Pledge of Securities

SECTION 2.01. Pledge. As security for the payment or performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under (whether now owned or hereafter acquired):

(a) all Capital Stock directly owned by it (including those listed on Schedule II) and any other Capital Stock obtained in the future by such Pledgor and any certificates representing all such Capital Stock (all such Capital Stock, the “Pledged Stock”); provided that the Pledged Stock shall not include any Excluded Assets or any Capital Stock directly owned by Holdings other than the Capital Stock of the Lead Borrower;

(b) (i) the debt obligations owed to such Pledgor listed opposite the name of such Pledgor on Schedule II, (ii) any debt obligations in the future issued to such

Pledgor having, in the case of each instance of debt obligations, an aggregate principal amount in excess of $15,000,000, and (iii) the certificates, promissory notes and any other instruments, if any, evidencing such debt obligations (the property described in clauses (b)(i), (ii) and (iii) above, the “Pledged Debt”); provided that the Pledged Debt shall not include any Excluded Assets;

(c) subject to Section 2.06, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of the Pledged Stock and the Pledged Debt;

(d) subject to Section 2.06, all rights and privileges of such Pledgor with respect to the Pledged Stock, Pledged Debt and other property referred to in clause (c) above; and

(e) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the Pledged Stock, Pledged Debt and other property referred to in this clause (e) and in clauses (c) through (d) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”); provided that the Pledged Collateral shall not include any Excluded Assets or any assets directly owned by Holdings other than the Capital Stock of the Lead Borrower and any Proceeds thereof.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Pledged Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, to the extent this paragraph is expressly made applicable with respect to any Other First Lien Obligations pursuant to the terms of any Other First Lien Agreement, with respect to such Other First Lien Obligations, in the event that Rule 3-10 (“Rule 3-10”) or Rule 3-16 (“Rule 3-16”) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as amended, modified or interpreted by the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”), would require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of the Lead Borrower or any subsidiary of the Lead Borrower due to the fact that such Person’s Capital Stock or other securities secure such Other First Lien Obligations, then the Capital Stock or other securities of such Person (the “Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral”) will automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral securing such Other First Lien Obligations, as applicable, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement. In such event, this Agreement may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Secured Party, to the extent necessary to release the Lien on the Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent with respect only to the relevant Other First Lien Obligations. In the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted

by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) any Regulation S-X Excluded Collateral to secure the Other First Lien Obligations in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of such Person, then the Capital Stock of such Person will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral for the relevant Other First Lien Obligations, but only to the extent permitted without the financial statement requirement described in the first sentence of this paragraph becoming applicable. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this paragraph shall limit the pledge of such Capital Stock and other securities from securing the applicable Pledgor’s Secured Obligations (other than the Other First Lien Obligations) at all relevant times or from securing any Other First Lien Obligations that are not in respect of securities subject to regulation by the SEC. To the extent any Proceeds of any collection or sale of Capital Stock deemed by this paragraph to no longer constitute part of the Collateral for the relevant Other First Lien Obligations are to be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, such Proceeds shall, notwithstanding the terms of Section 4.02 and the Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (upon and during the effectiveness thereof), not be applied to the payment of such Other First Lien Obligations (and shall be applied as otherwise provided in Section 4.02, as if the respective Other First Lien Obligations had previously been paid in full in cash).

SECTION 2.02. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral. (a) Each Pledgor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all certificates or other instruments (if any) representing such Pledged Securities, to the extent such Pledged Securities are either (i) Pledged Stock or (ii) in the case of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Pledged Debt, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02.

(b) To the extent any Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting Pledged Collateral (other than (i) intercompany current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with the cash management operations of Holdings, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent that a pledge of such promissory note or instrument would violate applicable law) owed to any Pledgor is evidenced by a duly executed promissory note in an amount in excess of $15,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly cause such promissory note to be pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent any such promissory note is a demand note, each Pledgor party thereto agrees, if requested by the Collateral Agent, to immediately demand payment thereunder (and agrees (to the extent it has the power to do so) that the Collateral Agent may in its place demand such repayment) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified under Section 7.01(a), (f), or (g) of the Credit Agreement or any equivalent provision under any Other First Lien Agreement, unless such demand would not be commercially reasonable or would otherwise expose such Pledgor to liability to the maker of such promissory note.

(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (i) any Pledged Securities required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.02 shall be accompanied by stock powers or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be accompanied to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest in or allow realization on the Pledged Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents (including issuer acknowledgments in respect of uncertificated securities that are delivered pursuant to Section 2.04(b)) as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be deemed to be attached hereto as Schedule II (or a supplement to Schedule II, as applicable) and made a part hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

SECTION 2.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Pledgors, jointly and severally, represent, warrant and covenant to and with the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

(a) Schedule II correctly sets forth (and, with respect to any Pledged Stock issued by an issuer that is not a subsidiary of the Lead Borrower, correctly sets forth, to the knowledge of the relevant Pledgor), as of the Closing Date, the percentage of the issued and outstanding units of each class of the Capital Stock of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Stock and includes (i) all Capital Stock pledged hereunder and (ii) all Pledged Debt pledged hereunder and in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5,000,000;

(c) except for the security interests granted hereunder (or otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement), each Pledgor (i) is and, subject to any transfers not in violation of the

Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, will continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II (as may be supplemented from time to time pursuant to Section 2.02(c)) as owned by such Pledgor, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens, other than Permitted Liens, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, other than pursuant to a transaction not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement and other than Permitted Liens and (iv) subject to the rights of such Pledgor under the Credit Agreement Documents and any Other First Lien Agreement to Dispose of Pledged Collateral, will use commercially reasonable efforts to defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), however arising, of all Persons;

(d) other than as set forth in the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, and except for restrictions and limitations imposed by the Credit Agreement Documents, any Other First Lien Agreements or securities laws generally or otherwise not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement (or, in the case of shares of a ULC, any requirement that transfers of such shares be approved by the directors of the ULC), the Pledged Stock (other than partnership interests) is and will continue to be freely transferable and assignable, and none of the Pledged Stock is or will be subject to any option, right of first refusal, shareholders agreement, charter, by-law, memorandum of association or articles of association provisions or contractual restriction of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect the pledge of such Pledged Stock hereunder, the Disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of rights and remedies hereunder other than under applicable Requirements of Law;

(e) each Pledgor has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;

(f) other than as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as of the Closing Date, no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby or the transfer of the Pledged Securities upon a foreclosure thereof (other than compliance with any securities law applicable to the transfer of securities), in each case other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and effect;

(h) each Pledgor that is an issuer of the Pledged Collateral confirms that it has received notice of the security interest granted hereunder and consents to such security interest and, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, agrees to transfer record ownership of the securities issued by it in connection with any request by the Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Following any continuing Event of Default, each Pledgor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Pledgor. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities (other than Pledged Securities that are ULC Interests) held by it for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to Pledged Securities that

(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement; provided that, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, any Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

(iii) Each Pledgor 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 Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not prohibited by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement Documents, any Other First Lien Agreement and applicable laws; provided that (A) any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions, payments or other consideration in respect thereof, including any rights to receive the same to the extent not so distributed or paid, that would constitute Pledged Securities, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Capital Stock of the issuer of any

Pledged Securities, received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise or (B) any non-cash dividends and other distributions paid or payable in respect of any Pledged Securities that would constitute Pledged Securities, in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid in surplus, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent to the relevant Pledgors of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Pledgor to receive dividends, interest, principal or other distributions with respect to Pledged Securities that are not ULC Interests that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, 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; provided that the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to receive and retain such amounts. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the same form as so received (endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). 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.

With respect to

Pledged Securities that are ULC Interests, all rights of any Pledgor to receive dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall continue and not become vested or held in trust for or on behalf of the Collateral Agent.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after written notice by the Collateral Agent to the Lead Borrower of the Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise its rights hereunder, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06 with respect to Pledged Securities that are not ULC Interests, 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, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, 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 have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived and the Lead Borrower has delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer to that effect, each Pledgor shall have the right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) shall be in effect.

SECTION 2.07. Unlimited Liability Corporations. Notwithstanding the grant of security interest made by a Pledgor in favor of the Collateral Agent, its successor and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, of all of its Pledged Securities, any Pledgor that controls any interest (for the purposes of this Article II, “ULC Interests”) in any unlimited liability corporation (for the purposes of this Article II, a “ULC”) pledged hereunder shall remain registered as the sole registered and beneficial owner of such ULC Interests and will remain as registered and beneficial owner until such time as such ULC Interests are effectively transferred into the name of the Collateral Agent or any other Person on the books and records of such ULC. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall constitute the Collateral Agent or any Person as a shareholder of any ULC until such time as notice is given to such ULC and further steps are taken thereunder so as to register the Collateral Agent or any other Person as the holder of the ULC Interests of such ULC. To the extent any provision hereof would have the effect of constituting the Collateral Agent or any other Person as a shareholder of a ULC prior to such time, such provision shall be severed therefrom and ineffective with respect to the ULC Interests of such ULC without otherwise invalidating or rendering unenforceable

this Agreement or invalidating or rendering unenforceable such provision insofar as it relates to Pledged Stock which are not ULC Interests. Except upon the exercise of rights to sell or otherwise dispose of ULC Interests following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, no Pledgor shall cause or permit, or enable any ULC in which it holds ULC Interests to cause or permit, the Collateral Agent to: (a) be registered as shareholders of such ULC; (b) have any notation entered in its favor in the share register of such ULC; (c) be held out as a shareholder of such ULC; (d) receive, directly or indirectly, any dividends, property or other distributions from such ULC by reason of the Collateral Agent holding a security interest in such ULC; or (e) act as a shareholder of such ULC, or exercise any rights of a shareholder of such ULC including the right to attend a meeting of, or to vote the shares of, such ULC.

(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 Pledgor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Pledgors shall be required to (i) enter into any control agreements or control, lockbox or similar arrangements with respect to any Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or any other assets (other than the delivery of Pledged Securities to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by Article II), (ii) enter into any landlord, mortgage and bailee waivers, (iii) send notices to account debtors or other contractual third parties, except in connection with a permitted exercise of remedies under this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement or (iv) enter into any security documents under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions or to take any actions in such jurisdictions for the purpose of perfection the Security Interest in any Collateral.

(a) Each Pledgor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant the Security Interest hereunder, except where the failure to have such rights and title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (or any supplement hereto, as applicable), without the consent or approval of any other Person as of the Closing Date other than any consent or approval that has been obtained and is in full force and effect or has otherwise been disclosed herein or in the Credit Agreement, any Other First Lien Agreement or any offering circular related thereto.

(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Pledgor, is correct and complete, in all material respects, as of the Closing Date. Except as provided in Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, the UCC financing statements or other appropriate filings containing a description of the Article 9 Collateral that have been prepared for filing in the filing offices in the jurisdictions specified in the Perfection Certificate constitute all the filings (other than filings required to be made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office in order to perfect the Security Interest in Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States Patents, United States registered Trademarks and United States registered Copyrights) that are necessary as of the Closing Date 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 benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof), and no further or subsequent filing or refiling is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements or amendments. Except as provided in Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor represents and warrants that the Notices of Grant of Security Interest in Intellectual Property executed by the applicable Pledgors containing descriptions of all Article 9 Collateral that consists of material United States federally issued Patents (and Patents for which United States federal registration applications are pending), material United States federally registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States federal registration applications are pending) and material United States federally registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which United States federal registration applications are pending) have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, to establish notice of a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of such Intellectual Property as of the Closing Date in which a security interest may be perfected by recording with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, 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 with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of material United States federally issued, registered or pending Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed after the Closing Date).

(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, as applicable, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), as of the Closing Date 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) pursuant to the UCC 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 the Notices of Grant of Security Interest in Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office 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 Permitted Liens.

(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Pledgors free and clear of any Lien, other than Permitted Liens. None of the Pledgors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the UCC or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Pledgor assigns any Article 9 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 for the benefit of a third party, in each case, which are still in effect or (iii) any assignment in which any Pledgor 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 Permitted Liens.

(e) None of the Pledgors holds any Commercial Tort Claim individually reasonably estimated to exceed $15,000,000 as of the Closing Date except as indicated on Schedule IV.

(f) As to itself and its Article 9 Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by any Pledgor (the “Intellectual Property Collateral”), to each Pledgor’s knowledge:

(i) The Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule III includes a true and complete list of all of the material issued and applied for United States federal Patents, material registered and applied for United States federal Trademarks and material United States federal registered and applied for Copyrights owned by such Pledgor as of the date hereof.

(ii) The Intellectual Property Collateral set forth on Schedule III is subsisting and, to the best of such Pledgor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable in all material respects.

(iii) Such Pledgor has taken commercially reasonable steps to protect its rights in the Intellectual Property Collateral in all material respects.

SECTION 3.03. Covenants. (a) Each Pledgor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change in (i) its corporate or organization name, (ii) its identity or type of organization, (iii) its organizational identification number or (iv) its jurisdiction of organization. Each Pledgor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (a) unless all filings have been made, or will have been made within the time period required by the Credit Agreement, under the UCC that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Subject to any rights of such Pledgor to Dispose of Collateral provided for in the Credit Agreement Documents and each Other First Lien Agreement, each Pledgor shall, at its own expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien that is not a Permitted Lien.

(c) Each Pledgor agrees, at its own expense, 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 may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect, defend and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes, together with any interest and penalties, if any, required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith, all in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Pledgors, to supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule III or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any asset or item that may constitute an issued or applied for United States federal Patent, registered or applied for United States Trademark or registered United States federal Copyright; provided that any Pledgor shall have the right, exercisable within 90 days after the Lead Borrower has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by such Pledgor hereunder with respect to such Article 9 Collateral. Each Pledgor 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 Article 9 Collateral within 90 days after the date it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific identification of such Article 9 Collateral (or such later date as the Collateral Agent may agree).

(d) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, (i) to inspect the Article 9 Collateral (including to verify under reasonable procedures the validity, amount, quality, quantity, value, condition and status of, or any other matter relating to, the Article 9 Collateral), and including, in the case of Accounts or Article 9 Collateral in the possession of any third person, by contacting Account Debtors or the third person possessing such Article 9 Collateral for the purpose of making such a verification, (ii) to examine and make copies of the records of such Pledgor relating to the Article 9 Collateral and (iii) to discuss the Article 9 Collateral and related records of such Pledgor with, and to be advised as to the same by, such Pledgor’s officers and employees. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to share any information it gains from such inspection or verification with any Secured Party, subject to Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement and any equivalent provision of any Other First Lien Agreement.

(e) The Collateral Agent may 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 a Permitted Lien, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Pledgor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, and each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any reasonable and documented payment made or any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.03(e) shall be interpreted as excusing any Pledgor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Pledgor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein, in the other Credit Agreement Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement.

(f) Each Pledgor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable for the observance and performance of all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral and each Pledgor 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.

(g) None of the Pledgors 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, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement. None of the Pledgors shall make or permit to be made any transfer of the Article 9 Collateral, except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement, any Other First Lien Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement.

(h) Each Pledgor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Pledgor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, 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 Pledgor 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 Pledgor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required by the Credit Agreement Documents or any Other First Lien 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 the Pledgors hereunder or any 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 reasonably deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 3.03(h), including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Pledgors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

SECTION 3.04. Other Actions. In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in the Article 9 Collateral, each Pledgor agrees, in each case at such Pledgor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper. If any Pledgor shall at any time own or acquire any Instruments (other than debt obligations which constitute Pledged Debt and checks received and processed in the ordinary course of business) or Tangible Chattel Paper evidencing an amount in excess of $15,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly (and in any event within 45 days of its acquisition or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion) notify the Collateral Agent and promptly (and in any event within 5 days following such notice or such longer period as the Collateral Agent may permit in its reasonable discretion) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) Commercial Tort Claims. If any Pledgor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount reasonably estimated to exceed $15,000,000, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Pledgor, including a summary description of such claim, and deliver to the Collateral Agent in writing a supplement to Schedule IV including such description.

SECTION 3.05. Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. Except as not prohibited by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement:

(a) Each Pledgor agrees that it will not knowingly do any act or omit to do any act (and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to prevent its licensees from doing any act or omitting to do any act) whereby any Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may become prematurely invalidated, abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public.

(b) Each Pledgor will, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees or its sublicensees to, for each material Trademark necessary to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business, (i) subject to its reasonable business judgment, maintain such Trademark in full force free from any adjudication of abandonment or invalidity for non-use and (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark in a manner consistent with the operation of such Pledgor’s business.

(c) Each Pledgor shall notify the Collateral Agent promptly if it knows that any United States federally issued or applied for Patent, United States federally registered or applied for Trademark or United States federally registered or applied for Copyright material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business may imminently become abandoned, lapsed or dedicated to the public, or of any materially adverse determination or development, excluding non-final office actions in the ordinary course of such Pledgor’s business and similar determinations or developments in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office, any court or any similar office of any country, regarding such Pledgor’s ownership of any such material Patent, Trademark or Copyright or its right to register or to maintain the same.

(d) Each Pledgor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall (i) inform the Collateral Agent on an annual basis of each application for, or registration or issuance of, any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and each registration of any Copyright with the United States Copyright Office filed by or on behalf of, or issued to, or acquired by, any Pledgor during the preceding twelve-month period; provided that delivery of a Perfection Certificate Supplement containing such information in accordance with Section 5.01(j) of the Credit Agreement satisfies this requirement, and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers necessary or as the Collateral Agent may otherwise reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and the perfection thereof, provided that the provisions hereof shall automatically apply to any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and any such Patent, Trademark or Copyright shall automatically constitute Collateral as if such would have constituted Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Lien and Security Interest created by this Agreement without further action by any party.

(e) Each Pledgor shall exercise its reasonable business judgment consistent with its past practice in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office with respect to maintaining and pursuing each application relating to any Patent, Trademark and/or Copyright (and obtaining the relevant grant or registration) material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and to maintain (i) each United States federally issued Patent that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business and (ii) the registrations of each United States federally registered Trademark and each United States federally registered Copyright that is material to the normal conduct of such Pledgor’s business including, when applicable and necessary in such Pledgor’s reasonable business judgment, timely filings of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and payment of maintenance fees, and, if any Pledgor believes necessary in its reasonable business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(f) In the event that any Pledgor knows or has reason to know that any Article 9 Collateral consisting of a Patent, Trademark or Copyright material to the normal

conduct of its business has been infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, and such infringement misappropriation or dilution could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on such Pledgor’s business, such Pledgor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall, if such Pledgor deems it necessary in its reasonable business judgment, promptly xxx and recover any and all damages, and take such other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances.

(g) Upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Collateral Agent, each Pledgor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all requisite consents or approvals from each licensor under each material written agreement granting such Pledgor any rights in Intellectual Property to effect the assignment of all such Pledgor’s right, title and interest thereunder to (in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion) the designee of the Collateral Agent or the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 3.05(g) should be construed as an obligation of any Pledgor to incur any costs or expenses in connection with obtaining such approval.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

SECTION 4.01. Remedies Upon Default. In accordance with, and to the extent consistent with, the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent may take any action specified in this Section 4.01. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand. It is agreed that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Agreement Document or Other First Lien Agreement (as applicable); provided that this clause (a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties prior to or after an Event of Default, (b) 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 Pledgors to the Collateral Agent or to license or sublicense (subject to any such licensee’s obligation to maintain the quality of the goods and/or services provided under any Trademark consistent with the quality of such goods and/or services provided by the Pledgors immediately prior to the Event of Default and subject to the Pledgors’ existing licensing and trademark co-existence arrangements), whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a nonexclusive basis, any such Article 9 Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use) and (c) with or without legal

process and with or without prior notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Article 9 Collateral and without liability for trespass to the applicable Pledgor to enter any premises where the Article 9 Collateral or any records relating to the Article 9 Collateral may be located for the purpose of taking possession of or removing the Article 9 Collateral and, generally, to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under the UCC or other applicable law. The Collateral Agent agrees and covenants not to exercise any of the rights or remedies set forth in the preceding sentence unless and until the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Pledgor 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 in connection with any sale of a security (if it deems it advisable to do so) pursuant to the foregoing to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who represent and agree that they are purchasing such security for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof. Upon consummation of any such Disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.01 the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold (other than in violation of any then existing licensing or trademark co-existence arrangements to the extent that waivers thereunder cannot be obtained with the use of commercially reasonable efforts, which each Pledgor hereby agrees to use). Each such purchaser at any such Disposition shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

To the extent any notice is required by applicable law, the Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Pledgors 10 Business Days’ written notice (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC) 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, and each Pledgor agrees that the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the 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 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 the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral 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 shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 4.01, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and Dispose of such property in accordance with Section 4.02 without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. 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 Pledgor 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 Secured 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 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 UCC.

SECTION 4.02. Application of Proceeds. The Collateral Agent shall, subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, promptly apply the proceeds, moneys or balances of any collection or sale of Collateral realized through the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash at any time when remedies are being exercised hereunder, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with any Credit Agreement Document, any Other First Lien Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations secured by such Collateral, including without limitation all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent under any Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement on behalf of any Pledgor, any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement, and all other fees, indemnities and other amounts owing or reimbursable to the Collateral Agent under any Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement in its capacity as such;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations secured by such Collateral (the amounts so applied to be distributed between the Credit Agreement Secured Parties and any Other First Lien Secured Parties pro rata based on the respective amounts of such Secured Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution (or in accordance with such other method of distribution as may be set forth in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement), with (x) the portion thereof distributed to the Credit Agreement Secured Parties to be further distributed in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.18(b) of the Credit Agreement and (y) the portion thereof distributed to the Secured Parties of any other Series to be further distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Other First Lien Agreements governing such Series;

THIRD, to the payment in full of any Obligations under (and as defined in) a Second Lien Credit Agreement (if any) and any Other Second Lien Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement (as defined in such Second Lien Credit Agreement)), in each case, in accordance with the terms thereof and the terms of a Permitted Junior Intercreditor Agreement; and

FOURTH, to the Pledgors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct;

provided that in no event shall the proceeds of any collection or sale of any Specified Excluded Collateral be applied to the relevant Series of Secured Obligations.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent prior to any distribution under this Section 4.02, each Authorized Representative shall provide to the Collateral Agent certificates, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, setting forth the respective amounts referred to in this Section 4.02 that each applicable Secured Party or its Authorized Representative believes it is entitled to receive, and the Collateral Agent shall be fully entitled to rely on such certificates. 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 purchase money 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. Securities Act, Etc. In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any similar federal 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 permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor 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 Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, 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 part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws or, to the extent applicable, Blue Sky or other state securities laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor 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 shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, 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 single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 4.03 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.

SECTION 5.03. Limitation By Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

This Agreement shall become effective as to any party to this Agreement when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such 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 party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, except that no 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 permitted under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement.

(c) The agreements in this Section 5.06 shall survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent and the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.07. Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to applicable Requirements of Law and any Intercreditor Agreement, 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 Pledgor, (a) to receive, endorse, assign 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 ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral; (d) to sign the name of any Pledgor on any invoice or xxxx of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (e) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (f) to commence and 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; (g) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits

or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (h) to notify, or to require any Pledgor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent as contemplated by Section 4.04; and (i) 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, as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided 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 Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own or their Related Parties’ gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. For the avoidance of doubt, Section 4.03 of any Pari First Lien Intercreditor Agreement entered into after the Closing Date in the form exhibited to the Credit Agreement (or the equivalent provision of any other Permitted Pari Passu First Lien Intercreditor Agreement) shall apply to the Collateral Agent as agent for the Secured Parties hereunder.

SECTION 5.08. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT (AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 5.09. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Agreement Documents and any Other First Lien Agreements are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 5.09, 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 the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the incurrence of any Other First Lien Obligation shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or

Event of Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(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 Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to (i) any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the consent of each other Authorized Representative if and to the extent required by (and in accordance with) the applicable Other First Lien Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. The Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Lead Borrower as to whether any amendment contemplated by this Section 5.09(b)(ii) is permitted.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent may (in its reasonable discretion) grant extensions of time or waivers of the requirement for the creation or perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of insurance (including title insurance) or surveys with respect to particular assets (including extensions beyond the Closing Date for the perfection of security interests in the assets of the Pledgors on such date) where it reasonably determines, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, that perfection or obtaining of such items cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required by this Agreement, the other Credit Agreement Documents or any Other First Lien Agreement.

SECTION 5.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT AGREEMENT DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER FIRST LIEN AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. 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 BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.10.

SECTION 5.11. Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any

Other First Lien Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby as to such jurisdiction, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate 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 5.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 5.04. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

SECTION 5.13. 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 5.14. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York (or any appellate court therefrom) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall (except as permitted below) be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, federal court. Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to such person shall be effective service of process against such Person for any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto agrees that the Collateral Agent retains the right to bring proceedings against any Pledgor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction solely in connection with the exercise of any rights under this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement.

(b) Each party to this Agreement 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, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement in any court referred to in clause (a) of this Section 5.14. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim or defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action, suit or proceeding in any such court.

(c) To the extent permitted by law, each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all process upon it and agrees that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (or any substantially similar form of mail) directed to it at its address for notices as provided for in Section 5.01. Each party hereto hereby waives any objection to such service of process and further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any action or proceeding commenced hereunder or under any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement that service of process was invalid and ineffective. Nothing in this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 5.15. Termination or Release. In each case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements:

(a) This Agreement and the pledges made by the Pledgors herein and all other security interests granted by the Pledgors hereby shall automatically terminate and be released upon the occurrence of the Termination Date and, if any Other First Lien Obligations are outstanding on the Termination Date, the date when any Other First Lien Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities not then due and any other obligations that, by the terms of any applicable Other First Lien Agreements, are not required to be paid in full in cash prior to termination and release of the Collateral) have been paid in full in cash and the Secured Parties have no further commitment to extend credit under any Other First Lien Agreement.

(b) Solely with respect to the Credit Agreement Secured Obligations, (i) a Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder if such Pledgor is released from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with Section 9.22 of the Credit Agreement and/or (ii) the Security Interests in any portion of the Collateral shall in each case be automatically released upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances with respect to release of Liens set forth in the last paragraph of Section 6.07, in Article 8 or in Section 9.22 of the Credit Agreement with respect to such portion of the Collateral, in each case of the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), in accordance with the requirements of such provisions, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party unless otherwise expressly required by such provisions, and all rights (but only to the extent granted to holders of Credit Agreement Secured Obligations) to the applicable Collateral shall revert to any applicable Pledgor.

(c) Solely with respect to any Other First Lien Obligations, a Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and/or the Security Interests in any Collateral shall in each case be automatically released upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances set forth in any section governing release of

collateral in the applicable Other First Lien Agreement in accordance with the requirements of any such section, without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party unless otherwise expressly required by any such section, and all rights (but only to the extent granted to holders of Other First Lien Obligations) to the Collateral shall revert to any applicable Pledgor.

(d) The Security Interests in any Collateral shall automatically be released, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, except to the extent otherwise expressly required by the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement (i) upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the Security Interest granted hereby in such Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement and any equivalent provision of any Other First Lien Agreement (in each case, to the extent required) or (ii) as otherwise may be provided in any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 5.15, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release (including UCC termination statements), and will duly assign and transfer to such Pledgor, any of such Pledged Collateral that is in the possession of the Collateral Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such termination or release without representation or warranty. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent. In connection with any release pursuant to this Section 5.15, the applicable Pledgor shall be permitted to take any action in connection therewith consistent with such release including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to the released portion of the Collateral. Upon the receipt of any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Lead Borrower, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute, deliver or acknowledge any such document on terms which, in the Collateral Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such termination or release without representation or warranty. The Pledgors agree to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (and its representatives and counsel) in connection with the execution and delivery of such release documents or instruments.

SECTION 5.16. Additional Subsidiaries. Upon execution and delivery by any subsidiary that is required or permitted to become a party hereto by Section 5.12 or the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement of the Credit Agreement or by any

corresponding provision of any Other First Lien Agreement, of an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (or another instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Lead Borrower), such subsidiary shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other party to this Agreement. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new party to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.17. General Authority of the Collateral Agent.

(a) By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Security Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (i) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Security Documents, (ii) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement and such other Security Documents against any Pledgor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder thereunder relating to any Collateral or any Pledgor’s obligations with respect thereto, (iii) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Security Document against any Pledgor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Security Document and (iv) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Security Documents and any applicable Intercreditor Agreement then in effect.

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

(c) It is expressly understood and agreed that the obligations of the Collateral Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this Agreement and Article 8 of the Credit Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall act hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article 8 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 5.18. Subject to Intercreditor Agreements; Conflicts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder or the application of proceeds (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) of any Collateral, in each case, are subject to the limitations and provisions of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement to the extent provided therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of such applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

SECTION 5.19. Other First Lien Obligations. On or after the Closing Date and so long as permitted under the Credit Agreement and any Other First Lien Agreement then in effect, the Lead Borrower may from time to time designate obligations in respect of indebtedness permitted to be secured pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement and any corresponding provision of any Other First Lien Agreement to be secured (except with respect to any applicable Specified Excluded Collateral) on a pari passu basis with the then-outstanding Secured Obligations as Other First Lien Obligations hereunder by (a) delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative a certificate of the Lead Borrower (i) identifying the obligations so designated and the initial aggregate principal amount or face amount thereof, (ii) stating that such obligations are designated as Other First Lien Obligations for purposes hereof, (iii) representing that the Liens securing such obligations are permitted pursuant to (x) Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement and (y) the corresponding provision of any Other First Lien Agreement then in effect, and (iv) specifying the name and address of the Authorized Representative for such obligations, (b) delivering to the Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative an Other First Lien Secured Party Consent executed by the Authorized Representative for such obligations and the Lead Borrower and (c) if not already then in effect, executing and delivering a Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement (or, to the extent such Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect, a joinder thereto to the extent required thereby). Upon the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, (x) the Collateral Agent shall act as collateral agent (on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article 8 of the Credit Agreement) under and subject to the terms of the Security Documents for the benefit of all Secured Parties, including without limitation, any Secured Parties that hold any such Other First Lien Obligations (except with respect to any applicable Specified Excluded Collateral), and shall execute and deliver the acknowledgement at the end of the Other First Lien Secured Party Consent, (y) each Authorized Representative agrees to the appointment, and acceptance of the appointment, of the Collateral Agent as collateral agent (on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Article 8 of the Credit Agreement) for the holders of such Other First Lien Obligations as set forth in each Other First Lien Secured Party Consent and agrees, on behalf of itself and each Secured Party it represents, to be bound by this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreements and (z) such Other First Lien Obligations shall automatically be deemed to be first priority obligations, for purposes of each Intercreditor Agreement that exists prior to the effectiveness of the designation of such Other First Lien Obligations hereunder. The rights and obligations of each party to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Secured Obligations to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.20. Person Serving as Collateral Agent. On the Closing Date, the Collateral Agent hereunder is the Credit Agreement Agent. Written notice of resignation by the Credit Agreement Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Credit Agreement Agent by a successor, that successor shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent pursuant hereto. Immediately upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, if any other Series of Secured Obligations is then outstanding, the Authorized Representative of such Series (or, if more than one such Series is outstanding, the applicable Authorized Representative determined pursuant to the terms of (and as defined in) the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deemed the Collateral Agent for all purposes under this Agreement. The Collateral Agent immediately prior to any change in Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 5.20 (the “Prior Collateral Agent”) shall be deemed to have assigned all of its rights, powers and duties hereunder to the successor Collateral Agent determined in accordance with this Section 5.20 (the “Successor Collateral Agent”) and the Successor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have accepted, assumed and succeeded to such rights, powers and duties. The Prior Collateral Agent shall cooperate with the Pledgors and such Successor Collateral Agent to ensure that all actions are taken that are necessary or reasonably requested by the Successor Collateral Agent to vest in such Successor Collateral Agent the rights granted to the Prior Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to the Collateral, including (a) the filing of amended financing statements in the appropriate filing offices, (b) to the extent that the Prior Collateral Agent holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession of or “control” (as defined in the UCC) (or any similar concept under foreign law) over Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document, the delivery to the Successor Collateral Agent of the Collateral in its possession or control together with any necessary endorsements to the extent required by this Agreement, and (c) the execution and delivery of any further documents, financing statements or agreements and the taking of all such further action that may be required under any applicable law, or that the Successor Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Collateral Agent, and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. In addition, the Collateral Agent hereunder shall at all times be the same Person that is the “Collateral Agent” (or similar term or designation) under any Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement. Written notice of resignation by the “Collateral Agent” (or similar term or designation) pursuant to any Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement shall also constitute notice of resignation as the Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the “Collateral Agent” (or similar term or designation) under any Permitted Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement by a successor “Collateral Agent” (or similar term or designation), the successor “Collateral Agent” (or similar term or designation) shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 5.21. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Pledgors in the Credit Agreement Documents, any Other First Lien Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement, any other Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement Documents and any Other First Lien Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement Documents and any extensions of credit under any Other First Lien Agreement, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party or any other person and notwithstanding that any Secured Party or any other person may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Credit Agreement Document or any Other First Lien Agreement is executed and delivered or any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date and, if any Other First Lien Obligations are outstanding on the Termination Date, the date when any Other First Lien Obligations (other than contingent or unliquidated obligations or liabilities not then due and any other obligations that, by the terms of any applicable Other First Lien Agreements, are not required to be paid in full in cash prior to termination and release of the Collateral) have been paid in full in cash and the Secured Parties have no further commitment to extend credit under any Other First Lien Agreement.

SECTION 5.22. Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. No Secured Party that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to, any action hereunder or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Credit Agreement Agent, or similar capacities under any Other First Lien Agreement, as applicable, and, in any such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Credit Agreement Documents and any Other First Lien Agreement, including without limitation Article 8 of the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party not a party to the Credit Agreement or any Other First Lien Agreement that obtains the benefit of this Agreement shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Credit Agreement Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, under Article 8 of the Credit Agreement and the appointment of the Authorized Representative pursuant to the terms of any Other First Lien Agreement.
