securities of any Domestic Subsidiary of such Non-U.S. Grantor in the future issued to or otherwise
acquired by any such Non-U.S. Grantor and (C) any promissory notes (which may be global notes) and

SECTION 2.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. (a) Each Grantor agrees to deliver or
cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent any and all certificates, instruments or other
documents representing or evidencing Pledged Securities promptly after the acquisition thereof;
provided, however, that such Grantor shall have no obligation to deliver any Pledged Debt
Securities in an outstanding principal amount equal to $3,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be
reasonably approved, and notified to Holdings, by the Applicable Authorized Representative) or
less.
(b) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (i) any certificate, instrument or document
representing or evidencing Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by undated stock or note powers

schedule shall be attached to, and shall supplement, Schedule II and made a part hereof; provided
that the failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of the pledge of
such Pledged Securities.
SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each Grantor, jointly with the other
Grantors and severally, represents, warrants and covenants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit
of the Secured Parties, that:
(a) Schedule II sets forth as of the date hereof a true and complete list, with
respect to such Grantor, of (i) all Equity Interests owned by such Grantor and required to

the case of Pledged Debt Securities, to the knowledge of such Grantor, are legal, valid and
binding obligations of the issuers thereof;
(c) except for the security interests granted hereunder (or otherwise permitted under
the Loan Documents), each Grantor (i) is and, subject to any transfers made in compliance
with the Loan Documents, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record,
of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II as owned by such Grantor, (ii) holds the
same free and clear of all
12
Liens, subject to any Liens permitted under the Loan Documents and (iii) will make no

or restrictions and limitations imposed by securities laws generally, the Pledged
Collateral is and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and none of the
Pledged Collateral is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal,
shareholders agreement, charter or by-law provisions or contractual restriction of any

Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by
the Collateral Agent of rights and remedies hereunder;
(e) each Grantor (i) has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral
pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated and (ii) will defend its
title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than any Lien created

Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a
legal, valid and perfected first priority lien upon and security interest in such Pledged
Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations; and
(g) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged
Collateral as set forth herein, and all action by any Grantor necessary to perfect the Lien
on the Pledged Collateral has been duly taken.
SECTION 2.04. Certification of Limited Liability Company Interests and Limited Partnership
Interests. Each Grantor shall not vote to enable or take any other action to cause any Subsidiary
thereof that is an issuer of any interest pledged hereunder in any limited liability company or
limited partnership that is not represented by a certificate and is not a “security” (within the
meaning of Article 8 of the New York UCC) as of the date hereof to elect or otherwise take any
action to cause such pledged limited liability company or limited partnership interest to be
represented by a certificate or be treated as a security for purposes of the New York UCC;
provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Subsidiary may take any such
action if the applicable Grantor notifies the Collateral Agent in writing of any such election or
action and, in such event, takes all steps necessary or advisable as requested by the Collateral
Agent (at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative) to establish the
Collateral Agent’s Control thereof before taking any such action.
13
SECTION 2.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations. The Collateral Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, shall have the right to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the
applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent or, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Applicable Authorized Representative
has so directed, in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as
sub-agent). Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other
communications material to the interests of the Secured Parties received by it with respect to
Pledged Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing any Pledged Securities for
certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.
SECTION 2.06. Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc. (a) Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent, acting at the written
direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, shall have given the Grantors notice of its
intent to exercise its rights under this Agreement (which notice shall be deemed to have been given
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under paragraph (g) or (h) of Article VII of
the Credit Agreement or an equivalent default section of any other Loan Document (it being
understood that the Applicable Authorized Representative shall provide the Collateral Agent with
notice of such an Event of Default)):
(i) Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other
consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part
thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; provided, however, that such rights and powers shall not be
exercised in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights
inuring to a holder of any Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of
the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.
(ii) The Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of the Applicable
Authorized Representative, shall execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to
be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and
other instruments as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of
enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it
is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above.
(iii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in
respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent and only to the extent that such
dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and are
otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the
Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents
14
and applicable law; provided, however, that any non-cash dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Securities, whether
resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding
Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange
for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a
result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to
which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the
Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by
such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and
apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the ratable benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form
as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (iii) shall not apply to dividends
between or among the Loan Parties and any Domestic Subsidiaries consisting only of
property subject to a perfected security interest under this Agreement; provided,
however, that the Loan Parties’ Agent, on behalf of the applicable Loan Parties,
notifies the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized Representative in
writing, specifically referring to this Section 2.06 at the time of such dividend
and take any actions required by law or reasonably requested by the Collateral
Agent (acting at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative)
to ensure the continuance of its perfected security interest in such property under
this Agreement.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the
Collateral Agent has received written notice from the Applicable Authorized Representative, after
the Collateral Agent shall have notified (or shall be deemed to have notified pursuant to Section
2.06(a)) the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section
2.06, then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that
such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall
cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have
the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest,
principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon
demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of
assignment). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an
account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and
shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default
have been cured or waived and each applicable Grantor has delivered to the Applicable Authorized
Representative a certificate of a Responsible Officer to that effect, the Collateral Agent shall
promptly, after receiving written notice from the Applicable Authorized Representative that all
such
15
Events of Default have been cured or waived, return to each applicable Grantor (without
interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would
otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06
to the extent any amounts remain in such account.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the
Collateral Agent has received written notice from the Applicable Authorized Representative, after
the Collateral Agent shall have notified (or shall be deemed to have notified pursuant to Section
2.06(a)) the Grantors of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section
2.06, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is
entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the
Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights
shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that the
Collateral Agent shall from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, permit the Grantors
to exercise such rights; provided further that after all Events of Default have been cured or
waived, and the Collateral Agent shall have received from the Applicable Authorized Representative
a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Loan Parties’ Agent to that effect, each Grantor
shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor
would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section
2.06.
(d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Grantors exercising its rights under
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section 2.06 (i) may be given by telephone if promptly confirmed in
writing, (ii) may be given to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii)
may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) in part without
suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent acting at the written direction of
the Applicable Authorized Representative) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral
Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01. Security Interest. (a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case
may be, in full of the Obligations, each U.S. Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral

hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the ratable
benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”), in all of such U.S.
Grantor’s right, title or interest in, to and under any and all of the following assets and

(xiv) | to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing. |
(b) Each U.S. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Applicable Authorized Representative
at any time and from time to time to file on behalf of the Collateral Agent in any relevant
jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the
Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) describe the collateral
covered thereby in any manner that the Applicable Authorized Representative determines, including
by indicating the Article 9 Collateral as “all assets” of such U.S. Grantor or words of similar
effect (including describing any significant exclusions to the Article 9 Collateral), and (ii)
contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable
jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A)
whether such U.S. Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any
17
organizational identification number issued to such U.S. Grantor and (B) in the case of a financing statement
filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9
Collateral relates. Each U.S. Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent
and the Applicable Authorized Representative promptly upon request.
Each U.S. Grantor also ratifies its authorization for the Applicable Authorized Representative
to file on behalf of the Collateral Agent in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing
statements or amendments thereto if filed prior to the date hereof.
The Applicable Authorized Representative is further authorized to file on behalf of the
Collateral Agent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright
Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country) such documents as may
be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or
protecting the Security Interest granted by each U.S. Grantor in the Trademarks, Copyrights or
Patents owned by such U.S. Grantor and naming such U.S. Grantor or the U.S. Grantors as debtors and
the Collateral Agent as secured party.
(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of
any U.S. Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral (other than the duties
expressly created hereunder).
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Article
III shall be subject to the Agreed Security Principles and in no event shall the Security Interest
attach to, and “Article 9 Collateral” shall not include, (i) any contract, agreement or license
(each, a “Restrictive Agreement”) to which any U.S. Grantor is a party or any of its rights or
interests thereunder to the extent and for so long as the grant of the Security Interest shall
constitute or result in (A) the unenforceability, abandonment or invalidation of any material right
of such U.S. Grantor thereunder or (B) a breach or termination pursuant to the terms of, or a
default under, any such Restrictive Agreement (other than to the extent that any such term would be
rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the New York UCC or any
other applicable law of similar effect); provided that the Security Interest shall attach
immediately at such time as the condition causing such unenforceability, abandonment or
invalidation shall be remedied and, to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any
portion of such contract or agreement that does not result in any of the consequences specified in
(A) or (B), including any proceeds of such contract or agreement, (ii) any asset or property that
is owned by any U.S. Grantor as of the date hereof or that is purchased or otherwise acquired in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and subject to a Lien permitted by the Loan
Documents or effective contractual restriction (other than a contractual restriction between or
among Holdings and/or one or more Subsidiaries thereof) if the terms of such Lien or contractual
restriction would prohibit the grant of a Lien in such assets or property under this Agreement;
provided, however, that such U.S. Grantor shall use commercially reasonable
18
efforts to obtain consent to
granting such a Lien hereunder if the relevant asset or property is material and seeking such
consent will not adversely affect the business of such U.S. Grantor or its commercial
relationships, (iii) any vehicle covered by a certificate of title or ownership, (iv) any Letter of
Credit Rights to the extent any U.S. Grantor is required by applicable law to apply the proceeds of
a drawing of such Letter of Credit for a specified purpose, (v) assets as to which the Applicable
Authorized Representative shall determine in its reasonable discretion in consultation with the
Loan Parties that the costs of obtaining a security interest therein (including any material tax
costs to the Loan Parties taken as a whole) is excessive in relation to the benefit accruing to the
Secured Parties, (vi) any property excluded from the definition of Pledged Collateral by virtue of
the proviso to Section 2.01(a)(i) hereof, (vii) any property to the extent that the grant of a
security interest over such property would conflict with the fiduciary duties of the directors of
the relevant U.S. Grantor or contravene any legal prohibition or result in a risk of personal or
criminal liability on the part of any officer; provided, however, that such U.S. Grantor shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to overcome any such obstacle and (viii) any property to the extent
that the Applicable Authorized Representative reasonably determines in consultation with the Loan
Parties that the grant of a security interest over such property would result in a material tax
cost to the relevant U.S. Grantor.
SECTION 3.02. Representations and Warranties. Each U.S. Grantor, jointly with the other U.S.
Grantors and severally, represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, that:

Adverse Change), 3.09 (Litigation; Compliance with Laws), 3.10 (Agreements), 3.19 (Security

Representative based upon the information provided to the Applicable Authorized
Representative, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties in the Perfection Certificate
for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Section 2 of the
Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the Loan Parties’ Agent on behalf of
the Loan Parties to the Applicable Authorized Representative after the Closing Date in the
case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.06 or 5.12 of the Credit
Agreement), which are all the filings, recordings and registrations
19
(other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark
Office and the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in
the Article 0 Xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights)
that are necessary to publish notice of and protect the validity of, and to establish a
legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the
ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of, all Article 9 Collateral (excluding
the Specified Assets) in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording
or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its
territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording,
rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except
as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.
Each Grantor represents and warrants that a fully executed agreement in the form hereof (or
a fully executed short form agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Applicable Authorized Representative), and containing a description of all Article 9
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United States Patents and
United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration
applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights, has been delivered to
the Applicable Authorized Representative (with a copy to the Collateral Agent) for
recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright
Office pursuant to 00 X.X.X. §000, 00 X.X.X. §0000 or 17 U.S.C. §205 and the regulations
thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any
other necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of, and to establish a legal, valid
and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the ratable benefit
of the Secured Parties) in respect of, all Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing,
recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and
its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording,
rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are
necessary to perfect the Security Interest as required pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and
Copyrights acquired or developed after the date hereof).
(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all
Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, (ii) subject
to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9
Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or
registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any
political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code or other applicable law in such jurisdictions and (iii) a security interest
that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be
perfected upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement (or a fully executed short form
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Authorized
Representative) with the United States Patent and Trademark Office
20
and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable. The Security Interest is and
shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than Liens
expressly permitted pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the U.S. Grantors free and clear of any Lien,
except for Liens permitted under the Loan Documents. No U.S. Grantor has filed or
consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the
Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral,
(ii) any assignment in which any U.S. Grantor assigns any Collateral or any security
agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, (iii) any notice under
the Assignment of Claims Act or (iv) any assignment in which any U.S. Grantor assigns any
Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9
Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing
statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is
still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
No Grantor holds any Commercial Tort Actions except as indicated on the Perfection
Certificate.

and the Applicable Authorized Representative in writing of any change in (i) its legal name, (ii)

Authorized Representative with certified organizational documents reflecting any of the changes
described in the first sentence of this paragraph. Each U.S. Grantor agrees not to effect or
permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless it promptly makes, or causes to be
made, all filings under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the
Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and
perfected first priority security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral.
(b) Each U.S. Grantor agrees to maintain, at its own cost and expense, such complete and
accurate records with respect to the Article 9 Collateral owned by it as is consistent with its
current practices and in accordance with such prudent and standard practices used in industries
that are the same as or similar to those in which such U.S. Grantor is engaged, but in any event to
include complete accounting records indicating all payments and proceeds received with respect to
any part of the Article 9 Collateral, and, in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles,
following an Event of Default, promptly to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent and the
Applicable Authorized Representative a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized Representative showing the
identity, amount and location of any and all material Article 9 Collateral.
(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the
preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of the Credit Agreement,
21
the Loan Parties’ Agent, on behalf of the Loan Parties, shall deliver to the Collateral Agent
and the Applicable Authorized Representative a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the
Loan Parties’ Agent certifying that all Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including
fixture filings, as applicable) containing a description of the Article 9 Collateral have been
filed of record in each governmental, municipal or other appropriate office in each jurisdiction
identified pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.03 to the extent necessary to protect and
perfect the Security Interest for a period of not less than 18 months after the date of such
certificate (except as noted therein with respect to any continuation statements to be filed within
such period).
(d) Each U.S. Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all actions necessary to defend
title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the
Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not
expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Document.
(e) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, promptly to execute, acknowledge, deliver and
cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the
Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative, may
from time to time reasonably request, in accordance with the Agreed Security Principles, to better
assure, obtain, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies
created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of
any financing or continuation statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in
connection herewith or therewith. If any amount in excess of $3,000,000 (or such greater amount as
may be reasonably approved, and notified to Holdings, by the Applicable Authorized Representative)
payable to any U.S. Grantor under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral shall be or
become evidenced by any promissory note (which may be a global note) or other instrument, such note
or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, together with an
undated instrument of transfer duly executed in blank in a manner satisfactory to the Collateral
Agent.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each U.S. Grantor hereby authorizes the
Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the U.S. Grantors, to supplement this Agreement by
supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to identify specifically any asset
or item that constitutes registered or applied for Copyrights, Copyright Licenses, issued or
applied for Patents, Patent Licenses, registered or applied for Trademarks (except for
“intent-to-use” applications for trademark filed pursuant to Section 1(b) of the Xxxxxx Act, 15
U.S.C. § 1051) or Trademark Licenses acquired by the U.S. Grantor after the date hereof; provided
that the Collateral Agent shall only supplement Schedule III at the written direction of the
Applicable Authorized Representative; provided, however, that any U.S. Grantor shall have the
right, exercisable within 30 days after it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the
specific identification of such Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent and the Applicable
Authorized Representative in writing of any inaccuracy (i) with respect to such supplement or
additional schedule or (ii) of the representations and warranties made by
22
such U.S. Grantor hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each U.S. Grantor agrees that it
will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as shall be necessary in order
that all representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct with respect to such
Collateral to the extent provided herein within 60 days after the date it has been notified by the
Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Collateral.
(f) The Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized
Representative, shall have the right to discharge past due Taxes, assessments, charges, fees,
Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, and shall pay for the maintenance and
preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any U.S. Grantor fails to do so as required
by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and each U.S. Grantor jointly
and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any
reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization (such
reasonable expenses being additional Obligations secured hereby); provided, however, that nothing
in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any U.S. Grantor from the performance of, or
imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any
Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to
Taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(g) Each U.S. Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument
relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and
each U.S. Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent
and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
(h) No U.S. Grantor shall make or permit to be made an assignment, pledge or hypothecation of
the Article 9 Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Article 9 Collateral or
permit any notice to be filed under the Assignment of Claims Act, except, in each case, as
permitted by the Loan Documents. No U.S. Grantor shall make or permit to be made any transfer of
the Article 9 Collateral and each Grantor shall remain at all times in possession or otherwise in
control of the Article 9 Collateral owned by it, except as permitted by the Loan Documents.
(i) No U.S. Grantor shall, without the Collateral Agent’s prior written consent (acting at the
written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative), grant any extension of the time of
payment of any Accounts included in the Article 9 Collateral, compromise, compound or settle the
same for less than the full amount thereof, release, wholly or partly, any Person liable for the
payment thereof or allow any credit or discount whatsoever thereon, other than extensions, credits,
discounts, compromises, compoundings or settlements granted or made in the ordinary course of
business and consistent with its current practices and in accordance with such prudent
23
and standard practice used in industries that are the same as or similar to those in which
such U.S. Grantor is engaged or as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents.
(j) Each U.S. Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and
all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such U.S. Grantor’s true
and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article
9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such U.S. Grantor on any check,
draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for
making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event that any U.S. Grantor
at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required
hereby or under the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the
Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of any U.S. Grantor
hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such
policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the
Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with
this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges
relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the U.S. Grantors to the Collateral Agent and
shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.
(k) Each Grantor shall maintain, in form and manner satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and
the Applicable Authorized Representative, records of its Chattel Paper and its books, records and
documents evidencing or pertaining thereto.
SECTION 3.04. Covenants Regarding Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) Each U.S. Grantor
will be required to register (or to take other commercially reasonable actions with respect to)
Security Interests in Intellectual Property owned by such U.S. Grantor and required to be pledged
hereunder solely in the United States, provided, however, that, with respect to Intellectual
Property owned by any U.S. Grantor that is material to the Loan Parties taken as a whole, to the
extent the registration of a Security Interest in (or the taking of any other commercially
reasonable actions with respect to) such Intellectual Property in any other jurisdiction is
necessary to ensure that the Secured Parties would be able to realize upon the value of the
relevant Intellectual Property in the event of an enforcement action hereunder, such U.S. Grantor
shall be required to register such Security Interest or take such other actions in such other
jurisdiction (provided that such jurisdiction is a jurisdiction in which one or more Loan Parties
are organized at such time) as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the
Applicable Authorized Representative) may reasonably request, taking into account the cost to the
Loan Parties of such registration in relation to the benefit accruing to the Secured Parties, it
being understood that on the Closing Date no U.S. Grantor shall be required to register or take
such other actions with respect to any of its Intellectual Property outside of the United States.
(b) Each U.S. Grantor agrees that it will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts
not to permit any of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act,
24
whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such U.S. Grantor’s business may become
invalidated or dedicated to the public, and agrees that it shall take commercially reasonable steps
with respect to any material products covered by any such Patent to xxxx such products with the
relevant patent number to the extent it determines necessary and sufficient using commercially
reasonable business judgment to establish and preserve its maximum rights under applicable patent
laws.
(c) Each U.S. Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
licensees or its sublicensees, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such U.S. Grantor’s
business, to (i) maintain such Trademark in full force, free from any adjudication of abandonment
or invalidity for non-use, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such
Trademark, (iii) display such Trademark with notice of Federal or foreign registration to the
extent it determines necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable
law and (iv) not knowingly use or knowingly permit its licensees’ use of such Trademark in
violation of any third-party rights.
(d) Each U.S. Grantor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
licensees or its sublicensees to, for each work covered by a Copyright material to the conduct of
such U.S. Grantor’s business that it publishes, displays and distributes, use appropriate copyright
notice as necessary and sufficient to establish and preserve its rights under applicable copyright
laws.
(e) Each U.S. Grantor shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized
Representative promptly if it knows that any Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct
of such U.S. Grantor’s business is reasonably likely to become abandoned, lost or dedicated to the
public other than by expiration, or of any materially adverse determination or development
(including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any court or similar
office of any country) regarding such U.S. Grantor’s ownership of any such Patent, Trademark or
Copyright or its right to register, keep or maintain the same.
(f) Each U.S. Grantor shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized
Representative, each year, at or prior to the time of delivery of annual financial statements with
respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 5.04(a) of the Credit Agreement, of each
material Patent acquired in its own name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any
similar office in any other country, each registration of any material Trademark with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office in any other country and each registration
of any material Copyright with the United States Copyright Office or any similar office in any
other country acquired in its own name during the preceding calendar year and (ii) upon the
reasonable request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Applicable
Authorized Representative), execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and
papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security
interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright. Each U.S. Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral
Agent as its attorney-in-fact to execute
25
and file such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby
ratified and confirmed; such power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.
(g) Each U.S. Grantor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with the
practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United
States Copyright Office or any similar office in any other country with respect to maintaining and
pursuing each material application relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (and obtaining
the relevant grant or registration) material to the conduct of such U.S. Grantor’s business and to
maintain (i) each issued Patent and (ii) the registrations of each Trademark and each Copyright, in
each case, that is material to the conduct of such U.S. Grantor’s business, including timely
filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment
of maintenance fees, and, if any U.S. Grantor believes necessary in its reasonable business
judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.
(h) In the event that any U.S. Grantor knows or has reason to believe that any Article 9
Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the conduct of its business
has been or is about to be infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third Person, such U.S.
Grantor promptly shall notify the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized Representative and
shall, if consistent with good business judgment, promptly contact such third Person, and if
necessary or advisable in such Grantor’s reasonable business judgment, xxx for infringement,
misappropriation or dilution and to recover any and all damages for such infringement,
misappropriation or dilution, and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the
circumstances to protect such Article 9 Collateral.
(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each U.S. Grantor
shall use its best efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals by the licensor of each
Copyright License, Patent License or Trademark License, and each other material License, to effect
the assignment of all such U.S. Grantor’s right, title and interest thereunder to the Collateral
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, or its designee in accordance with Section
4.01(a).
SECTION 3.05. Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, no U.S. Grantor has any Deposit
Accounts other than the accounts listed on Schedule 11 of the Perfection Certificate. Each
applicable U.S. Grantor shall execute and deliver, and cause the applicable Depositary Bank to
execute and deliver, to the Collateral Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to
each such Deposit Account, other than any Deposit Account with an average daily balance of less
than $100,000 (and such other Deposit Account as the Applicable Authorized Representative may
reasonably otherwise agree to exclude), within 90 days after the Closing Date or such longer period
as the Applicable Authorized Representative may agree (in its absolute discretion). Except as the
Applicable Authorized Representative may reasonably agree otherwise, no U.S. Grantor shall
hereafter establish or maintain any Deposit Account unless such U.S. Grantor executes and delivers,
and causes the applicable Depositary Bank to execute and deliver, to the Collateral Agent a Deposit
Account Control Agreement with respect to such Deposit Account as promptly as practicable after the
establishment of such Deposit
26
Account (and in any event within 90 days of the establishment of such Deposit Account or such
longer period as the Applicable Authorized Representative may agree (in its absolute discretion)).
The provisions of this Section 3.05 shall not apply to any Deposit Account as to which the
Collateral Agent is the Depositary Bank’s “customer” (as defined in New York UCC Section 4-104).
No U.S. Grantor shall grant Control over any Deposit Account to any Person other than the
Collateral Agent other than in connection with a security interest permitted by the Loan Documents.
SECTION 3.06. Security Entitlements and Investment Property. As of the date hereof, no U.S.
Grantor has any Securities Accounts other than the accounts listed on Schedule 12 of the Perfection
Certificate. Each applicable U.S. Grantor shall execute and deliver, and cause the applicable
Securities Intermediary to execute and deliver, to the Collateral Agent a Securities Account
Control Agreement with respect to each such Securities Account within 90 days after the Closing
Date or such longer period as the Applicable Authorized Representative may agree (in its absolute
discretion). Except as the Applicable Authorized Representative may reasonably agree otherwise, no
U.S. Grantor shall hereafter establish or maintain any Securities Account unless such U.S. Grantor
executes and delivers, and causes the applicable Securities Intermediary to execute and deliver, to
the Collateral Agent a Securities Account Control Agreement with respect to such Securities Account
as promptly as practicable after the establishment of such Securities Account (and in any event
within 90 days of the establishment of such Securities Account or such longer period as the
Applicable Authorized Representative may agree (in its absolute discretion)). No U.S. Grantor
shall grant Control over any Securities Account to any Person other than the Collateral Agent other
than in connection with a security interest permitted by the Loan Documents. Except to the extent
otherwise provided in Article II, if any U.S. Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any
certificated securities, such U.S. Grantor shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to
the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly
executed in blank as the Collateral Agent, acting at the written direction of the Applicable
Authorized Representative, may from time to time specify. If any securities now or hereafter
acquired by any U.S. Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such U.S. Grantor or its nominee
directly by the issuer thereof, such U.S. Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and
the Applicable Authorized Representative thereof and, at the Applicable Authorized Representative’s
request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Applicable
Authorized Representative, cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the
Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of the relevant U.S. Grantor or its
nominee.
SECTION 3.07. Covenants Regarding Collateral Accounts. (a) The applicable U.S. Grantor
represents and warrants that, upon the execution of a Deposit Account Control Agreement, the
Collateral Agent will have a first priority perfected security interest in the Deposit Account
subject to such agreement (except with respect to Liens and rights of the relevant Depositary Bank
that are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents). The Collateral Agent agrees (and the Applicable
Authorized Representative is deemed to have agreed) with each U.S. Grantor that the Collateral
Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited
to any such
27
Deposit Account or give any notice of sole or exclusive control unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. The Collateral Agent also agrees to withdraw any such notice of sole
or exclusive control and promptly release to the relevant U.S. Grantor funds collected or held by
the Collateral Agent as a result of the exercise of sole or exclusive control to the extent such
funds have not been applied pursuant to Section 4.02, following the receipt by the Applicable
Authorized Representative and the Collateral Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the
Loan Parties’ Agent certifying that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
(b) The applicable U.S. Grantor represents and warrants that, upon the execution of a
Securities Account Control Agreement, the Collateral Agent will have a first priority perfected
security interest in the Securities Account subject to such agreement (except with respect to Liens
and rights of the relevant Securities Intermediary that are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents). The Collateral Agent agrees (and the Applicable Authorized Representative is deemed to
have agreed) with each U.S. Grantor that the Collateral Agent shall not give any Entitlement Orders
or instructions or directions to any Securities Intermediary with respect to such account, and
shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by such U.S.
Grantor or give any notice of sole or exclusive control over any accounts subject to the Collateral
Agent’s Control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The Collateral Agent
also agrees to withdraw any such notice of sole or exclusive control and promptly release to the
relevant U.S. Grantor funds or Financial Assets collected or held by the Collateral Agent as a
result of the exercise of sole or exclusive control to the extent such Financial Assets have not
been applied pursuant to Section 4.02, following receipt by the Applicable Authorized
Representative and the Collateral Agent of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Loan
Parties’ Agent certifying that such Event of Default has been cured or waived.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may (i)
retain, or instruct the relevant Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank to retain, all cash and
investments then held in any Collateral Account, (ii) liquidate, or instruct the relevant
Securities Intermediary or Depositary Bank to liquidate, any or all investments held therein and
(iii) withdraw any amounts held therein and apply such amounts as provided pursuant to Section
4.02.
(d) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if immediately available
cash on deposit in any Collateral Account is not sufficient to make any distribution or withdrawal
to be made pursuant hereto, the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Applicable
Authorized Representative) will cause to be liquidated, as promptly as practicable, such
investments held in or credited to such Collateral Account as shall be required to obtain
sufficient cash to make such distribution or withdrawal and, notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, such distribution or withdrawal shall not be made until such liquidation has taken place.
SECTION 3.08. Letter-of-Credit Rights. In the case of any Letter-of-Credit Rights of any U.S.
Grantor in any letter of credit exceeding $3,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be reasonably
approved, and notified to Holdings, by the
28
Applicable Authorized Representative) in value in existence on the date hereof or acquired
following the Closing Date, such U.S. Grantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
promptly obtain the consent of the issuer thereof and any nominated Person thereon to the
assignment of the proceeds of such letter of credit in accordance with Section 5-114(c) of the New
York UCC, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable
Authorized Representative.
SECTION 3.09. Commercial Tort Actions. All Commercial Tort Actions of each U.S. Grantor in
existence on the date of this Agreement, known to such U.S. Grantor after reasonable inquiry, are
described in Schedule 10 of the Perfection Certificate. If any U.S. Grantor shall at any time
after the date of this Agreement acquire a Commercial Tort Action in an amount (taking the greater
of the aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) of
$5,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be reasonably approved, and notified to Holdings, by the
Applicable Authorized Representative), such U.S. Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent
and the Applicable Authorized Representative thereof in a writing signed by such U.S. Grantor and
describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent in such writing a security
interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such
writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Applicable Authorized
Representative.
SECTION 3.10. Instruments. If any U.S. Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any
Instruments with a value in excess of $3,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be reasonably
approved, and notified to Holdings, by the Applicable Authorized Representative) such U.S. Grantor
shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such
undated instruments of endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral
Agent (acting at the written direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative) may from time
to time specify.
SECTION 3.11. Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. If any U.S. Grantor at any
time holds or acquires an interest in any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as
that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any
relevant jurisdiction) with a value in excess of $3,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be
reasonably approved, and notified to Holdings, by the Applicable Authorized Representative) such
U.S. Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Applicable Authorized
Representative thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction
of the Applicable Authorized Representative), shall take such action as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request to vest in the Collateral Agent control under Section 9-105 of the New York UCC
of such Electronic Chattel Paper or control under Section 201 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. The Collateral
Agent agrees with such U.S. Grantor that the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of
the Applicable Authorized Representative) will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the
Applicable Authorized Representative and so long as such procedures will not result in
29
the Collateral Agent’s loss of control, for the U.S. Grantor to make alterations to the
Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the New York UCC
or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to
allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would
occur after taking into account any action by such U.S. Grantor with respect to such Electronic
Chattel Paper or transferable record.
ARTICLE IV
Remedies
SECTION 4.01. Remedies upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, each Grantor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent or
any Person designated by the Collateral Agent on demand, and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent
shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times:
(a) with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to
cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such
Article 9 Collateral by the applicable U.S. Grantor to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on
an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such
terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of
the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall determine (other than in violation of any
then-existing licensing arrangements to the extent that waivers cannot be obtained), and (b) with
or without legal process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take
possession of the Article 9 Collateral and the Pledged Collateral and without liability for
trespass to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral or the Pledged Collateral may be
located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and the
Pledged Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under
the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right, subject to the
mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the
Collateral at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for
cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The
Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it or the Applicable Authorized
Representative deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to
Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of
any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the
purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and
each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and
appraisal
30
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.
The Collateral Agent shall give each applicable Grantor no less than 10 days’ written notice
(which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York
UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale
of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such
sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the
board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion
thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be
held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the
Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. Subject to pre-existing
licenses, at any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot
as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute
discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any
Collateral if it or the Applicable Authorized Representative shall determine not to do so,
regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The
Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale,
and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so
adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future
delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is
paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.01. 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. As an alternative
to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a
suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose under this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or
any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent
jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards
as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
In the event of a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies against the Collateral by the
Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other
disposition, the Collateral Agent may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral
at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of
the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment
of the purchase price for all or any portion of
31
the Collateral sold at any such sale or other disposition, to use and apply any of the
Obligations as a credit to be applied to the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale or other disposition.
The Collateral Agent may act through agents and attorneys-in-fact in the performance of its
duties under this Section 4.01 and shall be entitled to seek the written direction of the
Applicable Authorized Representative prior to taking any action hereunder.
SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer the
proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any
Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, to the Applicable Authorized
Representative for application (i) prior to the effectiveness of the First Lien Intercreditor
Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.20 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) upon the effectiveness
of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms thereof. Upon any sale of
Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or
under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the consideration by 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 4.03. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. Solely for the purpose of
enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time and
only for so long as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each U.S. Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or
other compensation to such U.S. Grantor), to use, license or sublicense any of the Article 9
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such U.S.
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. The use of such license by the
Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent (acting at the written
direction of the Applicable Authorized Representative), only upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense or other
transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Section 4.03 shall be
binding upon each U.S. Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.
SECTION 4.04. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Grantors in relation to the
Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter
enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such act and any such similar statute as from time to time
in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”), with respect to any disposition of the
Pledged Collateral
32
permitted hereunder. Each Grantor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities
Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral
Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also limit
the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral
could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations
affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral
under applicable “blue sky” or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or
effect. Each Grantor recognizes that, in light of such restrictions and limitations, the
Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to
those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account,
for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent,
in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale, whether or not a
registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or any part thereof
shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws, and (b) may approach and negotiate with a
limited number of potential purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such
sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other
terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.
In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall incur no
responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that
the Collateral Agent or the Applicable Authorized Representative, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the
possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred
until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a limited number of potential purchasers (or
a single potential purchaser) were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.04 will apply
notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales
prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.
SECTION 5.03. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other
instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Issuing Banks and
shall survive the execution and delivery
34
of the applicable Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Letters
of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or Issuing Bank or on their behalf
and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is
extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the
principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any
Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the aggregate L/C Exposure does not equal zero and so
long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.
SECTION 5.04. Binding Effect; Several Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective as to
any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been
delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of
the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Collateral Agent
and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan
Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and
assigns, except that no such Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or
obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or
transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated or permitted by the Loan Documents. This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party that is a
party hereto and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any
such Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations
of any other Loan Party hereunder.
SECTION 5.05. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is
referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such
party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral
Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns.
SECTION 5.06. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby appoints the
Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the
provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral
Agent or the Applicable Authorized Representative may deem necessary within the scope of the powers
granted to it hereunder to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such
Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks,
drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof,
(b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of
all or any of the Collateral, (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or xxxx of lading
relating to any of the Collateral, (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor, (e)
to commence and
35
prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent
jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any
rights in respect of any Collateral, (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any
actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral, (g) to notify, or to
require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent and
(h) subject to pre-existing licenses with third-party counterparties, to use, sell, assign,
transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the
Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were
the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided, however, that nothing herein
contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment
or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral
Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any
property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable
only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them
herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to
any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence, wilful
misconduct or bad faith as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and
nonappealable judgment.
SECTION 5.07. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION
HEREWITH SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 5.08. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, the
Applicable Authorized Representative, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or
power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or
discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral
Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would
otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any
Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section 5.08, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank
may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Loan Party
in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or
other circumstances.
36
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except
pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Loan
Party or Loan Parties party hereto with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is
to apply.
SECTION 5.09. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF
ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS,
AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.09.
SECTION 5.10. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and
therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect
the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 5.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different
parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of
which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as
provided in Section 5.04. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile
transmission or other customary means of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be effective
as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.
SECTION 5.12. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the
construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 5.13. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Grantors hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the
00
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx xx Xxxxxxx, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from
any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent,
the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Grantor or its respective properties in the
courts of any jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the Grantors 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 in
any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 5.13. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 5.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will
affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.
(d) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Closing Date Borrower as its
authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement that may be instituted by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative
Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in any Federal or state court in the State of New York. Each
Grantor hereby agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered
mail addressed to the Closing Date Borrower, with written notice of said service to such Person at
the address above shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought
in any such court.
SECTION 5.14. Termination or Release. (a) This Agreement, the Security Interest, the pledge
of the Pledged Collateral and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate, and the
Grantors shall automatically be released from their obligations hereunder, when all the Obligations
(excluding contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield
protection as to which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders
have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the aggregate L/C Exposure has been
reduced to zero and the Issuing Banks have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement.
38
(b) A Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security
Interests created hereunder in the Collateral of such Grantor shall be automatically released (i)
upon the release of the guarantee of such Grantor of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan
Documents, (ii) to the extent necessary to enable such Grantor to consummate any merger,
amalgamation, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all assets, to or with any Person that
is not and is not required to become a Grantor under any Loan Document, in each case to the extent
not prohibited under the Loan Documents (or in respect of which all necessary consents or waivers
are granted) and (iii) to the extent necessary to facilitate the assumption by a successor in
interest to the obligations of a Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under
the Loan Documents to any Person that is not (and is not required to be) a Grantor party hereto,
or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent under any Loan Document to the release of the
Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.
(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above,
the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense,
all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and such other documents that such Grantor shall
reasonably request (including any releases requested by such Grantor in connection with any
factoring or similar arrangements) to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and
delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.14 shall be without recourse to, or representation
or warranty by, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of
Section 6.07, the Loan Parties shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for all costs and
out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in
connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.14.
SECTION 5.15. Additional Subsidiaries. Any Subsidiary that after the date hereof is required
to guarantee or otherwise become a party hereto pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement
shall enter into this Agreement as a U.S. Grantor or a Non-U.S. Grantor, as applicable, upon
becoming a Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of
a supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto or such other form as shall be approved
by the Applicable Authorized Representative acting reasonably, such Subsidiary shall become a
Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The
execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor
hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 5.16. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,
each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent
prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all
39
Collateral (including any deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final))
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the
credit or the account of any Grantor against any and all of the obligations of such Grantor now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party,
irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement
or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each
Secured Party under this Section 5.16 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.
ARTICLE VI
Collateral Agent
SECTION 6.01. Exculpatory Provisions. The Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein, in the other Security Documents and in Article
VIII of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral
Agent:
(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated
hereby or by the other Security Documents that the Collateral Agent is required to
exercise as directed in writing by the Applicable Authorized Representative;
provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that,
in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to
liability or that is contrary to any Security Document or applicable law;
(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, in the other Security
Documents and in Article VIII of the Credit Agreement, have any duty to disclose,
and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
any Grantor or its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person
serving as the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;
(iv) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the
consent or at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or (y) in the
absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment (or
settlement tantamount thereto). The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have
knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Event of
Default is given to the Collateral Agent by the Applicable Authorized
Representative;
40
(v) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into
(u) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Security Document, (v) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (w) the performance or observance of any of the covenants,
agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any default, (x) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other agreement,
instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien
purported to be created by the Security Documents, (y) the value or the sufficiency
of any Collateral, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any
Security Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be
delivered to the Collateral Agent; and
(vi) may conclusively rely on any certificate of Holdings or any other Grantor
provided pursuant to this Agreement.
SECTION 6.02. Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Collateral Agent also
may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made
by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Collateral Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Holdings, the Applicable Authorized
Representative or counsel of their choice), independent accountants and other experts selected by
it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice
of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 6.03. Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its
duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Security Document by or
through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent and any
such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any
such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of the Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent.
SECTION 6.04. Resignation of Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, and upon written
instructions from the Applicable Authorized Representative shall, at any time give notice of its
resignation as Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Security Documents to the
Applicable Authorized Representative and Holdings. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Applicable Authorized Representative shall have the right, with the prior consent of Holdings
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default that is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an
office in
41
the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If
no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Applicable Authorized Representative (and, if
required, approved by Holdings) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the
retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may,
on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent meeting the qualifications
set forth above, or, if none is appointed within 30 days, may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided that if the Collateral Agent shall
notify Holdings and the Applicable Authorized Representative that no qualifying Person has accepted
such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such
notice and (a) the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations
hereunder and under the other Security Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Security
Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security solely for
purposes of maintaining the perfection of the security interests of the Secured Parties therein
until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed but with no obligation to take any
further action at the request of the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured
Parties) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or
through the Collateral Agent shall instead be made by or to the Applicable Authorized
Representative directly, until such time as the Applicable Authorized Representative appoints a
successor Collateral Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Security Documents, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Collateral Agent shall
be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Security
Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). After the
retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Section 6.07 of this Agreement
and Article VIII of the Credit Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring
Collateral Agent and its Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
any of them while the retiring Collateral Agent was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any notice of
resignation of the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Security Documents, Holdings and
the Closing Date Borrower agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer (and maintain
the validity and priority of) the Liens in favor of the retiring Collateral Agent under the
Security Documents to the successor Collateral Agent. In addition, the retiring (or retired)
Collateral Agent agrees to execute any documents required by applicable law to give effect to the
transfer of its duties and obligations at the sole expense of Holdings and the Grantors.
SECTION 6.05. Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Secured Parties. Each Secured Party
(other than the Collateral Agent) acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party or any of
their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each
Secured Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
42
Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party or any
of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon
this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 6.06. Collateral Matters. Each of the Secured Parties irrevocably authorizes and
instructs the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement and to release any Grantor from its obligations under this
Agreement, in each case in accordance with Section 5.14 of this Agreement.
SECTION 6.07. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Grantors
agree, jointly and severally, to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the
provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall
be consummated). The Grantors also agree to pay all documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred
by the Collateral Agent in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including in connection with any
restructuring or “work-out”, whether or not consummated).
(b) No provision of this Agreement, any other Security Document or any other Loan Document
shall require the Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, any other Security Document
or any other Loan Document or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder or thereunder,
if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability (including an advance of moneys necessary to perform work
or to take the action requested) is not reasonably assured to it and the Collateral Agent may
decline to act unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it in its sole discretion (including an
advance of moneys necessary to take the action requested). The Collateral Agent shall be under no
obligation or duty to take any action under this Agreement, any other Security Document or any
other Loan Document or otherwise if taking such action (i) could reasonably be expected to subject
the Collateral Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (ii)
could reasonably be expected to require the Collateral Agent to qualify to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified.
(c) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each
Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent (which, for the purposes of
this Section, the Security Documents and any Intercreditor Arrangements, shall include its
officers, directors, employees, agents, delegates and counsel) against, and to hold the Collateral
Agent harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses,
including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against the
Collateral Agent arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the execution,
delivery or
43
performance of this Agreement, the other Security Documents, any Intercreditor Arrangement or
any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or any claim, litigation, investigation
or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing or to the Collateral, whether or not the Collateral
Agent is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by
the Loan Parties or other Subsidiaries); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to the
Collateral Agent, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment (or settlement tantamount thereto) to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence
or wilful misconduct of the Collateral Agent. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no
Grantor shall assert, and each Grantor hereby waives, any claim against the Collateral Agent, on
any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
the other Security Documents, the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby or thereby.
(d) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured
hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section shall remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Security
Document or the resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent.
SECTION 6.08. No Obligation With Respect to Perfection. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein or in any other Security Document or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Collateral
Agent shall be authorized to (but shall not be responsible for) filing any financing or
continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time
or times or otherwise perfecting or monitoring or maintaining the perfection of any security
interest in the Collateral. Holdings and the applicable Grantor shall take all action as may be
necessary or required in order to perfect the Liens created by this Agreement and the other
Security Documents and to maintain perfected security interests. When required by law to ensure
their continued effectiveness, Holdings and the applicable Grantor shall continue all financing
statements, charges or other registrations which have been filed or registered to perfect the Liens
created by this Agreement and the other Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no
liability to the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party in the event that
Holdings or the applicable Grantor fails to take the actions required to perfect and maintain
perfection of the Liens granted or to be granted under this Agreement or any other Security
Document.
SECTION 6.09. Rights of Collateral Agent; Care of Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein:
(a) The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to act, consent or request any action of the
Grantors or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (including all schedules and
exhibits attached hereto) unless the Collateral Agent shall have received written direction from
the Applicable Authorized Representative.
44
(b) The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical
preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar
property for its own account. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any
carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Collateral Agent in good faith,
except to the extent of the Collateral Agent’s bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment (or settlement
tantamount thereto). Neither any Secured Party nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for
failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of
any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the
Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely
to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not otherwise impose any duty
upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral
Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise
of such powers, and none of the Collateral Agent, any Secured Party or any of their Related Parties
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent
of their bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment (or settlement tantamount thereto).
SECTION 6.10. Effect of First Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that the First Lien
Intercreditor Agreement is executed and delivered in accordance with Section 6.01(n) of the Credit
Agreement, upon the effectiveness of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, this Article VI shall
be superseded by the provisions of Sections 4.03 to 4.11 of the First Lien Intercreditor Agreement
and shall cease to have effect.

a successor by merger to UNCLE ACQUISITION 2010 CORP, the “Closing
Date Borrower”), UCI HOLDINGS LIMITED, a New Zealand limited
liability company (“Holdings”), each Subsidiary of Holdings from
time to time party thereto (the Closing Date Borrower, each such
Subsidiary and Holdings are referred to collectively herein as the
“Grantors”) and WILMINGTON TRUST FSB, as collateral agent (in such
capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as
defined therein).
A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of January 26, 2011 (as amended,

modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Closing Date Borrower, Uncle

(No. 2) Corp, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Credit Suisse AG, as

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.
C. The Grantors have entered into the Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Secured
Parties to extend credit to the Grantors pursuant to the Loan Documents. Section 5.16 of the
Collateral Agreement provides that additional [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiaries of Holdings may
become Grantors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the
form of this Supplement. The undersigned [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary (the “New [Domestic]
[Foreign] Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the
Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents to become a Grantor under the Collateral
Agreement in order to induce the Secured Parties to extend additional credit and as consideration
for credit previously extended, in each case, under the Loan Documents.
Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary agree as
follows:
SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 5.16 of the Collateral Agreement, the New [Domestic]
[Foreign] Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a [Non-] U.S. Grantor under the Collateral
Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a [Non-] U.S. Grantor
and the New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of
the Collateral Agreement
applicable to it as a [Non-] U.S. Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the
representations and warranties made by it as a [Non-] U.S. Grantor thereunder are true and correct
on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New [Domestic] [Foreign]
Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, does hereby
create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of
the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the
New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral of the
New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary to the extent provided in the Collateral Agreement. Each
reference to a “Grantor” and “[Non-] U.S. Grantor” in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to
include the New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary. The Collateral Agreement is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.
SECTION 2. The New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral
Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in
accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto
on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken
together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together,
bear the signatures of the New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent. Delivery
of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission or other customary means
of electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Supplement.
SECTION 4. The New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a)
set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the information, with
respect to such New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary, required by the Perfection Certificate
attached as Exhibit B to the Collateral Agreement and (b) set forth under its signature hereto, is
the true and correct legal name of the New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary and its jurisdiction of
organization.
SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in
full force and effect.
SECTION 6. THIS SUPPLEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS AND CONTROVERSIES IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 7. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being
A-2
understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall
not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). 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 provisions.
SECTION 8. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise permitted by
the Collateral Agreement) be in writing and given as provided pursuant to Section 5.01 of the
Collateral Agreement.
SECTION 9. The New [Domestic] [Foreign] Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent
for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the fees, other
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent as provided in Section 5.06 of the
Collateral Agreement, mutatis mutandis.
SECTION 10. [The New Foreign Subsidiary is a [company] duly [incorporated] under the law of
[name of relevant jurisdiction]. [The grant of security by the New Foreign Subsidiary in respect of
obligations of any Person other than its subsidiary is subject to the following limitations: [if
limitations are agreed in respect of the New Foreign Subsidiary by the Applicable Authorized
Representative, insert limitation wording for relevant jurisdiction that is reasonably satisfactory
to the Applicable Authorized Representative.]]
