under the terms of this Agreement shall not be an obligation of Xxxxx Fargo Capital Finance, LLC or
U.S. Bank National Association in its individual or corporate capacities. No such indemnification,
reimbursement or other payment by the Control Agent shall prejudice its indemnification or other
rights against the Company under the provisions of the Credit Agreement or Indentures, as
applicable. For purposes herein, “Credit Agreement” shall mean the Credit Agreement between the
Company and the First Lien Agent; and “Indentures” shall mean collectively, the Indenture between
the Company and the Second Lien Agent with respect to the Company’s 11.00% First Lien Senior
Secured Notes, the Indenture between the Company and the Third Lien Agent with respect to the
Company’s Second Lien Senior Secured Notes and the Indenture between
Horizon Lines, Inc. and the
Third Lien Agent with respect to
Horizon Lines, Inc.’s Convertible Notes, in each case as any such
Credit Agreement or Indenture may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from
time to time.]

7. Depositary may terminate this Agreement (i) in its discretion upon the sending of at least
thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (ii) because of a material
breach by Company or Agents of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Account
Documentation, upon the sending of at least five (5) days advance written notice to the other
parties hereto. The Control Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this
Agreement upon the sending of at least three (3) days advance written notice to the other parties,
provided that Depositary may shorten or waive the requirement that the Control Agent’s notice be in
advance and any such shortening or waiver shall be binding on all parties. Without limiting the
rights of the Control Agent as set forth in the preceding sentence, each Agent, as to itself, prior
to the applicable Resignation Effective Time for such Agent, may at any time be released from the
Agreement with respect only to such Agent’s rights hereunder upon sending at least three (3) days
advance written notice to the other parties, provided that (i) in the event three of the four
Agents have been released from the Agreement the remaining Agent will no longer have the right to
send a Resignation Notice or be released from the Agreement but may terminate the Agreement upon
sending at least three (3) days advance written notice to the other parties, and (ii) Depositary
may shorten or waive the requirement that such Agent’s notice be in advance and any such shortening
or waiver shall be binding on all parties. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of
this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties
hereto. The provisions of paragraphs 4(b), 5 and 6 above shall survive any such termination or
resignation under paragraph 1(b) of this Agreement.

services provided hereunder in accordance with Depositary’s fee schedules from time to time in
effect. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Account.

hereto; and (iii) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of

of New York shall be deemed to be Depositary’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of
the UCC) and the Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. ALL PARTIES HEREBY
WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THE ACCOUNT OR THIS
AGREEMENT. All notices under this Agreement (i) shall be in writing and sent (including via
emailed pdf or similar file or facsimile transmission) to the parties hereto at their respective
addresses, email addresses or fax numbers set forth below (or to such other address, email address
or fax number as any such party shall designate in writing to the other parties from time to time.
