have the right to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give the notice referred to above in order to exercise the rights described above.  Each Grantor will promptly give to the Collateral Agent copies of any notices material to the interests of the Lenders received by it with respect to Pledged Securities registered in the name of such Grantor.  Each Grantor will take any and all actions reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to facilitate compliance with this Section 2.05.

Section 2.06                             Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest.  (a)              Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower that the rights of such Grantor under this Section 2.06 are being suspended:

(i)                           Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with or not expressly prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such rights and powers shall not be exercised in any manner that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the rights and remedies of any of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which any Grantor is a party or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii)                        The Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as any Grantor may reasonably request in writing for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, in each case as shall be specified in such request and be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders).

(iii)                     Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not expressly prohibited by, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and applicable Laws; provided that any noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Equity or Pledged Debt, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).  So long as no Event of

12

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor (at the expense of such Grantor) any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities.

(b)                                 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of such Grantor under Section 2.06(a), then all rights of such Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(iii) shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection), which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.  All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary stock or note powers or other instruments of transfer reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).  Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to such effect (solely with respect to any Events of Default that have been cured and then only to the extent that the cure of any such Event of Default is not conditioned on the approval or satisfaction of the Collateral Agent or any other Person, as to which the parties acknowledge the Borrower is not in a position to make such certification) the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(a)(iii) in the absence of any such Event of Default and that remain in such account, and such Grantor’s right to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Securities shall be automatically reinstated.

(c)                                  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of such Grantor under Section 2.06(a), then all rights of such Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 2.06(a)(ii), shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become, subject to the rights of the ABL Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien Agent under the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Requisite Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived in accordance with the Credit Agreement and the Borrower shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate to such

13

effect (solely with respect to any Events of Default that have been cured and then only to the extent that the cure of any such Event of Default is not conditioned on the approval or satisfaction of the Collateral Agent or any other Person, as to which the parties acknowledge the Borrower is not in a position to make such certification), each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(a)(i), and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall automatically be reinstated.

(d)                                 Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower suspending the rights of such Grantor under this Section 2.06, (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under Sections 2.06(a)(i) or (iii) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in writing) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.06(a), (b) or (c), if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any notice referred to in said Sections in order to exercise any of its rights described in such Sections, and the suspension of the rights of each of the Grantors under each such Section shall be automatic upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such Bankruptcy Event of Default.

Section 2.07                             Collateral Agent Not a Partner or Limited Liability Company Member.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Equity consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or any other Person.

16

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements or continuation statements (including fixture filings) with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) describe the collateral covered thereby in any manner that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is necessary or advisable to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Article 9 Collateral granted under this Agreement including indicating the Collateral as all assets or all personal property of such Grantor or words of similar effect and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC, of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates.  Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon receipt by such Grantor of written request therefor from the Collateral Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to fixtures, the Collateral Agent shall only file financing statements in the jurisdiction of organization of a Grantor, except in connection with a Mortgage in which case such fixture filing shall be filed in the office in which the related Mortgage is recorded.

18

general equitable principles, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) pursuant to the UCC and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Article 9 Collateral (other than with respect to any Copyright that is not material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole) in which a security interest may be perfected upon the due recording of the relevant Grants of Security Interest with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three (3) month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C.  § 261 or 15 U.S.C.  § 1060 or the one (1) month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C.  § 205.  The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any nonconsensual Lien that is permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement and has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any other Lien that is permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement and which, in the case of Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(v) of the Credit Agreement, are subject at all times to the Intercreditor Agreement, in the case of Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement, are subject at all times to the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and, in the case of Liens permitted pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, are subject at all times to the Notes Intercreditor Agreement.

22

(b)                                 Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons, except with respect to Article 9 Collateral that such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment is no longer necessary or beneficial to the conduct of the business, and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

(c)                                  At the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 7.1(a) of the Credit Agreement and delivery of the related Compliance Certificate, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower setting forth a listing of (i) any new Material Real Property owned by any Loan Party that has been acquired since the last such certificate (or since the Effective Date, in the case of the first such certificate delivered after the Effective Date), (ii) any United States Patents (and Patents for which applications are pending), United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which registration is pending) and United States registered Copyrights (and Copyrights for which registration applications are pending) acquired, created, developed, or exclusively licensed by any Loan Party since the most recent list delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), (or, in the case of the first such list so delivered, since the Effective Date) and (iii) any new Restricted Subsidiary since the date of the most recent list delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c), or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).

(d)                                 Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral (other than by a Loan Party) that equals or exceeds $3,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or instrument, such promissory note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, delivered to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders).

(e)                                  At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within ten (10) days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided that

23

nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as (i) excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents to which such Grantor is a party, (ii) imposing on any Grantor any obligation with respect to the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral not otherwise imposed by the Credit Agreement, or (iii) requiring any Grantor to obtain or maintain any insurance coverage not otherwise required to be obtained or maintained by any Grantor under the Credit Agreement.

(f)                                   If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property (which security interest does not otherwise constitute Excluded Property) of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which equals or exceeds $1,500,000 (determined on a per property basis) to secure payment and performance of an Account owed by, or related contracts providing for payments by the applicable Account Debtor or other Person, such Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

(g)                                  Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary other than the filing of a UCC financing statement, (i) no actions shall be required to perfect the security interest granted hereunder in letter-of-credit rights, (ii) no actions shall be required to perfect the security interest granted hereunder in motor vehicles and other assets subject to certificates of title and (iii) no Grantor shall be required to complete any filings or other action with respect to the perfection of the security interests created hereby in any jurisdiction outside of the United States or any State thereof.

Section 3.04                             Other Actions.  In order to further insure the attachment, perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

(a)                                 Instruments.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any instruments constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount equal to or in excess of $3,000,000 (or, in the case of ABL Priority Collateral, $1,500,000) such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by

24

such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(b)                                 Investment Property.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities (other than Excluded Securities), such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

(c)                                  Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire a commercial tort claim in an amount of $3,000,000 or more, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof at the time of delivery of financial statements as required by Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of the Credit Agreement in writing and at such time provide supplements to Schedule III describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent (or the First Lien Agent as the Collateral Agent’s bailee for perfection) a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV

Special Provisions Concerning IP Collateral

Section 4.01                             Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof or any other rights of the Collateral Agent as the holder of a Security Interest in any IP Collateral, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement 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 Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to use, license or sublicense any of the IP Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located (whether or not any license agreement by and between any Grantor and any other Person relating to the use of such IP Collateral may be terminated hereafter), and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, provided, however, that any such license granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party shall include reasonable and customary terms necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected IP Collateral, including without limitation, provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, protecting and maintaining the quality standards of the Trademarks in the manner set forth below (it being understood and agreed that, without limiting any other rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or applicable Law, nothing in the foregoing license grant shall be construed as granting the Collateral Agent rights in and to such IP Collateral above and beyond (x) the rights to such IP Collateral that each Grantor has reserved for itself and (y) in the case of IP Collateral that is licensed to any such Grantor by a third party, the extent to which such Grantor has the right to grant a sublicense to such IP Collateral hereunder).

25

The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may only be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall immediately terminate at such time as the Collateral Agent is no longer lawfully entitled to exercise its rights and remedies under this Agreement and all rights that may be deemed to have vested in the Collateral Agent shall be and hereby are assigned, transferred and conveyed to the Grantors.  Nothing in this Section 4.01 shall require a Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor.  In the event the license set forth in this Section 4.01 is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the following shall apply:  (i) all goodwill arising from any licensed or sublicensed use of any Trademark shall inure to the benefit of the Grantor; (ii) the licensed or sublicensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by Grantor prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein; and (iii) at the Grantor’s request and expense, licensees and sublicensees shall provide reasonable cooperation in any effort by the Grantor to maintain the registration or otherwise secure the ongoing validity and effectiveness of such licensed Trademarks, including, without limitation the actions and conduct described in Section 4.02 below.

Section 4.02                             Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security.

(a)                                 Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(h) below, and except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor agrees to take, with respect to each registration or pending application of its IP Collateral for which such Grantor has standing to do so, at its expense, all reasonable steps in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U. S. Copyright Office to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered IP Collateral and maintain such IP Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such IP Collateral of such Grantor with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, including, without limitation, (A) the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable, or (B) the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings, in each case with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S Copyright Office.

(b)                                 Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(h) below, or except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its IP Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, lose its competitive value).

26

(c)                                  In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the IP Collateral material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole, is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor reasonably deems appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such IP Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

(d)                                 Each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice as commercially practical in connection with its use of each item of its IP Collateral that is material to the business of the Grantors, taken as a whole.  Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(h) below, or except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its IP Collateral may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain.

(e)                                  Except to the extent permitted by Section 4.02(h) below, or except for exceptions to the following that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its IP Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all reasonable steps reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.

(f)                                   Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any IP Collateral after the Effective Date (the “After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the IP Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

(g)                                  At the time of delivery of financial statements as required by Section 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Security Agreement Supplement and related Intellectual Property Security Agreement with respect to applications for registration or registrations of IP Collateral owned or exclusively licensed by it as of the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter, to the extent that such IP Collateral is not covered by any previous Security Agreement Supplement (and Intellectual Property Security Agreement) so signed and delivered by it.  In each case, it will promptly cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to make any necessary recordations (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) with the U.S. Copyright Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as appropriate.

(h)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 3.02), nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from abandoning or discontinuing the use or maintenance of any or its IP Collateral, or from failing to take action to enforce license agreements or pursue actions against infringers,

27

if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such abandonment, discontinuance, or failure to take action is desirable in the conduct of its business.

ARTICLE V

[Reserved]

ARTICLE VI

Remedies

Section 6.01                             Remedies Upon Default.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party under this Agreement, the UCC or other applicable Law, and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, also may, (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted (including pursuant to the terms of the applicable lease or any applicable Collateral Access Agreement), leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; (iv) withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any Approved Deposit Account and apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 6.02 of this Agreement; (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders) and (vi) with respect to any IP Collateral, on receipt of written demand from the Collateral Agent, cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such IP Collateral (provided that no such demand may be made unless an Event of Default has occurred and has continued for thirty (30) consecutive days) by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent being free to sell, transfer, offer for sale, otherwise dispose of such IP Collateral, or license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such IP Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders), provided, however, that such terms shall include all terms and restrictions that are customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the IP Collateral (if any) at issue, such as,

28

without limitation, notice, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software, and confidentiality protections for trade secrets.  The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale.

Each Grantor acknowledges and recognizes that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. §77, (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”) or the securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if such securities were sold at public sales, (c) neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit such securities to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.  To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each Grantor hereby waives any claim against any Secured Party arising because the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.  Upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral 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 appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of Law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors not less than ten (10) days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  The Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors.  Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor.  The Collateral Agent and any

29

such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor).  Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders, in their sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the Borrower by the Collateral Agent of its intent to exercise such rights (except in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in which case no such notice shall be required), for the purpose of, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 8.5 of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium then due in whole or in part relating thereto.  All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with

30

this paragraph, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, in each case to the extent payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement), shall be payable, within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by the Grantor from the Collateral Agent of written demand therefor, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.  All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this paragraph are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Collateral Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Collateral Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

Section 6.02                             Application of Proceeds.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement.  Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and the First Lien/Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement and compliance with applicable Law, the Collateral Agent (acting at the direction, or with the consent, of the Requisite Lenders in their absolute discretion) as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.  It is understood and agreed that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

ARTICLE VII

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination
