(b) The guaranty contained in this Section 2 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full.

(c) No payment made by Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor, any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or received or collected by Agent or the other Secured Parties from Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor, any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, as applicable, by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the Liability of any Guarantor hereunder which Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than, subject to Section 8.18, any payment in cash received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Secured Obligations), remain liable for the Secured Obligations until the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full.

2.2 Postponement of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or otherwise exercise any rights of subrogation with respect to any of the rights of Agent or any other Secured Party against Borrower or any Guarantor, any other Grantor or any other Loan Party or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Grantor or any other Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all of the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full.

Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by them as security for the Secured Obligations or for the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.

(b) Agent and each other Secured Party may, from time to time, in their reasonable discretion and without notice to or demand upon the Guarantors (or any of them), take any or all of the following actions, without discharging or otherwise affecting the Obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any Liability hereunder: (a) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder, (b) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligation of any obligor or obligors, in addition to the undersigned, with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, (c) extend or renew any of the Secured Obligations for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Secured Obligations or otherwise modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change any Secured Obligation or any Loan Document (including accelerating or otherwise changing the time of payment), or release or compromise any obligation of any of the undersigned hereunder or any obligation of any nature of any other obligor with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or otherwise in connection with the Loan Documents, (d) release any guaranty or right of offset or their security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for, all or any part of any personal property securing any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period) or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such personal property, (e) resort to the undersigned (or any of them) for payment of any of the Secured Obligations when due, whether or not Agent or the other Secured Parties shall have resorted to any personal property securing any of the Secured Obligations or any obligation hereunder or shall have proceeded against any other of the undersigned or any other obligor primarily or secondarily obligated

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Agent or the other Secured Parties upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 2. The Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2, and all dealings between Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any of the other Grantors and any of the other Loan Party on the one hand, and Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on (a) diligence, promptness, presentment, protest, requirements for any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, requirements for any notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices whatsoever to or upon Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any of the other Grantors or any of the other Loan Parties with respect to the Secured Obligations or any part thereof, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Secured Obligations, (c) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Secured Obligations or any security for or guaranty of any Secured Obligations, (d) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Secured Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable, and (e) any defense arising by reason of a disability or other defense of Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Grantor or any other Loan Party. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by the Secured Obligations being Paid in Full. Each Guarantor further waives any right such Guarantor may have under any Applicable Law to require any Secured Party to seek recourse first against Borrower, any other Guarantor, any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or to realize upon any Collateral for any of the Obligations, as a condition precedent to enforcing such Guarantor’s Liability and obligations under this Guaranty.

2.5 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guaranties that payments hereunder will be paid to Agent and the other Secured Parties without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement.

2.6 Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under Applicable Laws relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Applicable Laws) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Agreement for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.7 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under this Agreement.

2.7 Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Secured Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the (i) Borrower and (ii) any other Guarantor, any other Grantor and any other Loan Party, in each case of this clause (ii) that is a direct or indirect parent entity of Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.

2.8 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Agreement are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Agreement) to the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law:

(a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Grantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Secured Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Secured Obligations or any part thereof;

(e) any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Secured Party to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Secured Party’s rights under any Applicable Law; or

(f) any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Grantor, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, in each case other than the Secured Obligations being Paid in Full.

2.9 Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of Borrower, each Guarantor, each other Grantor, each other Loan Party and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Secured Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Secured Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

Any such financing statement, continuation statement or amendment may be signed by Agent on behalf of any Grantor and may be filed at any time in any jurisdiction. A copy of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby (i) waives any right under the UCC or any other Applicable Law to receive notice and/or copies of any filed or recorded financing statements, amendments thereto, continuations thereof or termination statements and (ii) releases and excuses each Secured Party from any obligation under the UCC or any other Applicable Law to provide notice or a copy of any such filed or recorded documents. As this Agreement constitutes an amendment and restatement of the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement, the parties to this Agreement do hereby acknowledge and agree that those financing statements currently on record naming the applicable Grantors as “Debtor” and Agent as “Secured Party” shall continue in full force and effect (as amended, if applicable) and shall continue to perfect the security interests and Liens granted under the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement and reaffirmed, ratified and re-granted under this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not in any way curtail or otherwise impair Agent’s ability to file additional financing statements, continuation statements or amendments in connection herewith.

(b) Each Grantor shall, at any time and from time and to time, take such steps as Agent or the other Secured Parties may reasonably request for Agent to insure the continued perfection, protection and priority of Agent’s security interest in any of the Collateral and of the preservation of its rights therein.

description and summary thereof, and upon delivery thereof to Agent, such Grantor shall be deemed to thereby grant to Agent (and such Grantor hereby grants to Agent) a Lien in and to such commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of and governed by this Agreement, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to Agent, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, any document, and take all other action, deemed by Agent to be reasonably necessary or appropriate for Agent to obtain, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a perfected, first priority security interest in all such commercial tort claims. Any supplement to Schedule 7 delivered pursuant to this Section 5.9(c) shall, after the receipt thereof by Agent, become part of Schedule 7 for all purposes hereunder other than in respect of representations and warranties made prior to the date of such receipt.

If a Grantor at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain, maintain or provide to Agent evidence of any of the policies of insurance or other items required under Section 5.1(f) of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium relating thereto, then Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by such Grantor hereunder or thereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as Agent deems advisable . Such insurance, if obtained by Agent, may, but need not, protect such Grantor’s interests or pay any claim made by or against such Grantor with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance such Grantor may be able to obtain on its own and may be cancelled only upon such Grantor providing evidence that it has obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by Agent in connection with any such actions shall constitute Secured Obligations payable upon demand.

SECTION 6 REMEDIAL PROVISIONS.

6.1 Certain Matters Relating to Receivables.

(a) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as Agent may reasonably require in connection with such test verifications. At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of Agent and at the expense of the relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to Agent to furnish to Agent reports showing reconciliations, agings and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(b) Until the occurrence or the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent and the other Secured Parties hereby authorize each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables. Agent may curtail, stop or terminate such authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. If requested by Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and upon notice to such Grantor, in a collateral account maintained under the sole dominion and control of Agent, subject to withdrawal by Agent as provided in Section 6.4 hereof, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) At any time and from time to time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of Agent, each Grantor shall deliver to Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Receivables, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles that are Collateral have been collaterally assigned to Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to Agent.

(d) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, in Agent’s sole discretion, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to such Grantor: (i) to limit or terminate the ability of a Grantor to collect its Receivables or any thereof; (ii) to assert, either directly or on behalf of such Grantor, any claim such Grantor may from time to time have against account debtors and to otherwise enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors; and (iii) to receive and collect any and all damages, awards and other monies resulting therefrom and to apply the same to the Secured Obligations in such order as Agent may determine in its discretion.

6.2 Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable.

(a) Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables or other account debtors to verify with them to Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables or other account or amounts due under any general intangible that is Collateral.

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

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable in respect of each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or Liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of any Loan Document or the receipt by Agent or any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

6.3 Pledged Investment Property and Pledged Collateral.

(a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Grantor shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and all payments made in respect of the Pledged Investment Property, to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement, and to exercise all voting and other rights with respect to the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property; provided, that no vote shall be cast or other right exercised or action taken which could reasonably be expected to materially impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (i) Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends and distributions, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property and make application thereof to the Secured Obligations in such order as Agent may determine in its discretion, (ii) Agent shall have the right to cause any or all of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property to be registered in the name of Agent or its nominee and (iii) Agent or its nominee may exercise (x) all voting, consent, corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant Issuer or Issuers or otherwise (or by written consent), and (y) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or other structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Grantor or Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Agent may determine), all without Liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each Issuer of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property pledged by such Grantor hereunder to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) comply with any instruction received by it from Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) pay any dividends, distributions or other payments with respect to the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property directly to Agent.

(d) In order to permit Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and the Pledged Investment Property and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral or the Pledged Investment Property, as applicable, would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral or Pledged Investment Property on the record books of the Issuer thereof) by any other Person (including the Issuer of such Pledged Collateral or Pledged Investment Property, as applicable, or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the Secured Obligations being Paid in Full.

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

6.5 Application of Proceeds. Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds from the sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (after deducting all attorneys’ and other fees and costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder) in payment of the Secured Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its discretion, and may pay any other amount required by any Applicable Law. Any part of such funds which Agent elects not so to apply or pay and deem not required as collateral security for the Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by Agent to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been Paid in Full shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

6.6 UCC and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other Applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than the defense that the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances (individually or through its Affiliates or their respective agents, representatives, consultants, advisors or attorneys) (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first (A) obtaining a final judgment or (B) giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action, (ii) forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or (iii) forthwith sell, convey, transfer, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Agent may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places which Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere in connection with the exercise of Agent’s remedies hereunder. Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of

the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Agent may elect in its discretion, and, only after such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any provision of Applicable Law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. Each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands such Grantor may acquire against Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by Agent or any other Secured Party of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) calendar days before such sale, transfer or other disposition.

6.7 Private Sale.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise, or may otherwise determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable, and, accordingly, and may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral or Pledged Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state or foreign securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Section 6.11 hereof valid and binding and in compliance with Applicable Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable injury to Agent and the other Secured Parties, that Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant and agreement contained herein 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 and agreements. Until all of the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full (and subject to any reinstatement pursuant to Section 8.18), each Grantor postpones until such date any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or Disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property by Agent.

6.8 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other Disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to cause the Secured Obligations to be Paid in Full, including the payment in full in cash of the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

6.9 Licenses. For the purpose of enabling Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) (in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the terms and subject to the limitations in this Agreement), each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in addition to the other grants, rights and remedies available to Agent and the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of

royalty or other compensation to such Grantor, but only exercisable after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) including in such license the right to use, practice, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and 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 software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, subject to, 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 trademarks.

6.10 [Reserved].

6.11 [Reserved].

6.12 Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, (i) Agent has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (ii) until Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent and (iii) Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent.

6.13 Direct Obligation. Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Loan Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Applicable Law. Each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder.

6.14 Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that any Applicable Law impose duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent to do any of the following:

(a) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by Agent to prepare any Collateral for Disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for Disposition;

(b) fail to obtain permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Applicable Law, fail to obtain permits, Authorizations or other consents for the collection or Disposition of any Collateral;

(c) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(d) advertise Dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(e) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the Disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or Disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to Dispose of any Collateral;

(f) Dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(g) disclaim Disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(h) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or Disposition of any Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or Disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.14 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.14. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.14 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent or any other Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 6.14.

SECTION 7 AGENT.

7.1 Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any Affiliates, directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Loan Documents, to, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, take any appropriate action and to execute any document, agreement or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives Agent and its Affiliates, directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(vi) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any contractual obligation contained herein, then during the existence of an Event of Default, Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such contractual obligation.

(b) The costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with, during the existence of an Event of Default as set forth in Section 2.8 of the Credit Agreement, interest thereon at a rate set forth in Section 2.8 of the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to Agent on written demand by Agent to Borrower.

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of, and in accordance with, this Section 7.1. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released by Agent in writing.

7.2 Authority of Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Agent and any Grantor, Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

7.3 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities.

(a) Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates, directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel or advisors shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS.

8.1 Amendments in Writing. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each party hereto; provided, however, that annexes and schedules, as applicable, to this Agreement may be supplemented or modified (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released, except with respect to the removal of items on the schedules in connection with a sale or other Disposition of Collateral, a release of a Guarantor or a merger or acquisition, in each case, as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement) as set forth in Section 5 hereof and Section 8.15 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the first sentence of this Section 8.1, any time period for performance under this Agreement may be extended, at any time, by Agent in its sole discretion.

8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon Agent or any Guarantor or Grantor hereunder shall be addressed to such party and effected in the manner provided for in Section 6.1 of the Credit Agreement, and each Guarantor and Grantor hereby appoints Borrower as its agent to receive notices hereunder.

8.3 Indemnification by Grantors. Each Grantor and each Guarantor agrees to jointly and severally indemnify, pay, and hold Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Secured Parties’ Affiliates and their respective partners, counsel, advisors, officers, directors, employees, agents, and attorneys harmless against Liabilities and Losses to the extent set forth in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference as though set forth fully herein. The provisions in this Section 8.3 shall survive repayment of all Secured Obligations (and all commitments of Lenders (including Subsequent Disbursement Commitments), if any, to extend credit under the Loan Documents have been fully terminated or have fully expired), any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral, and termination of this Agreement.

8.4 Enforcement Expenses.

(b) Each Grantor and each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save and hold Agent and the other Secured Parties harmless from, any and all Liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.5 Nature of Remedies. All Secured Obligations of each Grantor and rights of Agent and the other Secured Parties expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by Applicable Law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

8.6 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

8.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties hereto 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 provision.

8.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the other Loan Documents) contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the matters covered hereby and supersedes any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. All Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes referred to herein are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and constitute a part of this Agreement. If any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts with any provision of the Credit Agreement, then with regard to such conflicting provisions, the Credit Agreement shall govern and control.

8.9 Successors; Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns except that Grantors and Guarantors may not assign their rights or obligations hereunder without the written consent of Agent and any such purported assignment without such written consent shall be absolutely void ab initio.

8.10 Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. The terms of Section 6.4 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

8.11 [Reserved].

8.12 [Reserved].

8.13 Set-off. Each Grantor agrees that Agent and the other Secured Parties have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by Applicable Law, and in addition thereto, each Grantor agrees that at any time any Event of Default exists, Agent and the other Secured Parties may apply to the payment of any Secured Obligations in such order as Agent or the other Secured Parties, as applicable, may determine in Agent’s sole discretion, whether or not then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Grantor then or thereafter with the Secured Parties. The rights under this Section 8.13 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates may have.

8.14 Acknowledgements. Each Grantor and each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(b) Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party have any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor or Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Grantors and Guarantors, on the one hand, and Agent and the other Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Grantors, Guarantors and the Secured Parties.

8.15 Additional Grantors/Guarantors. The Grantors shall cause each Subsidiary of Borrower required to become a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.1(l) of the Credit Agreement, within the time periods specified in Section 5.1(l) of the Credit Agreement, to guaranty Borrower’s, the other Guarantors’, the other Grantors’ and the other Loan Parties’ performance of the Secured Obligations and grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all property of such Person (to the extent such personal property would constitute Collateral) to secure its performance and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent a party thereto) and Borrower’s, each Guarantor’s, the other Grantors’ and the other Loan Parties’ performance of the Secured Obligations by becoming a party to this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery by any such Subsidiary of an instrument, agreement or document substantially in the form of Annex I hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Grantor and Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if such Subsidiary was originally named as a party hereto. The execution and delivery of any such instrument, agreement or document shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party hereto.

8.16 Releases.

(a) Subject to Section 8.18, at such time as the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full, the Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created hereby, and this Agreement and all guarantees and obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the reasonable written request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, Agent shall promptly deliver to the Grantors any Collateral held by Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents (including authorization to file UCC termination statements) as the Grantors shall reasonably request in writing to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a permanent manner by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement (in each case, other than to any Grantor), then Agent, at the reasonable written request and sole expense of Grantors, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the reasonable written request and sole expense of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the Stock of such Grantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a permanent manner in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement (in each case, other than to any Grantor); provided that Borrower shall have delivered to Agent, with reasonable written notice prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and estimated expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by Borrower and the other Loan Parties stating that such transaction is in compliance with (and is permitted by) the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

8.17 Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Grantor and each Guarantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement shall be construed as continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty

or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense that the Secured Obligations have been Paid in Full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor, Guarantor or any other Person against Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Grantor or Guarantor for the Secured Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor or Guarantor, Agent and the other Secured Parties may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against any other Grantor or Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor or Guarantor of any obligation or Liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Agent or any other Secured Party against any Grantor or Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

8.18 Reinstatement. Each Grantor and Guarantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person, including any Grantor or Guarantor, under any applicable bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause or otherwise, then, to the extent such payment or repayment is annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, refunded, repaid or returned, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s or Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered in connection with the foregoing payment, such Lien, other Collateral, guaranty or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor or Guarantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment or guaranty or other provision.

8.19 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor and each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations. During the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor, any Guarantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guarantor Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other Collateral, assets or property or any guaranty and without first joining any other Grantor, any other Guarantor or any other Loan Party in any proceeding.

8.20 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof and Section 6.6((b) of the Credit Agreement), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder or any other Loan Document shall

operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or any other Loan Document shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder or any other Loan Document on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

8.21 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or at equity.

8.22 Perfection Thresholds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Dollar thresholds that apply with respect to any Collateral before delivery actions or other actions are required to be taken by any Grantor under this Agreement shall be inapplicable (and no such Dollar threshold shall exist) during any period when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

8.23 Interpretation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any reference to “most recently delivered Perfection Certificate” (or words of similar import) shall mean a Perfection Certificate delivered to the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with Section 5.1(i) of the Credit Agreement.

8.24 Amendment and Restatement; Continuation of Obligations and Liens; No Novation.

(a) This Agreement does not extinguish the outstanding obligations of the Grantors evidenced by the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement or discharge or release any Lien or security interest or any other security under the Existing Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, all of which obligations, Liens, security interests and security continue under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (in each case, as expanded, increased and enlarged hereby, as applicable). Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the original obligations or other obligations (including any “Guarantor Obligations” or “Secured Obligations”) under the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as amended hereby and by the other Loan Documents, and shall continue at all times under this Agreement, as amended hereby and thereby.

(b) All of the security interests, Liens and collateral (including the “Collateral” (as defined therein, the “Existing Collateral”)) granted under the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement are hereby reaffirmed, ratified and confirmed in all respects and all parties hereto agree that such security interests, Liens and collateral (including the Existing Collateral) continue under this Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor acknowledges and confirms that, as of the Agreement Date, it has no defense, set off, claim or counterclaim arising on or prior to the Agreement Date against any of the Secured Parties with regard to the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations created under the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement and the Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents to secure the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations (including the “Guarantor Obligations”, the “Secured Obligations” and the “Obligations,” as applicable) of the Grantors to the Secured Parties under the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, and that the term “Obligations” as used in the Loan Documents (or any other term used therein to describe or refer to the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Grantors to the Secured Parties) includes, without limitation, the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations (including the Guarantor Obligations and the Secured Obligations) of the Guarantors and the Grantors under this Agreement, as the same further may be amended, modified, supplemented and/or restated from time to time. The Loan Documents and all

agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 8.24. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Loan Documents to the “Guaranty and Security Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Loan Documents to (i) a “Guarantor” or the “Guarantors” shall be deemed to refer to the defined terms “Guarantor” or the “Guarantors” (as applicable) under this Agreement, (ii) the “Guarantor Obligations” shall be deemed to refer to the defined term “Guarantor Obligations” under this Agreement and (iii) the “Secured Obligations” shall be deemed to refer to the defined term “Secured Obligations” under this Agreement. Cross-references in the Loan Documents to particular section numbers in the Existing Guaranty and Security Agreement shall be deemed to be cross-references to the corresponding sections, as applicable, of this Agreement.

(d) The provisions of Sections 6.26, 6.27 and 6.28 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

FORM OF JOINDER TO GUARANTY AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This JOINDER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of [ ], 20[ ] is executed by the undersigned (each, a “New Grantor”) in favor of Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., as Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in connection with that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement dated as of May 2, 2019 by and among Agent and the Guarantors and Grantors party thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty and Security Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are being used herein as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement, or if not defined therein, in the Credit Agreement (as defined therein).

Each New Grantor is required to execute this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.15 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each New Grantor hereby agrees as follows:

1. Each New Grantor assumes all the obligations of a Grantor and a Guarantor under the Guaranty and Security Agreement and agrees that such New Grantor is a Grantor and a Guarantor and bound as a Grantor and a Guarantor under the terms of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, as if it had been an original signatory to the Guaranty and Security Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, such New Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably mortgages, pledges, assigns, hypothecates and transfers to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing Lien on and security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to all of the Collateral owned by such New Grantor to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations.

2. Schedules 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement are hereby amended to add the information relating to each New Grantor set out on Schedules 1, 1A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively, hereof. Each New Grantor hereby makes to Agent and the other Secured Parties the representations and warranties set forth in the Guaranty and Security Agreement applicable to such New Grantor and the applicable Collateral and confirms that such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier) as of the date hereof after giving effect to such amendment to such Schedules (and without giving effect to any specific earlier date).

3. In furtherance of its obligations under Section 5.2 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, each New Grantor agrees to deliver to Agent appropriately complete UCC financing statements naming such New Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, and describing its Collateral and such other documentation as Agent (or its successors or assigns) may require to evidence, protect and perfect the Liens created by the Guaranty and Security Agreement, as modified hereby. Each New Grantor acknowledges the authorizations given to Agent and the other Secured Parties under Section 5.9 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement and otherwise.

4. Each New Grantor’s address for notices under the Guaranty and Security Agreement shall be the address of Borrower set forth in Section 6.1 the Credit Agreement and each New Grantor hereby appoints Borrower as its agent to receive notices hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

ANNEX 1 - 1

5. Agent acknowledges that upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each New Grantor shall have the rights, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations of a Grantor and Guarantor under the Guaranty and Security Agreement.

6. This Agreement is a Loan Document. This Agreement shall be deemed to be part of, and a modification to, the Guaranty and Security Agreement and shall be governed by all the terms and provisions of the Guaranty and Security Agreement, with respect to the modifications intended to be made to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, which terms are incorporated herein by reference, are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect as valid and binding agreements of each New Grantor enforceable against such Person. Each New Grantor hereby waives notice of Agent’s acceptance of this Agreement. Each such New Grantor will deliver an executed original of this Agreement to Agent. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each party hereto on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

7. The provisions of Sections 8.10, 8.11 and 8.12 of the Guaranty and Security Agreement shall apply hereto mutatis mutandis.
