(b) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral (other than Collateral that is deemed by such Grantor to be immaterial to the conduct of its business) against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party (other than the holders of Permitted Liens) and to defend the security interests of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien (other than Permitted Liens).  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such discontinuance is (x) in the judgment of its board of directors, desirable in the conduct of its business and (y) permitted by the Indenture.

(c) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the security interests and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the

(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and after giving the Grantor five Business Days’ notice, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due Taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture or this Agreement, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization, provided that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens and maintenance as set forth in this Agreement or in the other Initial Additional First-Lien Documents.

(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person with a value in excess of $5,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(g) Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and material obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.  Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contract by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating to such contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any contract, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any contract, 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 them or to which they may be entitled at any time or times.

14

(h) None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral (or any part thereof) or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral (or any part thereof), except as permitted by the Indenture.  Subject to the immediately following sentence, none of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Collateral (or any part thereof) and each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession of the Collateral owned by it, except (i) as permitted by Sections 4.10 and 4.12 of the Indenture and (ii) for any such Collateral as may be in transit from time to time or out for repair or maintenance.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that it shall not permit any Inventory or Goods to be in the possession or control of any warehouseman, agent, bailee, or processor at any time unless (x) such Inventory is in transit at such time, (y) the aggregate fair value of the Inventory or Goods in the possession of or subject to the control of such Person is less than $25,000,000 or (z) such Person shall have been notified of the Security Interest and shall have acknowledged in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor holds the Inventory or Goods for the benefit of the Collateral Agent subject to the Security Interest and shall act upon the instructions of the Collateral Agent without further consent from the Grantor, and that such warehouseman, agent, bailee or processor further agrees to waive and release any Lien held by it with respect to such Inventory, whether arising by operation of law or otherwise.

Section 4.04.  Other Actions.  In order to ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest in accordance with the terms hereof, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper.  Each Grantor represents and warrants that each Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper with a value in excess of $15,000,000 in existence on the date hereof has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments or Chattel Paper with a value in excess of $15,000,000, such Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records.  If any Grantor 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 Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent 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 applicable, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record; provided that no Grantor shall be required to take any action described above in this clause (b) unless the aggregate amount payable to the Grantors evidenced by Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in which the Collateral Agent has not been vested control within the meaning of the statutes described above in this clause (b) exceeds $15,000,000.  The Collateral Agent agrees with such Grantor that the Collateral Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under UCC Section 9-105 or, as applicable, 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

15

taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.

(c) Letter-of-Credit Rights.  If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor in an amount in excess of $15,000,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request and option of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

(d) Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $15,000,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, 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 Collateral Agent.

Section 4.05.  Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.  (a)  Each Grantor agrees that it will not do any act or omit to do any act whereby any Patent which constitutes Article 9 Collateral that is material to the conduct of its business would become invalidated or dedicated to the public.

(b) Each Grantor will, for each Trademark which constitutes Article 9 Collateral and is material to the conduct of its business, (i) maintain such Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for non-use, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark to the extent necessary and sufficient in its reasonable business judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable law, (iii) display such Trademark with appropriate notice to the extent necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable law and (iv) not knowingly use such Trademark in any violation of any third party rights.

(c) Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a Copyright which constitutes Article 9 Collateral and is material to the conduct of its business, continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary and sufficient in its reasonable judgment to establish and preserve its material rights under applicable copyright laws.

(d) Each Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business could reasonably be expected to become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar office of any country) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or its right to keep and maintain the same.

(e) In the event any Grantor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application with respect to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States

16

Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, such Grantor shall promptly but in no event more than 45 days thereafter, inform the Collateral Agent and execute and deliver a grant of security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright in the form of Exhibits II, III or IV, as applicable, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute and file such writings as are reasonably necessary for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable until such time as when the Notes (in each case together with interest thereon), any fees and all other Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 7.03 and in the other provisions of the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document which are not then due and payable) incurred hereunder and under the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Documents are paid in full.

(f) Each Grantor will take all reasonably necessary steps that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any office or agency in any political subdivision of the United States or in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each registration or application that is material to the conduct of its business relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights in the Article 9 Collateral (and to obtain the relevant grant or registration) including (a) timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees; (b) if consistent with good business judgment initiating opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties; and (c) refraining from the abandonment of any filing of affidavit of use or any application of renewal prior to the exhaustion of all administrative and judicial remedies.

(g) In the event that any Grantor knows that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property material to the conduct of its business is or has been infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor promptly shall notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if consistent with good business judgment, prosecute its rights in such Intellectual Property diligently, including promptly suing for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution (and taking any actions required by applicable law prior to instituting such suit), and taking such other actions as are appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright, or require any Grantor to pursue any claim of infringement, misappropriation or dilution, if (x) such Grantor so determines in its good business judgment and (y) it is not prohibited by the Indenture.

ARTICLE V

Remedies

Section 5.01.  Remedies upon Default.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand (it being understood and agreed that each Grantor’s obligation to deliver Collateral is of the essence to this Agreement and that, accordingly, upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by such Grantor of said obligation), and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:  (a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Article 9 Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the

17

Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, and (c) instruct the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation (including, without limitation, the Accounts and the Contracts) constituting the Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Collateral Agent and may exercise any and all remedies of such Grantor in respect of such Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, valuation, extension, moratorium, stay and appraisal that such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent and the Initial Additional First-Lien Secured parties shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, extension, moratorium, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and, in respect of a bid by any Secured Party, may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement, all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the

18

Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Section 5.02.  Application of Proceeds.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral in accordance with the requirements of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

Section 5.03.  Grant of License To Use Intellectual Property.  Each Grantor shall grant to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable absolute power of attorney to sign, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any document which may be required by the United States Patent and Trademark Office or similar registrar in order to effect an absolute assignment of all right, title and interest in any registered Intellectual Property and each application for such registration, and record the same.  If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may, by written notice to the relevant Grantor, take any or all of the following actions:  (i) declare the entire right, title and interest of such Grantor in and to the Intellectual Property, vested in the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in which event such rights, title and interest shall immediately vest, in the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to exercise the power of attorney referred to in this Section 5.03 hereof to execute, cause to be acknowledged and notarized and record said absolute assignment with the applicable agency or registrar; (ii) take and use or sell the Intellectual Property; (iii) take and use or sell the goodwill of such Grantor’s business symbolized by the Trademarks and the right to carry on the business and use the assets of such Grantor in connection with which the Trademarks or Domain Names have been used; (iv) direct such Grantor to refrain, in which event such Grantor shall refrain, from using the Intellectual Property in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, and such Grantor shall execute such further documents that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to further confirm this and to transfer ownership of the Intellectual Property and registrations and any pending applications in the United States Copyright Office, United States Patent and Trademark Office, equivalent office in a state of the United States or applicable Domain Name registrar to the Collateral Agent and provide 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; and (v) with respect to any Grantor’s rights under any Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License, and each Grantor’s rights under Patent License, Copyright License or Trademark License shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent, solely to the extent permitted by such license as it pertains to the Collateral, in each case solely during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default.  Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default along with the intention to take enforcement action pursuant to the Indenture, each Grantor shall, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License to effect the assignment of all such Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral Agent or its designee.

Section 5.04.  Securities Act.  In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Stock, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the

19

Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Stock permitted hereunder.  Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Stock, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Stock could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Stock under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect.  Each Grantor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Stock, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Stock for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Stock or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Stock at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached.  The provisions of this Section 5.04 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells the Pledged Stock.

ARTICLE VI

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

Section 6.01.  Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but in each case subject to Section 6.03), the Company agrees that (a) in the event a payment of any Initial Additional First-Lien Obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Initial Additional First-Lien Obligation owed to any Secured Party, the Company shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the fair value of the assets so sold.

Section 6.02.  Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Guarantor and Grantor (other than the Company with respect to its own Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations) agrees (subject to Section 6.03) that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worths of the Guarantors on the date the respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder (whether as a Guarantor and/or Grantor hereunder, with proceeds of the Collateral of any Grantor applied hereunder deemed for this purpose to be payments made by it), such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment.  Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.03.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this

20

Agreement (and its guarantees contained herein) in accordance with the express provisions of Section 7.13(b) shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 6.02, and at the time of any such release, the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided herein) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors.  The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Section 6.03.  Subordination.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors and Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, and no Grantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against the Company or any other Grantor or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Additional First-Lien Secured Party for the payment of any of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, nor shall any Grantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Grantor in respect of payments made by such Grantor hereunder (or paid with proceeds of collateral of such Grantor hereunder), until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on account of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations are paid in full in cash.  If any amount shall be paid to any Grantor on account of such contribution or subrogation rights at any time when all of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) of, or guaranteed by, such Grantor and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine.

ARTICLE VII

Miscellaneous

Section 7.01.  Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 5.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement, provided that any communication or notice hereunder from the Collateral Agent to any Grantor upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in writing.  All communications and notices hereunder to any U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Company as provided in Section 13.01 of the Indenture.

Section 7.02.  Waivers; Amendment.  (a)  No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall have been effected in accordance with paragraph (b) of this

21

Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice or demand on any Grantor in any case shall entitle any Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.

Section 7.03.  Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)  The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent (and any of its sub-agents) shall be entitled to reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.02 of the Indenture.

(b)           Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the Indenture and any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document, each Grantor and each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent (and any of its sub-agents), its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisors, agents, affiliates (including without limitation, controlling persons), successors, partners, representatives, trustees and assignees (hereinafter in this Section 7.03 referred to individually as “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related out-of-pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction to such Indemnitees (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Indemnitee may retain its own counsel), incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that no Grantor of Guarantor shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c)           Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations secured hereby and by the Indenture or any other Additional First-Lien Security Document.  The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Security Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement, the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Additional First-Lien Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable within 15 days after written demand therefor.

Section 7.04.  Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor, Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the other Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.05.  Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Grantors in the Initial Additional First-Lien Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other

22

Initial Additional First-Lien Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any amount payable under the Indenture or any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document is outstanding and unpaid.

Section 7.06.  Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Grantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest in this Agreement or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Grantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to Grantor without the approval of any other Grantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Grantor hereunder.

Section 7.07.  Severability.  Any provision in this 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 of the remaining provisions hereof; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 7.08.  Right of Set-Off.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to the terms of the Indenture, each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Grantor against any of and all the obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement owed to such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The applicable Secured Party shall notify the Company, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section 7.08.  The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

Section 7.09.  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE

(b)           EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY OF THE AFORESAID ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE COURTS REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (a) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 7.10.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER ADDITIONAL FIRST-LIEN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 7.11.  Headings.  The headings of the several sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 7.12.  Security Interest Absolute.  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor and Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Indenture, any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any other Initial Additional First-Lien Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien

24

on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guaranty, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or Guarantor in respect of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations or this Agreement (other than a release of any Grantor or Guarantor in accordance with Section 7.13).

Section 7.13.  Termination or Release. (a)   After the Termination Date, this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation in Section 7.03 hereof, shall survive such termination) and the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of the respective Grantor, will promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor a proper instrument or instruments (including Uniform Commercial Code termination statements on form UCC-3) acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)           In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of (to a Person other than a Grantor) at any time prior to the Termination Date, the proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or such other applicable Initial Additional First-Lien Document, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, the Collateral Agent, at the request and expense of such Grantor, will duly release from the security interest created hereby (and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Grantor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or otherwise disposed of, or released, and as may be in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.  Furthermore, in the event that all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of (in each case to a Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary thereof) or liquidated at any time prior to the Termination Date, the proceeds of such sale, disposition or liquidation are applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and/or the applicable Initial Additional First-Lien Document, to the extent applicable, such Guarantor (and the Collateral at such time assigned by such Guarantor pursuant hereto) shall, upon consummation of such sale or other disposition (except to the extent that such sale or disposition is to the Company or a Subsidiary thereof), be released from this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the sale of one or more Persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of the capital stock or other Equity Interests of any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 7.13(b)).

(c)           At any time that a Grantor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action to acknowledge or give effect to any release of Collateral pursuant to the foregoing Section 7.13(a) or (b), such Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of such Grantor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.13(a) or (b).  At any time that the Company or the respective Grantor desires that the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company which has been released from its guaranty pursuant to Article II hereunder be released hereunder as provided in the last sentence of Section 7.13(b), it shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate signed by a principal executive officer of the Company and the respective Grantor stating that the release of the respective Grantor (and its Collateral) is permitted pursuant to such Section 7.13(b).

(d)           The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believed to be in accordance with) this Section 7.13.

25

Section 7.14.  Additional Subsidiaries.  Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Exhibit I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor in this Agreement.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 7.15.  Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable (until the Termination Date) and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of this Agreement, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, provided that nothing in this Agreement contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.  The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them in this Agreement, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

Section 7.16.  Further Assurances.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 4.20 of the Indenture.

Section 7.17.  Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall act in accordance with the provisions of Article IV of the Intercreditor Agreement, the provisions of which shall be deemed incorporated by reference herein as fully as if set forth in their entirety herein.  Each Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to the provisions of Article IVof the Intercreditor Agreement, including as same apply to the actions of the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Exhibit I to the
U.S. Guaranty and
Collateral Agreement

SUPPLEMENT NO.          (this “Supplement”)  dated as of [    ], to the  First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement, dated as of September 27, 2013 (as amended, amended and restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement”), among XXXXXX ENERGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each other subsidiary of the Company from time to time party thereto (each such subsidiary individually a “U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor” and collectively, the “U.S. Subsidiary Guarantors”; the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Company are referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and UNION BANK, N.A., as collateral agent (together with any successor collateral agent, the “Collateral Agent”).

A.            Section 7.14 of the Security Agreement provides that additional subsidiaries of the Company may become Grantors under the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in order to become a Grantor under the Security Agreement.

B.            Capitalized terms used in this Supplement and not otherwise defined in this Supplement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture and the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement referred to therein.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

SECTION 1.         In accordance with Section 7.14 of the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor under the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor and a Grantor and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement applicable to it as a U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor and Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor and U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct in all material respects only as of such specified date).  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Initial Additional First-Lien Obligations (as defined in the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement) of the New Subsidiary.  Each reference to a “U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor” or “Grantor” in the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference.

SECTION 2.         The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement 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, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally any by principles of equity.

I-1

SECTION 3.         This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4.         The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that set forth under its signature hereto is, as of the date hereof, (i) the true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, (ii) its jurisdiction of formation, (iii) its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or its organizational identification number (if any) and (iv) the location of its chief executive office.  The New Subsidiary hereby further represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, Schedule I hereto accurately sets forth all information which would have been required pursuant to the Schedules to the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement had the New Subsidiary been a Grantor on the date of the execution and delivery of the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement (it being understood and agreed, however, that the information so furnished by the New Subsidiary is accurate as of the date of this Supplement rather than the date of the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement).

SECTION 5.         Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6.         THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 7.         Any provision of this Supplement 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 of the remaining provisions hereof and in the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement; the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.         All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement.

SECTION 9.         The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the First-Lien Notes Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
