Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may use, sell or dispose of any item of Collateral or security as provided in this Agreement without regard to any subrogation rights any Grantor may have, and upon any disposition or sale, any rights of subrogation any Grantor may have shall terminate.

Such Grantor also agrees to take any and all actions necessary to defend title to the Collateral against all persons and to defend, and effectuate and maintain, the security interest of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in its Collateral and the priority thereof against any lien or security interest not expressly permitted hereunder.

6.5. Uncertificated Collateral Equity Interests.

(ii) Such Grantor will permit the Applicable Agent or its nominee at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to exercise, and such Grantor hereby grants the Applicable Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default the exclusive right to exercise, all voting rights or other rights relating to the Collateral Equity Interest owned by such Grantor, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Equity Interest or Investment Property constituting such Collateral Equity Interest as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(iii) Such Grantor shall be entitled to collect and receive for its own use all cash dividends and interest paid in respect of the Collateral Equity Interest owned by it to the extent not in violation of the Indenture; provided that, to the extent, if any, that any Collateral Equity Interest is issued by a Person other than a Note Party, the following distributions and payments (collectively referred to as the “Excluded Payments”) shall be delivered to the Applicable Agent as and to the extent required in the following subsection (iv): (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of such Collateral Equity Interest, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any such Collateral Equity Interest; (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of such Collateral Equity Interest in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in capital of an issuer; and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed, in respect of principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, such Collateral Equity Interest; provided however, that until actually paid, all rights to such distributions shall remain subject to the liens and security interests created by this Agreement; and

(ii) with respect to any Collateral Equity Interest that constitutes a “certificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC (including any such interest in a limited partnership or limited liability company), such Grantor will not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior consent, cause or (to the extent such Grantor controls the issuer of such Collateral Equity Interest) allow such Collateral Equity Interests to become an “uncertificated security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC;

(iii) with respect to any Collateral Equity Interest that constitutes an “uncertificated security” under Article 8 of the UCC (including any such interest in a limited partnership or limited liability company), such Grantor will not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior consent, cause or (to the extent such Grantor controls the issuer of such Collateral Equity Interests) allow such Collateral Equity Interest to become a “certificated security” within the meaning of the UCC;

(iv) with respect to any Collateral Equity Interest owned by it that constitutes an interest in a limited partnership or limited liability company that is not a security (within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC) such Grantor shall not, without the Collateral Agent’s prior consent, cause or (to the extent such Grantor controls the issuer of such Collateral Equity Interest) allow the issuer of such Collateral Equity Interest to elect or otherwise take any action that would cause such Collateral Equity Interest to constitute a security for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC; and

6.8. Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit with a face amount in excess of $1,000,000, it shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and shall make reasonable commercial efforts to cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (a) consent to the assignment of the related Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Applicable Agent and (b) agree to direct all payments thereunder to a Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement, all in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

6.9. Control Agreements. Within the time period set forth in Section 11.2(c) of the Indenture, for each Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account (other than Excluded Accounts) that such Grantor at any time maintains, such Grantor will cause (or, at any time prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, while and to the extent an agreement granting “control” to the First Lien Collateral Agent over any such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account is in effect, will make commercially reasonable efforts to cause) at all times, pursuant to a Control Agreement in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, the depository bank that maintains such Deposit Account, the securities intermediary that maintains such Securities Account, or the commodities intermediary that maintains such Commodity Account, as applicable, to agree to comply at any time (a) with entitlement orders from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary with regard to a Securities Account, (b) with instructions from the Collateral Agent to such depository bank, directing the disposition of funds from time to time in such Deposit Account, and (c) with directions of the Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary for the application of value on account of commodity contracts carried in such Commodity Account, in each case without further consent of such Grantor and sufficient to grant the Collateral Agent with “control” within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC, Section 9-104 of the UCC and Section 9-106 of the UCC, as applicable, and Grantor shall take such other action as is necessary, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect the Collateral Agent’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) security interest in such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account, including by control as aforesaid; provided that, such Grantor shall not cause or permit any Excluded Account to cease to constitute an “Excluded Account” (other than as a result of the closing of such Excluded Account) unless such Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account, as applicable, is subject to a Control Agreement in favor of the Collateral Agent in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or the terms of any Control Agreement, unless an Event of Default is continuing the Collateral Agent will not enforce the terms of any Control Agreement in order to take possession of, or prevent or limit the ability of any Grantor to direct the disposition of, the funds and other assets held in any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account. The Company agrees to provide to the Collateral Agent each notice that the Company provides to the First Lien Collateral Agent (at the time such notice is provided to the Revolving Administrative Agent) regarding the opening of a Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account (other than an Excluded Account). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, if at any time the Senior Obligations are outstanding, (i) if a Control Agreement for a Deposit Account that would otherwise be subject to this Section 6.9 is reasonably acceptable to the First Lien Collateral Agent then it shall be deemed to be acceptable the Collateral Agent for purposes of complying with this Section 6.9 and (ii) if the Grantors shall have delivered a Control Agreement to the First Lien Collateral Agent for a Deposit Account that would otherwise be subject to this Section 6.9, the form of the Control Agreement (subject to customary modification to reflect the Applicable Agent’s interest in such Deposit Accounts) delivered to the First Lien Collateral Agent shall be deemed acceptable to the

Collateral Agent for purposes of complying with this Section 6.9; provided, however, that no Control Agreement shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Collateral Agent if it requires the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity to indemnify the commodity intermediary, banking institution or securities intermediary (as applicable).

6.10. Change of Name or Location; etc. Such Grantor shall ensure that the Company, promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the occurrence thereof, gives written notice to the Collateral Agent of any change in (i) the Company’s or any Guarantor’s corporate name, (ii) the jurisdiction in which the Company or any Guarantor is incorporated, formed, or otherwise organized, (iii) the location of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s chief executive office, (iv) the Company’s or any Guarantor’s identity or corporate, limited liability or partnership structure, or (v) the Company’s or any Guarantor’s organizational identification number in such jurisdiction of organization or federal taxpayer identification number.

6.11. Additional Grantors. Each Grantor agrees to cause each of its Subsidiaries that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Indenture to become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in respect of any delivery of any document or the taking of any other action required to be taken by a Grantor hereunder, the required date for such delivery or action may be extended solely with the consent of the Applicable Agent but in no event to a date that is later than 90 days after the initial applicable date by which such delivery or action is required.

(ii) those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iii) the right to give notice of sole control or any other instruction, directive or entitlement order under any Control Agreement and take any action therein with respect to such Collateral, and the right to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral;

(iv) without notice, demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person (except as specifically provided in Section 10.1 or elsewhere herein or in the UCC), the right to enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process), the right to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or

options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable;

(v) concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, the right to transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Collateral Equity Interest, and, whether or not such Collateral Equity Interest has been registered in the name of the Applicable Agent or its nominee, the rights to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral Equity Interests for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect, receive and retain all dividends, Stock Rights and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Collateral Equity Interests as though the Applicable Agent was the outright owner thereof; and

(vi) the right to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or liens or security interests on the Collateral (except for such liens or security interests as are specifically permitted hereunder).

(b) The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(c) Upon any such public sale or sales or any such private sale or sales, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), to the extent permitted by law, to purchase for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption the Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d) Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), as provided under applicable law, to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving or protecting the Collateral or its value, enforcing this Agreement or perfecting and maintaining the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(f) Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral Equity Interests and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and,

notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Collateral Equity Interests to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

7.2. Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default and subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will:

(a) assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere; and

(b) permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.

7.3. Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article VII at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense, during the continuance of an Event of Default, any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, under this Section 8.2 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any power or authority granted to it under this Section 8.2 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

8.3. Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT TO TAKE THOSE ACTIONS WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED EQUITY THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.6(b)(ii), INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF SUCH PLEDGED EQUITY WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS).

ARTICLE IX

COLLECTION AND APPLICATION OF RECEIVABLES AND OTHER COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

9.1. Collection and Application of Receivables and Other Collateral Proceeds. The Collateral Agent hereby authorizes each Grantor to collect such Grantor’s Receivables, and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) curtail or terminate said authority at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (but not at any other time). If required by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Proceeds constituting collections of such Receivables, when collected by such Grantor, (a) shall be forthwith (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) be deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by

such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in a Collateral Account maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent, subject to withdrawal by the Collateral Agent for the account of the Secured Parties only as provided below in this Section, and (b) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Receivables shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. All Proceeds constituting collections of Receivables while held by the Collateral Account bank (or by any Grantor in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for the Secured Obligations of the applicable Grantor and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in the Collateral Account established by the relevant Grantor to the payment of the Secured Obligations of such Grantor then due and owing, such application to be made as set forth below in this Section. In addition to the rights of the Secured Parties specified above with respect to payments of Receivables, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, all Proceeds of Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Secured Parties segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust 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 below in this Section. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Collateral Agent’s election, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) apply all or any part of Proceeds of any Grantor held in any Collateral Account in payment of the Secured Obligations of such Grantor in such order as the Collateral Agent may elect in compliance with the Secured Transaction Documents, and any part of such funds which the Collateral Agent elects not so to apply and deems not required as collateral security for such Secured Obligations shall be paid over from time to time by the Collateral Agent to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full shall be paid over to the Company or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1. Waivers. As provided in Section 9-612 of the UCC adopted in the State of New York, any notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made shall be deemed sent within a reasonable time if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article XI, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and at least ten days prior to (a) the date of any such public sale or (b) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or applicable law. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

10.2. Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and any Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.

10.3. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. The Grantors and the Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

10.4. Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may during the continuance of an Event of Default perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 10.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be included in the Secured Obligations and payable on demand.

10.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees that the covenants of the Grantors contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

10.6. No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Agreement or under any other Secured Transaction Document shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any default thereunder or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever (other than any Amendment or Assumption Agreement) shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. In addition, all such waivers or amendments shall be effective only if authorized pursuant to the applicable provisions under the Indenture, the other Note Documents or the Intercreditor Agreement. All rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

10.7. Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. 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 or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

10.8. Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

10.9. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder.

10.10. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

10.11. Taxes and Expenses. In addition to, but not in qualification or limitation of, any similar obligations under other Secured Transaction Documents, any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any, upon and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.18 of the Indenture. The Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any and all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, auditors’ and accountants’ fees) paid or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Agreement, in each case upon and pursuant to the terms set forth in Section 2.18 of the Indenture. Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

10.12. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

10.13. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until all of the events described in the last sentence of Section 2.1(d) hereof have occurred.

10.14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Secured Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

10.15. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT, IN EITHER CASE, SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY OR GRANTOR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

ARTICLE XIV

SUBORDINATION OF INDEBTEDNESS

14.1. Subordination of All Grantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Grantor Claims” means all debts and obligations of the Company or any other Grantor to any Grantor, whether such debts and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligation of the debtor thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or obligations be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or obligations may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by. After and during the continuation of an Event of Default, upon the written direction of the Collateral Agent, no Grantor shall receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any obligor in respect thereof any amount upon the Grantor Claims.

14.2. Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief or other insolvency proceedings involving any Grantor, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall have the right to prove their claim in any proceeding, so as to establish their rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian, dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Grantor Claims. Each Grantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties for application against the Company Obligations as provided under Section 4.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement. Should the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party receive, for application upon the Secured Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to any Grantor, and which, as between such Grantor, shall constitute a credit upon the Grantor Claims, then upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations, the intended recipient shall become subrogated to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties to the extent that such payments to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties on the Grantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Secured Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Secured Obligations which would have been unpaid if the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties had not received dividends or payments upon the Grantor Claims.

14.3. Payments Held in Trust. In the event that notwithstanding Section 14.1 and Section 14.2, any Grantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which is prohibited by such Sections, then it agrees: (a) to hold in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and (b) that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions except to pay them promptly to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and each Grantor covenants promptly to pay the same to the Collateral Agent.

14.4. Liens Subordinate. Each Grantor agrees that, until Payment in Full of the Company Obligations shall have occurred, any liens or security interests securing payment of the Grantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens or security interests securing payment of the Secured Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Until Payment in Full of the Company Obligations shall have occurred, no Grantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent, (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against any debtor in respect of the Grantor Claims, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceeding (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of or joinder in any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any lien or security interest held by it.
