3.2 Title; No Other Liens. Such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral free and clear of any and all Liens or claims, including, without limitation, liens arising as a result of such Grantor becoming bound (as a result of merger or otherwise) as Grantor under a security agreement entered into by another Person, except, with respect to any Collateral other than Pledged Equity Interests, for Permitted Liens and, in the case of Pledged Equity Interests, Permitted Liens arising pursuant to applicable law.

(a) The security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement constitute a legal and valid security interest in favor of the First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, securing the payment and performance of each Grantor’s Secured Obligations.

If required by the First Lien Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payments of Collateral consisting of Receivables, when collected by any Grantor, (i) shall forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) be deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the First Lien Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the First Lien Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the First Lien Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided in Section 5.4, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor on behalf of and for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Collateral consisting of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, following the First Lien Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver to the First Lien Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to the Collateral consisting of Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

5.2 Communications with Obligors. (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent in its own name or in the name of others may, following contemporaneous written notice to the Grantors provided no such notice shall be required in the case of any bankruptcy or insolvency of any Grantor, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the First Lien Collateral Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Collateral consisting of Receivables.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the First Lien Collateral Agent may following written notice to the applicable Grantor, notify, or require any Grantor to notify, the Account Debtor or counterparty to make all payments under such Receivables directly to the First Lien Collateral Agent.

5.3 Proceeds to be Turned Over To First Lien Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified in Section 5.1 with respect to payments of Collateral consisting of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and upon First Lien Collateral Agent’s written request, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor on behalf of and for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the First Lien Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the First Lien Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the First Lien Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the First Lien Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the First Lien Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor on behalf of and for the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 5.4.

5.4 Application of Proceeds. (a) Subject to Section 5.4(b) below, the Agreement Among Lenders and the First-Second Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the First Lien Collateral Agent’s election, the First Lien Collateral Agent may (and, if directed by the Required Lenders, shall), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.08 and Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement, apply all or any part of the Collateral and/or net Proceeds thereof (after deducting fees and expenses as provided in Section 5.5) realized through the exercise by the First Lien Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, in payment of the Secured Obligations. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall apply any such Collateral or Proceeds to be applied in the following order:

First, to the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Revolving Agent and the Administrative Agent to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses under the Loan Documents;

Second, to the Administrative Agent in respect of Secured Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid for application by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;

Third, to the Administrative Agent in respect of all Secured Obligations, (other than those under clause second above) for prepayment of such Secured Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; and

Fourth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after a Discharge of the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same and any Collateral remaining after a Discharge of Secured Obligations shall be returned to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

In addition, with respect to any proceeds of Insurance received by the First Lien Collateral Agent, (x) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) such Insurance Proceeds shall be returned to the Grantors if permitted or required by the Credit Agreement or (ii) if not so permitted or required by the Credit Agreement, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4(a) and (y) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then such Insurance Proceeds shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.4(a).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Bank, if such Issuing Bank, or the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of such Issuing Bank, shall have received any Collateral to “cash collateralize” any such Letter of Credit, all such Collateral shall first be applied to satisfy any reimbursement obligations and other obligations owing to the Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit before it may be applied as set forth in Section 5.4(a).

5.5 Code and Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the First Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and all rights under any other applicable law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the First Lien Collateral Agent, without further demand of performance or other demand, defense, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party, on the internet or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the First Lien Collateral Agent may store, repair or recondition any Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposal in the manner and to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent reasonably deems necessary and appropriate. Each Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or to become the licensor of all or any such Collateral, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. For purposes of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or a portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC or other applicable laws, including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code, the First Lien Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Secured Party or Secured Parties in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the First Lien Collateral Agent at such sale, such amount to be apportioned ratably to the Secured Obligations of the Secured Parties in accordance with their pro rata share of such Secured Obligations. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The First Lien Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The First Lien Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. The First Lien Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like. The foregoing will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially unreasonable for the First Lien Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the First Lien Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the First Lien Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree. Each Grantor further agrees, at the First Lien Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the First Lien Collateral Agent at places which the First Lien Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have the right to enter onto the property where any Collateral is located without any obligation to pay rent and take possession thereof with or without judicial process. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

(b) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall deduct from such Proceeds all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection with the exercise of its rights and remedies against the Collateral or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Any net Proceeds remaining after such deductions shall be applied or retained by the First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4. Only after such application and after the payment by the First Lien Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a) of the UCC, need the First Lien Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. If the First Lien Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, the Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser and received by the First Lien Collateral Agent. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, the First Lien Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and the applicable Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against any Secured Party arising out of the exercise by it or them of any rights hereunder.

(c) In the event of any Disposition of any of the Intellectual Property, the goodwill of the business connected with and symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such Disposition shall be included, and the applicable Grantor shall supply the First Lien Collateral Agent or its designee with such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and with documents and things embodying the same, relating to the exploitation of such Intellectual Property, including the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of products or the provision of services under such Intellectual Property, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to such Intellectual Property and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and sale of such products and services.

(d) For the purpose of enabling the First Lien Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 5.5 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the First Lien Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, and assignable license or sublicense (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of such Grantor to avoid the risk of invalidation of such Trademarks, and exercisable only upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to use, practice, license, sublicense, and otherwise exploit any and all Intellectual Property now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by such Grantor (which license shall include access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof) and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased, or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

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

5.7 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay its Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by any Secured Party to collect such deficiency, all in accordance with and subject to the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY

6.1 First Lien Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, Etc. (a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the First Lien Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take such appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the First Lien Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following:

Anything in this Section 6.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the First Lien Collateral Agent agrees that, except as provided in Section 6.1(b), it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 6.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the First Lien Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or time is of the essence, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not exercise this power without first making demand on the Grantor and the Grantor failing to promptly comply therewith.

(d) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.

6.2 Authorization of Financing Statements. Each Grantor acknowledges that pursuant to Section 9-509(b) of the UCC and any other applicable law, the First Lien Collateral Agent is authorized to file or record financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the First Lien Collateral Agent reasonably determines necessary and appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interests of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement. Each Grantor agrees that such financing statements may describe the collateral in the same manner as described in the Security documents or as “all assets” or “all personal property” of the such Grantor, whether now owned or hereafter existing or acquired by the such Grantor or such other description as the First Lien Collateral Agent, in its sole judgment, determines is necessary or advisable. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.

6.3 Further Assurances. Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, it shall, subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all commercially reasonable further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the First Lien Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the First Lien Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of any Collateral.

SECTION 7. LIEN ABSOLUTE; WAIVER OF SURETYSHIP DEFENSES

7.1 Lien Absolute, Waivers (a) All rights of First Lien Collateral Agent hereunder, and all obligations of Grantors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to, in each case, each of the following (whether or not such Grantor has knowledge thereof):

(i) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party;

(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Secured Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents;

(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any other Grantor or any of their Subsidiaries and any corresponding restructuring of the Secured Obligations;

(vii) any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, any collateral, including the Collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Secured Obligations) at such time and in such order and in such manner as the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Grantor would otherwise have and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions hereof, each Grantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Grantor under applicable law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2939, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433; and

(viii) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Grantor as an obligor in respect of the Secured Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower or any other Grantor for the Secured Obligations, or of such Grantor under the guarantee contained in the Credit Agreement or of any security interest granted by any Grantor, whether in a Bankruptcy Proceeding or in any other instance.

(b) In addition each Grantor further waives any and all other defenses, set- offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Grantor or Person against any Secured Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.

(c) Each Grantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Grantors with respect to the Secured Obligations.

When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, First Lien Collateral Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by First Lien Collateral Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrower, any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Secured Party against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

SECTION 8. THE FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT

8.1 Authority of First Lien Collateral Agent. (a) Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the First Lien Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the First Lien Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the First Lien 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 First Lien Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the First Lien Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

(b) The First Lien Collateral Agent has been appointed to act as First Lien Collateral Agent hereunder by the Lenders and, by their acceptance of the benefits hereof, the other Secured Parties. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the First Lien Collateral Agent, including without limitation, the provisions relating to resignation or removal of the First Lien Collateral Agent (subject to Section 8.3(e) hereof) and the powers and duties and immunities of the First Lien Collateral Agent, are incorporated herein by this reference and shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement.

8.2 Duty of First Lien Collateral Agent. The First Lien Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the First Lien Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys or other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, attorneys and other advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except to the extent that any such act or failure to act is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely and proximately from their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in breach of a duty owed to such Grantor.

8.3 Exculpation of the First Lien Collateral Agent. (a) The First Lien Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or of any Security Document or the validity or perfection of any security interest or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the First Lien Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties or by or on behalf of any Secured Party to the First Lien Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in connection with the Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Secured Obligations, nor shall the First Lien Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Security Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.

(b) Neither the First Lien Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted by the First Lien Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the Security Documents except to the extent caused solely and proximately by the First Lien Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action in connection herewith or any of the Security Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the First Lien Collateral Agent shall have been instructed in respect thereof by the Required Lenders and, upon such instruction, the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such written instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Grantors and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the First Lien Collateral Agent as a result of the First Lien Collateral Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any of the Security Documents in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the indemnification provisions of the Credit Agreement, each of the Secured Parties not party to the Credit Agreement severally agrees to indemnify the First Lien Collateral Agent, to the extent that the First Lien Collateral Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the First Lien Collateral Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the Security Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the First Lien Collateral Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Security Documents; provided, no such Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely and proximately from the First Lien Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the First Lien Collateral Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the First Lien Collateral Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the First Lien Collateral Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts insufficiently indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

(d) No direction given to the First Lien Collateral Agent which imposes, or purports to impose, upon the First Lien Collateral Agent any obligation not set forth in or arising under this Agreement or any Security Document accepted or entered into by the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be binding upon the First Lien Collateral Agent.

(e) Prior to the Discharge of the Secured Obligations, the First Lien Collateral Agent may resign at any time in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement. After the First Lien Collateral Agent’s resignation in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement, the provisions of Section 8 hereof and of Section 8 of the Credit Agreement shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as First Lien Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the First Lien Collateral Agent by a successor First Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Credit Agreement, the retiring First Lien Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor First Lien Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the First Lien Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor First Lien Collateral Agent.

8.4 Delegation of Duties. The First Lien Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Security Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent. The First Lien Collateral Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to any of the Affiliates of the First Lien Collateral Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Security Documents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each sub-agent appointed by the First Lien Collateral Agent or Affiliate of the First Lien Collateral Agent or Affiliate of any such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties, and such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent or Affiliate acting in such capacity.

8.5 No Individual Foreclosure, Etc. No Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guarantee of the Secured Obligations except to the extent expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the First Lien Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided hereunder and under any other Loan Documents, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Secured Party authorizes the First Lien Collateral Agent to credit bid all or any part of the Secured Obligations held by it.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each affected Grantor and the First Lien Collateral Agent, provided that any provision of this Agreement imposing obligations on any Grantor may be waived by the First Lien Collateral Agent in a written instrument executed by the First Lien Collateral Agent. After the Discharge of the Secured Obligations, the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified by a written instrument executed by each Grantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1, the Borrowers may amend the Schedules upon notice to Agent.

9.2 Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein to or upon the First Lien Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

9.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Grantor agrees to (a) pay or reimburse each Secured Party for all its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and (b) indemnify each Secured Party, in each case to the same extent that the Borrower is obligated to do so pursuant to Section 9.05 of the Credit Agreement. The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Secured Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.5 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns; provided that no Grantor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, unless permitted under the Credit Agreement, and any such assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void and (ii) and no Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with the Loan Documents.

9.6 Set-Off. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Secured Party at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), at any time held and other indebtedness owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of such Grantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Secured Party may elect, against any and all of the obligations of such Grantor to such Secured Party hereunder, whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, as such Secured Party may elect, whether or not any Secured Party has made any demand for payment and although such obligations may be unmatured, provided that, if such Secured Party is a Lender, it complies with Section 9.06 of the Credit Agreement. Each Secured Party exercising any right of set-off shall notify such Grantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Secured Party of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which such Secured Party may have.

9.7 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement by facsimile (or other electronic) transmission pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed original.

9.8 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 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.

9.9 Section Headings. The Section headings and 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.

9.10 Integration/Conflict. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Grantors, the First Lien Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the First Lien Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or therein. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of a Mortgage securing the Secured Obligations and the terms thereof are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall control in the case of fixtures and real property leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall control in the case of all other Collateral. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and this Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall govern and control.

9.11 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW RULES THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF A DIFFERENT GOVERNING LAW (OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE SECURITY INTERESTS).

9.12 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise) to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such New York state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court;

(c) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law and that nothing in this agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against such Grantor or any of its assets in the courts of any jurisdiction;

(d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section (and irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court);

(e) consents to service of process in the manner provided in Section 9.17 of the Credit Agreement (and agrees that nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law); and

(f) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

9.13 Acknowledgments. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that:

(a) in connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, it has consulted its own legal advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate;

(b) no Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Grantor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the provisions of Section 9.23 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis (to apply to this Agreement rather than the Credit Agreement), and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

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

9.14 Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor as required by the Credit Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

9.15 Releases. (a) The Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby as set forth in Section 9.20 of the Credit Agreement and Section 2(a) of this Agreement. This Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the First Lien Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors upon a Discharge of the Secured Obligations.

(b) Each Grantor acknowledges that, except upon release pursuant to clause (a) above, it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement originally filed in connection herewith without the prior written consent of the First Lien Collateral Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the UCC.

9.16 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 LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS

BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

[Remainder of page left intentionally blank.]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has caused this Second Lien Collateral Agreement to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
