thereunder), and all claims for money due and to become due to such Debtor thereunder; and

provided, however, in no event shall the Collateral include, and no Debtor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, any of such Debtor’s right, title or interest in: (i) any Intellectual Property if the grant of such security interest shall constitute or result in the abandonment, invalidation or rendering unenforceable any right, title or interest of any Debtor therein, or breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a default under, any Intellectual Property or the violation of any applicable law; (ii) any General Intangible or Equipment if the grant of such security interest (x) shall be prohibited by any contract, agreement, instrument or indenture governing such General Intangible or relating to such Equipment, (y) would give any other party to such contract, agreement, instrument or indenture the right to terminate its obligations thereunder or (z) is permitted only with the consent of another party, and such consent has not been obtained or (iii) any assets of any Debtor to the extent that such grant of security interest would violate applicable law or governmental regulation; in each cause of clauses (i) and (ii), other than to the extent any such term is rendered ineffective by §§ 9-406 to 9-409 of the UCC;
provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Debtors be required to grant to the Security Trustee a security interest in any Excluded Charged Assets under this Security Agreement to secure the Designated Secured Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt,
(i) all Collateral that does not constitute Excluded Charged Assets remains subject to the lien granted pursuant to this Security Agreement to secure all Secured Obligations, including without limitation the Designated Secured Obligations; and
(ii) such Excluded Charged Assets remain subject to the lien granted under this Section 2 to secure any Secured Obligations that are not Designated Secured Obligations.
In the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other United States federal or state governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any such Subsidiary due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Ownership Interests or other securities secure any Designated Secured Obligations, then such Ownership Interests or other securities (as applicable) of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed to be Excluded Charged Assets for such Designated Secured Obligations but (i) only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement, (ii) only for so long as such financial statement requirement would otherwise have been applicable to such Subsidiary and (iii) only if no member of the Group files or is otherwise required to file separate financial statements of such Subsidiary with the SEC or such other governmental agency under a separate rule or regulation. If the circumstances described in this paragraph apply, this Security Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to release the lien (but only to the extent
securing such Designated Secured Obligations and without prejudice to the security interest securing the Secured Obligations referred to in clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph) in favor of the Security Trustee on the relevant Ownership Interests and/or other securities that are so deemed to constitute Excluded Charged Assets.
In the event that Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Ownership Interests and/or other securities to secure any Designated Secured Obligations in excess of the amount then secured without the filing with the SEC (or any other United States federal or state governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Ownership Interests or other securities (as applicable) of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed not to be Excluded Charged Assets for such Designated Secured Obligations, but limited to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement. If the circumstances described in this paragraph apply, this Security Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Senior Finance Party, to the extent necessary to xxxxx x xxxx in favor of the Security Trustee in such additional Ownership Interests or other securities that were deemed to constitute Excluded Charged Assets.
The obligations of each Debtor pursuant to this Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or automatically be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of such Debtor or any other Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If the grant, pledge, or collateral transfer or assignment of any rights of any Debtor under any contract included in the Collateral is expressly prohibited by such contract, then the security interest hereby granted nonetheless remains effective to the extent allowed by Section 9-318 of the UCC or other applicable law but is otherwise limited by that prohibition.
3. SECURITY FOR OBLIGATIONS

(a) the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Secured Obligations;
(b) any and all sums advanced by the Security Trustee in order to preserve the Collateral or preserve its security interest in the Collateral;
(c) in the event of any proceeding for the collection or enforcement of any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of such Debtor referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above, after an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale or lease, selling or otherwise disposing or realizing on the Collateral, or of any exercise by the Security Trustee of its rights hereunder, together with reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs;
(d) all amounts paid by any Indemnified Party as to which such Indemnified Party has the right to reimbursement under Section 7.3 of this Security Agreement; and
(e) all amounts owing to any Agent or any of its affiliates pursuant to any of the Senior Finance Documents in its respective capacity as such;
all such obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, sums and expenses set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 3 being herein collectively called the “Obligations”, it being acknowledged and agreed that the “Obligations” shall include (without limitation) extensions of credit of the types described above, whether outstanding on the date of this Security Agreement or extended from time to time after the date of this Security Agreement, and (without prejudice to the extension of the Secured Obligations to any other Indebtedness from time to time included within the definition thereof) all Liabilities arising under or in connection with the Senior Facilities Agreement and the Senior Secured Notes Documents.
4. DEBTOR REMAINS LIABLE
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) each Debtor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Security Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Debtor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral; and (c) neither the Security Trustee nor any Beneficiary shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Security Agreement, nor shall the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Debtor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS
Each Debtor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
5.1 Binding Obligation
This Security Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Debtor and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Debtor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditor’s rights generally or any other reservations as to its enforceability specified in the legal opinion addressed to the Security Trustee and the Beneficiaries in connection herewith on or about the date hereof.
5.2 Authority
That it has such power, authority and legal right to pledge all the Collateral pledged by it pursuant to this Security Agreement.
5.3 Ownership of Collateral; Bailees
Subject to the Existing Encumbrances and Encumbrances permitted under the Senior Finance Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Interests), such Debtor owns the Collateral free and clear of any Encumbrance. As of the date hereof, no effective financing statement or other form of lien notice covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office, except for those in favor of the Security Trustee or evidencing Encumbrances permitted under the Senior Finance Documents.
5.4 Office Locations; Fictitious Names
As of the date hereof, the chief place of business, the chief executive office, the registered office and the office where such Debtor keeps its books and records are located at the places specified on Schedule 1. Such Debtor does not do business and has not done business during the five years immediately preceding the date hereof under any trade-name or fictitious business name except as disclosed on Schedule 3.
5.5 Perfection
This Security Agreement creates a valid and, except for the Encumbrances permitted under the Senior Finance Documents and the reservations referred to in Section 5.1, a first priority security interest in the Collateral, securing the payment of the Obligations, and all filings and other actions necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such security interest have or will within the prescribed registration periods been duly taken (except with regard to deposit accounts).
When Uniform Commercial Code financing statements stating that the same covers “all assets of the Debtor”, “all personal property of the Debtor” or words of similar import shall have been filed in the relevant jurisdiction, the Security Interests will constitute perfect security interests in all right, title and interest of the Debtor in the Collateral to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by filing pursuant to the UCC, prior to all other liens and rights of others except for Encumbrances permitted under the Senior Finance Documents and the reservations set forth in Section 5.1.
When any applicable patent and trademark assignments have been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any applicable copyright assignments have been filed with the United States Copyright Office, the Security Interests will constitute perfected security interests in all right, title and interest of the Debtors in the United States Intellectual Property therein described to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by such filing pursuant to applicable law, prior to all other liens and rights of others therein except for Encumbrances permitted under the Senior Finance Documents and the reservations set forth in Section 5.1.
5.6 Governmental Authorizations; Consents
No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or, consent of any other person (including, without limitation, any licensor of Intellectual Property) is required either (a) for the grant by such Debtor of the security interest granted hereby or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Security Agreement by such Debtor or (b) for the perfection of such security interest or the exercise by the Security
Trustee or any Beneficiary of its rights and remedies hereunder (except as may have been taken or obtained by or at the direction of such Debtor or the absence of which could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect).
5.7 Accounts
To the best of the knowledge of the Debtor, each Account, with a value in excess of $20,000 constitutes the genuine, legal, valid and binding obligation of the customer obligated to pay the same. The amount represented by such Debtor as owing by each customer is the correct amount actually and unconditionally owing, except for normal cash discounts and allowances where applicable. To the best of such Debtor’s knowledge, no customer has any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim against such Debtor that can be asserted against the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary, whether in any proceeding to enforce the Security Trustee’s or any Beneficiary’s rights in the Collateral or otherwise except defenses, set-offs, claims or counterclaims that are not, in the aggregate, material to the value of the Accounts taken as a whole. None of the Accounts, with a value in excess of $200,000, is evidenced by a promissory note or other Instrument.

All information heretofore, herein or hereafter supplied to the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary by or on behalf of such Debtor with respect to the Collateral is and will be accurate and complete in all material respects.

(b) It is understood and agreed that each Debtor shall remain jointly and severally liable with respect to its Obligations to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the aggregate amount of such Obligations, provided that before any demand for payment by the Security Trustee is made on any Debtor that is a Restricted Guarantor, demand for payment of the relevant Obligation shall first have been made on the Borrower from which such unpaid Obligation is due (if any).
12. EXPENSES
Each Debtor shall pay all insurance expenses and all reasonable expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping the Collateral, all reasonable costs, fees and expenses of perfecting and maintaining the Security Interests, and any and all excise, property, sales and use taxes imposed by any state, federal or local authority on any of the Collateral to the extent required under the Senior Finance Document, or with respect to the sale or other disposition thereof. If such Debtor fails promptly to pay any portion of the above expenses when due or to perform any other obligation of such Debtor under this Security Agreement, the Security Trustee may, at its option, but shall not be required to, pay or perform the same and charge such Debtor for all costs and expenses incurred therefor, and such Debtor agrees to reimburse the Security Trustee therefore on demand. All sums so paid or incurred by the Security Trustee for any of the foregoing, any and all other sums for which such Debtor may become liable hereunder and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, legal expenses and court costs) incurred by the Security Trustee in enforcing or protecting the Security Interests or any of its rights or remedies under this Security Agreement shall be payable by such Debtor on demand, shall constitute Secured Obligations, shall bear interest until paid at the rate applicable to the Advance under the Relevant Facilities Agreement.
13. TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTERESTS; RELEASE OF COLLATERAL
(a) On the Termination Date, this Security Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Section 7.3 hereof shall survive any such termination) and the Security Trustee, at the request and expense of such Debtor, will execute and deliver to such Debtor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Security Agreement, and will duly release from the security interest created hereby and assign, transfer and deliver to such Debtor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of the Security Trustee and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Security Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Security Trustee. As used in this Security Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the date upon which the Commitments under the Senior Finance Documents have been terminated, no Documentary Credit (as defined in the Relevant Facilities Agreement) is outstanding (and all Advances have been paid in full), all Documentary Credits have been terminated, and all other Obligations (other than indemnities described in the Senior Finance Documents which are not then due and payable) then due and payable have been paid in full.
(b) In the event that any part of the Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of to a person other than an Obligor and (x) such disposal is permitted or not restricted under any of the Senior Finance Documents, or (y) is otherwise released with the consent of the Instructing Party in accordance with the terms of the Group Intercreditor Deed, and in the case of clauses (x) and (y), the proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Senior Finance Documents to the extent required to be so applied, the
Security Trustee, at the request and expense of such Debtor, 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 Debtor (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then being (or has been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the Security Trustee and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Security Agreement.
(c) At any time that any Debtor desires that Collateral be released as provided in the foregoing Section 13(a) or (b), it shall deliver to the Security Trustee a certificate signed by an authorized officer of such Debtor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to Section 13(a) or (b) hereof. If reasonably requested by the Security Trustee (although the Security Trustee shall have no obligation to make any such request), such Debtor shall furnish appropriate legal opinions (from counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Security Trustee) to the effect set forth in the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) The Security Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Beneficiary as the result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Security Trustee in good faith believes to be in accordance with) this Section 13.
14. ADMISSIBILITY OF SECURITY AGREEMENT
Each Debtor agrees that any copy of this Security Agreement signed by such Debtor and transmitted by telecopier for delivery to the Security Trustee shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in existence.
15. NOTICES
All notices, approvals, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the notice provision of the Group Intercreditor Deed.
16. WAIVERS, NON-EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES
Security Trustee’s prior recourse to any Collateral shall not constitute a condition of any demand, suit or proceeding for payment or collection of the Obligations. No act, omission or delay (other than an express written waiver) by the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary shall constitute a waiver of its rights and remedies hereunder or otherwise. No single or partial waiver by the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary of any default hereunder or right or remedy which it may have shall operate as a waiver of any other default, right or remedy or of the same default, right or remedy on a future occasion.
17. SECURITY INTEREST ABSOLUTE
All rights of the Security Trustee and the Beneficiaries, all of the Security Interests hereunder, and all of the obligations of each Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any of the Senior Finance Documents or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or any provision or provisions herein or therein;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the Senior Finance Documents;
(c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; or
(d) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Debtor or a third party grantor of a security interest.
18. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
This Security Agreement is for the benefit of Security Trustee and each Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment of all or any of the Secured Obligations, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Obligations so assigned, may be transferred with such Obligations. Each Debtor may not assign its obligations under this Security Agreement to any person. Subject to the foregoing, this Security Agreement shall be binding on each Debtor and its successors and permitted assigns.
19. CHANGES IN WRITING
No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or consent to any departure by any Debtor therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Security Trustee acting on the instructions of an Instructing Party and such Debtor.
20. APPLICABLE LAW
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES WHICH MIGHT RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
21. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND SETOFF; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; ETC.
21.1 In any litigation in any court with respect to, in connection with, or arising out of this Security Agreement, the Collateral, or any other Senior Finance Document or
any instrument or document delivered pursuant to this Security Agreement, or the validity, protection, interpretation, collection or enforcement thereof, or any other claim or dispute howsoever arising, between any Debtor, on the one hand and the Beneficiaries or the Security Trustee, on the other hand, such Debtor, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, (i) waives the right to interpose any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or cross-claim in connection with any such litigation, irrespective of the nature of such setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or cross-claim, unless such setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or cross-claim could not, by reason of any applicable Federal or State procedural laws, be interposed, pleaded or alleged in any other action and (ii) WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LITIGATION. EACH DEBTOR AGREES THAT THIS SECTION 21 IS A SPECIFIC AND MATERIAL ASPECT OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BENEFICIARIES WOULD NOT EXTEND TO ANY OBLIGORS ANY FACILITIES UNDER THE RELEVANT FACILITIES AGREEMENT OR ANY SERIES OF LIABILITIES UNDER ANY OTHER SENIOR FINANCE DOCUMENT IF THIS SECTION 21 WERE NOT PART OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.
21.2 Each Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any Federal Court located in the State of New York, in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement, the Collateral, or any other Senior Finance Document or any document or instrument delivered pursuant to this Security Agreement. In any such litigation, each Debtor waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, personal service of any summons, complaint or other process and agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to such Debtor at its address set forth below its signature herein. Each Debtor hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defenses of forum non conveniens and improper venue.
22. SURVIVAL
All representations and warranties of any Debtor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the making, execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
23. HEADINGS
Section and subsection headings in this Security Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Security Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
24. COUNTERPARTS
This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Security Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
25. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE
No failure or delay on the part of the Security Trustee or any Beneficiary in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder 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 any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Security Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
26. SEVERABILITY
If any term of this Security Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby.
27. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RECEIPT
Each Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Security Agreement.
28. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT
This Security Agreement shall amend and restate in its entirety the Original Security Agreement, and all obligations of the Debtors thereunder shall be deemed replaced and extended as obligations under this Security Agreement and be governed hereby without novation. In no event shall such amendment and restatement be construed as a termination of the obligations under the Original Security Agreement.
