reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, management,
financial position, results of operations or prospects of LGEC and its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole or on the performance by the Grantors of the Secured Obligations.
(b) Schedule 9 hereto (i) lists all the trademarks registered by any Grantor on the date
hereof and identifies the Grantor which registered each such trademark and (ii) specifies as to
each, the jurisdictions in which such trademark has been issued or registered (or, if applicable,

registration or application numbers and applicable dates of registration or application and (iii)
specifies as to each, as applicable, material licenses, sublicenses and other material agreements
as of the date hereof (other than any agreements which relate to the exploitation of an item of
Product), to which any Grantor is a party and pursuant to which any Person, other than a Grantor,
is authorized to use such trademark. Each trademark set forth on Schedule 9 will be included on
Schedule A to the Trademark Security Agreement to be delivered to the Collateral Agent on or prior
to the Closing Date.
(c) All applications and registrations for all copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade
names and service names in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest are valid and in full
force and effect (other than (i) items of Product that, in the aggregate, account for no more than
10% of the total value of all items of Product listed on Schedule 7 and (ii) trademarks, service
marks, trade names and service names that in the aggregate are not material) and are not subject to
the payment of any taxes or maintenance fees or the taking of any other actions by the Grantors to
maintain their validity or effectiveness.
3.5. No Financing Statements, Security Agreements, Filing Requirements.
(a) No effective financing statement or security agreement describing all or any
portion of the Collateral which has not lapsed or been terminated naming such Grantor as debtor has
been filed or is of record in any jurisdiction except (a) for financing statements or security
agreements naming the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as the secured party and
(b) as permitted by Sections 4.1(d) and 4.1(e).

Equity Interests being pledged hereunder. Each Pledgor (i) is the legal and beneficial owner of,
and has sole right, title and interest to, the Pledged Securities owned by such Pledgor, free and
clear of all Liens, security interests or other encumbrances whatsoever, except the security
interests created by this Security Agreement and the other Fundamental Documents, and the Liens in
connection with the Existing Credit Agreement and (ii) has sole right and power to pledge, and
grant the security interest in, and Lien upon, such Pledged Securities pursuant to this Security
Agreement without the consent of any Person or Governmental Authority whatsoever other than any
such consent which shall have been obtained on or before the Effective Date.
(b) All of the Pledged Securities are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
(c) Except for contractual restrictions disclosed on Schedule 10 and restrictions created
herein or under applicable securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder, there are no
restrictions on the transfer of any of the Pledged Securities. Except for restrictions under
applicable securities laws and the regulations promulgated thereunder, there are no restrictions on
the transfer of any of the Pledged Securities which would limit the ability of the Collateral Agent
to foreclose upon and dispose of any of the Pledged Securities upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default.

4.1. General.
(a) Authorization to File Financing Statements; Ratification. Such Grantor

may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in order to maintain a
perfected security interest that is prior to all other Liens except for Permitted Prior Liens in
and, if applicable and required hereunder, Control of, the Collateral owned by such Grantor. Any
financing statement filed by such Grantor may be filed in any filing office in any UCC or PPSA
jurisdiction and may (i) indicate such Grantor’s Collateral (1) as all assets of the Grantor or
words of similar effect, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral

12
jurisdiction, or (2) by any other description which reasonably approximates the description
contained in this Security Agreement, and (ii) contain any other information required by part 5 of
Article 9 of the UCC, or by the PPSA, for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any
financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organization identification number issued to such Grantor. Such Grantor also
agrees to furnish any such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request. Such Grantor
also ratifies the filing in any UCC or PPSA jurisdiction of any initial financing statements or
amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof. Each Grantor agrees to deliver a
file-stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of filing made pursuant to
this Security Agreement to the Collateral Agent.
(b) Further Assurances. Such Grantor will, if reasonably so requested by
the Collateral Agent, furnish to the Collateral Agent statements and schedules further identifying
and describing the Collateral owned by it and such other reports and information in connection with
its Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in such detail as the Collateral
Agent may reasonably specify. Such Grantor also agrees to take any and all actions reasonably
requested by the Collateral Agent and necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all
persons and to defend the security interest of the Collateral Agent in its Collateral and the
priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.
(c) Disposition of Collateral. Such Grantor will not sell, lease or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral owned by it except for such dispositions and other transactions
permitted pursuant to the Indenture.

Indenture.
(e) Other Financing Statements. Such Grantor will not authorize the filing
of any financing statement naming it as debtor covering all or any portion of the Collateral owned
by it, except to cover Liens as permitted by Section 4.1(d).

Grantor will perform and comply with all obligations in respect of the Collateral owned by it and
all agreements to which it is a party relating to the Collateral or by which it is bound relating

hereto as an additional Grantor (each such Affiliate of the Company, an “Additional
Grantor”) by executing and delivering an Instrument of Assumption and Joinder along with
supplements to the Exhibits to this Security Agreement necessary to reflect additional Collateral
provided by the Additional Grantor. Upon the due execution and delivery of any Instrument of
Assumption and Joinder to the Collateral Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by the Grantors,
each such Additional Grantor shall be deemed a Grantor hereunder and shall be as fully a party
hereto as if such Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly
agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be discharged, diminished or otherwise
affected (a) by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, (b) by any failure by the
Company or any Grantor to cause any Subsidiary of the Company to become an Additional Grantor or a
Grantor hereunder or (c) by reason of the Collateral Agent’s or any of the other Secured Parties’
actions in effecting, or failure to effect, any Instrument of Assumption and Joinder, or in
releasing any Grantor hereunder, in each case, without the necessity of giving notice to or
obtaining the consent of any other Grantor. This Security Agreement shall be fully effective as to
any
13
Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or
fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
4.2. Maintenance of Collateral. Such Grantor will keep its tangible properties which
are material to its business in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear
excepted) unless such Grantor determines in good faith that the continued maintenance of such
properties is not economically desirable and, from time to time (i) make all necessary and proper
repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and (ii) comply at all times
with the provisions of all material leases and other material agreements to which it is a party so
as to prevent any loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder unless compliance therewith is being
currently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and appropriate reserves have been
established in accordance with GAAP.
4.3. Delivery of Certain Pledged Collateral. Such Grantor will (a) deliver to the
Collateral Agent promptly upon execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the originals of
all certificated Equity Interests constituting Collateral, (b) hold in trust for the Collateral
Agent upon receipt and promptly thereafter deliver to the Collateral Agent any such certificated
Equity Interests in any Subsidiary constituting Collateral received after the date hereof and (c)
furnish to the Collateral Agent a description of each Excluded Beneficial Interest acquired by such
Grantor following the Effective Date, no later than 180 days after the acquisition of such Excluded
Beneficial Interests.

owner of the Pledged Securities being pledged by it hereunder or any part thereof for any purpose
not inconsistent with the terms hereof, at all times, except as expressly provided in paragraph (c)
below.
(b) All dividends or distributions of any kind whatsoever (other than cash dividends or
distributions paid while no Event of Default is continuing) received by a Grantor, whether
resulting from a subdivision, combination, or reclassification of the outstanding capital stock of
the issuer or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof or as a result of any
merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other exchange of assets to which the issuer may be a party,
or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Securities pledged hereunder and shall
immediately be delivered to the Collateral Agent to be held subject to the terms hereof. All
dividends and distributions which are received contrary to the provisions of this subsection (b)
shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, segregated from such Grantor’s
own assets, and shall be delivered to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and notice from the
Collateral Agent of the transfer of such rights to the Collateral Agent, all rights of a Pledgor
(i) to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which it is entitled to exercise
pursuant to this Section and (ii) to receive and retain cash dividends and distributions shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and
receive such cash dividends and distributions until such time as such Event of Default has been
cured.
4.5. Insurance.
(a) All insurance policies required hereunder and under Section 4.18(b) of the Indenture in
respect of property or casualty shall name the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Collateral

14

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
(b) All premiums on any such insurance shall be paid when due by such Grantor, and, if
reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, copies of the policies shall be delivered to the
Collateral Agent. If such Grantor fails to obtain any insurance as required by this Section, the
Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance at such Grantor’s expense. By purchasing such
insurance, the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any Default arising from the
Grantor’s failure to maintain such insurance or pay any premiums therefor.
4.6. Intellectual Property.
(a) As soon as practicable (but in the case of an item of Product, in no event later than 60
days after the initial release or broadcast of such item of Product, and in the case of a
screenplay, in no event later than the date on which the Grantors must comply with clause (6) of
Section 5.20 of the Existing Credit Agreement with respect to the item of Product to be based on
such screenplay), to the extent (i) any Grantor is or becomes the copyright proprietor thereof or
otherwise acquires a copyrightable interest and (ii) any Grantor acquires any material trademark,
service xxxx, trade name or service name, any such Grantor shall take any and all actions necessary
to register the copyright for such item of Product or such trademark, service xxxx, trade name or
service name, in the name of such Grantor (subject to a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent for
the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Copyright Security Agreement and the Trademark
Security Agreement) in conformity with the laws of the United States, Canada and such other
jurisdictions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably specify, and immediately deliver to the
Collateral Agent (i) written evidence of the registration of any and all such copyrights for
inclusion in the Collateral under this Security Agreement and (ii) a Copyright Security Agreement
Supplement or a Trademark Security Agreement Supplement relating to such item or such trademark,
service xxxx, trade name or service name, executed by such Grantor.
(b) Each Grantor shall obtain instruments of transfer or other documents evidencing the
interest of such Grantor with respect to the copyright relating to items of Product in which such
Grantor is not entitled to be the initial copyright proprietor and any trademark, service xxxx,
trade name or service name which such Grantor acquires, and promptly record such instruments of
transfer on the United States Copyright Register or the United States Trademark Register and such
other jurisdictions as the Collateral Agent may specify.
4.7 Commercial Tort Claims. Such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent
of any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) as to which it determines that it reasonably
expects to recover more than $10.0 million acquired by it and, unless the Collateral Agent
otherwise consents, such Grantor shall enter into an amendment to this Security Agreement, in the
form of Exhibit K hereto, granting to Collateral Agent a security interest that is prior to
all other Liens except for Permitted Prior Liens in such commercial tort claim.
4.8. Change of Name or Location. Such Grantor shall not (a) change its name as it
appears in official filings in the state or province or other jurisdiction of its incorporation or
organization, (b) change its chief executive office or principal place of business, (c) change the
type of entity that it is, (d) change its organization identification number, if any, issued by its
state of incorporation or other organization, or (e) change its state or province or other
jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, in each case, unless the Collateral Agent shall have
received 15 days’ prior written notice of such change (or such shorter period as shall be
reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). The Collateral Agent may, within five days of
receipt of such notice, in its reasonable discretion, request any reasonable action in connection
with such change (including any action to continue the perfection of any Liens in favor of the
Collateral
Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in any Collateral owned by such Grantor).
15
4.9. Distribution Agreements; Acceptable L/C’s. (a) Deliver to the Collateral Agent
to be held as part of the Collateral, promptly upon receipt thereof, the originals of all
Acceptable L/C’s (including any amendments thereto) which are received by such Grantor (whether
pursuant to a Distribution Agreement or otherwise) after the date hereof.
(b) Furnish to the Collateral Agent quarterly (i) a list in the form of Schedule 11 hereto of
all material Distribution Agreements executed during the preceding quarter and all material
amendments to existing Distribution Agreements which amendments were executed during the preceding
quarter and (ii) copies of all Notices of Assignment and Irrevocable Instructions executed during
the preceding quarter.
(c) From time to time (i) furnish to the Collateral Agent such information and reports
regarding the Distribution Agreements to which such Grantor is a party as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request and (ii) upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default and the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, make to the other parties to a Distribution Agreement
to which such Grantor is a party such demands and requests for information and reports or for
action as such Grantor is entitled to make under each such Distribution Agreement.
(d) Take all action on its part to be performed necessary to effect timely payments under all
Acceptable L/C’s, including, without limitation, timely preparation, acquisition and presentation
of all documents, drafts or other instruments required to effect payment thereunder.
4.10 ULC/Partnership Interests. Notwithstanding the grant of the security interest set
out in Article II and the transfer of any right, title or interest in the Pledged Securities, the
applicable Grantor shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of all
ULC/Partnership Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as
such ULC/Partnership Interests are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or
any other Person on the books and records of such ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to
sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. Nothing in this Security Agreement is intended to or
shall constitute the Collateral Agent, any of the Secured Parties, or any other Person other than
the applicable Grantor as a shareholder or member of any ULC/Partnership until such time as notice
is given to such ULC/Partnership and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the
Collateral Agent or any other Person as the holder of the ULC/Partnership Interests of such
ULC/Partnership upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership
Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder. To
the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any
other Person as a shareholder or member of a ULC/Partnership prior to such time, such provision
shall be severed therefrom and ineffective with respect to the ULC/Partnership Interests of such
ULC/Partnership without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable this Security Agreement
or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged
Securities which are not ULC/Partnership Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or
otherwise dispose of ULC/Partnership Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default hereunder, the Debtor shall not cause or permit, or enable any
ULC/Partnership in which it holds ULC/Partnership Interests to cause or permit, the Collateral
Agent to: (a) be registered as a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (b) have any
notation entered in its favour in the share register of such ULC/Partnership; (c) be held out as a
shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends,
property or other distributions from such ULC/Partnership by reason of the Collateral Agent holding
a security interest in such ULC/Partnership; or (e) act as a shareholder or member of such
ULC/Partnership, or exercise any rights of a shareholder or member of such ULC/Partnership
including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such
16
ULC/Partnership.
4.11 Designation of Partnership and LLC Interests. No Canadian Grantor shall become a
partner of any partnership or member of any limited liability company (as defined in the STA)
unless the applicable partnership agreement, constating documents or other terms of interest and
any unit certificate specifically state that such interest is a “security” for the purposes of the
STA.
4.12 Laboratories; Laboratory Access Letters; Pledgeholder Agreements
(a) To the extent any Grantor has control over, or rights to receive, any of the Physical
Materials relating to any item of Product, such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to deliver or cause to be delivered to a Laboratory or Laboratories all negative and preprint
material, master tapes and all sound track materials with respect to each such item of Product and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent a fully executed
Pledgeholder Agreement with respect to such materials. To the extent that any Grantor has only
rights of access to preprint material or master tapes and has not created duplicate materials
sufficient to exploit its rights and has not stored such duplicate materials at a Laboratory that
has delivered a Pledgeholder Agreement to the Collateral Agent, then such Grantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Collateral Agent a fully executed Laboratory
Access Letter covering such materials. With respect to each item of Product listed on Schedule 7
which is subject to an existing Pledgeholder Agreement or Laboratory Access Letter, any Grantor
that owns or has an interest in each such item of Product shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to furnish to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, (i) either a new
Pledgeholder Agreement or new Laboratory Access Letter (as applicable) or a supplement to an
existing Pledgeholder Agreement or Laboratory Access Letter (as applicable) with respect to each
such item of Product, in each instance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and together with a written confirmation from each Laboratory of all of the
Physical Materials in its possession and (ii) a list of the location of the best available Physical
Materials with respect to each such item of Product. The Collateral Agent may, in its sole
discretion, waive the preceding requirements with respect to any nonmaterial item of Product.
(b) Prior to requesting any Laboratory that is a party to a Pledgeholder Agreement or
Laboratory Access Letter to which the Collateral Agent is a party to deliver negative or other
preprint or sound track material or master tapes to another Laboratory, such Grantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Collateral Agent with a Pledgeholder Agreement or
Laboratory Access Letter, as appropriate, executed by such other Laboratory and all other parties
to such Pledgeholder Agreement or Laboratory Access Letter (including the Collateral Agent).
(c) No Grantor shall deliver or remove or cause the delivery or removal of the original
negative and film or sound materials or master tapes with respect to any item of Product owned by
such Grantor or in which such Grantor has an interest (i) to a location outside the United States
or Canada or such other jurisdiction as may be approved by the Collateral Agent in its discretion
or (ii) to any state or jurisdiction where UCC-1, CCQ or PPSA financing statements (or in the case
of jurisdictions outside the United States and Canada, documentation similar in purpose and effect
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent) have not been filed against such Grantor, in either case
unless such Grantor has caused duplicates of such original negative and film or sound materials or
master tapes to remain in either (x) a location in the United States or Canada or such other
jurisdiction as may be approved by the Collateral Agent in its discretion or (y) any state or
jurisdiction where UCC-1, CCQ or PPSA financing statements (or in the case of jurisdictions outside
the United States and Canada, documentation similar in purpose and effect satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent) have been filed against such Grantor.
17
(d) With respect to items of Product Completed after the Closing Date, such Grantor shall, on
at least a quarterly basis, deliver to the Collateral Agent and the Laboratories which are
signatories to Pledgeholder Agreements a revised schedule of Product on deposit with such
Laboratories.
(e) With respect to each item of Product or seasonal order of a television series for which
any Grantor has Production Exposure in excess of U.S.$20,000,000, each such Grantor shall deliver
to the Collateral Agent, (i) in the case of an item of Product being produced by or under the
control of each such Grantor, to the extent not already covered by an existing Pledgeholder
Agreement, executed Pledgeholder Agreement(s) with respect to such item of Product, not later than
five (5) days prior to the commencement of principal photography of such item of Product or such
earlier date on which the first Borrowing is made with respect to such item of Product under a
Special Production Tranche; provided, however, that if a Grantor has granted a Lien in such item of
Product to secure outside financing in accordance with clause (6) of Section 4.12 of the Indenture,
no Pledgeholder Agreement shall be required until such time as the outside production financier has
released such Lien; or (ii) in the case of an item of Product being acquired from a third party or
through a co-production which is not controlled by a Grantor, to the extent not already covered by
an existing Laboratory Access Letter, executed Laboratory Access Letter(s) with respect to such
item of Product, not later than five (5) days prior to payment by any Grantor of any portion of the
cost of such item of Product (other than a down payment of 10% or less of the Production Exposure
for an item of Product).
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.12, the Grantors shall only be
required to enter into Pledgeholder Agreements and Laboratory Access Letters to the extent required
in accordance with the terms of Section 12.02(a) of the Indenture.
4.13 Contribution Agreement. A Contribution Agreement shall be delivered to the
Collateral Agent prior to the Closing Date, duly executed by all the Contributors listed on the
signature pages thereof.
ARTICLE V
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
5.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any “Event of Default” under, and as
defined in, the Indenture shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral
Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:
(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the
Indenture, or any other Collateral Document; provided that, this Section 5.2(a)
shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;
(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC
(whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable
law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of
setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;
18
(iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Deposit
Account Control Agreement or other control agreement with any securities intermediary and
take any action therein with respect to such Collateral;
(iv) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or
elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person,
enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located to collect, receive,
assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase
or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one
or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or
continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s
premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any
credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially
reasonable;
(v) with respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on
demand, to cause the security interest granted herein to become an assignment, transfer and
conveyance of any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral
Agent or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an
exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout the world on such terms
and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably determine (other
than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers
thereunder cannot be obtained); and
(vi) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and
register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged
Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged
Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, and to
exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and
receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to
otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the
outright owner thereof.
(b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall comply with any applicable
state, provincial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral
and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale
of the Collateral.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any public sale or sales and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of
any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.
(d) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of
Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part
thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its
value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent
may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral
and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and
the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such
appointment.
19
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Secured Parties shall
be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies
against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the
payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with
respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the
Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such
guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.
(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of
any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales
thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any
private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale
were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall
not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale
being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the
Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the
Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer
would agree to do so.
5.3. Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:
(a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and
records relating thereto at any place or places specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a
Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;
(b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to
enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and
records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the
Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the
Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the
Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy;
(c) prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration
statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as
the Collateral Agent may request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent,
and furnish to the Collateral Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the
Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Collateral
Agent may specify;
(d) upon receipt by it of any revenue, income, profits or other sums in which a security
interest is granted by this Security Agreement, payable pursuant to any agreement or otherwise, or
of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any
such sum, hold the sum or instrument in trust for the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties), segregate such sum or instrument from their own assets
and forthwith, without any notice, demand or other action whatsoever (all notices, demands, or
other actions on the part of the Collateral Agent being expressly waived), endorse, transfer and
deliver any such sums or instruments or both, to the Collateral Agent to be applied in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof; and
20
(e) take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to
register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public
sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral.

one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral
or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to
give the Collateral Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral, and (xvi) to do all other acts and
things necessary to carry out this Security Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the
Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in
connection with any of the foregoing to the extent such reimbursement is required by Section 7.07
of the Indenture; provided that, this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any
of its obligations under this Security Agreement
or under the Indenture.
(b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers
conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties,
under this Section 6.1 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and
shall not
21
impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.
The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it under
this Section unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
6.2. Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL
AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS
PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF
SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE
APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO
EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED
COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS,
CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE
EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY
SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE
ISSUER OF SUCH PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), ONLY UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND
DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF A DEFAULT AND UPON PRIOR WRITTEN NOTICE TO THE GRANTORS.
6.3. Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL
AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VI IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE
IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 8.14. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY
SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR
REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE
OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING
SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL

ARTICLE VII
COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS; DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS
7.1. Existing Collection Accounts; Covenant Regarding New Collection
Accounts.
(a) For each existing Collection Account of which the Administrative Agent has control or with
respect to which the Administrative Agent is a party to a control or similar agreement, each
Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a
Deposit Account Control Agreement for each such Collection Account on or before the sixtieth day
after the Effective Date (or such later date as agreed to by the Collateral Agent in its sole
discretion).
(b) Before opening or replacing any Collection Account, each Grantor shall cause each bank or
financial institution in which it seeks to open such a Collection Account, to enter into a
22
Deposit Account Control Agreement with the Collateral Agent in order to give the Collateral Agent
Control of such Deposit Account.
7.2. Application of Proceeds; Deficiency. If an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall require all other cash proceeds of the
Collateral to be deposited in a special non-interest bearing cash collateral account with the
Collateral Agent and held there as security for the Secured Obligations. No Grantor shall have any
control whatsoever over said cash collateral account. Any such proceeds of the Collateral shall be
applied in the order set forth in the Indenture unless a court of competent jurisdiction shall
otherwise direct. The balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied,
shall be returned to the Company by the Collateral Agent. The Grantors shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all
Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Collateral Agent
or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
ARTICLE VIII
GENERAL PROVISIONS
GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1. Waivers. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Grantor
hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private
sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such
notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent
to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article IX, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of
any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be
made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages,
and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession,
retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and
irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert
against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension,
moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety
now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any
Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of
sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any
Collateral.
8.2. Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to
the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare
the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with
respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor
any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in
the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, or
any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights
pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to
exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it
may be commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed
significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform
raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition,
(ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by applicable law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party
consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to
fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens on or any
23
adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account
Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection
agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized
nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for
expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or
more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the
Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites
that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the
reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of
assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as
title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure
the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide
to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or
(xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other
brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in
the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose
of this Section 8.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the
Collateral Agent may be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies
against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be
deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 8.2.
Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall be construed to
grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have
been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this
Section 8.2.
8.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the
Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted
by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or
become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in
litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be
recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the
Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable
such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any
Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent may be commercially reasonable so long as
the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any
such action.
8.4. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any
obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay
in this Security Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts
paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 8.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse
the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on
demand.
8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges
and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(c), 4.3, 4.4,
4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 5.3 or 8.7 or in Article VII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at
law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral
Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the
Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the
Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be
specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
24
8.6. Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 4.1(c) and notwithstanding any
course of dealing between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent or other conduct of the Collateral
Agent, no authorization to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in
Section 4.1(c)) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties unless such
authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent.
8.7. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security
Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an
acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No
waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security
Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Grantors and the Collateral
Agent and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies
contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be
available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been
paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made).
8.8. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies
and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the
exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this
Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that
may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this
Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or
in part. Any provision in any this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative,
unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the
operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end
the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.
8.9. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for
liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the
benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any
significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part
thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,”
“fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.
In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned,
the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so
rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
8.10. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and
the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all persons
who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the
right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any
interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of
participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the
Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any
25
manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and the Secured Parties, hereunder.
8.11. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of
each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Security Agreement.
8.12. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes (including income taxes) payable or
ruled payable by federal, state or provincial authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall
be paid by the Grantors. The parties hereto agree that Collateral Agent shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section
7.07 of the Indenture.
8.13. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security
Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of
the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
8.14. Termination or Release.
(a) This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that
from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Indenture has
terminated or defeased pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations (other
than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been
indefeasibly paid and performed in full.
(b) Reference is made to Section 12.04 of the Indenture, which shall govern releases of the
Second-Priority Liens on the Collateral.
8.15. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with the
Indenture and other Collateral Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between
the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the
Collateral.
8.16. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND, IN THE CASE OF PROVISIONS
RELATING TO INTEREST RATES, ANY APPLICABLE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
8.17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO
THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW
YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE
INDENTURE, AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT
MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A
COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE
COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH GRANTOR OR ITS ASSETS MAY BE FOUND.
26
8.18. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW
WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH GRANTOR, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER
SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE INDENTURE OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.
8.19. Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify the Collateral
Agent and each Secured Party as provided in Section 7.07 of the Indenture and elsewhere under the
terms thereof.
8.20. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement, and any of the parties
hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
8.21. Quiet Enjoyment. The Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured
Parties) acknowledges and agrees that the security interest hereunder is subject to the rights of
Quiet Enjoyment (as defined below) of parties (which are not Affiliates of any Grantor) to
Distribution Agreements, whether existing on the date hereof or hereafter executed. For the
purpose hereof, “Quiet Enjoyment” shall mean in connection with the rights of a licensee
(which is not an Affiliate of any Grantor) under a Distribution Agreement, the Collateral Agent’s
(on behalf of the Secured Parties) agreement that its rights under this Security Agreement and the
other Fundamental Documents and in the Collateral are subject to the rights of such licensee to
distribute, exhibit and/or to exploit the item of Product licensed to them under such Distribution
Agreement, and to receive prints or tapes or have access to preprint material or master tapes in
connection therewith and that even if the Collateral Agent or any of the Secured Parties shall
become the owner of the Collateral in case of an Event of Default, their ownership rights shall be
subject to the rights of said parties under such agreement, provided, however, that no default
under the relevant Distribution Agreement shall be continuing which would entitle the licensor to
terminate such Distribution Agreement. The Collateral Agent agrees that, upon the reasonable
request of a Grantor, it will provide written confirmation (in form reasonably acceptable to the
Collateral Agent) of such rights of Quiet Enjoyment to licensees under the Distribution Agreements.
None of the foregoing constitutes an agreement by the Collateral Agent to the granting of any
security interest to any Person under any Distribution Agreement, except as otherwise permitted
pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture or under the definition of Permitted Liens.
8.22. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Security Agreement, the Liens, security interests and rights granted pursuant to
this Security Agreement or any other Collateral Document with respect to the Common Collateral (as
such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) shall be as set forth in, and subject to the
terms and conditions of (and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder
or thereunder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of), the Intercreditor Agreement. In
the event of a conflict between this Security Agreement and any other Collateral Document, this
Security Agreement shall govern. In the event of any conflict between this Security Agreement and
any other Collateral Document, on the one hand, and the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand,
the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, and no right, power, or remedy granted to the Collateral
Agent hereunder or under any other Collateral Document shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent,
and no direction shall be given by the Collateral Agent in contravention of the Intercreditor
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent (and the
Secured Parties) shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and, with
respect to any Common Collateral, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date (as such term
is defined in the
27
Intercreditor Agreement), any obligation of the Company and any other Grantor
hereunder or under any other Collateral Document with respect to the delivery or control of any
Common Collateral, the novation of any lien on any certificate of title, xxxx of lading or other
document, the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person, the provision of voting rights or
the obtaining of any consent of any Person shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Company or such
Grantor, as applicable, complies with the requirements of the similar provision of the applicable
First Priority Document (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement). Until the First
Priority Obligations Payment Date, the delivery of any Common Collateral to, or the Control of any
Common Collateral by, the First Priority Representative (as such term is defined in the
Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the First Priority Documents shall satisfy any delivery or
Control requirement hereunder or under any other Collateral Document. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this section, certain Additional Intercreditor Agreements may grant to the lenders
party thereto a first priority security interest in certain types of Collateral designated in the
terms of those Additional Intercreditor Agreements, and each such Additional Intercreditor
Agreement shall remain in effect and the terms thereof shall control until the indebtedness
described in such Additional Intercreditor Agreement is repaid and no further obligations need be
performed thereunder, or such Additional Intercreditor Agreement is otherwise terminated.
8.23. Grantor Acknowledgement. Each Grantor acknowledges receipt of a true copy of
this Security Agreement.

ARTICLE X
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
U.S. Bank National Association has been appointed Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties
hereunder pursuant to the Indenture. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this
Security Agreement that any authority conferred upon the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to
the terms of the delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Indenture, and that the Collateral Agent has agreed to act (and any successor
Collateral Agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions contained in the
Indenture. Any successor Collateral Agent appointed pursuant to the Indenture shall be entitled to
all the rights, interests and benefits of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have
no duty as to the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any
agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any
other rights pertaining
28
thereto and the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for filing any
financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office
at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest
in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the
custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially
equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any
carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith.
Notwithstanding anything in this Security Agreement to the contrary and for the avoidance of
doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to act outside of the United States in respect of
any Collateral located in any jurisdiction other than the United States.
Each of the Grantors hereby acknowledges and agrees that all of the rights, privileges,
