Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file (or authorize the filing of) such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(ii) take all actions necessary to ensure the recordation of appropriate evidence of the Liens and security interest granted hereunder in the Intellectual Property with any intellectual property registry in the United States in which said Intellectual Property is registered or issued or in which an application for registration or issuance is pending including, without limitation, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and the various Secretaries of State;
(iii) at the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding that would reasonably be expected to materially affect such Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Trustee’s security interest in all or any material part of the Collateral; and
(iv) furnish the Collateral Trustee with such information regarding the Collateral, including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request from time to time.
(b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to file a Record or Records, including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, intellectual property security agreements and amendments to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably determine are necessary to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably determine is necessary to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Trustee herein, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Trustee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.
(c) As the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request from time to time, each Grantor shall update, to the extent necessary, Schedule 5.2-II (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) to include reference to any right, title or interest in any existing Intellectual Property or any Intellectual Property acquired or developed by such Grantor after the date hereof or to delete any reference to any right, title or interest in any Intellectual Property in which such Grantor no longer has or claims any right, title or interest.
7.3 Additional Grantors. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as additional Grantors (each, an “Additional Grantor”), by executing a Pledge Supplement. Upon delivery of any such Pledge Supplement to the Collateral Trustee, notice of which is hereby waived by Grantors, each Additional Grantor shall be a Grantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if the Additional Grantor were an original signatory hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, nor by any election of Collateral Trustee not to cause any Subsidiary of the Company to become an Additional Grantor hereunder. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
8.1 Power of Attorney. Until the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations, each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Trustee (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Trustee or otherwise, from time to time in the Collateral Trustee’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Collateral Trustee may deem reasonably necessary or, in the Collateral Trustee’s reasonable judgment, advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Secured Debt Default, to obtain and adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to the Junior Lien Documents or the Collateral Trust Agreement;
(b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Secured Debt Default, to ask for, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(c) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Secured Debt Default, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (b) above;
(d) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Secured Debt Default, to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Trustee may deem necessary for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Trustee with respect to any of the Collateral;
(e) to prepare, sign, and file for recordation in any intellectual property registry, appropriate evidence of the Lien and security interest granted herein in the Intellectual Property in the name of such Grantor as debtor;
(f) upon occurrence and during the continuance of a Secured Debt Default, to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Priority Liens or Permitted Prior Liens) levied or placed upon or threatened against the Collateral, and which the applicable Grantor has not paid or discharged when required hereunder or the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Trustee in its reasonable discretion, any such payments made by the Collateral Trustee to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(g) upon occurrence and during the continuance of a Secured Debt Default, generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Trustee were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral Trustee’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Trustee deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Trustee’s security interest therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
8.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Trustee or Secured Parties. The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect the interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties 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 Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.
SECTION 9.REMEDIES. | ||||
9.1 | Generally. |
(a) If any Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, pursue any of the following separately, successively or simultaneously, in each case without demand of performance or any other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived):
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Trustee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Trustee and make it available to the Collateral Trustee at a place to be designated by the Collateral Trustee that is reasonably convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property during normal business hours where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Collateral Trustee reasonably deems appropriate; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and/or sell, assign, lease, license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Trustee’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Trustee may deem commercially reasonable.
(b) The Collateral Trustee or any Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent the portion of the Collateral being privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the Collateral Trustee, as collateral trustee for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Collateral Trustee at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale 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 applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such Grantor (or such greater minimum amount if prescribed by applicable law) of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Trustee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Trustee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the Collateral Trustee to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Trustee arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable for the deficiency and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Trustee to collect such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Trustee, that the Collateral Trustee has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Trustee hereunder.
(c) The Collateral Trustee may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The Collateral Trustee may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(d) The Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
9.2 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Trustee in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
9.3 Sales on Credit. If the Collateral Trustee sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by the Collateral Trustee and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Trustee may resell the Collateral and the Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
9.4 Investment Related Property. Each Grantor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, the Collateral Trustee may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Investment Related Property conducted without prior registration or qualification of such Investment Related Property under the Securities Act and/or such state securities laws, to limit purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Related Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act) and, notwithstanding such circumstances, each Grantor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Collateral Trustee shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Investment Related Property for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would, or should, agree to so register it. If the Collateral Trustee determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Investment Related Property, upon written request, each Grantor shall and shall cause each issuer of any Pledged Stock to be sold hereunder, each partnership and each limited liability company from time to time to furnish to the Collateral Trustee all such information as the Collateral Trustee may request in order to determine the number and nature of interest, shares or other instruments included in the Investment Related Property which may be sold by the Collateral Trustee in exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
9.5 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Trustee, during the continuance of a Secured Debt Default, to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Collateral Trustee shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent assignable by such Grantor, an irrevocable (during the continuance of the Secured Debt Default), non-exclusive license (subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademark, to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired or created by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.5 shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to a right to use or theretofore granted with respect to such property.
9.6 Intellectual Property.
Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Secured Debt Default:
(a) upon written demand from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall grant, assign, convey or otherwise transfer to the Collateral Trustee or such Collateral Trustee’s designee all of such Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property and shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee such documents as are reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement;
(b) within five (5) Business Days after written notice from the Collateral Trustee, each Grantor shall make available to the Collateral Trustee, to the extent within such Grantor’s power and authority, such personnel in such Grantor’s employ on the date of such Secured Debt Default as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably designate, by name, title or job responsibility, to permit such Grantor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold or delivered by such Grantor under or in connection with the Trademarks, such persons to be available to perform their prior functions on the Collateral Trustee’s behalf and to be compensated by the Collateral Trustee at such Grantor’s expense on a per diem, pro rata basis consistent with the salary and benefit structure applicable to each as of the date of such Secured Debt Default; and
(c) the Collateral Trustee shall have the right to notify, or require each Grantor to notify, any obligors with respect to amounts due or to become due to such Grantor in respect of the Intellectual Property, of the existence of the security interest created herein, to direct such obligors to make payment of all such amounts directly to the Collateral Trustee, and, upon such notification and at the expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such amounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done;
(i) all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other instruments) received by Grantor in respect of amounts due to such Grantor in respect of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over or delivered to the Collateral Trustee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash Collateral and applied as provided by Section 9.7 hereof; and
(ii) other than in the ordinary course of business as was generally conducted by it on or prior to the date hereof, such Grantor shall not (x) adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such amount, (y) release wholly or partly any obligor with respect thereto or (z) allow any credit or discount thereon.
9.7 Cash Proceeds; Deposit Accounts.
(a) If any Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in addition to the rights of the Collateral Trustee specified in Section 6.5 with respect to payments of Receivables, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items (collectively, “Cash Proceeds”) shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Trustee, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Trustee in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Trustee, if required) and held by the Collateral Trustee in the Collateral Account. Any Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Trustee (whether from a Grantor or otherwise) may, in the reasonable discretion of the Collateral Trustee, (A) be held by the Collateral Trustee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for the Secured Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) and/or (B) then or at any time thereafter may be applied by the Collateral Trustee against the Secured Obligations then due and owing.
(b) If any Secured Debt Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Trustee may, apply the balance from any Collateral Account or instruct the bank at which such account is maintained to pay the balance of any such account to or for the benefit of the Collateral Trustee.
SECTION 10. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE; COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT.
(a) The Collateral Trustee has been appointed to act as Collateral Trustee hereunder by the Secured Parties. In furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Secured Party, by its acceptance of the benefits hereof, agrees that it shall have no right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral hereunder, it being understood and agreed by such Secured Party that all rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Section.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by such Collateral Trustee hereunder are subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Junior Lien Obligations, be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and its successors, transferees and assigns. To the extent a release is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(1) of the Collateral Trust Agreement, the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors. Upon any such termination the Collateral Trustee shall, at Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to Grantors or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request and provide, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. To the extent a release is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Collateral Trust Agreement (other than Section 4.1(a)(1) thereof), the Liens granted herein shall be deemed to be automatically released and such property shall automatically revert to the applicable Grantor with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Trustee shall, at Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Grantors shall reasonably request and provide, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Trustee, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL TRUSTEE MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Trustee hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Trustee shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Collateral Trustee accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part 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 Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Trustee may (but without an obligation to do so) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Trustee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 7.10 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance with Section 7.7 of the Collateral Trust Agreement. No failure or delay on the part of the Collateral Trustee in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Junior Lien Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or a Secured Debt Default if such action is taken or condition exists. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and Grantors and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Trustee given in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, assign any right, duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the Collateral Trust Agreement and the other Junior Lien Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Grantors and the Collateral Trustee and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Collateral Trust Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, .pdf file or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
THE PROVISIONS OF THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION” AND “WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Trustee pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Trustee hereunder may be subject to the provisions of an ABL Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of an ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.
[Remainder of page left intentionally blank]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Trustee have caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first written above.

W i t n e s s e t h:
Whereas, Grantor is a party to a Junior Lien Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of July 31, 2009 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Pledge and Security Agreement”) among Grantor, the Collateral Trustee and other parties thereto, pursuant to which Grantor is required to execute and deliver this Trademark Security Agreement.
