(a) No Grantor shall hereafter establish and maintain any Securities Account or Commodity Account with any Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary (excluding for purposes of this Section 4.16 money market accounts created by a Grantor in the ordinary course of business for the purpose of funding temporary investments of cash used in the day-to-day of operations of such Grantor’s business) unless (i) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary shall be reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent, and (ii) such Securities Intermediary or Commodity Intermediary, as the case may be, and such Grantor shall have duly executed and delivered a control agreement with respect to such Securities Account or Commodity Account, as the case may be.

The provisions of this Section 4.1 6(a ) shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a Securities Account for which the Collateral Agent or its nominee or custodian is the Securities Intermediary. No Grantor shall grant Control over any Investment Property that constitutes Collateral to any person other than the ABL Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent.
(b) As between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Grantors shall bear the investment risk with respect to the Investment Property and Securities, and the risk of loss of, damage to, or the destruction of, the Investment Property and Securities, whether in the possession of, or maintained
as a security entitlement or deposit by, or subject to the Control of, the Collateral Agent, a Securities Intermediary, a Commodity Intermediary, any Grantor or any other Person.
(c) If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral shall become evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record with an individual face value in excess of $500,000 (or, with respect to all such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable records, an aggregate face value in excess of $1,000,000),other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule VIII hereto, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Grantor acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent Control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 20I of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record.
(d) If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit now or hereafter issued having a face value in an amount in excess of $500,000 (or with respect to all such Letters of Credit, having an aggregate face value in an amount in excess of $1,000,000), upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and such Grantor shall, at the request of the Collateral Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) arranging for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit and to cause the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit to be paid directly to the Collateral Agent, or (ii) arranging for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be paid directly to the Collateral Agent and applied as provided in the Indenture.
(e) (i) If and so long as any ABL Credit Agreement is in effect and contains the provisions in Section 5.14 of the existing ABL Credit Agreement or other analogous provisions with respect to cash management (“ABL Cash Management Requirements”),each Grantor agrees to enter into and maintain in effect a Blocked Account Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit M to the ABL Credit Agreement (or in such other form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) with the banks with which such Grantor maintains accounts into which the DDAs (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) are concentrated (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”) within the time period prescribed by the ABL Credit Agreement; provided, however, that the obligations of the Company and each Grantor with respect to such Deposit Accounts at JPMorgan Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A. at the Issue Date shall be governed by the next sentence. With respect to each Deposit Account of any Grantor as to which the ABL Collateral Agent (or its agent) has Control as of the Issue Date, the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to enter into a DACA by December 31,2009and if a DACA with respect to any such Deposit Account as to which the ABL Collateral Agent has Control is not entered into and in effect by December 31,2009, to close such Deposit Account. After December 31,2009, and if and so long as ABL Cash Management Requirements are in effect, no Grantor shall establish or maintain any Deposit Account as to which the ABL Collateral Agent has Control unless a DACA with respect to such Deposit Account has been entered into and is in effect.
(ii) If ABL Cash Management Requirements are not in effect, (A) each Grantor agrees to enter and maintain in effect into a Blocked Account Agreement or a DACA with the banks with which such Grantor maintains any Deposit Account and covering such Deposit Accounts; provided, that, no Grantor shall be required to execute and deliver a Blocked Account Agreement or a DACA for, or grant the Collateral Agent control over, any Deposit Account the daily balance of which, when added to
the daily balance of each other Deposit Accounts with respect to which a Blocked Account Agreement or a DACA has not been executed and delivered in accordance with this Section 4.16, is in the aggregate for all such Deposit Accounts less than the De Minimis Deposit Amount (each such Deposit Account, a “De Minimis Deposit Account”),(B) each Grantor shall further execute and deliver such other agreements and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require to grant the Collateral Agent Control over all Deposit Accounts (other than De Minimis Deposit Accounts) and (C) no Grantor shall establish any Deposit Account, unless the applicable Grantor has complied in full with the provisions of this Section 4.l6(e)(ii) with respect to such Deposit Account (except to the extent such Deposit Account is a De Minimis Deposit Account). “De Minimis Deposit Amount” means an amount equal to the highest five (5) Business Day moving average during the last full fiscal quarter during which ABL Cash Management Requirements were in effect of the aggregate amount held at the end of each Business Day in Deposit Accounts of the Company and the other Grantors that were not Blocked Accounts.
Section 4.17 Joinder of Additional Grantors. Upon the formation or acquisition of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company that is required to be a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.17 of the Indenture, then the Grantors shall, at the Grantors’ expense, cause such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an Accession Agreement and to comply with the requirements of Section 4.17 of the Indenture, within the time periods specified therein, and, upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Grantor” for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such Accession Agreement shall not require the consent of any Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
Section 6.01 Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) or other applicable Law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent shall include, without limitation, the right to take any or all of the following actions at the same or different times:
(a) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, General Intangibles (including Payment Intangibles), Letter-of-Credit Rights, Instruments, Chattel Paper, Documents, and Investment Property, the Collateral Agent may collect the Collateral with or without the taking of possession of any of the Collateral.
(b) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Accounts, the Collateral Agent may: (i) demand, collect and receive any amounts relating thereto, as the Collateral Agent may determine; (ii) commence and prosecute any actions in any court for the purposes of collecting any such Receivables and
enforcing any other rights in respect thereof;(iii) defend, settle or compromise any action brought and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may reasonably deem appropriate; (iv) without limiting the Collateral Agent’s rights set forth in Section 5.03 hereof, receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to any Grantor and endorse checks, notes, drafts, acceptances, money orders, bills of lading, warehouse receipts or other instruments or documents evidencing payment, shipment or storage of the goods giving rise to such Receivables or securing or relating to such Receivables, on behalf of and in the name of such Grantor; and (v) sell, assign, transfer, make any agreement in respect of, or otherwise deal with or exercise rights in respect of, any such Receivables or the goods or services which have given rise thereto, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof for all purposes.
(c) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, the Collateral Agent may: (i) exercise all rights of any Grantor with respect thereto, including without limitation, the right to exercise all voting and corporate rights at any meeting of the shareholders of the issuer of any Investment Property and to exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any Investment Property as if the Collateral Agent was the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, at its discretion, any and all of any Investment Property upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof, all without liability; (ii) transfer such Collateral at any time to itself, or to its nominee, and receive the income thereon and hold the same as Collateral hereunder or apply it to the Obligations; and demand, xxx for, collect or make any compromise or settlement it deems desirable. The Grantors recognize that (i) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Investment Property by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77, (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the Securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”),but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Investment Property for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (ii) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Investment Property were sold at public sales, (iii) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Investment Property to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Grantor shall be required to register, or cause the registration of, any Investment Property under the Securities Act or any Blue Sky Laws.
(d) With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(e) With or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, the Collateral Agent may enter upon, occupy, and use any premises owned or occupied by each Grantor, and may exclude the Grantors from such premises or portion thereof as may have been so entered upon, occupied, or used by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to remove any of the Collateral from any such premises upon the Collateral Agent’s taking possession
thereof, and may render any Collateral unusable to the Grantors. In no event shall the Collateral Agent be liable to any Grantor for use or occupancy by the Collateral Agent of any premises pursuant to this Section 6.01, nor for any charge (such as wages for the Grantors’ employees and utilities) incurred in connection with the Collateral Agent’s exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f) The Collateral Agent may require any Grantor to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at the Grantor’s sole risk and expense at a place or places which are reasonably convenient to both the Collateral Agent and such Grantor.
(g) Each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to applicable Law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
(h) Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value, or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market (in which event the Collateral Agent shall provide the Grantors such advance notice as may be practicable under the circumstances), the Collateral Agent shall give the Grantors 10 days’ prior written notice, by authenticated record, of the time and place of any proposed sale. Any such notice shall (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (iii) contain the information specified in Section 9-6 13 of the UCC, (iv) be authenticated and (v) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of the UCC; provided that, if the Collateral Agent fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that such written notice shall satisfy all requirements for notice to that Grantor which are imposed under the UCC or other applicable Law with respect to the exercise of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder upon default. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
(i) Any public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by the Collateral Agent on credit, the Obligations shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment in full is received thereon by the Collateral Agent. In the event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply the proceeds from such resale in accordance with the terms of Section 6.02 of this Agreement.
(j) At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6.01, the Collateral Agent or any other Seemed Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on
Account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party from any Grantor on account of the Obligations as a credit against the purchase price, and the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.
(k) For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion Thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.
(I) As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suitor suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell he Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver.
(m) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Grantor hereby waives all rights of demand, redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
Section 6.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with the provisions of Section6.10 of the Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent(including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding),the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
Section 6.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property and Other Property. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Article, effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent(and its agents and contractors)(i) an irrevocable, non-exclusive license(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors)to use, license or sub-license any of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) the right to utilize(exercisable without any compensation to the Grantors) all other property and assets of the Grantors(including, without limitation, furniture, fixtures and equipment)to the extent necessary or appropriate to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral and to the extent such right can be granted by the Grantors without the consent of any third party. The foregoing rights may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sub-licenseor other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Note Document shall affect any right that, the Collateral Agent, the Trustee, any Holder or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document against any of the Grantors or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(b) To the extent that a Lien permitted by clauses(ix),(xi),(xii),(xiii),(xvi),(xxiv), (xxvi i)and (xxxii)of the definition of Permitted Liens in the Indenture is granted and the holder of such Lien requests, the Collateral Agent will execute any documents required to demonstrate to such holder that the Lien is a Permitted Lien and any requisite priority thereof, and, to the extent reasonably necessary, take appropriate steps to provide for the release of the Collateral.
Section 7.15 Headings and Recitals. The recitals at the beginning of this Agreement and the headings of the sections and subsections hereof are provided for convenience only and shall not be construed as representations made by any Grantor, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any provision of this Agreement.
