If any Pledgor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and, at the request of the Secured Party, shall take such action as the Secured Party may reasonably request to vest in the Secured Party control under New York UCC Section 9-105 of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Secured Party agrees with such Pledgor that the Secured Party will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably

satisfactory to the Secured Party and so long as such procedures will not result in the Secured Party’s loss of control, for the Pledgor to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under New York UCC Section 9-105 or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Pledgor with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

5.12 Letter-of-Credit Rights. If any Pledgor is at any time a beneficiary under any letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Pledgor in amounts in the aggregate for all Pledgors in excess of $50,000, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof and such Pledgor shall, at the request of the Secured Party, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letters of credit to consent to an assignment to the Secured Party of the proceeds of any drawing under such letters of credit or (ii) arrange for the Secured Party to become the transferee beneficiary of such letters of credit, with the Secured Party agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under such letters of credit are to be applied as provided in the Debenture.

5.13 Commercial Tort Claims. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire any Commercial Tort Claim which might reasonably result in awarded damages (less any and all legal and other expenses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by such Pledgor) in excess of $50,000, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Secured Party in writing signed by such Pledgor of the brief details thereof and grant to the Secured Party in such writing a security interest therein and in the Proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party.

5.14 Vehicles. Upon the reasonable request of the Secured Party, within 30 days after the date of such request and, with respect to any Vehicle acquired by such Pledgor subsequent to the date of any such request (until such request is withdrawn by the Secured Party), within 30 days after the date of acquisition thereof, such Pledgor shall file all applications for certificates of title or ownership indicating the Secured Party’s first priority security interest in the Vehicle covered by such certificate and any other necessary documentation, in each office in each jurisdiction that the Secured Party shall deem advisable to perfect its security interests in the Vehicles.

5.15 Notice of Creation or Acquisition of Additional Collateral. Borrower shall, within five Business Days of any request from the Secured Party, furnish the Secured Party with a report listing the following:

(g) all applications for and registration received by any Pledgor in respect of any Intellectual Property;

(h) any Letter of Credit Rights acquired by any Pledgor;

(i) any Commercial Tort Claims acquired by any Pledgor, and

(j) any Vehicles acquired by any Pledgor.

5.16 Subordination. Each Pledgor hereby agrees that any indebtedness of any other Pledgor now or hereafter owing to such Pledgor, whether heretofore, now or hereafter created (the “Pledgor Subordinated Debt”), is hereby subordinated to all of the Obligations to the extent set forth in this Section. From and after the receipt by the Secured Party of a notice that (i) a Default has occurred and continuing and (ii) that the Secured Party is exercising its rights under this is Section (a “Notice of Actionable Default”) and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, the Pledgor Subordinated Debt shall not be paid in whole or in part until the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement is terminated and of no further force or effect. No Pledgor shall accept any payment of or on account of any Pledgor Subordinated Debt at any time in contravention of the foregoing or the Debenture. From and after the delivery by the Secured Party of a Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, each Pledgor shall pay to the Secured Party any payment of all or any part of the Pledgor Subordinated Debt and any amount so paid to the Secured Party shall be applied to payment of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party may elect. Each payment on the Pledgor Subordinated Debt received in violation of any of the provisions hereof shall be deemed to have been received by such Pledgor as trustee for the Secured Party and shall be paid over to the Secured Party immediately on account of the Obligations, but without otherwise affecting in any manner such Pledgor’s liability herein. Each Pledgor agrees to file all claims against any Pledgor in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in respect of any Pledgor Subordinated Debt, and the Secured Party shall be entitled to all of such Pledgor’s rights thereunder. If for any reason a Pledgor fails to file such claim at least ten Business Days prior to the last date on which such claim should be filed, such Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and is hereby authorized to act as attorney-in-fact in such Pledgor’s name

to file such claim or, in the Secured Party’s discretion, to assign such claim to and cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay such claim shall pay to the Secured Party the full amount payable on the claim in the proceeding, and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Pledgor hereby assigns to the Secured Party all of such Pledgor’s rights to any payments or distributions to which such Pledgor otherwise would be entitled. If the amount so paid is greater than such Pledgor’s liability hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Secured Party shall pay the excess amount to the party entitled thereto. In addition, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Secured Party as its attorney in fact to exercise all of such Pledgor’s voting rights (other than in its capacity as a debtor or a debtor in possession) in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding or any plan for the reorganization of any Pledgor. Each Pledgor which is an obligor on any Pledgor Subordinated Debt hereby consents to the provisions of this section and agrees to be bound by them.

SECTION 6

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables. (a) The Secured Party shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Pledgor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Secured Party may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time, upon the Secured Party’s request and at the expense of the relevant Pledgor, such Pledgor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Secured Party to furnish to the Secured Party reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(b) The Secured Party hereby authorizes each Pledgor to collect such Pledgor’s Receivables, and the Secured Party may curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If required by the Secured Party at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Pledgor, (i) shall be immediately (and, in any event, within two Business Days) deposited by such Pledgor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Pledgor to the Secured Party if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Secured Party, subject to withdrawal by the Secured Party only as provided in Section 6.5, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of such Pledgor. Each such deposit of payments of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Secured Party’s request, each Pledgor shall deliver to the Secured Party all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and

transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Pledgors Remain Liable. (a) The Secured Party in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Secured Party’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables.

(b) Upon the request of the Secured Party at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Secured Party and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Secured Party.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Pledgor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and all other contracts included in the Collateral to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. The Secured Party shall not have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or other contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) or other contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3 Pledged Investments. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Secured Party shall have given notice to the relevant Pledgor of the Secured Party’s intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(a), each Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and all cash payments made in respect of the Pledged Debt, in each case paid in the normal course of business of the relevant Issuer and consistent with past practice, to the extent permitted in the Debenture, and to exercise all voting and corporate or other rights with respect to the Pledged Investments; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other right exercised or other action taken which, in the Secured Party’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Debenture, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Secured Party shall give notice of its intent to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) to the relevant Pledgor or Pledgors, (i) the Secured Party shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Investments and make application thereof to the Obligations in such order as the

Secured Party may determine, and/or (ii) any or all of the Pledged Investments may be registered in the name of the Secured Party or its nominee, and the Secured Party or its nominee may thereafter exercise (x) all voting, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Investments at any meeting of shareholders of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Investments as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Investments upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledgor or the Secured Party of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Investments, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Investments with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Secured Party may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Secured Party shall have no duty to any Pledgor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Secured Party, which appointment shall be exercisable only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and grants to the Secured Party an IRREVOCABLE PROXY to exercise any action contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence in any manner the Secured Party reasonably deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be taken by the shareholders. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

(c) Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Investments pledged by such Pledgor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Secured Party in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Investments directly to the Secured Party.

6.4 Proceeds to be Turned Over to Secured Party. In addition to the rights of the Secured Party specified in Section 6.1 with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon request of the Secured Party, all Proceeds received by any Pledgor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party, segregated from other funds of such Pledgor, and shall, immediately upon receipt by such Pledgor, be turned over to the Secured Party in the exact form received by such Pledgor (duly indorsed by such Pledgor to the Secured Party, if required). All Proceeds received by the Secured Party hereunder shall be held by the Secured Party in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Secured Party in a Collateral Account (or by such Pledgor in trust for the Secured Party) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 6.5 hereof.

6.5 Application of Proceeds. At such intervals as may be agreed upon by the Borrower and the Secured Party, or, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Secured Party’s election, the Secured Party may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the Guarantee, in payment of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party may elect, and any part of such funds which the Secured Party elects not so to apply shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Obligations. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Termination Date or after all Events of Default have been cured or waived shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

6.6 Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Secured Party, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Party, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Pledgor further agrees, at the Secured Party’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Secured Party at places which the Secured Party shall reasonably select, whether at such Pledgor’s premises or elsewhere. The Secured Party shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Party, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Secured Party may elect and only after such application and after the payment by the Secured Party of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) and (4) of the New York UCC, need the Secured Party account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other

disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

6.7 Private Sale; Registration Rights. (a) If the Secured Party shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Pledged Investments pursuant to Section 6.6, and if in the opinion of the Secured Party it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Investments, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Pledgor will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Secured Party, use its best efforts to take or to cause the Issuer of such Pledged Investments to take such action, and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Secured Party to permit the public sale of such Pledged Investments including, without limitation, to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such Issuer to execute and deliver, all such agreements, instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Secured Party, necessary or advisable to register and sell the Pledged Investments, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Investments, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Secured Party, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto or in the opinion of any underwriters selected by Secured Party to effectuate such purchase. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to the Secured Party of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the Issuer of such Pledged Investment by the Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further agrees, upon written request, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the Issuer of such Pledged Investments to (x) qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Investments under the “Blue Sky” or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Secured Party and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations and (y) to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Secured Party may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Investments, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that no such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely because it has had such a result. The Secured Party shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Stock for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(c) Each Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Investments pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of law. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to the Secured Party, that the Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Debenture.

6.8 Deficiency. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

6.9 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Pledgor hereby grants to the Secured Party an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Pledgors) to use, license or sublicense any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Pledgor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The license (i) shall be subject to those exclusive Copyright Licenses, Patent Licenses and Trademark Licenses granted by the Pledgors in effect on the date hereof and those granted by any Pledgor hereafter, as permitted under the Transaction Documents, to the extent conflicting, (ii) may be exercised, at the option of the Secured Party, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, provided, that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the

Secured Party in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Pledgors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default, and (iii) apply to the use of the Trademarks in connection with goods and services of similar type and quality to those theretofore sold by such Pledgor under such Trademark.

SECTION 7

THE SECURED PARTY

(viii) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral;

(ix) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Pledgor with respect to any Collateral;

(x) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Secured Party may deem appropriate;

(xi) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains), throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and

(xii) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Secured Party were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Secured Party’s option and such Pledgor’s expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which the Secured Party deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Secured Party’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Pledgor might do.

Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Secured Party agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein or in any contract included in the Collateral, the Secured Party, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.

(c) The expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due amounts under the Debenture, from the date of payment by the Secured Party to

the date reimbursed by the relevant Pledgor, shall be payable by such Pledgor to the Secured Party on demand.

(d) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

7.2 Duties of Secured Parties. (a) The Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for its own account.

(b) Neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.

(c) The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7.3 Filing of Financing Statements. Each Pledgor authorizes the Secured Party to file or record financing statements, any amendments thereto and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor in such form and in such offices as the Secured Party reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Secured Party under this Agreement including, without limitation, any financing statement describing the collateral as “all assets,” “all personal property” or any similar description. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Party and its successors and assigns and to the extent provided in Section 8.4(c); provided that no Pledgor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Secured Party and any purported assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.

Pledgor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Pledgor without the approval of any other Pledgor and without affecting the obligations of any other Pledgor hereunder.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(b) the Secured Party has no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Pledgor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and the relationship between the Pledgors, on the one hand, and

the Secured Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby.

At the request and sole expense of any Pledgor following any such termination, the Secured Party shall deliver to such Pledgor any Collateral held by the Secured Party hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Pledgor such documents as such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

At the request and sole expense of the Borrower, a Pledgor which is a subsidiary of the Borrower shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Shares of such Pledgor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Debenture; provided that the Borrower shall have delivered to the Secured Party, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Secured Party) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Subsidiary Party and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together

Annex I to
Collateral Agreement

ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of ________________, 201_, made by ______________________________, a ______________ (the “Additional Pledgor”), in favor of Meridian Jerritt Canyon Corp., as Secured Party. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Collateral Agreement (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, Rise Gold Corp. (the “Borrower”) and the Secured Party have entered into a Debenture, dated as of February __, 2019 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Debenture”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Debenture, the Borrower and certain of its Affiliates (other than the Additional Pledgor) have entered into the Collateral Agreement, dated as of February __, 2019 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Collateral Agreement”) in favor of the Secured Party;

WHEREAS, the Debenture requires the Additional Pledgor to become a party to the Collateral Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Additional Pledgor has agreed to execute and deliver this Assumption Agreement in order to become a party to the Collateral Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:

1. Collateral Agreement. By executing and delivering this Assumption Agreement, the Additional Pledgor, as provided in Section 8.15 of the Collateral Agreement, hereby becomes a party to the Collateral Agreement as a Pledgor thereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly assumes all obligations and liabilities of a Pledgor thereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Additional Pledgor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does (x) hereby create and grant to the Secured Party, its successors and assigns, a security interest in all of the Additional Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of the Additional Pledgor and (y) jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. Each reference to a “subsidiary”, a “Pledgor” or a “Subsidiary Party” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the Additional Pledgor. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in Annex 1-A hereto (a) is a true and correct schedule of all of the Collateral of the Additional Pledgor as of the date hereof and (b) is hereby added to the

information set forth in Schedules [_________]¹ to the Collateral Agreement. The Additional Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it is true and correct on and as the date hereof (after giving effect to this Assumption Agreement) as if made on and as of such date.

2. Representations of Additional Pledgor. The Additional Pledgor represents and warrants to the Secured Party that this Assumption Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

3. Counterparts; Binding Effect. This Assumption Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract. This Assumption Agreement shall become effective when (a) the Secured Party shall have received a counterpart of this Assumption Agreement that bears the signature of the Additional Pledgor and (b) the Secured Party has executed a counterpart hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Assumption Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Assumption Agreement.

4. Full Force and Effect. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

5. Severability. Any provision of this Assumption Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability in such jurisdiction of the remaining provisions hereof and of the Collateral Agreement; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 8.2 of the Collateral Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the Additional Pledgor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below.

7. Fees and Expenses. The Additional Pledgor agrees to reimburse the Secured Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Assumption Agreement, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the Secured Party.

Refer to each Schedule which needs to be supplemented.

8. Governing Law. THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Assumption Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
